PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
DATED JULY __, 2024 FOR A SPECIAL MEETING OF
THE STOCKHOLDERS OF INSIGHT ACQUISITION CORP.

AND PROSPECTUS FOR UP TO 6,145,000 SHARES
OF INSIGHT ACQUISITION CORP. COMMON STOCK AND
7,500,000 SHARES OF INSIGHT ACQUISITION CORP.
SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK

July 3, 2024

TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF INSIGHT ACQUISITION CORP.:

We are pleased to enclose the proxy statement/prospectus of Insight Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“IAC”), relating to the proposed merger (the “Merger”) of IAC Merger Sub Inc., a Florida corporation and newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of IAC (“Merger Sub”), with and into Alpha Modus, Corp., a Florida corporation (“Alpha Modus”), pursuant to a Business Combination Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2023 (as amended by the First Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of June 21, 2024, and as it may be further amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among IAC, Merger Sub and Alpha Modus. If (i) the Business Combination Agreement is adopted and the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby (collectively, the “Business Combination”) are approved by IAC’s and Alpha Modus’ stockholders, and (ii) the Business Combination is subsequently completed, Merger Sub will merge with and into Alpha Modus with Alpha Modus surviving the Business Combination as a wholly-owned subsidiary of IAC, and all shares of Alpha Modus stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) (other than those properly exercising any applicable appraisal rights under applicable law) will be converted into the right to receive shares of IAC common stock or IAC Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock as set forth herein. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, IAC will change its name to “Alpha Modus Holdings, Inc.” or another name to be determined by Alpha Modus. We refer to IAC following the consummation of the Business Combination as “New IAC,” the shares of IAC Class A common stock following the consummation of the Business Combination as the “New IAC common stock,” and the shares of IAC Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock following the consummation of the Business Combination as the “New IAC Series C Preferred Stock.”

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, among other matters, at the Effective Time, each share of Alpha Modus common stock will be converted into the right to receive one share of New IAC common stock (the “Per Share Common Stock Consideration”), as well as a contingent right to receive a portion of 2,200,000 earnout shares of New IAC common stock pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, and each share of Alpha Modus Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock will be converted into the right to receive one share of New IAC Series C Preferred Stock (the “Per Share Preferred Stock Consideration”), as well as a contingent right to receive a portion of the earnout shares pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement.

It is anticipated, upon the completion of the Business Combination, that IAC’s public stockholders will retain an ownership interest of approximately 3.8% of the outstanding common stock of New IAC, Insight Acquisition Sponsor LLC, IAC’s sponsor, will retain an aggregate ownership interest of approximately 33.3% of the outstanding common stock of New IAC, and the Alpha Modus stockholders and debt holder will own approximately            % of the outstanding common stock of New IAC. Alpha Modus’ CEO and majority shareholder, William Alessi, will be deemed to beneficially own in excess of 31.6% of the outstanding common stock of New IAC and 100% of the outstanding preferred stock of New IAC upon the completion of the Business Combination (equating to approximately 55.8% of the voting stock of New IAC in the aggregate). As a result of Mr. Alessi’s beneficial ownership of a majority of New IAC’s voting stock, New IAC will be a “controlled company” under The Nasdaq Stock Market corporate governance rules, and thus New IAC will be eligible for certain exemptions from the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, though New IAC does not intend to rely on those exemptions. The foregoing ownership percentages with respect to New IAC following the Business Combination exclude any outstanding Warrants and assume that (i) there are no redemptions of any shares by IAC’s public stockholders in connection with the Business Combination (or in connection with an amendment to the IAC Charter prior to the Closing to extend the deadline by which IAC must complete its initial business combination), (ii) IAC does not engage in any kind of additional equity financing prior to the Closing, and (iii) no earnout shares are issued to the Alpha Modus stockholders or released to the Sponsor, as the applicable milestones relating thereto are not expected to be achieved within 60 days of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. If the actual facts are different than these assumptions (which they are likely to be), the percentage ownership retained by IAC’s existing stockholders in New IAC will be different.

 

Table of Contents

In connection with the Amended Registration Rights Agreement executed simultaneously with the Business Combination Agreement, approximately 4,500,000 shares of New IAC common stock, held by the Sponsor and the Anchor Investors, as defined herein, approximately 4,340,000 shares of New IAC common stock deemed to be beneficially owned by William Alessi, and up to 8,700,000 shares of New IAC common stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants held by Sponsor and the underwriter, shall be entitled to registration rights. This amount of shares subject to registration rights does not include any earnout shares which the Sponsor may receive following the closing of the Business Combination Agreement. In the event the Sponsor does receive any earnout shares, the Sponsor will have registration rights with respect to such earnout shares.

IAC’s units and IAC’s Class A common stock are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbols “INAQU” and “INAQ,” respectively, and IAC’s public warrants are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “INAQW,” both exchanges are run by The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”). IAC will apply to list the New IAC common stock to be issued in connection with the Business Combination and the New IAC public warrants on Nasdaq under the symbols “AMOD,” and “AMODW” upon the Closing. Upon the Closing, IAC’s units will be separated into their component securities and will cease to be listed on Nasdaq.

IAC will hold a virtual special meeting of its stockholders (the “IAC Special Meeting”) in order to obtain the stockholder approvals necessary to complete the Business Combination. At the IAC Special Meeting, which will be held exclusively via a live audio webcast at https://www.[•], on [•], 2024, at [•] a.m., Eastern Time, unless postponed or adjourned to a later date, IAC will ask its stockholders to adopt the Business Combination Agreement and the related transactions, thereby approving the Business Combination, and to approve the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus. To participate in the virtual meeting, an IAC stockholder of record will need the control number included on such stockholder’s proxy card or instructions that accompanied such stockholder’s proxy materials. If an IAC stockholder holds his, her or its shares in “street name,” which means his, her or its shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, such IAC stockholder should contact his, her or its broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares he, she or it beneficially owns are properly counted. In this regard, such IAC stockholder must provide the record holder of his, her or its shares with instructions on how to vote his, her or its shares, or, if such IAC stockholder wishes to attend the IAC Special Meeting and vote in person, obtain a proxy from his, her or its broker, bank or nominee. The live audio webcast of the IAC Special Meeting will begin promptly at            a.m., Eastern Time. IAC stockholders are encouraged to access the IAC Special Meeting prior to the start time.

This proxy statement/prospectus provides you with detailed information about the Business Combination and other matters to be considered at the IAC Special Meeting.    We urge you to read the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus including the financial statements and annexes and other documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety. In particular, when IAC stockholders consider the recommendation regarding these proposals by the board of directors of IAC, they should keep in mind that IAC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to, or may conflict with, their interests as an IAC stockholder. For instance, the Sponsor will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete a business combination that is less favorable to shareholders rather than liquidating IAC. In addition, you should carefully consider the matters discussed under “Risk Factors” beginning on page 27 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

At the IAC Special Meeting, IAC stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon the following proposals (the “Proposals”):

(i)     The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1— To approve and adopt the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2023, as amended by the First Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of June 21, 2024 (and as it may be further amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Insight Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“IAC”), IAC Merger Sub Inc., a Florida corporation and newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of IAC (“Merger Sub”), and Alpha Modus, Corp., a Florida corporation (“Alpha Modus”), and approve the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger of Merger Sub with and into Alpha Modus, with Alpha Modus continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Subsidiary”) and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of IAC (the “Merger” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, among other matters, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”). We refer to this proposal as the “Business Combination Proposal,” and we refer to IAC following the consummation of the Business Combination as “New IAC.” A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached to the proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A.

(ii)    Amended and Restated Charter Proposal (Proposal 2— To consider and vote upon a proposal to amend IAC’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (the “IAC Charter”), in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, by adopting the second amended and restated certificate of incorporation attached hereto as Annex B (the “Amended and Restated Charter”), which includes the authorization to issue and designation of 7,500,000 new shares of preferred stock as Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, which we refer to as the “Amended and Restated Charter Proposal”;

Table of Contents

(iv)   The Adjournment Proposal (Proposal 4) — To consider and vote upon a proposal to authorize the chairman of the Special Meeting to adjourn the IAC Special Meeting to a later date or dates, in his discretion. We refer to this proposal as the “Adjournment Proposal” and, together with the Business Combination Proposal, the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal, and the Nasdaq Proposal, as the “Proposals.”

Only holders of record of IAC common stock at the close of business on [•], 2024 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of the IAC Special Meeting and to vote at the IAC Special Meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the IAC Special Meeting. A complete list of IAC stockholders of record entitled to vote at the IAC Special Meeting will be available for ten days before the IAC Special Meeting at the principal executive offices of IAC for inspection by stockholders during ordinary business hours for any purpose germane to the IAC Special Meeting.

Pursuant to the IAC Charter, IAC is providing IAC public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem, upon the closing of the Business Combination, shares of IAC Class A common stock then held by them for cash equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to IAC to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. As of [•], based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $[•] million as of such date, the pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account for the redemption of public shares of IAC Class A common stock was approximately $[•] per share. IAC public stockholders are not required to affirmatively vote for or against the Business Combination in order to redeem their shares of common stock for cash. This means that public stockholders who hold shares of IAC Class A common stock on or before [•], 2024 (two (2) business days before the IAC Special Meeting), will be eligible to elect to have their shares of IAC Class A common stock redeemed for cash in connection with the IAC Special Meeting, whether or not they are holders as of the Record Date, and whether or not such shares are voted at the IAC Special Meeting. Holders of IAC’s outstanding public warrants and units do not have redemption rights with respect to such securities in connection with the Business Combination. Holders of outstanding IAC units must separate the underlying shares of IAC Class A common stock and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public IAC Class A common stock. Our sponsor, Insight Acquisition Sponsor LLC (our “Sponsor”), an affiliate of our Executive Chairman and CEO, and each of our officers and directors, have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any shares of IAC common stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, and such shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. Currently, the Sponsor and officers and directors of IAC beneficially own [66.4]% of the issued and outstanding shares of IAC common stock. The Sponsor and IAC’s directors and officers have agreed to vote any shares of IAC common stock owned by them in favor of the Business Combination, which would include the Business Combination Proposal and the other Proposals.

Your vote is very important, regardless of the number of shares of IAC common stock that you own. The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of 65% of the issued and outstanding shares of IAC common stock as of the Record Date for the IAC Special Meeting. The approval of the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of IAC common stock and a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of IAC Class A Common Stock as of the Record Date for the IAC Special Meeting. The Nasdaq Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal each require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of IAC common stock cast by the stockholders represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the IAC Special Meeting. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal and the Nasdaq Proposal will not be presented to the IAC stockholders for a vote. The approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal, and the Nasdaq Proposal are preconditions to the consummation of the Business Combination.

The IAC board of directors has considered the Business Combination and the terms of the Business Combination Agreement (as amended through the date hereof), and unanimously approved and declared advisable the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, and unanimously determined that Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination are in the best interests of IAC and its stockholders. The IAC board of directors recommends that its stockholders vote “FOR” the proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus. When you consider the recommendation regarding these proposals by the IAC board of directors, you should keep in mind that IAC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to, or may conflict with, your interests as an IAC stockholder. For instance, the Sponsor will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete a

business combination that is less favorable to shareholders rather than liquidating IAC. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Certain Interests of IAC’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Your attention is directed to the proxy statement/prospectus accompanying this notice (including the annexes thereto) for a more complete description of the proposed Business Combination and related transactions and each of the Proposals. We encourage you to read this proxy statement/prospectus carefully. If you have any questions or need assistance voting your shares, please call our proxy solicitor, Advantage Proxy, Inc., toll-free at (877) 870-8565 or collect at (206) 870-8565 or by email at ksmith@advantageproxy.com.

Q:     Are the proposals conditioned on one another?

A:     Unless the Business Combination Proposal is approved, the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal and the Nasdaq Proposal will not be presented to the stockholders of IAC at the IAC Special Meeting, insofar as the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal and the Nasdaq Proposal are conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal (and the Business Combination Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal and the Nasdaq Proposal). The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. It is important for you to note that if the Business Combination Proposal does not receive the requisite vote for approval, IAC will not consummate the Business Combination. If IAC does not consummate the Business Combination and fails to complete an initial business combination by July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent), IAC will be required, in accordance with the IAC Charter, to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then-remaining funds in such account (less amounts released to pay franchise and income tax obligations and up to $100,000 for dissolution expenses, and amounts paid pursuant to redemptions) to its public stockholders, unless it seeks and obtains the approval of IAC stockholders to amend the IAC Charter to extend such date.

Q:     What will happen in the Business Combination?

A:     At the Closing, (i) the outstanding shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of IAC (“IAC Class A common stock”), including any shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of IAC (“IAC Class B common stock”, will be converted into shares of IAC Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of IAC (“IAC Class A common stock,” and following the Business Combination “New IAC common stock”), in accordance with IAC’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (the “IAC Charter”), on a 1-for-1 basis; (ii) each share of Alpha Modus common stock (other than those properly exercising any applicable appraisal rights under applicable law) will be converted into (A) one share of New IAC common stock, and (B) the contingent right to receive a pro rata portion of the Earnout Shares (as defined below) (which may be zero); and (iii) each share of Alpha Modus preferred stock (other than those properly exercising any applicable appraisal rights under applicable law) will be converted into (A) one share of Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock of IAC (“New IAC Series C Preferred Stock”), and (B) the contingent right to receive a pro rata portion of the Earnout Shares (as defined below) (which may be zero) (collectively the “Merger Consideration”).

x

Table of Contents

The stockholders of Alpha Modus may be issued up to 2,200,000 additional shares of New IAC common stock (the “Earnout Shares”). The Earnout Shares will be earned and issued in one-third (1/3) increments (of approximately 733,333 shares) if, for any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30)-consecutive trading day period beginning at least 180 days after the Closing Date and on or prior to the 5-year anniversary of the Closing, the VWAP of the New IAC common stock equals or exceeds $13.00 per share, $15.00 per share and $18.00 per share (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like after the Closing), respectively, with all remaining Earnout Shares earned and issued upon certain changes of control of IAC at or prior to the 5-year anniversary of the Closing.

Additionally, at the Closing, IAC’s sponsor, Insight Acquisition Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) will deposit 750,000 shares of IAC common stock into escrow (the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”), and the Sponsor Earnout Shares will be released to the Sponsor according to the same milestones and timelines applicable to the Earnout Shares described above. Additionally, IAC and the Sponsor agreed that the Sponsor will forfeit and cancel 750,000 shares of IAC common stock at Closing.

Finally, at the Closing, (i) the combined company will use its best efforts to pay off IAC’s loan(s) from Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (“Polar”) (expected to be approximately $975,000 at Closing), (ii) the combined company will use its best efforts to pay Alpha Modus’ loans from Janbella Group, LLC (“Janbella”) (expected to be approximately $1,400,000 at Closing), (iii) the combined company will issue to Janbella 1,392,308 shares of IAC common stock, (iv) the combined company will issue to Michael Singer 125,000 shares of IAC common stock, (v) the combined company will issue to Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”) 210,000 shares of IAC common stock, and (vi) the combined company will issue to Odeon Capital Group, LLC (“Odeon”) 90,000 shares of IAC common stock.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, Alpha Modus will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of IAC. After the Closing of the Business Combination, the cash held in the Trust Account will be released from the Trust Account and used to pay each of IAC’s and Alpha Modus’ transaction expenses and other liabilities of IAC due as of the Closing, and for working capital and general corporate purposes. A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A.

The closing of the Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement including, among other things, receipt of the requisite stockholder approval contemplated by this proxy statement/prospectus. For more information about the closing conditions to the Business Combination, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Business Combination Proposal — Conditions to the Closing of the Business Combination.”

The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing of the Business Combination upon agreement of Alpha Modus and IAC, or by Alpha Modus or IAC acting alone, in specified circumstances. For more information about the termination rights under the Business Combination Agreement, see the section titled “Business Combination Proposal — Termination.”

Pursuant to the IAC Charter, in connection with the Business Combination, holders of Public Shares may elect to redeem, subject to the closing of the Business Combination, shares of IAC Class A common stock then held by them for cash equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to the consummation of IAC’s Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to IAC to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. As of [•], 2024, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $[•] million as of such date, the pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account for the redemption of public shares of IAC Class A common stock was approximately $[•] per share.

IAC public stockholders are not required to attend or vote at the IAC Special Meeting in order to redeem their shares of IAC Class A common stock for cash. This means that public stockholders who hold shares of IAC Class A common stock on or before             , 2024 (two (2) business days before the IAC Special Meeting) will be eligible to elect to have their shares of IAC Class A common stock redeemed for cash, whether or not they are holders as of the Record Date, and whether or not such shares are voted at the IAC Special Meeting. If a holder exercises its redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination, then such holder will be exchanging its IAC Class A common stock for cash and will only have equity interests in New IAC pursuant to its right to the exercise of its Public Warrants, to the extent it still holds Public Warrants. Such a holder will be entitled to receive cash for its Public Shares only if it properly demands redemption and delivers its shares

Table of Contents

(either physically or electronically) to our transfer agent at least two business days prior to the IAC Special Meeting. Holders of Public Shares may elect to redeem their shares whether or not such shares are voted at the IAC Special Meeting. See the section titled “IAC Special Meeting — Redemption Rights.”

The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement will be consummated only if the Business Combination Proposal, the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal, and the Nasdaq Proposal are approved at the IAC Special Meeting. In addition, the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal and the Nasdaq Proposal are conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The Business Combination involves numerous risks. For more information about these risks, see the section titled “Risk Factors.”

Q:     What equity stake will current stockholders of IAC and Alpha Modus stockholders hold in New IAC after the Closing?

A:     It is anticipated that, upon the completion of the Business Combination, IAC’s Public Stockholders will retain an ownership interest of approximately 3.8% of the outstanding common stock of New IAC, the Sponsor will retain an aggregate ownership interest of approximately 33.3% of the outstanding common stock of New IAC, the Anchor Investors will retain an aggregate ownership interest of approximately 4.9% of the outstanding common stock of New IAC, Polar will own approximately 7.3% of the outstanding common stock of New IAC, the Alpha Modus stockholders and debt holder will own approximately 54.9% of the outstanding common stock of New IAC, and Alpha Modus’ CEO and majority shareholder, William Alessi, will be deemed to beneficially own in excess of 31.6% of the outstanding common stock of New IAC and 100% of the outstanding preferred stock of New IAC. The foregoing ownership percentages with respect to New IAC following the Business Combination excludes any outstanding Warrants and assumes that (i) there are no redemptions of any shares by IAC’s public stockholders in connection with the Business Combination, (ii) IAC does not engage in any kind of additional equity financing prior to the Closing, and (iii) no earnout shares are issued to the Alpha Modus stockholders or released to the Sponsor, as the applicable milestones relating thereto are not expected to be achieved within 60 days of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. If the actual facts are different than these assumptions (which they are likely to be), the percentage ownership retained by IAC’s existing stockholders in New IAC will be different.

If any of IAC’s Public Stockholders exercise their redemption rights, the percentage of New IAC’s outstanding common stock held by IAC’s Public Stockholders will decrease, and the percentages of New IAC’s outstanding common stock held by the Sponsor, the Anchor Investors, by Polar, and by the Alpha Modus stockholders and debt holder will increase, in each case, relative to the percentage held if none of the Public Shares are redeemed.

If any of IAC’s public stockholders as of [•], 2024, redeem their Public Shares at Closing in accordance with the IAC Charter but continue to hold Public Warrants after the Closing, the aggregate value of the Public Warrants that may be retained by them, based on the closing trading price per Public Warrant of $0.02 as of [•], 2024, would be $240,000 regardless of the amount of redemptions by the Public Shareholders. Upon the issuance of New IAC common stock in connection with the Business Combination, the percentage ownership of New IAC by IAC’s public stockholders who do not redeem their Public Shares will be diluted. IAC public stockholders that do not redeem their Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination will experience further dilution upon the exercise of Public Warrants that are retained after the Closing by redeeming IAC public stockholders. The percentage of the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock that will be owned by IAC public stockholders as a group will vary based on the number of Public Shares for which the holders thereof request redemption in connection with the Business Combination.

(1)      This table does not include the 12,000,000 shares underlying IAC Public Warrants, the 8,700,000 shares underlying IAC Private Placement Warrants, or the 2,200,000 Earnout Shares that may be issued to the stockholders of Alpha Modus upon meeting certain milestones. Additionally, the table does not include any shares of common stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock to be issued at Closing of the Business Combination, as the shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be issued at Closing are generally not convertible into IAC Class A common stock until 18 months following Closing. The table assumes that each share of IAC Class B common stock outstanding prior to Closing the Business Combination will be converted into IAC Class A common stock in accordance with the IAC Charter on a 1-for-1 basis. Although the IAC Charter provides for an anti-dilutive adjustment to the IAC Class B-to-IAC Class A common stock conversion ratio (to a ratio greater than 1-for-1) if the number of shares of IAC Class A common stock issued or deemed issued in connection with the Business Combination is in excess of the number of shares of IAC Class A common stock originally issued in the IAC IPO, that anti-dilutive adjustment will not be triggered at the Closing since less than 24,000,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock (the number of shares of IAC Class A common stock issued in the IAC IPO) will be issued in connection with the Business Combination.

   

(2)      Includes 1,392,308 shares of IAC Class A common stock that will be issued by IAC to Janbella at Closing and 6,145,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock that will be issued by IAC to Alpha Modus’ stockholders in the Business Combination as Merger Consideration. Prior to Closing, Janbella owned 1,400,000 shares of Alpha Modus common stock, and Polar owned 1,000,000 shares of Alpha Modus common stock, such that the 6,145,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock that will be issued to Alpha Modus’ stockholders as Merger Consideration includes 1,400,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock that will be issued to Janbella as Merger Consideration, and 1,000,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock that will be issued to Polar as Merger Consideration. Janbella Group, LLC is controlled by William Alessi, the current CEO and principal stockholder of Alpha Modus, who is also expected to be the combined company’s CEO and principal stockholder.

(3)      Includes 2,792,308 shares of IAC Class A common stock to be held by Janbella following Closing, as well as 1,550,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock to be held by the following other affiliates of Mr. Alessi following Closing: (i) 350,000 shares to be held in the name of The 2023 Irrevocable Trust, (ii) 300,000 shares to be held in the name of The WRA 2023 Irrevocable Trust, (iii) 300,000 shares to be held in the name of The Janet Alessi 2023 Irrevocable Trust, (iv) 300,000 shares to be held in the name of The Isabella Alessi 2023 Irrevocable Trust, and (v) 300,000 shares to be held in the name of The Kim Alessi Richter Irrevocable Trust. William Alessi’s spouse, Sonia Alessi, is the trustee of each of the preceding trusts, and Mr. Alessi is deemed to be the beneficial owner of shares held in the name of each of the trusts.

(4)      The shares held by Sponsor at Closing reflect the forfeiture and cancellation of 750,000 shares by the Sponsor at Closing, but include 750,000 shares that will be transferred to escrow upon the Closing (which will still be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Sponsor since it will retain voting power with respect to the shares transferred to escrow), which will be released to the Sponsor according to the same milestones and timelines applicable to the Alpha Modus Earnout Shares described above. The shares held by the Sponsor include 449,997 shares of Class B common stock that will be converted on a 1-for-1 basis into 449,997 shares of Class A common stock automatically upon the closing of the Business Combination, without any adjustment.

(5)      The Anchor Investors are not affiliated with the Sponsor. The shares held by the Anchor Investors include 450,003 shares of Class B common stock that will be converted on a 1-for-1 basis into 450,003 shares of Class A common stock automatically upon the closing of the Business Combination, without any adjustment.

(6)      Includes 210,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock that will be issued by IAC to Cantor at Closing, and 90,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock that will be issued by IAC to Odeon at Closing.

(7)      Includes 125,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock that will be issued by IAC to Mr. Singer at Closing, but does not include shares of IAC Class A common stock deemed to be owned by Mr. Singer as a result of his voting and dispositive power over the Sponsor (as such shares are included in the Sponsor’s ownership in the table).

(4)      Includes the 8,700,000 shares underlying IAC Private Placement Warrants, of which 7,500,000 shares are held by the Sponsor and 1,200,000 shares are held by the Underwriter.

See the section titled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for further information. All of the relative percentages above are for illustrative purposes only and are based upon certain assumptions as described in the section entitled “Basis of Presentation and Glossary — Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages” and, with respect to the determination of the “Assuming Maximum Redemptions Scenario” section. Additionally, the relative percentages above assume the Business Combination was consummated on March 31, 2024. Should one or more of the assumptions prove incorrect, actual ownership percentages may vary materially from those described in this proxy statement/prospectus as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or intended.

Q.     What are the effective underwriting fees under the various redemption scenarios?

A.     Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”), the representative of the underwriters in the IPO, were entitled to a deferred underwriting commission upon the closing of the Business Combination of $6,600,000, which amount was not subject to change based on redemption levels. On June 20, 2024, Cantor and Odeon Capital Group, LLC (“Odeon”) entered into fee modification agreements with IAC pursuant to which (i) Cantor will be issued 210,000 shares of IAC common stock and Odeon will be issued 90,000 shares of IAC common stock at the closing of the Business Combination, and (ii) Cantor and Odeon will waive the right to any further underwriting commissions or other payments by IAC under the Underwriting Agreement, subject to the other terms of those fee modification agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.18 and 10.19 hereto. The following illustrates the effective deferred underwriting fee on a percentage basis for public shares at each redemption level identified below:

Table of Contents

Q:     What conditions must be satisfied to complete the Business Combination?

A:     There are a number of closing conditions in the Business Combination Agreement, including the approval by the stockholders of IAC and the stockholders of Alpha Modus of the Business Combination Proposal, the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal, and the Nasdaq Proposal. The Amended and Restated Charter Proposal and the Nasdaq Proposal are subject to and conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal. For a summary of the conditions that must be satisfied or waived prior to the Closing of the Business Combination, see the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement” and “Summary of the Proxy statement/prospectus The Proposals — The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — Merger Closing Conditions.

Q:     Why is IAC providing stockholders with the opportunity to vote on the Business Combination?

A:     Under the IAC Charter, IAC must provide all holders of its Public Shares with the opportunity to have their Public Shares redeemed upon the consummation of IAC’s initial business combination either in conjunction with a tender offer or in conjunction with a stockholder vote. For business and other reasons, IAC has elected to provide its stockholders with the opportunity to have their Public Shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder vote rather than a tender offer. Therefore, IAC is seeking to obtain the approval of its stockholders of the Business Combination Proposal in order to allow its public stockholders to effectuate redemptions of their Public Shares in connection with the Closing of the Business Combination.

Q:     How many votes do I have at the IAC Special Meeting?

A:     IAC stockholders are entitled to one vote at the IAC Special Meeting for each share of IAC common stock held of record as of [•], 2024, the record date for the IAC Special Meeting (the “Record Date”). Holders of IAC Class A common stock and IAC Class B common stock will vote together as one class on all matters to be submitted to the stockholders. As of the close of business on the Record Date, there were [•] outstanding shares of IAC Class A common stock and [•] outstanding shares of IAC Class B common stock.

Q:     What vote is required to approve the proposals presented at the IAC Special Meeting?

A:     The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote of 65% the issued and outstanding shares of IAC common stock as of the Record Date. Accordingly, an IAC stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the IAC Special Meeting or an abstention will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal.

The approval of the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of IAC common stock as of the Record Date. Accordingly, an IAC stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the IAC Special Meeting or an abstention will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal.

The Sponsor and IAC’s directors and officers have agreed to vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination and the Merger, including the Business Combination Proposal and the other Proposals.

The approval of the Nasdaq Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal each require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of IAC common stock cast by the stockholders represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the IAC Special Meeting. An IAC stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the IAC Special Meeting will not be counted towards the number of shares of IAC common stock required to validly establish a quorum, and if a valid quorum is otherwise established, it will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Nasdaq Proposal and (if applicable) the Adjournment Proposal.

If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal and the Nasdaq Proposal will not be presented to the IAC stockholders for a vote. The approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal, and the Nasdaq Proposal are preconditions to the consummation of the Business Combination.

Q:     May the Sponsor or IAC’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates purchase shares in connection with the Business Combination?

A:     In connection with the stockholder vote to approve the proposed Business Combination, the Sponsor, directors, officers or advisors or their respective affiliates may privately negotiate transactions to purchase shares from stockholders who would have otherwise elected to have their shares redeemed in conjunction with a proxy

xv

Table of Contents

solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules for a per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. In the event that the Sponsor or IAC’s directors, officers or advisors or their respective affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions, such privately negotiated purchases will be effected subject to the following conditions (1) at purchase prices that are no higher than the price offered through IAC’s redemption process; (2) the securities purchased will not be voted in favor of approving the business combination transaction; (3) the purchaser of such securities will waive any redemption rights in connection with such purchased securities and (4) IAC will disclose in a Current Report on Form 8-K, prior to the IAC stockholder meeting to approve the business combination transaction, the following: (i) the amount of securities purchased outside of the redemption offer by the Sponsor or IAC’s directors, officers or advisors or their respective affiliates, along with the purchase price; (ii) the purpose of the purchases by the Sponsor or IAC’s directors, officers or advisors or their respective affiliates; (iii) the impact, if any, of the purchases by the Sponsor or IAC’s directors, officers or advisors or their respective affiliates on the likelihood that the business combination transaction will be approved; (iv) the identities of stockholders who sold to the Sponsor or IAC’s directors, officers or advisors or their respective affiliates (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of stockholders (e.g., 5% security holders) who sold to the Sponsor or IAC’s directors, officers or advisors or their respective affiliates Sponsor or IAC’s directors, officers or advisors or their respective affiliates; and (v) the number of securities for which the IAC has received redemption requests pursuant to its redemption offer.

The purpose of any such purchases of shares of Class A common stock could be to satisfy a closing condition in the Business Combination Agreement, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. If any such purchases are made, the public “float” of our shares of Class A common stock or public warrants may be reduced and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, which may make it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange. See Risk Factor — The Company and the Company’s Sponsor, directors, officers or advisors, or their affiliates, may purchase shares in connection with the Transactions, which may reduce the Company’s public “float” of its common stock and the number of beneficial holders that could adversely affect the Company’s ability to qualify for Nasdaq’s listing standards.

Q:     What constitutes a quorum at the IAC Special Meeting?

A:     Holders of a majority in voting power of IAC common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the IAC Special Meeting constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the chairman of the meeting has power to adjourn the IAC Special Meeting. As of the Record Date,              shares of IAC common stock would be required to achieve a quorum.

Q:     How will the Sponsor of IAC vote?

A:     The Sponsor entered into a Stockholder Support Agreement, pursuant to which it agreed to vote all of its IAC common stock in favor of the Business Combination, including each of the Proposals. Accordingly, if IAC seeks stockholder approval of its initial business combination, the necessary stockholder approval will be received since the Sponsor holds shares of our common stock representing more than 65% of our common stock.

Q:     What interests do IAC’s Sponsor and current officers and directors have in the Business Combination?

A:     [•] will be IAC’s designee to the New IAC Board upon the effectiveness of the Business Combination. As a director, in the future [•] may receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the New IAC Board determines to pay to its directors. Additionally, Michael Singer, IAC’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, will be issued 125,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock at Closing of the Business Combination as consideration for his and Sponsor’s waiving of certain fees owed by IAC to them prior to Closing. Except as set forth above, none of the Sponsor or current officers or directors of IAC will receive any interest in the Business Combination other than the interests they owned prior to the Business Combination. The interests of members of the Sponsor or current officers or directors of IAC may be different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) your interests and may be incentivized to complete a less favorable business combination rather than liquidating IAC. These interests include:

        unless IAC consummates an initial business combination, IAC’s officers, directors and the Sponsor will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount of available proceeds not deposited in the Trust Account (as of [•], 2024, IAC’s officers and directors have incurred approximately [•] of out-of-pocket expenses);

        as a condition to the IAC IPO, pursuant to the letter agreements, the Sponsor’s and Anchor Investors’ Founder Shares became subject to a lock-up (the “Founder Share Lock-Up”) whereby, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Founder Shares are not transferable or salable (i) in the case of the Founder Shares until the earlier of (A) six months after the completion of our initial business combination or (B) subsequent to our initial business combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the IAC Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 60 days after our initial business combination, or (y) the date on which IAC completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of IAC’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property, and (ii) in the case of the private placement warrants and any shares of IAC Class A common stock issued upon exercise thereof, until 30 days after the completion of IAC’s initial business combination (while the Founder Shares are not the same as the IAC Class A common stock, are subject to certain restrictions that are not applicable to the IAC Class A common stock, and may become worthless if IAC does not complete a business combination by July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent), the aggregate value of the 6,000,000 Founder Shares owned by the Sponsor and the Anchor Investors are estimated to be approximately $___ million, assuming the per share value of the Founder Shares is the same as the $___ closing price of the IAC Class A common stock on Nasdaq as of June __, 2024). The Sponsor Lock Up Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2023, by and among IAC, Sponsor and Alpha Modus, see Exhibit 10.7 to this proxy statement/prospectus, modified the Founder Share Lock-Up to continue to and include the earlier of (i) the date that is 12 months after the Closing Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), or (ii) the date that the Closing Share Price (as defined in the Sponsor Lock Up Agreement) exceeds $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30-trading day period, the Sponsor agrees not to, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of eighty five percent (85%) of any shares of Common Stock held by the Sponsor as of the Effective Time, together with any (i) securities paid as dividends or distributions with respect to such securities or (ii) securities that are exchangeable or convertible into shares of Common Stock, owned directly by the Sponsor (including holding as a custodian) or with respect to which the Sponsor has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively, the “Covered Securities”; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, “Covered Securities” will not include an aggregate of fifteen percent (15%) of the shares of Common Stock owned by the Sponsor as of the Effective Time, which may be sold or otherwise transferred by the Sponsor without restriction pursuant to this Agreement);

        the Sponsor and the underwriters purchased an aggregate of 8,700,000 Private Placement Warrants, each exercisable for one share of our IAC Class A common stock at $11.50 per share, for a purchase price of $8,700,000, or $1.00 per warrant, in the Private Placement consummated simultaneously with the IAC IPO, which warrants will be worthless if a business combination is not consummated (although the Private Placement Warrants have certain rights that differ from the rights of holders of the Public Warrants, the aggregate value of the 7,500,000 Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor is estimated to be approximately $0.3 million, assuming the per warrant value of the Private Placement Warrants is the same as the $0.04 closing price of the Public Warrants on Nasdaq as of June 27, 2024);

        the Sponsor and the Anchor Investors have agreed that the Private Placement Warrants, and all of their underlying securities, will not be sold or transferred by it until 30 days after IAC has completed a business combination, subject to limited exceptions;

        the fact that the Sponsor purchased from IAC its 6,000,000 shares of IAC common stock for a purchase price of $25,000 and paid $1.00 per warrant to purchase the Private Placement Warrants (for an aggregate purchase price from IAC of $7,500,000) which will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination, if it is consummated, and, based on the closing trading price of the Class A common stock on June 27, 2024, which was $11.37, would have an aggregate value of $68.2 million as of the same date and including the purchase of the Private Placement Warrants and based on the closing trading price of the Public Warrants on June 27, 2024, which was $0.04, would have an aggregate value of $0.3 million. If IAC does not consummate the Business Combination or another initial business combination by July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent), and IAC is therefore required to be liquidated, these shares would be worthless, as Founder Shares are not entitled to participate in any redemption or liquidation of the Trust Account and the Sponsor would have

xvii

Table of Contents

lost out on approximately $68.5 million based on the above values of the Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants. Based on the difference in the effective purchase price of $0.0036 per share that the Sponsor paid for the Founder Shares, as compared to the purchase price of $10.00 per Unit sold in the IPO, the Sponsor may earn a positive rate of return even if the share price of New IAC after the Closing falls below the price initially paid for the Units in the IPO and the IAC public stockholders experience a negative rate of return following the Closing of the Business Combination;

        the fact that the Sponsor and the Anchor Investors have agreed not to redeem any of their Founder Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

        if IAC does not complete an initial business combination by July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent), a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be included in the liquidating distribution to IAC’s public stockholders and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless; and

        if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event IAC is unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor and Nautilus have agreed that they will be liable to IAC, on a pro rata basis based on the number of Founder Shares owned by them, if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to IAC, or a prospective target business with which IAC has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, if less than $[•] per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable from interest, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the trust account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under IAC’s indemnity of the underwriters of the initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

These interests may influence IAC’s directors in making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination.

Q:     What happens if I sell my shares of IAC Class A common stock before the IAC Special Meeting?

A:     The Record Date is earlier than the date of the IAC Special Meeting. If you transfer your shares of IAC Class A common stock after the Record Date, but before the IAC Special Meeting, unless the transferee obtains from you a proxy to vote those shares, you will retain your right to vote at the IAC Special Meeting. However, you will not be able to seek redemption of your shares because you will no longer be able to deliver them for cancellation upon consummation of the Business Combination in accordance with the provisions described herein. If you transfer your shares of IAC Class A common stock prior to the Record Date, you will have no right to vote those shares at the IAC Special Meeting.

Q:     What happens if a substantial number of the public stockholders vote in favor of the Business Combination and exercise their redemption right?

A:     IAC stockholders who vote in favor of the Business Combination may also nevertheless exercise their redemption rights. Accordingly, the Business Combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the Trust Account and the number of public stockholders are reduced as a result of redemptions by public stockholders. Even though there is no explicit minimum cash requirement in the Business Combination Agreement that IAC must meet in order for the parties to close the Business Combination, the consummation of the Business Combination is implicitly conditioned upon, among other things, IAC having sufficient cash to continue operations and being able to consummate the Business Combination. In addition, with fewer Public Shares and public stockholders, the trading market for the New IAC’s stock may be less liquid than the market for IAC common stock was prior to consummation of the Business Combination and New IAC may not be able to meet the listing standards for Nasdaq. In addition, with less funds available from the Trust Account, the working capital infusion from the Trust Account into Alpha Modus’ business will be reduced. As a result, the proceeds will be greater in the event that no public stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their public shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account as opposed to the scenario in which IAC’s public stockholders exercise the maximum allowed redemption rights.

xviii

Table of Contents

Q:     What happens if I vote against any of the Business Combination Proposal, the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal, or the Nasdaq Proposal?

A:     If any of the Required Proposals are not approved, the Business Combination is not consummated and IAC does not otherwise consummate an alternative business combination by July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent), pursuant to the IAC Charter, IAC will be required to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then-remaining funds in such account to the public stockholders.

Q:     Do I have redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination?

A:     Pursuant to the IAC Charter, holders of Public Shares may elect to have their shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share calculated in accordance with the IAC Charter. As of [•], based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $[•] million as of such date, the pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account for the redemption of public shares of IAC Class A common stock was approximately $[10.00] per share. If a holder exercises its redemption rights, then such holder will be exchanging its IAC Class A common stock for cash and will only have equity interests in New IAC pursuant to the exercise of its Public Warrants, to the extent it still holds Public Warrants. Such a holder will be entitled to receive cash for its Public Shares only if it properly demands redemption and delivers its shares (either physically or electronically) to IAC’s transfer agent prior to the IAC Special Meeting. See the section titled “IAC Special Meeting — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your shares for cash.

Q:     Will how I vote affect my ability to exercise redemption rights?

A:     No. You may exercise your redemption rights whether or not you attend or vote your shares of IAC common stock at the IAC Special Meeting and regardless of how you vote your shares. As a result, the Business Combination Agreement and the Required Proposals can be approved by stockholders who will redeem their shares and no longer remain stockholders, leaving stockholders who choose not to redeem their shares holding shares in a company with a potentially less liquid trading market, fewer stockholders, potentially less cash and the potential inability to meet the listing standards of Nasdaq.

Q:     How do I exercise my redemption rights?

A:     In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must, prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2024 (two (2) business days before the date of the IAC Special Meeting), tender your shares physically or electronically and submit a request in writing that IAC redeem your Public Shares for cash to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, IAC’s transfer agent, at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
One State Street Plaza, 30th Floor
New York, New York 10004
Attn: Mark Zimkind
E-mail: spacredemptions@continentalstock.com

Please also affirmatively certify in your request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company for redemption if you “ARE” or “ARE NOT” acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) with any other stockholder with respect to shares of IAC common stock. A holder of the Public Shares, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, which we refer to as the “15% threshold.” Accordingly, all Public Shares in excess of the 15% threshold beneficially owned by a public stockholder or group will not be redeemed for cash.

Stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent and time to effect delivery. It is IAC’s understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, IAC does not have any control over this process, and it may take longer than two weeks. Stockholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their bank, broker or other nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically.

Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with IAC’s consent, until the vote is taken with respect to the Business Combination. If you delivered your shares for redemption to IAC’s transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that IAC’s transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting IAC’s transfer agent at the phone number or address listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

Q:     What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?

A:     In the event that a U.S. holder elects to redeem its IAC Class A common stock for cash, the treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale or exchange of IAC Class A common stock under Section 302 of the Code or is treated as a distribution under Section 301 of the Code. Whether the redemption qualifies as a sale or exchange or is treated as a distribution will depend on the facts and circumstances of each particular U.S. holder at the time such U.S. holder exercises his, her, or its redemption rights. If the redemption qualifies as a sale or exchange of the IAC Class A common stock, the U.S. holder will be treated as recognizing capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the redemption and such U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the IAC Class A common stock surrendered in such redemption transaction. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for the common stock redeemed exceeds one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. See the section titled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Exercising Redemption Rights” for a more detailed discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of a U.S. holder electing to redeem its IAC Class A common stock for cash.

Q.     Is the Business Combination taxable to Alpha Modus’ stockholders?

A:     The material U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to Alpha Modus stockholders in respect of the Business Combination are discussed in more detail in the section titled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination to Holders of Alpha Modus Stock.” The discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences contained in this proxy statement/prospectus is intended to provide only a general discussion and is not a complete analysis or description of all of the U.S. federal income tax considerations that are applicable to you in respect of the Business Combination, nor does it address any tax considerations arising under U.S. state or local or non-U.S. tax laws.

Q:     If I am a warrantholder, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my Warrants?

A:     No. The holders of Warrants have no redemption rights with respect to Warrants.

Q:     If I am a Unit holder, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my Units?

A:     No. Holders of outstanding Units must separate the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares.

If you hold Units registered in your own name, you must deliver the certificate for such Units to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, with written instructions to separate such Units into Public Shares, and Public Warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit the mailing of the Public Share certificates back to you so that you may then exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the Public Shares from the Units. See “How do I exercise my redemption rights?” above. The address of Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company is listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

If a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee holds your units, you must instruct such nominee to separate your Units. Your nominee must send written instructions by facsimile to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent. Such written instructions must include the number of Units to be split and the nominee holding such Units. Your nominee must also initiate electronically, using The Depository Trust Company’s deposit withdrawal at custodian (“DWAC”) system, a withdrawal of the relevant units and a deposit of an equal number of Public Shares and Public Warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit your nominee to exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the Public Shares from the Units. While this is typically done electronically the same business day, you should allow at least one full business day to accomplish the separation. If you fail to cause your Public Shares to be separated in a timely manner, you will likely not be able to exercise your redemption rights.

Q:     Do I have appraisal rights if I object to the proposed Business Combination?

A:     No. There are no appraisal rights available to holders of IAC common stock in connection with the Business Combination.

Q:     What happens to the funds held in the Trust Account upon consummation of the Business Combination?

A:     If the Business Combination is consummated, the funds held in the Trust Account will be released to pay:

        IAC stockholders who properly exercise their redemption rights;

        certain other fees, costs and expenses (including regulatory fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printer fees, and other professional fees) that were incurred by IAC and Alpha Modus in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination and pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement; and

        IAC’s loan(s) from Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (expected to be approximately $975,000 at Closing), and Alpha Modus’ loans from Janbella Group, LLC (an affiliate of Mr. Alessi, Alpha Modus’ CEO and director) (expected to be approximately $1,400,000 at Closing).

Any remaining cash will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Combined Entity.

Q:     What happens if the Business Combination is not consummated?

A:     There are certain circumstances under which the Business Combination Agreement may be terminated. See the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — The Business Combination Agreement” for information regarding the parties’ specific termination rights.

If, as a result of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement or otherwise, IAC is unable to complete the Business Combination or another initial business combination transaction by July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent), IAC’s Charter provides that it will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to IAC’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

IAC expects that the amount of any distribution its public stockholders will be entitled to receive upon its dissolution will be approximately the same as the amount they would have received if they had redeemed their shares in connection with the Business Combination, subject in each case to IAC’s obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. Holders of Founder Shares have waived any right to any liquidation distribution with respect to those shares.

In the event of liquidation, there will be no liquidating distributions with respect to IAC’s outstanding Warrants. Accordingly, the Warrants will expire worthless.

Q:     When is the Business Combination expected to be completed?

A:     The Closing is expected to take place (i) as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than the third business day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described below under the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — Conditions to the Closing” or (ii) on such other date as agreed to by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement in writing, in each case, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the Closing conditions. The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated by either IAC or Alpha Modus if the Closing has not occurred by September 9, 2024, subject to certain exceptions.

For a description of the conditions to the completion of the Business Combination, see the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1)”.

Q:     What do I need to do now?

A:     You are urged to read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes, and to consider how the Business Combination will affect you as a stockholder. You should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement/prospectus and on the enclosed proxy card or, if you hold your shares through a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, on the voting instruction form provided by the broker, bank or nominee.

Q:     How do I vote?

A:     If you are a stockholder of record of IAC as of [•], 2024, the Record Date, you may submit your proxy before the IAC Special Meeting in any of the following ways, if available:

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

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

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

Stockholders who choose to participate in the IAC Special Meeting can vote their shares electronically during the meeting via live audio webcast by visiting https://www.[•]. You will need the control number that is printed on your proxy card to enter the IAC Special Meeting. IAC recommends that you log in at least 15 minutes before the meeting to ensure you are logged in when the IAC Special Meeting starts.

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

Q:     What will happen if I abstain from voting or fail to vote at the IAC Special Meeting?

A:     At the IAC Special Meeting, IAC will count a properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” with respect to a particular proposal as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal and Amended and Restated Charter Proposal. Abstentions will have no effect on the Nasdaq Proposal or Adjournment Proposal. Broker non-votes will not be counted as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum and will have no effect on any of the Proposals.

Q:     What will happen if I sign and return my proxy card without indicating how I wish to vote?

A:     Signed and dated proxies received by IAC without an indication of how the stockholder intends to vote on a proposal will be voted “FOR” each proposal presented to the stockholders. The proxyholders may use their discretion to vote on any other matters which properly come before the IAC Special Meeting.

Q:     If I am not going to attend the IAC Special Meeting in person, should I return my proxy card instead?

A:     Yes. Whether or not you plan to attend the IAC Special Meeting, please read the enclosed proxy statement/prospectus carefully, and vote your shares by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided.

Q:     If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?

A:     No. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non-routine matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee. IAC believes the proposals presented to the stockholders will be considered non-routine and therefore your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction on any of the proposals presented at the IAC Special Meeting. Your bank, broker or other nominee can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide.

Q:     May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

A:     Yes. If you are a holder of record of IAC common stock as of the close of business on the Record Date, whether you vote by mail, you can change your vote or revoke your proxy before it is voted at the IAC Special Meeting by sending a later-dated, signed proxy card to IAC’s secretary at the address listed below so that it is received by IAC’s secretary prior to the IAC Special Meeting or attend the IAC Special Meeting in person online and vote (although attending the IAC Special Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy). You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to IAC’s secretary, which must be received by IAC’s secretary prior to the IAC Special Meeting. If you are a beneficial owner of IAC common stock as of the close of business on the Record Date, you must follow the instructions of your broker, bank or other nominee to revoke or change your voting instructions.

Q:     What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

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

Q:     Who will solicit and pay the cost of soliciting proxies?

A:     IAC will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the IAC Special Meeting. IAC has engaged [•], which we refer to as “[•],” to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the IAC Special Meeting. IAC has agreed to pay [•] a fee of $[•], plus disbursements. IAC will reimburse [•] for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify Advantage and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses.

IAC’s directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies.

Its core technologies have been deployed on IBM’s Bluemix platform and earned a Beacon Award by IBM 2016 for Best New Application on IBM Cloud from an Entrepreneur. Alpha Modus has been recognized by IBM Watson as a thought leader in technology. As technological innovation is at the core of the company, Alpha Modus has developed comprehensive end-to-end patented solutions for retailers and consumer brands to bring innovation to consumers and enhance their experience at the point of sale.

On January 11, 2024, Alpha Modus entered into a license agreement with GZ6G Technologies Corp. (“GZ6G”), which gives GZ6G the right to use Alpha Modus’ patented intellectual property, and pertains to GZ6G’s promotional, advertising, and operational functions, including co-development arrangements with Alpha Modus for AI-driven advertising solutions for stadiums and event management. Alpha Modus intends to deploy services under the license by the end of 2024, expand event venue service offerings in late 2025, and expand service offerings in additional industries in 2024.

On January 16, 2024, Alpha Modus initiated a patent infringement action against The Kroger Company alleging patent infringement of several Alpha Modus patents encompassing retail marketing and advertising data-driven technologies to enhance consumer’s in-store experience at the point of decision.

        by either IAC or Alpha Modus if the Closing has not occurred by September 9, 2024, other than as a result of a breach by the party seeking termination;

The foregoing description of the Alpha Modus BCA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the actual Alpha Modus BCA, a copy of which is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 2.2 hereto.

On June 21, 2024, IAC, Alpha Modus and Merger Sub entered into an amendment to the Alpha Modus BCA (the “BCA Amendment”). The BCA Amendment (i) provides that each share of Alpha Modus’ 6,145,000 shares common stock outstanding prior to the business combination will be exchanged for the right to receive 1 share of IAC Class A common stock, and a contingent right to receive a pro rata portion of the 2,200,000 earnout shares; (ii) provides that each share of Alpha Modus’ 7,500,000 shares Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding prior to the business combination will be exchanged for the right to receive 1 share of IAC Series C Preferred Stock (having substantially the same rights as the Alpha Modus Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock), and a contingent right to receive a pro rata portion of the 2,200,000 earnout shares; (iii) eliminates the closing condition that the combined company is obligated to pay off Polar’s indebtedness (up to a maximum of $1,000,000) and Janbella Group, LLC’s (“Janbella”) indebtedness (up to a maximum of $1,000,000) at closing of the business combination; (iv) eliminates the combined company’s obligation to issue each of Polar and Janbella at closing a number of shares of common stock equal to the amount of indebtedness paid off divided by $1.00; (v) requires the combined company to

issue the following shares of common stock at closing: (a) 1,392,308 shares to Janbella, (b) 210,000 shares to Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., (c) 90,000 shares to Odeon Group, LLC, and (d) 125,000 shares to Michael Singer; and (vi) extends the “Outside Date” (the date by which the business combination must occur, after which either the Company or Alpha Modus may terminate the AM BCA by providing written notice to the other) to September 9, 2024, from June 7, 2024.

The foregoing description of the BCA Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the actual BCA Amendment, a copy of which is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 2.3 hereto.

Interests of Alpha Modus’ and IAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of our board of directors in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals, you should keep in mind that the directors and executive officers of IAC and of Alpha Modus have interests in the Business Combination and other proposals that may be different from, or in addition to, those of IAC stockholders and warrantholders generally. These interests include, among other things, that (i) Alpha Modus’ directors and officers will become directors and officers of New IAC upon the consummation of the Business Combination, (ii) Alpha Modus’ officers have entered into employment arrangements that will become effective upon consummation of the Business Combination and which provide for payment of compensation to the officers once they become effective (which compensation would not otherwise be paid to the officers if the Business Combination were not consummated), and (iii) loans in the approximate amount of $1,400,000 by Janbella Group, LLC, which is an affiliate of William Alessi, Alpha Modus’ CEO and sole director, may be paid off upon consummation of the Business Combination, and (iv) New IAC will issue to Janbella Group, LLC, 1,392,308 shares of New IAC common stock.

Please see the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — Interests of Alpha Modus’ Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” and “The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — Interests of IAC Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” of this proxy statement/prospectus for a further discussion of this and other risks.

Classified Board of Directors

New IAC’s board of directors will consist of five members upon the closing of the Business Combination. In accordance with the Amended and Restated Charter to be filed, immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, the board of directors will be divided into three classes designated Class A, Class B and Class C. Each class shall consist, as nearly as may be possible, of one-third (1/3) of the total number of directors constituting the

5

Table of Contents

entire Board of Directors. Each director shall serve for a term ending on the date of the third annual meeting of stockholders following the annual meeting of stockholders at which such director was elected; provided that each director initially assigned to Class A shall serve for a term expiring at IAC’s first annual meeting of stockholders held after the Effective Time; each director initially assigned to Class B shall serve for a term expiring at IAC’s second annual meeting of stockholders held after the Effective Time; and each director initially assigned to Class C shall serve for a term expiring at IAC’s third annual meeting of stockholders held after the Effective Time. Directors will not be able to be removed during their term except for cause. The directors will be divided among the three classes as follows:

        Class A, which we anticipate will consist of Scott Wattenberg, whose term will expire at the first annual meeting of stockholders to be held after the consummation of the Business Combination;

        Class B, which we anticipate will consist of [•] and Michael Garel, whose terms will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders to be held after the consummation of the Business Combination; and

        Class C, which we anticipate will consist of William Alessi and Gregory Richter, whose terms will expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders to be held after the consummation of the Business Combination.

New IAC expects that any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. The division of the board of directors into three classes with staggered terms may delay or prevent a change of our management or a change in control.

Recommendation of the IAC Board and Reasons for the Business Combination

The IAC Board, in evaluating the Business Combination, consulted with IAC management and its legal advisors. The IAC Board (i) approved entering into the Business Combination Agreement and Related Ancillary Agreements, which provides for a business combination between IAC and Alpha Modus, (ii) resolved that based on the information received to date, entering into the Agreement is in the best interests of IAC and Merger Sub and their respective shareholders, (iii) resolved that the Ancillary Agreements are each authorized and approved in all respects, (iv) resolved that all actions previously taken by the Authorized Officer of IAC in the formation of Merger Sub as a wholly owned subsidiary of IAC are ratified, approved and confirmed in all respects, (v) resolved that the filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-4 by IAC covering the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended of the securities to be issued in the Business Combination is in all respects authorized and approved, (vi) resolved that the Chief Financial Officer of IAC is hereby designated to act on behalf of IAC as the agent for service to be named in the Registration Statement and that Loeb & Loeb LLP is authorized to receive notices and communications from the Commission in connection with the Registration Statement, (vii) resolved that each Authorized Officer of IAC be, and each of them with full power to act without the others is, authorized to file a pre-merger notification under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and each Authorized Officer of IAC is authorized by IAC to sign said notification and supply such information as may be requested by any reviewing authority in connection therewith, (viii) resolved that each Authorized Officer is authorized to execute and file with the Commission on behalf of IAC, and in connection with the listing of the Shares on NASDAQ, a Form 8-A Registration Statement for the registration of the Shares under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, together with appropriate exhibits, financial schedules and other necessary or supporting related documents, all as such officers shall deem to be necessary or appropriate and (ix) resolved all actions taken and any documents or agreements executed, signed or delivered prior to or after the date hereof by any Authorized Officer or director of IAC or Merger Sub in connection with the Business Combination or the matters contemplated hereby be and are approved, ratified and confirmed in all respects.

The IAC Board considered and evaluated a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed below. In light of the number and wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination, the IAC Board did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that it considered in reaching its determination and supporting its decision. The IAC Board viewed its decision as being based on all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by it. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. This explanation of the IAC Board’s reasons for the Business Combination and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” herein.

Table of Contents

The IAC Board considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors related to Alpha Modus’ business and prospects and related to the Business Combination including, but not limited to, the following:

Redemption risk.    The potential that a significant number of IAC stockholders elect to redeem their shares of IAC Class A Common Stock prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and pursuant to the Current Charter, which would reduce the gross proceeds to Alpha Modus from the Business Combination, which could hinder Alpha Modus’ ability to continue its development.

Unsuccessful Patent Litigation.    There is no assurance that Alpha Modus will be successful in its patent litigation. Failure to prevail in patent litigation would meaningfully negatively impact future revenues.

Pre-Revenue.    Alpha Modus today has not yet generated revenues and needs to demonstrate a future ability to produce revenues.

Going Concern.    Although Alpha Modus’ audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, were prepared under the assumption that it would continue operations as a going concern, the report of its independent registered public accounting firm that accompanies its financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, contains a going concern qualification in which such firm expressed substantial doubt about Alpha Modus’ ability to continue as a going concern, based on its financial statements and results at that time, including its recurring losses from operations and net capital deficiency. At the time the IAC Board approved the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the IAC Board was not aware of the going concern opinion disclosed on Alpha Mondus’ audited financial statement for the year ended December 31, 2022. However, the IAC Board was aware that Alpha Modus did not have any revenues and that William Alessi, its CEO and majority shareholder, was funding the operations of Alpha Modus. The IAC Board approved the Business Combination Agreement despite the poor financial condition of Alpha Modus, because Alpha Modus did not require much money to maintain operations and the future success of Alpha Modus depended upon its ability to license its technology and the revenues to be generated from the prosecution of claims of patent infringement against numerous retailers.

Value of the Patent Portfolio could be worth substantially less than the Company believes.    While the Company believes its patent portfolio has meaningful value in terms of licensing potential, the Company may fail to realize this value potential with potential licensees.

Management team has no prior Experience Managing a Public Company and is a lean team.    While the management team has had prior success, it has not managed a public company. Also the Company plans to maintain a lean team of 6 – 10 professionals since it is relying on a licensing strategy which does not require significant numbers of personnel.

The Company has Limited to Little Cash on the Balance Sheet.    The Company has a low cash balance as of September 30, 2023 and is reliant in the near term on funding from its CEO. The Company will require additional capital to be able to pay for transaction expenses and to fund its future operations.

Exclusivity.    The fact that the Business Combination Agreement includes an exclusivity provision that prohibits IAC from soliciting other business combination proposals, which restricts IAC’s ability, so long as the Business Combination Agreement is in effect, to consider other potential business combinations.

Stockholder vote.    The risk that holders of IAC Class A Common Stock may not approve the Business Combination Proposal, thus preventing the consummation of the Business Combination.

Macroeconomic risks.    The risk that the future financial performance of the Alpha Modus may not meet the IAC Board’s expectations due to factors in Alpha Modus’ control or out of its control, including economic cycles or other macroeconomic factors.

Closing conditions.    The fact that completion of the Business Combination is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not within Alpha Modus’ control, including approval by IAC stockholders and IAC’s continued listing on a national securities exchange.

Litigation challenging the Business Combination.    The possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the Business Combination.

Table of Contents

Fees and expenses.    The expected fees and expenses associated with the Business Combination, some of which would be payable regardless of whether the Business Combination is ultimately consummated. IAC signed a loan agreement with Polar Asset Management for up to $975,000 to pay for IAC’s working capital and expenses prior to closing. Alpha Modus is taking the lead on legal documents and other work required including the S-4 and registration and proxy expenses which will help reduce IAC’s expenses.

Interests of certain persons.    The Sponsor, the members of the IAC’s Board and executive officers of IAC and the Sponsor have interests in the Business Combination Proposal, the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus and the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of IAC stockholders generally. The IAC Board reviewed and considered these interests during the negotiation of the Business Combination Agreement and in evaluating and unanimously approving, as members of the IAC Board, the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, including the Business Combination. See “Interests of the Sponsor and IAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination. Since the Sponsor and IAC’s officers and directors who are members of the Sponsor have interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of the public stockholders, a conflict of interest may have existed in determining whether the Business Combination with Alpha Modus is appropriate as a business combination. Such interests include that the Sponsor will lose its entire investment in us if our business combination is not completed.”

Other risks.    The various risks associated with the Business Combination, the business of Alpha Modus and the business of IAC, as described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” of this proxy statement/prospectus. This includes that Alpha Modus currently has no revenues and faces uncertainties in future revenues both in timing and amounts.

The IAC Board considered a number of factors pertaining to Alpha Modus and the Business Combination as generally supporting its decision to enter into the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including, but not limited to, the following material factors:

Portfolio of consumer retail, artificial intelligence patents.    Alpha Modus’ portfolio of six patents with two additional patents pending cover systems for monitoring and analyzing consumer purchasing behavior in real-time to drive sales via engaging digital customer experiences. The patents cover a variety of advertising features, including the presentation and display of relevant and targeted advertising that is based on users/customers shopping habits, search history or other criteria. This can include a retail store system that features user eye tracking, object identification of goods on shelves and open, MAC address tracking, customer engagement with interactive output displays with demographic intelligence, panels throughout store at product, automated customer assistance at shelf and customer purchase at shelf. Alpha Modus uses Artificial Intelligence as part of its technology to quickly track consumer behavior in the store and uses this AI technology to quickly offer consumers in-store digital offerings.

Potential judgements against large, well-branded retailers.    Alpha Modus estimates potential for $300 million in damages from initial patent infringement cases and over $1 billion in estimated damages over the life of the patents currently owned. In preparation for and in connection with its patent litigation efforts, Alpha Modus internally commissioned a confidential patent infringement damages assessment from a third-party patent infringement damages expert, and Alpha Modus then provided IAC management with the conclusions of that expert as Alpha Modus’s own estimates of potential patent infringement damages. The Board is not aware of the assumptions underlying the damages estimates, and the estimates cover a lengthy forecast period. Patent infringement litigation is inherently risky and expensive, it is difficult to predict the outcomes of patent litigation, and the outcomes of patent infringement litigation efforts may be unfavorable to Alpha Modus. Although the Board considered Alpha Modus’s estimates to be reasonable in light of the nature of the technology underlying Alpha Modus’ patent portfolio and the use of similar technology in the retail industry, the Board did not perform any further analysis of the estimates, and the estimates may not be reliable.

Long-life Patents.    Alpha Modus’ patents have a long life before they expire. Alpha Modus’ first patent does not expire until July 2034 and its final patent expires in May 2037.

Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) is an attractive market sector.    The Board considers AI to be a very attractive sector with opportunities for substantial disruption and very high growth rates.

Table of Contents

Management alignment with shareholders’ interests and an experienced team.    Alpha Modus led by CEO William Alessi was the first FinTech use case by IBM Watson, and Alpha Modus received the prestigious IBM Beacon Award. Mr. Alessi is expected to own in excess of 65% of the combined company after the consummation of the business combination which aligns his interest with all other shareholders. Mr. Alessi has decades of experience in the public financial markets and in the global technology solutions space.

Large addressable TAM.    The total addressable market (“TAM”) for AI solutions in the consumer retail space is estimated at $40 billion according to Insider Intelligence.

Growth opportunities.    Alpha Modus believes and has plans for significant growth of its patent portfolio, licensing agreements and developing proprietary artificial intelligence product offerings organically and via acquisitions.

Represented by an experienced patent litigation law firm working on contingency.    Alpha Modus’ patent litigation law firm is Dickinson Wright and has represented Alpha Modus for many years on a contingency basis demonstrating their confidence in winning cases. It also provides for a variable cost structure related to a large potential expense category for Alpha Modus.

Negotiated transaction.    The financial and other terms of the Business Combination Agreement were the product of arm’s length negotiations between representatives of the Sponsor and Alpha Modus without an auction process. IAC Management had numerous conversations with William Alessi related to the strength of Alpha Modus’ artificial intelligence patents for retailers and its ability to license to the patents. William Alessi also informed IAC Management that numerous retailers were currently infringing on Alpha Modus’ patents and that such retailers would be liable to Alpha Modus for infringing on its patents. Mr. Alessi informed IAC Management that a top patent infringement law firm was willing to represent Alpha Modus to prosecute a major retail chain for infringing on Alpha Modus’ patents. Mr. Alessi told IAC Management that Alpha Modus estimates the potential of $300 million in damages from initial patent infringement cases concerning Alpha Modus’ current patents and over $1 billion in estimated damages over the life of its patents currently owned. The IAC Board is not aware of the assumptions underlying the damages estimates, and the estimates cover a lengthy forecast period. Patent infringement litigation is inherently risky and expensive, it is difficult to predict the outcomes of patent litigation, and the outcomes of patent infringement litigation efforts may be unfavorable to Alpha Modus. Although the IAC Board considered Alpha Modus’s estimates to be reasonable in light of the nature of the technology underlying Alpha Modus’ patent portfolio and the use of similar technology in the retail industry, the IAC Board did not perform any further analysis of the estimates, and the estimates may not be reliable.

Based on the long life of Alpha Modus’ patents, which do not expire until 2034 and 2037, the future potential licensing revenue agreements and the future potential damages recoverable in the patent infringement cases, IAC Management concluded that the consideration of $110 million, payable through the issuance of 11 million shares of IAC Class common stock, is fair and reasonable. IAC Management explained and discussed with the IAC Board the basis of IAC Management’s belief that the consideration of $110 million for Alpha Modus is fair and reasonable. The IAC Board acknowledged and accepted IAC Management’s conclusion and approved and authorized the execution of the BCA, because the IAC Board believed that the Business Combination was in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders.

Sponsor and IAC’s Directors and Officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different than and my conflict with the interests of IAC’s public stockholders.

In considering the recommendation of the IAC Board to vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination, stockholders should keep in mind that the Sponsor and IAC’s directors and executive officers have interests in such Proposals that are different from, or in addition to, those of IAC’s stockholders generally. In particular, Michael Singer, IAC’s Executive Chairman and CEO, will be issued 125,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock upon Closing of the Business Combination, and if the Business Combination with Alpha Modus or another business combination is not consummated by July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent), IAC will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding shares of IAC’s Class A Common Stock for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and the IAC’s Board, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the 6,000,000 shares of IAC Class A Common Stock held by the Sponsor and some portion held by IAC’s directors, officers and anchor investors which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to IAC’s initial public offering would become worthless.

Table of Contents

The Sponsor, which is affiliated with certain of IAC’s directors and officers, purchased 7,500,000 private warrants from IAC for an aggregate purchase price of $7,500,000 (or $1.00 per warrant) simultaneously with the consummation of IAC’s initial public offering. The private warrants will become worthless if IAC does not consummate a business combination by July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent).

The Sponsor and IAC’s officers and directors and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on IAC behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However, if IAC fails to consummate a business combination within the required period, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, IAC may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination with Alpha Modus or another business combination is not completed by July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent) (or such earlier date as determined by the IAC Board). As of [_________], 2024, the Record Date, the Sponsor and IAC Acquisition Corp officers and directors and their affiliates had incurred no unpaid reimbursable expenses.

The Business Combination Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of IAC current directors and officers and the continuation of directors and officers liability insurance covering IAC current directors and officers.

Conclusion

The IAC Board concluded that the potential benefits expected to be received by IAC and its stockholders as a result of the Business Combination outweighed the potentially negative factors and other risks associated with the Business Combination. Accordingly, the IAC Board unanimously resolved (a) that it was in the best interests of IAC and its stockholders, and that it was advisable, to enter into the Business Combination Agreement and the ancillary documents to which IAC is or will be a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Merger), (b) to adopt and approve the execution, delivery and performance by IAC of the Business Combination Agreement, the ancillary documents to which IAC is or will be a party and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Merger), (c) to recommend that the IAC stockholders entitled to vote thereon vote in favor of each of Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Advisory Charter Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal and (d) to direct that each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Advisory Charter Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal be submitted to the IAC stockholders for approval.

The foregoing discussion of material factors considered by the IAC Board is not intended to be exhaustive, but sets forth the principal factors considered by the directors.

Accounting Treatment

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Under this method of accounting, IAC will be treated as the “acquired” company and Alpha Modus will be treated as the “acquirer” for financial statement reporting purposes. See section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — Anticipated Accounting Treatment.”

No Delaware Appraisal Rights for IAC Stockholders

Appraisal rights are statutory rights under the DGCL that enable stockholders who object to certain extraordinary transactions to demand that the corporation pay such stockholders the fair value of their shares instead of receiving the consideration offered to stockholders in connection with the extraordinary transaction. However, appraisal rights are not available in all circumstances. Appraisal rights are not available to IAC stockholders or IAC warrantholders in connection with the Business Combination.

Impact of the Business Combination on IAC’s Public Float; Controlled Company

It is anticipated that, upon the completion of the Business Combination, IAC’s Public Stockholders will retain an ownership interest of approximately 3.8% of the outstanding capital stock of New IAC, the Sponsor will retain an aggregate ownership interest of approximately 33.3% of the outstanding capital stock of New IAC, the Anchor Investors will retain an aggregate ownership interest of approximately 4.9% of the outstanding capital stock of New IAC, the Alpha Modus stockholders and debt holder will own approximately 54.9% of the outstanding common stock of New IAC, and Alpha Modus’ CEO and majority shareholder, William Alessi, will be deemed to beneficially own in excess of 31.6% of the outstanding common stock of New IAC and 100% of the outstanding preferred stock of New IAC. The foregoing

10

Table of Contents

ownership percentages with respect to New IAC following the Business Combination excludes any outstanding Warrants and assumes that (i) there are no redemptions of any shares by IAC’s public stockholders in connection with the Business Combination, (ii) IAC does not engage in any kind of additional equity financing prior to the Closing, and (iii) no earnout shares are issued to the Alpha Modus stockholders or released to the Sponsor, as the applicable milestones relating thereto are not expected to be achieved within 60 days of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. If the actual facts are different than these assumptions (which they are likely to be), the percentage ownership retained by IAC’s existing stockholders in New IAC will be different.

Furthermore, William Alessi will be deemed to beneficially own in excess of 55% of New IAC’s voting stock. As a result of Mr. Alessi’s beneficial ownership of a majority of New IAC, New IAC will be “controlled company” under Nasdaq corporate governance rules eligible for certain exemptions from these rules, though New IAC does not intend to rely on those exemptions. See “Risk Factors — We will be a ‘controlled company’ within the meaning of the listing rules of Nasdaq and, as a result, can rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that provide protection to shareholders of other companies.”

(1)      This table does not include the 12,000,000 shares underlying IAC Public Warrants, the 8,700,000 shares underlying IAC Private Placement Warrants, or the 2,200,000 Earnout Shares that may be issued to the stockholders of Alpha Modus upon meeting certain milestones. Additionally, the table does not include any shares of common stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock to be issued at Closing of the Business Combination, as the shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be issued at Closing are generally not convertible into IAC Class A common stock until 18 months following Closing. The table assumes that each share of IAC Class B common stock outstanding prior to Closing the Business Combination will be converted into IAC Class A common stock in accordance with the IAC Charter on a 1-for-1 basis. Although the IAC Charter provides for an anti-dilutive adjustment to the IAC Class B-to-IAC Class A common stock conversion ratio (to a ratio greater than 1-for-1) if the number of shares of IAC Class A common stock issued or deemed issued in connection with the Business Combination is in excess of the number of shares of IAC Class A common stock originally issued in the IAC IPO, that anti-dilutive adjustment will not be triggered at the Closing since less than 24,000,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock (the number of shares of IAC Class A common stock issued in the IAC IPO) will be issued in connection with the Business Combination.

(2)      Includes 1,392,308 shares of IAC Class A common stock that will be issued by IAC to Janbella at Closing and 6,145,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock that will be issued by IAC to Alpha Modus’ stockholders in the Business Combination as Merger Consideration.

13

Table of Contents

        The Amended and Restated Charter Proposal. The form of Amended and Restated Charter to become effective upon consummation of the Business Combination is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B.

        The Nasdaq Proposal.

        The Adjournment Proposal, if presented at the IAC Special Meeting.

Voting Power and Record Date

You will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the IAC Special Meeting if you owned shares of IAC common stock at the close of business on [•], 2024, which is the Record Date. You are entitled to one vote for each share of IAC common stock that you owned as of the close of business on the Record Date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. On the Record Date, there were [•] shares of IAC common stock outstanding, of which [•] are Public Shares, and [•] are Founder Shares held by the Sponsor and the Anchor Investors.

Vote of the Sponsor, Anchor Investors, Directors and Officers

In connection with the IAC IPO, IAC entered into agreements with its officers and directors pursuant to which each agreed to vote any shares of IAC common stock owned by it in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and for all other proposals presented at the IAC Special Meeting. These agreements apply to the Sponsor and the Anchor Investors as it relates to their Founder Shares and the requirement to vote such shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and for all other proposals presented to IAC stockholders in this proxy statement/prospectus. Nevertheless, we will need approval of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of IAC Class A common stock to be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and Amended and Restated Charter Proposal in order to have the Business Combination approved.

Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, Alpha Modus and IAC and IAC’s Sponsor entered into a Stockholder Support Agreement (the “IAC Stockholder Support Agreement”). Pursuant the IAC Stockholder Support Agreement, the Sponsor thereto agreed, among other things, to vote their shares of IAC common stock in favor of the adoption an approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions.

The Sponsor has waived any redemption rights, including with respect to shares of IAC Class A common stock issued or purchased in the IAC IPO or in the aftermarket, in connection with Business Combination. The Sponsor did not receive any payment or other consideration for waiving redemption rights with respect to shares of IAC Class A common stock issued or purchased in the IAC IPO or in the aftermarket, in connection with Business Combination. The Founder Shares held by the Sponsor have no redemption rights upon IAC’s liquidation and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by IAC by July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent), and such deadline may be extended by amendment to IAC’s organizational documents).

Quorum and Required Vote for Stockholder Proposals

A quorum of IAC stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the IAC Special Meeting if a majority of the IAC common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the IAC Special Meeting is represented in person or by proxy at the IAC Special Meeting. Abstentions will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. Broker non-votes will not be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum.

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote (in person online or by proxy) of 65% of the issued and outstanding shares of IAC common stock as of the Record Date. Accordingly, an IAC stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the IAC Special Meeting or an abstention will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal.

The approval of the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal requires the affirmative vote (in person online or by proxy) of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of IAC common stock and a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of IAC Class A common stock as of the Record Date. Accordingly, an IAC stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the IAC Special Meeting or an abstention will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal.

14

Table of Contents

The approval of the Nasdaq Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal each require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of IAC common stock cast by the stockholders represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the IAC Special Meeting. An IAC stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the IAC Special Meeting or an abstention will not be counted towards the number of shares of IAC common stock required to validly establish a quorum, and if a valid quorum is otherwise established, it will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Nasdaq Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.

The Amended and Restated Charter Proposal and the Nasdaq Proposal are conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal (and the Business Combination Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal and the Nasdaq Proposal), and unless the Business Combination Proposal is approved, the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal and the Nasdaq Proposal will not be presented to the stockholders of IAC at the IAC Special Meeting. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on any other Proposal and does not require the approval of any other Proposal to be effective. It is important for you to note that in the event the Business Combination Proposal, the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal, and the Nasdaq Proposal do not receive the requisite vote for approval, then IAC will not consummate the Business Combination. If IAC does not consummate the Business Combination and fails to complete an initial business combination by July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent), it will be required to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then-remaining funds in such account to its public stockholders, unless it seeks and obtains the approval of IAC stockholders to amend the IAC Charter to extend such date.

In accordance with the IAC Support Agreement entered into concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor has agreed to vote all 4,875,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock and 449,997 shares of IAC Class B common stock (or 81.7% of the outstanding shares of IAC common stock) in favor of each of the Proposals, subject to certain customary conditions. Assuming all of the outstanding shares of IAC common stock vote on each Proposal and that the Sponsor votes all of its shares in favor of each of the Proposals, each of the Proposals would not require the affirmative vote of any additional shares of IAC common stock in order to be approved.

For more information about these proposals, see the sections of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The IAC Special Meeting — Quorum and Required Vote for Proposals.”

Proxy Solicitation

Proxies may be solicited by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. We have engaged [•] to assist in the solicitation of proxies. If a stockholder grants a proxy, it may still vote its shares in person if it revokes its proxy before the IAC Special Meeting. A stockholder may also change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy, as described in the section titled “IAC Special Meeting — Revoking Your Proxy.”

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the IAC Charter, any holders of Public Shares may demand that such shares be redeemed in exchange for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account, less franchise and income taxes payable, calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. If demand is properly made and the Business Combination is consummated, these shares, immediately prior to the Business Combination, will cease to be outstanding and will represent only the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account which holds the proceeds of the IAC IPO (calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to it to pay the Company’s franchise and income taxes). For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $[•] million on [•], the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $[•]. A public stockholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of Exchange Act) will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s shares, with respect to 15% or more of the shares of IAC common stock included in the units of IAC sold in the IAC IPO (including overallotment securities sold to IAC’s underwriters after the IAC IPO).

Table of Contents

In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must:

        prior to 5:00 PM Eastern Time on [•], 2024 (two (2) business days before the IAC Special Meeting), tender your shares physically or electronically and submit a request in writing that we redeem your public shares for cash to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, IAC’s transfer agent, at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
One State Street Plaza, 30th Floor
New York, New York 10004
Attn: Mark Zimkind
E-mail: spacredemptions@continentalstock.com

        In your request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company for redemption, you must also affirmatively certify if you “ARE” or “ARE NOT” acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) with any other stockholder with respect to shares of Common Stock; and

        deliver your Public Shares either physically or electronically through DTC to IAC’s transfer agent at least two (2) business days before the IAC Special Meeting. Stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent and time to effect delivery. It is IAC’s understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, IAC does not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two weeks. Stockholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their bank, broker or other nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically. If you do not submit a written request and deliver your public shares as described above, your shares will not be redeemed.

Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests (and submitting shares to the transfer agent) and thereafter, with IAC’s consent, until the vote is taken with respect to the Business Combination. If you delivered your shares for redemption to IAC’s transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that IAC’s transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting IAC’s transfer agent at the phone number or address listed above.

Prior to exercising redemption rights, stockholders should verify the market price of IAC common stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their Common Stock in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. We cannot assure you that you will be able to sell your shares of IAC common stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in IAC common stock when you wish to sell your shares.

If you exercise your redemption rights, your shares of IAC common stock will cease to be outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination and will only represent the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account. You will no longer own those shares and will have no right to participate in, or have any interest in, the future growth of the Combined Entity, if any. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly and timely demand redemption.

If the Business Combination is not consummated and IAC otherwise does not consummate an initial business combination by July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent) (such deadline may be extended by amendment to IAC’s organizational documents), IAC will be required to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then-remaining funds in such account to the public stockholders and the Warrants will expire worthless.

Appraisal Rights

IAC stockholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination or the other proposals.

Interests of IAC’s Sponsor, Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of IAC’s board of directors to vote in favor of approval of the Proposals, you should keep in mind that IAC directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may be different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) your interests as a stockholder and may be incentivized to complete a business combination that is less favorable to shareholders rather than liquidating IAC. These interests include, among other things:

        [•] will be IAC’s designee to the board of directors of New IAC upon the effectiveness of the Merger. As a director, in the future [•] may receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the board of directors of New IAC determines to pay to its directors;

        Michael Singer, IAC’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, will be issued 125,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock at Closing of the Business Combination;

        as a condition to the IAC IPO, pursuant to the letter agreements between the Sponsor and IAC, the Sponsor’s Founder Shares became subject to a lock-up (the “Founder Share Lock-Up”) whereby, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Founder Shares are not transferable or saleable (i) in the case of the founder shares until the earlier of (A) six months after the completion of our initial business combination, or (B) subsequent to our initial business combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the IAC Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 60 days after our initial business combination, or (y) the date on which IAC completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of IAC’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property, and (ii) in the case of the private placement warrants and any shares of IAC Class A common stock issued upon exercise thereof, until 30 days after the completion of IAC’s initial business combination (while the Founder Shares are not the same as the IAC Class A common stock, are subject to certain restrictions that are not applicable to the IAC Class A common stock, and may become worthless if IAC does not complete a business combination by July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent), the aggregate value of the 6,000,000 Founder Shares owned by IAC’s Sponsor and the Anchor Investors are estimated to be approximately $68.2 million, assuming the per share value of the Founder Shares is the same as the $11.37 closing price of the IAC Class A common stock on Nasdaq as of June 27, 2024). The Sponsor Lock Up Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2023, by and among IAC, Sponsor and Alpha Modus, see Exhibit 10.7 to this proxy statement/prospectus, modified the Founder Share Lock-Up to continue to and include the earlier of (i) the date that is 12 months after the Closing Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), or (ii) the date that the Closing Share Price (as defined in the Sponsor Lock Up Agreement) exceeds $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30-trading day period, the Sponsor agrees not to, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of eighty five percent (85%) of any shares of Common Stock held by the Sponsor as of the Effective Time, together with any (i) securities paid as dividends or distributions with respect to such securities or (ii) securities that are exchangeable or convertible into shares of Common Stock, owned directly by the Sponsor (including holding as a custodian) or with respect to which the Sponsor has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively, the “Covered Securities”; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, “Covered Securities” will not include an aggregate of fifteen percent (15%) of the shares of Common Stock owned by the Sponsor as of the Effective Time, which may be sold or otherwise transferred by the Sponsor without restriction pursuant to this Agreement);

        the Sponsor and the Underwriter purchased an aggregate of 8,700,000 warrants, each exercisable for one share of IAC Class A common stock at $11.50 per share, for a purchase price of $8,700,000, or $1.00 per warrant, in a private placement consummated simultaneously with the IAC IPO, which warrants will be worthless if a business combination is not consummated (although the warrants have certain rights that differ from the rights of holders of the Public Warrants, the aggregate value of the 7,500,000 private placement warrants held by the Sponsor is estimated to be approximately $0.3 million, assuming the per warrant value of the private placement warrants is the same as the $0.04 closing price of the Public Warrants on Nasdaq as of June 27, 2024);

        the Sponsor has agreed that the private placement warrants, and all of their underlying securities, will not be sold or transferred by it until 30 days after IAC has completed a business combination, subject to limited exceptions;

17

Table of Contents

        the fact that Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for its Founder Shares and such securities will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination;

        the fact that the Sponsor has agreed not to redeem any of their Founder Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

        if IAC does not complete an initial business combination by July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent), a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants will be included in the liquidating distribution to IAC’s public stockholders and the private placement warrants will expire worthless and the Sponsor would have lost out on approximately $68.5 million based on the above values of the Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants; and

        if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event IAC is unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor has agreed that they will be liable to IAC, on a pro rata basis based on the number of Founder Shares owned by them, if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to IAC, or a prospective target business with which IAC has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share, and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable from interest, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the trust account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable), nor will it apply to any claims under IAC’s indemnity of the underwriters of the initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Recommendation to IAC Stockholders

IAC’s board of directors believes that the Proposals to be presented at the IAC Special Meeting are in the best interests of IAC and its stockholders and unanimously recommends that IAC stockholders vote “FOR” the Proposals.

Conditions to the Closing of the Business Combination

The consummation of the Business Combination is subject to certain conditions, among others:

        approval by Alpha Modus’ stockholders of the approval and adoption of the Business Combination Agreement, the Merger, and all other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement;

        approval by IAC’s stockholders of the Business Combination Proposal, the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal, and the Nasdaq Proposal;

        the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act;

        the IAC Charter having been amended and restated by the Amended and Restated Charter;

SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information (the “Summary Pro Forma Information”) gives effect to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination and related transactions. The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, although IAC will acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of Alpha Modus in the Business Combination, IAC will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination will be reflected as the equivalent of Alpha Modus issuing shares for the net assets of IAC, followed by a recapitalization whereby no goodwill or other intangible assets are recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of Alpha Modus. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet data as of March 31, 2024, gives effect to the Business Combination and related transactions as if they had occurred on March 31, 2024. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations data for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and for the year ended December 31, 2023, give effect to the Business Combination and related transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2023, the beginning of the earliest periods presented.

The Summary Pro Forma Information has been derived from, should be read in conjunction with, the more detailed unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements” in this proxy statement/prospectus and the accompanying notes thereto. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical financial statements and related notes of IAC and Alpha Modus for the applicable periods included in this proxy statement/prospectus. The Summary Pro Forma Information has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the Post-Combination Company’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Business Combination and related transactions been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the Summary Pro Forma Information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the Post-Combination Company following the reverse recapitalization.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the assumptions below with respect to the potential redemption for cash of Public Shares:

        Assuming Minimum Redemptions Scenario:    This presentation assumes that no IAC Public Stockholders will exercise redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares for a pro rata share of the funds in the Trust Account.

        Assuming Maximum Redemptions Scenario:    This presentation assumes that 519,080 Public Shares are redeemed for aggregate redemption payments of $5.6 million, assuming a $10.71 per share redemption price. This scenario includes all adjustments contained in the “Assuming Minimum Redemptions Scenario” and presents additional adjustments to reflect the effect of the “Assuming Maximum Redemptions Scenario”.

Table of Contents

RISK FACTORS

The following risk factors will apply to the business and operations of New IAC following the Closing. These risk factors are not exhaustive and investors are encouraged to perform their own investigation with respect to the business, prospects, financial condition and operating results of Alpha Modus and New IAC’s business, prospects, financial condition and operating results following the completion of the Business Combination. You should carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to the other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus, including matters addressed in the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” before deciding how to vote your shares of IAC common stock. Please see the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” in this proxy statement/prospectus. The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in these risk factors, alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may adversely affect the ability to complete or realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, and may have a material adverse effect on the business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations of Alpha Modus and New IAC following the Business Combination. The risks discussed below may not prove to be exhaustive and are based on certain assumptions made by IAC and Alpha Modus that later may prove to be incorrect or incomplete. IAC and Alpha Modus may face additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known to IAC or Alpha Modus, or that IAC and Alpha Modus currently deem immaterial, which may also impair New IAC’s business, prospects, financial condition or operating results. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of Alpha Modus and the financial statements of IAC and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “Alpha Modus” in this section are to the business and operations of Alpha Modus prior to the Business Combination and the business and operations of New IAC as directly or indirectly affected by Alpha Modus by virtue of New IAC’s ownership of the business of Alpha Modus through its ownership of the surviving corporation following the Business Combination, and references to “we,” “us,” “our,” or similar words are references Alpha Modus, IAC, and New IAC as the context requires.

Risks Related to Alpha Modus’ Business and Industry

Alpha Modus had net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities in the past, and it may not achieve or sustain profitability.

Alpha Modus had a net loss of $501,295 and net cash used in operating activities of $515,181 in 2023, and a net loss of $27,403 and net cash used in operating activities of $27,403 in 2022. Alpha Modus cannot assure you that it will be able to generate net profit or positive cash flows from operating activities in the future. Its future revenue growth and profitability will depend on a variety of factors, many of which are beyond its control. These factors include effectiveness of its monetization strategy, its ability to control costs and expenses and to manage its growth effectively, market competition, and the macroeconomic and regulatory environment. Alpha Modus may fail to develop and improve its operational, financial and managerial controls, enhance its financial reporting systems and procedures, recruit, train and retain skilled professional personnel, or maintain customer satisfaction to effectively support and manage its future growth. If Alpha Modus invests substantial time and resources to expand its patent family but fails to manage the growth of its business and capitalize on its growth opportunities effectively, it may not be able to achieve profitability, and its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects would be materially and adversely affected.

If Alpha Modus is unable to continue as a going concern, its securities will have little or no value.

Although Alpha Modus’ audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, were prepared under the assumption that it would continue our operations as a going concern, the report of its independent registered public accounting firm that accompanies its financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, contains a going concern qualification in which such firm expressed substantial doubt about Alpha Modus’ ability to continue as a going concern, based on its financial statements and results at that time, including its recurring losses from operations and net capital deficiency.

Alpha Modus expects to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses in 2024. Alpha Modus’ prior losses and expected future losses have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on its financial condition. In addition, continued operations and Alpha Modus’ ability to continue as a going concern may be dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing in the near future and thereafter, and there are no assurances that such financing

27

Table of Contents

will be available to it at all or will be available in sufficient amounts or on reasonable terms. Alpha Modus’ financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If Alpha Modus is unable to generate sufficient additional funds in the future through operations, financings or from other sources or transactions, it will exhaust its resources and will be unable to continue operations. If it cannot continue as a going concern, its shareholders would likely lose most or all of their investment in it.

The artificial intelligence (AI) technology market in which Alpha Modus participates is competitive, and if it does not compete effectively, its business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed.

The AI market is competitive and rapidly evolving. The principal competitive factors in Alpha Modus’ market include research and development capabilities, industry know-how, continuous capital investment, product portfolio, among others. Many of Alpha Modus’ competitors have substantial competitive advantages, including larger scale, longer operating history, greater brand recognition, more established relationships with customers, suppliers and partners, and greater financial, research and development, marketing and other resources. As a result, Alpha Modus’ competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than Alpha Modus can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards or customer requirements. In addition, some competitors may offer products, solutions and services that address one or more number of functions with greater depth, application, or functionality greater than Alpha Modus’ solutions and technologies. Alpha Modus’ existing and potential competitors may develop and market new products, solutions and services with functionality comparable to it. If Alpha Modus is unable to compete successfully against its current or potential competitors, its business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially and adversely impacted.

If Alpha Modus fails to adapt and respond effectively to rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, changing regulations, and changing customer needs, requirements or preferences, its business may be materially and adversely affected.

The AI industry market is subject to rapid technological changes, evolving industry standards, regulations and customer needs, requirements and preferences. The success of Alpha Modus’ business will depend, in part, on its ability to adapt and respond to these changes on an effective and timely basis. If it fails to improve its technologies in a way that satisfies potential users or customers of intellectual property that keep pace with rapid technological and industry changes, its business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected. If new technologies emerge that are able to deliver competitive products, solutions and services at lower prices, more efficiently, more conveniently or more securely, such technologies could adversely impact Alpha Modus’ ability to compete effectively.

Issues arising in connection with the use of AI in the market generally may result in reputational harm or liability to Alpha Modus.

As with many disruptive innovations, AI presents risks and challenges that could affect its adoption, and therefore Alpha Modus’ business. AI algorithms may be flawed. Datasets may be insufficient or contain biased information. Inappropriate or controversial data practices could impair the acceptance of AI solutions. These deficiencies could undermine the decisions, predictions, or analysis AI applications produce, subjecting the providers of AI technologies generally, including Alpha Modus, to competitive harm, legal liability, and brand or reputational harm. Some AI scenarios present ethical or data privacy issues. If Alpha Modus enables or offers AI solutions that are controversial because of their impact on human rights, privacy, employment, or other social issues, it may experience brand or reputational harm.

Risks Related to Alpha Modus’ Intellectual Property

Alpha Modus may fail to obtain, maintain, and protect its intellectual property rights and proprietary information or prevent third parties from any unauthorized use of its technologies.

Alpha Modus’ trade secrets, trademarks, patents, and other intellectual property rights are critical to its success. Alpha Modus expects to rely on confidentiality agreements and non-compete agreements with third parties to protect its intellectual properties. However, events beyond its control may pose threats to its intellectual property rights and the integrity of its technologies and brand. Effective protection of Alpha Modus’ intellectual property rights is expensive and challenging. While Alpha Modus has taken measures to protect its intellectual property rights by filing patent applications, pursuing patent prosecution, and obtaining patents in the United States, such efforts are inadequate

28

Table of Contents

to guard against and prohibit potential infringement and misappropriation. In addition, Alpha Modus’ intellectual property rights may be declared invalid or unenforceable by the courts. Furthermore, Alpha Modus cannot assure you that any of its pending patent or other intellectual property rights applications will ultimately proceed to registration or will result in registration with adequate scope for its business. Some of Alpha Modus’ applications or registrations may be successfully challenged or invalidated by others. If Alpha Modus’ intellectual property rights applications are not successful, it may have to use different intellectual property rights for its affected technologies, or seek to enter into arrangements with any third parties who may have prior registrations, applications or rights, which might not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If Alpha Modus fails to protect or enforce its intellectual property rights, its competitors may use its technologies without authorization. As a result, future customers and partners could then devalue Alpha Modus’ technologies, and Alpha Modus’ ability to compete effectively may be impaired, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Alpha Modus will likely become subject to intellectual property disputes, which are typically costly and may subject us to significant liability and increased costs of business.

Alpha Modus competes in markets where there are a large number of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and other intellectual and proprietary rights, as well as disputes regarding infringement of these rights. Alpha Modus intends to enforce its patent rights by bringing legal claims against other parties, and its competitors and other third parties may, whether rightly or falsely, bring legal claims against it for infringing on their intellectual property rights. The intellectual property laws in the United States, which cover the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights, are evolving, and litigation is a popular means to resolve commercial disputes. Any intellectual property lawsuits against Alpha Modus, whether successful or not, may harm our brand and reputation.

Prosecuting and defending intellectual property claims is costly and can impose a significant burden on our management and resources. Any intellectual property litigation to which Alpha Modus becomes a party may require it to do one or more of the following:

        cease selling, licensing, or using products or features that incorporate the intellectual property rights that Alpha Modus allegedly infringes, misappropriates, or violates;

        make substantial payments for legal fees, settlement payments, or other costs or damages, including indemnification of third parties;

        obtain a license or enter into a royalty agreement, either of which may not be available on reasonable terms or at all, in order to obtain the right to sell or use the relevant intellectual property; or

        redesign the allegedly infringing products or services to avoid infringement, misappropriation, or violation, which could be costly, time-consuming, or impossible.

Further, there is no guarantee that Alpha Modus can obtain favorable judgment in its legal cases, in which case it may need to pay damages or be forced to cease using certain intellectual property that is critical to our technology or service offerings. Any resulting liabilities or expenses or required changes to technologies may have a material adverse effect on Alpha Modus’ business, results of operations, and prospects.

Alpha Modus’ intellectual property business is reliant on the strength of is patent portfolios and is subject to evolving legislation, regulations, and rules associated with patent law, which may adversely affect its business.

The success of Alpha Modus’ intellectual property business is heavily dependent on obtaining and enforcing patents. Patent acquisition and enforcement is costly, time-consuming, and inherently uncertain. Obtaining and enforcing patents across various industries, including the artificial intelligence industry, involves a high degree of technological and legal complexity. Alpha Modus’ patent rights may be affected by developments or uncertainty in U.S. or foreign patent statutes, patent case law, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) rules and regulations and the rules and regulations of foreign patent offices. In addition, the United States may, at any time, enact changes to U.S. patent law and regulations, including by legislation, by regulatory rulemaking, or by judicial precedent, that adversely affect the scope of patent protection available and weaken the rights of patent owners to obtain patents, enforce against patent infringement and obtain injunctions and/or damages. For example, over the past several years, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the Supreme Court issued various opinions, and the USPTO modified

29

Table of Contents

its guidance for practitioners on multiple occasions, either narrowing the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakening the rights of patent owners in certain situations. Other countries may likewise enact changes to their patent laws in ways that adversely diminish the scope of patent protection and weaken the rights of patent owners to obtain patents, enforce against patent infringement, and obtain injunctions and/or damages. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to Alpha Modus’ ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty with respect to the value of patents, once obtained. Alpha Modus cannot predict the breadth of claims that may be allowed or enforced in its patents or in third-party patents, and whether Congress or other foreign legislative bodies may pass patent reform legislation that is unfavorable to it, which may, in turn, affect the value of its patent assets.

Further, the United States and other governments may, at any time, enact changes to law and regulation that create new avenues for challenging the validity of issued patents. For example, the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (described in more detail in the following risk factor) created new administrative post-grant proceedings, including post-grant review, inter-partes review, and derivation proceedings that allow third parties to challenge the validity of issued patents. This applies to all of Alpha Modus’ patents. Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in U.S. federal courts necessary to invalidate a patent claim, a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same evidence would be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in a district court action. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to Alpha Modus’ ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty with respect to the value of patents, once obtained. Depending on decisions by the U.S. Congress, the federal courts, and the USPTO, the laws and regulations governing patents could change in unpredictable ways that could weaken Alpha Modus’ ability to obtain new patents or to enforce its existing patents and patents that it might obtain in the future.

Additionally, new rules regarding the burden of proof in patent enforcement actions could significantly increase the cost of Alpha Modus’ enforcement actions, and new standards or limitations on liability for patent infringement could negatively impact Alpha Modus’ revenue derived from such enforcement actions. In addition, recent federal court decisions have lowered the threshold for obtaining attorneys’ fees in patent infringement cases and increased the level of deference given to a district court’s fee-shifting determination. These decisions may make it easier for district courts to shift a prevailing party’s attorneys’ fees to a non-prevailing party if the district court believes that the case was weak or conducted in an abusive manner. As a result, defendants in patent infringement actions brought by non-practicing entities may elect not to settle because these decisions make it much easier for defendants to get attorneys’ fees.

Finally, it is difficult to predict the outcome of patent enforcement litigation at the trial level and outcomes can be unfavorable. It can be difficult to understand complex patented technologies, and as a result, this may lead to a higher rate of unfavorable litigation outcomes. Moreover, in the event of a favorable outcome, there is often a higher rate of successful appeals in patent enforcement litigation than more standard business litigation. Such appeals are expensive and time consuming, resulting in increased costs and a potential for delayed or foregone revenue opportunities in the event of modification or reversal of favorable outcomes. Although Alpha Modus plans to diligently pursue enforcement litigation, it cannot predict with reliability the decisions that may made by juries and trial courts.

Changes to patent laws in the United States and other jurisdictions could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing Alpha Modus’ ability to protect its product or its current or future product candidates.

Alpha Modus’ success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly patents. Obtaining and enforcing patents is costly, time consuming and inherently uncertain. Patent reform legislation in the United States and other countries, including the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (the “Leahy-Smith Act”), contributes to those uncertainties and costs. The Leahy-Smith Act includes a number of significant changes to U.S. patent law. These include provisions that have affected the way patent applications are prosecuted and have redefined prior art and provided more efficient and cost-effective avenues for competitors to challenge the validity of patents. In addition, the Leahy-Smith Act has transformed the U.S. patent system into a first-to-file system in which, assuming that other requirements of patentability are met, the first inventor to file a patent application will be entitled to the patent regardless of whether a third party was first to invent the claimed invention. A third party that has filed a patent application in the USPTO after March 2013 but before Alpha Modus could therefore be awarded a patent covering an invention of Alpha Modus even if Alpha Modus had made the invention before it was made by such third party. This requires Alpha Modus or its licensees to be cognizant of the time from invention to filing of a patent application. Furthermore, Alpha Modus’

30

Table of Contents

ability to obtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between its technology and the prior art allow its technology to be patentable over the prior art. Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing or until issuance, Alpha Modus cannot be certain that it was the first to either (i) file any patent application related to its product or product candidates, or (ii) invent any of the inventions claimed in its patents or patent applications. Even where Alpha Modus has a valid and enforceable patent, Alpha Modus or its licensees may not be able to exclude others from practicing the claimed invention where the other party can show that they used the invention in commerce before our filing date or the other party benefits from a compulsory license.

Among some of the other changes introduced by the Leahy-Smith Act are changes that (i) affect the way patent applications are prosecuted, (ii) redefine prior art, and (iii) provide more efficient and cost-effective avenues for competitors to challenge the validity of patents. These include changes that limit where a patentee may file a patent infringement suit and provide new opportunities for third parties to challenge issued patents in the USPTO. Alpha Modus or its licensees may be subject to the risk of third-party prior art submissions on pending applications or become a party to opposition, derivation, reexamination, inter partes review, post-grant review or interference proceedings challenging our patents. There is a lower standard of evidence necessary to invalidate a patent claim in a USPTO proceeding relative to the standard in U.S. district or federal court. This could lead third parties to challenge and successfully invalidate Alpha Modus or its licensees’ patents that would not otherwise be invalidated if challenged through the court system. Accordingly, a third party may attempt to use the USPTO procedures to invalidate Alpha Modus or its licensees’ patent claims that would not have been invalidated if first challenged by the third party as a defendant in a district court action. Thus, the Leahy-Smith Act and its implementation increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of Alpha Modus or its future licensees’ patent applications and the enforcement or defense of Alpha Modus’ issued patents, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Additionally, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled on several patent cases in recent years, either narrowing the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakening the rights of patent owners in certain situations. In addition, there have been recent proposals for additional changes to the patent laws of the United States and other countries that, if adopted, could impact Alpha Modus or its licensees’ ability to obtain or maintain patent protection for Alpha Modus or its out-licensed proprietary technology or Alpha Modus’ or its licensees’ ability to enforce Alpha Modus or its out-licensed proprietary technology, respectively. Depending on future actions by the U.S. Congress, the U.S. courts, the USPTO and the relevant law-making bodies in other countries, the laws and regulations governing patents could change in unpredictable ways that would weaken Alpha Modus’ ability to obtain new patents; enforce or shorten the term of Alpha Modus or its licensees’ existing patents and patents that might be obtained in the future; shorten the term that has been lengthened by patent term adjustment of existing patents or patents that Alpha Modus might obtain in the future; or challenge the validity or enforceability of Alpha Modus patents that may be asserted against Alpha Modus by competitors or other third parties. Any of these outcomes could have a material adverse effect on Alpha Modus’ business. For example, with respect to patent term adjustment, the Federal Circuit’s recent holding in In re Cellect, LLC, 81 F.4th 1216 (Fed. Cir. 2023), that obviousness-type double patent analysis for a patent that has received patent term adjustment must be based on the expiration date of the patent after the patent term adjustment has been added, may negatively impact the term of Alpha Modus’ patents.

Finally, Europe’s new Unitary Patent system and Unified Patent Court (the “UPC”) may present uncertainties for Alpha Modus’ ability to protect and enforce patent rights against competitors in Europe. In 2012, the European Patent Package (the “EU Patent Package”), regulations were passed with the goal of providing a single pan-European Unitary Patent system and a new UPC for litigation involving European patents. Implementation of the EU Patent Package occurred in June 2023. Under the UPC, all European patents, including those issued prior to ratification of the European Patent Package, will by default automatically fall under the jurisdiction of the UPC. The UPC will provide Alpha Modus’ competitors with a new forum to centrally revoke European patents and allow for the possibility of a competitor to obtain pan-European injunctions. It will be several years before Alpha Modus will understand the scope of patent rights that will be recognized and the strength of patent remedies that will be provided by the UPC. Under the EU Patent Package, Alpha Modus will have the right to opt patents out of the UPC over the first seven years of the court’s existence, but doing so may preclude Alpha Modus from realizing the benefits of the new unified court.

Patent litigation is inherently risky because courts may find Alpha Modus’ patents invalid, not infringed, or unenforceable, and the USPTO, or other relevant patent office, may either invalidate Alpha Modus’ patents or materially narrow the scope of their claims during the course of a reexamination, opposition or other such proceeding.

Patent litigation is inherently risky and may result in the invalidation of Alpha Modus’ patents, even if it is the plaintiff in an underlying action. It is difficult to predict the outcome of patent enforcement litigation at any level. Although Alpha Modus intends to diligently pursue enforcement litigation, it cannot predict with significant reliability the decisions made by juries and trial courts. At the trial level, it is often difficult for juries and trial judges to understand complex, patented technologies, and as a result, there is a higher rate of successful appeals in patent enforcement litigation than more standard business litigation.

The defendant to any case Alpha Modus brings may file as many appeals as allowed by right, including to District Court, the Federal Circuit and the Supreme Court. Such appeals are expensive and time-consuming, and the outcomes of such appeals are sometimes unpredictable, resulting in increased costs and reduced or delayed revenue which could have a material adverse effect on Alpha Modus’ results of operations and financial condition. These appeals may also result in the invalidation of Alpha Modus’ patents, which may have an adverse impact on Alpha Modus’ operations and financial performance.

The enforcement of Alpha Modus’ intellectual property rights depends in part upon its ability to retain the best legal counsel in order to achieve favorable outcomes from litigation, and Alpha Modus’ desired legal counsel may become conflicted out of such representation.

The success of Alpha Modus’ intellectual property enforcement efforts will depend in part upon its ability to retain the best legal counsel to coordinate its patent infringement litigation matters. As Alpha Modus’ intellectual property business evolves, Alpha Modus expects that it will become more difficult to find the best legal counsel to handle all of its patent enforcement matters due in part to potential conflicts of interest. This is because, from time to time, the counterparties to litigation matters have previously engaged world class law firms that are specialized in connection with the industries of the patents at issue in such matters. These previous engagements may have, or may in the future, result in these firms being conflicted out of representing us.

In addition, counterparties in Alpha Modus’ patent litigation matters may devote a substantial amount of resources to avoid or limit a finding that they are liable for infringing on Alpha Modus’ patents or, in the event liability is found, to avoid or limit the amount of associated damages. There is a risk these counterparties may file inter-partes reviews, reexaminations or other proceedings with the USPTO or other government agencies in the United States or abroad in an attempt to invalidate, narrow the scope or render unenforceable the patents Alpha Modus owns or controls. If this were to occur, it may have a significant negative impact on Alpha Modus’ intellectual property.

The inability to retain the best legal counsel to represent Alpha Modus in infringement actions may result in unfavorable or adverse outcomes, which may result in losses, exhaustion of financial resources or other adverse effects which could encumber Alpha Modus’ ability to effectively operate its business or execute its business strategy. Alpha Modus cannot provide any assurance that any prospective patent prosecution or litigation matters will result in a favorable outcome.

Alpha Modus may experience delays in successful prosecution, enforcement, and licensing of its patent portfolio.

The value of Alpha Modus’ patent portfolios is dependent upon the issuance of patents in a timely manner. More patent applications are filed each year. Alpha Modus believes this increase in patent applications has resulted in longer delays in obtaining approval of pending patent applications. If the USPTO experiences reductions in funding, it could have an adverse impact on the cost of processing pending patent applications and the value of those pending patent applications, negatively impacting the value of Alpha Modus’ patent applications. Further, reductions in funding from Congress could result in higher patent application filing and maintenance fees charged by the USPTO, causing an increase in Alpha Modus’ expenses. Application delays could cause delays in recognizing revenue from these patents and could cause Alpha Modus to miss opportunities to license patents before other competing technologies are developed or introduced into the market.

After prosecuting Alpha Modus’ patents, Alpha Modus’ intellectual property business can incur significant general and administrative and legal expenses prior to entering into license agreements and generating license revenues. Alpha Modus plans to spend considerable resources educating prospective licensees on the benefits of a license arrangement with it. As such, Alpha Modus may incur significant losses in any particular period before any associated revenue stream begins.

Alpha Modus believes that it will frequently be engaged in litigation to enforce its patents, protect its trade secrets, or determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Enforcement proceedings are typically protracted and complex. The costs are typically substantial, and the outcomes are unpredictable. Enforcement actions divert managerial, technical, legal and financial resources from business operations, and there are no assurances that such enforcement actions will result in favorable results for Alpha Modus.

Patent litigation schedules in general, and in particular trial dates, are subject to routine adjustment, and in most cases delay, as courts adjust their calendars or respond to requests from one or more parties. Trial dates often are rescheduled by the court for various reasons that are often unrelated to the underlying patent assets and typically for reasons that are beyond our control. As a result, to the extent such events are an indicator of possible future revenue opportunities for Alpha Modus, or other outcome determinative events, they may and often do change which can result in delay of the expected scheduled event. Any such delay could be significant and could affect the corresponding future revenue opportunities, thus adversely impacting Alpha Modus’ business, results of operations and financial condition.

Further, federal courts are becoming more crowded, and as a result, patent enforcement litigation is taking longer. Alpha Modus’ anticipated patent enforcement actions are expected to be almost exclusively prosecuted in federal court. Federal trial courts that hear patent enforcement actions also hear criminal cases. Criminal cases tend to take priority over patent enforcement actions. As a result, it is difficult to predict the length of time it will take to complete an enforcement action. Moreover, Alpha Modus believes there is a trend in increasing numbers of civil lawsuits and criminal proceedings before federal judges, and, as a result, it believes that the risk of delays in patent enforcement actions will have a greater negative effect on Alpha Modus’ business in the future unless this trend changes.

Because Alpha Modus’ patents are expected to expire in 2034-2037, its continued operations beyond those dates will depend on its ability to obtain additional patents with later expiration dates.

Alpha Modus’ current patents are expected to expire in 2034-2037. If Alpha Modus does not obtain patents or other intellectual property with expiration dates that extend beyond those years, its operations would be adversely affected.

Alpha Modus’ lack of patent enforcement and licensing experience could adversely affect its operations.

Alpha Modus has limited patent enforcement experience and cannot provide any assurance that it will be able to effectively manage patent enforcement efforts. Patent enforcement litigation is complex and needs to be closely and carefully managed. Because Alpha Modus does not have experience in managing patent enforcement efforts, it may not do so effectively, and its enforcement efforts could be harmed as a result. Similarly, Alpha Modus has limited experience managing intellectual property licensing programs, and this lack of experience could impair its ability to execute its business plans.

Alpha Modus may not be able to protect its intellectual property rights throughout the world.

Filing, prosecuting, and defending patents in all countries throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive, and intellectual property rights in some countries outside the United States could be less extensive than those in the United States. Alpha Modus may not choose, or be able, to obtain patent protection outside the United States. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as federal and state laws in the United States, even in jurisdictions where Alpha Modus does pursue patent protection. Consequently, Alpha Modus may not be able to prevent third parties from practicing its intellectual property in all countries outside the United States, even in jurisdictions where it does pursue patent protection.

33

Table of Contents

Competitors may use Alpha Modus’ technologies in jurisdictions where it has not pursued and obtained patent protection and, further, may export otherwise infringing products to territories where Alpha Modus has patent protection, but enforcement is not as strong as that in the United States. These products may compete with Alpha Modus’ technologies. Alpha Modus’ patents or other intellectual property rights may not be effective or sufficient to prevent them from competing.

Many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions. The legal systems of certain countries, particularly certain developing countries, do not favor the enforcement of patents, trade secrets, and other intellectual property protection, particularly those relating to technology products, which could make it difficult for Alpha Modus to stop infringement of its intellectual property. Proceedings to enforce patent rights in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial costs and divert Alpha Modus’ efforts and attention from other aspects of its business, could put its patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and patent applications at risk of not issuing, and could provoke third parties to assert claims against it. Alpha Modus may not prevail in any lawsuits that it initiates, and the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, may not be commercially meaningful. Accordingly, Alpha Modus’ efforts to enforce intellectual property rights around the world may be inadequate to obtain a significant commercial advantage from its intellectual property.

Many countries have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner may be compelled to grant licenses to third parties. In addition, many countries limit the enforceability of patents against government agencies or government contractors. In these countries, the patent owner may have limited remedies, which could materially diminish the value of such patent. If Alpha Modus is forced to grant a license to third parties with respect to any of its patents, its competitive position may be impaired, and its business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects may be adversely affected.

Risks Related to Being a Public Company

New IAC will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and its management will devote substantial time to compliance with its public company responsibilities and corporate governance practices.

If Alpha Modus completes the Business Combination and becomes a public company, it will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that it did not incur as a private company, and these expenses may increase even more after New IAC is no longer an emerging growth company, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act. As a public company, New IAC will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the Dodd-Frank Act, as well as rules adopted, and to be adopted, by the SEC and Nasdaq, and other applicable securities rules and regulations, which impose various requirements on public companies, including the establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and changes in corporate governance practices. Alpha Modus’ management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these public company requirements. Moreover, Alpha Modus expects these rules and regulations to substantially increase its legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. The increased costs will increase Alpha Modus’ net loss. Alpha Modus may need to hire additional legal, accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge and maintain an internal audit function.

In addition, changing laws, regulations, and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs, and making some activities more time consuming. These laws, regulations, and standards are subject to varying interpretations and may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. New IAC intends to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations, and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If New IAC’s efforts to comply with new laws, regulations, and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to their application and practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against Alpha Modus and its business may be adversely affected.

34

Table of Contents

The rules and regulations applicable to public companies make it more expensive for New IAC to obtain and maintain director and officer liability insurance, and New IAC may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for New IAC to attract and retain qualified members of its board of directors, particularly to serve on New IAC’s audit committee and compensation committee, and qualified executive officers.

Alpha Modus cannot predict or estimate the amount or timing of additional costs it may incur to respond to these requirements. The impact of these requirements could also make it more difficult for Alpha Modus to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on its board of directors, its board committees or as executive officers.

Alpha Modus’ management team has limited experience managing a Nasdaq-listed public company.

Alpha Modus’ management team has limited experience managing a Nasdaq-listed public company, interacting with public company investors and complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to exchange-listed public companies. Alpha Modus’ management team may not successfully or efficiently manage their new roles and responsibilities. Alpha Modus’ transition to being a public company subjects it to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under the federal securities laws and the continuous scrutiny of securities analysts and investors. These new obligations and constituents will require significant attention from Alpha Modus’ senior management and could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of Alpha Modus’ business, which could adversely affect Alpha Modus’ business, financial condition, and operating results.

Risks Related to IAC and the Business Combination

If the Business Combination is completed, New IAC will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the listing rules of Nasdaq and, as a result, can rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that provide protection to shareholders of other companies.

If the Business Combination is completed, Alpha Modus’ CEO, William Alessi, will be deemed to beneficially own or control in excess of 31.6% of New IAC’s common stock and 100% of New IAC’s preferred stock (equating to approximately 55.8% of the voting stock of New IAC in the aggregate). As a result, New IAC would be deemed to be a “controlled company” as defined under the listing rules of Nasdaq. Under Nasdaq listing rules, controlled companies are companies of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, a group, or another company. For as long as New IAC remains a controlled company, New IAC will be permitted to elect to rely on certain exemptions from Nasdaq’s corporate governance rules, including the following:

        an exemption from the rule that a majority of its board of directors must be independent directors;

        an exemption from the rule that its compensation committee be composed entirely of independent directors;

        an exemption from the rule that its director nominees must be selected or recommended solely by independent directors or a nominating committee composed solely of independent directors;

Although IAC and Alpha Modus do not currently intend for New IAC to rely on the “controlled company” exemptions to Nasdaq’s corporate governance rules, New IAC could elect to rely on these exemptions in the future. If it elected to rely on those “controlled company” exemptions, a majority of the members of New IAC’s board of directors might not be independent directors, its nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees might not consist entirely of independent directors, and you would not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of Nasdaq’s corporate governance rules.

The Business Combination may not be completed, and if an alternative business combination is not completed, you may suffer a material loss on your investment or lose the benefit of funds expected in connection with redemption of your IAC stock until IAC liquidates, consummates an alternative initial business combination, or takes certain other actions set forth in the IAC Charter, or you are able to sell your stock in the open market.

If IAC’s initial business combination with Alpha Modus is unsuccessful, you would not receive your pro rata portion of the Trust Account until IAC liquidates the Trust Account or consummates an alternative initial business combination or upon the occurrence of certain other corporate actions as set forth in the IAC Charter. If you are in

35

Table of Contents

need of immediate liquidity, you could attempt to sell your stock in the open market; however, at such time IAC’s stock may trade at a discount to the pro rata amount per share in the Trust Account or there may be limited market demand at such time. In either situation, you may suffer a material loss on your investment or lose the benefit of funds expected in connection with IAC’s redemption until IAC liquidates, consummates an alternative initial business combination, or takes certain other actions set forth in the IAC Charter or you are able to sell your stock in the open market.

IAC did not seek an opinion from an unaffiliated third party as to the fair market value of Alpha Modus or that the price it is paying for Alpha Modus is fair to its stockholders from a financial point of view.

The IAC Board was not provided with a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with their determination to approve the Business Combination. IAC is not required to obtain an opinion from an unaffiliated third party indicating that the price it is paying is fair to its stockholders from a financial point of view. In analyzing the Business Combination, IAC’s Board and management conducted due diligence on Alpha Modus and researched the industry in which Alpha Modus operates and concluded that the Business Combination was in the best interest of its stockholders. Accordingly, IAC’s stockholders will be relying solely on the judgment of the IAC Board in determining the value of the Business Combination, and the members of the IAC Board are not experts in patent litigation or AI patent infringement and may not have properly valued such business. The lack of third-party valuation or fairness opinion may also lead an increased number of stockholders to vote against the Business Combination or demand redemption of their shares in connection with the Business Combination, which could potentially impact IAC’s ability to consummate the Business Combination.

You may be unable to ascertain the merits or risks of Alpha Modus’ operations.

If the Business Combination is consummated, New IAC will be affected by numerous risks inherent in Alpha Modus’ business operations. Although IAC’s management has endeavored to evaluate the risks inherent in the proposed Business Combination with Alpha Modus, IAC cannot assure you that it can adequately ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors. Furthermore, some of these risks may be outside of IAC’s control. IAC also cannot assure you that an investment in IAC’s securities will not ultimately prove to be less favorable to investors in IAC than a direct investment, if an opportunity were available, in Alpha Modus. In addition, if IAC’s stockholders do not believe that the prospects for the Business Combination are promising, a greater number of stockholders may exercise their redemption rights, which may make it difficult for IAC to consummate the Business Combination.

There is no assurance that IAC’s diligence will reveal all material risks that may present with regard to Alpha Modus. Subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination, New IAC may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on its financial condition and its share price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

IAC cannot assure you that the due diligence IAC has conducted on Alpha Modus will reveal all material issues that may be present with regard to Alpha Modus, or that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence or that risks outside of IAC’s control will not later arise. Alpha Modus is aware that IAC must complete the Business Combination by July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent). Consequently, Alpha Modus may have obtained leverage over us in negotiating the Business Combination Agreement, knowing that if IAC does not complete the Business Combination with Alpha Modus, IAC may not be able to complete an initial business combination with any other target business prior to such deadline. In addition, IAC has had limited time to conduct due diligence. Alpha Modus is a privately held company and IAC therefore has made its decision to pursue a business combination with Alpha Modus on the basis of limited information, which may result in a business combination that is not as profitable as expected, if at all. As a result of these factors, New IAC may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in reporting losses. Even if IAC’s due diligence successfully identified certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with our preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and would not have an immediate impact on IAC’s liquidity, the fact that IAC reports charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about IAC or IAC’s securities. Accordingly, any stockholders of IAC who choose to remain stockholders of New IAC following the Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares. Such stockholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value unless they are able to successfully claim that the reduction was due to the breach by IAC’s officers or directors of a duty of care or other fiduciary duty owed by them to IAC, or if they are able to successfully bring a private claim under securities laws that the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Business Combination contained an actionable material misstatement or material omission.

The unaudited pro forma financial information included in the section entitled Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements” may not be representative of New IAC’s results if the Business Combination is consummated and accordingly, you will have limited financial information on which to evaluate the financial performance of New IAC and your investment decision.

IAC and Alpha Modus currently operate as separate companies. IAC has had no prior history as a combined entity and its operations have not previously been managed on a combined basis. The pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have actually occurred had the Business Combination been completed at or as of the dates indicated, nor is it indicative of the future operating results or financial position of New IAC. The pro forma statement of earnings does not reflect future nonrecurring charges resulting from the Business Combination. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not reflect future events that may occur after the Business Combination and does not consider potential impacts of current market conditions on revenues or expenses. The pro forma financial information included in the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements” has been derived from IAC’s and Alpha Modus’ historical financial statements and certain adjustments and assumptions have been made regarding the combined organization after giving effect to the transaction. Differences between preliminary estimates in the pro forma financial information and the final acquisition accounting will occur and could have an adverse impact on the pro forma financial information and New IAC’s financial position and future results of operations.

In addition, the assumptions used in preparing the pro forma financial information may not prove to be accurate and other factors may affect New IAC’s financial condition or results of operations following the Closing. Any potential decline in New IAC’s financial condition or results of operations may cause significant variations in the stock price of New IAC.

IAC may issue additional shares of common or preferred stock to complete the Business Combination or after completion of the Business Combination, any one of which would dilute the interest of IAC’s stockholders and likely present other risks.

The IAC Charter authorizes the issuance of up to 200,000,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock, 20,000,000 shares of IAC Class B common stock, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. There are currently [•] authorized but unissued shares of IAC Class A common stock available for issuance, which amount does not take into account shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants. There are currently [•] authorized but unissued shares of IAC Class B common stock available for issuance. There are currently no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. IAC may issue a substantial number of additional shares of common or preferred stock to complete the initial business combination or under an employee incentive plan after completion of the Business Combination. However, the IAC Charter provides, among other things, that prior to IAC’s initial business combination, IAC may not issue additional shares of capital stock that would entitle the holders thereof to (i) receive funds from the Trust Account or (ii) vote on any initial business combination. These provisions of the IAC Charter, like all other provisions thereof, may be amended with a stockholder vote. IAC’s executive officers and directors have agreed, pursuant to a written agreement with IAC, that they will not propose any amendment to the IAC Charter that would affect the substance or timing of IAC’s obligation to redeem 100% of its public shares if IAC does not complete the initial business combination by July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent), unless IAC provides its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of IAC Class A common stock upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and working capital released to IAC), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. The issuance of additional shares of common or preferred stock:

        may significantly dilute the equity interest of existing investors;

        may subordinate the rights of holders of common stock if preferred stock is issued with rights senior to those afforded IAC’s common stock;

        could cause a change in control if a substantial number of common stock is issued, which may affect, among other things, IAC’s ability to use its net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of IAC’s present officers and directors; and

        may adversely affect prevailing market prices for IAC’s units, IAC Class A common stock and/or warrants.

The Company and the Company’s Sponsor, directors, officers or advisors, or their affiliates, may purchase shares in connection with the Transactions, which may reduce the Company’s public “float” of its common stock and the number of beneficial holders that could adversely affect the Company’s ability to qualify for Nasdaq’s listing standards.

In connection with the stockholder vote to approve the Business Combination the Sponsor or the Company’s directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates may privately negotiate transactions to purchase the Class A common stock from stockholders who would have otherwise elected to have their shares redeemed in conjunction with the Business Combination for a per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. There is no limit on the number of the shares of Class A common stock the Sponsor or the Company’s directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates may purchase in such transactions, subject to compliance with applicable law, including Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, and the rules of Nasdaq. However, the Sponsor and the Company’s directors, officers, advisors and their respective affiliates have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the Trust Account will be used to purchase the shares of Class A common stock in such transactions. None of the Sponsor or the Company’s directors, officers, advisors, or any of their respective affiliates, will make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller of such shares of Class A common stock or during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Such a purchase could include a contractual acknowledgement that such stockholder, although still the record holder of such shares of Class A common stock, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor or any of the Company’s directors, officers, advisors, or any of their respective affiliates, purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares.

The purpose of any such purchases of shares of Class A common stock could be to (a) increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the Business Combination or (b) to satisfy a closing condition in the Business Combination Agreement, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. Any such purchases of shares of Class A common stock may result in the completion of the Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent the purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements. Further, in the event the Sponsor or the Company’s directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates were to purchase shares of Class A common stock or warrants in privately negotiated transactions from public holders, such purchases would be structured in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, including, in relevant part, through adherence to the following:

        such Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or affiliates would do so at a price no higher than the price offered through our redemption process

        such purchased shares would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination;

        such Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or affiliates would not possess any redemption rights with respect to such purchased shares or, if they do acquire and possess redemption rights, they would waive such rights; and

        the Company would disclose in a Current Report on Form 8-K, before the Special Meeting, the following:

        the amount of our securities purchased outside of the redemption offer by the Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates, along with the purchase price;

        the purpose of such purchases;

        the impact, if any, of such purchases on the likelihood that the Business Combination will be approved;

        the identities of the Company’s selling stockholders for such purchases (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of the Company’s stockholders (e.g., 5% stockholders) who sold to the Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates; and

        the number of shares of Class A common stock for which we have received redemption requests pursuant to the redemption offer.

38

Table of Contents

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of Class A common stock and the number of beneficial holders of Class A common stock may be reduced, possibly making it difficult for the Company to obtain the quotation, listing or trading of its securities on a national securities exchange after the completion of the Business Combination.

The Sponsor or the Company’s officers, directors, advisors or any of their respective affiliates anticipate that they may identify the stockholders with whom the Sponsor or the Company’s officers, directors, advisors or any of their respective affiliates may pursue privately negotiated purchases by either the stockholders contacting us directly or by the Company’s receipt of redemption requests submitted by stockholders following our mailing of proxy materials in connection with the Business Combination. To the extent that the Sponsor or the Company’s officers, directors, advisors or any of their respective affiliates enter into a private purchase, they would identify and contact only potential selling stockholders who have expressed their election to redeem their shares for a pro rata share of the Trust Account or vote against the Business Combination. The Sponsor or the Company’s officers, directors, advisors or any of their respective affiliates will only purchase shares if such purchases comply with Regulation M under the Exchange Act and the other federal securities laws.

Any purchases by the Sponsor or the Company’s officers, directors, advisors or any of their respective affiliates who are affiliated purchasers under Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act will only be made to the extent such purchases are able to be made in compliance with Rule 10b-18, which is a safe harbor from liability for manipulation under Section 9(a)(2) of and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act. Rule 10b-18 has certain technical requirements that must be complied with in order for the safe harbor to be available to the purchaser. The Sponsor and the Company’s officers, directors, advisors and any of their respective affiliates will not make purchases of shares of Class A common stock if the purchases would violate Section 9(a)(2) of or Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act.

IAC is dependent upon its executive officers and directors and their departure could adversely affect IAC’s ability to operate and to consummate the initial business combination; IAC’s executive officers and directors also allocate their time to other businesses, thereby causing potential conflicts of interest that could have a negative impact on IAC’s ability to complete the initial business combination.

IAC’s operations and its ability to consummate the initial business combination are dependent upon a relatively small group of individuals and, in particular, its executive officers and directors. IAC believes that its success depends on the continued service of its executive officers and directors, at least until the completion of the business combination. IAC does not have an employment agreement with, or key-man insurance on the life of, any of its directors or executive officers. The unexpected loss of the services of one or more of IAC’s directors or executive officers could have a detrimental effect on IAC and the ability to consummate the business combination. In addition, IAC’s executive officers and directors are not required to commit any specified amount of time to its affairs and, accordingly, will have conflicts of interest in allocating management time among various business activities, including monitoring the due diligence and undertaking the other actions required in order to consummate the initial business combination. Each of IAC’s executive officers is engaged in several other business endeavors for which he may be entitled to substantial compensation and IAC’s directors also serve as officers and board members for other entities. If IAC’s executive officers’ and directors’ other business affairs require them to devote substantial amounts of time to such affairs in excess of their current commitment levels, it could limit their ability to devote time to IAC’s affairs which may have a negative impact on IAC’s ability to consummate the initial business combination.

New IAC’s ability to be successful following the Business Combination will depend upon the efforts of New IAC’s board of directors and key personnel and the loss of such persons could negatively impact the operations and profitability of New IAC’s post-combination business.

New IAC’s ability to be successful following the Business Combination will be dependent upon the efforts of New IAC’s board of directors and key personnel. IAC cannot assure you that New IAC’s board of directors and key personnel will be effective or successful or remain with New IAC. In addition to the other challenges they will face, such individuals may be unfamiliar with the requirements of operating an exchange-listed public company, which could cause New IAC’s management to have to expend time and resources helping them become familiar with such requirements.

Table of Contents

It is estimated that, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, IAC’s public stockholders will own less than 4.0% of the equity interests of New IAC, and IAC’s current management will not be engaged in the day-to-day management of New IAC’s business. Accordingly, the future performance of New IAC will depend upon the quality of the post-business combination board of directors, management and key personnel of New IAC.

IAC’s key personnel may negotiate employment or consulting agreements with New IAC in connection with the Business Combination. These agreements may provide for them to receive compensation following the Business Combination and as a result, may cause them to have conflicts of interest in determining whether the Business Combination is advantageous.

IAC’s key personnel may be able to remain with New IAC after the completion of the Business Combination only if they are able to negotiate employment or consulting agreements in connection with the Business Combination. Such negotiations may take place prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and could provide for such individuals to receive compensation in the form of cash payments and/or securities of New IAC for services they would render to New IAC after the completion of the Business Combination. The personal and financial interests of such individuals may influence their motivation in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. However, IAC believes the ability of such individuals to remain with New IAC after the completion of the Business Combination will not be the determining factor in IAC’s decisions regarding the consummation of the Business Combination. There is no certainty, however, that any of IAC’s key personnel will remain with New IAC after the consummation of the Business Combination. IAC cannot assure you that any of its key personnel will remain in senior management or advisory positions with the Combined Entity.

Because IAC’s Sponsor, which is controlled by IAC’s executive officers, will lose their entire investment in IAC if the Business Combination or an alternative business combination is not completed, and because IAC’s Sponsor, executive officers and directors will not be eligible to be reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses if the Business Combination is not completed, a conflict of interest may have arisen in determining whether Alpha Modus was appropriate for IAC’s initial business combination.

IAC’s Sponsor currently owns 4,875,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock and 449,997 shares of IAC Class B common stock, the Sponsor is controlled by IAC’s executive officers, and the Sponsor has agreed (A) to vote any shares owned by them in favor of any proposed business combination and (B) not to redeem any shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination. In addition, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 7,500,000 Private Placement Warrants, each exercisable for one share of IAC Class A common stock at $11.50 per share, that will also be worthless if IAC does not complete a business combination.

Additionally, the personal and financial interests of IAC’s executive officers and directors may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business combination, completing an initial business combination and influencing the operation of the business following the initial business combination. At the closing of IAC’s initial business combination, the Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on IAC’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. In the event the Business Combination or an alternative business combination is completed, there is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on IAC’s behalf. However, IAC’s sponsors, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates will not be eligible for any such reimbursement if the Business Combination or an alternative business combination is not completed. Such financial interests of IAC’s sponsors, executive officers and directors may have influenced their motivation in approving and completing the Business Combination.

The interests of the Sponsor, IAC’s executive officers and directors may have incentivized them to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company, or complete an acquisition on terms less favorable to stockholders, rather than liquidate.

Some of the IAC officers and directors may be argued to have conflicts of interest that may influence them to support or approve the Business Combination without regard to your interests.

Certain officers and directors of IAC participate in arrangements that may be argued to provide them with interests in the Business Combination that may be different from yours, including, among others, the continued service as an officer or director of New IAC, severance benefits, equity grants, continued indemnification and the potential ability

40

Table of Contents

to sell an increased number of shares of common stock of New IAC. If the Business Combination is not consummated and IAC is forced to wind up, dissolve and liquidate in accordance with the IAC Charter, the 5,100,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock and 900,000 shares of Class B common stock currently held by the Sponsor and the Anchor Investors, which were initially acquired prior to the IAC IPO by the Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, will be worthless (as the holders have waived liquidation rights with respect to such shares). Such shares of IAC Class A common stock and Class B common stock had an aggregate market value of approximately $64.6 million based on the last sale price of $10.76 per share on Nasdaq on February 1, 2024. Accordingly, the Sponsor and IAC’s current executive officers and directors, have interests that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder.

These interests, among others, may influence the officers and directors of IAC to support or approve the Business Combination, and the interests of the Sponsor, IAC’s executive officers and directors may have incentivized them to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company, or complete an acquisition on terms less favorable to stockholders, rather than liquidate. For more information concerning the interests of IAC executive officers and directors, see the sections entitled “The IAC Business Combination Proposal — Interests of IAC’s Sponsor, Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” in this proxy statement/prospectus.

IAC’s stockholders may not realize a benefit from the Business Combination commensurate with the ownership dilution they will experience in connection with the Business Combination.

If New IAC is unable to realize the full strategic and financial benefits currently anticipated from the Business Combination, IAC’s stockholders will have experienced substantial dilution of their ownership interests in their respective companies without receiving any commensurate benefit, or only receiving part of the commensurate benefit to the extent New IAC is able to realize only part of the strategic and financial benefits currently anticipated from the Business Combination.

During the pendency of the Business Combination, IAC may not be able to enter into a business combination with another party because of restrictions in the Business Combination Agreement, which could adversely affect their respective businesses. Furthermore, certain provisions of the Business Combination Agreement may discourage third parties from submitting alternative takeover proposals, including proposals that may be superior to the arrangements contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

Covenants in the Business Combination Agreement impede the ability of IAC to make acquisitions or complete other transactions that are not in the ordinary course of business pending completion of the Business Combination. As a result, if the Business Combination is not completed, the parties may be at a disadvantage to their competitors during that period. In addition, while the Business Combination Agreement is in effect, each party is generally prohibited from soliciting, initiating, encouraging or entering into certain extraordinary transactions, such as a merger, sale of assets or other business combination outside the ordinary course of business, with any third party. Any such transactions could be favorable to such party’s stockholders.

If the conditions to the Business Combination are not met, the Business Combination may not occur.

Even if the Business Combination is approved by the stockholders of IAC (including each of the Required Approvals) and Alpha Modus, specified conditions must be satisfied or waived to complete the Business Combination. These conditions are described in detail in the Business Combination Agreement and in addition to stockholder consent, include among other requirements, (i) receipt of requisite regulatory approvals and no law or order preventing the transactions, (ii) no pending litigation to enjoin or restrict the Closing, (iii) each party’s representations and warranties being true and correct as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement and as of the Closing (subject to Material Adverse Effect), (iv) each party complying in all material respects with its covenants and agreements, and (v) no Material Adverse Effect with respect to a party since the date of the Business Combination Agreement which remains continuing and uncured,. See “The Business Combination Agreement and Related Agreements — Business Combination Agreement — Conditions to Consummation of the Business Combination” below for a more complete summary. IAC and Alpha Modus cannot assure you that all of the conditions will be satisfied. If the conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Business Combination will not occur, or will be delayed and such delay may cause IAC and Alpha Modus to each lose some or all of the intended benefits of the Business Combination. If the Business Combination does

41

Table of Contents

not occur, IAC may not be able to find another potential candidate for its initial business combination prior to IAC’s deadline (currently July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent)), and IAC will be required to liquidate.

Because Alpha Modus will become a publicly traded company through a merger as opposed to an underwritten public offering, no underwriter has conducted due diligence in connection with the Business Combination.

In an underwritten public offering, underwriters typically conduct due diligence on the issuer in order to establish a due diligence defense against liability claims under federal securities laws. Because IAC is already a publicly traded company, no underwriter has conducted due diligence in connection with the Business Combination. While sponsors, private investors and management in a business combination undertake a certain level of due diligence, it is not necessarily the same level of due diligence undertaken by an underwriter in an underwritten public offering and, therefore, there could be a heightened risk of an incorrect valuation of the business or material misstatements or omissions in this proxy statement/prospectus.

We may amend the terms of the warrants in a manner that may be adverse to holders of public warrants with the approval by the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding public warrants. As a result, the exercise price of your warrants could be increased, the exercise period could be shortened and the number of shares of our Class A common stock purchasable upon exercise of a warrant could be decreased, all without your approval.

Our warrants will be issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and us. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding public warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of public warrants. Accordingly, we may amend the terms of the public warrants in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding public warrants approve of such amendment. Although our ability to amend the terms of the public warrants with the consent of at least a majority of the then outstanding public warrants is unlimited, examples of such amendments could be amendments to, among other things, increase the exercise price of the warrants, convert the warrants into cash or stock, shorten the exercise period or decrease the number of shares of our Class A common stock purchasable upon exercise of a warrant.

New IAC may redeem your unexpired Public Warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your Public Warrants worthless.

New IAC will have the ability to redeem outstanding Public Warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the last reported sales price of New IAC common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date New IAC gives notice of redemption. If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by New IAC, New IAC may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. Redemption of the outstanding Public Warrants could force you (i) to exercise your Public Warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so, (ii) to sell your Public Warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your Public Warrants or (iii) to accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding Public Warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of your Public Warrants. As of ____________, 202__, the sales price of the IAC Class A Common Stock did not exceed the threshold that would allow New IAC to redeem the Public Warrants. None of the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Post-Combination Company so long as they are held by their initial purchasers or their permitted transferees.

We may be subject to the Excise Tax included in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 in connection with redemptions of our Common Stock after December 31, 2022.

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which, among other things, imposes a 1% excise tax on any publicly traded domestic corporation that repurchases its stock after December 31, 2022 (the “Excise Tax”). The Excise Tax is imposed on the fair market value of the repurchased stock, with certain exceptions. Because we are a Delaware corporation and because our securities trade on Nasdaq, we

42

Table of Contents

are a “covered corporation” within the meaning of the Inflation Reduction Act. While not free from doubt, absent any further guidance from the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”), who has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the Excise Tax, the Excise Tax may apply to any redemptions of our IAC Class A common stock after December 31, 2022, including redemptions in connection with the Business Combination, unless an exemption is available. Generally, issuances of securities by us in connection with our initial Business Combination transaction (including any PIPE transaction at the time of our initial Business Combination), as well as any other issuances of securities not in connection with our initial Business Combination, would be expected to reduce the amount of the Excise Tax in connection with redemptions occurring in the same calendar year. In addition, the Excise Tax would be payable by us, and not by the redeeming holder. Further, based on recently issued interim guidance from the IRS and Treasury, subject to certain exceptions, the Excise Tax should not apply in the event of IAC’s liquidation. As of September 30, 2023, IAC had an Excise Tax payable of $2,348,302.

We do not expect that the Combined Company will pay dividends in the foreseeable future after the Merger.

We expect that the Combined Company will retain most, if not all, of its available funds and any future earnings after the Merger to fund its operations and the development and growth of its business. As a result, we do not expect that the Combined Company will pay any cash dividends on the Combined Company Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

Following completion of the Business Combination, the Combined Company’s board of directors will have complete discretion as to whether to distribute dividends. Even if the board of directors decides to declare and pay dividends, the timing, amount, and form of such dividends, if any, will depend on the future results of operations and cash flow, capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by the Combined Company from its subsidiaries, the Combined Company’s financial condition, contractual restrictions, and other factors deemed relevant by the board of directors. There is no guarantee that the shares of the Combined Company Common Stock will appreciate in value after the Business Combination or that the trading price of the shares will not decline. Holders of the Combined Company Common Stock should not rely on an investment in shares of the Combined Company Common Stock as a source for any future dividend income.

The existence of indemnification rights to the Combined Company’s directors, officers, and employees may result in substantial expenditures by the Combined Company and may discourage lawsuits against its directors, officers, and employees.

The Amended & Restated Charter and proposed Amended & Restated Bylaws, which will become the bylaws of the Combined Company, contain indemnification provisions for its directors, officers, and employees. Such indemnification obligations could result in the Combined Company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against its directors, executive officers, and employees, which it may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage the Combined Company from bringing a lawsuit against its directors and executive officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by its stockholders against its directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Combined Company and its stockholders.

If the Combined Company fails to develop or maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, it may not be able to accurately report its financial results or prevent financial fraud. As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in its financial reporting.

IAC is, and the Combined Company will be, subject to the risk that its independent registered public accounting firm could communicate to its board of directors that it has deficiencies in its internal control structure that they consider to be “significant deficiencies.” A “significant deficiency” is defined as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented or detected by the entity’s internal controls.

Effective internal control is necessary to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. If the Combined Company cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, it could be subject to regulatory action or other litigation and its operating results could be harmed.

IAC’s, and thereby the Combined Company’s, intended business, operations, and accounting are expected to be substantially more complex than ECD’s has been to date. It may be time consuming, difficult, and costly for the Combined Company to develop and implement the internal control and reporting procedures required by

43

Table of Contents

the Exchange Act. the Combined Company may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal control, and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internal control and reporting procedures. If the Combined Company is unable to comply with the internal control over financial reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, then it may not be able to obtain the required independent accountant certifications, which may preclude it from keeping its filings current with the SEC.

Further, a material weakness in the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting could result in an increased chance of fraud and the loss of customers, reduce the Combined Company’s ability to obtain financing, and require additional expenditures to comply with these requirements, each of which could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, and financial condition.

If the Combined Company is unable to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, including as applicable standards governing internal control are modified, supplemented, or amended from time to time, the Combined Company may not be able to ensure that it can conclude on an ongoing basis that it has effective internal control over financial reporting. Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could cause the Combined Company to face regulatory action and cause investors to lose confidence in its reported financial information, either of which could adversely affect the value of the Combined Company Common Stock.

The IAC Charter and the Amended and Restated Charter require, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that derivative actions brought in IAC’s or New IAC’s name, as applicable, against their respective directors, officers, other employees or stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty and other similar actions may be brought only in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware, which may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against IAC’s or New IAC’s directors, officers, other employees or stockholders, as applicable.

The IAC Charter and the Amended and Restated Charter require, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that derivative actions brought in IAC’s or New IAC’s name, as applicable, against their respective directors, officers, other employees or stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty and other similar actions may be brought only in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware or, if the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in the federal district court of the State of Delaware. This exclusive forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with IAC or New IAC, as applicable, or any of their respective directors, officers, other employees or stockholders, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims, although their respective stockholders will not be deemed to have waived their compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. However, there is no assurance that a court would enforce the choice of forum provision contained in the IAC Charter and the Amended and Restated Charter. If a court were to find such provision to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, IAC or New IAC, as applicable, may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm their business, operating results and financial condition.

The IAC Charter and the Amended and Restated Charter provide that the exclusive forum provision will be applicable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The Amended and Restated Charter also provides that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the federal district courts of the United States will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act.

The exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, federal courts will have exclusive jurisdiction over suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, both state and federal courts have jurisdiction to entertain such claims. As noted above, the Amended and Restated Charter provides that the federal district courts of the United States will be, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action under the Securities Act. Due to the concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts created by Section 22 of the Securities Act over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce the exclusive form provision. Investors also cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Anti-takeover provisions contained in the Amended and Restated Charter and the Proposed Bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt.

The Amended and Restated Charter and the Proposed Bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in our management without the consent of our board of directors. These provisions include:

        no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates;

        the exclusive right of our board of directors to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the board of directors or the resignation, death, or removal of a director with or without cause by stockholders, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on our board of directors;

        the ability of our board of directors to determine whether to issue shares of our preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer;

        a prohibition on stockholder action by written consent, which forces stockholder action to be taken at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders;

        the requirement that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by the board of directors, which may delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors;

        limiting the liability of, and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers;

        controlling the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of stockholder meetings;

        providing for a staggered board, in which the members of the board of directors are divided into three classes to serve for a period of three years from the date of their respective appointment or election;

        granting the ability to remove directors with cause by the affirmative vote of 66 2∕3% in voting power of the outstanding shares of New IAC common stock entitled to vote thereon;

        requiring the affirmative vote of at least 66 2∕3% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of New IAC entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, to amend the Proposed Bylaws or Articles V, VI, VII, VIII, IX and X of the Amended and Restated Charter; and

        advance notice procedures that stockholders must comply with in order to nominate candidates to New IAC Board or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting, which may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of New IAC.

These provisions, alone or together, could delay hostile takeovers and changes in control of New IAC or changes in New IAC Board and New IAC’s management.

As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203 of the DGCL, which prevents some stockholders holding more than 15% of our outstanding common stock from engaging in certain business combinations without approval of the holders of substantially all of New IAC common stock. Any provision of Amended and Restated Charter, the Proposed Bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of New IAC common stock and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for New IAC common stock. For more information, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus captioned “Description of Securities of IAC — Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law and the IAC Charter and Bylaws.”

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

The Proposed Bylaws will provide that New IAC will indemnify its directors and officers, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. In addition, as permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, the Proposed Bylaws and its indemnification agreements that it will enter into with its directors and officers will provide that:

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

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

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

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

        the rights conferred in the Proposed Bylaws are not exclusive, and New IAC is authorized to enter into indemnification agreements with its directors, officers, employees and agents and to obtain insurance to indemnify such persons.

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, New IAC’s only significant asset will be ownership of 100% of Alpha Modus’ common stock, and New IAC does not currently intend to pay dividends on New IAC common stock and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of New IAC common stock.

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, we will have no direct operations and no significant assets other than the ownership of 100% of Alpha Modus’ common stock. We will depend on Alpha Modus for distributions, loans and other payments to generate the funds necessary to meet our financial obligations, including our expenses as a publicly-traded company, and to pay any dividends with respect to our common stock. Applicable state law and contractual restrictions, including in agreements governing the future indebtedness of Alpha Modus, as well as the financial condition and operating requirements of Alpha Modus, may limit our ability to obtain cash from Alpha Modus. Thus, we do not expect to pay cash dividends on New IAC common stock. Any future dividend payments are within the absolute discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, working capital requirements, capital expenditure requirements, financial condition, level of indebtedness, contractual restrictions with respect to payment of dividends, business opportunities, anticipated cash needs, provisions of applicable law and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. As a result, you may not receive any return on an investment in New IAC common stock) unless you sell those securities, as applicable, for a price greater than that which you paid for it. In addition, in the event that the board of directors and stockholders of New IAC were to approve a sale of all of our common stock holdings of Alpha Modus, your equity interest would be in a holding company with no material assets other than those assets and other consideration received in such transaction.

If, following the Business Combination, securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about New IAC, its business, or its market, or if they change their recommendations regarding New IAC’s securities adversely, the price and trading volume of New IAC’s securities could decline.

The trading market for New IAC’s securities will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about New IAC, its business, market or competitors. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on New IAC. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of New IAC, New IAC’s share price and trading volume would likely be negatively impacted. If any of the analysts who may cover

46

Table of Contents

New IAC change their recommendation regarding New IAC common stock adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about New IAC’s competitors, the price of shares of New IAC common stock would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover New IAC were to cease coverage of New IAC or fail to regularly publish reports on it, New IAC could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause its share price or trading volume to decline.

Provisions in the agreements governing our financing arrangements may result in cross-triggers in other of our financing arrangements that may discourage investments in our securities.

In connection with the initial public offering of IAC’s securities and the consummation of the Business Combination, IAC and Alpha Modus have entered into various agreements governing our financing arrangements. These agreements include complex provisions that may result in cross-triggers in other of our financing arrangements. For example, the warrant agreement entered into between IAC and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company provides that if:

        IAC issues additional shares of common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share,

        the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the Business Combination (net of redemptions), and

        the Market Value is below $9.20 per share (collectively, an “issuance”),

then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the price at which IAC issues the additional shares of common stock or equity-linked securities, and the $18.00 redemption trigger price will be adjusted to 180% of this amount. “Market Value” is defined as the volume weighted average reported trading price of the Common Stock for the twenty (20) trading days starting on the trading day prior to the date of the consummation of the Business Combination. As a result, if we were to participate in such an issuance, then the exercise price and redemption trigger adjustments in the warrants would be triggered. These types of provisions may discourage investments in our securities.

The issuance of IAC Series C Preferred Stock in the Business Combination, and the future issuances of other debt securities and equity securities, may adversely affect us, including the market price of the IAC Class A common stock and be dilutive to existing stockholders.

We expect to issue 7,500,000 shares of IAC Series C Preferred Stock in the Business Combination. The Series C Preferred Stock will generally be convertible at any time 18 months following the Closing of the Business Combination, and may convert in some circumstances into more than 7,500,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock. Conversion of the IAC Series C Preferred Stock into IAC Class A common Stock will be dilutive to existing stockholders and may reduce the market price of IAC Class A common stock. For example, if there has never been a Trigger Event (as defined below), shares of IAC Series A Preferred Stock, which have a deemed face value of $10.00 per share (the “Face Value”) will convert into shares of IAC Class A common stock at the lesser of the Face Value or the average of the 5 lowest closing prices of IAC Class  A common stock during the 10 trading days preceding conversion. However, following a following any Trigger Event, such conversion shall be at the lesser of the Face Value or 50.0% of the average of the lowest closing prices during the 10 trading days preceding conversion. “Trigger Event” generally means (i) IAC’s failure to deliver conversion shares when required; (ii)  violation of or failure to timely perform any covenant in the designation of the rights of the IAC Series C Preferred Stock; (iii) suspension from trading or delisting from IAC’s principal trading exchange or market; (iv)  notification of an intention not to comply with a conversion notice; (v) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation or similar proceedings; (vi) the appointment of a custodian, receiver or similar official for IAC; (vii) judgments in excess of $500,000 which are not stayed or satisfied within 30 days of entry; (viii) failure to comply with reporting requirements of Securities Exchange Act; (ix) any regulatory, administrative or enforcement proceeding is initiated against IAC; or (x) any material provision of the designation of the rights of the Series C Preferred Stock ceases to be valid or is contested. As a result, regardless of whether a Trigger Event occurs, if the trading price of IAC’s Class A common stock is less than $10.00/share at the time of conversion, the IAC Series C Preferred Stock will generally convert into more than 7,500,000 shares, and if the trading price is substantially lower than $10.00/share or a Trigger Event occurs, into substantially more than 7,500,000 shares.

Additionally, shares of IAC Series C Preferred Stock will rank senior to IAC Class A common stock with respect to rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution. The IAC Series C Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $10.00 per share or an aggregate liquidation preference of $75,000,000 over holders of IAC Class A common stock. This preference, and conversion rights associated with the IAC Class A common stock, may adversely affect us and reduce returns for holders, or the market price, of IAC Class A common stock.

Additionally, in the future, we may incur debt or issue other equity ranking senior to the IAC Class A common stock, like the IAC Series C Preferred Stock. Those securities will generally have priority upon liquidation. Such securities also may be governed by an indenture or other instrument containing covenants restricting our operating flexibility. Additionally, any convertible or exchangeable securities that we issue in the future may have rights, preferences and privileges more favorable than those of the IAC Class A common stock. Because our decision to issue debt or equity in the future will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, nature or success of our future capital raising efforts. As a result, future capital-raising efforts may reduce the market price of IAC Class A common stock and be dilutive to existing stockholders.

There can be no assurance that New IAC common stock that will be issued in connection with the Business Combination will be approved for listing on Nasdaq or, if approved, will continue to be so listed following the closing of the Business Combination, or that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq.

In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, we intend to list New IAC common stock on Nasdaq under the symbol “AMOD.” New IAC’s continued eligibility for listing may depend on the number of IAC’s shares that are redeemed. If, after the Business Combination, Nasdaq delists New IAC’s shares from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the listing standards, New IAC and its stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences including, but not limited to:

        a limited availability of market quotations for New IAC’s securities;

        reduced liquidity for New IAC’s securities;

        a determination that New IAC common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in New IAC common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for New IAC common stock;

        a limited amount of analyst coverage; and

        a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” Because New IAC common stock and Public Warrants are listed on Nasdaq, they are covered securities. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of our securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. While we are not aware of a state, other than the State of Idaho, having used these powers to prohibit or restrict the sale of securities issued by blank check companies, certain state securities regulators view blank check companies unfavorably and might use these powers, or threaten to use these powers, to hinder the sale of securities of blank check companies in their states. Further, if New IAC was no longer listed on Nasdaq, New IAC’s securities would not be covered securities and New IAC would be subject to regulation in each state in which New IAC offers its securities.

An active market for New IAC’s securities may not develop, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of New IAC’s securities.

The price of New IAC’s securities may vary significantly due to factors specific to New IAC as well as to general market or economic conditions. Furthermore, an active trading market for New IAC’s securities may never develop or, if developed, it may not be sustained. Holders of New IAC’s securities may be unable to sell their securities unless a market can be established and sustained.

The market price of New IAC common stock may decline as a result of the Business Combination or other market factors.

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

In addition, following the Business Combination, fluctuations in the price of New IAC’s securities could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. Prior to the Business Combination, there has not been a public market for Alpha Modus common stock. Accordingly, the valuation ascribed to Alpha Modus may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market following the Business Combination. If an active market for New IAC’s securities develops and continues, the trading price of New IAC’s securities following the Business Combination could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond New IAC’s control. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on your investment in New IAC’s securities and New IAC’s securities may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for them. In such circumstances, the trading price of New IAC’s securities may not recover and may experience a further decline.

The market price of New IAC common stock may decline as a result of the Business Combination and for a number of other reasons including if:

        investors react negatively to the prospects of New IAC’s business and the prospects of the Business Combination;

        the effect of the Business Combination on New IAC’s business and prospects is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts;

        New IAC does not achieve the perceived benefits of the Business Combination as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial or industry analysts;

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

        changes in the market’s expectations about New IAC’s operating results;

        success of competitors;

        changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning New IAC or the transportation industry in general;

        operating and share price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to New IAC;

        New IAC’s ability to market new and enhanced products and technologies on a timely basis;

        changes in laws and regulations affecting New IAC’s business;

        New IAC’s ability to meet compliance requirements;

        commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving New IAC;

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

        the volume of New IAC’s shares of common stock available for public sale; or

        any major change in New IAC’s Board or management.

Future sales, or the perception of future sales, by New IAC or its stockholders in the public market following the Business Combination could cause the market price for New IAC common stock to decline.

The sale of shares of New IAC common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing market price of shares of New IAC common stock. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for New IAC to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that it deems appropriate.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, it is currently expected that New IAC will have a total of 13,731,388 shares of New IAC common stock outstanding (excluding the potential exercise of any outstanding Warrants, and assuming that (i) there are no redemptions of any shares by IAC’s public stockholders in connection with the Business Combination, (ii) IAC does not engage in any kind of additional equity financing prior to the Closing, and (iii) no earnout shares are issued to the Alpha Modus stockholders or released to the Sponsor, as the applicable milestones relating thereto are not expected to be achieved within 60 days of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus). All shares currently held by IAC public stockholders and all of the shares issued in the Business Combination to existing Alpha Modus stockholders will be freely tradable without registration under the Securities Act, and without restriction by persons other than New IAC’s “affiliates” (as defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, “Rule 144”), including New IAC’s directors, executive officers and other affiliates.

In connection with the Business Combination, certain existing Alpha Modus stockholders, who are expected to collectively own 4,342,308 shares of New IAC common stock following the Business Combination and 7,500,000 shares of New IAC Series C Preferred Stock (based on the above assumptions and Alpha Modus’ current stock holdings), have agreed with IAC, subject to certain exceptions, not to dispose of or hedge any of their shares of New IAC common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of New IAC common stock during the period from the date of the Closing continuing through the earliest of: (i) the date that is one year from the Closing Date, (ii) the last trading day when the last reported sale price of New IAC common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period at least one year after the Closing Date, or (iii) such date on which New IAC completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the New IAC stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of New IAC common stock for cash, securities or other property.

In the future, New IAC may also issue its securities in connection with investments or acquisitions. The amount of shares of New IAC common stock issued in connection with an investment or acquisition could constitute a material portion of the then-outstanding shares of New IAC common stock. Any issuance of additional securities in connection with investments or acquisitions may result in additional dilution to New IAC stockholders.

New IAC’s failure to meet the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq could result in a delisting of its Securities.

If, after listing, New IAC fails to satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq such as the corporate governance requirements or the minimum closing bid price requirement, Nasdaq may take steps to delist its securities. Such a delisting would likely have a negative effect on the price of the securities and would impair your ability to sell or purchase the securities when you wish to do so. In the event of a delisting, New IAC can provide no assurance that any action taken by it to restore compliance with listing requirements would allow its securities to become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of its securities, prevent its securities from dropping below the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement or prevent future non-compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements. Additionally, if New IAC’s securities are not listed on, or become delisted from, Nasdaq for any reason, and are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, an inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities that is not a national securities exchange, the liquidity and price of our securities may be more limited than if we were quoted or listed on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange. You may be unable to sell your securities unless a market can be established or sustained.

New IAC will qualify as an “emerging growth company” as well as a smaller reporting company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if New IAC takes advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies or smaller reporting companies, this could make New IAC’s securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare New IAC’s performance with other public companies.

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, New IAC will qualify as an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, New IAC may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public

50

Table of Contents

companies that are not emerging growth companies for as long as New IAC continues to be an emerging growth company, including, but not limited to, (i) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (ii) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in New IAC’s periodic reports and proxy statements and (iii) exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. As a result, New IAC’s stockholders may not have access to certain information they may deem important. New IAC will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which the market value of New IAC common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of that year’s second fiscal quarter, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which New IAC has total annual gross revenue of $1.07 billion or more during such fiscal year (as indexed for inflation), (iii) the date on which New IAC has issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in the prior three-year period or (iv) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of IAC Class A common stock in the IAC IPO. Investors may find New IAC’s securities less attractive because New IAC will rely on these exemptions. IAC cannot predict whether investors will find New IAC’s securities less attractive because it will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find New IAC’s securities less attractive as a result of its reliance on these exemptions, the trading prices of New IAC’s securities may be lower than they otherwise would be, there may be a less active trading market for its securities and the trading prices of its securities may be more volatile.

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 an election to opt out is irrevocable. We have 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, we, 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 New IAC’s 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.

Additionally, New IAC will qualify as a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. New IAC will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (i) the market value of New IAC common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the end of that year’s second fiscal quarter, or (ii) its annual revenues exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of New IAC common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of that year’s second fiscal quarter. To the extent New IAC takes advantage of such reduced disclosure obligations, it may also make comparison of its financial statements with other public companies difficult or impossible.

The unaudited pro forma financial information included herein may not be indicative of what New IAC’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been.

The unaudited pro forma financial information included herein is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what New IAC’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the Business Combination been completed on the dates indicated.

Compliance obligations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may make it more difficult for us to effectuate our initial business combination, require substantial financial and management resources, and increase the time and costs of completing an initial business combination.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we evaluate and report on our system of internal controls. Only in the event we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer, and no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, will we be required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement on our internal control over financial reporting. Further, for as long as we remain an emerging growth company, we will not be required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm

attestation requirement on our internal control over financial reporting. The fact that we are a blank check company makes compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act particularly burdensome on us as compared to other public companies because a target business with which we seek to complete our initial business combination may not be in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding adequacy of its internal controls. The development of the internal control of any such entity to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may increase the time and costs necessary to complete any such business combination.

We have identified material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. This material weakness could continue to adversely affect our ability to report our results of operations and financial condition accurately and in a timely manner.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our management is likewise required, on a quarterly basis, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and to disclose any changes and material weaknesses identified through such evaluation of those internal controls. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

We previously identified two significant deficiencies that resulted in immaterial revisions to our previously reported financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the quarterly unaudited financial statements contained in its Form 10-Qs for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022. The deficiencies related to a missed adjustment for shares that were forfeited on October 16, 2021, and a calculation error in the supporting documents for the Company’s income tax footnote. These two identified significant deficiencies resulted in our inability to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K, and, thus, resulted in a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

Additionally, between March 2, 2023 and December 5, 2023, the Company withdrew an aggregate amount of $2,497,248.57 from the Company’s IPO trust account pursuant to seven separate written withdrawal requests to Continental Stock Transfer and Trust (“Continental”), the trustee for the trust account for the payment of taxes. While the Company paid an aggregate amount of $1,447,889.17 for tax payments, the remaining amount of $1,049,359.40, that was withdrawn from the trust account for tax purposes, was used to pay other business expenses of the Company. On March 15, 2024, the Sponsor deposited $1,049,359.40 into the trust account, and on March 26, 2024, the Sponsor deposited an additional amount $36,285.07 into the trust account to reimburse the trust account for interest that would have earned on the $1,049,359.40 that was erroneously withdrawn from the trust account. This resulted in a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. Subsequent to the end of the March 31 fiscal quarter, the funds were returned by the Sponsor to the trust account. Furthermore, during the year ended December 31, 2023, funds were transferred from the trust account to the Company’s operating bank account and then to the Sponsor, which is not in accordance with the trust agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we did not have controls in place to prevent or detect such transfer of funds. This resulted in a material weakness. Subsequent to the period end, the funds were returned by the Sponsor to the Company’s operating bank account.

We have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of December 31, 2022, and as of December 31, 2023, because material weaknesses existed in our internal control over financial reporting. We have taken a number of measures to remediate the material weaknesses described therein; however, if we are unable to remediate our material weaknesses in a timely manner or we identify additional material weaknesses, we may be unable to provide required financial information in a timely and reliable manner and we may incorrectly report financial information. Likewise, if our financial statements are not filed on a timely basis, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the stock exchange on which our Class A common stock is listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities. Failure to timely file will cause us to be ineligible to utilize short form registration statements on Form S-3 or, which may impair our ability to obtain capital in a timely fashion to execute our business strategies or issue shares to effect an acquisition. In either case, the existence of material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting could adversely affect our business and our reputation or investor perceptions of us, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock. In addition, we will incur additional costs to remediate material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

Table of Contents

We can give no assurance that the measures we have taken and plan to take in the future will remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting or that any additional material weaknesses or restatements of financial results will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or circumvention of these controls. In addition, even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures, in the future those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or errors or to facilitate the fair presentation of our financial statements.

Risks Related to the Redemption

IAC does not have a specified maximum redemption threshold. The absence of such a redemption threshold may make it impossible for IAC to complete the Business Combination.

The IAC Charter does not provide a specified maximum redemption threshold. In the event the aggregate cash consideration IAC would be required to pay for all shares of IAC Class A common stock that are validly submitted for redemption and other expenses of the Business Combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to IAC, IAC would not be able to complete the Business Combination.

Public Stockholders will not have any rights or interests in funds from the Trust Account, except under certain limited circumstances. To liquidate their investment, therefore, Public Stockholders may be forced to sell their Public Shares or Public Warrants, potentially at a loss.

Public Stockholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only upon the earliest to occur of: (i) IAC’s completion of an initial business combination, and then only in connection with those shares of IAC Class A common stock that such Public Stockholder properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described herein, (ii) the redemption of any Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the IAC Charter (A) to modify the substance or timing of IAC’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if IAC does not complete an initial business combination by July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent), or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity and (iii) the redemption of the Public Shares if IAC is unable to complete an initial business combination by July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent), subject to applicable law and as further described herein. In no other circumstances will a Public Stockholder have any right or interest of any kind in the Trust Account. Holders of Public Warrants will not have any right to the proceeds held in the Trust Account with respect to the Public Warrants. Accordingly, to liquidate their investment, Public Stockholders may be forced to sell their Public Shares or Public Warrants, potentially at a loss.

There is no guarantee that a stockholder’s decision whether to redeem its shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account will put the stockholder in a better future economic position.

We can give no assurance as to the price at which a stockholder may be able to sell its Public Shares in the future following the completion of the Business Combination or any alternative initial business combination. Certain events following the consummation of any initial business combination, including the Business Combination, may cause an increase in our share price, and may result in a lower value realized now than a stockholder of IAC might realize in the future had the stockholder not redeemed its shares. Similarly, if a stockholder does not redeem its shares, the stockholder will bear the risk of ownership of the Public Shares after the consummation of any initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that a stockholder can sell its shares in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. A stockholder should consult the stockholder’s own tax and/or financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect his, her or its individual situation.

Public Stockholders who wish to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account must comply with specific requirements for redemption that may make it more difficult for them to exercise their redemption rights prior to the deadline. If stockholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement/prospectus, they will not be entitled to redeem their shares of IAC Class A common stock for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account.

Public Stockholders who wish to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account must, among other things (i) submit a request in writing and (ii) tender their certificates to our transfer agent or deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically through the DWAC system at least two business days prior to the IAC Special

53

Table of Contents

Meeting. In order to obtain a physical stock certificate, a stockholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC and our transfer agent will need to act to facilitate this request. It is our understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, because we do not have any control over this process or over the brokers, which we refer to as “DTC,” it may take significantly longer than two weeks to obtain a physical stock certificate. If it takes longer than anticipated to obtain a physical certificate, stockholders who wish to redeem their shares may be unable to obtain physical certificates by the deadline for exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.

Stockholders electing to redeem their shares will receive their pro rata portion of the Trust Account less Regulatory Withdrawals and franchise and income taxes payable, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Business Combination. Please see the section entitled “Special Meeting of IAC Stockholders — Redemption Rights” for additional information on how to exercise your redemption rights.

If a stockholder fails to receive notice of IAC’s offer to redeem the Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination, or fails to comply with the procedures for tendering its shares, such shares may not be redeemed.

IAC will comply with the proxy rules when conducting redemptions in connection with the Business Combination. Despite IAC’s compliance with these rules, if a stockholder fails to receive IAC’s proxy materials, such stockholder may not become aware of the opportunity to redeem its shares. In addition, proxy materials that IAC will furnish to holders of the Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination will describe the various procedures that must be complied with in order to validly tender or redeem Public Shares. For example, IAC may require the Public Stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in “street name,” to tender their certificates to IAC’s transfer agent up to two business days prior to the vote on the proposal to approve the Business Combination, or to deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically. In the event that a stockholder fails to comply with these or any other procedures, its shares may not be redeemed.

The future exercise of registration rights may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Certain of our stockholders will have registration rights for restricted securities. We are obligated to register certain securities, including shares of IAC Class A common stock held by our Sponsor and shares of New IAC common stock received by certain significant Alpha Modus stockholders as part of the Business Combination. We are obligated to (i) file a resale “shelf” registration statement to register such securities (and any shares of New IAC common stock into which they may be exercised following the consummation of the Business Combination) after filing an amendment to this proxy statement/prospectus following the receipt of the first round of SEC comments, and (ii) use reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable concurrently with the consummation of the Business Combination. Sales of a substantial number of shares of New IAC common stock pursuant to the resale registration statement in the public market could occur at any time the registration statement remains effective. In addition, certain registration rights holders can request underwritten offerings to sell their securities. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of New IAC common stock.

In connection with the Amended Registration Rights Agreement executed simultaneously with the Business Combination Agreement, approximately 4,500,000 shares of New IAC common stock, held by the Sponsor and the Anchor Investors, as defined herein, approximately 4,340,000 shares of New IAC common stock deemed to be beneficially owned by William Alessi, and up to 8,700,000 shares of New IAC common stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants held by Sponsor and the underwriter shall be entitled to registration rights. This amount of shares subject to registration rights does not include any earnout shares which the Sponsor may receive following the closing of the Business Combination Agreement. In the event the Sponsor does receive any earnout shares, the Sponsor will have registration rights with respect to such earnout shares.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Defined terms included below have the same meaning as terms defined and included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Introduction

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents the combination of financial information of IAC and Alpha Modus, adjusted to give effect to the Business Combination and related transactions. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses” to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). IAC has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and will only be presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2024, assumes that the Business Combination occurred on March 31, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and for the year ended December 31, 2023, assume that the Business Combination occurred on January 1, 2023.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been presented for illustrative purposes only and do not necessarily reflect what the Post-Combination Company’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the Business Combination occurred on the dates indicated. Further, the pro forma condensed combined financial information also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the Post-Combination Company. The actual financial position and results of operations of the Post-Combination Company may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.

The historical financial information of IAC was derived from the unaudited financial statements of IAC as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the audited financial statements of IAC for the year ended December 31, 2023, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The historical financial information of Alpha Modus was derived from the unaudited financial statements of Alpha Modus as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the audited financial statements of Alpha Modus for the year ended December 31, 2023, which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This information should be read together with IAC’s and Alpha Modus’ unaudited and audited financial statements, and related notes, the sections titled “IAC Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Alpha Modus’ Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and other financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Description of the Business Combination

Effective as of October 13, 2023, IAC, Merger Sub, and Alpha Modus, entered into a Business Combination Agreement pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Alpha Modus with Alpha Modus as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of IAC, and the Business Combination Agreement was amended on June 21, 2024.

Each share of Alpha Modus common stock (other than the Dissenting Shares and the Cancelled Shares (as such terms are defined in the Business Combination Agreement)) will be converted into (i) the right to receive Earnout Shares (which may be zero), and (ii) one share of New IAC common stock. Each share of Alpha Modus Series C preferred stock (other than the Dissenting Shares and the Cancelled Shares (as such terms are defined in the Business Combination Agreement)) will be converted into (i) the right to receive Earnout Shares (which may be zero), and (ii) one share of New IAC Series C Preferred Stock. Alpha Modus currently has, and as of Closing will have, no outstanding options, warrants or other convertible securities outstanding, so no IAC warrants, options or stock will be issued to any Alpha Modus convertible security holders in the Merger.

IAC common stock and warrants issued and outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger will continue to be outstanding after the closing of the Merger, except that all shares of IAC Class B Common Stock outstanding as of the Closing will be converted into the same number of shares of IAC Class A Common Stock as of the Closing (on a 1-for-1 basis). Although the IAC Charter provides for an anti-dilutive adjustment to the IAC Class B-to-IAC Class A common stock conversion ratio (to a ratio greater than 1-for-1) if the number of shares of

57

Table of Contents

IAC Class A common stock issued or deemed issued in connection with the Business Combination is in excess of the number of shares of IAC Class A common stock originally issued in the IAC IPO, that anti-dilutive adjustment will not be triggered at the Closing since less than 24,000,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock (the number of shares of IAC Class A common stock issued in the IAC IPO) will be issued in connection with the Business Combination.

The stockholders of Alpha Modus may be issued up to 2,200,000 additional Earnout Shares. The Alpha Modus Earnout Shares will be earned and issued in one-third (1/3) increments (of approximately 733,333 shares) if, for any twenty (20) Trading Days within any thirty (30)-consecutive Trading Day period beginning at least 180 days after the Closing Date and on or prior to the 5-year anniversary of the Closing Date, the VWAP of the Common Shares equals or exceeds $13.00 per share, $15.00 per share and $18.00 per share (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like after the Closing), respectively, with all remaining Alpha Modus Earnout Shares earned and issued upon a Change of Control of IAC at or prior to the 5-year anniversary of the Closing Date. Earnout Shares will be issued pro rata to holders of Alpha Modus common stock and Alpha Modus preferred stock, with a holder of a share of Alpha Modus common stock being treated equally with, and entitled to the same number of Earnout Shares as, a holder of a share of Alpha Modus preferred stock.

Management believes that the Earnout Shares is contingent consideration subject to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) rule ASC 805, Business Combinations. The guidance in ASC 815-40-15 requires a two-step approach first evaluating an instrument’s contingent exercise provisions and then settlement provisions to determine the classification of such instrument. The guidance as required under step 2 of ASC 815-40-15 is often referred to as the “fixed-for-fixed” rule and states that an instrument meets such criteria if the strike price and the notional of the instrument are fixed. The settlement of the Earnout Shares to the stockholders of Alpha Modus meets the “fixed-for-fixed” criteria because the VWAP of Common Shares is considered to be an input into a fixed-for-fixed contract. Therefore, the Earnout Shares are considered indexed to the issuer’s stock. As such, management determined that they should be classified as equity.

At the Closing, the Sponsor will deposit 750,000 Common Shares into escrow, and the Sponsor Earnout Shares will be released to the Sponsor according to the same milestones and timelines applicable to the Alpha Modus Earnout Shares described above.

The Sponsor Earnout Shares meet the “fixed-for-fixed” criterion and thus are considered indexed to the issuer’s stock. As such, management determined that the Sponsor Earnout Shares should be classified as equity.

At the Closing, (i) the combined company in the Merger will use its best efforts pay off IAC’s loan(s) from Polar (expected to be approximately $975,000 at Closing), (ii) the combined company in the Merger will use its best efforts to pay off Alpha Modus’ loans from Janbella (expected to be approximately $1,400,000 at Closing), (iii) the combined company will issue to Janbella 1,392,308 Common Shares, (iv) the combined company will issue to Michael Singer 125,000 Common Shares, (v) the combined company will issue to Cantor 210,000 Common Shares, and (vi) the combined company will issue to Odeon 90,000 Common Shares.

Table of Contents

Preferred Stock to be issued at Closing are generally not convertible into IAC Class A common stock until 18 months following Closing. The table assumes that each share of IAC Class B common stock outstanding prior to Closing the Business Combination will be converted into IAC Class A common stock in accordance with the IAC Charter on a 1-for-1 basis. Although the IAC Charter provides for an anti-dilutive adjustment to the IAC Class B-to-IAC Class A common stock conversion ratio (to a ratio greater than 1-for-1) if the number of shares of IAC Class A common stock issued or deemed issued in connection with the Business Combination is in excess of the number of shares of IAC Class A common stock originally issued in the IAC IPO, that anti-dilutive adjustment will not be triggered at the Closing since less than 24,000,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock (the number of shares of IAC Class A common stock issued in the IAC IPO) will be issued in connection with the Business Combination.

(2)      Includes 1,392,308 shares of IAC Class A common stock that will be issued by IAC to Janbella at Closing and 6,145,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock that will be issued by IAC to Alpha Modus’ stockholders in the Business Combination as Merger Consideration. Prior to Closing, Janbella owned 1,400,000 shares of Alpha Modus common stock, and Polar owned 1,000,000 shares of Alpha Modus common stock, such that the 6,145,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock that will be issued to Alpha Modus’ stockholders as Merger Consideration includes 1,400,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock that will be issued to Janbella as Merger Consideration, and 1,000,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock that will be issued to Polar as Merger Consideration. Janbella Group, LLC is controlled by William Alessi, the current CEO and principal stockholder of Alpha Modus, who is also expected to be the combined company’s CEO and principal stockholder.

(3)      Includes 2,792,308 shares of IAC Class A common stock to be held by Janbella following Closing, as well as 1,550,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock to be held by the following other affiliates of Mr. Alessi following Closing: (i) 350,000 shares to be held in the name of The 2023 Irrevocable Trust, (ii) 300,000 shares to be held in the name of The WRA 2023 Irrevocable Trust, (iii) 300,000 shares to be held in the name of The Janet Alessi 2023 Irrevocable Trust, (iv) 300,000 shares to be held in the name of The Isabella Alessi 2023 Irrevocable Trust, and (v) 300,000 shares to be held in the name of The Kim Alessi Richter Irrevocable Trust. William Alessi’s spouse, Sonia Alessi, is the trustee of each of the preceding trusts, and Mr. Alessi is deemed to be the beneficial owner of shares held in the name of each of the trusts.

(4)      The shares held by Sponsor at Closing reflect the forfeiture and cancellation of 750,000 shares by the Sponsor at Closing, but include 750,000 shares that will be transferred to escrow upon the Closing (which will still be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Sponsor since it will retain voting power with respect to the shares transferred to escrow), which will be released to the Sponsor according to the same milestones and timelines applicable to the Alpha Modus Earnout Shares described above. The shares held by the Sponsor include 449,997 shares of Class B common stock that will be converted on a 1-for-1 basis into 449,997 shares of Class A common stock automatically upon the closing of the Business Combination, without any adjustment.

(5)      The Anchor Investors are not affiliated with the Sponsor. The shares held by the Anchor Investors include 450,003 shares of Class B common stock that will be converted on a 1-for-1 basis into 450,003 shares of Class A common stock automatically upon the closing of the Business Combination, without any adjustment.

(6)      Includes 210,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock that will be issued by IAC to Cantor at Closing, and 90,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock that will be issued by IAC to Odeon at Closing.

(7)      Includes 125,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock that will be issued by IAC to Mr. Singer at Closing, but does not include shares of IAC Class A common stock deemed to be owned by Mr. Singer as a result of his voting and dispositive power over the Sponsor (as such shares are included in the Sponsor’s ownership in the table).

Immediately following the Business Combination, Mr. Alessi and his affiliates will hold 7,500,000 shares of New IAC Series C Preferred Stock, with the holders able to cast one vote for each share of preferred stock held. The following table illustrates the varying voting power for the combined company immediately following the Business Combination on a fully diluted basis(1):

(1)      This table makes the same assumptions as in the preceding ownership table, except that this table reflects the additional 7,500,000 votes associated with the 7,500,000 shares of New IAC Series C Preferred Stock to be issued to Mr. Alessi and his affiliates at Closing, and 12,000,000 shares underlying IAC Public Warrants and the 8,700,000 shares underlying IAC Private Placement Warrants.

Table of Contents

(2)      Includes the additional 7,500,000 votes associated with the 7,500,000 shares of New IAC Series C Preferred Stock to be issued to Mr. Alessi and his affiliates at Closing.

(3)      Includes the 12,000,000 shares underlying IAC Public Warrants.

(4)      Includes the 8,700,000 shares underlying IAC Private Placement Warrants, of which 7,500,000 shares are held by the Sponsor and 1,200,000 shares are held by the Underwriter.

In addition to the changes in percentage ownership depicted above, variation in the levels of redemptions will impact the dilutive effect of certain equity issuances related to the Business Combination, which would not otherwise be present in an underwritten public offering. Increasing levels of redemptions will increase the dilutive effect of these issuances on non-redeeming holders of Public Shares.

The following table shows the dilutive effect and the effect on the per share value of shares held by non-redeeming holders of Public Shares under a range of redemption scenarios and dilutive securities exercise scenarios:

(1)      Based on a post-transaction equity value of the Combined Company of $(0.0) million.

(2)      Based on a post-transaction equity value of the Combined Company of $(5.6) million.

(3)      Represents the post-Closing share ownership of the Combined Company assuming various levels of redemption by holders of Public Shares.

(4)      Represents the Base Scenario excluding the shares held by the Sponsor and Anchor Investors and excluding the Private Placement Warrants held by Sponsor and Underwriters.

(5)      Represents the Base Scenario plus the full conversion of the 7,500,000 shares of New IAC Series C Preferred Stock to be issued to Mr. Alessi and his affiliates at Closing.

(6)      Represents the Base Scenario plus the full exercise of the IAC Warrants. IAC Warrants are exercisable up to 20,700,000 shares. Of these, IAC Public Warrants are exercisable for 12,000,000 shares, and IAC Private Placement Warrants are exercisable for 8,700,000 shares. IAC Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are only exercisable after the consummation of the Business Combination.

(7)      Does not account for proceeds paid to the Combined Company, if any, in connection with payment of the exercise prices for warrants, which may be exercisable, in the case of IAC Public Warrants, by payment either of an exercise price or on a cashless basis under certain circumstances.

All of the relative percentages above are for illustrative purposes only and are based upon certain assumptions as described in the section entitled “Basis of Presentation and Glossary — Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages” and, with respect to the determination of the Assuming Maximum Redemptions Scenario in this section. Additionally, the relative percentages above assume the Business Combination was consummated on June 21, 2024. Should one or more of the assumptions prove incorrect, actual ownership percentages may vary materially from those described in this proxy statement/prospectus as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or intended.

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, although IAC will acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of Alpha Modus in the Business Combination, IAC will be treated as the “acquired” company and Alpha Modus will be treated as the accounting acquirer for financial statement reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Alpha Modus issuing stock for the net assets of IAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of IAC will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of Alpha Modus.

60

Table of Contents

Alpha Modus has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances under both the Assuming Minimum Redemptions Scenario and the Assuming Maximum Redemptions Scenario:

        The Alpha Modus’ stockholders will have the greatest voting interest in the Post-Combination Company;

        The Alpha Modus’ stockholders will have the ability to control decisions regarding election and removal of directors and officers of the Post-Combination Company;

        Alpha Modus will comprise the ongoing operations of the Post-Combination Company; and

        Alpha Modus’ existing senior management will be the senior management of the Post-Combination Company.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the assumptions below with respect to the potential redemption for cash of IAC Class A Common Stock:

        Assuming Minimum Redemptions Scenario: This presentation assumes that no IAC Public Stockholders will exercise redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares for a pro rata share of the funds in the Trust Account; and

        Assuming Maximum Redemptions Scenario: This presentation assumes that 519,080 Public Shares are redeemed for aggregate redemption payments of $5.6 million, assuming a $10.71 per share redemption price. This scenario includes all adjustments contained in the “Assuming Minimum Redemptions Scenario” and presents additional adjustments to reflect the effect of the “Assuming Maximum Redemptions Scenario”.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2024, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and for the year ended December 31, 2023, are based on the unaudited and audited historical financial statements of IAC and Alpha Modus. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on information currently available, and assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions used to present the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and include immaterial rounding differences.

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

(1)    Derived from the unaudited balance sheet of Alpha Modus as of March 31, 2024.

(2)    Derived from the unaudited balance sheet of IAC as of March 31, 2024.

(A)    Reflects the redemption of 481,865 IAC Class A Common Stock at $11.34 per share for an aggregate redemption payments of $5.5 million in June 2024.

(B)    Reflects the deposit of $0.03 million to the Trust Account in connection with the Extension and the accretion of $0.03 million to the IAC Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption.

(C)    Reflects the repayment of the amount owed to IAC Public Stockholders.

(D)    Reflects the forfeiture of $0.1 million of deferred compensation owed to Mr. Gary by IAC.

(E)    Reflects the transfer of investments held in the Trust Account to cash.

(F)    Reflects the settlement of the deferred underwriting commissions by issuance of a total of 300,000 shares of IAC Class A Common Stock to the Underwriters upon the Closing of the Business Combination.

(G)    Represents preliminary estimated transaction costs expected to be incurred by IAC and Alpha Modus of approximately $1.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively. These costs are accounted for a reduction in the combined cash account with a corresponding reduction in additional paid-in capital or accumulated deficit consistent with the treatment described in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5.A. These transaction costs will not recur in the Post-Combination Company’s income beyond 12 months after the transaction.

For the IAC transaction costs, $0.1 million has been paid and $0.8 million has been accrued as of the pro forma balance sheet date. The remaining amount of $0.1 million is reflected as an adjustment to accumulated losses. The IAC estimated transaction costs exclude the deferred underwriting commissions included in (F) above.

For the Alpha Modus transaction costs, $0.2 million are recorded as prepayment for D&O insurance policy. The remaining amount of $1.9 million is included as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital.

(H)    Represents the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of Alpha Modus’ common stock to Polar for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000.

(I)     Represents the issuance of 50,000 shares of Alpha Modus’ common stock to Maxim and 195,000 shares of Alpha Modus’ common stock to Pickwick for services rendered.

(J)     Represents the receipt of $0.3 million cash proceeds from Janbella subsequent to March 31, 2024.

(K)    Represents the receipt of cash balances due from Sponsor and the fully amortization of the debt discount on the loan to Polar.

(L)    Represents the issuance of 6,145,000 shares of IAC Class A Common Stock and 7,500,000 IAC Series C preferred stock to the existing Alpha Modus’ stockholders and debt holders.

(M)   Represents the issuance of 1,392,308 shares of IAC Class A Common Stock to Janbella and 125,000 shares of IAC Class A Common Stock to Michael Singer upon the Closing of the Business Combination.

(N)    Reflects the elimination of IAC’s historical accumulated deficit after recording the accretion as described in (B) above, the forfeiture of deferred compensation as described in Adjustment (D) above, the settlement of deferred underwriting commissions by stock as described in Adjustment (F) above, the transaction costs as described in (G) above, the amortization of debt discount as described in (K) above, and the issuance of stock as described in Adjustment (M) above.

(O)    Reflects the redemption of shares for cash by the IAC Public Stockholders upon consummation of the Business Combination. In Scenario 1, it assumes that no IAC Public Stockholders will exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares for a pro rata share of the funds in the Trust Account. In Scenario 2, it assumes that holders of 519,080 Public Shares redeem all of their Public Shares for approximately $10.71 per share, resulting in an aggregate redemption payment of $5.6 million. In addition, assuming 100% redemptions, IAC would not have sufficient funds available to pay for the transaction costs of $3.0 million, which would remain due and payable at the Closing of the Business Combination.

(P)    Reflects the conversion of 900,000 shares of IAC Class B Common Stock into the same number of IAC Class A Common Stock at the Business Combination.

(Q)    Reflects the forfeiture and cancellation of 750,000 shares of IAC Common Stock by the Sponsor at the Business Combination.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. Basis of Presentation

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP as Alpha Modus has been determined to be the accounting acquirer, primarily due to the fact that Alpha Modus’ stockholders will continue to control the Post-Combination Company. Under this method of accounting, although IAC will acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of Alpha Modus in the Business Combination, IAC will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Alpha Modus issuing stock for the net assets of IAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of IAC will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of Alpha Modus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2024, assumes that the Business Combination and related transactions occurred on March 31, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and for the year ended December 31, 2023, presents pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been completed on January 1, 2023.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2024, has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

        IAC’s unaudited balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 and the related notes for the three months ended March 31, 2024, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

        Alpha Modus’ unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 and the related notes for the three months ended March 31, 2024, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024, has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

        IAC’s unaudited statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

        Alpha Modus’ unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023, has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

        IAC’s audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

        Alpha Modus’ audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the assumptions below with respect to the potential redemption into cash of IAC Class A Common Stock:

        Assuming Minimum Redemptions Scenario:    This presentation assumes that no IAC Public Stockholders will exercise redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares for a pro rata share of the funds in the Trust Account.

        Assuming Maximum Redemptions Scenario:    This presentation assumes that 519,080 Public Shares are redeemed for aggregate redemption payments of $5.6 million, assuming a $10.71 per share redemption price. This scenario includes all adjustments contained in the “Assuming Minimum Redemptions Scenario” and presents additional adjustments to reflect the effect of the “Assuming Maximum Redemptions Scenario”.

As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.

69

Table of Contents

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination.

The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Business Combination are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that IAC believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited condensed pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments and it is possible the difference may be material. IAC believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Business Combination based on information available to management at this time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position of the Post-Combination Company would have been had the Business Combination taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the Post-Combination Company. They should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of IAC and Alpha Modus.

2. Accounting Policies

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, management of the Post-Combination Company will perform a comprehensive review of the two entities’ accounting policies. As a result of the review, management of the Post-Combination Company may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two entities which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of the Post-Combination Company. Based on its initial analysis, management of the Post-Combination Company did not identify any differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not assume any differences in accounting policies.

3. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Business Combination and has been prepared for informational purposes only.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses” to depict the Transaction Accounting Adjustments and present the Management’s Adjustments. IAC has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and is only presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The historical financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to include all necessary Transaction Accounting Adjustments pursuant to Article 11 of Regulation S-X, including those that are not expected to have a continuing impact.

The audited historical financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give pro forma effect to Transaction Accounting Adjustments that reflect the accounting for the transaction under GAAP. Alpha Modus and IAC have not had any historical relationship prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

The pro forma combined statement of operations does not reflect a provision for income taxes or any amounts that would have resulted had the Post-Combination Company filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented. The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet does not reflect the deferred taxes of the Post-Combination Company as a result of the Business Combination. Since it is likely that the Post-Combination Company will record a valuation allowance against the total U.S. and state deferred tax assets given the net operating losses as the recoverability of the tax assets is uncertain, the tax provision is zero.

The pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations are based upon the number of the Post-Combination Company’s shares outstanding, assuming the Business Combination occurred on January 1, 2023.

(1)      For the purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, all outstanding 12,000,000 shares of IAC Public Warrants and 8,700,000 shares of IAC Private Placement Warrants should have been assumed to have been exercised, and all 7,500,000 shares of IAC Series C Preferred Stock should have assumed to have been converted. However, since this results in anti-dilution, the effect of such exercise/conversion was not included in calculation of diluted loss per share.

Voting Power and Record Date

You will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the IAC Special Meeting if you owned shares of IAC common stock at the close of business on [•], 2024, which is the Record Date. You are entitled to one vote for each share of IAC common stock that you owned as of the close of business on the Record Date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. On the Record Date, there were            shares of IAC common stock outstanding, of which            are Public Shares, and            are Founder Shares held by the Sponsor and the Anchor Investors.

Vote of the Sponsor, Directors and Officers

In connection with the IAC IPO, IAC entered into agreements with each of its Sponsor pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to vote any shares of IAC common stock owned by it in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and for all other proposals presented at the IAC Special Meeting. These agreements apply to IAC’s Sponsor and the Anchor Investors as it relates to the Founder Shares and the requirement to vote such shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and for all other proposals presented to IAC stockholders in this proxy statement/prospectus. Nevertheless, we will need approval of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of IAC Class A common stock to be voted in favor of the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal in order to have the Business Combination approved.

IAC’s Sponsor has waived any redemption rights, including with respect to shares of IAC Class A common stock issued or purchased in the IAC IPO or in the aftermarket, in connection with Business Combination. The Founder Shares held by the Sponsor have no redemption rights upon IAC’s liquidation and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by IAC by July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent) (such deadline may be extended by amendment to IAC’s organizational documents).

Quorum and Required Vote for Proposals

A quorum of IAC stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the IAC Special Meeting if a majority of the IAC common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the IAC Special Meeting is represented in person or by proxy at the IAC Special Meeting.

The approval of the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of IAC common stock and a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of IAC Class A common stock as of the Record Date for the IAC Special Meeting.

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal each require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of IAC common stock cast by the stockholders represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the IAC Special Meeting.

If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal and the Nasdaq Proposal will not be presented to the IAC stockholders for a vote. The approval of the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, and the Nasdaq Proposal are preconditions to the consummation of the Business Combination. The Amended and Restated Charter Proposal and the Nasdaq Proposal are conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal (and the Business Combination Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal and the Nasdaq Proposal). The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

It is important for you to note that in the event the Business Combination Proposal does not receive the requisite vote for approval, then IAC will not consummate the Business Combination. If IAC does not consummate the Business Combination and fails to complete an initial business combination by July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent), IAC will be required to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then-remaining funds in such account to the public stockholders.

Table of Contents

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Nasdaq Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal. The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote of 65% of the issued and outstanding shares of IAC common stock as of the Record Date. The approval of the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of IAC common stock as of the Record Date. Accordingly, an IAC stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the IAC Special Meeting or an abstention will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal and Amended and Restated Charter Proposal.

Recommendation of IAC’s Board of Directors

IAC’s board of directors has unanimously determined that each of the proposals is in the best interests of IAC and its stockholders, and has unanimously approved such proposals. IAC’s board of directors unanimously recommends that stockholders:

        vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal;

        vote “FOR” the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal;

        vote “FOR” the Nasdaq Proposal; and

        vote “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, if it is presented to the meeting.

When you consider the recommendation of IAC’s board of directors in favor of approval of the Proposals, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor, members of IAC’s board of directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may be different from or in addition to (or which may conflict with) your interests as a stockholder and may be incentivized to complete a business combination that is less favorable to shareholders rather than liquidating IAC. These interests include, among other things:

        [•] will be IAC’s designee to the board of directors of New IAC upon the effectiveness of the Merger. As a director, in the future [•] may receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the board of directors of New IAC determines to pay to its directors;

        Michael Singer, IAC’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, will be issued 125,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock at Closing of the Business Combination;

        unless IAC consummates an initial business combination, IAC’s officers, directors and the Sponsor will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount of available proceeds not deposited in the Trust Account (as of [•], IAC’s officers and directors have incurred aggregate out-of-pocket expenses of [•]);

        as a condition to the IAC IPO, pursuant to the letter agreements between the Sponsor and IAC, the Sponsors’ Founder Shares became subject to a lock-up (the “Founder Share Lock-Up”) whereby, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Founder Shares are not transferable or saleable (i) in the case of the founder shares until the earlier of (A) six months after the completion of our initial business combination, or (B) subsequent to our initial business combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the IAC Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 60 days after our initial business combination, or (y) the date on which IAC completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of IAC’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property, and (ii) in the case of the private placement warrants and any shares of IAC Class A common stock issued upon exercise thereof, until 30 days after the completion of IAC’s initial business combination (while the Founder Shares are not the same as the IAC Class A common stock, are subject to certain restrictions that are not applicable to the IAC Class A common stock, and may become worthless if IAC does not complete a business combination by July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent) the aggregate value of the 6,000,000 Founder Shares owned by IAC’s Sponsor and the Anchor Investors is estimated to be approximately $68.2 million, assuming the per share value of the Founder Shares is the same as the $11.37 closing price of the IAC

Class A common stock on Nasdaq as of June 27, 2024). The Sponsor Lock Up Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2023, by and among IAC, Sponsor and Alpha Modus, see Exhibit 10.7 to this proxy statement/prospectus, modified the Founder Share Lock-Up to continue to and include the earlier of (i) the date that is 12 months after the Closing Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), or (ii) the date that the Closing Share Price (as defined in the Sponsor Lock Up Agreement) exceeds $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30-trading day period, the Sponsor agrees not to, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of eighty five percent (85%) of any shares of Common Stock held by the Sponsor as of the Effective Time, together with any (i) securities paid as dividends or distributions with respect to such securities or (ii) securities that are exchangeable or convertible into shares of Common Stock, owned directly by the Sponsor (including holding as a custodian) or with respect to which the Sponsor has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively, the “Covered Securities”; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, “Covered Securities” will not include an aggregate of fifteen percent (15%) of the shares of Common Stock owned by the Sponsor as of the Effective Time, which may be sold or otherwise transferred by the Sponsor without restriction pursuant to this Agreement);

        the Sponsor and underwriters purchased an aggregate of 8,700,000 warrants, each exercisable for one share of IAC Class A common stock at $11.50 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $8,700,000, or $1.00 per warrant, in a private placement consummated simultaneously with the IAC IPO, which warrants will be worthless if a business combination is not consummated (although the warrants have certain rights that differ from the rights of holders of the Public Warrants, the aggregate value of the 7,500,000 private placement warrants held by the Sponsor is estimated to be approximately $0.3 million, assuming the per warrant value of the private placement warrants is the same as the $0.04 closing price of the Public Warrants on Nasdaq as of June 27, 2024);

        the Sponsor and underwriters have agreed that the private placement warrants, and all of their underlying securities, will not be sold or transferred by it until 30 days after IAC has completed a business combination, subject to limited exceptions;

        the fact that Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for its Founder Shares and such securities will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination;

        the fact that the Sponsor has agreed not to redeem any of their Founder Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

        if IAC does not complete an initial business combination by July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent), a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants will be included in the liquidating distribution to IAC’s public stockholders and the private placement warrants will expire worthless and the Sponsor would have lost out on approximately $68.5 million based on the above values of the Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants; and

        if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event IAC is unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor has agreed that they will be liable to IAC, on a pro rata basis based on the number of Founder Shares owned by them, if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to IAC, or a prospective target business with which IAC has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share, and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable from interest, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the trust account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable), nor will it apply to any claims under IAC’s indemnity of the underwriters of the initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Voting Your Shares

Each share of IAC common stock that you own in your name entitles you to one vote. If you are a record owner of your shares, there are three ways to vote your shares of IAC Common Stock at the IAC Special Meeting:

1.      Vote by Internet.

        Before the meeting:    Go online to https://www.[•]. Use the Internet to transmit your voting instructions and for electronic delivery information up until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time the day before the meeting date. Have your proxy card in hand when you access the website and follow the instructions to obtain your records and to create an electronic voting instruction form. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares. However, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you must get a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way we can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares of IAC common stock.

        During the meeting:    Go online to https://www.[•]. You will be able to attend the IAC Special Meeting online, vote your shares electronically until voting is closed and submit your questions during the IAC Special Meeting. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares. However, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you must get a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way we can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares of IAC common stock.

2.      Vote by mail.    Mark, date, sign and mail promptly the enclosed proxy card (a postage-paid envelope is provided for mailing in the United States). By signing the proxy card and returning it in the enclosed prepaid and addressed envelope, you are authorizing the individuals named on the proxy card to vote your shares at the IAC Special Meeting in the manner you indicate. You are encouraged to sign and return the proxy card even if you plan to attend the IAC Special Meeting so that your shares will be voted if you are unable to attend the IAC Special Meeting. If you receive more than one proxy card, it is an indication that your shares are held in multiple accounts. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the IAC Special Meeting. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares of IAC common stock will be voted as recommended by our Board. Our Board recommends voting “FOR” the Proposals. Votes submitted by mail must be received by            , on            , 2024.

3.      Vote by telephone.    You may vote by proxy by calling              and following the instructions on the proxy card. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares. However, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you must get a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way we can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares of IAC common stock.

Revoking Your Proxy; Changing Your Vote

If you are a record owner of your shares and you give a proxy, you may change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised at the IAC Special Meeting by doing any one of the following:

        submitting a valid, later-dated proxy card or voting instructions via the Internet or by telephone before 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on the calendar day immediately preceding the IAC Special Meeting, or by mail that is received prior to the IAC Special Meeting;

        sending a written revocation of a proxy to IAC’s secretary at _________________________________, that bears a date later than the date of the proxy you want to revoke and is received prior to the date of the IAC Special Meeting; or

        attending the IAC Special Meeting (or, if the special meeting is adjourned or postponed, attending the applicable adjourned or postponed meeting) and voting in person online, which automatically will cancel any proxy previously given, or revoking your proxy in person, but your attendance alone will not revoke any proxy previously given.

If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker for information on how to change or revoke your voting instructions.

No Additional Matters May Be Presented at the IAC Special Meeting.

The IAC Special Meeting has been called only to consider the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal. Under IAC’s bylaws, other than procedural matters incident to the conduct of the IAC Special Meeting, no other matters may be considered at the IAC Special Meeting if they are not included in this proxy statement/prospectus, which serves as the notice of the IAC Special Meeting.

Redemption Right

Pursuant to the IAC Charter, any holders of Public Shares may demand that such shares be redeemed in exchange for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account, less franchise and income taxes payable, calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. If demand is properly made and the Business Combination is consummated, these shares, immediately prior to the Business Combination, will cease to be outstanding and will represent only the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account which holds the proceeds of the IAC IPO (calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to it to pay the Company’s franchise and income taxes ). For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $[•] million on [•], the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $[•]. A public stockholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of Exchange Act) will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s shares, with respect to 15% or more of the shares of IAC common stock included in the units of IAC sold in the IAC IPO (including overallotment securities sold to IAC’s underwriters after the IAC IPO).

Table of Contents

In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must:

        prior to 5:00 PM Eastern Time on [•], 2024 (two (2) business days before the IAC Special Meeting), tender your shares physically or electronically and submit a request in writing that we redeem your public shares for cash to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, IAC’s transfer agent, at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
One State Street Plaza, 30th Floor
New York, New York 10004
Attn: Mark Zimkind
E-mail: spacredemptions@continentalstock.com

        In your request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company for redemption, you must also affirmatively certify if you “ARE” or “ARE NOT” acting in concert or as a “group”(as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) with any other stockholder with respect to shares of Common Stock; and

        deliver your Public Shares either physically or electronically through DTC to IAC’s transfer agent at least two (2) business days before the IAC Special Meeting. Stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent and time to effect delivery. It is IAC’s understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, IAC does not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two weeks. Stockholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their bank, broker or other nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically. If you do not submit a written request and deliver your public shares as described above, your shares will not be redeemed.

Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests (and submitting shares to the transfer agent) and thereafter, with IAC’s consent, until the vote is taken with respect to the Business Combination. If you delivered your shares for redemption to IAC’s transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that IAC’s transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting IAC’s transfer agent at the phone number or address listed above.

Prior to exercising redemption rights, stockholders should verify the market price of IAC common stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their Common Stock in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. We cannot assure you that you will be able to sell your shares of IAC common stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in IAC common stock when you wish to sell your shares.

If you exercise your redemption rights, your shares of IAC common stock will cease to be outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination and will only represent the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account. You will no longer own those shares and will have no right to participate in, or have any interest in, the future growth of the Combined Entity, if any. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly and timely demand redemption.

If the Business Combination is not consummated and IAC otherwise does not consummate an initial business combination by July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent), such deadline may be extended by amendment to IAC’s organizational documents, IAC will be required to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then-remaining funds in such account to the public stockholders and the Warrants will expire worthless.

At any time prior to the IAC Special Meeting, IAC’s initial shareholders, directors or officers or Alpha Modus and/or their respective affiliates, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding IAC or IAC’s Securities, may purchase units, Class A common stock, or warrants from investors, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares or vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood that the Proposals are approved at the IAC special meeting or to provide additional equity financing. Any such share purchases and other transactions may thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the Business Combination. This may result in the completion of the Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, none of IAC’s Sponsor, directors or officers has any plans to make any such purchases. IAC will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the Proposals. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

Entering into any such incentive arrangements may have a depressive effect on outstanding IAC common stock. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he owns, either prior to or immediately after the IAC Special Meeting.

The existence of financial and personal interests of IAC’s directors and officers may result in conflicts of interest, including a conflict between what may be in the best interests of IAC and its stockholders and what may be best for a director’s personal interests when determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the Proposals. See the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1)  Interests of IAC’s Sponsor, Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” and “Beneficial Ownership of Securities” for more information and other risks.

THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL (PROPOSAL 1)

General

Holders of IAC common stock are being asked to approve and adopt the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination. IAC stockholders should read carefully this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Business Combination Agreement, which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. Please see the section titled “— The Business Combination Agreement” below, for additional information and a summary of certain terms of the Business Combination Agreement. You are urged to read carefully the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety before voting on this proposal.

Because IAC is holding a stockholder vote on the Business Combination, IAC may consummate the Business Combination only if it is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of IAC common stock as of the Record Date for the IAC Special Meeting.

The Business Combination Agreement

The subsections that follow this subsection describe the material provisions of the Business Combination Agreement, but do not purport to describe all of the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A hereto, and which is incorporated herein by reference. Stockholders and other interested parties are urged to read the Business Combination Agreement carefully and in its entirety (and, if appropriate, with the advice of financial and legal counsel) because it is the primary legal document that governs the Business Combination.

The Business Combination Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement or other specific dates, which may be updated prior to the closing of the Business Combination. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the Business Combination Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Business Combination Agreement are also modified in important part by the disclosure schedules attached thereto which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders. The disclosure schedules were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. We do not believe that the disclosure schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision.

General Description of the Business Combination Agreement

Effective as of October 13, 2023, IAC entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Merger Sub, Alpha Modus, and the Business Combination Agreement was amended on June 21, 2024. Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used in this section “The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — The Business Combination Agreement” will have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Business Combination Agreement, as amended.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, among other matters, at the Effective Time each share of Alpha Modus common stock (other than dissenting shares) will be converted into (i) the contingent right to receive a pro rata portion of the Earnout Shares (as defined below) (which may be zero), and (ii) one share of New IAC common stock; and each share of Alpha Modus Series C Preferred Stock will be converted into (i) the contingent right to receive a pro rata portion of the Earnout Shares (as defined below) (which may be zero), and (ii) one share of New IAC Series C Preferred Stock. 6,145,000 shares of Alpha Modus common stock, and 7,500,000 shares of Alpha Modus Series C Preferred Stock, will be outstanding immediately prior to the Closing, and therefore 6,145,000 shares of New IAC common stock, and 7,500,000 shares of New IAC Series C Preferred Stock will be issued to Alpha Modus’ stockholders at Closing of the Business Combination.

81

Table of Contents

The stockholders of Alpha Modus may be issued up to 2,200,000 additional shares of IAC common stock (the “Earnout Shares”). The Earnout Shares will be earned and issued in one-third (1/3) increments (of approximately 733,333 shares) if, for any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30)-consecutive trading day period beginning at least 180 days after the Closing Date and on or prior to the 5-year anniversary of the Closing, the VWAP of the IAC common stock equals or exceeds $13.00 per share, $15.00 per share and $18.00 per share (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like after the Closing), respectively, with all remaining Earnout Shares earned and issued upon certain changes of control of IAC at or prior to the 5-year anniversary of the Closing. Earnout Shares will be issued pro rata to holders of Alpha Modus common stock and Alpha Modus preferred stock, with a holder of a share of Alpha Modus common stock being treated equally with, and entitled to the same number of Earnout Shares as, a holder of a share of Alpha Modus preferred stock.

At the Closing, IAC’s sponsor, Insight Acquisition Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) will deposit 750,000 shares of IAC common stock into escrow (the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”), and the Sponsor Earnout Shares will be released to the Sponsor according to the same milestones and timelines applicable to the Earnout Shares described above.

Additionally, IAC and the Sponsor agreed that the Sponsor will forfeit and cancel 750,000 shares of IAC common stock held by the Sponsor at Closing.

At the Closing, (i) the combined company will use its best efforts to pay off IAC’s loan(s) from Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (“Polar”) (expected to be approximately $975,000 at Closing), (ii) the combined company will use its best efforts to pay Alpha Modus’ loans from Janbella Group, LLC (“Janbella”) (expected to be approximately $1,400,000 at Closing), (iii) the combined company will issue to Janbella 1,392,308 shares of IAC common stock, (iv) the combined company will issue to Michael Singer 125,000 shares of IAC common stock, (v) the combined company will issue to Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”) 210,000 shares of IAC common stock, and (vi) the combined company will issue to Odeon Capital Group, LLC (“Odeon”) 90,000 shares of IAC common stock.

Post-Business Combination Ownership of the Combined Entity

Immediately after the Closing, IAC, which will be renamed Alpha Modus Holdings, Inc. (or another in the sole discretion of Alpha Modus), will own 100% of the Alpha Modus.

It is anticipated that, upon the completion of the Business Combination, IAC’s Public Stockholders will retain an ownership interest of approximately 3.8% of the outstanding capital stock of New IAC, the Sponsor will retain an aggregate ownership interest of approximately 33.3% of the outstanding capital stock of New IAC, the Anchor Investors will retain an aggregate ownership interest of approximately 4.9% of the outstanding capital stock of New IAC, the Alpha Modus stockholders and debt holder will own approximately 54.9% of the outstanding common stock of New IAC, and Alpha Modus’ CEO and majority shareholder, William Alessi, will be deemed to beneficially own in excess of 31.6% of the outstanding common stock of New IAC (4,342,308 shares of New IAC common stock) and 100% of the outstanding preferred stock of New IAC (7,500,000 shares of New IAC Series C Preferred Stock). The foregoing ownership percentages with respect to New IAC following the Business Combination excludes any outstanding Warrants and assumes that (i) there are no redemptions of any shares by IAC’s public stockholders in connection with the Business Combination, (ii) IAC does not engage in any kind of additional equity financing prior to the Closing, and (iii) no earnout shares are issued to the Alpha Modus stockholders or released to the Sponsor, as the applicable milestones relating thereto are not expected to be achieved within 60 days of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. If the actual facts are different than these assumptions (which they are likely to be), the percentage ownership retained by IAC’s existing stockholders in New IAC will be different.

Furthermore, William Alessi will be deemed to beneficially own in excess of 55% of New IAC’s voting stock. Holders of New IAC Series C Preferred Stock will be entitled to cast one vote for each share of preferred stock held on any matter presented to the company’s stockholders, and holders of New IAC Series C Preferred Stock will vote together with the holders of New IAC common stock as a single class. Therefore, the New IAC Series C Preferred Stock and New IAC common stock that will be deemed to be beneficially owned by Mr. Alessi will represent approximately 55.8% of the total votes associated with the capital stock of New IAC. 

82

Table of Contents

As a result of Mr. Alessi’s beneficial ownership of a majority of New IAC’s voting stock, New IAC will be “controlled company” under Nasdaq corporate governance rules eligible for certain exemptions from these rules, though New IAC does not intend to rely on those exemptions. See “Risk Factors — We will be a ‘controlled company’ within the meaning of the listing rules of Nasdaq and, as a result, can rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that provide protection to shareholders of other companies.”

(1)      This table does not include the 12,000,000 shares underlying IAC Public Warrants, the 8,700,000 shares underlying IAC Private Placement Warrants, or the 2,200,000 Earnout Shares that may be issued to the stockholders of Alpha Modus upon meeting certain milestones. Additionally, the table does not include any shares of common stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock to be issued at Closing of the Business Combination, as the shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be issued at Closing are generally not convertible into IAC Class A common stock until 18 months following Closing. The table assumes that each share of IAC Class B common stock outstanding prior to Closing the Business Combination will be converted into IAC Class A common stock in accordance with the IAC Charter on a 1-for-1 basis. Although the IAC Charter provides for an anti-dilutive adjustment to the IAC Class B-to-IAC Class A common stock conversion ratio (to a ratio greater than 1-for-1) if the number of shares of IAC Class A common stock issued or deemed issued in connection with the Business Combination is in excess of the number of shares of IAC Class A common stock originally issued in the IAC IPO, that anti-dilutive adjustment will not be triggered at the Closing since less than 24,000,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock (the number of shares of IAC Class A common stock issued in the IAC IPO) will be issued in connection with the Business Combination.

(2)      Includes 1,392,308 shares of IAC Class A common stock that will be issued by IAC to Janbella at Closing and 6,145,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock that will be issued by IAC to Alpha Modus’ stockholders in the Business Combination as Merger Consideration. Prior to Closing, Janbella owned 1,400,000 shares of Alpha Modus common stock, and Polar owned 1,000,000 shares of Alpha Modus common stock, such that the 6,145,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock that will be issued to Alpha Modus’ stockholders as Merger Consideration includes 1,400,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock that will be issued to Janbella as Merger Consideration, and 1,000,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock that will be issued to Polar as Merger Consideration. Janbella Group, LLC is controlled by William Alessi, the current CEO and principal stockholder of Alpha Modus, who is also expected to be the combined company’s CEO and principal stockholder.

(3)      Includes 2,792,308 shares of IAC Class A common stock to be held by Janbella following Closing, as well as 1,550,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock to be held by the following other affiliates of Mr. Alessi following Closing: (i) 350,000 shares to be held in the name of The 2023 Irrevocable Trust, (ii) 300,000 shares to be held in the name of The WRA 2023 Irrevocable Trust, (iii) 300,000 shares to be held in the name of The Janet Alessi 2023 Irrevocable Trust, (iv) 300,000 shares to be held in the name of The Isabella Alessi 2023 Irrevocable Trust, and (v) 300,000 shares to be held in the name of The Kim Alessi Richter Irrevocable Trust. William Alessi’s spouse, Sonia Alessi, is the trustee of each of the preceding trusts, and Mr. Alessi is deemed to be the beneficial owner of shares held in the name of each of the trusts.

(4)      The shares held by Sponsor at Closing reflect the forfeiture and cancellation of 750,000 shares by the Sponsor at Closing, but include 750,000 shares that will be transferred to escrow upon the Closing (which will still be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Sponsor since it will retain voting power with respect to the shares transferred to escrow), which will be released to the Sponsor according to the same milestones and timelines applicable to the Alpha Modus Earnout Shares described above. The shares held by the Sponsor include 449,997 shares of Class B common stock that will be converted on a 1-for-1 basis into 449,997 shares of Class A common stock automatically upon the closing of the Business Combination, without any adjustment.

83

Table of Contents

(5)      The Anchor Investors are not affiliated with the Sponsor. The shares held by the Anchor Investors include 450,003 shares of Class B common stock that will be converted on a 1-for-1 basis into 450,003 shares of Class A common stock automatically upon the closing of the Business Combination, without any adjustment.

(6)      Includes 210,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock that will be issued by IAC to Cantor at Closing, and 90,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock that will be issued by IAC to Odeon at Closing.

(7)      Includes 125,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock that will be issued by IAC to Mr. Singer at Closing, but does not include shares of IAC Class A common stock deemed to be owned by Mr. Singer as a result of his voting and dispositive power over the Sponsor (as such shares are included in the Sponsor’s ownership in the table).

Immediately following the Business Combination, Mr. Alessi and his affiliates will hold 7,500,000 shares of New IAC Series C Preferred Stock, with the holders able to cast one vote for each share of preferred stock held. The following table illustrates the varying voting power for the combined company immediately following the Business Combination on a fully diluted basis(1):

Table of Contents

Many of the representations and warranties are qualified by materiality, Company Material Adverse Effect or IAC Material Adverse Effect (as such terms are defined in the Business Combination Agreement).

Survival/Indemnification

The representations and warranties made by the parties terminate as of and do not survive the Closing, and there are no indemnification rights for another party’s breach. The covenants and agreements of the parties shall not survive the Closing, except those covenants and agreements to be performed after the Closing, which covenants and agreement shall survive until fully performed.

Covenants of the Parties

Each party to the Business Combination Agreement has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the Closing. The Business Combination Agreement also contains certain customary covenants by each of the parties during the period between the signing of the Business Combination Agreement and the earlier of the Closing or the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms (the “Interim Period”), including covenants regarding including with respect to (1) the operation of their respective businesses in the ordinary course of business; (2) the provision of access to their properties, books personnel, and policies, (3) provision of financial statements by Alpha Modus; (4) IAC’s stock listing; (5) notifications of certain breaches, consent requirements, material adverse changes or other matters; (6) efforts to consummate the Closing and obtain third party and regulatory approvals; (7) tax matters and transfer taxes; (8) further assurances; (9) confidentiality (10) public announcements; and (11) the HSR Act compliance (if applicable). There are also certain customary post-Closing covenants regarding: (1) maintenance of books and records; (2) indemnification of directors and officers; and (3) use of trust account proceeds.

IAC agreed, within ten (10) business days after IAC’s receipt of the PCAOB Audited Financials from Alpha Modus, and if not within such ten (10)-business day period, as promptly as practicable thereafter, to prepare, with reasonable assistance from Alpha Modus, and file with the SEC this Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of the issuance of the New IAC common stock to be issued to the Alpha Modus stockholders, including the Earnout Shares, and containing a proxy statement/prospectus for the purpose of IAC soliciting proxies from the stockholders of IAC to approve the Business Combination Proposal and the other Required Proposals at the IAC Special Meeting and providing such stockholders an opportunity in accordance with IAC’s organizational documents and IAC’s initial public offering prospectus to have their shares of IAC common stock redeemed.

Alpha Modus also agreed in the Business Combination Agreement to obtain the written consent of its stockholders, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Registration Statement becomes effective, and in any event within five (5) business days after the Registration Statement becomes effective and use its reasonable best efforts to solicit from Alpha Modus stockholders written consents in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination and related matters and the Alpha Modus Board will recommend to the Alpha Modus stockholders the same.

The parties also agreed to take all necessary action, so that effective at the Closing, the entire board of directors of New IAC will consist of seven individuals, a majority of whom shall be independent directors in accordance with Nasdaq requirements. Two of the members of such board will be designated by IAC (who shall be an independent director) prior to the Closing, and five of the members of the New IAC Board (at least four of whom shall be independent directors) will be designated by Alpha Modus prior to the Closing. The parties also agreed to classify IAC’s board into three classes as described below. IAC also agreed to provide each of the director designees to the New IAC Board with a customary director indemnification agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such director.

Classified Board of Directors

New IAC’s board of directors will consist of five members upon the closing of the Business Combination. In accordance with the Amended and Restated Charter to be filed immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, the board of directors will be divided into three classes designated Class A, Class B and Class C. Each class shall consist, as nearly as may be possible, of one-third (1/3) of the total number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors. Each director shall serve for a term ending on the date of the third annual meeting of stockholders following the annual meeting of stockholders at which such director was elected; provided that each director initially assigned to Class A shall serve for a term expiring at IAC’s first annual meeting of stockholders held after the Effective Time; each director initially assigned to Class B shall serve for a term expiring at IAC’s second annual meeting of stockholders held after the Effective Time; and each director initially assigned to Class C shall serve for a term expiring at IAC’s third annual meeting of stockholders held after the Effective Time. The directors will be divided among the three classes as follows:

        Class A, which we anticipate will consist of Scott Wattenberg, whose term will expire at the first annual meeting of stockholders to be held after the consummation of the Business Combination;

        Class B, which we anticipate will consist of [•] and Michael Garel, whose terms will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders to be held after the consummation of the Business Combination; and

        Class C, which we anticipate will consist of William Alessi and Gregory Richter, whose terms will expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders to be held after the consummation of the Business Combination.

New IAC expects that any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. The division of the board of directors into three classes with staggered terms may delay or prevent a change of our management or a change in control.

Interests of IAC’s Sponsor, Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of IAC’s board of directors in favor of approval of the Proposals, you should keep in mind that IAC directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may be different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) your interests as a stockholder and may be incentivized to complete a business combination on terms less favorable to shareholders rather than liquidating IAC. These interests include, among other things:

        [•] will be IAC’s designee to the board of directors of New IAC upon the effectiveness of the Merger. As a director, in the future [•] may receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the board of directors of New IAC determines to pay to its directors;

        Michael Singer, IAC’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, will be issued 125,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock at Closing of the Business Combination;

        unless IAC consummates an initial business combination, IAC’s officers, directors and the Sponsor will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount of available proceeds not deposited in the Trust Account (as of [•], IAC’s officers and directors have incurred aggregate out-of-pocket expenses of [•]);

        as a condition to the IAC IPO, pursuant to the letter agreements between the Sponsor and IAC, the Sponsor’s Founder Shares became subject to a lock-up (the “Founder Share Lock-Up”) whereby, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Founder Shares are not transferable or saleable (i) in the case of the founder shares until the earlier of (A) six months after the completion of our initial business combination, or (B) subsequent to our initial business combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the IAC Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 60 days after our initial business combination, or (y) the date on which IAC completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of IAC’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property, and (ii) in the case of the private placement warrants and any shares of IAC Class A common stock issued upon exercise thereof, until 30 days after the completion of IAC’s initial business combination (while the Founder Shares are not the same as the IAC Class A common stock, are subject to certain restrictions that are not applicable to the IAC Class A common stock, and may become worthless if IAC does not complete a business combination by July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent), the aggregate value of the 6,000,000 Founder Shares owned by IAC’s Sponsor and the Anchor Investors is estimated to be approximately $64.6 million, assuming the per share value of the Founder Shares is the same as the $10.76 closing price of the IAC Class A common stock on Nasdaq as of February 1, 2024). The Sponsor Lock Up Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2023, by and among IAC, Sponsor and Alpha Modus, see Exhibit 10.7 to this proxy statement/prospectus, modified the Founder Share Lock-Up to continue to and include the earlier of (i) the date that is 12 months after the Closing Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), or (ii) the date that the Closing Share Price (as defined in the Sponsor Lock Up Agreement) exceeds $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30-trading day period, the Sponsor agrees not to, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of eighty five percent (85%) of any shares of Common Stock held by the Sponsor as of the Effective Time, together with any (i) securities paid as dividends or distributions with respect to such securities or (ii) securities that are exchangeable or convertible into shares of Common Stock, owned directly by the Sponsor (including holding as a custodian) or with respect to which the Sponsor has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively, the “Covered Securities”; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, “Covered Securities” will not include an aggregate of fifteen percent (15%) of the shares of Common Stock owned by the Sponsor as of the Effective Time, which may be sold or otherwise transferred by the Sponsor without restriction pursuant to this Agreement;

        the Sponsor and the Underwriter purchased an aggregate of 8,700,000 warrants, each exercisable for one share of IAC Class A common stock at $11.50 per share, for a purchase price of $8,700,000, or $1.00 per warrant, in a private placement consummated simultaneously with the IAC IPO, which warrants will

90

Table of Contents

be worthless if a business combination is not consummated (although the warrants have certain rights that differ from the rights of holders of the Public Warrants, the aggregate value of the 7,500,000 private placement warrants held by the Sponsor is estimated to be approximately $0.15 million, assuming the per warrant value of the private placement warrants is the same as the $0.02 closing price of the Public Warrants on Nasdaq as of February 1, 2024);

        the Sponsor and the Underwriter have agreed that the private placement warrants, and all of their underlying securities, will not be sold or transferred by it until 30 days after IAC has completed a business combination, subject to limited exceptions;

        the fact that Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for its Founder Shares and such securities will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination;

        the fact that the Sponsor has agreed not to redeem any of their Founder Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

        if IAC does not complete an initial business combination by July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent), a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants will be included in the liquidating distribution to IAC’s public stockholders and the private placement warrants will expire worthless; and

        if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event IAC is unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor has agreed that they will be liable to IAC, on a pro rata basis based on the number of Founder Shares owned by them, if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to IAC, or a prospective target business with which IAC has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share, and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable from interest, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the trust account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable), nor will it apply to any claims under IAC’s indemnity of the underwriters of the initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Interests of Alpha Modus’ Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

When Alpha Modus stockholders and other interested persons consider the recommendation of its board of directors in favor of approval of the Business Combination, such persons should keep in mind that the directors and executive officers of Alpha Modus may have interests in the Business Combination and other proposals that may be different from, or in addition to, those of Alpha Modus stockholders generally. These interests include, among other things:

        That Alpha Modus’ executive officers are expected to become the executive officers of New IAC upon consummation of the Business Combination. Specifically, the following individuals who are currently executive officers of Alpha Modus will become officers of New IAC upon consummation of the Business Combination, serving in the offices set forth opposite their names:

Executive Officer Name

 

Office

William Alessi

 

Chief Executive Officer and Director

Chris Chumas

 

Chief Sales Officer

        That Alpha Modus’ executive officers have entered into employment arrangements that will become effective in connection with the Business Combination and which provide for payment of compensation to the officers once they become effective. Please see the section entitled “Executive and Director Compensation of Alpha Modus — Executive Employment Agreements” of this proxy statement/prospectus for further discussion.

        That, upon consummation of the Business Combination, loans by Janbella Group, LLC (expected to be approximately $1,400,000 as of Closing), which is an affiliate of William Alessi, Alpha Modus’ CEO and sole director, may be paid off by New IAC, and New IAC will issue to Janbella Group, LLC 1,392,308 shares of New IAC common stock.

91

Table of Contents

        That the sole member of Alpha Modus’ Board, Mr. Alessi, is expected to become a member of the New IAC Board upon consummation of the Business Combination.

        That entities or trusts deemed to be beneficially owned by Mr. Alesssi will receive 7,500,000 shares of New IAC Series C Preferred Stock in the Business Combination, and that this New IAC Series C Preferred Stock will rank senior to the IAC Class A common stock, will generally have priority upon liquidation, and may convert into more than 7,500,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock in some circumstances.

Alpha Modus’ board of directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Business Combination and the Business Combination Agreement.

Ownership of New IAC after the Business Combination

It is anticipated that, upon the completion of the Business Combination, IAC’s public stockholders will retain an aggregate ownership interest of approximately 3.8% of the outstanding capital stock of New IAC, the Sponsor will retain an aggregate ownership interest of approximately 33.3% of the outstanding capital stock of New IAC, and the Alpha Modus stockholders and debt holder will own approximately 54.9% of the outstanding capital stock of New IAC, immediately following the Closing. The foregoing ownership percentages with respect to New IAC following the Business Combination exclude any outstanding Warrants and assume that (i) there are no redemptions of any shares by IAC’s public stockholders in connection with the Business Combination, (ii) IAC does not engage in any kind of additional equity financing prior to the Closing, and (iii) no earnout shares are issued to the Alpha Modus stockholders or released to the Sponsor, as the applicable milestones relating thereto are not expected to be achieved within 60 days of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. If the actual facts are different than these assumptions (which they are likely to be), the percentage ownership retained by the IAC’s existing stockholders in New IAC will be different.

Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, upon the Closing, the IAC Charter will be amended and restated in accordance with the Amended and Restated Charter. See “The Amended and Restated Charter Proposal (Proposal 2).” We currently also expect that upon the Closing, IAC’s bylaws will be amended and restated promptly to:

        reflect necessary changes and to be consistent with the proposed Amended and Restated Charter; and

        make certain other changes that our board of directors deems appropriate for a public operating company.

Headquarters of the Combined Entity

New IAC’s headquarters will be located at 20311 Chartwell Center Dr., #1469, Cornelius, North Carolina, 28031.

Background of the Business Combination

The following is a discussion of the formation of IAC, the background of IAC’s efforts to effect an initial business combination, and its negotiations with and evaluation of Alpha Modus, the Business Combination Agreement and related matters. The terms of the Business Combination Agreement are the result of extensive arms’ length negotiations between IAC, Alpha Modus, and their respective representatives. The following is a brief description of the background of these negotiations and summarizes the key meetings and events that led to the signing of the Business Combination Agreement between IAC and Alpha Modus. The following chronology does not purport to catalogue every conversation among the parties to the Business Combination Agreement or their representatives.

IAC is a blank check company incorporated on April 20, 2021, as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. IAC’s sponsor is Insight Acquisition Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).

The registration statement for IAC’s Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) was declared effective on September 1, 2021. On September 7, 2021, IAC consummated its IPO of 24,000,000 units, generating gross proceeds of $240.0 million. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, IAC consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 7,500,000 and 1,200,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement

92

Table of Contents

Warrants”), to the Sponsor and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”) and Odeon Capital Group, LLC (“Odeon”), respectively, for an aggregate of 8,700,000 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating proceeds of $8.7 million.

Upon the closing of the IPO and the Private Placement, $241.2 million ($10.05 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and of the Private Placement Warrants in the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee.

The units were listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and traded under the ticker symbol “INAQ.U” beginning on September 2, 2021. Each unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. Only whole warrants will be exercisable. Insight Acquisition Sponsor LLC completed the sale of 7.5 million private placement warrants at a price of $1 per warrant with similar terms as the warrants sold in its IPO. Effective May 2, 2023, IAC transferred the listing of its securities from the NYSE to The Nasdaq Stock Market.

After the completion of the IPO, IAC commenced an active search for prospective businesses and assets to acquire. Michael Singer and Jeff Gary (“IAC Management”) reviewed an initial list of over 200 potential targets. IAC Management contacted individuals and representatives of a number of the entities included in this initial list of potential target candidates and were also contacted by representatives of other companies who had learned of IAC’s IPO. During the next 18 months, IAC Management, after extensive discussions and review, signed non-disclosure agreements with respect to a potential business combinations with approximately 12 prospective acquisition targets across a number of sectors including technology, financial services, energy, automotive and real estate brokerage. IAC Management and advisors spoke with and met via video conference and in-person meetings with management teams and board members of the 12 prospective acquisition targets. Over the period, by applying screening criteria, IAC Management reduced the list and negotiated non-binding Letters of Intent with 8 prospective targets, 3 of which were signed by the prospective targets. Of these three targets, IAC Management conducted significant due diligence including review of the targets’ management, stockholders, business model, valuation, balance sheet, historical financials and projections among other diligence reviews. For two of these potential targets, IAC Management further evaluated additional criteria, such as the anticipated transaction structure, tax considerations, public company readiness and valuation of the target company compared to prevailing public market peers. Throughout this period, IAC Management apprised the IAC Board of directors of the target screening process and the potential target pipeline. IAC Management and the IAC Board focused on three potential transactions during this period: Company A, Avila Energy and Alpha Modus.

Company A

In July 2022, a relationship of Mr. Singer offered to introduce him to the CEO of Company A, a west coast based, luxury residential real estate company. After his initial call with Company A’s CEO discussing a potential deSPAC transaction, IAC and Company A commenced a due diligence process and entered into a non-disclosure agreement to provide more extensive diligence. On September 18, 2022, the parties signed a non-binding LOI and explored financing opportunities with investors and bankers and developed strategic plans post-closing. In December 2022, the parties decided that the timing was not right for Company A to go public and ceased discussions.

Avila Energy

In early January 2023, a Cantor Fitzgerald banker contacted Mr. Singer to discuss an opportunity to transact with Avila Energy Corporation, an Alberta corporation (“Avila”). After an initial call with Avila’s CEO, IAC and Avila commenced a due diligence process and entered into a non-disclosure agreement to provide more extensive diligence. On January 26, 2023, IAC and Avila Energy entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent for a transaction that, if consummated, would result in the combined entity being publicly listed for trading on a major stock exchange in the United States.

On March 6, 2023 IAC held a special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of stockholders. At the Special Meeting, IAC’s stockholders were asked to vote on the following items: (i) a proposal to amend the Charter to extend the date by which IAC has to consummate a business combination for an additional one month, from March 7, 2023 to April 7, 2023 and thereafter, at the discretion of the board of directors of IAC and without a vote of the stockholders, up to five (5) times for an additional one month each time, for a total of up to five additional months to September 7, 2023, (ii) a proposal to amend IAC’s Charter to eliminate from the Charter the limitation that IAC may not redeem public shares to the extent that such redemption would result in IAC having net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of

93

Table of Contents

the Exchange Act) of less than $5,000,001 (the “Redemption Limitation”) in order to allow IAC to redeem public shares irrespective of whether such redemption would exceed the Redemption Limitation, (iii) a proposal to amend the Charter to provide for the right of a holder of Class B common stock of IAC, par value $0.0001 per share to convert such shares into shares of Class A common stock of IAC, par value $0.0001 per share on a one-for-one basis prior to the closing of a business combination at the election of the holder and (iv) a proposal to direct the chairman of the Special Meeting to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to approve each of the Charter amendment proposals. IAC’s stockholders approved each of the Charter amendment proposals, and in connection therewith, the holders of 21,151,393 Class A common stock, representing approximately 88.1% of IAC’s issued and outstanding Class A common stock, elected to redeem their shares. Following such redemptions, approximately $28,744,831 remained in the trust account and 2,848,607 shares of Class A common stock remained issued and outstanding.

On March 15, 2023, IAC and Avila provided an update on the transaction which included announcing that they have agreed to continue to negotiate the terms of a Transaction, including a definitive business combination agreement, on an exclusive basis with the intention of coming to a definitive agreement on or before March 24, 2023. The parties negotiated a definitive business combination agreement, and on March 28, 2023, IAC’s Board, after reviewing the draft business combination agreement and participating in a meeting with IAC Management, unanimously approved the draft business combination agreement. On April 3, 2023, IAC and Avila announced the execution of a business combination agreement between IAC and Avila (the “Avila BCA”), under which IAC would acquire Avila in an amalgamation pursuant to a court-approved plan of arrangement under Alberta law. Based on the pricing of US$10.30 per IAC share on March 30, 2023, the market value of the combined company was estimated to be US$192.6 million (US$10.30 share price multiplied by approximately 18,705,000 shares outstanding on closing).

On May 9, 2023, Avila publicly announced that its CFO unexpectedly resigned and an interim CFO was announced

In mid-May 2023, IAC Management learned that Micro Turbine Technology BV (“MTT”), an entity that licensed technology to Avila that was important to Avila’s business, had asserted that Avila had breached the license agreement. MTT send Avila a termination notice and Avila disputed the termination notice. Since the MTT license was significant to Avila’s business and the valuation of Avila business, thus this dispute caused concern to IAC.

On June 7, 2023, Avila publicly announced its acceptance of an initial financing commitment of $10 Million in convertible debentures. Then on June 9, 2023, Avila publicly announced that the financing announced on June 7th was progressing and anticipated to close in the next ten business days after the completion of the customary due diligence and the preparation of the required legal documentation. Thereafter on June 22, 2023, Avila publicly announced that as previously stated in its June 7, 2023 news release, Avila had agreed to enter into non-brokered private placement discussion with two groups of accredited investors located in the United States and continue to work towards the completion of the private placements totaling US $10,000,000 on or before July 15, 2023.

On June 26, 2023, Avila publicly announced that it reached a settlement with MTT, whereby the terms of Avila’s license agreement with MTT were modified. Based upon IAC’s analysis, there were material changes to the terms of the agreement including a significant reduction in Avila’s equity stake in MTT, Avila receiving a non-exclusive license versus an exclusive license and the substantial sales commitment which would total approximately $175 million and require significant capital investment by Avila to achieve these sales in this new business line (“Revised MTT Agreement”).

On June 26, 2023, IAC held a Board meeting to discuss sending a notice of default to the Company. Based on the Board’s view of the Revised MTT Agreement and the recommendation of IAC Management and counsel, the IAC Board unanimously agreed that Avila was in violation of the Avila BCA and authorize management to send Avila notice that Avila was in default of the Avila BCA.

On June 26, 2023, IAC sent a notice of default to Avila stating that IAC intended to terminate the Avila BCA if such alleged default was not cured by July 26, 2023. From mid July 2023 to early August 2023 IAC Management and Avila had numerous discussions concerning the status of the Avila BCA. On August 10, 2023, Avila and IAC entered into an agreement to mutually agreed to terminate the Avila BCA, effective immediately. As part of the termination of the Avila BCA, Avila has agreed to pay IAC US$300,000 as partial reimbursement of IAC’s expenses, prior to April 1, 2024.

The AM Term Sheet contained a 12 month lock-up on all shares post-closing except for 15% of those shares which were freely tradable after closing subject to a registration statement. If the stock price equalled or exceeded $12 per share, the lock-up would be released.

        Polar Asset Management offered a preliminary financing proposal to IAC Sponsor to receive up to $1 million in financing to pay for working capital and certain transaction expenses prior to closing the transaction.

        William Alessi returned a revised copy of the AM Term Sheet with modest revisions to the IAC Sponsor earnout of 500,000 shares and proposed increasing the number of shares the Sponsor would for financing to 1 million.

The IAC Board considered and evaluated a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed below. In light of the number and wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination, the IAC Board did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that it considered in reaching its determination and supporting its decision. IAC Management had numerous conversations with William Alessi related to the strength of Alpha Modus’ artificial intelligence patents for retailers and its ability to license to the patents. William Alessi also informed IAC Management that numerous retailers were currently infringing on Alpha Modus’ patents and that such retailers would be liable to Alpha Modus for infringing on its patents. Mr. Alessi informed IAC Management that a top patent infringement law firm was willing to represent Alpha Modus to prosecute a major retail chain for infringing on Alpha Modus’ patents. Mr. Alessi told IAC Management that Alpha Modus estimates the potential of $300 million in damages from initial patent infringement cases concerning Alpha Modus’ current patents and over $1 billion in estimated damages over the life of its patents currently owned. The IAC Board is not aware of the assumptions underlying the damages estimates, and the estimates cover a lengthy forecast period. Patent infringement litigation is inherently risky and expensive, it is difficult to predict the outcomes of patent litigation, and the outcomes of patent infringement litigation efforts may be unfavorable to Alpha Modus. Although the IAC Board considered Alpha Modus’s estimates to be reasonable in light of the nature of the technology underlying Alpha Modus’ patent portfolio and the use of similar technology in the retail industry, the Board did not perform any further analysis of the estimates, and the estimates may not be reliable.

Based on the long life of Alpha Modus’ patents, which do not expire until 2034 and 2037, the future potential licensing revenue agreements and the future potential damages recoverable in the patent infringement cases, IAC Management concluded that the consideration of $110 million, payable through the issuance of 11 million shares of IAC Class common stock, is fair and reasonable. IAC Management explained and discussed with the IAC Board the basis of IAC Management’s belief that the consideration of $110 million for Alpha Modus is fair and reasonable. The IAC Board acknowledged and accepted IAC Management’s conclusion and approved and authorized the execution of the BCA, because the IAC Board believed that the Business Combination was in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders. The IAC Board viewed its decision as being based on all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by it. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. This explanation of the IAC Board’s reasons for the Business Combination and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” herein.

The IAC Board considered a number of factors pertaining to Alpha Modus and the Business Combination as generally supporting its decision to enter into the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including, but not limited to, the following material factors:

Portfolio of consumer retail, artificial intelligence patents.    Alpha Modus’ portfolio of six patents with two additional patents pending cover systems for monitoring and analyzing consumer purchasing behavior in real-time to drive sales via engaging digital customer experiences. The patents cover a variety of advertising features, including the presentation and display of relevant and targeted advertising that is based on users/customers shopping habits, search history or other criteria. This can include a retail store system that features user eye tracking, object identification of goods on shelves and open, MAC address tracking, customer engagement with interactive output displays with demographic intelligence, panels throughout store at product, automated customer assistance at shelf and customer purchase at shelf. Alpha Modus uses Artificial Intelligence as part of its technology to quickly track consumer behavior in the store and uses this AI technology to quickly offer consumers in-store digital offerings.

Potential judgements against large, well-branded retailers.    Alpha Modus estimates potential for $300 million in damages from initial patent infringement cases and over $1 billion in estimated damages over the life of the patents currently owned. In preparation for and in connection with its patent litigation efforts, Alpha Modus internally commissioned a confidential patent infringement damages assessment from a third-party patent infringement damages expert, and Alpha Modus then provided IAC Management with the conclusions of that expert as Alpha Modus’s own estimates of potential patent infringement damages. The IAC Board is not aware of the assumptions underlying the damages estimates, the estimates cover a lengthy forecast period, and the estimates may not be reliable. Patent infringement litigation is inherently risky and expensive, it is difficult to predict the outcomes of patent litigation, and the outcomes of patent infringement litigation efforts may be unfavorable to Alpha Modus. Although the IAC Board considered Alpha Modus’s estimates to be reasonable in light of the nature of the technology underlying Alpha Modus’ patent portfolio and the use of similar technology in the retail industry, the IAC Board did not perform any further analysis of the estimates.

Long-life Patents.    Alpha Modus’ patents have a long life before they expire. Alpha Modus’ first patent does not expire until July 2034 and its final patent expires in May 2037.

Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) is an attractive market sector.    The Board considers AI to be a very attractive sector with opportunities for substantial disruption and very high growth rates.

Management alignment with shareholders’ interests and an experienced team.    Alpha Modus led by CEO William Alessi was the first FinTech use case by IBM Watson, and Alpha Modus received the prestigious IBM Beacon Award. Mr. Alessi is expected to own in excess of 55% of the combined company after the consummation of the business combination which aligns his interest with all other shareholders. Mr. Alessi has decades of experience in the public financial markets and in the global technology solutions space.

Large addressable TAM.    The total addressable market (“TAM”) for AI solutions in the consumer retail space is estimated at $40 billion according to Insider Intelligence.

Growth opportunities.    Alpha Modus believes and has plans for significant growth of its patent portfolio, licensing agreements and developing proprietary artificial intelligence product offerings organically and via acquisitions.

Represented by an experienced patent litigation law firm working on contingency.    Alpha Modus’ patent litigation law firm is Dickinson Wright and has represented Alpha Modus for many years on a contingency basis demonstrating their confidence in winning cases. It also provides for a variable cost structure related to a large potential expense category for Alpha Modus.

Negotiated transaction.    The financial and other terms of the Business Combination Agreement were the product of arm’s length negotiations between representatives of the Sponsor and Alpha Modus without an auction process. IAC Management had numerous conversations with William Alessi related to the strength of Alpha Modus’ artificial intelligence patents for retailers and its ability to license to the patents. William Alessi also informed IAC Management that numerous retailers were currently infringing on Alpha Modus’ patents and that such retailers would be liable to Alpha Modus for infringing on its patents.

Between October 17, 2023, and the end of January 2024, Mr. Alessi from Alpha Modus, Mr. Singer and Mr. Gary from IAC Management, Mr. Prestiano from Loeb, and Mr. Brunson from BCJ had weekly calls to discuss the status of fund-raising efforts by Alpha Modus, and the status of IAC’s registration statement on Form S-4. On January 23, 2024, Mr. Alessi from Alpha Modus, Mr. Singer and Mr. Gary from IAC Management, Mr. Prestiano from Loeb, and Mr. Brunson from BCJ telephonically discussed Polar’s current funding of IAC, Polar’s requirement to be repaid in full and issued 1 million shares of common stock of the combined company at closing of the Business Combination, and Polar potentially purchasing 1 million shares of common stock from Alpha Modus immediately instead of receiving shares of the combined company at closing. On February 6, 2024, the same individuals discussed the status of the amendment of the registration statement to address SEC comments and revisited the Polar funding and subscription discussion. Following the call, Mr. Brunson sent Mr. Prestiano a draft of a subscription agreement directly between Polar and Alpha Modus pursuant to which Polar would purchase 1 million shares of Alpha Modus common stock for $25,000 (the “AM Subscription Agreement”), as well as a draft amendment to Polar’s original subscription agreement with IAC, pursuant to which Polar would no longer be issued 1 million shares of the combined company at closing of the Business Combination (the “Amendment”). Between February 6, 2024, and April 26, 2024, Mr. Singer from IAC, after input from Loeb, Mr. Alessi, and BCJ negotiated the terms of the AM Subscription Agreement and Polar IAC Subscription Agreement Amendment directly with Polar.

On or about April 26, 2024, Polar entered into the AM subscription agreement to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Alpha Modus common stock from Alpha Modus for $25,000, which was accepted by Alpha Modus on May 16, 2024. On May 15, 2024, IAC, the Sponsor and Polar entered into the Amendment pursuant to which Polar’s aggregate advance under the original Polar-IAC Subscription Agreement was reduced from $1,000,000 to $975,000, and in the event IAC consummates the business combination with Alpha Modus, then IAC will not be obligated to issue to Polar one share of IAC Class A Common Stock for each dollar Polar advances to IAC under the original Polar Subscription Agreement at the closing of the business combination. However, if IAC consummates a business combination with an entity other than Alpha Modus, then IAC is obligated to issue to Polar one share of IAC Class A Common Stock for each dollar Polar advances to IAC under the Subscription Agreement at the closing of the business combination with an entity other than Alpha Modus. The foregoing descriptions of the AM Subscription Agreement and Amendment do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the terms and conditions of the actual AM Subscription Agreement and Amendment, copies of which are incorporated by reference to Exhibits 10.15 and 10.11 hereto, respectively.

On March 19, 2024, Mr. Alessi from Alpha Modus, Mr. Singer and Mr. Gary from IAC Management, Mr. Prestiano from Loeb, and Mr. Brunson from BCJ telephonically discussed restructuring the business combination terms in light of the likelihood that the business combination would not close by June 7, 2024, Mr. Alessi’s increased funding of transaction costs, and the likelihood that the combined company would not be able to raise non-debt, equity-only funding at closing. The discussion included (i) Mr. Alessi’s entities exchanging a portion of their shares of Alpha Modus common stock into the same number of shares of preferred stock of Alpha Modus, with such preferred stock convertible at the lesser of $10.00 per share or the market price at the time of conversion, but with such preferred stock not convertible for some period of time, and (ii) shares of preferred stock of IAC having identical rights being issued in the business combination in exchange for shares of Alpha Modus preferred stock. On or about March 28, 2024, Mr. Alessi sent Mr. Singer, Mr. Gary, and Mr. Prestiano a proposed Certificate of Designation of Alpha Modus preferred stock to contemplate the revised business combination structure. On April 22, 2024, Mr. Alessi and Mr. Singer exchanged emails negotiating the terms of the preferred stock conversion, and Mr. Alessi indicated that he would agree that the preferred stock would not be convertible into common stock for 18 months so long as certain default trigger events have not occurred. Since the preferred stock would generally convert into common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $10.00/share or conversion price calculated based on the trading price of the common stock at the time of conversion, Mr. Alessi (who will be the CEO of the combined company, and a member of its Board of

100

Table of Contents

Directors, after closing of the Business Combination), as the beneficial owner of the preferred stock, has a conflict of interest with the combined company’s common stockholders as the preferred shares could convert into more than 7,500,000 shares of common stock depending on the trading price of the common stock at the time of conversion and whether default trigger events have occurred at the time of conversion.

On April 23, 2024, Mr. Alessi from Alpha Modus, Mr. Singer from IAC Management, Mr. Prestiano and Alex Weniger-Araujo from Loeb, and Mr. Brunson from BCJ telephonically discussed the preferred stock and an amendment of the AM BCA to contemplate (i) Alpha Modus’s issuance of preferred stock to Mr. Alessi’s entity, and the issuance of preferred stock of IAC in the Business Combination in exchange for such preferred stock, (ii) Alpha Modus’s issuances of common stock to its prior capital markets advisor, its new capital markets advisor, Maxim Group LLC, and Janbella (Mr. Alessi’s entity) in consideration of Janbella’s extension of the maturity date of its promissory note that matured in January 2024, as well as Janbella’s commitment to fund an additional $200,000 to Alpha Modus to facilitate closing of the Business Combination, (iii) the issuance of shares to IAC’s original IPO underwriters at closing of the Business Combination in lieu of payment in cash of deferred underwriting compensation due to them at closing, (iv) eliminating the obligation to issue Polar 1 million shares of common stock at closing since Polar had already purchased 1,000,000 shares of Alpha Modus common stock, (v) modifying the number of shares of Janbella common stock to be issued at closing, and (vi) eliminating the condition to closing requiring Polar and Janbella to be repaid in full at closing. Between April 23, 2024, and June 21, 2024, on each Tuesday and Friday afternoon, Mr. Alessi from Alpha Modus, Mr. Singer from IAC Management, Mr. Prestiano and Alex Weniger-Araujo from Loeb, and Mr. Brunson from BCJ had standing calls to telephonically discuss the status of each company’s financial statement, the status of the amendment of the AM BCA, and the status of the registration statement regarding the Business Combination.

On or about April 29, 2024, Mr. Alessi from Alpha Modus and Mr. Singer from IAC Management discussed the combined company at closing of the Business Combination issuing 125,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Singer in satisfaction of amounts owed by IAC. On April 30, 2024, Mr. Brunson from BCJ sent an initial draft of proposed revisions to the AM BCA to Mr. Prestiano and Mr. Weniger-Araujo from Loeb for review by IAC. On May 14, 2024, Mr. Prestiano sent an initial draft of the amendment of the AM BCA to Mr. Brunson from BCJ for review. On May 23, 2024, Mr. Singer from IAC Management emailed Mr. Alessi, Mr. Prestiano and Mr. Brunson a draft of a settlement agreement to be entered by IAC and each of IAC’s original IPO underwriters, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”) and Odeon Capital Group LLC (“Odeon”), pursuant to which Cantor would be issued 210,000 shares of combined company common stock at closing of the Business Combination, and Odeon would be issued 90,000 shares of combined company common stock at closing, in satisfaction of deferred underwriting compensation owed to Cantor and Odeon and otherwise required to be paid in cash at closing. Between May 23, 2024, and June 20, 2024, IAC, Alpha Modus, and Cantor negotiated the terms of the settlement. On June 20, 2024, IAC entered into a Settlement Agreement with Odeon (the “Odeon Settlement Agreement”) providing that (i) Odeon will be issued 90,000 shares of IAC common stock at the closing of the Business Combination, and (ii) Odeon will waive the right to any further underwriting commission or other payment by IAC under the Underwriting Agreement. IAC also entered into a Fee Modification Agreement with Cantor on June 20, 2024 (the “Cantor Fee Modification Agreement”), providing that (i) Cantor will be issued 210,000 shares of IAC common stock at the closing of the Business Combination, (ii) Cantor will waive the right to any further underwriting commission or other payment by IAC under the Underwriting Agreement, (iii) IAC will use its best efforts to file a registration statement with the SEC registering Cantor’s shares within 45 days of closing and cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC no later than 180 days after closing, (iv) IAC will generally be liable to Cantor for liquidated damages of $4,000,000 if IAC has not complied with its resale registration obligations such that Cantor is unable to freely trade its shares within 9 months of closing.

On June 21, 2024, IAC, Alpha Modus and Merger Sub entered into an amendment to the AM BCA (the “BCA Amendment”). The BCA Amendment (i) provides that each share of Alpha Modus’ 6,145,000 shares common stock outstanding prior to the business combination will be exchanged for the right to receive 1 share of IAC Class A common stock, and a contingent right to receive a pro rata portion of the 2,200,000 earnout shares; (ii) provides that each share of Alpha Modus’ 7,500,000 shares Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding prior to the business combination will be exchanged for the right to receive 1 share of IAC Series C Preferred Stock (having substantially the same rights as the Alpha Modus Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock), and a contingent right to receive a pro rata portion of the 2,200,000 earnout shares; (iii) eliminates the closing condition that the combined company is obligated to pay off Polar’s indebtedness (up to a maximum of $1,000,000) and Janbella Group, LLC’s (“Janbella”) indebtedness (up to a maximum of $1,000,000) at closing of the business combination; (iv) eliminates the combined company’s obligation to issue each of Polar and Janbella at closing a number of shares

101

Table of Contents

of common stock equal to the amount of indebtedness paid off divided by $1.00; (v) requires the combined company to issue the following shares of common stock at closing: (a) 1,392,308 shares to Janbella, (b) 210,000 shares to Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., (c) 90,000 shares to Odeon Group, LLC, and (d) 125,000 shares to Michael Singer (the “Singer Shares”); and (vi) extends the “Outside Date” (the date by which the business combination must occur, after which either the Company or Alpha Modus may terminate the AM BCA by providing written notice to the other) to September 9, 2024, from June 7, 2024. On that same day, IAC, the Sponsor, Mr. Singer and Alpha Modus entered into a Fee Waiver Agreement (the “Singer Fee Waiver Agreement”) providing that Mr. Singer would be issued the Singer Shares at closing of the Business Combination, and the Sponsor and Mr. Singer waived, effective upon the issuance of the Singer Shares at closing of the Business Combination, the right to any amounts owed to them for services provided to IAC pursuant to (i) the September 1, 2021, Sponsor payment agreement pursuant to which IAC agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to or incurred by members of IAC’s management team until the earlier of IAC’s consummation of a business combination and IAC’s liquidation, and (ii) IAC’s prior agreement to pay members of IAC’s management team, including Mr. Singer, up to $15,000 per month, through the earlier of IAC’s consummation of a business combination and IAC’s liquidation, for services rendered by them to IAC.

The foregoing description of the BCA Amendment, Singer Fee Waiver Agreement, Odeon Settlement Agreement, and Cantor Fee Modification Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the terms and conditions of each of the actual agreements, copies of which are incorporated by reference to Exhibit 2.3, Exhibit 10.17, Exhibit 10.18, and Exhibit 10.19, respectively, hereto.

Sponsor and IAC’s Directors and Officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different than and my conflict with the interests of IAC’s public stockholders.

In considering the recommendation of the IAC Board to vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination, stockholders should keep in mind that the Sponsor and IAC’s directors and executive officers have interests in such Proposals that are different from, or in addition to, those of IAC’s stockholders generally. In particular if the Business Combination with Alpha Modus or another business combination is not consummated by July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent), IAC will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding shares of IAC’s Class A Common Stock for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and the IAC’s Board, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, the 6,000,000 shares of IAC Class A Common Stock held by the Sponsor and some portion held by IAC’s directors, officers and anchor investors which were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 prior to IAC’s initial public offering would become worthless.

The Sponsor, which is affiliated with certain of IAC’s directors and officers, purchased 7,500,000 private warrants from IAC for an aggregate purchase price of $7,500,000 (or $1.00 per warrant) simultaneously with the consummation of IAC’s initial public offering. The private warrants will become worthless if IAC does not consummate a business combination by July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent).

The Sponsor and IAC’s officers and directors and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on IAC behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However, if IAC fails to consummate a business combination within the required period, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, IAC may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination with Alpha Modus or another business combination is not completed by September X, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the IAC Board). As of October X, 2023, the Record Date, the Sponsor and IAC Acquisition Corp officers and directors and their affiliates had incurred no unpaid reimbursable expenses.

The Business Combination Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of IAC current directors and officers and the continuation of directors and officers liability insurance covering IAC current directors and officers.

Table of Contents

The IAC Board also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors related to Alpha Modus’ business and prospects and related to the Business Combination including, but not limited to, the following:

Conflicts of Interest.    The Sponsor, directors and officers of IAC may have certain conflicts of interest with respect to the Business Combination as described in the section “Interests of IAC’s Sponsor, Directors and Officers in the Business Combination.” IAC does not believe however that the pre-existing fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of its Sponsor, directors and officers materially affected its search for a target nor will materially impact its ability to complete the proposed Business Combination because in most cases the affiliated companies are closely held entities controlled by the officer or director or the nature of the affiliated company’s business is such that it is unlikely that a conflict will arise. The IAC Board considered the potential conflicts of interest and determined such potential conflicts were not an impediment to the Business Combination.

Redemption risk.    The potential that a significant number of IAC stockholders elect to redeem their shares of IAC Class A Common Stock prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and pursuant to the Current Charter, which would reduce the gross proceeds to Alpha Modus from the Business Combination, which could hinder Alpha Modus’ ability to continue its development.

Unsuccessful Patent Litigation.    There is no assurance that Alpha Modus will be successful in its patent litigation. Failure to prevail in patent litigation would meaningfully negatively impact future revenues.

Pre-Revenue.    Alpha Modus today has not yet generated revenues and needs to demonstrate a future ability to produce revenues.

Going Concern.    Although Alpha Modus’ audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, were prepared under the assumption that it would continue operations as a going concern, the report of its independent registered public accounting firm that accompanies its financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, contains a going concern qualification in which such firm expressed substantial doubt about Alpha Modus’ ability to continue as a going concern, based on its financial statements and results at that time, including its recurring losses from operations and net capital deficiency. At the time the IAC Board approved the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the IAC Board was not aware of the going concern opinion disclosed on Alpha Mondus’ audited financial statement for the year ended December 31, 2022. However the IAC Board was aware that Alpha Modus did not have any revenues and that William Alessi, its CEO and majority shareholder, was funding the operations of Alpha Modus. The IAC Board approved the Business Combination Agreement despite the poor financial condition of Alpha Modus, because Alpha Modus did not require much money to maintain operations and the future success of Alpha Modus depended upon its ability to license its technology and the revenues to be generated from the prosecution of claims of patent infringement against numerous retailers.

Value of the Patent Portfolio could be worth substantially less than the Company believes.    While the Company believes its patent portfolio has meaningful value in terms of licensing potential, the Company may fail to realize this value potential with potential licensees.

Management team has no prior Experience Managing a Public Company and is a lean team.    While the management team has had prior success, it has not managed a public company. Also the Company plans to maintain a lean team of 6 – 10 professionals since it is relying on a licensing strategy which does not require significant numbers of personnel.

The Company has Limited to Little Cash on the Balance Sheet.    The Company has a low cash balance as of September 30, 2023, and is reliant in the near term on funding from its CEO. The Company will require additional capital to be able to pay for transaction expenses and to fund its future operations.

Exclusivity.    The fact that the Business Combination Agreement includes an exclusivity provision that prohibits IAC from soliciting other business combination proposals, which restricts IAC’s ability, so long as the Business Combination Agreement is in effect, to consider other potential business combinations.

Stockholder vote.    The risk that holders of IAC Class A Common Stock may not approve the Business Combination Proposal, thus preventing the consummation of the Business Combination.

103

Table of Contents

Macroeconomic risks.    The risk that the future financial performance of the Alpha Modus may not meet the IAC Board’s expectations due to factors in Alpha Modus’ control or out of its control, including economic cycles or other macroeconomic factors.

Closing conditions.    The fact that completion of the Business Combination is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not within Alpha Modus’ control, including approval by IAC stockholders and IAC’s continued listing on a national securities exchange.

Litigation challenging the Business Combination.    The possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the Business Combination.

Fees and expenses.    The expected fees and expenses associated with the Business Combination, some of which would be payable regardless of whether the Business Combination is ultimately consummated. IAC signed a loan agreement with Polar Asset Management for up to $1 million to pay for IAC’s working capital and expenses prior to closing. Alpha Modus is taking the lead on legal documents and other work required including the S-4 and registration and proxy expenses which will help reduce IAC’s expenses.

In addition to considering the factors described above, the IAC Board also considered other factors including, without limitation:

Interests of certain persons.    The Sponsor, the members of the IAC’s Board and executive officers of IAC and the Sponsor have interests in the Business Combination Proposal, the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus and the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of IAC stockholders generally. The IAC Board reviewed and considered these interests during the negotiation of the Business Combination Agreement and in evaluating and unanimously approving, as members of the IAC Board, the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, including the Business Combination. See “Interests of the Sponsor and IAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination. Since the Sponsor and IAC’s officers and directors who are members of the Sponsor have interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of the public stockholders, a conflict of interest may have existed in determining whether the Business Combination with Alpha Modus is appropriate as a business combination. Such interests include that the Sponsor will lose its entire investment in us if our business combination is not completed.”

Other risks.    The various risks associated with the Business Combination, the business of Alpha Modus and the business of IAC, as described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” of this proxy statement/prospectus. This includes that Alpha Modus currently has no revenues and faces uncertainties in future revenues both in timing and amounts.

Conclusion

The IAC Board concluded that the potential benefits expected to be received by IAC and its stockholders as a result of the Business Combination outweighed the potentially negative effects of not consummating the Business Combination and allowing IAC to expire. Accordingly, the IAC Board unanimously resolved (a) that it was in the best interests of IAC and its stockholders, and that it was advisable, to enter into the Business Combination Agreement and the ancillary documents to which IAC is or will be a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Merger), (b) to adopt and approve the execution, delivery and performance by IAC of the Business Combination Agreement, the ancillary documents to which IAC is or will be a party and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Merger), (c) to recommend that the IAC stockholders entitled to vote thereon vote in favor of each of Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Advisory Charter Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal and (d) to direct that each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Advisory Charter Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal be submitted to the IAC stockholders for approval.

The foregoing discussion of material factors considered by the IAC Board is not intended to be exhaustive, but sets forth the principal factors considered by the directors.

In light of the foregoing, as described above under “The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — Timeline of the Business Combination”, the IAC Board unanimously approved the Business Combination and the transactions contemplated thereunder, including the Business Combination, on October 13, 2023. In reaching its unanimous resolution, the directors determined (i) that the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, including

104

Table of Contents

the proposed Merger, are advisable, and in the best interests of IAC and its stockholders, and (ii) to recommend that its stockholders adopt and approve the Business Combination Agreement and approve the Merger contemplated therein, the IAC Board considered a range of factors, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed below. The IAC Board reviewed and considered positive factors as well as uncertainties, risks and other potentially negative factors concerning Alpha Modus and the Business Combination. In light of the number and wide variety of factors, the IAC Board did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it considered in reaching its determination. The IAC Board viewed its position as being based on all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by it. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. This explanation of IAC’s reasons for the Business Combination and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

IAC Management did not obtain or present a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with its determination to approve the Business Combination. As noted above, IAC’s officers and directors have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies from a wide range of industries and have concluded that their experience and backgrounds enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the business combination with Alpha Modus. In addition, IAC’s officers and directors and its advisors have experience with mergers and acquisitions. However, the IAC Board are not patent or intellectual property experts and do not have prior experience in evaluating patent infringement litigation or in valuing intellectual property. Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of the IAC’s management in valuing Alpha Modus’ business and assuming the risk that the IAC Board may not have properly understood management’s view of Alpha Modus’ value.

Satisfaction of 80% Test

It is a requirement under Nasdaq listing rules that any business acquired by IAC have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the Trust Account at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for an initial business combination. Based on the financial analysis of Alpha Modus considered in approving the transaction, [including primarily a comparison of comparable companies,] IAC’s board of directors determined that Alpha Modus had a fair market value of approximately $[•]. As of October 13, 2023, the date the Business Combination Agreement was executed, the balance of the funds in the Trust Account was approximately $[•] million, and the threshold amount for satisfaction of the 80% test was therefore approximately $[•] million. Accordingly, the IAC’s board of directors determined that such test was met. IAC’s board of directors believes that the financial skills and background of its members qualify it to conclude that the Business Combination with met this test.

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

Under any of the redemption scenarios, the Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with GAAP. Alpha Modus has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances: (i) Alpha Modus’ stockholders will have [•]% of the voting power under the no redemption scenario and [•]% of the voting power under the maximum redemption scenario; (ii) Alpha Modus will appoint the majority of the board of directors of New IAC; (iii) Alpha Modus’ existing management will comprise the management of New IAC; and (iv) Alpha Modus will comprise the ongoing operations of New IAC.

Under this method of accounting, IAC will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Alpha Modus issuing stock for the net assets of IAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of IAC will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

Potential Purchases of Public Shares

In connection with the stockholder vote to approve the proposed Business Combination, the Sponsor, directors, officers, or advisors or their respective affiliates may privately negotiate transactions to purchase shares from stockholders who would have otherwise elected to have their shares redeemed in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules for a per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. In the event that the Sponsor or IAC’s directors, officers or advisors or their respective affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions, such

105

Table of Contents

privately negotiated purchases will be effected subject to the following conditions (1) at purchase prices that are no higher than the price offered through IAC’s redemption process; (2) the securities purchased will not be voted in favor of approving the business combination transaction; (3) the purchaser of such securities will waive any redemption rights in connection with such purchased securities; and (4) IAC will disclose in a Current Report on Form 8-K, prior to the IAC stockholder meeting to approve the business combination transaction, the following: (i) the amount of securities purchased outside of the redemption offer by the Sponsor or IAC’s directors, officers or advisors or their respective affiliates, along with the purchase price; (ii) the purpose of the purchases by the Sponsor or IAC’s directors, officers or advisors or their respective affiliates; (iii) the impact, if any, of the purchases by the Sponsor or IAC’s directors, officers or advisors or their respective affiliates on the likelihood that the business combination transaction will be approved; (iv) the identities of stockholders who sold to the Sponsor or IAC’s directors, officers or advisors or their respective affiliates (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of stockholders (e.g., 5% security holders) who sold to the Sponsor or IAC’s directors, officers or advisors or their respective affiliates Sponsor or IAC’s directors, officers or advisors or their respective affiliates; and (v) the number of securities for which the IAC has received redemption requests pursuant to its redemption offer. None of IAC’s directors, officers or advisors or their respective affiliates will make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller or during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act.

There is no limit on the number of shares the Sponsor, directors, officers or advisors or their affiliates may purchase in such transactions, subject to compliance with applicable laws and Nasdaq rules. However, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds held in the trust account will be used to purchase shares or public warrants in such transactions. Such persons will be subject to restrictions in making such purchases when they are in possession of any material nonpublic information not disclosed to the seller or if such purchases are prohibited by Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. We do not currently anticipate that such purchases, if any, would constitute a tender offer subject to the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act or a going-private transaction subject to the going-private rules under the Exchange Act; however, if the purchasers determine at the time of any such purchases that the purchases are subject to such rules, the purchasers will comply with such rules. We expect any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchases are subject to such reporting requirements.

The purpose of any such purchases of shares of Class A common stock could be to satisfy a closing condition in the Business Combination Agreement, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. Any such purchases of our securities may result in the completion of the Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our shares of Class A common stock or public warrants may be reduced and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, which may make it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange. See Risk Factor — The Company and the Company’s Sponsor, directors, officers or advisors, or their affiliates, may purchase shares in connection with the Transactions, which may reduce the Company’s public “float” of its common stock and the number of beneficial holders that could adversely affect the Company’s ability to qualify for Nasdaq’s listing standards.

Regulatory Matters

Under the HSR Act and the rules that have been promulgated thereunder by the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), certain transactions may not be consummated unless notifications have been given and information has been furnished to the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the FTC and certain statutory waiting period requirements have been satisfied. The Business Combination is subject to these requirements and may not be completed until the expiration of a 30-day waiting period following the filing of the required Notification and Report Forms with the Antitrust Division and the FTC or until early termination is granted. If the FTC or the DOJ issues a Second Request, the waiting period with respect to the Business Combination will be extended for an additional period of 30 calendar days, which will begin on the date on which IAC and Alpha Modus each certify compliance with the Second Request. Complying with a Second Request can take a significant period of time.

At any time before or after consummation of the Business Combination, notwithstanding termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, the DOJ and the FTC could take such action under applicable antitrust laws as each deems necessary or desirable, including seeking to enjoin the consummation of the Business Combination, to rescind the Business Combination or to conditionally permit completion of the Business Combination subject to

106

Table of Contents

regulatory conditions or other remedies. In addition, non-U.S. regulatory bodies and U.S. state attorneys general could take action under other applicable regulatory laws as they deem necessary or desirable, including, without limitation, seeking to enjoin or otherwise prevent the completion of the Business Combination or permitting completion subject to regulatory conditions. Private parties may also seek to take legal action under the antitrust laws under certain circumstances. There can be no assurance that the DOJ, the FTC, any state attorney general, or any other government authority will not attempt to challenge the Business Combination on antitrust grounds, and, if such a challenge is made, there can be no assurance as to its result. Neither IAC nor Alpha Modus is aware of any material regulatory approvals or actions that are required for completion of the Business Combination other than the expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act. It is presently contemplated that if any such additional regulatory approvals or actions are required, those approvals or actions will be sought. There can be no assurance, however, that any additional approvals or actions will be obtained.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations for (i) of the exercise of redemption rights by U.S. holders and Non-U.S. holders (each, as defined below) of IAC Class A common stock, and (ii) of the Business Combination to U.S. holders and Non-U.S. holders of Alpha Modus stock, and (iii) following the Business Combination, of the ownership and disposition of New IAC common stock received in the Business Combination. This discussion applies only to IAC Class A common stock, New IAC common stock or Alpha Modus stock, as applicable, that is held as a capital asset for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This discussion is limited to U.S. federal income tax considerations, and does not address estate or any gift tax considerations or considerations arising under the tax laws of any state, local or non-U.S. jurisdiction. This discussion does not describe all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to you in light of your particular circumstances, including the alternative minimum tax, the Medicare tax on certain investment income and the different consequences that may apply if you are subject to special rules that apply to certain types of investors, such as:

        financial institutions or financial services entities;

        broker dealers;

        insurance companies;

        dealers or traders in securities subject to a mark-to-market method of accounting with respect to shares of IAC Class A common stock, New IAC common stock or Alpha Modus stock;

        persons holding IAC Class A common stock, New IAC common stock or Alpha Modus stock as part of a “straddle,” hedge, integrated transaction or similar transaction;

        U.S. holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

        “specified foreign corporations” (including “controlled foreign corporations”), “passive foreign investment companies” and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;

        U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the U.S.;

        governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

        subchapter S corporations, partnerships or other pass-through entities or investors in such entities;

        regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;

        persons subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code;

        persons who received their shares of IAC Class A common stock, New IAC common stock or Alpha Modus common stock through the issuance of restricted stock under an equity incentive plan or through a tax-qualified retirement plan or otherwise as compensation;

        persons who own (directly or through attribution) 5% or more (by vote or value) of the outstanding shares of IAC Class A common stock or Alpha Modus, or, after the business combination, the issued New IAC common stock (excluding treasury shares);

107

Table of Contents

        persons holding IAC Class A common stock or Alpha Modus stock eligible for the benefits of Sections 1045 or 1202 of the Code;

        partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

        the Sponsor or its affiliates; and

        tax-exempt entities, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, or other tax-deferred accounts.

If you are a partnership (or other pass-through entity) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of your partners (or other owners) will generally depend on the status of the partners and your activities. Partnerships and their partners (or other owners) should consult their tax advisors with respect to the consequences to them under the circumstances described herein.

This discussion is based on the Code and administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations as of the date hereof, changes to any of which subsequent to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus may affect the tax consequences described herein. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a contrary position. This discussion does not address any aspect of state, local or non-U.S. taxation, or any U.S. federal taxes other than income taxes (such as gift and estate taxes). You are urged to consult your tax advisor with respect to the application of U.S. federal tax laws to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction.

We have not sought, and do not expect to seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree with the discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulations, administrative rulings or court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of shares of IAC Class A common stock, New IAC common stock or Alpha Modus stock who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

        an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

        a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

        an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation purposes regardless of its source; or

        an entity treated as a trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes if (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust, and one or more such U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust or (ii) it has a valid election in effect under Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

A “Non-U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of IAC Class A common stock, New IAC common stock or Alpha Modus stock who, or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

        a non-resident alien individual, other than certain former citizens and residents of the United States subject to U.S. tax as expatriates;

        a foreign corporation; or

        an estate or trust that is not a U.S. holder.

THIS SUMMARY DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OR DESCRIPTION OF ALL POTENTIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF AN EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS, THE BUSINESS COMBINATION OR THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF NEW IAC COMMON STOCK. IN ADDITION, THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF IAC CLASS A COMMON STOCK OR ALPHA MODUS STOCK MAY BE AFFECTED BY MATTERS NOT DISCUSSED HEREIN AND DEPENDS

Table of Contents

IN SOME INSTANCES ON DETERMINATIONS OF FACT AND INTERPRETATIONS OF COMPLEX PROVISIONS OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAW FOR WHICH NO CLEAR PRECEDENT OR AUTHORITY MAY BE AVAILABLE. HOLDERS OF ALPHA MODUS STOCK SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AND OF THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF NEW IAC COMMON STOCK AFTER THE BUSINESS COMBINATION, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND OTHER TAX LAWS.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Exercising Redemption Rights

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders

In the event that a U.S. holder elects to redeem its IAC Class A common stock for cash, the treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale or exchange of the IAC Class A common stock under Section 302 of the Code or is treated as a corporate distribution under Section 301 of the Code with respect to the U.S. holder. If the redemption qualifies as a sale or exchange of the IAC Class A common stock, the U.S. holder will be treated as recognizing capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the redemption and such U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in IAC Class A common stock surrendered in such redemption transaction. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for the IAC Class A common stock redeemed exceeds one year. It is unclear, however, whether the redemption rights with respect to the IAC Class A common stock may suspend the running of the applicable holding period for this purpose. Long term capital gain realized by a non-corporate U.S. holder is currently taxed at a reduced rate. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Redemption Treated as Sale or Exchange

Whether a redemption qualifies for sale or exchange treatment will depend largely on the total number of shares of IAC Class A common stock treated as held by the U.S. holder (including any IAC Class A common stock constructively owned by the U.S. holder as a result of owning Public Warrants) relative to all of the shares of IAC Class A common stock outstanding both before and after the redemption. The redemption of IAC Class A common stock generally will be treated as a sale or exchange of the IAC Class A common stock (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption (i) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. holder, (ii) results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. holder’s interest in IAC or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests are satisfied, a U.S. holder takes into account not only IAC Class A common stock actually owned by the U.S. holder, but also shares of IAC Class A common stock that are constructively owned by it. A U.S. holder may constructively own, in addition to stock owned directly, stock owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the U.S. holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. holder, as well as any stock the U.S. holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include IAC Class A common stock which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of Public Warrants.

In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, (i) the percentage of our outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder immediately following the redemption of IAC Class A common stock must be less than 80% of the percentage of our outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder immediately before the redemption, (ii) the U.S. holder’s percentage ownership (including constructive ownership) of our outstanding stock (both voting and nonvoting) immediately after the redemption must be less than 80% of such percentage ownership (including constructive ownership) immediately before the redemption; and (iii) the U.S. holder must own (including constructive ownership), immediately after the redemption, less than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock entitled to vote. There will be a complete termination of a U.S. holder’s interest if either (i) all of the shares of the IAC Class A common stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder are redeemed or (ii) all of the shares of the IAC Class A common stock actually owned by the U.S. holder are redeemed and the U.S. holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family members and the U.S. holder does not constructively own any other IAC Class A common stock. The redemption of the IAC Class A common stock will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if a U.S. holder’s redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. holder’s proportionate

109

Table of Contents

interest in IAC. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. holder’s proportionate interest in IAC will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.” A U.S. holder should consult with its own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a redemption.

If none of the foregoing tests is satisfied, then the redemption will be treated as a corporate distribution. After the application of those rules regarding corporate distributions, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. holder in the redeemed IAC Class A common stock will be added to the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining IAC Class A common stock, or, if it has none, to the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Public Warrants or possibly in other IAC Class A common stock constructively owned by it.

Redemption Treated as Corporate Distribution

If the redemption does not qualify as a sale or exchange of IAC Class A common stock, the U.S. holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution. Such distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from IAC’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the IAC Class A common stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of IAC Class A common stock. Dividends paid to a U.S. holder that is a taxable corporation generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations) and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends paid to a non-corporate U.S. holder generally will constitute “qualified dividends” that will be subject to tax at the maximum tax rate accorded to long-term capital gains. However, it is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the IAC Class A common stock may prevent a U.S. holder from satisfying the applicable holding period requirements with respect to the dividends received deduction or the preferential tax rate on qualified dividend income, as the case may be.

All U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the tax consequences to them of a redemption of all or a portion of their IAC Class A common stock pursuant to an exercise of redemption rights.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders

The characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of the redemption of a Non-U.S. holder’s IAC Class A common stock as a sale or exchange under Section 302 of the Code or as a corporate distribution under Section 301 of the Code generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax characterization of such a redemption of a U.S. holder’s IAC Class A common stock, as described above, and the corresponding consequences will be as described below.

Redemption Treated as Sale or Exchange

Any gain realized by a Non-U.S. holder on the redemption of IAC Class A common stock that is treated as a sale or exchange under Section 302 of the Code generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless:

        the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business of the Non-U.S. holder in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment or fixed base of the Non-U.S. holder);

        the Non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition, and certain other conditions are met; or

        we are or have been a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the Non-U.S. holder’s holding period for such IAC Class A common stock redeemed, and either (A) shares of

110

Table of Contents

IAC Class A common stock are not considered to be regularly traded on an established securities market or (B) such Non-U.S. holder has owned or is deemed to have owned, at any time during the shorter of the five-year period preceding such disposition and such Non-U.S. holder’s holding period more than 5% of the outstanding shares of IAC Class A common stock. There can be no assurance that shares of IAC Class A common stock will be treated as regularly traded on an established securities market for this purpose.

A non-corporate Non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet point immediately above will be subject to tax on the net gain derived from the sale under regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates. An individual Non-U.S. holder described in the second bullet point immediately above will be subject to a flat 30% tax on the gain derived from the sale, which may be offset by certain United States source capital losses, even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States, provided that the individual has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses. If a Non-U.S. holder that is a corporation falls under the first bullet point immediately above, it will be subject to tax on its net gain in the same manner as if it were a United States person as defined under the Code and, in addition, may be subject to the branch profits tax equal to 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) of its effectively connected earnings and profits, subject to adjustments.

If the last bullet point immediately above applies to a Non-U.S. holder, gain recognized by such Non-U.S. holder on the redemption of IAC Class A common stock generally will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, we may be required to withhold U.S. income tax at a rate of 15% of the amount realized upon such redemption. We would generally be classified as a “U.S. real property holding corporation” if the fair market value of our “United States real property interests” equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of our worldwide real property interests and our other assets used or held for use in a trade or business, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, we believe that we are not and have not been at any time since our formation a U.S. real property holding corporation and we do not expect to be a U.S. real property holding corporation immediately after the Business Combination is completed.

Redemption Treated as Corporate Distribution

With respect to any redemption treated as a corporate distribution under Section 301 of the Code, provided such dividends are not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, IAC will be required to withhold U.S. tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of 30%, unless such Non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E). Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of the IAC Class A common stock and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the Non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of the Common Stock, which will be treated as described above.

This withholding tax does not apply to dividends paid to a Non-U.S. holder who provides a Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States. Instead, the effectively connected dividends will be subject to regular U.S. income tax as if the Non-U.S. holder were a U.S. resident, subject to an applicable income tax treaty providing otherwise. A Non-U.S. corporation receiving effectively connected dividends may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” imposed at a rate of 30% (or a lower treaty rate).

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination to Holders of Alpha Modus Stock

In connection with the filing of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part, Brunson Chandler & Jones, PLLC, will deliver an opinion that the statements under this section titled “Tax Consequences of the Merger to Holders of Alpha Modus Stock” constitute the opinion of Brunson Chandler & Jones, PLLC. In rendering its opinion, counsel assumes that the statements and facts concerning the Business Combination set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus and in the Business Combination Agreement, are true and accurate in all respects, and that the Business Combination will be completed in accordance with this proxy statement/prospectus and the Business Combination Agreement. Counsel’s opinion also assumes the truth and accuracy of certain representations and covenants as to factual matters made by IAC, Alpha Modus and Merger Sub in tax representation letters provided to counsel. In addition, counsel bases its tax opinion on the law in effect on the date of the opinion and assumes that

111

Table of Contents

there will be no change in applicable law between such date and the time of the Business Combination. If any of these assumptions is inaccurate, the tax consequences of the Merger could differ from those described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Subject to the qualifications and assumptions described in this proxy statement/prospectus, the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Accordingly, U.S. holders of Alpha Modus stock generally will not recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of their Alpha Modus stock for New IAC common stock. Alpha Modus stockholders generally will obtain a tax basis in the New IAC common stock they receive in the Merger equal to their tax basis in the Alpha Modus stock exchanged therefor. The holding period of the shares of New IAC common stock received by a Alpha Modus stockholder in the Merger will include the holding period of the shares of Alpha Modus stock surrendered in exchange therefor.

Neither IAC nor Alpha Modus has requested, and neither intends to request, a ruling from the IRS as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger. Consequently, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of those set forth below. Accordingly, each holder of Alpha Modus stock is urged to consult its own tax advisor with respect to the particular tax consequence of the Merger to such holder. If the Merger is not treated as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, then each U.S. holder of Alpha Modus stock generally will be treated as exchanging its Alpha Modus stock in a fully taxable transaction in exchange for New IAC common stock. Alpha Modus stockholders will generally recognize capital gain or loss in such exchange equal to the difference between such stockholder’s adjusted tax basis in the Alpha Modus stock surrendered in the Merger and the fair market value of the New IAC common stock received in exchange therefor. Any recognized capital gain or capital loss will be long-term capital gain or capital loss if the U.S. holder has held the shares of Alpha Modus stock for more than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. The tax consequences to a Non-U.S. holder if the Merger is treated as a taxable exchange of Alpha Modus stock by the Non-U.S. holder generally will be the same as described above under the section titled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Exercising Redemption Rights — U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders — Redemption Treated as Sale or Exchange” with respect to the Alpha Modus stock so exchanged.

If a holder acquired different blocks of Alpha Modus stock at different times or different prices, it is urged to consult its tax advisor regarding the manner in which gain or loss should be determined in its specific circumstances, including the possible application of the installment sale rules.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Ownership and Disposition of New IAC common stock

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to U.S. holders

Distributions on New IAC common stock

The gross amount of any distribution on shares of New IAC common stock that is made out of New IAC’s current or accumulated profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) will generally be taxable to a U.S. holder as ordinary dividend income on the date such distribution is actually or constructively received by such U.S. holder. Any such dividends paid to corporate U.S. holders generally will qualify for a dividends received deduction (pursuant to which a portion of the dividend may be deducted) if the requisite holding period is satisfied. Subject to applicable requirements and limitations, dividends paid to a non-corporate U.S. holder generally will constitute “qualified dividends” that will be subject to tax at the preferential tax rate accorded to long-term capital gains.

Non-corporate U.S. holders that do not meet a minimum holding period requirement or that elect to treat the dividend income as “investment income” pursuant to Section 163(d)(4) of the Code (dealing with the deduction for investment interest expense) will not be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation applicable to qualified dividends. In addition, the rate reduction will not apply to dividends if the recipient of a dividend is obligated to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property. This disallowance applies even if the minimum holding period has been met.

To the extent that the amount of any distribution made by New IAC on the New IAC common stock exceeds New IAC’s current and accumulated earnings and profits for a taxable year (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), the distribution will first be treated as a tax-free return of capital, causing a reduction (but not below zero) in

112

Table of Contents

the adjusted basis of the U.S. holder’s shares of New IAC common stock, and to the extent the amount of the distribution exceeds the U.S. holder’s tax basis, the excess will be taxed as capital gain recognized on a sale or exchange as described below under “— Sale, Exchange, Redemption or Other Taxable Disposition of Shares of New IAC Common Stock.”

Sale, Exchange, Redemption or Other Taxable Disposition of Shares of New IAC common stock

A U.S. holder generally will recognize gain or loss on the sale, taxable exchange, or other taxable disposition of New IAC common stock. Any such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for the New IAC common stock so disposed of exceeds one year. The amount of gain or loss recognized will generally be equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received in such disposition and (ii) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its New IAC common stock so disposed of. A U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of New IAC common stock will generally equal the U.S. holder’s acquisition cost for such shares (or, in the case of New IAC common stock received upon exercise of a warrant, the U.S. holder’s initial basis for such New IAC common stock, as discussed below), less any prior distributions treated as a return of capital. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. holders are generally eligible for reduced rates of tax. If the U.S. holder’s holding period for the New IAC common stock so disposed of is one year or less, any gain on a sale or other taxable disposition of the shares would be subject to short-term capital gain treatment and would be taxed at ordinary income tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. holders

Distributions on New IAC common stock

Distributions of cash or property to a Non-U.S. holder in respect of New IAC common stock will generally constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from New IAC’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. If a distribution exceeds New IAC’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will generally be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the Non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the New IAC common stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as capital gain and will be treated as described below under “— Sale, Exchange, Redemption or Other Taxable Disposition of New IAC Common Stock.

Dividends paid to a Non-U.S. holder of New IAC common stock generally will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate, unless such Non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate as described below. However, dividends that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the Non-U.S. holder within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base of the Non-U.S. holder) are not subject to such withholding tax, provided certain certification and disclosure requirements are satisfied (generally by providing an IRS FormW-8ECI). Instead, such dividends are subject to United States federal income tax on a net income basis in the same manner as if the Non-U.S. holder were a United States person as defined under the Code. Any such effectively connected dividends received by a foreign corporation may be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

A Non-U.S. holder of New IAC common stock who wishes to claim the benefit of an applicable treaty rate and avoid backup withholding, as discussed below, for dividends will be required (a) to complete the applicable IRS FormW-8 and certify under penalty of perjury that such holder is not a United States person as defined under the Code and is eligible for treaty benefits or (b) if the shares of New IAC common stock are held through certain foreign intermediaries, to satisfy the relevant certification requirements of applicable United States Treasury Regulations. Special certification and other requirements apply to certain Non-U.S. holders that are pass-through entities rather than corporations or individuals.

A Non-U.S. holder of New IAC common stock eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding their entitlement to the benefits under any applicable income tax treaty.

Table of Contents

Sale, Exchange, Redemption or Other Taxable Disposition of New IAC Common Stock

In general, a Non-U.S. holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income or, subject to the discussion below under the headings “Information Reporting and Backup Withholding” and “Foreign Account Tax Compliance,” withholding tax on any gain realized upon the sale or other disposition of shares of New IAC common stock unless:

        the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business carried on by the Non-U.S. holder within the United States and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment of the Non-U.S. holder;

        the Non-U.S. holder is an individual and is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and certain other conditions are satisfied; or

        New IAC is or has been a U.S. real property holding corporation (a “USRPHC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time within the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the disposition or the Non-U.S. holder’s holding period for such securities disposed of, and either (A) shares of New IAC common stock are not considered to be regularly traded on an established securities market or (B) such Non-U.S. holder has owned or is deemed to have owned, at any time during the shorter of the five-year period preceding such disposition and such Non-U.S. holder’s holding period more than 5% of the outstanding shares of New IAC common stock. We believe that New IAC currently is not, and we do not anticipate it becoming, a USRPHC.

Gain that is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax, net of certain deductions, at regular U.S. federal income tax rates. If the Non-U.S. holder is a foreign corporation, the branch profits tax described above also may apply to such effectively connected gain. An individual Non-U.S. holder who is subject to U.S. federal income tax because the Non-U.S. holder was present in the United States for 183 days or more during the year of sale or other disposition of our securities will generally be subject to a flat 30% tax on the gain derived from such sale or other disposition, which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses, provided the Non-U.S. holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

New IAC must report annually to the IRS and to each holder the amount of cash dividends (including constructive dividends) paid to and the tax withheld with respect to, each holder. These reporting requirements apply regardless of whether withholding was reduced or eliminated by an applicable tax treaty. In the case of a Non-U.S. holder, copies of this information also may be made available under the provisions of a specific treaty or agreement with the tax authorities in the country in which the Non-U.S. holder resides or is established.

U.S. backup withholding tax (currently, at a rate of 24%) is imposed on certain payments to U.S. holders that fail to furnish the information required under the U.S. information reporting rules. Dividends paid to a Non-U.S. holder generally will be exempt from backup withholding if the Non-U.S. holder provides a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or otherwise establishes an exemption.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against a U.S. or Non-U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, and a holder generally may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the of backup withholding and the availability of and procedures for obtaining an exemption from backup withholding in their particular circumstances.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

Section 1471 through 1474 of the Code and Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance promulgated thereunder (provisions commonly referred to as “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act” or “FATCA”) generally impose withholding of 30% on payments of dividends (including constructive dividends) on New IAC common stock to “foreign financial institutions” (which is broadly defined for this purpose and in general includes investment vehicles) and certain other non-U.S. entities unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interests in or accounts with those entities) have been satisfied by, or an exemption applies to, the payee (typically certified as to by the delivery of a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN-E).

114

Table of Contents

Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. Under certain circumstances, a Non-U.S. holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such withholding taxes, and a Non-U.S. holder might be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return to claim such refunds or credits. Thirty percent withholding under FATCA was scheduled to apply to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of property that produces U.S.-source interest or dividends beginning on January 1, 2019, but on December 13, 2018, the IRS released proposed regulations that, if finalized in their proposed form, would eliminate the obligation to withhold on gross proceeds. Such proposed regulations also delayed withholding on certain other payments received from other foreign financial institutions that are allocable, as provided for under final Treasury Regulations, to payments of U.S.-source dividends, and other fixed or determinable annual or periodic income. Although these proposed Treasury Regulations are not final, taxpayers generally may rely on them until final Treasury Regulations are issued. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effects of FATCA on their ownership and disposition of New IAC securities.

THE CONCLUSIONS EXPRESSED ABOVE ARE BASED ON CURRENT LAW. FUTURE LEGISLATIVE, ADMINISTRATIVE OR JUDICIAL CHANGES OR INTERPRETATIONS, WHICH CAN APPLY RETROACTIVELY, COULD AFFECT THE ACCURACY OF THESE CONCLUSIONS. THIS DISCUSSION IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE ONLY A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION TO U.S. HOLDERS OF ALPHA MODUS STOCK. IT DOES NOT ADDRESS TAX CONSEQUENCES THAT MAY VARY WITH, OR ARE CONTINGENT ON, YOUR INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES.

Vote Required for Approval

The Business Combination Proposal (and consequently, the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination) will be approved and adopted only if (i) the holders of at least 65% of the outstanding shares of IAC common stock vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, (ii) the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of IAC common stock vote “FOR” the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal, and (iii) the Nasdaq Proposal is approved at the IAC Special Meeting. Failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the IAC Special Meeting or an abstention from voting will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal.

As of the Record Date, the Sponsor has agreed to vote any shares of IAC common stock owned by them in favor of the Business Combination and the Required Proposals. As a result, in addition to Sponsor’s IAC shares, IAC would need only [•], or approximately [•]%, of IAC common stock, to be voted in favor of the Business Combination in order to have the Business Combination approved (assuming all outstanding shares are voted and Sponsor’s 4,875,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock and 449,997 shares of Class B common stock are voted in favor of the Business Combination and the Required Proposals).

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE AMENDED AND RESTATED CHARTER PROPOSAL (PROPOSAL 2)

If the Business Combination is to be consummated, IAC will replace the IAC Charter, with the Amended and Restated Charter in the form attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B, which, in the judgment of the IAC Board, is necessary to adequately address the needs of New IAC following the Closing.

The following table sets forth a summary of the principal proposed changes and the differences between the IAC Charter and the Amended and Restated Charter. This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the Restated Charter, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B. All stockholders are encouraged to read the Amended and Restated Charter in its entirety for a more complete description of its terms.

As part of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, and in accordance with the Amended and Restated Charter, all shares of outstanding Class B common stock shall automatically converted, on a one-to-one basis, into shares of Class A common stock such that, at the closing of the Business Combination, only shares of Class A common stock remain outstanding.

Purpose

 

The IAC Charter provides that the purpose of IAC is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the DGCL. In addition to the powers and privileges conferred upon IAC by law and those incidental thereto, IAC shall possess and may exercise all the powers and privileges that are necessary or convenient to the conduct, promotion or attainment of the business or purposes of IAC, including, but not limited to, effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, involving IAC and one or more businesses.

 

The Amended and Restated Charter provides that the purpose of New IAC is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the DGCL.

Duration of Existence

 

The IAC Charter provides that if IAC does not consummate the Business Combination and fails to complete an initial business combination by July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extend), to consummate a Business Combination, it will be required to dissolve and liquidate its trust account by returning the then-remaining funds in such account to the Public Stockholders.

 

The Amended and Restated Charter deletes the liquidation provision in the IAC Charter and retains the default of perpetual existence under the DGCL.

Amended and Restated Charter

Provisions Specific to a Blank Check Company

 

Under the IAC Charter, Article IX sets forth various provisions related to our operations as a blank check company prior to the consummation of an initial business combination.

 

The Amended and Restated Charter deletes the provisions previously included as Article IX in the IAC Charter in their entirety because, upon consummation of the Business Combination, IAC will cease to be a blank check company. In addition, the provisions requiring that the proceeds from the Offering be held in a trust account until a business combination or liquidation of IAC and the terms governing IAC’s consummation of a proposed business combination will not be applicable following consummation of the Business Combination and thus will be deleted.

Board of Directors

 

Under the IAC Charter, directors may be removed by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

 

The Amended and Restated Charter requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, in order to remove a director.

Actions by Written Consent

 

Under the IAC Charter, actions by written consent are not permitted except as provided for holders of preferred stock and holders of Class B common stock.

 

The Amended and Restated Charter removes the reference to Class B common stock and provides that holders of preferred stock may take action by written consent of having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Other action must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of the stockholders and may not be taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

Business Combinations with Interested Stockholders

 

The IAC Charter does not address business combinations with interested stockholders. Accordingly, Section 203 of the DGCL prevents stockholders (along with their affiliates and associates) from engaging in a tender or exchange offer with the corporation for a period of three years after buying more than 15 percent of the corporation’s stock unless certain criteria are met.

 

The Amended and Restated Charter provides that the corporation expressly elects not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL.

Indemnification

 

The IAC Charter specifically does not restrict the right of IAC to indemnify persons other than indemnitees specified therein.

 

The Amended and Restated Charter does not provide New IAC the right to indemnify persons other than specified indemnitees. It also details the rights of other indemnitors, specifying that New IAC is the indemnitor of first resort for indemnitees who may have a right to indemnification by other parties.

Amended and Restated Charter

Corporate Opportunity

 

The IAC Charter provides that the doctrine of corporate opportunity does not apply to its officers and directors, except with respect to a corporate opportunity that was offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the corporation and (i) such opportunity is one the corporation is legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for the corporation to pursue, and (ii) the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to the corporation without violating any legal obligation.

 

The Amended and Restated Charter does not include any reference to corporate opportunities.

Amendments to Certificate of Incorporation

 

The IAC Charter provides that amendments to the corporation’s certificate of incorporation are only permitted after the vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the IAC Class B common stock, voting separately as a single class.

 

The Amended and Restated Charter removes the reference to Class B common stock and provides that amendments to the corporation’s certificate of incorporation must be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class.

Reasons for the Amendments to IAC’s Charter

In the judgment of the IAC Board, the Amended and Restated Charter is necessary to address the needs of New IAC following the Closing. In particular:

        7,500,000 shares of IAC Series C Preferred Stock are required to be issued at Closing as part of the Merger Consideration for the Alpha Modus Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and therefore the Amended and Restated Charter needs to authorize the issuance of, and designate the rights of, 7,500,000 shares of IAC Series C Preferred Stock.

        Shares of IAC Class B common stock will no longer needed to be available for issuance since IAC will cease to be a blank check company, and following the consummation of the Business Combination, all outstanding shares of IAC Class B common stock will be automatically converted into shares of IAC Class A Common Stock on a one-to-one basis.

        The additional changes to the IAC Charter, including the change in purpose, the change in duration of existence, the deletion of provisions specific to a blank check company, opting out of Section 203 of the DGCL, and requiring the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class to remove a director or amend the Amended and Restated Charter are necessary to adequately address the needs of New IAC following the Closing. The elimination of certain provisions related to IAC’s status as a blank check company is desirable because these provisions will serve no purpose following the Business Combination. For example, these proposed amendments remove the requirement to dissolve IAC and allow New IAC to continue as a corporate entity with perpetual existence following consummation of the Business Combination. Perpetual existence is the usual period of existence for corporations, and the IAC Board believes it is the most appropriate period following the Business Combination. In addition, certain other provisions in the IAC Charter require that proceeds from IAC Offering be held in the Trust Account until a business combination or liquidation of IAC has occurred. These provisions cease to apply once the Business Combination is consummated. Similarly, director removal and amendment of the Amended and Restated Charter currently requires the approval or written consent of the holders of a majority of the IAC

120

Table of Contents

Class B common stock, and following the Business Combination, New IAC will have no Series B common stock outstanding, and removal of directors and amendment of the Amended and Restated Charter should require the approval of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of stock of the corporation, commensurate with other public companies that are not blank check companies having Class B common stock.

Vote Required for Approval

The Business Combination Proposal and the Nasdaq Proposal are conditioned on the approval of the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal at the IAC Special Meeting.

The Amended and Restated Charter Proposal will be approved and adopted only if the holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of IAC common stock vote “FOR” the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal. Failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person online at the IAC Special Meeting or an abstention from voting will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal.

THE NASDAQ PROPOSAL (PROPOSAL 3)

Overview

In connection with the Business Combination, we intend to effect (subject to customary terms and conditions, including the Closing), for purposes of complying with the applicable listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market:

        the issuance, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, of 6,145,000 shares of IAC common stock to the Alpha Modus stockholders upon the Closing, 1,392,308 shares of IAC common stock to Janbella upon the Closing, 125,000 shares of IAC common stock to Michael Singer upon the Closing, 210,000 shares of IAC common stock to Cantor, and 90,000 shares of IAC common stock to Odeon, and up to an additional 2,200,000 shares of IAC common stock subsequent to Closing upon satisfaction of certain share price thresholds and certain other conditions; and

        the issuance, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, of 7,500,000 shares of IAC Series Preferred Stock to the Alpha Modus stockholders upon the Closing, and the subsequent issuance of shares of IAC common stock issuable upon conversion of the IAC Series C Preferred Stock.

For further information, please see the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1),” as well as the annexes to this proxy statement/prospectus.

Why IAC Needs Stockholder Approval

We are seeking stockholder approval in order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), (b), and (d), as applicable.

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), stockholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities in connection with the acquisition of another company if such securities are not issued in a public offering, and (i) have, or will have upon issuance, voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of such securities (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock); or (ii) the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of the stock or securities.

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b), stockholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities when the issuance or potential issuance will result in a “change of control” of the registrant. Although Nasdaq has not adopted any rule on what constitutes a “change of control” for purposes of Rule 5635(b), Nasdaq has previously indicated that the acquisition of, or right to acquire, by a single investor or affiliated investor group, as little as 20% of the common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) or voting power of an issuer could constitute a change of control.

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), stockholder approval is required for a transaction other than a public offering involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by an issuer of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) at a price that is less than the greater of book or market value of the stock if the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or may be equal to 20% or more of the common stock, or 20% or more of the voting power, outstanding before the issuance.

Stockholder approval of the Nasdaq Proposal is also a condition to the Closing under the Business Combination Agreement.

Effect of Proposal on Current Stockholders

If the Nasdaq Proposal is adopted, we will issue (i) 6,145,000 shares of IAC common stock to the Alpha Modus stockholders upon the Closing, (ii) 1,392,308 shares of IAC common stock to Janbella upon the Closing, (iii) 125,000 shares of IAC common stock to Michael Singer upon the Closing, (iv) 210,000 shares of IAC common stock to Cantor upon the Closing, (v) 90,000 shares of IAC common stock to Odeon upon the Closing, (vi) up to an additional 2,200,000 shares of IAC common stock subsequent to Closing upon satisfaction of certain share price thresholds and certain other conditions; (vii) 7,500,000 shares of IAC Series Preferred Stock to the Alpha Modus stockholders upon the Closing, and (viii) additional shares of IAC common stock upon conversion of the IAC Series C Preferred Stock.

122

Table of Contents

The issuance of the shares of IAC common stock described above would result in significant dilution to IAC stockholders and result in IAC stockholders having a smaller percentage interest in the voting power, liquidation value and aggregate book value of IAC.

Vote Required for Approval

If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Nasdaq Proposal will have no effect and will not be presented at the IAC Special Meeting. The approval of the Nasdaq Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person online or by proxy and entitled to a vote at the IAC Special Meeting.

Failure to submit a proxy or to vote online during the IAC Special Meeting, an abstention from voting or a broker non-vote will have no effect on the Nasdaq Proposal.

THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL (PROPOSAL 4)

Overview

The Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, will allow the IAC Board to adjourn the IAC Special Meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation of proxies. The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented to IAC’s stockholders in the event that based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the IAC Special Meeting there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Amended and Restated Charter Proposal, or the Nasdaq Proposal. In no event will the IAC Board adjourn the IAC Special Meeting or consummate the Business Combination beyond the date by which it may properly do so under the IAC Charter and Delaware law.

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by IAC’s stockholders, the IAC Board may not be able to adjourn the IAC Special Meeting to a later date in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Business Combination Proposal or any other Proposal.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of IAC common stock represented in person online or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the IAC Special Meeting to vote “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal. Failures to vote by proxy or to vote in person online at the IAC Special Meeting or abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Adjournment Proposal.

INFORMATION ABOUT IAC

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to IAC.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on April 20, 2021. We were formed for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination that we have not yet identified. Our sponsor is Insight Acquisition Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).

Our registration statement for our IPO was declared effective on September 1, 2021. On September 7, 2021, we consummated an IPO of 24,000,000 Units (and with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), generating gross proceeds of $240.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $17.5 million, of which approximately $12.0 million and approximately $668,000 was for deferred underwriting commissions and offering costs allocated to derivate warrant liabilities, respectively. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 7,500,000 and 1,200,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”), to the Sponsor and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Odeon Group, LLC, respectively, for an aggregate of 8,700,000 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating proceeds of $8.7 million.

Upon the closing of the IPO and the Private Placement, $241.2 million ($10.05 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and of the Private Placement Warrants in the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in U.S. “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by March 7, 2024 (the “Combination Period”), which may be extended by our board of directors in their sole discretion on a monthly basis, by depositing $20,000 per month into the Trust Account, up to and including July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent), we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of such interest may be used to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject, in each case, to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The issuance of additional shares in a Business Combination:

        may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in our IPO;

        may subordinate the rights of holders of Class A common stock if preference shares are issued with rights senior to those afforded our Class A common stock;

        could cause a change in control if a substantial number of our Class A common stock are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors;

125

Table of Contents

        may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the share ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us; and

        may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A common stock.

Similarly, if we issue debt or otherwise incur significant debt, it could result in:

        default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an initial Business Combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;

        acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;

        our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt is payable on demand;

        our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt is outstanding;

        our inability to pay dividends on our Class A common stock;

        using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our Class A common stock if declared, expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;

        limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;

        increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; and

        limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our strategy and other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.

Initial Proposed Business Combination

On April 3, 2023, Insight Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Avila Amalco Sub Inc., an Alberta corporation (“Amalco Sub”) and Avila Energy Corporation, an Alberta corporation (“Avila”), entered into a business combination agreement (the “Avila BCA”) pursuant to which the Company will acquire Avila for consideration of shares of the Company following its redomicile into the Province of Alberta. The terms of the Avila BCA, which contained customary representations and warranties, covenants, closing conditions and other terms relating to the mergers and the other transactions contemplated thereby, are summarized below. The Company’s entry into the Avila BCA was previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, which was filed on April 4, 2023, and is incorporated herein by reference.

On August 10, 2023, the Company and Avila entered into a Letter Agreement providing for the mutual termination of the Avila BCA. The Letter Agreement provides for the mutual release of claims against the other party and also provides that Avila will pay to SPAC $300,000 in partial reimbursement of expenses incurred by SPAC in connection with the Avila BCA (the “Avila Payment”). The Avila Payment is due and payable as follows: 1) up to $300,000 immediately upon Avila’s receipt of net proceeds from any financing, public or private, in excess of U.S. $3,000,000, -or- (2) (i) $50,000 by December 1, 2023, (ii) $100,000 by February 1, 2024 and (iii) $150,000 by April 1, 2024. The termination of the Avila BCA was previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, which was filed on August 11, 2023, and is incorporated herein by reference.

As previously disclosed, on March 29, 2023, the Company entered into a forward share purchase agreement (the “Forward Share Purchase Agreement”) with Avila, Meteora Special Opportunity Fund I, LP, Meteora Capital Partners, LP and Meteora Select Trading Opportunities Master, LP (collectively, “Seller”) for an OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transaction (the “Forward Purchase Transaction”). The Forward Share Purchase Agreement was terminated as a result of the termination of the Avila BCA on August 10, 2023, as described above.

Table of Contents

On August 30, 2023, the Company, Sponsor and Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (“Polar”), an investor, entered into an agreement (the Subscription Agreement”) in which Polar has agreed to fund the Sponsor up to $1,000,000, pursuant to written draw down requests (a “Capital Call”), and the Sponsor will in turn loan such funds to the Company, to cover the Company’s working capital expenses (each a “Sponsor Loan”). In September 2023, Polar funded Sponsor $150,000 under the Subscription Agreement and the Sponsor loaned the Company $150,000 from Polar. All subsequent Capital Calls are subject to the mutual consent of the Company, Sponsor and Polar. All Capital Calls funded by Polar shall not accrue interest and are repayable by the Sponsor at the closing of the Company’s initial business combination. At the option of Polar, all Capital Calls funded by Polar may be repaid by the Company through the issuance of 1 share of Class A Common Stock for each $10 of the outstanding Capital Calls funded by Polar. Sponsor is also responsible to reimburse Polar for its reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in connection with the Subscription Agreement up to $5,000. In the event, a business combination does not occur and the Company’s liquidates, then all Capital Calls funded by Polar out of cash held in the Sponsor’s bank accounts and/or the Company’s bank accounts, excluding the Company’s Trust Account. The Sponsor Loans shall not accrue interest and shall be repaid by the Company at the closing of the business combination. A copy of the Subscription Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Exhibit 10.10.

In consideration of the funds received, the Company will issue, at the closing of its business combination, to Polar one (1) shares of the company’s Class A Common Stock for each dollar Polar funds through the Capital Calls (“Subscription Shares”). The Subscription Shares shall not be subject to any transfer restrictions or any other lock-up provisions, earn outs, or other contingencies. The Subscription Shares (i) to the extent feasible and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations shall be registered as part of any registration statement issuing shares before or in connect ion with the Business Combination Closing or (ii) if no such registration statement is filed in connection with the Business Combination Closing, shall promptly be registered pursuant to the first registration statement filed by the Company or the surviving entity following the Business Combination Closing, which shall be filed no later than 30 days after the Business Combination Closing and declared effective no later than 90 days after the Business Combination Closing. The Sponsor shall not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any securities owned by the Sponsor until the Subscription Shares have been transferred to the Investor and the registration statement has been made effective.

In the event the Sponsor of the Company default in their obligations under the Subscription Agreement (a “Default”), then the Sponsor shall be required to transfer to Polar 0.1 share of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock for each $1 that Polar has funded under the Capital Calls as of the date of such Default and shall be required repeat such issuance for each month the such Default continues.

The foregoing description of the Subscription Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the actual Subscription Agreement, a copy of which is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 10.10 hereto.

On May 15, 2024, the Company, Sponsor and Polar entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Subscription Agreement (the “Amendment”) pursuant to which Polar’s aggregate advance under the Subscription Agreement was reduced from $1,000,000 to $975,000 and in the event the Company consummates the business combination with Alpha Modus Corp., then the Company will not be obligated to issue to Polar one (1) share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for each dollar Polar advances to the Company under the Subscription Agreement at the closing of the business combination. However, if the Company consummates a business combination with an entity other than Alpha Modus, Corp., then the Company is obligated to issue to Polar one (1) share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for each dollar Polar advances to the Company under the Subscription Agreement at the closing of the business combination with an entity other than Alpha Modus, Corp. (the “Subscription Shares”). The Subscription Shares shall be subject to no transfer restrictions or any other lock-up provisions, earn outs, or other contingencies. The Subscription Shares (i) to the extent feasible and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations shall be registered as part of any registration statement issuing shares before or in connection with the closing of the business combination or (ii) if no such registration statement is filed in connection with the closing of the business combination, shall promptly be registered pursuant to the first registration statement filed by the Company or the surviving entity following the closing of the business combination, which shall be filed no later than 30 days after the closing of the business combination and declared effective no later than 90 days after the closing of the business combination. Sponsor shall not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any securities owned by the Sponsor until the Subscription Shares have been transferred to the Investor and the registration statement has been made effective.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the actual Amendment, a copy of which is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 10.11 hereto.

Execution of the Alpha Modus Business Combination Agreement

Effective as of October 13, 2023, the Company, IAC Merger Sub Inc., a Florida corporation (“Merger Sub”) and Alpha Modus, Corp., a Florida corporation (“Alpha Modus”), entered into a business combination agreement and plan of merger (the “Alpha Modus BCA”) pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Alpha Modus with Alpha Modus as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Alpha Modus BCA was amended on June 21, 2024. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has unanimously approved and declared advisable the Alpha Modus BCA, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby (the “Proposed Transactions”). In connection with entering into the Alpha Modus BCA, in October 2023, the Company formed IAC Merger Sub Inc, a Florida corporation.

The amendment to the Alpha Modus BCA (the “BCA Amendment”) (i) provides that each share of Alpha Modus’ 6,145,000 shares common stock outstanding prior to the business combination will be exchanged for the right to receive 1 share of IAC Class A common stock, and a contingent right to receive a pro rata portion of the 2,200,000 earnout shares; (ii) provides that each share of Alpha Modus’ 7,500,000 shares Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding prior to the business combination will be exchanged for the right to receive 1 share of IAC Series C Preferred Stock (having substantially the same rights as the Alpha Modus Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock), and a contingent right to receive a pro rata portion of the 2,200,000 earnout shares; (iii) eliminates the closing condition that the combined company is obligated to pay off Polar’s indebtedness (up to a maximum of $1,000,000) and Janbella Group, LLC’s (“Janbella”) indebtedness (up to a maximum of $1,000,000) at closing of the business combination; (iv) eliminates the combined company’s obligation to issue each of Polar and Janbella at closing a number of shares of common stock equal to the amount of indebtedness paid off divided by $1.00; (v) requires the combined company to issue the following shares of common stock at closing: (a) 1,392,308 shares to Janbella, (b) 210,000 shares to Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., (c) 90,000 shares to Odeon Group, LLC, and (d) 125,000 shares to Michael Singer; and (vi) extends the “Outside Date” (the date by which the business combination must occur, after which either the Company or Alpha Modus may terminate the AM BCA by providing written notice to the other) to September 9, 2024, from June 7, 2024.

The foregoing description of the BCA Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the actual BCA Amendment, a copy of which is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 2.3 hereto.

Facilities

We do not own any real estate or other physical properties materially important to our operation. Our executive office is located at 333 East 91st Street, New York, New York, 10128. Such facility is provided by our Sponsor, an affiliate of our Executive Chairman and CEO, for a monthly fee of $10,000 (such fee is for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to or incurred by members of the Company’s management team until the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation).

Employees

We currently have two officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters, but they devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed our initial business combination. The amount of time that any such person devotes in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for our initial business combination and the stage of the initial business combination process we are in. We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of our initial business combination.

Legal Proceedings

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

Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors

Our board of directors consists of five members and is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual meeting of stockholders) serving a two-year term. We held our first annual meeting of stockholders on September 6, 2023. The term of office of our first class of directors, consisting of Mr. Brosgol, expired at our first annual meeting of stockholders, and at that meeting, he was reelected to serve as a director until the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting of Messrs. Pascucci and Ullman, will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the third class of directors, consisting of Mr. Singer, will expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders. Our officers are appointed by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Our officers are appointed by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Our board of directors is authorized to appoint officers as it deems appropriate pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

Director Independence

So long as we maintain a listing for our securities on Nasdaq, a majority of our board of directors must be independent. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of

a director. Our board of directors has determined that each of David Brosgol, Victor Pascucci, III and William Ullman are “independent directors” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Our independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

Officer and Director Compensation

We have not entered into any employment agreements with our executive officers and have not made any agreements to provide benefits upon termination of employment. No executive officer has received any cash compensation for services rendered to us.

We currently pay our sponsor an aggregate fee of $10,000 per month for providing us with office space and certain administrative services. On September 1, 2021, we entered into an agreement with the Sponsor, pursuant to which we agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to or incurred by members of our management team until the earlier of our consummation of a Business Combination and our liquidation. For the year ended December 31, 2022, and for the period from April 20, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, we incurred approximately $120,000 and $40,000, respectively, under the services agreement in the statements of operations. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, $40,000 and $10,000, respectively, was included in accrued expenses — related party on the balance sheets.

The board of directors has also approved payments of up to $15,000 per month, through the earlier of the consummation of our initial business combination or liquidation, to members of our management team for services rendered to us. In addition, the Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, executive officers or directors, or our or their affiliates. For the year ended December 31, 2022, and for the period from April 20, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, we incurred approximately $180,000 and $45,000, respectively, under the services agreement in the statements of operations. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, $45,000 and $0, respectively, was included in accrued expenses — related party on the balance sheets. Except as otherwise disclosed herein, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, will be paid by us to our sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection with the completion of an initial business combination. However, these individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our sponsor, officers, directors or our or their affiliates.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our board of directors has three standing committees: an audit committee, a compensation committee, and a nominating and corporate governance committee. Subject to certain limited exceptions, the rules of Nasdaq and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors, and the rules of Nasdaq require that the compensation committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors.

Audit Committee

We have established an audit committee of the board of directors. The members of our audit committee are David Brosgol, Victor Pascucci and William Ullman. Mr. Ullman serves as chairman of the audit committee.

Each member of the audit committee is financially literate, and our board of directors has determined that Mr. Ullman qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules.

We have adopted an audit committee charter, which details the principal functions of the audit committee, including:

Compensation Committee

We have established a compensation committee of the board of directors. The members of our compensation committee are David Brosgol, Victor Pascucci and William Ullman. Mr. Pascucci serves as chairman of the compensation committee.

We have adopted a compensation committee charter, which details the principal functions of the compensation committee, including:

The charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other advisor and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such advisor. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other advisor, the compensation committee will consider the independence of each such advisor, including the factors required by the NYSE and the SEC.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

We have established a nominating and corporate governance committee of the board of directors. The members of our nominating and corporate governance committee are David Brosgol, Victor Pascucci and William Ullman. Mr. Brosgol serves as chairman of the nominating and corporate governance committee.

We have adopted a nominating and corporate governance committee charter, which details the purpose and responsibilities of the nominating and corporate governance committee, including:

        screening and reviewing individuals qualified to serve as directors, consistent with criteria approved by the board of directors, and recommending to the board of directors candidates for nomination for election at the annual meeting of stockholders or to fill vacancies on the board of directors;

We have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, the board of directors considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of our stockholders. Prior to our initial business combination, holders of our public shares will not have the right to recommend director candidates for nomination to our board of directors.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of our officers currently serves, and in the past year have not served, as a member of the compensation committee of any entity that has one or more officers serving on our Board.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees. We have filed a copy of our Code of Ethics and our audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committee charters as exhibits to the registration statement filed in connection with our initial public offering. You can review these documents by accessing our public filings at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, a copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided without charge upon request from us. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics in a Current Report on Form 8-K. See the section of this prospectus entitled “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock and other equity securities. These executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms filed by such reporting persons. Based solely on our review of such forms furnished to us and written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that all reports applicable to our executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were filed in a timely manner in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The IAC Charter provides that our current officers and directors have been, and will be, indemnified by us to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as it now exists or may in the future be amended. In addition, the IAC Charter provides that our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages to us or our stockholders for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors, unless they violated their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized unlawful payments of dividends, unlawful stock purchases or unlawful redemptions, or derived an improper personal benefit from their actions as directors.

We have previously entered into agreements with our current officers and directors to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in the IAC Charter. We have purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.

These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

IAC’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of IAC’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the sections entitled “Information About IAC,” “Selected Financial and Other Data of IAC” and IAC’s consolidated financial statements and related notes to those statements and other information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon our current expectations, estimates and projections that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements due to, among other considerations, the matters discussed under “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this proxy statement/prospectus. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in this section to “we,” “our,” “us” and other similar terms refer to IAC and its consolidated subsidiaries before the Business Combination.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on April 20, 2021. We were formed for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination that we have not yet identified. Our sponsor is Insight Acquisition Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).

Our registration statement for our IPO was declared effective on September 1, 2021. On September 7, 2021, we consummated an IPO of 24,000,000 Units (and with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), generating gross proceeds of $240.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $17.5 million, of which approximately $12.0 million and approximately $668,000 was for deferred underwriting commissions and offering costs allocated to derivate warrant liabilities, respectively. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 7,500,000 and 1,200,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”), to the Sponsor and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Odeon Group, LLC, respectively, for an aggregate of 8,700,000 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating proceeds of $8.7 million.

Upon the closing of the IPO and the Private Placement, $241.2 million ($10.05 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and of the Private Placement Warrants in the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in U.S. “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent), we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject, in each case, to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

We intend to effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of our IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, equity and debt.

Table of Contents

The issuance of additional shares in a Business Combination:

        may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in our IPO;

        may subordinate the rights of holders of Class A common stock if preference shares are issued with rights senior to those afforded our Class A common stock;

        could cause a change in control if a substantial number of our Class A common stock are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors;

        may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the share ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us; and

        may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A common stock.

Similarly, if we issue debt or otherwise incur significant debt, it could result in:

        default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an initial Business Combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;

        acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;

        our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt is payable on demand;

        our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt is outstanding;

        our inability to pay dividends on our Class A common stock;

        using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our Class A common stock if declared, expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;

        limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;

        increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; and

        limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our strategy and other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.

Prior Proposed Business Combination

On April 3, 2023, the Company, Avila Amalco Sub Inc., an Alberta corporation (“Amalco Sub”) and Avila Energy Corporation, an Alberta corporation (“Avila”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Avila BCA”) pursuant to which the Company will acquire Avila for consideration of shares of the Company following its redomicile into the Province of Alberta (as further explained below). The terms of the Avila BCA, which contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, closing conditions and other terms relating to the mergers and the other transactions contemplated thereby, are summarized below. The Company’s entry into the Avila BCA was previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, which was filed on April 4, 2023, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Table of Contents

On August 10, 2023, the Company and Avila entered into a Letter Agreement providing for the mutual termination of the Avila BCA. The Letter Agreement provides for the mutual release of claims against the other party and also provides that Avila will pay to SPAC $300,000 in partial reimbursement of expenses incurred by SPAC in connection with the Avila BCA (the “Avila Payment”). The Avila Payment is due and payable as follows: (a) up to $300,000 immediately upon Avila’s receipt of net proceeds from any financing, public or private, in excess of U.S. $3,000,000; or (b) (i) $50,000 by December 1, 2023, (ii) $100,000 by February 1, 2024, and (iii) $150,000 by April 1, 2024.

As previously disclosed, on March 29, 2023, the Company entered into a forward share purchase agreement (the “Forward Share Purchase Agreement”) with Avila, Meteora Special Opportunity Fund I, LP, Meteora Capital Partners, LP and Meteora Select Trading Opportunities Master, LP (collectively, “Seller”) for an OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transaction (the “Forward Purchase Transaction”). The Forward Share Purchase Agreement was terminated as a result of the termination of the Avila BCA on August 10, 2023, as described above.

On August 30, 2023, the Company, Sponsor and Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (“Polar”), an investor, entered into an agreement (the “Polar Subscription Agreement”) in which Polar has agreed to fund the Sponsor up to $1,000,000, pursuant to written draw down requests (a “Capital Call”), and the Sponsor will in turn loan such funds to the Company, to cover the Company’s working capital expenses (each a “Sponsor Loan”). In September 2023, Polar funded Sponsor $150,000 under the Polar Subscription Agreement, and the Sponsor loaned the Company $150,000 from Polar. All subsequent Capital Calls are subject to the mutual consent of the Company, Sponsor and Polar. All Capital Calls funded by Polar shall not accrue interest and are repayable by the Sponsor at the closing of the Company’s initial business combination. At the option of Polar, all Capital Calls funded by Polar may be repaid by the Company through the issuance of 1 share of Class A Common Stock for each $10 of the outstanding Capital Calls funded by Polar. Sponsor is also responsible to reimburse Polar for its reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in connection with the Polar Subscription Agreement up to $5,000. In the event a business combination does not occur and the Company’s liquidates, then all Capital Calls funded by Polar will be repaid up to the amount of cash held in the Sponsor’s bank accounts and/or the Company’s bank accounts, excluding the Company’s Trust Account. The Sponsor Loans shall not accrue interest and shall be repaid by the Company at the closing of the business combination.

In consideration of the funds received, the Company agreed to issue, at the closing of its business combination, to Polar one (1) shares of the company’s Class A Common Stock for each dollar Polar funds through the Capital Calls (“Polar Subscription Shares”). The Polar Subscription Shares shall not be subject to any transfer restrictions or any other lock-up provisions, earn outs, or other contingencies. The Polar Subscription Shares (i) to the extent feasible and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations shall be registered as part of any registration statement issuing shares before or in connection with the Business Combination Closing, or (ii) if no such registration statement is filed in connection with the Business Combination Closing, shall promptly be registered pursuant to the first registration statement filed by the Company or the surviving entity following the Business Combination Closing, which shall be filed no later than 30 days after the Business Combination Closing and declared effective no later than 90 days after the Business Combination Closing. The Sponsor shall not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any securities owned by the Sponsor until the Polar Subscription Shares have been transferred to the Investor and the registration statement has been made effective.

In the event the Sponsor of the Company defaults in their obligations under the Polar Subscription Agreement (a “Sponsor Default”), then the Sponsor shall be required to transfer to Polar 0.1 shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock for each $1 that Polar has funded under the Capital Calls as of the date of such Default and shall be required to repeat such issuance for each month such Sponsor Default continues.

The foregoing description of the Polar Subscription Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the actual agreement, a copy of which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 10.10 hereto.

On May 15, 2024, the Company, Sponsor and Polar entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Subscription Agreement (the “Amendment”) pursuant to which Polar’s aggregate advance under the Subscription Agreement was reduced from $1,000,000 to $975,000 and in the event the Company consummates the business combination with Alpha Modus Corp., then the Company will not be obligated to issue to Polar one (1) share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for each dollar Polar advances to the Company under the Subscription Agreement at the closing of the business combination. However, if the Company consummates a business combination with an entity other than Alpha Modus, Corp., then the Company is obligated to issue to Polar one (1) share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for each dollar Polar advances to the Company under the Subscription Agreement at the closing of the business combination

with an entity other than Alpha Modus, Corp. (the “Subscription Shares”). The Subscription Shares shall be subject to no transfer restrictions or any other lock-up provisions, earn outs, or other contingencies. The Subscription Shares (i) to the extent feasible and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations shall be registered as part of any registration statement issuing shares before or in connection with the closing of the business combination or (ii) if no such registration statement is filed in connection with the closing of the business combination, shall promptly be registered pursuant to the first registration statement filed by the Company or the surviving entity following the closing of the business combination, which shall be filed no later than 30 days after the closing of the business combination and declared effective no later than 90 days after the closing of the business combination. Sponsor shall not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any securities owned by the Sponsor until the Subscription Shares have been transferred to the Investor and the registration statement has been made effective.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the actual Amendment, a copy of which is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 10.11 hereto.

Effective as of October 13, 2023, the Company, IAC Merger Sub Inc., a Florida corporation (“Merger Sub”) and Alpha Modus, Corp., a Florida corporation (“Alpha Modus”), entered into a business combination agreement and plan of merger (the “AM BCA”) pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Alpha Modus with Alpha Modus as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The board of directors of the Company has unanimously approved and declared advisable the AM BCA, the merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby (the “Proposed Transactions”).

On June 21, 2024, the Company, Alpha Modus and Merger Sub entered into an amendment to the AM BCA (the “BCA Amendment”), which (i) provides that each share of Alpha Modus’ 6,145,000 shares common stock outstanding prior to the business combination will be exchanged for the right to receive 1 share of IAC Class A common stock, and a contingent right to receive a pro rata portion of the 2,200,000 earnout shares; (ii) provides that each share of Alpha Modus’ 7,500,000 shares Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding prior to the business combination will be exchanged for the right to receive 1 share of IAC Series C Preferred Stock (having substantially the same rights as the Alpha Modus Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock), and a contingent right to receive a pro rata portion of the 2,200,000 earnout shares; (iii) eliminates the closing condition that the combined company is obligated to pay off Polar’s indebtedness (up to a maximum of $1,000,000) and Janbella Group, LLC’s (“Janbella”) indebtedness (up to a maximum of $1,000,000) at closing of the business combination; (iv) eliminates the combined company’s obligation to issue each of Polar and Janbella at closing a number of shares of common stock equal to the amount of indebtedness paid off divided by $1.00; (v) requires the combined company to issue the following shares of common stock at closing: (a) 1,392,308 shares to Janbella, (b) 210,000 shares to Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., (c) 90,000 shares to Odeon Group, LLC, and (d) 125,000 shares to Michael Singer; and (vi) extends the “Outside Date” (the date by which the business combination must occur, after which either the Company or Alpha Modus may terminate the AM BCA by providing written notice to the other) to September 9, 2024, from June 7, 2024.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of March 31, 2024, we had $53,377 in our operating bank account available to pay operating expenses and working capital deficit of $4,655,624.

Our liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the IPO were satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to cover for certain offering costs on behalf of the Company in exchange for issuance of the Founder Shares, and the loan from the Sponsor of approximately $163,000 under the Note. We repaid $157,000 of the Note balance on September 7, 2021 and repaid the remaining balance of approximately $6,000 in full on September 13, 2021, at which time the Note was terminated. Subsequent to the consummation of the IPO, our liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2022, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.

On August 17, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $480,000 (the “Note”) to the Sponsor, in exchange for the Sponsor advancing $480,000 to the Company to fund six one-month extensions of the amount of time the Company has to complete its initial business combination, from March 7, 2023 to September 7, 2023. The Note does not bear interest and matures upon the closing of an initial business combination by the Company. In addition, at the option of the holder, the Note may be paid by the Company

138

through the issuance of private placement warrants of the Company at a price of $1.00 per unit. The loan will be forgiven, except to the extent of any funds held outside of the Company’s trust account, by the Sponsor, if Company is unable to consummate an initial business combination. The Note was previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, which was filed on August 17, 2023, and is incorporated herein by reference. On November 6, 2023, the Company entered into a written agreement (the “Rescission Agreement”) to rescind and nullify that certain promissory note in the principal amount of $480,000 and executed on August 17, 2023 (the “Note”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay the Sponsor the principal amount of $480,000 subject to the terms and conditions of the Note. The Rescission Agreement was previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, which was filed on November 7, 2023, and is incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company had until July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent), to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). It is uncertain that we will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. We have determined that the insufficient liquidity as well as the mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. We intend to complete a Business Combination by close of business on December 7, 2024. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after December 7, 2024.

Since August 30, 2023, the Company has drawn down an aggregate amount of $975,000 under the Polar Subscription Agreement, as described below, to fund expenses associated with filing periodic reports with the SEC and pursuing the Alpha Modus Business Combination. The Company cannot draw any additional amounts under the Polar Subscription Agreement, to fund its necessary expenses to consummate the closing of the Alpha Modus Business Combination or otherwise.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on our financial position, results of our operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the condensed financial statements. The 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 condensed financial statements. The specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these condensed financial statements.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. Any share redemption or other share repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise will depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury.

The Company held a meeting on March 6, 2023, whereby the Company’s stockholders voted to approve a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the Combination Period, from March 7, 2023, monthly for up to six additional months at the election of the Company, ultimately until as late as September 7, 2023 (the “Extension”, and such extension date the “Extended Date”). In connection with the March 6, 2023 meeting, 21,151,393 shares of the Company’s common stock were redeemed with a total redemption payment of $215,621,387. As a result, the Company booked a liability of $2,156,214 for the excise tax based on 1% of shares redeemed during the reporting period. For interim periods, an entity is not required to estimate future stock repurchases and stock issuances to measure its excise tax obligation. Rather, an entity can generally record the obligation on an as-incurred basis. In other words, the excise tax obligation recognized at the end of a quarterly financial reporting period is calculated as if the end of the quarterly period was the end of the annual period for which the excise tax obligation is payable.

Pursuant to the AM BCA, (i) in the event the business combination contemplated by the AM BCA occurs, then the surviving company shall pay the Company’s excise tax liability; (ii) if Alpha Modus does not obtain its shareholders approval of the business combination, or Alpha Modus breaches the AM BCA, then Alpha Modus will be responsible to pay the Company’s excise tax liability; and (iii) if an Alpha Modus material adverse effect occurs and the business combination does not close, or if Alpha Modus fails to close the business combination for any reason other than a material breach by the Company, then Alpha Modus will be responsible to pay the Company’s excise tax liability. In all other circumstances the Company will be responsible to pay the Company’s excise tax liability, except if the Company liquidates prior to December 31, 2023, in which event there will be no excise tax liability. The Company will not use any of the funds held in the Trust Account and any additional amounts deposited into the Trust Account, as well as any interest earned thereon, to pay for the Company’s excise tax liability. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holders, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax by the Company have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity since inception up to March 31, 2024 was in preparation for our formation, the IPO and search for a business combination target. We will not generate any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we had net loss of approximately $634,000, which consisted of approximately $60,000 of loss on change in the fair value of derivative liabilities, approximately $353,000 in general and administrative costs, approximately $75,000 in general and administrative costs — related party, approximately $39,000 franchise tax expenses, approximately $227,000 interest expense — debt discount and approximately $21,000 income tax expense, partially offset by approximately $141,000 of gain on investments held in Trust Account.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had net income of approximately $935,000, which consisted of approximately $1.9 million of gain on investments held in Trust Account and approximately $273,000 in other income, partially offset by approximately $176,000 change in the fair value of derivative liabilities, approximately $506,000 in general and administrative costs, approximately $75,000 in general and administrative costs — related party, income tax expense of approximately $416,000 and approximately $50,000 franchise tax expenses.

Contractual Obligations

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares), are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and stockholder rights agreement signed prior to the consummation of the IPO. These holders are entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $4.8 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the IPO. An additional fee of $0.50 per unit, or $12.0 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. On April 3, 2023, the Company received a waiver from one of the underwriters of its Initial Public Offering pursuant to which such underwriter waived all rights to $5.4 million of its $8.4 million deferred underwriting commissions payable upon completion of an initial Business Combination. In connection with this waiver, the underwriter also agreed that the remainder of the deferred underwriting fee of $3.0 million will be payable upon the consummation of the business combination. As of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, $6,600,000 and $12,000,000 were outstanding under deferred underwriting fee payable, respectively. On June 20, 2024, the underwriters entered into settlement agreements with IAC pursuant to which (i) Cantor will be issued 210,000 shares of IAC common stock and Odeon will be issued 90,000 shares of IAC common stock at the closing of the Business Combination, and (ii) Cantor and Odeon will generally waive the right to any further underwriting commission upon receipt of those shares (subject to the other conditions in those agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 10.18 and 10.19 hereto and incorporated by reference herein).

Services Agreement

On September 1, 2021, we entered into an agreement with the Sponsor, pursuant to which we agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to or incurred by members of our management team until the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we incurred approximately $30,000 and $30,000, respectively, under the services agreement in the statements of operations. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $190,000 and $160,000, respectively, was included in accrued expenses — related party on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The board of directors also approved payments of up to $15,000 per month, through the earlier of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation, to members of our management team for services rendered to us. In addition, the Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, executive officers or directors, or the Company’s or their affiliates. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we incurred approximately $45,000 and $45,000, respectively, under the services agreement in the statements of operations. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $270,000 and $225,000, respectively, was included in due to related party on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On June 21, 2024, IAC, the Sponsor, Mr. Singer and Alpha Modus entered into a Fee Waiver Agreement (the “Singer Fee Waiver Agreement”) providing that Mr. Singer would be issued 125,000 shares of IAC common stock (the “Singer Shares”) at closing of the Business Combination, and the Sponsor and Mr. Singer waived, effective upon the issuance of the Singer Shares at closing of the Business Combination, the right to any amounts owed to them for services provided to IAC pursuant to the Sponsor and management payment agreement described above. The foregoing description of the Singer Fee Waiver Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the full text of that agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.17 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The Company has not identified any critical accounting estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K.

JOBS Act

The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, the condensed financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the executive compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our IPO or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

CERTAIN IAC RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in this section to “we,” “our,” “us” and other similar terms refer to IAC before the Business Combination.

Founder Shares

On May 5, 2021, our sponsor paid $25,000 to cover certain of our offering costs in exchange for 6,181,250 Founder Shares, or approximately $0.004 per share. On July 29, 2021, we effected a 1:1.1162791 stock split of our Class B common stock, resulting in our sponsor holding an aggregate of 6,900,000 Founder Shares. On October 16, 2021, as a result of the underwriters’ over-allotment option expiring unexercised, our sponsor surrendered 900,000 shares of our Class B common stock for no consideration, resulting in 6,000,000 Founder Shares outstanding as of the date of this Proxy Statement. The number of Founder Shares outstanding was determined based on the expectation that the total size of our IPO would be a maximum of 27,600,000 units if the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised in full, and therefore that such Founder Shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares after our IPO.

On March 22, 2023, 5,100,000 shares of Class B common stock were exchanged for an equal number of shares of Class A common stock. Such shares are not entitled to redemption rights.

Private Placement Warrants

Our sponsor and the underwriters of our IPO have purchased an aggregate of 8,700,000 private placement warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, or $8,700,000 in the aggregate, in a private placement that closed simultaneously with the closing of our IPO. Of those 8,700,000 private placement warrants, our sponsor agreed to purchase 7,500,000 private placement warrants and Cantor and Odeon agreed to purchase 1,200,000 private placement warrants in the aggregate. Each private placement warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. The private placement warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination.

Services Agreement

On September 1, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to or incurred by members of the Company’s management team until the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation. For the year ended December 31, 2022 and for the period from April 20, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, the Company incurred approximately $120,000 and $40,000, respectively, under the services agreement in the statements of operations. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, $40,000 and $10,000, respectively, was included in accrued expenses — related party on the balance sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we incurred approximately $30,000 and $30,000, respectively, under the services agreement in the statements of operations. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $190,000 and $160,000, respectively, was included in accrued expenses — related party on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The board of directors has also approved payments of up to $15,000 per month, through the earlier of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination or its liquidation, to members of the Company’s management team for services rendered to the Company. In addition, the Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. The Company’s audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, executive officers or directors, or the Company’s or their affiliates. For year ended December 31, 2022 and for the period from April 20, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, the Company incurred approximately $180,000 and $45,000, respectively, under the services agreement in the statements of operations. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, $45,000 and $0, respectively, was included in accrued expenses — related party on the balance sheets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred approximately $45,000 and $135,000, respectively, under the services agreement in the condensed statements of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we incurred approximately $45,000 and $45,000, respectively, under the services agreement in the statements of operations. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $270,000 and $225,000, respectively, was included in due to related party on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On June 21, 2024, IAC, the Sponsor, Mr. Singer and Alpha Modus entered into a Fee Waiver Agreement (the “Singer Fee Waiver Agreement”) providing that Mr. Singer would be issued 125,000 shares of IAC common stock (the “Singer Shares”) at closing of the Business Combination, and the Sponsor and Mr. Singer waived, effective upon the issuance of the Singer Shares at closing of the Business Combination, the right to any amounts owed to them for services provided to IAC pursuant to the Sponsor and management payment agreement described above. The foregoing description of the Singer Fee Waiver Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the full text of that agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.17 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

Except pursuant to the Singer Fee Waiver Agreement described above, or as otherwise disclosed in this Proxy Statement, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, will be paid by the company to our sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection with the completion of an initial business combination. However, these individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our sponsor, officers, directors or our or their affiliates.

Related Party Loans

On April 30, 2021, our sponsor agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to our IPO pursuant to a promissory note. This loan was non-interest bearing and payable upon the completion of our IPO. We borrowed approximately $163,000 under the promissory note. On September 7, 2021, we repaid $157,000 of the promissory note balance and repaid the remaining balance of approximately $6,000 in full on September 13, 2021. Subsequent to the repayment, the facility was no longer available to us.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required on a non-interest basis. If we complete an initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-business combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants. Except as set forth above, the terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. Prior to the completion of our initial business combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our Trust Account.

Any of the foregoing payments to our sponsor or repayments of working capital loans prior to our initial business combination will be made using funds held outside the Trust Account.

After our initial business combination, members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to our stockholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation or tender offer materials, as applicable, furnished to our stockholders. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of distribution of such tender offer materials or at the time of a stockholder meeting held to consider our initial business combination, as applicable, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive and director compensation.

We have entered into a registration rights agreement with respect to the Founder Shares, private placement warrants and warrants issued upon conversion of working capital loans (if any).

Polar-Sponsor Funding

On August 30, 2023, the Company, Sponsor and Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (“Polar”), an investor, entered into an agreement (the “Polar Subscription Agreement”) in which Polar has agreed to fund the Sponsor up to $1,000,000, pursuant to written draw down requests (a “Capital Call”), and the Sponsor will in turn loan such funds to the Company, to cover the Company’s working capital expenses (each a “Sponsor Loan”). In September 2023, Polar funded Sponsor $150,000 under the Polar Subscription Agreement, and the Sponsor loaned the Company $150,000

from Polar. All subsequent Capital Calls are subject to the mutual consent of the Company, Sponsor and Polar. All Capital Calls funded by Polar shall not accrue interest and are repayable by the Sponsor at the closing of the Company’s initial business combination. At the option of Polar, all Capital Calls funded by Polar may be repaid by the Company through the issuance of 1 share of Class A Common Stock for each $10 of the outstanding Capital Calls funded by Polar. Sponsor is also responsible to reimburse Polar for its reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in connection with the Polar Subscription Agreement up to $5,000. In the event a business combination does not occur and the Company’s liquidates, then all Capital Calls funded by Polar will be repaid up to the amount of cash held in the Sponsor’s bank accounts and/or the Company’s bank accounts, excluding the Company’s Trust Account. The Sponsor Loans shall not accrue interest and shall be repaid by the Company at the closing of the business combination.

In consideration of the funds received, the Company will issue, at the closing of its business combination, to Polar one (1) shares of the company’s Class A Common Stock for each dollar Polar funds through the Capital Calls (“Polar Subscription Shares”). The Polar Subscription Shares shall not be subject to any transfer restrictions or any other lock-up provisions, earn outs, or other contingencies. The Polar Subscription Shares (i) to the extent feasible and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations shall be registered as part of any registration statement issuing shares before or in connection with the Business Combination Closing, or (ii) if no such registration statement is filed in connection with the Business Combination Closing, shall promptly be registered pursuant to the first registration statement filed by the Company or the surviving entity following the Business Combination Closing, which shall be filed no later than 30 days after the Business Combination Closing and declared effective no later than 90 days after the Business Combination Closing. The Sponsor shall not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any securities owned by the Sponsor until the Polar Subscription Shares have been transferred to the Investor and the registration statement has been made effective.

In the event the Sponsor of the Company defaults in their obligations under the Polar Subscription Agreement (a “Sponsor Default”), then the Sponsor shall be required to transfer to Polar 0.1 shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock for each $1 that Polar has funded under the Capital Calls as of the date of such Default and shall be required to repeat such issuance for each month such Sponsor Default continues.

The foregoing description of the Polar Subscription Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the actual agreement, a copy of which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 10.10 hereto.

On May 15, 2024, the Company, Sponsor and Polar entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Subscription Agreement (the “Amendment”) pursuant to which Polar’s aggregate advance under the Subscription Agreement was reduced from $1,000,000 to $975,000 and in the event the Company consummates the business combination with Alpha Modus Corp., then the Company will not be obligated to issue to Polar one (1) share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for each dollar Polar advances to the Company under the Subscription Agreement at the closing of the business combination. However, if the Company consummates a business combination with an entity other than Alpha Modus, Corp., then the Company is obligated to issue to Polar one (1) share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for each dollar Polar advances to the Company under the Subscription Agreement at the closing of the business combination with an entity other than Alpha Modus, Corp. (the “Subscription Shares”). The Subscription Shares shall be subject to no transfer restrictions or any other lock-up provisions, earn outs, or other contingencies. The Subscription Shares (i) to the extent feasible and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations shall be registered as part of any registration statement issuing shares before or in connection with the closing of the business combination or (ii) if no such registration statement is filed in connection with the closing of the business combination, shall promptly be registered pursuant to the first registration statement filed by the Company or the surviving entity following the closing of the business combination, which shall be filed no later than 30 days after the closing of the business combination and declared effective no later than 90 days after the closing of the business combination. Sponsor shall not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any securities owned by the Sponsor until the Subscription Shares have been transferred to the Investor and the registration statement has been made effective.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the actual Amendment, a copy of which is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 10.11 hereto.

INFORMATION ABOUT ALPHA MODUS

Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “Alpha Modus,” “we,” “us,” “our” and “our company” in this section are to the business and operations of Alpha Modus prior to the Business Combination.

Business Description

Alpha Modus engages in creating, developing and licensing data-driven technologies to enhance consumers’ in-store digital experience at the point of decision. The company was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Cornelius, North Carolina.

Since its launch, Alpha Modus has defined and kept to its corporate mission by solving pain-points using actionable insights found in previously unstructured data and through the use of artificial intelligence which turns previously unstructured data, into valuable actionable insights. Alpha Modus began serving several clients in the financial markets and real estate industry. It was through these efforts that Alpha Modus gained acceptance for its thought-leading technology in data analytics as an IBM partner by leveraging the use of IBM Blue Mix cloud services platform powered by Watson. In 2016, following rigorous engagement and working alongside partner IBM, Alpha Modus was presented with a Beacon Award for “Best New Application on IBM Cloud” and anointed with the title “IBM’s born on the cloud, start-up of the century.” This award came as a result of Alpha Modus developing an algorithmic trading concept to better predict New York Stock Exchange market activity into the close of trading.

In 2017, Alpha Modus was introduced to Michael Garel, Founder and CEO of eyeQ. eyeQ was also an IBM partner and a recipient of an IBM Beacon award in 2015. eyeQ was an Austin, Texas-based startup with a focus on serving the retail sector with hardware devices which accompanied a SaaS revenue model. With the original intent of Alpha Modus leveraging eyeQ’s technology, which gathered consumer and brand metadata, for the purpose of predicting retail sales data, Alpha Modus acquired eyeQ’s assets and pending patent applications in 2018. After the acquisition, Alpha Modus took over management of the eyeQ patent portfolio, including the pending patent applications. This led to the ‘571 patent issuance in August of 2019. During this time, Alpha Modus attempted to license the ‘571 patent to previous eyeQ customers and prospective customers in the eyeQ sales pipeline. However, the technology covered under the ‘571 patent was not yet embraced by most retailers. Additionally, other previous customers and prospective customers in the eyeQ sales pipeline were beginning to launch their own internal initiatives for data-driven point-of-sale technologies. Faced with difficulty in licensing the single ‘571 patent while trying to re-engaging eyeQ’s previous clientele, Alpha Modus chose to pause immediate sales and licensing efforts and focus solely on continued innovation of the technology covered by the ‘571 patent, which evolved into additional patents and services that are in a better position to compete for licensing and services revenue in the foreseeable future.

As technological innovation is at the core of the company, Alpha Modus has developed comprehensive end-to-end patented solutions for retailers and consumer brands to bring innovation to consumers and enhance their experience at the point of sale. Some examples that the ‘571 patent family could potentially include use in the following:

        targeted marketing campaigns;

        actionable insights on consumer product packaging;

        inventory control;

        smart planograms;

        in-store heatmapping of consumer traffic;

        consumer behavior; and

        staffing needs based on foot traffic in a retail location.

The primary focus of Alpha Modus’ technology is to analyze consumer behavior and their interactions with retail products in real-time with the objective to provide brands and retailers the ability to achieve the following:

Enhance the Consumer’s In-Store Experience

        Engage consumers with interactive output displays throughout brick-and-mortar retail stores to capture critical decision-making at the point of sale.

        Cater to specific and immediate needs of the consumer.

        Capture MAC address tracking data, user eye tracking, object identification of goods throughout the store.

Acquisition of eyeQ

The company eyeQ was founded in 2013 and was an operating entity until December 2018, when it was acquired by Alpha Modus. At the time of acquisition, US Patent No. 10,360,571 (“the ‘571 patent”) was still a pending application. Post-acquisition, the inventors of the inventions claimed in the ‘571 patent family were engaged by Alpha Modus as advisors. Currently, Michael Garel, the eyeQ founder and a co-inventor of the inventions, is the only one of the inventors of the inventions claimed in the ‘571 patent family that continues to be an Alpha Modus advisor. Chris Chumas, Alpha Modus’ Chief Strategy Officer and a former IBM client executive, currently manages the Alpha Modus research and patent development efforts. Since acquiring eyeQ and the ‘571 application, Alpha Modus was awarded the first patent in the ‘571 patent family in July 2019. Since August of 2019, several continuation patents have been issued in the ‘571 patent family.

The ‘571 Patent Family and the uses thereof

The ‘571 patent family is based on US Patent No. 10,360,571, which issued on July 23, 2019. The ‘571 patent claims priority to a provisional patent application filed on July 19, 2013.

The patents cover various inventions related to user interactions in physical locations, and based on such interactions, the displaying as ads of items or information that would potentially be relevant to the user. For example, cameras monitor customers and can understand their purchasing interests and provide offers or recommendations to a customer of similar products including coupons, sales, etc.

The ‘571 Patent relates to a method for monitoring and analyzing consumer behavior in real-time, particularly within retail environments. It utilizes various information monitoring devices to collect data about consumers, enhancing their shopping experience through targeted and personalized digital interactions.

The inventors of the ‘571 Patent identified a critical need in the retail industry, especially brick-and-mortar stores, to adapt to the evolving shopping habits influenced by online retail and social media. The patent addresses the challenge of providing an enriched in-store experience that rivals online shopping, thus countering trends like showrooming.

The ‘571 Patent describes and claims a specific method that involves using information monitoring devices, like video image devices, to gather data about shoppers. This data includes demographic characteristics (such as gender and age), sentiment, and tracking details (like movement and eye tracking). The patent details the process of analyzing this data in real-time and providing various responses, such as targeted marketing, personal engagement, or offering coupons, to enhance the shopping experience.

The ‘825 patent is directed to a method of using devices to gather information about the shopper including demographic (gender and/or age) and tracking (tracking movement by the shopper or eye tracking what the shopper is looking at), and analyzing and utilizing this information to provide real time assistance to the shopper by selecting the proper sales associate to interact with the shopper.

The ‘880 patent is directed to a method of using devices to gather information about shopper’s interactions with a product and object information of the products interacted with by the shopper and analyzing and utilizing this information and responding for inventory management.

The ‘120 patent is directed to a method of using devices to gather information about the shopper including demographic (gender and/or age) and tracking (tracking movement by the shopper or eye tracking what the shopper is looking at) and analyzing and utilizing this information to provide real time assistance to the shopper by selecting the proper sales associate to interact with the shopper.

The ‘890 Patent relates to an improved method for enhancing customer assistance in retail stores through the use of advanced information monitoring systems. The inventors of the ’890 Patent recognized the need for brick-and-mortar retailers to adapt to the changing consumer behavior influenced by digital technology.

The patent offers a solution by integrating technology to analyze customer interactions with products in real-time, providing targeted assistance and enhancing the shopping experience. The ’890 Patent provides several advancements over previous methods, such as real-time analysis of customer interactions with products, including sentiment and object identification information, and utilizing this data to manage inventory and offer personalized responses.

The ‘672 Patent introduces a novel system for real-time inventory management, marketing, and advertising within a retail store setting. The ‘672 Patent addresses the emerging challenges in the retail sector, particularly for brick-and-mortar stores, in the context of the increasing prevalence of online shopping and the phenomenon of showrooming. The patent provides innovative solutions to enhance in-store customer experiences and counter the competitive pressures from online retail.

The inventors of the ‘672 Patent recognized that there existed a significant gap in the brick-and-mortar retail sector’s ability to provide real-time, personalized experiences to customers, a feature commonly leveraged by online retailers. The patent offers a method and system that bridges this gap by utilizing technology to analyze consumer behavior and dynamically adjust marketing and inventory strategies.

Additional patent applications are pending, and prosecution for expansion of claims is open and ongoing. The ‘571 patent received a patent term extension of 1,042 days and does not expire until May 25, 2037. The other patents in the family expire on July 18, 2034. Therefore, there is significant patent life remaining in the ‘571 patent family. Beginning well before the current expiration of our entire patent Family, Alpha Modus intends to continue evolving with the industry and developing new concepts that support increasing revenue streams. Alpha Modus intends to expand the use of our patent family as a lever to develop a sales team to drive potential partnerships authorized under the ‘571 patent family.

Alpha Modus believes the ‘571 patent and several family members are being infringed by many major retailers, service providers and consumer brands, and that the adoption of the ‘571 patent (and family) technology is occurring at an exponential pace in the retail marketplace.

Market Analysis

Alpha Modus believes it is at the center of major shifts in technology, consumer preferences and industry trends that are catalyzing the adoption of Alpha Modus’ patented solutions across its target retail markets.

Retail media is on track to be a $45 billion industry this year (2023), up 20% from the prior year, according to Insider Intelligence. The market researcher expects that growth to accelerate in the coming years and reach about $106 billion in 2027. See https://www.insiderintelligence.com/content/in-store-retail-media-2023. It is estimated that US digital-influenced retail sales will top $3.8 trillion in 2027. See https://www.forrester.com/blogs/us-digital-influenced-retail-sales-will-top-3-8-trillion-in-2027/.

Approach and Value Proposition

Upon its first notification of allowance for the ‘571 patent in July of 2019, Alpha Modus decided to focus 100% of its resources on the expansion of the technology described in the ‘571 patent. The services covered by the ‘571 patent were just beginning to be adopted by retailers. Alpha Modus’ strategy was to build out the technology, resulting in a robust patent portfolio that would serve its stakeholders better, as early thought leaders in the retail digital marketing space. Alpha Modus intends to monetize its patent portfolio through licensing over the course of the next twelve months.

Alpha Modus has engaged Dickinson Wright PLLC to lead licensing and enforcement efforts beginning in Q1 2024.

Services and Revenue Model

Alpha Modus is currently a non-revenue producing company which focuses on licensing its services to retailers. Alpha Modus’ core asset is the ‘571 patent family, which was developed before the presence of services and/or offerings covered by the ‘571 patent family were in demand in the retail marketplace. Over the past two years, there have been significant developments in the retail sector, specifically with regard to digital in-store marketing and inventory management. As a result, Alpha Modus has focused recent efforts on preparing its intellectual property for licensing to third parties, identifying potential licensee targets, and identifying third parties which it believes have infringed on Alpha’s intellectual property.

On January 11, 2024, Alpha Modus entered into an intellectual property license agreement with GZ6G Technologies Corp. (“GZ6G”). The license agreement gives GZ6G the right to use Alpha Modus’ patented intellectual property, and pertains to GZ6G’s promotional, advertising, and operational functions, including co-development arrangements with Alpha Modus for AI-driven advertising solutions for stadiums and event management. The license agreement provides that GZ6G and Alpha Modus will share equally all revenues derived from co-developed service offerings, and that Alpha Modus will be paid continuing license fees in the amount of 10% of GZ6G’s gross revenues derived from sales of products utilizing or enhanced to use Alpha Modus’ licensed intellectual property. Alpha Modus intends to deploy services under the license by the end of 2024, expand event venue service offerings in late 2025, and expand service offerings in additional industries in 2024.

On April 10, 2024, Alpha Modus entered into a license agreement with Xalles Holdings Inc. and its subsidiary, CashXAI Inc. (“CashX”), which gives CashX the exclusive right to use all of Alpha Modus’s patented intellectual property in connection with CashX’s promotional, advertising, and operational functions, including co-development arrangements with Alpha Modus, within the Exclusive Industry. The “Exclusive Industry” means the industry relating to self-service kiosks located in retail food, drug and convenience stores for the purpose of serving Unbanked and Underbanked consumers, by offering banking, phone and insurance solutions to the consumer. An “Unbanked” consumer means a person that does not have a checking or savings account with an FDIC-insured institution, and an “Underbanked” consumer means a person that has or had a checking or savings account with an FDIC-insured institution, but regularly uses non-traditional banks such as Venmo or the Cash App, or lenders such as a check cashing company or payday lender. Alpha Modus intends to deploy services under the license by the end of 2024.

On January 16, 2024, Alpha Modus initiated a patent infringement action against The Kroger Company alleging patent infringement of several Alpha Modus patents pertaining to the Company’s ‘571 patent portfolio encompassing retail marketing and advertising data-driven technologies to enhance consumer’s in-store experience at the point of decision.

Table of Contents

Alpha Modus intends to expand enforcement of its patent rights throughout 2024, and expects that those expanded patent enforcement efforts will led by its patent counsel, Dickinson Wright PLLC. Alpha Modus also has plans to develop an internal sales and marketing staff for licensing or sales upon closing of the pending transaction with Insight Acquisition Corp, Inc.

Competition

The retail advertising markets in which Alpha Modus competes are rapidly evolving as retailers increasingly adopt in-store digital marketing and inventory management technologies. Alpha Modus has invested, and intends to invest, significant resources in ongoing research and development programs because it believes its ability to generate licensing revenues and grow market position depends, in part, on innovative technologies that offer a unique value proposition for Alpha Modus licensees and differentiation from competitors’ efforts. Alpha Modus believes the ‘571 patent family covers a wide range of use cases in its domain and will serve as a cornerstone for gaining market share.

Based upon internal market research, Alpha Modus believes that there are numerous companies practicing the ‘571 patents, and that in order to practice the technology claimed by the ‘571 patent, these companies will have no alternative but to become licensees of the ‘571 patent family.

Business Operations Advantage

With a licensing-centric business model, Alpha Modus anticipates that it will be able to operate with a small operations team of no more than 6-10 professionals, which will allow Alpha Modus to not burn significant cash resources and instead focus on results-driven R&D efforts. R&D efforts will be led by Alpha Modus’ CEO and Founder, William Alessi, and Chief Sales Officer, Chris Chumas. William Alessi and Chris Chumas will lead licensing efforts through infringement enforcement supported by a small internal sales force team. Alpha Modus has a core focus on isolating infringement targets and enforcing action to secure licensing. The range of enforcement suits is vast and wide, but there is no guarantee that Alpha Modus will be successful in its efforts.

Research and Development

The majority of Alpha Modus R&D activities occur virtually. The company’s R&D team also partners with its legal team with the goal of developing further complimenting technologies to the company’s expanding ‘571 patent family.

Alpha Modus’ R&D team consists of technical operators and professionals with experience from a wide variety of leading advertising, marketing, legal, technology, business and brand organizations. This team of specialists continues to monitor the retail industry and expand the landscape of the ‘571 patent family through new patent applications, and work with litigation counsel to blueprint enforcement and licensing of infringement.

Near-Term and Long-Term Vision

Alpha Modus intends to begin generating licensing revenue in 2024 with a steady growth rate in parallel to the current projected industry growth rate cited by Insider Intelligence. Alpha Modus believes that the ‘571 patent family could soon become an acquisition target for larger competitors practicing the ‘571 patent family.

Facilities

Alpha Modus’ headquarters is a virtual facility with an address in Cornelius, North Carolina. Having a virtual headquarters has allowed Alpha Modus to operate with minimal overhead that was not needed to support its current staff. Operations, research and development functions are currently conducted virtually, and Alpha Modus believes its current virtual facility is adequate and suitable for its current needs. Alpha Modus’ plans to expand licensing the ‘571 family of patents through a small internal sales team will require Alpha Modus to secure a suitable alternative space to accommodate its operations.

The increase in net loss during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, was primarily attributed to the increased professional fees and interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2024 described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2022, the Company had cash of $31,523 and $106,809, respectively. We do not have sufficient resources to effectuate our business. We expect to incur expenses during the next twelve months of operations. We estimate that these expenses will be comprised primarily of general expenses including overhead, legal and accounting fees. To maintain our plan of growth, we believe we will need to raise a minimum of an additional $2,500,000. These factors raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Operations used cash of $515,181 for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $27,403 for the same period in 2022.

We had net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023, of $618,984, compared to $25,444 for the same period in 2022.

Operations used cash of $175,286 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $46,588 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

We had net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024, of $100,000, compared to $107,200 for the same period in 2023.

We will have to raise funds to pay for our expenses. We may have to borrow money from shareholders or issue debt or equity or enter into a strategic arrangement with a third party. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us. We currently have no arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources. Since we have no such arrangements or plans currently in effect, our inability to raise funds for our operations will have a severe negative impact on our ability to remain a viable company.

Emerging Growth Company Status

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 are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can choose not to take advantage of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, and any such election to not take advantage of the extended transition period is irrevocable.

IAC is an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act and has elected to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period for new or revised financial accounting standards. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, Alpha Modus expects to remain an emerging growth company at least through the end of the 2023 fiscal year and to continue to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period, although it may decide to early adopt such new or revised accounting standards to the extent permitted by such standards. This may make it difficult or impossible to compare Alpha Modus’ financial results with the financial results of another public company that is either not an emerging growth company or is an emerging growth company that has chosen not to take advantage of the extended transition period exemptions because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an emerging growth company, we intend to rely on such exemptions, we are not required to, among other things: (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis); and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation-related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.

We will remain an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act until the earliest of (i) the last day of our first fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the IAC IPO, (ii) the last date of our fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, (iii) the date on we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the rules of the SEC with at least $700.0 million of outstanding common equity held by non-affiliates, or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the previous three years.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES OF IAC

The following summary of the material terms of the IAC’s securities following the Business Combination is not intended to be a complete summary of the rights and preferences of such securities. We urge you to read the proposed Amended and Restated Charter in its entirety for a complete description of the rights and preferences of IAC’s securities following the Business Combination. The proposed Amended and Restated Charter is described in “The Amended and Restated Charter Proposal (Proposal 2),” and the full text of the proposed Amended and Restated Charter is attached as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus.

Pursuant to the IAC Charter, our authorized capital stock consists of 200,000,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value, 20,000,000 shares of IAC Class B common stock, $0.0001 par value, and 1,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, $0.0001 par value. Following the Business Combination, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Charter, the authorized capital stock of New IAC will consist of 200,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value, 20,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, $0.0001 par value (all outstanding shares of which shall automatically convert into Class B common stock at closing of the Business Combination), and 8,500,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value, 7,500,000 shares of which will be designated as Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, and 1,000,000 shares of which will remain undesignated preferred stock. The following description summarizes the material terms of the capital stock of New IAC after the Business Combination. Because it is only a summary, it may not contain all the information that is important to you.

Units

Each unit had an offering price of $10.00 and consists of one whole share of IAC Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of IAC Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. On September 1, 2021, IAC closed the IAC IPO for the sale of [•] units, including [•] units issued pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option in full, at a price of $10.00 per unit.

Common Stock

Upon the Closing, shares of IAC Class B common stock will be converted into IAC Class A common stock in accordance with the IAC Charter on a 1-for-1 basis, and all outstanding shares of IAC common stock will be IAC Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which shares are referred to herein as New IAC common stock. Although the IAC Charter (Section 4.3(b)(ii)) provides for an anti-dilutive adjustment to the IAC Class B-to-IAC Class A common stock conversion ratio (to a ratio greater than 1-for-1) if the number of shares of IAC Class A common stock issued or deemed issued in connection with the Business Combination is in excess of the number of shares of IAC Class A common stock issued in the IAC IPO, that anti-dilutive adjustment will not be triggered at the Closing since more than 24,000,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock (the number of shares of IAC Class A common stock issued in the IAC IPO) will not be issued in connection with the Business Combination.

It is anticipated that, immediately after the Closing of the Business Combination, New IAC will have a total of 13,731,388 shares of New IAC common stock issued and outstanding. The foregoing excludes any outstanding Warrants and assumes that (i) there are no redemptions of any shares by IAC’s public stockholders in connection with the Business Combination, (ii) IAC does not engage in any kind of additional equity financing prior to the Closing, and (iii) no earnout shares are issued to the Alpha Modus stockholders or released to the Sponsor, as the applicable milestones relating thereto are not expected to be achieved within 60 days of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. If the actual facts are different than these assumptions (which they are likely to be), the total number of shares of New IAC common stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing of the Business Combination will be different.

Common stockholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. Unless specified in the Amended and Restated Charter or Proposed Bylaws, or as required by applicable provisions of the DGCL or applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of a majority of our shares of New IAC common stock that are voted is required to approve any such matter voted on by our stockholders.

All of the outstanding IAC Class B common stock will convert into shares of New IAC common stock at the Closing of the Business Combination on a 1-for-1 basis. With certain limited exceptions, the Founder Shares are not transferable, assignable or salable (except to our officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the Sponsor and/or the Anchor Investors, each of whom will be subject to the same transfer restrictions) until the earlier of (A) six months after the Closing or (B) subsequent to our initial business combination, (x) if the last reported sale

154

Table of Contents

price of IAC Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 60 days after our initial business combination, or (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Preferred Stock

The Amended and Restated Charter authorizes the issuance of 8,500,000 shares of preferred stock, 7,500,000 shares of which shall be designated as Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”), and 1,000,000 shares of which will be undesignated.

The Series C Preferred Stock will having the following rights:

(i)     Ranking.    The Series C Preferred Stock will rank senior to the IAC common stock and other classes of IAC preferred stock with respect to rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution.

(ii)    Voting.    Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to the vote of IAC’s shareholders;

(iii)   Dividends.    The Series C Preferred Stock shall be treated pari passu with the IAC common stock except that the dividends per share payable on the Series C Preferred Stock shall equal the dividend per share declared on each share of IAC common stock multiplied by $10.00 (the “Face Value”) and divided by the applicable Conversion Price (as defined below). “Conversion Price” means a price per share equal to the lesser of either the Face Value, or (a) if no Trigger Event (as defined below) has occurred, 100% of the average of the 5 lowest closing bid prices of the IAC common stock during the 10 days preceding the conversion notice date (the “Measurement Period”), not to exceed 100% of the lowest sales price on the last day of the Measurement Period, or (b) following any Trigger Event, 50.0% of the average of the lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the Measurement Period, not to exceed 50.0% of the lowest sales price on the last day of such Measurement Period. “Trigger Event” generally means (a) a failure of a holder of Series C Preferred Stock to receive conversion shares when required; (b) IAC’s violation of or failure to timely perform any covenant in the designation of the Series C Preferred Stock or any agreement between IAC and the Series C Preferred Stockholder that is either (x) related to the payment of cash or delivery of conversion shares, or (y) curable, has not occurred before, and is not cured within 5 trading days of notice; (c) IAC’s suspension from trading or delisting from its principal trading exchange or market; (d) notification of an intention for IAC or its transfer agent not to comply with a conversion notice; (e) IAC’s bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation or similar proceedings; (f) the appointment of a custodian, receiver or similar official for IAC; (g) the entry of judgments against IAC in excess of $500,000 which are not stayed or satisfied within 30 days of entry; (h) IAC’s failure to comply with reporting requirements of Securities Exchange Act; (i) the initiation of any regulatory, administrative or enforcement proceeding against IAC; or (j) any material provision of the designation of the Series C Preferred Stock ceases to be valid or is contested.

(iv)   Liquidation.    Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of IAC, holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall be paid the Face Value per share, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends (the “Liquidation Value”).

(v)    Redemption.    IAC shall be obligated to pay holders the Liquidation Value to redeem the Series C Preferred Stock upon the occurrence of a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined below) or Trigger Event (as defined below). “Deemed Liquidation Event” generally means (a) a merger or consolidation where IAC or a subsidiary is a party to the merger and IAC issues shares of stock (except for domicile mergers and mergers not constituting a change of control); (b) IAC issues convertible or equity securities that senior to the Series C Preferred Stock in any respect; (c) a holder does not receive conversion shares upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock within 5 trading days due to the occurrence of an event that is solely within the control of IAC; (d) trading of the common stock is halted or suspended for 10 or more consecutive trading days due to the occurrence of an event that is solely within the control of IAC; or (e) a sale or other disposition of substantially all the assets of IAC that is not approved by the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock.

155

Table of Contents

(vi)   Conversion.    Shares of Series C Preferred Stock are not convertible until 18 months following Closing of the Business Combination so long as a Trigger Event has not occurred. Beginning 18 months following Closing of the Business Combination, or following the occurrence of a Trigger Event, shares of Series C Preferred Stock are convertible at election of the holder at the then-applicable Conversion Price.

The Amended and Restated Charter provides that shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Our board of directors will be authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series of preferred stock. Our board of directors will be able to, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the common stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of our board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us or the removal of existing management. We have no preferred stock outstanding at the date hereof. Although we do not currently intend to issue any shares of preferred stock other than the 7,500,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock issuable in the Business Combination, we cannot assure you that we will not do so in the future.

Warrants

Public Warrants

Each Public Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of New IAC common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing 30 days after the Closing. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the Closing of the Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

We will not be obligated to deliver any shares of New IAC common stock pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of New IAC common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to our satisfying our obligations described below with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and we will not be obligated to issue shares of New IAC common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless the New IAC common stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a Public Warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will we be required to net cash settle any warrant.

We are not registering the shares of New IAC common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants at this time. However, we have agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the Closing of the Business Combination, we will use our best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the shares of New IAC common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of New IAC common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the shares of New IAC common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the Closing of the Business Combination, warrantholders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the New IAC common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective within a specified period following the Closing of the Business Combination, warrantholders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis.

Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, we may call the warrants for redemption:

        in whole and not in part;

        at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

156

Table of Contents

        upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrantholder; and

        if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the New IAC common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before we send the notice of redemption to the warrantholders.

As of [•], the sales price of the IAC Class A Common Stock did not exceed the threshold that would allow New IAC to redeem the Public Warrants.

If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by us, we may not exercise our redemption right if the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or we are unable to effect such registration or qualification.

We have established the last of the redemption criteria discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and we issue a notice of redemption of the Public Warrants, each warrantholder will be entitled to exercise its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the New IAC common stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $11.50 warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.

If we call the Public Warrants for redemption as described above, our management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise its warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis,” our management will consider, among other factors, our cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on our stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of New IAC common stock issuable upon the exercise of our warrants. If our management takes advantage of this option, all holders of Public Warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of New IAC common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of New IAC common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the New IAC common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. If our management takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares of New IAC common stock to be received upon exercise of the Public Warrants, including the “fair market value” in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a warrant redemption. We believe this feature is an attractive option to us if we do not need the cash from the exercise of the warrants after the Closing. If we call our Public Warrants for redemption and our management does not take advantage of this option, Sponsor and its permitted transferees would still be entitled to exercise their Private Placement Warrants for cash or on a cashless basis using the same formula described above that other warrantholders would have been required to use had all warrantholders been required to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis, as described in more detail below.

A holder of a Public Warrant may notify us in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the warrant agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% or 9.8% (or such other amount as a holder may specify) of the shares of New IAC common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

If the number of outstanding shares of New IAC common stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of New IAC common stock, or by a split-up of shares of New IAC common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of New IAC common stock issuable on exercise of each Public Warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of New IAC common stock. A rights offering to holders of New IAC common stock entitling holders to purchase shares of New IAC common stock at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a stock dividend of a number of shares of New IAC common stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of New IAC common stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for New IAC common stock) and (ii) one (1) minus the quotient of (x) the price per share of New IAC common stock paid in such rights offering divided by (y) the fair market value. For these purposes

157

Table of Contents

(i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for New IAC common stock, in determining the price payable for New IAC common stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of New IAC common stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the shares of New IAC common stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

In addition, if we, at any time while the Public Warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of New IAC common stock on account of such shares of New IAC common stock (or other shares of our capital stock into which the warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described above, (b) certain ordinary cash dividends, (c) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of New IAC common stock in connection with the Closing of the Business Combination, (d) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of New IAC common stock in connection with a stockholder vote to amend and restate the IAC Charter (i) for an extension, or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, or (e) in connection with the redemption of our public shares upon our failure to complete our initial business combination, then the warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each share of New IAC common stock in respect of such event.

If the number of outstanding shares of our New IAC common stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of New IAC common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of New IAC common stock issuable on exercise of each Public Warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of New IAC common stock.

Whenever the number of shares of New IAC common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Public Warrants is adjusted, as described above, the warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of New IAC common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of New IAC common stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of New IAC common stock (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such shares of New IAC common stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of us with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which we are the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of our outstanding shares of New IAC common stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of us as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which we are dissolved, the holders of the Public Warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the warrants and in lieu of the shares of our New IAC common stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their warrants immediately prior to such event. If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of New IAC common stock in such a transaction is payable in the form of New IAC common stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the warrant properly exercises the warrant within thirty days following public disclosure of such transaction, the warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the warrant agreement based on the Black-Scholes value (as defined in the warrant agreement) of the warrant. The purpose of such exercise price reduction is to provide additional value to holders of the warrants when an extraordinary transaction occurs during the exercise period of the warrants pursuant to which the holders of the warrants otherwise do not receive the full potential value of the warrants in order to determine and realize the option value component of the warrant. This formula is to compensate the warrantholder for the loss of the option value portion of the warrant due to the requirement that the warrantholder exercise the warrant within 30 days of the event. The Black-Scholes model is an accepted pricing model for estimating fair market value where no quoted market price for an instrument is available.

158

Table of Contents

The Public Warrants were issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and IAC. You should review a copy of the warrant agreement, which has been publicly filed with the SEC and which you can find in the list of exhibits to this registration statement, for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the warrants. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding Public Warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of Public Warrants.

The Public Warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrantholders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of New IAC common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of New IAC common stock. After the issuance of shares of New IAC common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one (1) vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number of shares of New IAC common stock to be issued to the warrantholder.

Private Warrants

The private placement warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination (except, among other limited exceptions as described under “Principal Stockholders — Transfers of Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants,” to our officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the initial purchasers of the private placement warrants) and they will not be redeemable by us so long as they are held by the initial stockholders or their permitted transferees. The initial purchasers, or their permitted transferees, have the option to exercise the private placement warrants on a cashless basis. Except as described in this section, the private placement warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the warrants being sold as part of the units in this offering. If the private placement warrants are held by holders other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the private placement warrants will be redeemable by us for cash and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units being sold in this offering.

If holders of the private placement warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering his, her or its warrants for that number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” of our Class A common stock (defined below) over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” will mean the average closing price of the Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent. The reason that we have agreed that these warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees is because it is not known at this time whether they will be affiliated with us following a business combination. If they remain affiliated with us, their ability to sell our securities in the open market will be significantly limited. We expect to have policies in place that prohibit insiders from selling our securities except during specific periods of time. Even during such periods of time when insiders will be permitted to sell our securities, an insider cannot trade in our securities if he or she is in possession of material non-public information. Accordingly, unlike public stockholders who could exercise their warrants and sell the shares of Class A common stock received upon such exercise freely in the open market in order to recoup the cost of such exercise, the insiders could be significantly restricted from selling such securities. As a result, we believe that allowing the holders to exercise such warrants on a cashless basis is appropriate.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants of the post business combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants.

Our initial stockholders and the underwriters have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the private placement warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of any of these warrants) until the date that is 30 days after the date we complete our initial business combination, except that, among other limited exceptions as described under “Principal Stockholders — Transfers of Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants,” transfers can be made to our officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the sponsor or the underwriters.

In addition, for as long as the private placement warrants are held by Cantor or Odeon or their respective designees or affiliates, they will be subject to the lock-up and registration rights limitations imposed by FINRA Rule 5110 and may not be exercised after five years from the commencement of sales of this offering.

Dividends

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock to date and do not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the Closing of the Business Combination. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial conditions subsequent to the Closing. The payment of any cash dividends subsequent to the Closing will be within the discretion of our board of directors at such time. Further, if we incur any indebtedness, our ability to declare dividends may be limited by restrictive covenants we may agree to in connection therewith.

Our Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent

The transfer agent for our common stock and warrant agent for our warrants is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. We have agreed to indemnify Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company in its roles as transfer agent and warrant agent, its agents and each of its stockholders, directors, officers and employees against all claims and losses that may arise out of acts performed or omitted for its activities in that capacity, except for any liability due to any gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the indemnified person or entity.

The IAC Charter

The IAC Charter contains certain requirements and restrictions relating to the IAC IPO that will apply to us until the completion of our initial business combination. These provisions cannot be amended without the approval of the holders of 65% of our common stock. The Sponsor and the Anchor Investors, who collectively beneficially own approximately [•]% of our common stock may participate in any vote to amend the IAC Charter and will have the discretion to vote in any manner they choose. Specifically, the IAC Charter provides, among other things, that:

        If we are unable to complete our initial business combination prior to July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent), we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law;

        Prior to our initial business combination, we may not issue additional shares of capital stock that would entitle the holders thereof to (i) receive funds from the trust account or (ii) vote on any initial business combination;

        Although we do not intend to enter into an initial business combination with a target business that is affiliated with our Sponsor, our directors or our officers, we are not prohibited from doing so. In the event we enter into such a transaction, we, or a committee of independent directors, will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of FINRA or an independent accounting firm that such an initial business combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view;

160

Table of Contents

        If a stockholder vote on our initial business combination is not required by law and we do not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, we will offer to redeem our public shares pursuant to Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act, and will file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing our initial business combination which contain substantially the same financial and other information about our initial business combination and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act; whether or not we maintain our registration under the our Exchange Act or our listing on Nasdaq, we will provide our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares by one of the two methods listed above;

        So long as we obtain and maintain a listing for our securities on Nasdaq, Nasdaq rules require that we must complete one or more business combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the trust account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the trust account) at the time of our signing a definitive agreement in connection with our initial business combination;

        If our stockholders approve an amendment to the IAC Charter (i) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination by July 7, 2024 (or up to December 7, 2024 in the event the Company extends such date to the fullest extent), or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity, we will provide our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their shares of IAC Class A common stock upon such approval at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares; and

        We will not effectuate our initial business combination with another blank check company or a similar company with nominal operations.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law and the Amended and Restated Charter and the Proposed Bylaws

New IAC will be subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL regulating corporate takeovers. This statute prevents certain Delaware corporations, under certain circumstances, from engaging in a “business combination” with:

        a stockholder who owns 15% or more of New IAC’s outstanding voting stock (otherwise known as an “interested stockholder”);

        an affiliate of an interested stockholder; or

        an associate of an interested stockholder, for three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder.

A “business combination” includes a merger or sale of New IAC’s assets with a market value of 10% or more of its aggregate market value of all of its assets or of all of its outstanding stock. However, the above provisions of Section 203 do not apply if:

        the New IAC Board approves the transaction that made the stockholder an “interested stockholder,” prior to the date of the transaction;

        after the completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, that stockholder owned at least 85% of New IAC’s voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, other than statutorily excluded shares of common stock; or

        on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the initial business combination is approved by the New IAC Board and authorized at a meeting of New IAC’s stockholders, and not by written consent, by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.

161

Table of Contents

Under certain circumstances, Section 203 of the DGCL will make it more difficult for a person who would be an “interested stockholder” to effect various business combinations with New IAC for a three-year period. This provision may encourage companies interested in acquiring New IAC to negotiate in advance with the New IAC Board because the stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if the New IAC Board approves either the business combination or the transaction which results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder. Section 203 of the DGCL also may have the effect of preventing changes in the New IAC Board and may make it more difficult to accomplish transactions which stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

The IAC Charter and the Amended and Restated Charter both provide that the New IAC Board is classified into three classes of directors. As a result, in most circumstances, a person can gain control of the New IAC Board only by successfully engaging in a proxy contest at two or more annual meetings.

Authorized but Unissued Shares

New IAC’s authorized but unissued common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuances without stockholder approval (including a specified future issuance) and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of New IAC by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Exclusive forum for certain lawsuits

The Amended and Restated Charter requires, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that derivative actions brought in New IAC’s name, actions against any current or former directors, officers, employees or stockholders of New IAC for breach of fiduciary duty and other similar actions may be brought only in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware or if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the federal district court of the State of Delaware. The Amended and Restated Charter also requires, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the federal district courts of the United States to be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action under the Securities Act. Although we believe these provisions benefit us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, a court may determine that these provisions are unenforceable, and to the extent they are enforceable, the provisions may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against New IAC’s directors and officers, although the New IAC stockholders will not be deemed to have waived New IAC’s compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Special meeting of stockholders

The Proposed Bylaws provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by a resolution adopted by the New IAC Board.

Advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and director nominations

The Proposed Bylaws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before New IAC’s annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at New IAC’s annual meeting of stockholders, must provide timely notice of their intent in writing. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice will need to be received by the company secretary at New IAC’s principal executive offices not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the opening of business on the 120th day prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders. Pursuant to Rule 14A-8 of the Exchange Act, proposals seeking inclusion in New IAC’s annual proxy statement must comply with the notice periods contained therein. The Proposed Bylaws also specify certain requirements as to the form and content of a stockholders’ meeting. These provisions may preclude New IAC’s stockholders from bringing matters before New IAC’s annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at New IAC’s annual meeting of stockholders.

Action by written consent

Any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual and special meeting of stockholders may be taken only upon the vote of stockholders at an annual or special meeting duly noticed and called in accordance of the DGCL and may not be taken by written consent of the stockholders without a meeting.

Table of Contents

Classified Board of Directors

The New IAC Board will be divided into three classes, Class A, Class B and Class C, with members of each class serving staggered three-year terms. As a result, in most circumstances, a person can gain control of the New IAC Board only by successfully engaging in a proxy contest at two or more annual meetings. The Amended and Restated Charter and the Proposed Bylaws provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the board of directors. Subject to the terms of any preferred stock, any or all of the directors may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of New IAC capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. Any vacancy on the New IAC Board, including a vacancy resulting from an enlargement of the New IAC Board, may be filled only by vote of a majority of New IAC’s directors then in office.

Listing of Securities

IAC Class A common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “INAQ,” and IAC Units and the Public Warrants are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “INAQU” and “INAQW,” respectively. It is currently expected that after the Closing, the New IAC common stock and Public Warrants will be listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbols “AMOD” and “AMODW,” respectively.

SECURITIES ACT RESTRICTIONS ON RESALE OF COMMON STOCK

Rule 144

Pursuant to Rule 144, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock or warrants for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months (or such shorter period as we were required to file reports) preceding the sale.

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock or warrants for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:

        1% of the total number of shares of IAC Class A common stock (or after the Closing, New IAC common stock) then outstanding; or

        the average weekly reported trading volume of the IAC Class A common stock (or after the Closing, New IAC common stock) then during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

Sales by our affiliates under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies

Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:

        the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;

        the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

        the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and materials required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Current Reports on Form 8-K; and

        at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are 6,519,080 shares of IAC common stock outstanding. Of these shares, the 519,080 shares of Class A common stock sold in the IAC IPO are freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, except for any shares purchased by one of IAC’s affiliates within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. All of the remaining 5,100,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 900,000 shares of Class B Common Stock are owned by the Sponsor and the Anchor Investors are restricted securities under Rule 144, in that they were issued in a private transaction not involving a public offering.

The Company anticipates that following the consummation of the Business Combination, New IAC will no longer be a shell company, and so, once the conditions set forth in the exceptions listed above are satisfied, Rule 144 will become available for the resale of the above-noted restricted securities.

COMPARISON OF STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS

Alpha Modus is incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida and, accordingly, the rights of its stockholders are currently governed by the Florida Business Corporation Act. If the Merger is completed, Alpha Modus stockholders will become stockholders of IAC, and their rights will be governed by the DGCL, and the Amended and Restated Charter attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B, and the bylaws of IAC.

The table below summarizes the material differences between the current rights of IAC stockholders under the Existing Charter and bylaws, Alpha Modus stockholders under the Alpha Modus certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the rights of New IAC stockholders, post-Closing, under the Amended and Restated Charter and bylaws of New IAC, each as amended, as applicable, and as in effect immediately following the Business Combination.

While IAC and Alpha Modus believe that the summary tables cover the material differences between the rights of their respective stockholders prior to the Business Combination and the rights of IAC stockholders following the Business Combination, these summary tables may not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should carefully read this entire proxy statement/prospectus and the other documents referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus for a more complete understanding of the differences between being a stockholder of IAC or Alpha Modus before the Business Combination and being a stockholder of IAC after the Business Combination. IAC has attached as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus a copy of the proposed Amended and Restated Charter, and has publicly filed its bylaws with the SEC, which you can find in the list of exhibits to this registration statement, and will send copies of the documents referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus to you upon your request. Alpha Modus will also send copies of its organizational documents referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus to you upon your request.

Any director so chosen will hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors to which the new directorship was added or in which the vacancy occurred and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

 

Any newly created directorship on the New IAC Board that results from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the board are filled exclusively pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the New IAC Board then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.

Any director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of directors of such class will hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that class and any director elected to fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall have the same remaining term as that of their predecessor.

The DGCL permits limiting or eliminating the monetary liability of a director to a corporation or its stockholders, except with regard to breaches of the duty of loyalty, intentional misconduct, unlawful repurchases or dividends, or improper personal benefit.

The IAC Charter provides that an IAC director may not be personally liable to IAC or IAC stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL unless they violated their duty of loyalty to IAC or IAC stockholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized unlawful payments of dividends, unlawful stock purchases or unlawful redemptions, or derived improper personal benefit from their actions as directors.

Fiduciary Duties of Directors

 

Under Delaware law, the standards of conduct for directors have developed through Delaware court case law. Generally, directors must exercise a duty of care and duty of loyalty and good faith to the company and its stockholders. Members of the board of directors or any committee designated by the board of directors are similarly entitled to rely in good faith upon the records of the corporation and upon such information, opinions, reports and statements presented to the corporation by corporate officers, employees, committees of the board of directors or other persons as to matters such member reasonably believes are within such other person’s professional or expert competence, provided that such other person has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the corporation. Such appropriate reliance on records and other information protects directors from liability related to decisions made based on such records and other information.

Stockholders.    The presence, in person or proxy, at a stockholders meetings of the holders of shares of outstanding capital stock representing a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote at such meeting constitutes a quorum.

Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation

 

IAC may amend the IAC Charter as authorized by the IAC Charter and the DGCL. However, IAC may not amend the IAC Charter, without the prior vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of IAC Class B common stock, if such amendment, alteration or repeal would alter or change the powers, preferences or relative, participating, optional or other or special rights of the IAC Class B common stock. Additionally IAC may not make an amendment to the IAC Charter relating to a “business combination” without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-five percent (65%) of all then outstanding shares of IAC common stock.

 

Under Delaware law, an amendment to a charter generally requires the approval of the New IAC Board and a majority of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding shares of voting stock, voting together as a single class. The affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-third percent (66⅔%) of the voting power of New IAC’s outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote in the election of directors, shall be required to amend the Amended and Restated Charter inconsistent with any provision inconsistent with Articles V, VI, VIII, VIII, IX or X of the Amended and Restated Charter.

Amendment to Bylaws

 

The affirmative vote of a majority of the IAC Board is required to amend the IAC bylaws. The IAC bylaws also may be amended by the IAC stockholders; provided, however, that in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of capital stock IAC required by applicable law or the IAC Charter, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power (except with respect to certain indemnification provisions) of all outstanding shares of capital stock of IAC entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, will be required to amend the bylaws, provided further that no bylaws adopted by the stockholders shall invalidate any prior act of the board that would have been valid if such by laws had not been adopted.

 

The New IAC Board will be expressly authorized to make, repeal, alter, amend and rescind any or all of the bylaws of New IAC by an affirmative vote of the majority of the entire board of directors. The bylaws may also be amended, repealed or added to by the New IAC stockholders representing at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66⅔%) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of New IAC entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

Table of Contents

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES

The following table sets forth information regarding (i) the actual beneficial ownership of IAC common stock as of [•], 2024 (the “Ownership Date”), which is prior to the consummation of the Business Combination (pre-Business Combination); (ii) the actual ownership of Alpha Modus stock as of [•], 2024 (pre-Business Combination); and (iii) expected beneficial ownership of New IAC common stock immediately following the Closing (post-Business Combination), assuming that no Public Shares are redeemed, and alternatively that the maximum number of Public Shares are redeemed, by

        each of IAC’s current executive officers and directors;

        each person who is known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the IAC common stock or of Alpha Modus common stock;

        each person who will (or is expected to) become an executive officer or director of New IAC following the Closing; and

        all executive officers and directors of IAC as a group pre-Business Combination and all executive officers and directors of New IAC post-Business Combination.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, ordinary shares subject to options or other rights (as set forth above) held by that person that are currently exercisable, or will become exercisable within 60 days thereafter, are deemed outstanding, while such shares are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing percentage ownership of any other person.

The beneficial ownership of shares of IAC common stock pre-Business Combination is based on 7,000,945 outstanding shares of IAC common stock (including 6,100,945 shares of IAC Class A common stock and 900,000 shares of IAC Class B common stock) issued and outstanding as of the Ownership Date. The ownership percentages listed below do not include any such shares of IAC Class A common stock that may be purchased after the Ownership Date.

The expected beneficial ownership percentages set forth in the table below post-Business Combination assume:

(i)     that each share of IAC Class B common stock is converted into 1 share of IAC Class A common stock at the Closing of the Business Combination (since more than 24,000,000 shares of IAC Class A common stock will not be issued in connection with the Business Combination, and therefore the conversion ratio of IAC Class B common stock to IAC Class A common stock is 1-for-1);

(ii)    no exercise of the 12,000,000 Public Warrants that will remain outstanding post-Business Combination, which will become exercisable at the holder’s option 30 days after Closing at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, provided that New IAC has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of New IAC common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants or Private Placement Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available, which are not expected to occur within 60 days of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus;

(iii)   that each share of Alpha Modus common stock will be exchanged for 1 share of New IAC common stock;

(iv)   that each share of Alpha Modus Series C Preferred Stock will be exchanged for 1 share of New IAC Series C Preferred Stock, and that no shares of New IAC common stock issuable upon conversion of the New IAC Series C Preferred Stock are deemed to be beneficially owned by the holders in the table (even though Mr. Alessi will be deemed to beneficially own all 7,500,000 shares of New IAC Series C Preferred Stock) since the shares of New IAC Series C Preferred Stock are not generally convertible into shares of New IAC common stock until 18 months following Closing of the Business Combination;

(v)    that none of the potential 2,200,000 Earnout Shares are issued, as the applicable milestones relating thereto are not expected to be achieved within 60 days of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus;

(vi)   that the 750,000 Sponsor Earnout Shares remain in escrow, as the applicable milestones relating to release from escrow to the Sponsor are not expected to be achieved within 60 days of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, but that those shares will continue to be beneficially owned by the Sponsor while in escrow, as the Sponsor will retain the right to vote such shares while in escrow;

172

Table of Contents

(vii)  that the 750,000 shares which Sponsor has agreed to forfeit and cancel at Closing will not be owned by the Sponsor after the Business Combination; and

(viii) that 1,392,308 shares of New IAC common stock are issued to Janbella Group, LLC, 125,000 shares of New IAC common stock are issued to Michael Singer, 210,000 shares of New IAC common stock are issued to Cantor and 90,000 shares of New IAC common stock are issued to Odeon, at closing of the Business Combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.

The expected beneficial ownership of shares of New IAC common stock post-Business Combination Assuming No Redemption in the table below has been determined based upon 7,000,945 shares of New IAC common stock outstanding as of the Ownership Date.

The expected beneficial ownership of shares of New IAC common stock post-Business Combination Assuming Maximum Redemptions in the table below has been determined based upon 7,000,945 shares of New IAC common stock outstanding as of the Ownership Date, based on the assumption that Public Stockholders holding the Public Shares do not exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares, and that all the Public Stockholders listed in the table below exercise the redemption rights with respect to their shares. The latter scenario assumes that 519,080 Public Shares are redeemed for an aggregate redemption payment of approximately $[•] million including a pro rata portion of interest accrued on the Trust Account of $[•] million.

MANAGEMENT AFTER THE BUSINESS COMBINATION

Executive Officers and Directors After the Business Combination

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the business and affairs of New IAC will be managed by or under the direction of the New IAC Board. New IAC’s Amended and Restated Charter provides for a staggered, or classified, Board of Directors consisting of three classes of directors, each serving a staggered three-year term and with one class being elected at each year’s annual meeting of stockholders, as follows:

        Class A, which we anticipate will consist of Scott Wattenberg, whose term will expire at the first annual meeting of stockholders to be held after the consummation of the Business Combination;

        Class B, which we anticipate will consist of [•] and Michael Garel, whose terms will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders to be held after the consummation of the Business Combination; and

        Class C, which we anticipate will consist of William Alessi and Gregory Richter, whose terms will expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders to be held after the consummation of the Business Combination.

At each annual meeting of stockholders to be held after the initial classification, directors for that class will be elected for a three-year term at the annual meeting of stockholders in the year in which the term expires. Each director’s term is subject to the election and qualification of his or her successor, or his or her earlier death, disqualification, resignation or removal. Subject to any rights applicable to any then outstanding preferred stock, any vacancies on the New IAC Board may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office. Any increase or decrease in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. This classification of the New IAC Board may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in New IAC’s control or management. New IAC’s directors may be removed for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of New IAC’s voting securities.

The following table sets forth the name, age and position of each of the expected directors and executive officers of New IAC upon consummation of the Business Combination as of [•]:

Executive Officers

William Alessi, the sole member of the Alpha Modus board of directors and its Chief Executive Officer, will be appointed to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of New IAC and as a member of the New IAC Board upon consummation of the Business Combination. He is the founder, and has served as the CEO, of Alpha Modus since August 2014, and as the Managing Director of Hybrid Titan Management, LLC, from September 2000 to November 2021. Mr. Alessi served on the board of directors of Accredited Solutions, Inc. (formerly known as Good Hemp, Inc.) from February 2018 to May 2022, and as its President and Chief Executive Officer until December 2021. We believe that Mr. Alessi’s many years of executive leadership experience, as well as his longstanding personal connection to Alpha Modus and its intellectual property, qualify him to serve on the New IAC Board.

175

Table of Contents

Rodney Sperry will be appointed to serve as the Chief Financial Officer of New IAC upon consummation of the Business Combination. He has been serving as CFO of Accredited Solutions, Inc. since June 2021. He has 14 years of experience in public accounting at leading accounting services and consulting firms in Utah. His industry background includes audits for both private and publicly traded companies across several industries including manufacturing, distribution, mining, energy, and not-for-profit organizations.

He obtained his bachelor’s degree in accounting from Westminster College and his Master of Business Administration from Utah State University.

Chris Chumas will be appointed the Chief Sales Officer of New IAC upon consummation of the Business Combination. He has been the Chief Strategy Officer of Alpha Modus since June 2018. Mr. Chumas served as an IBM sales executive from 2008-2017. He worked with Erwin, Inc. as an Enterprise Solution Strategist from 2017-2022 and served as a director of Accredited Solutions, Inc. from July 2019 to May 2022. Mr. Chumas currently works as an Enterprise Sales Leader at WorkFusion, an intelligent automation solutions company, where he has worked since June 2022.

Non-Employee Directors

Greg Richter is the Chief Executive Officer and a Partner of Medalist Partners, an alternative investment management firm focused on credit opportunities, and will be appointed to the New IAC Board upon consummation of the Business Combination. Prior to co-forming Medalist in May 2018, and its predecessor firm Candlewood Investment Group in 2010, Mr. Richter worked at Credit Suisse as a portfolio manager heading their structured credit effort. Previously, Mr. Richter was the Global Head of Credit Suisse’s Specialty Finance Group and a member of Credit Suisse’s Fixed Income Operating Committee, where he was responsible for the combined Global Asset Finance Capital Markets and the Specialty Finance Banking Groups. The Global Asset Finance Capital Markets division was responsible for loan origination and securitization activity in the U.S., Europe, Australia and Emerging and structured and originated a wide array of securitized products. Prior to this, in addition to running Credit Suisse’s ABS/CDO trading/syndicate effort, Mr. Richter also headed the Asset Backed Securities Home Equity (ABSHE) shelf which bought and packaged mortgage loans. Prior to joining Credit Suisse, Mr. Richter spent 15 years at Prudential Securities in New York where, most recently, he was Managing Director and served as the head of Trading and Syndicate for all structured products. Mr. Richter holds a B.A. in Economics from Colgate University. We believe Mr. Richter’s experience in the financial industry make him qualified to serve on the New IAC Board.

Michael Garel, who will be appointed to the New IAC Board upon consummation of the Business Combination, is the Senior Director of Innovation at Omnicell, a pharmacy technology company, where he has worked since September 2021. From July 2018 through September 2021, Mr. Garel was the Director of Data Strategy at Accruent, a healthcare technology company.

Mr. Garrel received his Bachelor of Science from Carnegie Mellon University, and his Master of Business Administration from the Texas McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas. We believe Mr. Garrel’s technology expertise qualifies him to serve on the New IAC Board.

Mr. Wattenberg obtained his MBA in 2005 from The University of Chicago Booth School of Business. We believe Mr. Wattenberg’s established expertise in financial management make him a valuable addition to the New IAC Board.

Board of Directors Leadership Structure

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, New IAC’s Proposed Bylaws will not require separating the roles of Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. The New IAC Board believes that combining these roles will help to promote unified leadership and direction for both the New IAC Board and management, and is consequently expected to appoint Mr. Alessi as President, Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the New IAC Board upon consummation of the Business Combination.

In connection with the expected appointment of Mr. Alessi as Chair of the New IAC Board, the Board is also expected to create the position of Lead Independent Director upon the consummation of the Business Combination and appoint [Greg Richter] to serve in that role.

Board Composition

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the New IAC Board will be comprised of five directors, of which four directors will be nominated by Alpha Modus, including the chief executive officer of New IAC, and one director will be nominated by IAC, to be approved by Alpha Modus.

Director Independence

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the New IAC Board is expected to determine that [Greg Richter, Michael Garel, Scott Wattenberg, and [•]] will qualify as independent directors on the New IAC Board, as defined under the listing rules of Nasdaq, and the New IAC Board will consist of a majority of “independent directors,” as defined under the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq relating to director independence requirements. In addition, New IAC will be subject to the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq relating to the membership, qualifications and operations of the audit committee, as discussed below.

Role of the New IAC Board in Risk Oversight/Risk Committee

Upon the consummation of Business Combination, one of the key functions of the New IAC Board will be informed oversight of New IAC’s risk management process. The New IAC Board does not anticipate having a standing risk management committee, but rather anticipates administering this oversight function directly through the New IAC Board as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of the New IAC Board that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. For example, the New IAC audit committee will be responsible for overseeing the management of risks associated with the New IAC’s financial reporting, accounting, and auditing matters; the New IAC’s compensation committee will oversee the management of risks associated with our compensation policies and programs.

Board Committees

Effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the New IAC Board will establish an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. The New IAC Board will adopt a charter for each of these committees, which will comply with the applicable requirements of current Nasdaq rules. New IAC intends to comply with future requirements to the extent they will be applicable to New IAC. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, copies of the charters for each committee will be available on the investor relations portion of New IAC’s website.

Audit Committee

New IAC’s audit committee will consist of [Greg Richter, Scott Wattenberg, and [•]]. The New IAC Board has determined that each of the members of the audit committee will satisfy the independence requirements of Nasdaq and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Each member of the audit committee can read and understand fundamental financial statements in accordance with Nasdaq audit committee requirements. In arriving at this determination, the New IAC Board examined each audit committee member’s scope of experience and the nature of their prior and/or current employment.

Scott Wattenberg will serve as the Chair of the audit committee. The New IAC Board determined that Mr. Wattenberg qualifies as an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the SEC and meets the financial sophistication requirements of Nasdaq listing rules. In making this determination,

177

the New IAC Board considered Mr. Wattenberg’s formal education and previous experience in financial roles and as Chief Financial Officer for several companies. Both New IAC’s independent registered public accounting firm and management periodically will meet privately with New IAC’s audit committee.

The functions of the audit committee will include, among other things:

        approving (or, as permitted, pre-approving) all audit and non-audit services to be performed by New IAC’s independent auditors.

The composition and function of the audit committee will comply with all applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, SEC rules and regulations and Nasdaq listing rules. New IAC will to comply with future requirements to the extent they become applicable to New IAC.

Compensation Committee

New IAC’s compensation committee will consist of [Greg Richter, Michael Garel, and Scott Wattenberg]. [Greg Richter] will serve as the Chair of the compensation committee. The New IAC’s Board has determined that each of the members of the compensation committee will be a non-employee director, as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act and will satisfy the independence requirements of Nasdaq.

The functions of the compensation committee will include, among other things:

        approving the retention of compensation consultants and outside service providers and advisors;

        reviewing and approving, or recommending that the New IAC Board approve, the compensation of New IAC’s executive officers, including annual base salary, annual incentive bonuses, specific performance goals relevant to their compensation, equity compensation, employment;

Table of Contents

        preparing the compensation committee report required by the SEC to be included in New IAC’s annual proxy statement; and

        periodically reviewing New IAC’s practices and policies of employee compensation as they relate to risk management and risk-taking incentives.

The composition and function of its compensation committee will comply with all applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, SEC rules and regulations and Nasdaq listing rules. New IAC will comply with future requirements to the extent they become applicable to New IAC.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

New IAC’s nominating and corporate governance committee will consist of [Greg Richter, Michael Garel, and [•]]. [•] will serve as the Chair of the nominating and corporate governance committee. The New IAC Board has determined that each of the members of New IAC’s nominating and corporate governance committee will satisfy the independence requirements of Nasdaq.

The functions of the nominating and corporate governance committee include, among other things:

        identifying, evaluating, and recommending individuals qualified to become members of the New IAC Board and its committees;

        evaluating the performance of the New IAC Board and of individual directors;

        reviewing the Company’s environmental and social responsibility policies and practices;

        developing and recommending corporate governance guidelines to the New IAC Board; and

        overseeing an annual evaluation of the New IAC Board’s and management.

The composition and function of the nominating and corporate governance committee will comply with all applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, SEC rules and regulations and Nasdaq listing rules. New IAC will comply with future requirements to the extent they become applicable to New IAC.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of the intended members of New IAC’s compensation committee has ever been an executive officer or employee of New IAC. None of New IAC’s executive officers currently serve, or has served during the last completed fiscal year, on the compensation committee or board of directors of any other entity that has one or more executive officers that will serve as a member of the New IAC Board or compensation committee.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Amended and Restated Charter, which will be effective upon consummation of the Business Combination, eliminates New IAC’s directors’ liability for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The DGCL provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability:

        for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit;

        for any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

        for any unlawful payment of dividends or redemption of shares; or

        for any breach of a director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders.

If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of New IAC’s directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.

179

Table of Contents

The Amended and Restated Charter requires New IAC to indemnify and advance expenses to, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, its directors, officers and agents. New IAC plans to maintain a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy pursuant to which New IAC’s directors and officers are insured against liability for actions taken in their capacities as directors and officers. Finally, the Amended and Restated Charter prohibits any retroactive changes to the rights or protections or increasing the liability of any director in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any act or omission to act giving rise to liability or indemnification.

In addition, New IAC will enter into separate indemnification agreements with New IAC’s directors and officers. These agreements, among other things, require New IAC to indemnify its directors and officers for certain expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by a director or officer in any action or proceeding arising out of their services as one of New IAC’s directors or officers or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at New IAC’s request.

We believe these provisions in the Amended and Restated Charter are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers for New IAC following the completion of the Business Combination.

Code of Conduct and Ethics for Employees, Executive Officers and Directors

The New IAC Board will adopt a Code of Conduct and Ethics (the “Code of Ethics”) applicable to all of New IAC’s employees, executive officers and directors. The Code of Ethics will be available on New IAC’s website at [•]. Information contained on or accessible through New IAC’s website is not a part of this proxy statement/prospectus, and the inclusion of New IAC’s website address in this proxy statement/prospectus is an inactive textual reference only. The nominating and corporate governance committee of the New IAC Board will be responsible for overseeing the Code of Ethics and must approve any waivers of the Code of Ethics for employees, executive officers and directors. New IAC expects that any amendments to the Code of Ethics, or any waivers of its requirements, will be disclosed on its website.

EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION OF ALPHA MODUS

Throughout this section, unless otherwise noted, “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terms refer to Alpha Modus, Corp. and its subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, and to New IAC and its subsidiaries after the Business Combination. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements that are based on New IAC’s current plans, considerations, expectations and determinations regarding future compensation programs. Actual compensation programs that it adopts following the completion of the Business Combination may differ materially from the currently planned programs summarized in this discussion. All share counts in this section are shown on a pre-Business Combination basis.

This section describes the material components of the executive compensation program for certain of Alpha Modus’ executive officers (the “Target NEOs”) and directors. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements that are based on Alpha Modus’ current plans, considerations, expectations and determinations regarding future compensation programs. Actual compensation programs that Alpha Modus adopts following the completion of the Business Combination may differ materially from the existing and currently planned programs summarized or referred to in this discussion.

Post-Combination Company Executive Compensation

In connection with the Business Combination, Alpha Modus intends to develop a compensation program that is designed to align executives’ compensation with Alpha Modus’ business objectives and the creation of stockholder value, while helping Alpha Modus to continue to attract, motivate and retain individuals who contribute to the long-term success of the company. Alpha Modus anticipates that compensation for its executive officers will have three primary components: base salary, an annual cash incentive bonus opportunity, and long-term equity-based incentive compensation.

Decisions on the design and implementation of the executive compensation program will be made by the compensation committee, as established at the closing of the Business Combination. The executive compensation program actually adopted will depend on the judgment of the members of the compensation committee.

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End

No Alpha Modus executive officer named above had any unexercised options, stock that had not vested or equity incentive plan awards outstanding as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Equity Incentive Plans

Long-Term Incentive Plans.    Alpha Modus does not provide its officers or employees with pension, stock appreciation rights, long-term incentive or other plans, nor does it provide non-qualified deferred compensation to its officers or employees, and therefore, the Summary Compensation Table above does not include columns for nonequity incentive plan compensation and nonqualified deferred compensation earnings since there were none.

Employee Pension, Profit Sharing or other Retirement Plans.    Alpha Modus does not have a defined benefit, pension plan, profit sharing or other retirement plan, although it may adopt one or more of such plans in the future.

Executive Employment Agreements

We intend to enter into an employment agreement with William Alessi to serve as our Chief Executive Officer. The agreement will be effective on the closing of the Business Combination and does not have a specified term.

Defined Contribution Plans

As part of its overall compensation program, Alpha Modus provides all full-time employees, including each of the Target NEOs, with the opportunity to participate in a defined contribution 401(k) plan. The plan is intended to qualify under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code so that employee contributions and income earned on such contributions are not taxable to employees until withdrawn. Employees may elect to defer a percentage of their eligible compensation (not to exceed the statutorily prescribed annual limit) in the form of elective deferral contributions to the plan. The 401(k) plan also has a “catch-up contribution” feature for employees aged 50 or older (including those who qualify as “highly compensated” employees) who can defer amounts over the statutory limit that applies to all other employees. The Company does not currently make any matching or other contributions to participants’ accounts under the 401(k) plan.

Director Compensation

The current director of Alpha Modus (William Alessi) will continue to serve on the Board following the closing of the Business Combination. In connection with the closing, we expect to grant each of non-employee directors an option to purchase up to [•] shares of our common stock with an exercise price equal to the per-share value of our common stock on the grant date. Each option will vest monthly installments over a two-year period, subject to the director’s continued service on the Board. In addition, each of our non-employee directors will receive a cash annual retainer of $[•] for their service on the Board, payable in quarterly installments. New IAC intends to continue evaluating the compensation to be provided to its non-employee directors following the closing.

Mr. Alessi, who serves as Alpha Modus’ Chief Executive Officer and whose compensation for fiscal 2022 and 2023 is reported above, did not receive any additional compensation for his service on the Alpha Modus Board during fiscal 2022 or 2023.

Stockholder Support Agreement

Additionally, such stockholders agreed not to (prior to any termination of the Stockholder Support Agreement) (a) transfer any of their shares of Alpha Modus common stock or Alpha Modus preferred stock (or enter into any contract or option with respect thereto), or (b) enter into any voting arrangement that is inconsistent with the Stockholder Support Agreement. Collectively, as of October 13, 2023, the key Alpha Modus stockholder held sufficient shares of Alpha Modus stock to deliver the requisite votes needed to approve the merger and adopt the Business Combination Agreement.

Indemnification Agreements

New IAC intends to enter into separate indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in the Amended and Restated Charter and the Proposed Bylaws. These agreements, among other things, will require New IAC to indemnify New IAC’s directors and executive officers for certain expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by a director or executive officer in generally any action or proceeding arising out of their services as one of New IAC’s directors or executive officers or as a director or executive officer of any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at New IAC’s request. New IAC believes that these charter provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in the Amended and Restated Charter and the Proposed Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit the New IAC and its stockholders. A stockholder’s investment may decline in value to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

Related Person Transaction Policy Following the Business Combination

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the New IAC board will adopt a written Related Person Transactions Policy that sets forth New IAC’s policies and procedures regarding the identification, review, consideration and oversight of “related person transactions.” For purposes of New IAC’s policy only, a “related person transaction”

is a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which (i) New IAC (including any of its subsidiaries, if any) was, is or will be a participant, (ii) the aggregate amount involved exceeds or may be expected to exceed $120,000, and (iii) a related person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Subject to certain limitations, transactions involving compensation for services provided to New IAC as an employee or director will not be considered related person transactions under this policy. A related person is any executive officer, director, nominee to become a director or a holder of more than 5% of any class of New IAC’s voting securities (including New IAC common stock), including any of their immediate family members and affiliates, including entities owned or controlled by such persons. A related person is also someone who has a position or relationship with any firm, corporation or other entity that engages in the transaction if (i) such person is employed or is a general partner or principal or in a similar position with significant decision making influence, or (ii) the direct or indirect ownership by such person and all other foregoing persons, in the aggregate, is 10% or greater in another person which is party to the transaction.

Under the policy, any related person, or any director, officer or employee of New IAC who knows of the transaction, must report the information regarding the proposed related person transaction to New IAC’s chief financial officer and chairperson of the audit committee for review. To identify related person transactions in advance, New IAC will rely on information supplied by New IAC’s executive officers, directors and certain significant stockholders. In considering related person transactions, New IAC’s audit committee will take into account the relevant available facts and circumstances, which may include, but are not limited to:

        the nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction;

        the impact on a director’s independence in the event the related person is a director, immediate family member of a director or an entity with which a director is affiliated;

        the terms of the transaction;

        the availability of other sources for comparable services or products; and

        the terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties.

All related party transactions may be consummated or continued only if approved or ratified by New IAC’s audit committee. No director or member of New IAC’s audit committee may participate in the review, approval or ratification of a transaction with respect to which he or she is a related party, except that such member may be counted for purposes of a quorum and shall provide such information with respect to the transaction as may be reasonably requested by other members of New IAC’s audit committee.

All of the transactions described above were entered into prior to the adoption of such policy.

APPRAISAL RIGHTS

IAC Stockholder Appraisal Rights

IAC’s stockholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination under Delaware law.

HOUSEHOLDING INFORMATION

In accordance with the rules of the SEC, IAC may send a single copy of this proxy statement/prospectus to any household at which two or more stockholders reside if IAC believes the stockholders are members of the same family unless such stockholders provide IAC with contrary instructions. This process, known as “householding,” reduces the volume of duplicate information received at any one household and helps to reduce IAC’s expenses. However, if stockholders prefer to receive multiple sets of this proxy statement/prospectus at the same address, such stockholders should follow the instructions described below. Similarly, if an address is shared with another stockholder and together both of the stockholders would like to receive only a single set of this proxy statement/prospectus, the stockholders should follow these instructions:

If the shares of IAC Class A common stock are registered in the name of the stockholder, the stockholder should contact IAC’s offices at c/o Insight Acquisition Corp., 333 East 91st Street, New York, New York 10128, (609) 751-3193. If a bank, broker or other nominee holds the shares, the stockholder should contact the bank, broker or other nominee directly.

INSIGHT ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2024

Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations

Insight Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on April 20, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

The Company has one subsidiary, IAC Merger Sub Inc., a Florida corporation (“Merger Sub”), a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated on October 10, 2023. As of March 31, 2024 the subsidiary had no activity.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from April 20, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) described below and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, the search for a business combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

The Company’s sponsor is Insight Acquisition Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on September 1, 2021. On September 7, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 24,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), generating gross proceeds of $240.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $17.5 million, of which approximately $12.0 million and approximately $668,000 were for deferred underwriting commissions (see Note 5) and offering costs allocated to derivate warrant liabilities, respectively.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 7,500,000 and 1,200,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”), to the Sponsor and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”) and Odeon Capital Group, LLC (“Odeon”), respectively, for an aggregate of 8,700,000 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating proceeds of $8.7 million (see Note 4).

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $241.2 million ($10.05 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and of the Private Placement Warrants in the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in U.S. “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes and excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

MARCH 31, 2024

Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations (cont.)

The Company will provide the holders of the Company’s outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”) 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 stockholders meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, in its sole discretion. The Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then held in the Trust Account (initially at $10.05 per Public Share plus pro rata interest earned in Trust Account). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 5). These Public Shares were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the holders of 65% of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Initial Stockholders (as defined below) agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 3) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering, and the Anchor Investors (as defined below in Note 3) agreed to vote any Founder Shares held by them in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the Initial Stockholders agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination. The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation provides that a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder 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”)), is restricted from redeeming an aggregate of 20% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation provides that a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder 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”)), is restricted from redeeming an aggregate of 20% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and any other holders of the Founder Shares immediately prior to the Initial Public Offering (the “Initial Stockholders”) agreed not to propose an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

The Anchor Investors are not entitled to (i) redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares held by them in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares held by them in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Certificate of Incorporation in a manner that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (iii) rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period).

Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations (cont.)

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by June 7, 2024, which may be extended only by the vote of our stockholders to approve an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Combination Period”) the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject, in each case, to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

On March 6, 2023 the Company held a special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of stockholders. At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders were asked to vote on the following items: (i) a proposal to amend the Charter to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination for an additional one month, from March 7, 2023 to April 7, 2023 and thereafter, at the discretion of the board of directors of the Company and without a vote of the stockholders, up to five (5) times for an additional one month each time, for a total of up to five additional months to September 7, 2023 (the “First Charter Amendment Proposal”), (ii) a proposal to amend the Company’s Charter to eliminate from the Charter the limitation that the Company may not redeem public shares to the extent that such redemption would result in the Company having net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) of less than $5,000,001 (the “Redemption Limitation”) in order to allow the Company to redeem public shares irrespective of whether such redemption would exceed the Redemption Limitation (the “Second Charter Amendment Proposal”), (iii) a proposal to amend the Charter to provide for the right of a holder of Class B common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock”) to convert such shares into shares of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) on a one-for-one basis prior to the closing of a business combination at the election of the holder (the “Third Charter Amendment Proposal” and together with the First Charter Amendment Proposal and the Second Charter Amendment Proposal, the “Charter Amendment Proposals”) and (iv) a proposal to direct the chairman of the Special Meeting to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Special Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve each of the Charter Amendment Proposals. In connection with the Extension, the holders of 21,151,393 Class A common shares, representing approximately 88.1% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Class A common shares, elected to redeem their shares. Following such redemptions, approximately $28,744,831 remained in the trust account and 2,848,607 shares of Class A Common Stock remained issued and outstanding.

On March 28, 2023, the board of directors of the Company approved a one-month extension of the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination to May 7, 2023 and authorized management to deposit $80,000 into the Trust Account for such extension. Accordingly, management deposited $80,000 into the Trust Account and the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination has been extended to May 7, 2023. On May 2, 2023, the board of directors of the Company approved an additional one-month extension to June 7, 2023 and deposited an additional $80,000 into the Trust Account.

On March 29, 2023, the Company entered into a forward share purchase agreement (the “Forward Share Purchase Agreement”) with Avila, Meteora Special Opportunity Fund I, LP, Meteora Capital Partners, LP and Meteora Select Trading Opportunities Master, LP (collectively, “Seller”) for an OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transaction (the “Forward Purchase Transaction”). Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, Seller intends but is not obligated to purchase the Company’s Class A Common Stock from holders (other than the Company or its affiliates) who have elected to redeem such shares in connection with the Proposed Transactions. Purchases by Seller will be made through brokers in the open market after the redemption deadline in connection with the Proposed Transactions at a price no higher than the redemption price to be paid by the Company in connection with the Proposed Transactions (the “Initial Price”). The Shares purchased by the Seller, other than the Share Consideration Shares are referred to

On April 3, 2023, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (“Avila BCA”) with Avila Energy Corporation, an Alberta corporation (“Avila”), pursuant to which the Company will acquire Avila for consideration of shares of the Company following its redomicile into the Province of Alberta. The business combination agreement and related executed agreements included supporting agreements and a forward share purchase agreement are more fully described and filed with the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 4, 2023.

On April 18, 2022, the Company received a notification from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) that it was in violation of NYSE requirements as it had failed to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”) and that if the Form 10-K is not filed with the SEC by 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time on April 21, 2023, the NYSE would post the Company to the NYSE’s late filers list on the Profile, Data and News pages with respect to each of the Company’s securities (the “LF Designation”). Effective April 19, 2022, the Company filed the Form 10-K and that same day the Company received additional correspondence from the NYSE acknowledging that the filing had been made and cancelling its prior correspondence and stating that the LF Designation would not be posted on the Profile, Data and News pages with respect to each of the Company’s securities.

On April 27, 2023, the Company issued a press release reporting that the Company will transfer the listing of its securities to The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”). In the press release, the Company stated that its securities will commence trading on Nasdaq upon the market open on Tuesday, May 2, 2023. The Company’s Class A common stock will continue trading under the ticker symbol “INAQ” on the Nasdaq Global Market and the Company’s units and warrants will continue trading under the ticker symbols “INAQU” and “INAQW,” respectively, on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

On May 24, 2023, the Company received a notification from the Nasdaq that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250I(1) as it had failed to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-Q”). Under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company now has 60 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance and if the plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the Form 10-Q’s due date, or until November 20, 2023, to regain compliance. The Company subsequently filed the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 on June 2, 2023, regaining compliance.

On August 10, 2023, the Company and Avila entered into a Letter Agreement providing for the mutual termination of the Avila BCA. The Letter Agreement provides for the mutual release of claims against the other party and also provides that Avila will pay to the Company $300,000 in partial reimbursement of expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the Avila BCA (the “Avila Payment”). The Avila Payment is due and payable as follows: 1) up to $300,000 immediately upon Avila’s receipt of net proceeds from any financing, public or private, in excess of U.S. $3,000,000, -or- (2) (i) $50,000 by December 1, 2023, (ii) $100,000 by February 1, 2024 and (iii) $150,000 by April 1, 2024.

On August 17, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $480,000 (the “Note”) to the Sponsor, in exchange for the Sponsor advancing $480,000 to the Company to fund six one-month extensions of the amount of time the Company has to complete its initial business combination, from March 7, 2023 to September 7, 2023. The Note does not bear interest and matures upon the closing of an initial business combination by the Company.

delivery of the Rescission Agreement, the Note, in its entirety, is hereby irrevocably rescinded, abrogated, cancelled and rendered null and void ab initio and of no force or effect whatsoever, and the positions among the Company and the Sponsor shall be restored to what would have existed had they not entered into the Note.

As approved by its stockholders at the annual meeting of stockholders held on September 6, 2023 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Company filed a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) with the Delaware Secretary of State on September 6, 2023 to modify the terms and extend Combination Period by which the Company has to consummate an initial business combination (the “Business Combination”) from September 7, 2023 to June 7, 2024, provided that the Company deposits the lesser of $20,000 and $0.02 for each outstanding share of common stock sold in the Company’s initial public offering into the Trust Account, as defined in the Charter for each one-month extension. In connection with the stockholder’s vote at the Annual Meeting, 1,847,662 shares were tendered for redemption in exchange for a total redemption payment of $19,208,848.

On September 7, 2023, October 7, 2023, November 7, 2023, December 15, 2023, January 5, 2024, February 2, 2024, February 7, 2024, March 20, 2024 and May 6, 2024 the Company deposited $20,000 into the Trust Account on each date, to extend the Business Combination Period from September 7, 2023 to June 7, 2024.

Effective as of October 13, 2023, the Company, IAC Merger Sub Inc., a Florida corporation (“Merger Sub”) and Alpha Modus, Corp., a Florida corporation (“Alpha Modus”), entered into a business combination agreement and plan of merger (the “AM BCA”) pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Alpha Modus with Alpha Modus as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has unanimously approved and declared advisable the AM BCA, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby (the “Proposed Transactions”). A copy of the AM BCA is filed as Exhibit 2.1 in the Current Report on Form 8-K, dated October 17, 2023. In connection with entering into the AM BCA, in October 2023, the Company formed IAC Merger Sub Inc., a Florida corporation.

On December 28, 2023, the Company filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) in connection with the proposed business combination with Alpha Modus, Corp. based in Metro-Charlotte, NC (the “Business Combination”).

The Initial Stockholders agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Stockholders acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission (see Note 5) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.05. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (except for 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 entered into a letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement (a “Target”), reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.05 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.05 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or Target that executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors

Risks and Uncertainties

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 is not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. Any share redemption or other share repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise will depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury.

The Company held a meeting on March 6, 2023 where the stockholders voted to approve a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the Combination Period, from March 7, 2023, monthly for up to six additional months at the election of the Company, ultimately until as late as September 7, 2023 (the “Extension”, and such extension date the “Extended Date”). In connection with the March 6, 2023 meeting, 21,151,393 shares of the Company’s common stock were redeemed with a total redemption payment of $215,621,387.

The Company held its annual meeting on September 6, 2023 where the stockholders voted to approve a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the Combination Period, from September 7, 2023 to June 7, 2024, provided that the Company deposits the lesser of $20,000 and $0.02 for each outstanding share of common stock sold in the Company’s initial public offering into the Trust Account, as defined in the Charter for each one-month extension. In connection with the stockholder’s vote at the Annual Meeting, 1,847,662 shares were tendered for redemption in exchange for a total redemption payment of $19,208,848.

As a result, the Company booked a liability of $2,348,302 for the excise tax based on 1% of shares redeemed during the reporting period. For interim periods, an entity is not required to estimate future stock repurchases and stock issuances to measure its excise tax obligation. Rather, an entity can generally record the obligation on an as-incurred basis. In other words, the excise tax obligation recognized at the end of a quarterly financial reporting period is calculated as if the end of the quarterly period was the end of the annual period for which the excise tax obligation is payable.

Pursuant to the AM BCA, (i) in the event the business combination contemplated by the AM BCA occurs, then the surviving company shall pay the Company’s excise tax liability; (ii) if Alpha Modus does not obtain its shareholders approval of the business combination, or Alpha Modus breaches the AM BCA, then Alpha Modus will be responsible to pay the Company’s excise tax liability; and (iii) if an Alpha Modus material adverse effect occurs and the business combination does not close, or if Alpha Modus fails to close the business combination for any reason other than a material breach by the Company, then Alpha Modus will be responsible to pay the Company’s excise tax liability. In all other circumstances the Company will be responsible to pay the Company’s excise tax liability, except if the Company liquidates prior to December 31, 2023, in which event there will be no excise tax liability. The Company will not use any of the funds held in the Trust Account and any additional amounts deposited into the Trust Account, as well as any interest earned thereon, to pay for the Company’s excise tax liability. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holders, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax by the Company have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.

In October 2023, the Israel-Hamas war commenced. As a result of the war, instability in the Middle East and various other regions of the world may occur and effect the world economy. Various nations, including the United States, as a reaction to the Israel-Hamas war have begun taking actions that may further affect the world economy. Such effects on the world economy are not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

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

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $53,377 in its operating bank account available to pay operating expenses and working capital deficit of $4,655,624.

Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations (cont.)

The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to cover for certain offering costs on behalf of the Company in exchange for issuance of the Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4), and the loan from the Sponsor of approximately $163,000 under the Note (as defined in Note 4). The Company repaid $157,000 of Note balance on September 7, 2021 and repaid the remaining balance of approximately $6,000 in full on September 13, 2021, at which time the Note was terminated. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (see Note 4). As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.

On August 17, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $480,000 (the “Note”) to the Sponsor, in exchange for the Sponsor advancing $480,000 to the Company to fund six one-month extensions of the amount of time the Company has to complete its initial business combination, from March 7, 2023 to September 7, 2023. The Note does not bear interest and matures upon the closing of an initial business combination by the Company. In addition, at the option of the holder, the Note may be paid by the Company through the issuance of private placement warrants of the Company at a price of $1.00 per unit. The loan will be forgiven, except to the extent of any funds held outside of the Company’s trust account, by the Sponsor, if Company is unable to consummate an initial business combination. On November 6, 2023, the Company and the Sponsor entered into a written agreement (the “Rescission Agreement”) to rescind and nullify that certain promissory note in the principal amount of $480,000 and executed on August 17, 2023 (the “Note”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay the Sponsor the principal amount of $480,000 subject to the terms and conditions of the Note. Upon execution and delivery of the Rescission Agreement, the Note, in its entirety, is hereby irrevocably rescinded, abrogated, cancelled and rendered null and void ab initio and of no force or effect whatsoever, and the positions among the Company and the Sponsor shall be restored to what would have existed had they not entered into the Note.

On August 30, 2023, the Company, Sponsor and Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (“Polar”), an investor, entered into an agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) in which Polar has agreed to fund the Sponsor up to $1,000,000, pursuant to written draw down requests (a “Capital Call”), and the Sponsor will in turn loan such funds to the Company, to cover the Company’s working capital expenses (each a “Sponsor Loan”). For the three months ended March 31, 2024, Polar funded Sponsor additional $200,000 under the Subscription Agreement and the Sponsor loaned the Company $200,000 from Polar. For the year ended December 31, 2023, Polar funded Sponsor $600,000 under the Subscription Agreement and the Sponsor loaned the Company $600,000 from Polar. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 there were $800,000 and $600,000 outstanding due to Polar, respectively.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until June 7, 2024 (extended monthly through extension payments), to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. The Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, suspending the pursuit of a Business Combination. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. Management has determined that the

liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to complete a Business Combination by close of business on June 7, 2024. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after June 7, 2024.

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, certain disclosures included in the annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these financial statements as they are not required for interim financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2024 or any future period.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on May 14, 2024.

Principles of Consolidation

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

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 had no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Restricted Cash

The Company has $0 and $314,482 of restricted cash to be used to pay for taxes as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Use of Estimates

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

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

exercise significant judgment. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities. 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 consolidated 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 significantly from those estimates.

Investments Held in the Trust Account

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. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the unaudited condensed consolidated 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 income from investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” equals or approximates the carrying amounts represented in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, except for the derivative liabilities (see Note 9).

Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

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

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Derivative Liabilities

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants and the forward purchase agreement, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as

F-15

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

The warrants issued in the Initial Public Offering (the “Public Warrants”) and the Private Placement Warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the carrying value of the instruments to fair value at each reporting period for so long as they are outstanding. The initial fair value of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Public Offering and the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants have been estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model and subsequently, the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants have been estimated using the public market quoted prices at each measurement date starting at September 30, 2022. The fair value of Public Warrants has subsequently been measured based on the listed market price of such warrants. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,600,000 additional Units solely to cover over-allotments, if any. The Company estimated the fair value of the over-allotment option using a Black-Scholes model. On October 16, 2021, the over-allotment option expired unexercised.

The Forward Purchase Agreement entered into on March 29, 2023 included elements that require liability classification under ASC 480. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the Forward Purchase Agreement as a liability at fair value and adjusts the carrying value of the instruments to fair value at each reporting period for so long as it is outstanding. The initial fair value of the Forward Purchase Agreement liability issued was estimated using a Put Option Pricing model, which analyzed and incorporated into the model the put price, the risk-free rate, the variable term, the settlement features, the likelihood of completing a business combination and the early termination provisions. The model estimates the underlying economic factors that influenced which of these events would occur, when they were likely to occur, and the specific terms that would be in effect at the time (i.e., stock price, exercise price, etc.). Probabilities were assigned to each variable such as the timing and pricing of events over the term of the instruments based on management projections. The fair value was adjusted for the market implied likelihood of completing a business combination.

Capital Call Loan

The Company analyzed the Subscription Agreement under ASC 470 “Debt”, ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”, and concluded that, (i) the Subscription Shares (as defined in Note 5) issuable under the Subscription Agreement are not required to be accounted for as a liability under ASC 480 or ASC 815, (ii) bifurcation of a single derivative that comprises all of the fair value of the Subscription Share feature(s) (i.e., derivative instrument(s)) is not necessary under ASC 815-15-25-7 through 25-10 and (iii) under ASC 470-20-25-2 the Subscription Shares are deemed to be representative of a freestanding financial instrument issued in a bundled transaction with the Capital Call Loan. The Subscription Shares to be issued as part of the bundled transaction are classified and accounted for as equity. As a result, proceeds from the sale of a debt instrument with stock purchase Subscription Shares shall be allocated to the two elements based on the relative fair values of the debt instrument without the Subscription Shares and of the Subscription Shares themselves at time of issuance. The portion of the proceeds so allocated to the Subscription Shares shall be accounted for as paid-in capital. The remainder of the proceeds shall be allocated to the debt instrument portion of the transaction. This results in a debt discount, which shall be accounted for as interest and amortized as interest expense over the life of the loan. As of March 31, 2024, the Company received $800,000 under the Subscription Agreement and recorded the amounts as a due to investors, net of debt discount of $229,834, on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2023, the Company received $600,000 under the Subscription Agreement and recorded the amounts as a due to investors, net of debt discount of $279,245, on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly 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 associated with derivative warrant liabilities were expensed as incurred and presented as non-operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Offering costs associated with issuance of the Class A common stock were charged against the carrying value of the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company classifies deferred underwriting commissions as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Deferred tax assets were offset by a full valuation allowance as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Deferred tax liabilities were $10,357 and $9,935 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Tax expense of approximately $21,000 and $416,000 was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. 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 has been subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as liability instruments and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, 1,000,945 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the security. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount, which resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share

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

The calculation of diluted net (loss) income does not consider the effect of the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering and the private placement warrants to purchase an aggregate of 20,700,000 shares of Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted (loss) income per share, because their exercise is contingent upon future events and their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted net (loss) income per share is the same as basic net (loss) income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

The following tables present a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net (loss) income per share for each class of common stock:

Note 3 — Initial Public Offering

On September 7, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 24,000,000 Units, generating gross proceeds of $240.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $17.5 million, of which approximately $12.0 million and approximately $668,000 were for deferred underwriting commissions and offering costs allocated to derivative warrant liabilities, respectively. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 6).

Of the 24,000,000 Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, 23,760,000 Units were purchased by certain qualified institutional buyers or institutional accredited investors which are not affiliated with any member of the Company management (the “Anchor Investors”). In connection with the sale of Units to the Anchor Investors, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 1,350,000 of the Company’s Class B common stock held by the Sponsor (the “Founder Shares”) to the Anchor Investors at a price of approximately $0.004 per Founder Share. The Company determined that the excess of the fair value of the Founder Shares acquired by the Anchor Investors over the price paid by such Anchor Investors should be recognized as an offering cost in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A. The Company estimated the fair value of the Founder Shares sold to the Anchor Investors to be $2.37 per share or an aggregate of approximately $3.2 million, based on third-party transactions in the Sponsor’s equity interests. Accordingly, the offering cost is 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 the Public Warrants are expensed as incurred. Offering costs allocated to the Public Shares are charged against the carrying value of Class A common stock upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 3,600,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. On October 16, 2021, the over-allotment option expired unexercised.

Founder Shares

On May 5, 2021, the Sponsor paid for certain offering costs totaling $25,000 on behalf of the Company in exchange for issuance of 6,181,250 shares of the Company’s Founder Shares, par value $0.0001 per share. On July 29, 2021, the Company effected a 1:1.1162791 stock split of Class B common stock, resulting in an aggregate of 6,900,000 shares of Class B common stock outstanding. In connection with the sale of Units to the Anchor Investors, the Sponsor transferred 1,350,000 Founder Shares to the Anchor Investors, as described in Note 3, above. The Sponsor agreed to forfeit up to 900,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the Founder Shares will represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On October 16, 2021, the over-allotment option expired unexercised. As such, 900,000 shares of Class B common stock were forfeited.

On March 22, 2023, 5,100,000 shares of Class B common stock were exchanged for an equal number of shares of Class A common stock. Such shares are not entitled to redemption rights.

The Initial Stockholders agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (i) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) the date following the completion of the initial Business Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the stockholders having the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lockup.

Contributed Capital

As of March 31, 2023, the Sponsor contributed $100,000 to the Company for no consideration.

Private Placement Warrants

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 7,500,000 and 1,200,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor and Cantor and Odeon, respectively, for an aggregate of 8,700,000 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating proceeds of $8.7 million.

Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor and the underwriters was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. Except as set forth below, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable for cash and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor, the underwriters or their permitted transferees.

The Sponsor, the underwriters and the Company’s officers and directors agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.

Related Party Loans

On April 30, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). This loan was non-interest bearing and payable upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company borrowed approximately $163,000 under the Note. On September 7, 2021, the Company repaid $157,000 of Note balance and repaid the remaining balance of approximately $6,000 in full on September 13, 2021. Subsequent to the repayment, the facility was no longer available to the Company.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Services Agreement

On September 1, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to or incurred by members of the Company’s management team until the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation.

If the underwriters’ over-allotment option was fully exercised, $0.70 per over-allotment unit, or up to an additional approximately $2.5 million, or approximately $14.5 million in the aggregate, would have been deposited in the Trust Account as deferred underwriting commissions.

Note 7 — Stockholders’ Deficit (cont.)

Common stockholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. Holders of Class B common stock and holders of Class A common stock will vote together as a single class, except as required by applicable law or stock exchange rule.

The Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination, the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the total number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of shares of Class A common stock by Public Stockholders), including the total number of shares of Class A common stock issued, or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding any shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities or rights exercisable for or convertible into shares of Class A common stock issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.

Note 8 — Warrants

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has 12,000,000 and 8,700,000 Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants, respectively, outstanding.

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination; provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Company agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed. If a registration statement covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company’s shares of Class A common stock are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elect, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, it will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

The warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per

share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Initial Stockholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Initial Stockholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below under “Redemption of warrants” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, except as set forth below, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor, the underwriters or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the Sponsor, the underwriters or their 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.

Redemption of warrants.    Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants for cash (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

        in whole and not in part;

        at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

        upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

        if, and only if, the closing price of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period. The estimated fair value of the Public Warrants transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 1 fair value measurement on October 1, 2021 because the Public Warrants were separately listed and traded in an active market. The estimated fair value of the Public Warrants transferred from a Level 1 measurement to a Level 2 fair value measurement in September 2022, due to the limited trading activity of the Public Warrants at September 30, 2022 through December 31, 2023. The Private Placement Warrants were transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 2 measurement in September 2022, as the Public and Private Placement Warrants are viewed as economically equivalent. There were no transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 during the period ended March 31, 2024.

Level 1 assets include investments in U.S. Treasury securities. The Company uses inputs such as actual trade data, benchmark yields and quoted market prices from dealers or brokers.

Note 10 — Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred up to the date the unaudited condensed financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, the Company, other than as described below, did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed financial statements.

On May 6, 2024 the Company deposited $20,000, into the Trust Account to extend the Business Combination Period to June 7, 2024.

During the preparation of an Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for Insight Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) learned that for the period between March 2, 2023 and December 5, 2023, the Company withdrew an approximate amount of $2,497,250 from the Trust Account pursuant to seven separate written withdrawal requests to Continental Stock Transfer and Trust (“Continental”), the trustee for the Trust Account for the payment of taxes. Jeff Gary, consistent with his position as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, signed and delivered each of the seven separate written withdrawal requests to Continental. Between March 10, 2023 and December 13, 2023 the Company paid an amount of $1,447,900 of which $1,130,000, in four payments, was paid for estimated income tax payments for 2022 and 2023 and $317,900, in three payments, was paid for Delaware franchise taxes. The CFO, made each of the seven payments for estimated taxes and Delaware franchise taxes. The Board learned further that between March 2, 2023 and December 31, 2023, Mr. Gary used the remaining approximate $3,049,360 that was withdrawn from the Trust Account for tax purposes, to pay other business expenses of the Company. Each of the transactions described above was recorded on the books of the Company and no money was used for anything other than tax payments or appropriate Company business related expenses. The $1,049,360 that was withdrawn from the Trust Account for tax purposes to pay business expenses of the Company was fully paid back to the Trust Account by the Sponsor on March 15, 2024 and on March 26, 2024, and the Sponsor wired an additional $36,285.07 in to the Trust Account to reimburse the Trust Account for interest that would have accrued on the funds that were erroneously withdrawn from the Trust Account. As a result, there has been no financial loss to shareholders or the Trust Account.

9.      All deferred compensation owed to Mr. Gary by the Company to date, in the aggregate amount of $132,500, shall be forfeited by Mr. Gary, and that henceforth Mr. Gary shall cease to accrue $7,500 per month in service fees currently recorded in due to related party on the balance sheet.

10.    Mr. Gary shall not be the Company’s designee to be a member of the board of directors of the post-transaction company in the Company’s planned business combination with Alpha Modus Corp.

In May 2024, the Company and the Sponsor entered into a capital contribution agreement effective as of May 9, 2023, in which the funds deposited by the Sponsor were to be considered a capital contribution to the Company.

On May 15, 2024, the Company, Sponsor and Polar entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Subscription Agreement (the Amendment”) pursuant to which Polar’s aggregate advance under the Subscription Agreement was reduced from $1,000,000 to $975,000 and in the event the Company consummates the business combination with Alpha Modus Corp., then the Company will not be obligated to issue to Polar one (1) share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for each dollar Polar advances to the Company under at Subscription Agreement at the closing of the business combination. However, if the Company consummates a business combination with an entity other than Alpha Modus, Corp., then the Company is obligated to issue to Polar one (1) share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for each dollar Polar advances to the Company under at Subscription Agreement at the closing of the business combination with an entity other than Alpha Modus, Corp. (the “Subscription Shares”). The Subscription Shares shall be subject to no transfer restrictions or any other lock-up provisions, earn outs, or other contingencies. The Subscription Shares (i) to the extent feasible and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations shall be registered as part of any registration statement issuing shares before or in connection with the closing of the business combination or (ii) if no such registration statement is filed in connection with the closing of the business combination, shall promptly be registered pursuant to the first registration statement filed by the Company or the surviving entity following the closing of the business combination, which shall be filed no later than 30 days after the closing of the business

combination and declared effective no later than 90 days after the closing of the business combination. Sponsor shall not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any securities owned by the Sponsor until the Subscription Shares have been transferred to the Investor and the registration statement has been made effective.

On June 5, 2024, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting the Company’s stockholders approved the filing of a Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) with the Delaware Secretary of State to modify the terms and extend time by which the Company has to consummate an initial business combination (the “Business Combination”) from June 7, 2024 to December 7, 2024, provided that the Company deposits the lesser of $20,000 and $0.02 for each outstanding share of common stock sold in the Company’s initial public offering into the Trust Account, as defined in the Charter for each one-month extension. In connection with the stockholder’s vote at the Special Meeting and the planned filing of the Third Amendment, 481,865 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, were tendered for redemption.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of

Insight Acquisition Corp.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Insight Acquisition Corp. and subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Emphasis of Matter — Franchise and Income Tax Withdrawals from Trust Account

As discussed in Note 12 to the financial statements, the Company withdrew $2,703,102 from the Trust Account to pay liabilities related to the federal income and Delaware franchise taxes. Through December 31, 2023, the Company remitted $1,653,743 to the respective tax authorities, which resulted in remaining excess funds withdrawn from the Trust Account but not remitted to the government authorities of $1,049,359. Management has determined that this use of the Withdrawn Trust Funds was not in accordance with the Trust Agreement. The disclosure of this was omitted from the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023. The amounts deemed to have been used for operating expenses were $4,448 as of June 30, 2023 and $1,411,063 as of September 30, 2023.

Emphasis of the Matter — Restatement of Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the unaudited interim financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 have been restated to correct certain misstatements.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, if the Company is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs and complete a business combination by June 7, 2024 (as approved by the Annual Meeting described in Note 1), then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The liquidity condition and date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

F-30

Table of Contents

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

INSIGHT ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2023

Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations

Insight Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on April 20, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

The Company has one subsidiary, IAC Merger Sub Inc., a Florida corporation (“Merger Sub”), a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in on October 10, 2023. As of December 31, 2023 the subsidiary had no activity.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from April 20, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) described below and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, the search for a business combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

The Company’s sponsor is Insight Acquisition Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on September 1, 2021. On September 7, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 24,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), generating gross proceeds of $240.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $17.5 million, of which approximately $12.0 million and approximately $668,000 were for deferred underwriting commissions (see Note 5) and offering costs allocated to derivate warrant liabilities, respectively.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 7,500,000 and 1,200,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”), to the Sponsor and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”) and Odeon Capital Group, LLC (“Odeon”), respectively, for an aggregate of 8,700,000 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating proceeds of $8.7 million (see Note 4).

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $241.2 million ($10.05 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and of the Private Placement Warrants in the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in U.S. “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes and excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2023

Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations (cont.)

The Company will provide the holders of the Company’s outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”) 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 stockholders meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, in its sole discretion. The Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then held in the Trust Account (initially at $10.05 per Public Share plus pro rata interest earned in Trust Account). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 5). These Public Shares were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the holders of 65% of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Initial Stockholders (as defined below) agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 3) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering, and the Anchor Investors (as defined below in Note 3) agreed to vote any Founder Shares held by them in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the Initial Stockholders agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination. The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation provides that a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder 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”)), is restricted from redeeming an aggregate of 20% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation provides that a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder 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”)), is restricted from redeeming an aggregate of 20% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and any other holders of the Founder Shares immediately prior to the Initial Public Offering (the “Initial Stockholders”) agreed not to propose an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

The Anchor Investors are not entitled to (i) redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares held by them in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares held by them in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Certificate of Incorporation in a manner that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (iii) rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period).

Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations (cont.)

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by June 7, 2024, which may be extended only by the vote of our stockholders to approve an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Combination Period”) the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject, in each case, to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

On March 6, 2023 the Company held a special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of stockholders. At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders were asked to vote on the following items: (i) a proposal to amend the Charter to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination for an additional one month, from March 7, 2023 to April 7, 2023 and thereafter, at the discretion of the board of directors of the Company and without a vote of the stockholders, up to five (5) times for an additional one month each time, for a total of up to five additional months to September 7, 2023 (the “First Charter Amendment Proposal”), (ii) a proposal to amend the Company’s Charter to eliminate from the Charter the limitation that the Company may not redeem public shares to the extent that such redemption would result in the Company having net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) of less than $5,000,001 (the “Redemption Limitation”) in order to allow the Company to redeem public shares irrespective of whether such redemption would exceed the Redemption Limitation (the “Second Charter Amendment Proposal”), (iii) a proposal to amend the Charter to provide for the right of a holder of Class B common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock”) to convert such shares into shares of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) on a one-for-one basis prior to the closing of a business combination at the election of the holder (the “Third Charter Amendment Proposal” and together with the First Charter Amendment Proposal and the Second Charter Amendment Proposal, the “Charter Amendment Proposals”) and (iv) a proposal to direct the chairman of the Special Meeting to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Special Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve each of the Charter Amendment Proposals. In connection with the Extension, the holders of 21,151,393 Class A common shares, representing approximately 88.1% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Class A common shares, elected to redeem their shares. Following such redemptions, approximately $28,744,831 remained in the trust account and 2,848,607 shares of Class A Common Stock remained issued and outstanding.

On March 28, 2023, the board of directors of the Company approved a one-month extension of the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination to May 7, 2023 and authorized management to deposit $80,000 into the Trust Account for such extension. Accordingly, management deposited $80,000 into the Trust Account and the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination has been extended to May 7, 2023. On May 2, 2023, the board of directors of the Company approved an additional one-month extension to June 7, 2023 and deposited an additional $80,000 into the Trust Account.

On March 29, 2023, the Company entered into a forward share purchase agreement (the “Forward Share Purchase Agreement”) with Avila, Meteora Special Opportunity Fund I, LP, Meteora Capital Partners, LP and Meteora Select Trading Opportunities Master, LP (collectively, “Seller”) for an OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transaction (the “Forward Purchase Transaction”). Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, Seller intends but is not obligated to purchase the Company’s Class A Common Stock from holders (other than the Company or its affiliates) who have elected to redeem such shares in connection with the Proposed Transactions. Purchases by Seller will be made through brokers in the open market after the redemption deadline in connection with the Proposed Transactions at a price no higher than the redemption price to be paid by the Company in connection with the Proposed Transactions (the “Initial Price”). The Shares purchased by the Seller, other than the Share Consideration Shares are referred to

On April 3, 2023, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (“Avila BCA”) with Avila Energy Corporation, an Alberta corporation (“Avila”), pursuant to which the Company will acquire Avila for consideration of shares of the Company following its redomicile into the Province of Alberta. The business combination agreement and related executed agreements included supporting agreements and a forward share purchase agreement are more fully described and filed with the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 4, 2023.

On April 18, 2022, the Company received a notification from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) that it was in violation of NYSE requirements as it had failed to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”) and that if the Form 10-K is not filed with the SEC by 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time on April 21, 2023, NYSE post the Company to the NYSE’s late filers list on the Profile, Data and News pages with respect to each of the Company’s securities (the “LF Designation”). Effective April 19, 2022, the Company filed the Form 10-K and that same day the Company received additional correspondence from the NYSE acknowledging that the filing had been made and cancelling its prior correspondence and stating that the LF Designation would not be posted on the Profile, Data and News pages with respect to each of the Company’s securities.

On April 27, 2023, the Company issued a press release reporting that the Company will transfer the listing of its securities to The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”). In the press release, the Company stated that its securities will commence trading on Nasdaq upon the market open on Tuesday, May 2, 2023. The Company’s Class A common stock will continue trading under the ticker symbol “INAQ” on the Nasdaq Global Market and the Company’s units and warrants will continue trading under the ticker symbols “INAQU” and “INAQW,” respectively, on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

On May 24, 2023, the Company received a notification from the Nasdaq that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250I(1) as it had failed to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-Q”). Under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company now has 60 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance and if the plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the Form 10-Q’s due date, or until November 20, 2023, to regain compliance. The Company subsequently filed the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 on June 2, 2023, regaining compliance.

On August 10, 2023, the Company and Avila entered into a Letter Agreement providing for the mutual termination of the Avila BCA. The Letter Agreement provides for the mutual release of claims against the other party and also provides that Avila will pay to the Company $300,000 in partial reimbursement of expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the Avila BCA (the “Avila Payment”). The Avila Payment is due and payable as follows: 1) up to $300,000 immediately upon Avila’s receipt of net proceeds from any financing, public or private, in excess of U.S. $3,000,000, -or- (2) (i) $50,000 by December 1, 2023, (ii) $100,000 by February 1, 2024 and (iii) $150,000 by April 1, 2024.

On August 17, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $480,000 (the “Note”) to the Sponsor, in exchange for the Sponsor advancing $480,000 to the Company to fund six one-month extensions of the amount of time the Company has to complete its initial business combination, from March 7, 2023 to September 7, 2023. The Note does not bear interest and matures upon the closing of an initial business combination by the Company. In addition, at the option of the holder, the Note may be paid by the Company through the issuance of private placement warrants of the Company at a price of $1.00 per unit. The loan will be forgiven, except to the extent of any funds held outside of the Company’s trust account, by the Sponsor, if Company is unable to consummate an initial business combination. On November 6, 2023, the Company and the Sponsor entered into a written agreement (the “Rescission Agreement”) to rescind and nullify that certain promissory note in the principal amount of $480,000 and executed on August 17, 2023 (the “Note”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay the Sponsor the principal amount of $480,000 subject to the terms and conditions of the Note. Upon execution and

As approved by its stockholders at the annual meeting of stockholders held on September 6, 2023 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Company filed a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) with the Delaware Secretary of State on September 6, 2023 to modify the terms and extend Combination Period by which the Company has to consummate an initial business combination (the “Business Combination”) from September 7, 2023 to June 7, 2024, provided that the Company deposits the lesser of $20,000 and $0.02 for each outstanding share of common stock sold in the Company’s initial public offering into the Trust Account, as defined in the Charter for each one-month extension. In connection with the stockholder’s vote at the Annual Meeting, 1,847,662 shares were tendered for redemption in exchange for a total redemption payment of $19,208,848.

On September 7, 2023, October 7, 2023, November 7, 2023, December 15, 2023, January 5, 2024, February 2, 2024, February 7, 2024, March 20, 2024 and May 6, 2024 the Company deposited $20,000 into the Trust Account on each date, to extend the Business Combination Period from September 7, 2023 to June 7, 2024.

Effective as of October 13, 2023, the Company, IAC Merger Sub Inc., a Florida corporation (“Merger Sub”) and Alpha Modus, Corp., a Florida corporation (“Alpha Modus”), entered into a business combination agreement and plan of merger (the “AM BCA”) pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Alpha Modus with Alpha Modus as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has unanimously approved and declared advisable the AM BCA, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby (the “Proposed Transactions”). A copy of the AM BCA is filed as Exhibit 2.1 in the Current Report on Form 8-K, dated October 17, 2023. In connection with entering into the AM BCA, in October 2023, the Company formed IAC Merger Sub Inc., a Florida corporation.

On December 28, 2023, the Company filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) in connection with the proposed business combination with Alpha Modus, Corp. based in Metro-Charlotte, NC (the “Business Combination”).

The Initial Stockholders agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Stockholders acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission (see Note 5) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.05. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (except for 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 entered into a letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement (a “Target”), reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.05 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.05 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or Target that executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors

Risks and Uncertainties

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 is not determinable as of the date of these consolidated financial statements. The specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these consolidated financial statements.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. Any share redemption or other share repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise will depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury.

The Company held a meeting on March 6, 2023 where the stockholders voted to approve a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the Combination Period, from March 7, 2023, monthly for up to six additional months at the election of the Company, ultimately until as late as September 7, 2023 (the “Extension”, and such extension date the “Extended Date”). In connection with the March 6, 2023 meeting, 21,151,393 shares of the Company’s common stock were redeemed with a total redemption payment of $215,621,387.

The Company held its annual meeting on September 6, 2023 where the stockholders voted to approve a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the Combination Period, from September 7, 2023 to June 7, 2024, provided that the Company deposits the lesser of $20,000 and $0.02 for each outstanding share of common stock sold in the Company’s initial public offering into the Trust Account, as defined in the Charter for each one-month extension. In connection with the stockholder’s vote at the Annual Meeting, 1,847,662 shares were tendered for redemption in exchange for a total redemption payment of $19,208,848.

As a result, the Company booked a liability of $2,348,302 for the excise tax based on 1% of shares redeemed during the reporting period. For interim periods, an entity is not required to estimate future stock repurchases and stock issuances to measure its excise tax obligation. Rather, an entity can generally record the obligation on an as-incurred basis. In other words, the excise tax obligation recognized at the end of a quarterly financial reporting period is calculated as if the end of the quarterly period was the end of the annual period for which the excise tax obligation is payable.

Pursuant to the AM BCA, (i) in the event the business combination contemplated by the AM BCA occurs, then the surviving company shall pay the Company’s excise tax liability; (ii) if Alpha Modus does not obtain its shareholders approval of the business combination, or Alpha Modus breaches the AM BCA, then Alpha Modus will be responsible to pay the Company’s excise tax liability; and (iii) if an Alpha Modus material adverse effect occurs and the business combination does not close, or if Alpha Modus fails to close the business combination for any reason other than a material breach by the Company, then Alpha Modus will be responsible to pay the Company’s excise tax liability. In all other circumstances the Company will be responsible to pay the Company’s excise tax liability, except if the Company liquidates prior to December 31, 2023, in which event there will be no excise tax liability. The Company will not use any of the funds held in the Trust Account and any additional amounts deposited into the Trust Account, as well as any interest earned thereon, to pay for the Company’s excise tax liability. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holders, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax by the Company have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.

In October 2023, the Israel-Hamas war commenced. As a result of the war, instability in the Middle East and various other regions of the world may occur and effect the world economy. Various nations, including the United States, as a reaction to the Israel-Hamas war have begun taking actions that may further affect the world economy. Such effects on the world economy are not determinable as of the date of these consolidated financial statements. The specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these consolidated financial statements.

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 of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such 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 consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $0 in its operating bank account available to pay operating expenses and working capital deficit of approximately $3,571,000.

Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations (cont.)

The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to cover for certain offering costs on behalf of the Company in exchange for issuance of the Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4), and the loan from the Sponsor of approximately $163,000 under the Note (as defined in Note 4). The Company repaid $157,000 of Note balance on September 7, 2021 and repaid the remaining balance of approximately $6,000 in full on September 13, 2021, at which time the Note was terminated. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (see Note 5). As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans.

On August 17, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $480,000 (the “Note”) to the Sponsor, in exchange for the Sponsor advancing $480,000 to the Company to fund six one-month extensions of the amount of time the Company has to complete its initial business combination, from March 7, 2023 to September 7, 2023. The Note does not bear interest and matures upon the closing of an initial business combination by the Company. In addition, at the option of the holder, the Note may be paid by the Company through the issuance of private placement warrants of the Company at a price of $1.00 per unit. The loan will be forgiven, except to the extent of any funds held outside of the Company’s trust account, by the Sponsor, if Company is unable to consummate an initial business combination. On November 6, 2023, the Company and the Sponsor entered into a written agreement (the “Rescission Agreement”) to rescind and nullify that certain promissory note in the principal amount of $480,000 and executed on August 17, 2023 (the “Note”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay the Sponsor the principal amount of $480,000 subject to the terms and conditions of the Note. Upon execution and delivery of the Rescission Agreement, the Note, in its entirety, is hereby irrevocably rescinded, abrogated, cancelled and rendered null and void ab initio and of no force or effect whatsoever, and the positions among the Company and the Sponsor shall be restored to what would have existed had they not entered into the Note.

On August 30, 2023, the Company, Sponsor and Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (“Polar”), an investor, entered into an agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) in which Polar has agreed to fund the Sponsor up to $1,000,000, pursuant to written draw down requests (a “Capital Call”), and the Sponsor will in turn loan such funds to the Company, to cover the Company’s working capital expenses (each a “Sponsor Loan”). For the year ended December 31, 2023, Polar funded Sponsor $600,000 under the Subscription Agreement and the Sponsor loaned the Company $600,000 from Polar.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until June 7, 2024 (extended monthly through extension payments), to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. The Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, suspending the pursuit of a Business Combination. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to complete a Business Combination by close of business on June 7, 2024. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after June 7, 2024.

Note 2 — Restatement to Prior Period Financial Statements

During the course of preparing the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company identified an amount due to shareholders which was identified during the year ended December 31, 2023 and not accounted for during the September 30, 2023 Form 10-Q review and filing. Since the completion of its IPO on September 7, 2021, and through December 31, 2023, the Company withdrew $2,703,102 from the Trust Account to pay liabilities related to the income and Delaware franchise taxes. Through December 31, 2023, the Company remitted $1,653,743 to the respective tax authorities, which resulted in remaining excess funds withdrawn from the Trust Account but not remitted to the government authorities of $1,049,359. Additionally, the Withdrawn Trust Funds were held in the Company’s operating account that also holds funds deposited by the Sponsor to be used for general operating expenses. Management has determined that this use of the Withdrawn Trust Funds was not in accordance with the Trust Agreement. See Note 12 for further details.

During the period in which the over withdrawals occurred, the Company held its annual meeting on September 6, 2023 where the stockholders voted to approve a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the Combination Period, from September 7, 2023 to June 7, 2024 (as noted in Note 1). In connection with the stockholder’s vote at the annual meeting, there was a share redemption in exchange for a redemption payment paid to the redeeming shareholders. Upon calculation of the over withdrawals, the Company determined that $628,758 of the over withdrawn amount is due to those redeemed shareholders and has accounted for this on the balance sheet as due to shareholders as of December 31, 2023, however, this amount should have been recorded as of September 30, 2023. Additionally, of the $1,049,359 over withdrawal amount noted above, $994,950 was over withdrawn as of September 30, 2023 and should be accounted of as due from Sponsor. The Company determined these errors were material to the Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The below table represent the impact and adjustments to the financial statements:

Note 3 — Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Principles of Consolidation

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

Note 3 — Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

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 had no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Restricted Cash

The Company has $314,482 of restricted cash to be used to pay for taxes as of December 31, 2023. There was no restricted cash balance as of December 31, 2022.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these consolidated financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities. 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 consolidated 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 significantly from those estimates.

Investments Held in the Trust Account

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. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the consolidated 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 income from investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” equals or approximates the carrying amounts represented in the consolidated balance sheets, except for the derivative liabilities (see Note 11).

F-45

INSIGHT ACQUISITION CORP.

Note 3 — Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

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

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Derivative Liabilities

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants and the forward purchase agreement, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

The warrants issued in the Initial Public Offering (the “Public Warrants”) and the Private Placement Warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the carrying value of the instruments to fair value at each reporting period for so long as they are outstanding. The initial fair value of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Public Offering and the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants have been estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model and subsequently, the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants have been estimated using the public market quoted prices at each measurement date starting at September 30, 2022. The fair value of Public Warrants has subsequently been measured based on the listed market price of such warrants. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,600,000 additional Units solely to cover over-allotments, if any. The Company estimated the fair value of the over-allotment option using a Black-Scholes model. On October 16, 2021, the over-allotment option expired unexercised.

The Forward Purchase Agreement entered into on March 29, 2023 included elements that require liability classification under ASC 480. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the Forward Purchase Agreement as a liability at fair value and adjusts the carrying value of the instruments to fair value at each reporting period for so long as it is outstanding. The initial fair value of the Forward Purchase Agreement liability issued was estimated using a Put Option Pricing model, which analyzed and incorporated into the model the put price, the risk-free rate, the variable term, the settlement features, the likelihood of completing a business combination and the early termination provisions.

Note 3 — Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

The model estimates the underlying economic factors that influenced which of these events would occur, when they were likely to occur, and the specific terms that would be in effect at the time (i.e., stock price, exercise price, etc.). Probabilities were assigned to each variable such as the timing and pricing of events over the term of the instruments based on management projections. The fair value was adjusted for the market implied likelihood of completing a business combination.

Capital Call Loan

The Company analyzed the Subscription Agreement under ASC 470 “Debt”, ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”, and concluded that, (i) the Subscription Shares (as defined in Note 5) issuable under the Subscription Agreement are not required to be accounted for as a liability under ASC 480 or ASC 815, (ii) bifurcation of a single derivative that comprises all of the fair value of the Subscription Share feature(s) (i.e., derivative instrument(s)) is not necessary under ASC 815-15-25-7 through 25-10 and (iii) under ASC 470-20-25-2 the Subscription Shares are deemed to be representative of a freestanding financial instrument issued in a bundled transaction with the Capital Call Loan. The Subscription Shares to be issued as part of the bundled transaction are classified and accounted for as equity. As a result, proceeds from the sale of a debt instrument with stock purchase Subscription Shares shall be allocated to the two elements based on the relative fair values of the debt instrument without the Subscription Shares and of the Subscription Shares themselves at time of issuance. The portion of the proceeds so allocated to the Subscription Shares shall be accounted for as paid-in capital. The remainder of the proceeds shall be allocated to the debt instrument portion of the transaction. This results in a debt discount, which shall be accounted for as interest and amortized as interest expense over the life of the loan. As of December 31, 2023, the Company received $600,000 under the Subscription Agreement and recorded the amounts as a due to investors, net of debt discount of $279,245, on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2022 there is no amount outstanding under the Capital Call Loan.

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly 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 associated with derivative warrant liabilities were expensed as incurred and presented as non-operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Offering costs associated with issuance of the Class A common stock were charged against the carrying value of the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company classifies deferred underwriting commissions as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Deferred tax assets were offset by a full valuation allowance as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. Deferred tax liabilities were $9,935 and $156,593 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Note 3 — Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the consolidated financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of December 31, 2023 and 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 has been subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as liability instruments and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, 1,000,945 and 24,000,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the security. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount, which resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share

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

The calculation of diluted net (loss) income does not consider the effect of the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering and the private placement warrants to purchase an aggregate of 20,700,000 shares of Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted (loss) income per share, because their exercise is contingent upon future events and their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted net (loss) income per share is the same as basic net (loss) income per share for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

Note 4 — Initial Public Offering

On September 7, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 24,000,000 Units, generating gross proceeds of $240.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $17.5 million, of which approximately $12.0 million and approximately $668,000 were for deferred underwriting commissions and offering costs allocated to derivative warrant liabilities, respectively. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).

Of the 24,000,000 Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, 23,760,000 Units were purchased by certain qualified institutional buyers or institutional accredited investors which are not affiliated with any member of the Company management (the “Anchor Investors”). In connection with the sale of Units to the Anchor Investors, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 1,350,000 of the Company’s Class B common stock held by the Sponsor (the “Founder Shares”) to the Anchor Investors at a price of approximately $0.004 per Founder Share. The Company determined that the excess of the fair value of the Founder Shares acquired by the Anchor Investors over the price paid by such Anchor Investors should be recognized as an offering cost in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A. The Company estimated the fair value of the Founder Shares sold to the Anchor Investors to be $2.37 per share or an aggregate of approximately $3.2 million, based on third-party transactions in the Sponsor’s equity interests. Accordingly, the offering cost is 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 the Public Warrants are expensed as incurred. Offering costs allocated to the Public Shares are charged against the carrying value of Class A common stock upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 3,600,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. On October 16, 2021, the over-allotment option expired unexercised.

Note 5 — Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On May 5, 2021, the Sponsor paid for certain offering costs totaling $25,000 on behalf of the Company in exchange for issuance of 6,181,250 shares of the Company’s Founder Shares, par value $0.0001 per share. On July 29, 2021, the Company effected a 1:1.1162791 stock split of Class B common stock, resulting in an aggregate of 6,900,000 shares of Class B common stock outstanding. In connection with the sale of Units to the Anchor Investors, the Sponsor transferred 1,350,000 Founder Shares to the Anchor Investors, as described in Note 3, above. The Sponsor agreed to forfeit up to 900,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the Founder Shares will represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On October 16, 2021, the over-allotment option expired unexercised. As such, 900,000 shares of Class B common stock were forfeited.

On March 22, 2023, 5,100,000 shares of Class B common stock were exchanged for an equal number of shares of Class A common stock. Such shares are not entitled to redemption rights.

The Initial Stockholders agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (i) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) the date following the completion of the initial Business Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the stockholders having the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lockup.

Contributed Capital

During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Sponsor contributed $100,000 to the Company for no consideration.

Private Placement Warrants

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 7,500,000 and 1,200,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor and Cantor and Odeon, respectively, for an aggregate of 8,700,000 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating proceeds of $8.7 million.

Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor and the underwriters was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. Except as set forth below, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable for cash and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor, the underwriters or their permitted transferees.

The Sponsor, the underwriters and the Company’s officers and directors agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.

Related Party Loans

On April 30, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). This loan was non-interest bearing and payable upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company borrowed approximately $163,000 under the Note. On September 7, 2021, the Company repaid $157,000 of Note balance and repaid the remaining balance of approximately $6,000 in full on September 13, 2021. Subsequent to the repayment, the facility was no longer available to the Company.

Note 5 — Related Party Transactions (cont.)

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Services Agreement

On September 1, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to or incurred by members of the Company’s management team until the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred approximately $120,000, under the services agreement in the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, $160,000 and $40,000 were included in due to related party on the consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

The board of directors has also approved payments of up to $15,000 per month, through the earlier of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination or its liquidation, to members of the Company’s management team for services rendered to the Company. In addition, the Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. The Company’s audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, executive officers or directors, or the Company’s or their affiliates. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred approximately $180,000 under the services agreement. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, $225,000 and $45,000 were included in due to related party on the consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

Promissory Note — Related Party

On August 17, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $480,000 (the “Note”) to the Sponsor, in exchange for the Sponsor advancing $480,000 to the Company to fund six one-month extensions of the amount of time the Company has to complete its initial business combination, from March 7, 2023 to September 7, 2023. The Note does not bear interest and matures upon the closing of an initial business combination by the Company. In addition, at the option of the holder, the Note may be paid by the Company through the issuance of private placement warrants of the Company at a price of $1.00 per unit. The loan will be forgiven, except to the extent of any funds held outside of the Company’s trust account, by the Sponsor, if Company is unable to consummate an initial business combination. As of December 31, 2023 there was no amounts drawn from the promissory note and on November 6, 2023 the Company and the Sponsor entered into a written agreement to rescind and nullify the promissory note.

Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares), were entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and stockholder rights agreement signed prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. These holders were entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $4.8 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. An additional fee of $0.50 per unit, or $12.0 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. If the underwriters’ over-allotment option was fully exercised, $0.70 per over-allotment unit, or up to an additional approximately $2.5 million, or approximately $14.5 million in the aggregate, would have been deposited in the Trust Account as deferred underwriting commissions.

The Public Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination; provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Company agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed. If a registration statement covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company’s shares of Class A common stock are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elect, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, it will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

The warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Initial Stockholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Initial Stockholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below under “Redemption of warrants” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

Note 9 — Warrants (cont.)

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, except as set forth below, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor, the underwriters or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the Sponsor, the underwriters or their 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.

Redemption of warrants.    Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants for cash (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

        in whole and not in part;

        at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

        upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

        if, and only if, the closing price of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences

F-57

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 10 — Income taxes (cont.)

representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all of the information available, management believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax assets and has therefore established a full valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the valuation allowance was $896,030 and $369,323, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the change in valuation allowance was $526,707 and $242,233, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had no U.S. federal net operating loss carryovers and no state net operating loss carryovers available to offset future taxable income. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had no U.S. federal net operating loss carryovers and no state net operating loss carryovers available to offset future taxable income.

A reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate (benefit) to the Company’s effective tax rate (benefit) is as follows:

There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of December 31, 2023 and 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 has been subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period. The estimated fair value of the Public Warrants transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 1 fair value measurement on October 1, 2021 because the Public Warrants were separately listed and traded in an active market. The estimated fair value of the Public Warrants transferred from a Level 1 measurement to a Level 2 fair value measurement in September 2022, due to the limited trading activity of the Public Warrants at September 30, 2022 through December 31, 2023. The Private Placement Warrants were transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 2 measurement in September 2022, as the Public and Private Placement Warrants are viewed as economically equivalent. There were no transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Level 1 assets include investments in U.S. Treasury securities. The Company uses inputs such as actual trade data, benchmark yields and quoted market prices from dealers or brokers.

The initial fair value of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants have been estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model and subsequently, the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants have been estimated using a Black-Scholes model at each measurement date until September 30, 2022 when the public market quoted price was used. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized a loss and gain to the statements of operations resulting from an increase and decrease in the fair value of liabilities of approximately $0.54 million and $10.7 million, respectively, presented as change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The initial fair value and the value of the Forward Purchase Agreement liability (previously recorded) issued was estimated using a Put Option Pricing model, which that were analyzed and incorporated into the model included the put price, the risk-free rate, the variable term, the settlement features, the likelihood of completing a business combination and the early termination provisions. The model estimates the underlying economic factors that influenced which of these events would occur, when they were likely to occur, and the specific terms that would be in effect at the time

The Forward Share Purchase Agreement was terminated as a result of the termination of the Avila BCA on August 10, 2023. As of December 31, 2023 the liability related to the Forward Purchase Agreement was completely derecognized.

Note 12 — Franchise and Income Tax Withdrawal

Since the completion of its IPO on September 7, 2021, and through December 31, 2023, the Company withdrew $2,703,102 from the Trust Account to pay liabilities related to the income and Delaware franchise taxes. Through December 31, 2023, the Company remitted $1,653,743 to the respective tax authorities, which resulted in remaining excess funds withdrawn from the Trust Account but not remitted to the government authorities of $1,049,359. Additionally, the Withdrawn Trust Funds were held in the Company’s operating account that also holds funds deposited by the Sponsor to be used for general operating expenses. As a result, the Company mistakenly used $1,415,512 of the Withdrawn Trust Funds for payment of general operating expenses as of December 31, 2023. The disclosure of this inadvertent mistake was omitted from the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023. The amounts deemed to have been used for operating expenses were $4,448 as of June 30, 2023, and $1,411,063 as of September 30, 2023. Management has determined that this use of the Withdrawn Trust Funds was not in accordance with the Trust Agreement. On March 21, 2024, the Sponsor deposited, and the Company paid to the Trust Account a total of $1,049,359, which made the Withdrawn Trust Funds whole. The transfer from the Sponsor replenished the Company’s operating account for the Withdrawn Trust Funds inadvertently used for operating expenses.

On July 20, 2023, the Company effected the transfer of $480,000 from its operating account to the Sponsor and on August 7, 2023, the Company effected the transfer of an additional $411,000 from the its operating account to the Sponsor. The Board learned on or about November 14, 2023, that the Company had transferred funds from its operating account to the Sponsor. The Board was informed that the money was being used by the Sponsor to pay Company expenses. The Board directed the Company to have the Sponsor return all such funds to the Company. The Sponsor transferred $891,000 to the Company between October 10, 2023 and November 2, 2023.

During the period in which the over withdrawals occurred, the Company held its annual meeting on September 6, 2023 where the stockholders voted to approve a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the Combination Period, from September 7, 2023 to June 7, 2024 (as noted in note 1). In connection with the stockholder’s vote at the annual meeting, there was a share redemption in exchange for a

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 12 — Franchise and Income Tax Withdrawal (cont.)

redemption payment paid to the redeeming shareholders. Upon calculation of the over withdrawals, the Company determined that $628,758 of the over withdrawn amount is due to those redeemed shareholders and has accounted for this on the balance sheet as due to shareholders. Additionally, of the total $1,049,359 repaid above for the over withdrawal amount, $994,950 should have been recorded as of September 30, 2023, at the time of the annual meeting. See Note 2 for details of the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2023 restatement.

Note 13 — Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred up to the date the consolidated financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other as described below, the Company, did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

On January 5, 2024, February 2, 2024, February 7, 2024, March 20, 2024 and May 6, 2024 the Company deposited $20,000, on each date, into the Trust Account to extend the Business Combination Period from January 7, 2024 to June 7, 2024.

For the period between March 2, 2023 and December 5, 2023, the Company withdrew an approximate amount of $2,497,250 from the Trust Account pursuant to seven separate written withdrawal requests to Continental Stock Transfer and Trust (“Continental”), the trustee for the Trust Account for the payment of taxes. Jeff Gary, consistent with his position as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, signed and delivered each of the seven separate written withdrawal requests to Continental. Between March 10, 2023 and December 13, 2023 the Company paid an amount of $1,447,900 of which $1,130,000, in four payments, was paid for estimated income tax payments for 2022 and 2023 and $317,900, in three payments, was paid for Delaware franchise taxes. The CFO, made each of the seven payments for estimated taxes and Delaware franchise taxes. The Board learned further that between March 2, 2023 and December 31, 2023, Mr. Gary used the remaining approximate $3,049,360 that was withdrawn from the Trust Account for tax purposes, to pay other business expenses of the Company. Each of the transactions described above was recorded on the books of the Company and no money was used for anything other than tax payments or appropriate Company business related expenses. The $1,049,360 that was withdrawn from the Trust Account for tax purposes to pay business expenses of the Company was fully paid back to the Trust Account by the Sponsor on March 15, 2024 and on March 26, 2024, and the Sponsor wired an additional $36,285.07 in to the Trust Account to reimburse the Trust Account for interest that would have accrued on the funds that were erroneously withdrawn from the Trust Account. As a result, there has been no financial loss to shareholders or the Trust Account.

As a result of the above conduct by Mr. Gary, the Board adopted resolutions taking the following actions:

1.      On April 21, 2024, Mr. Gary was removed as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

2.      On April 21, 2024, Mr. Gary was appointed as an Assistant Finance Manager of the Company and shall report to the new Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

3.      On April 21, 2024, Michael Singer, the Executive Chairman of the Company, was appointed to the position of Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

4.      On April 21, 2024, Mr. Gary resigned as a director of the Board and the Board has accepted Mr. Gary’s resignation on April 21, 2024.

5.      Mr. Gary shall be removed from all Company bank accounts, including the Trust Account and Mr. Gary’s authority to withdraw funds from the Company bank accounts, including the Trust Account has been terminated.

6.      On April 21, 2024, the Board engaged Glenn Worman as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and that Mr. Worman will approve and sign the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

7.      Mr. Gary agreed to reimburse the Company for all fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the Company’s engagement of Mr. Worman as the new Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

8.      Going forward all withdrawals from the Trust Account, payments of taxes and all fund transfers between the Company and the Sponsor will require the approval of both the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

9.      All deferred compensation owed to Mr. Gary by the Company to date, in the aggregate amount of $132,500, shall be forfeited by Mr. Gary, and that henceforth Mr. Gary shall cease to accrue $7,500 per month in service fees currently recorded in due to related party on the balance sheet.

10.    Mr. Gary shall not be the Company’s designee to be a member of the board of directors of the post-transaction company in the Company’s planned business combination with Alpha Modus Corp.

ALPHA MODUS CORP.
Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements
March 31, 2024

NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Company Background

Alpha Modus Corp. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or “Alpha Modus”), was incorporated in the State of Florida on July 11, 2014.

Nature of Operations

Alpha Modus was founded as an artificial intelligence software as a service provider. As of January 2020, Alpha Modus abandoned its software and deemed it not technologically feasible. Since that time, the Company has focused on developing its patents. Alpha Modus was awarded US Patent No. 10,360,571 (the “571 Patent”) on July 23, 2019. Since August 2019, Alpha Modus has focused on research and development to expand claims of the 571 Patent. The Company intends to begin commercialization efforts of the 571 Patent family in 2024.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with Article 8 of Regulation S-X and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, certain disclosures included in the annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these financial statements as they are not required for interim financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2024 or any future period.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form S-4/A filed by the Company with the SEC on February 8, 2024.

The Company follows the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and has a year-end of December 31st.

Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company’s system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that 1) recorded transactions are valid; 2) valid transactions are recorded; and 3) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods being presented.

Business Segments

The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information in not present.

Liquidity and Going Concern

We have incurred recurring losses since inception and expect to continue to incur losses since the Company does not have any revenue stream. On March 31, 2024, we had $31,523 in cash. Our net loss incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $221,696. The working capital deficit was $1,181,446 on March 31, 2024. As a result, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In the event that we are unable to generate sufficient cash from our operating activities or raise additional funds, we may be required to delay, reduce or severely

F-67

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

curtail our operations or otherwise impede our on-going business efforts, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and long-term prospects. The Company expects to seek to obtain additional funding through increased revenues and future financings. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash

Cash is comprised of cash balances. Cash is held at major financial institutions and is subject to credit risk to the extent that those balances exceed applicable Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance amounts of $250,000. From time to time, the Company has certain cash balances, including restricted cash, that may exceed insured limits. The Company utilizes large banking institutions that are reputable, therefore mitigating the risks.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The book values of cash approximate its respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value hierarchy under GAAP distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs).

The hierarchy consists of three levels

        Level one — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

        Level two — Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

        Level three — Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.

Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. We evaluate our hierarchy disclosures each quarter.

Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period as defined by FASB, ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. The Company does not have any dilutive shares of common stock as of March 31, 2024, or 2023.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carryforwards and their respective tax bases.

F-68

Table of Contents

ALPHA MODUS CORP.
Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements
March 31, 2024

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income (loss) in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

The effect of a change in tax rules on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the period of change. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely-than-not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Tax benefits of uncertain tax positions are recognized only if it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to sustain a position taken on an income tax return. The Company has no liability for uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Interest and penalties in any, related to unrecognized tax benefits would be recognized as interest expense. The Company does not have any accrued interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any significant interest expense recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Notes payable

The Company issued various notes payable to related. These notes payable included original issue discounts and debt issuance costs.

Original issue discounts.    The Company accounts for the original issue discounts in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 835-30Interest and Imputation of Interest, which requires the Company to record the discount as a contra-liability and amortize it over the term of the underlying note using the interest method.

Debt issuance costs.    The Company accounts for debt issuance costs in accordance with ASC No. 470-20Debt, which requires the Company to recognize a contra-liability for costs incurred with the issuance of debt instruments. These contra-liabilities are amortized over the term of the underlying note payable using the interest method.

Related Parties

In accordance with ASC 850 “Related Party Disclosure”, a party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption, except as noted below.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), to require disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation, as well as information on income taxes paid. The new requirements should be applied on a prospective basis with an option to apply them retrospectively. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” The amendments require the disclosure of significant segment expenses as well as expanded interim disclosures, along with other changes to segment disclosure requirements. The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is evaluating the impact that the adoption of the provisions of the ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In 2021, William Alessi (“Alessi”), an officer and director of the Company, loaned the Company $89,929 and received a payment of $4,000, for a net of $85,929.

This note was a modification of the $412,500 note dated January 17, 2023.

NOTE 4 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock

Alpha Modus was incorporated on July 11, 2014, under the laws of the state of Florida with 10,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock with $0.0001 par value.

Series A Preferred Stock

On March 8, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company amended the Series A preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As amended, each share of the Series A preferred stock is entitled to one vote and each ten shares of Series A preferred stock is convertible into one share of common stock.

On April 27, 2021, the Company filed an amended Certificate of Designation (the “Series A Amendment”) regarding the rights associated with the Company’s shares of Series A preferred stock (the “Series A Preferred Shares”). The Series A Amendment modified the conversion entitlements associated with the Series A Preferred Shares. The conversion entitlements were increased from one share of common for ten shares of Series A Preferred Shares to one share of common for 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Shares. The conversion change was to the detriment of the shareholder.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had 0 shares of Series A preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Series B Preferred Stock

On November 26, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized 10 shares of Series B preferred stock with no par value. Each share of Series B preferred stock is entitled to ten million votes and is not convertible into shares of common stock.

NOTE 4 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (cont.)

On March 8, 2021, the Company filed an amended Certificate of Designation (the “Series B Amendment”) regarding the rights associated with the Company’s shares of Series B preferred stock (the “Series B Preferred Shares”). The Series B Amendment modified the conversion entitlements associated with the Series B Preferred Shares. The conversion entitlements were increased from no conversion into common stock to 10,000,000 shares of common stock for one share of Series B Preferred Shares.

The modification of preferred stock rights that included adding a substantive conversion option required the modification to be treated as a redemption of the preferred shares and any difference between the fair value of the modified preferred shares and the carrying amount of the preferred shares be subtracted (or added) to net income to arrive at income available to common shareholders in accordance with ASC 260-10-S99-2. Consequently, the Company has recognized a deemed dividend in determining net income or loss attributable to common shareholders as reported in the Statement of Operations and utilized in computing earnings or loss per common share. The Company, at the time of the Series B Amendment, has not yet commercialized the 571 Patent family therefore, the value of the Company was nil. The Company had not sold any shares of common stock from the date of the Series B Amendment in more than two years. Therefore, the value of the change in conversion rights at the time of the Series B Amendment was nil.

Alpha Modus was incorporated on July 11, 2014, under the laws of the state of Florida with 490,000,000 authorized shares of common stock with $0.0001 par value. The shareholders have one vote per share of common stock.

On March 29, 2024, the Company issued 1,400,000 shares of common stock to JanBella, a related party, as part of the note extension on a note that had matured on January 17, 2024. The shares of common stock were valued at $9.76 per share for a total value of $13,669,789. The Company recorded the charge of $12,418,558 directly to the accumulated deficit balance during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

NOTE 5 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is subject, from time to time, to claims by third parties under various legal disputes. The defense of such claims, or any adverse outcome relating to any such claims, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition and cash flows.

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed.

NOTE 6 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. The Company has determined that there are no other such events that warrant disclosure or recognition in the financial statements other than as set forth below.

Effective as of October 13, 2023, the Company, Insight Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“IAC”), and IAC Merger Sub Inc., a Florida corporation wholly owned by IAC (“Merger Sub”), entered into a business combination agreement and plan of merger (the “BCA”) pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of IAC. Each share of Company common stock will be converted into (i) the right to receive Earnout Shares, and (ii) a certain number of shares of IAC Class A Common Stock (“Common Shares”) equal to (x) $110,000,000 divided by the total number of shares of Company capital stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis as of the date of closing, divided by (y) $10 (the “Merger Consideration”), with the maximum aggregate Merger Consideration being 11,000,000 Common Shares issuable to Company common stockholders in the merger. IAC common stock and warrants issued and outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the merger will continue to be outstanding after the closing of the merger, except that all shares of IAC Class B Common Stock outstanding as of the closing will be converted into the same number of shares of IAC Class A Common Stock as of the closing. The Company is working on an amended BCA and amended Form S-4 to be filed with the SEC by June 30, 2024 and the merger is pending after SEC approval.

On January 8, 2024, the Company entered into a license agreement with GZ6G Technologies Corp. (“GZ6G”).

Xalles desires to be an exclusive licensee, of the Licensed Intellectual Property, that is allowed to use the Licensed Intellectual Property within the Exclusive Industry for maintenance, operational, promotional, advertising, goodwill, and general business purposes, including co-development of new offerings and support of ongoing software maintenance. The Licensing Fee, as defined herein, shall be the greater of (a) ten percent (10%) of the Minimum Revenue or (b) ten percent (10%) of gross revenues derived from the sales of all existing and developed products that utilize the Licensed Intellectual Property or are enhanced to practice the Licensed Intellectual Property. Licensing Fees shall be paid quarterly and are due on the first day of the quarter to which they relate. Licensee shall have 45 days from the due date to pay the Licensing Fee without penalty.

NOTE 6 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (cont.)

On April 11, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to retain Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”) to provide capital market advisory and investment banking services to the Company. The Company shall issue to Maxim (or its designees) an aggregate of 50,000 shares of common stock, which shall be converted into shares of the surviving publicly traded entity (the “Capital Markets Advisory Fee Stock”). The Capital Markets Advisory Fee Stock issued to Maxim shall be registered in the Company’s S-4 Registration Statement (in connection with the De-SPAC Transaction), unrestricted and freely tradeable. In connection with the closing of the De-SPAC Transaction, the Company shall pay to Maxim a non-refundable advisory fee of $300,000, payable upon the Company or its successor’s first capital raise (including any self-directed capital raises) after the closing of the De-SPAC Transaction (the “Advisory Fee”). The 50,000 shares of common stock have been valued at $8.91 per share for a total value of $445,635.

Subsequent to March 31, 2024, the Company and Janbella formalized the February 28, 2024 verbal agreement by entering into an 0% Senior Secured Promissory Note for $400,000 and JanBella funded an additional $300,000. The note matures on August 31, 2024. There is no interest.

On May 14, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with Pickwick Capital Partners, LLC (“Pickwick”). The Company and Pickwick previously entered into a certain letter agreement dated March 7, 2023, pursuant to which Pickwick would provide the Company corporate finance and strategic advisory services, and would be compensated for those services (the “Letter Agreement”). During the term of the Letter Agreement, Pickwick introduced the Company to Insight Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company (“Insight”), and the Company and Insight have entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination”), thereby entitling Pickwick to payment of a success fee under the Letter Agreement. This agreement determined the value of the success fee and method of payment. In accordance with this agreement, the Company issued 195,000 shares of common stock to Pickwick. These shares will be valued at $9.25 per share for a total value of $1,804,685. The Company will record a consulting fee of $1,804,685 for these services.

On May 16, 2024, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (“Polar”), in which Polar agrees to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock for $25,000. These shares have been valued at $8.35 per share for a total value of $8,345,456. The Company is still evaluating the proper accounting for these shares.

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Alpha Modus Corp.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Alpha Modus Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses and has stockholders’ deficit that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

ALPHA MODUS CORP.
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2023

NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Company Background

Alpha Modus Corp. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or “Alpha Modus”), was incorporated in the State of Florida on July 11, 2014.

Nature of Operations

Alpha Modus was founded as an artificial intelligence software as a service provider. As of January 2020, Alpha Modus abandoned its software and deemed it not technologically feasible. Since that time, the Company has focused on developing its patents. Alpha Modus was awarded US Patent No. 10,360,571 (the “571 Patent”) on July 23, 2019. Since August 2019, Alpha Modus has focused on research and development to expand claims of the 571 Patent. The Company intends to begin commercialization efforts of the 571 Patent family in 2024. See Note 7.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The Company follows the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and has a year-end of December 31st.

Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company’s system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that 1) recorded transactions are valid; 2) valid transactions are recorded; and 3) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods being presented.

Business Segments

The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information in not present.

Liquidity and Going Concern

We have incurred recurring losses since inception and expect to continue to incur losses since the Company does not have any revenue stream. On December 31, 2023, we had $106,809 in cash. Our net loss incurred for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $501,295. The working capital deficit was $964,574 on December 31, 2023. As a result, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In the event that we are unable to generate sufficient cash from our operating activities or raise additional funds, we may be required to delay, reduce or severely curtail our operations or otherwise impede our on-going business efforts, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and long-term prospects. The Company expects to seek to obtain additional funding through increased revenues and future financings. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2023

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Cash

Cash is comprised of cash balances. Cash is held at major financial institutions and is subject to credit risk to the extent that those balances exceed applicable Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance amounts of $250,000. From time to time, the Company has certain cash balances, including restricted cash, that may exceed insured limits. The Company utilizes large banking institutions that are reputable, therefore mitigating the risks.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The book values of cash approximate it’s respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value hierarchy under GAAP distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs).

The hierarchy consists of three levels

        Level one — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

        Level two — Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

        Level three — Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.

Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. We evaluate our hierarchy disclosures each quarter.

Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the year as defined by FASB, ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. The Company does not have any dilutive shares of common stock as of December 31, 2023, or 2022.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carryforwards and their respective tax bases.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income (loss) in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

The effect of a change in tax rules on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the year of change. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely-than-not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Tax benefits of uncertain tax positions are recognized only if it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to sustain a position taken on an income tax return. The Company has no liability for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. Interest and penalties in any, related to unrecognized tax benefits would be recognized as interest expense. The Company does not have any accrued interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any significant interest expense recognized during the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Notes payable

The Company issued various notes payable to related. These notes payable included original issue discounts and debt issuance costs.

Original issue discounts.    The Company accounts for the original issue discounts in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 835-30Interest and Imputation of Interest, which requires the Company to record the discount as a contra-liability and amortize it over the term of the underlying note using the interest method.

Debt issuance costs.    The Company accounts for debt issuance costs in accordance with ASC No. 470-20Debt, which requires the Company to recognize a contra-liability for costs incurred with the issuance of debt instruments. These contra-liabilities are amortized over the term of the underlying note payable using the interest method.

Related Parties

In accordance with ASC 850 “Related Party Disclosure”, a party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued 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 accompanying financial statements, except as noted below.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), to require disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation, as well as information on income taxes paid. The new requirements should be applied on a prospective basis with an option to apply them retrospectively. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 3 — REVISION OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In connection with the preparation of its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company identified immaterial errors related to the outstanding shares of common stock in a prior period. The Company reported 1,162,808 of outstanding shares of common stock as of December 31, 2022 in its financial statements. The correct number of outstanding shares on December 31, 2022 was 1,197,208. On January 16, 2023, the Company entered into Rescission Agreements with four shareholders to rescind Purchase Agreements totaling 36,400 shares of common stock for $141,000 in cash. 34,400 of these rescinded shares were incorrectly reported as being cancelled as of December 31, 2022. However, the remaining shares and the cash were not reported in the financial statements until January 16, 2023, when the transactions took place.

NOTE 5 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock

Alpha Modus was incorporated on July 11, 2014, under the laws of the state of Florida with 10,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock with $0.0001 par value.

Series A Preferred Stock

On March 8, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company amended the Series A preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As amended, each share of the Series A preferred stock is entitled to one vote and each ten shares of Series A preferred stock is convertible into one share of common stock.

On April 27, 2021, the Company filed an amended Certificate of Designation (the “Series A Amendment”) regarding the rights associated with the Company’s shares of Series A preferred stock (the “Series A Preferred Shares”). The Series A Amendment modified the conversion entitlements associated with the Series A Preferred Shares. The conversion entitlements were increased from one share of common for ten shares of Series A Preferred Shares to one share of common for 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Shares. The conversion change was to the detriment of the shareholder.

On September 8, 2023, the Company elected to convert all shares of Series A Preferred Stock into common stock pursuant to the rights granted to the Company under its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation filed on April, 27, 2021 with the Florida Division of Corporations. These shares are owned by The Alessi Revocable Trust (4,800,000), a related party, and Dana R. Morey (300,000).

As of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company had 0 and 5,100,000 shares of Series A preferred stock issued and outstanding, respectively.

Series B Preferred Stock

On November 26, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized 10 shares of Series B preferred stock with no par value. Each share of Series B preferred stock is entitled to ten million votes and is not convertible into shares of common stock.

On March 8, 2021, the Company filed an amended Certificate of Designation (the “Series B Amendment”) regarding the rights associated with the Company’s shares of Series B preferred stock (the “Series B Preferred Shares”). The Series B Amendment modified the conversion entitlements associated with the Series B Preferred Shares. The conversion entitlements were increased from no conversion into common stock to 10,000,000 shares of common stock for one share of Series B Preferred Shares.

The modification of preferred stock rights that included adding a substantive conversion option required the modification to be treated as a redemption of the preferred shares and any difference between the fair value of the modified preferred shares and the carrying amount of the preferred shares be subtracted (or added) to net income to arrive at income available to common shareholders in accordance with ASC 260-10-S99-2. Consequently, the Company has recognized a deemed dividend in determining net income or loss attributable to common shareholders as reported in the Statement of Operations and utilized in computing earnings or loss per common share. The Company, at the time of the Series B Amendment, has not yet commercialized the 571 Patent family therefore, the value of the Company was nil. The Company had not sold any shares of common stock from the date of the Series B Amendment in more than two years. Therefore, the value of the change in conversion rights at the time of the Series B Amendment was nil.

NOTE 5 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (cont.)

On September 8, 2023, The Alessi 2020 Irrevocable Trust elected to convert 10 shares of Series B Preferred Stock into 100,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the rights granted to the Company under its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation filed on March 8, 2021. These shares are owned by The Alessi 2020 Irrevocable Trust, a related party.

As of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company had 0 and 10 shares of Series B preferred stock issued and outstanding, respectively.

Common Stock

Alpha Modus was incorporated on July 11, 2014, under the laws of the state of Florida with 490,000,000 authorized shares of common stock with $0.0001 par value. The shareholders have one vote per share of common stock.

On January 16, 2023, the Company entered into Rescission Agreements with four shareholders to rescind Purchase Agreements totaling 36,400 shares of common stock. Each shareholder signed full waivers, so the Company is not liable for any additional settlement costs or resolutions. As a result, 36,400 shares of common stock were repurchased for $141,000 in cash and were immediately cancelled.

On September 11, 2023, The Alessi 2020 Irrevocable Trust elected to return 90,165,908 shares of common stock for cancellation in preparation of the potential acquisition of Alpha Modus Corp. by Insight Acquisition Corp. The Company agreed to reimburse Mr. Alessi $208,433 for the cancellation of 90,165,908 shares. As a result, 90,165,908 shares of common stock were returned to the Company and cancelled with the amount of $208,433 recorded directly against equity of the Company.

As of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company had 11,000,000 and 1,197,208 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively.

NOTE 6 — INCOME TAXES

As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of $921,993 and $791,656, respectively, which may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income through 2043. The Company’s net operating loss carry forwards may be subject to annual limitations, which could reduce or defer the utilization of the losses as a result of an ownership change as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

The Company’s tax expense differs from the “expected” tax expense for Federal income tax purposes (computed by applying the United States Federal tax rate of 21% and state tax rate of 5% to loss before taxes for fiscal year 2023 and 2022), as follows:

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

Because of the historical earnings history of the Company, the net deferred tax assets for 2023 and 2022 were fully offset by a 100% valuation allowance. The valuation allowance for the remaining net deferred tax assets was $921,993 and $791,656 as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

The tax years 2020 – 2023 remains to examination by federal agencies and other jurisdictions in which it operates.

NOTE 7 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is subject, from time to time, to claims by third parties under various legal disputes. The defense of such claims, or any adverse outcome relating to any such claims, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition and cash flows.

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed.

NOTE 8 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. The Company has determined that there are no other such events that warrant disclosure or recognition in the financial statements other than as set forth below.

Section 3.02 Exchange of Company Securities.

On the Closing Date, IAC shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with an exchange agent to be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto (the “Exchange Agent”) for the benefit of the Company Stockholders, for exchange in accordance with this Section 3.02, the number of shares of IAC Class A Common Stock equal to the Stock Consideration (such shares of IAC Class A Common Stock, the “Exchange Fund”). IAC shall cause the Exchange Agent, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, to pay the applicable portion of the Stock Consideration out of the Exchange Fund in accordance with the Merger Payment Schedule and the other applicable provisions contained in this Agreement. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose other than as contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, and in any event within two Business Days following the Effective Time (but in no event prior to the Effective Time), IAC shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver to each holder of Company Common Stock entitled to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration pursuant to Section 3.01 a letter of transmittal and instructions for use in exchanging such Company Stockholder’s Company Shares for such Company Stockholder’s applicable portion of the Stock Consideration from the Exchange Fund, and that shall be in form and contain provisions which IAC may specify and which are reasonably acceptable to the Company (a “Letter of Transmittal”), which shall (i) contain customary representations and warranties as to title, authorization, execution and delivery, (ii) contain a customary release of all claims against IAC and the Company arising out of or related to such holder’s ownership of Company Shares, (iii) specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Company Shares shall pass, only upon proper delivery of any stock certificate representing the Company Shares (a “Certificate”) to the Exchange Agent, and (iv) include instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates pursuant to the Letter of Transmittal. Promptly following the surrender to the Exchange Agent of all Certificates held by such holder for cancellation (to the extent such Company Shares are or were certificated), together with a Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefore, and IAC shall instruct the Exchange Agent to deliver the Per Share Stock Consideration in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.02, each Certificate entitled to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration, in accordance with Section 3.01 shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Per Share Stock Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01.

(c) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the Company Stockholders for one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to IAC by the Exchange Agent, upon demand, and any Company Stockholders who have not theretofore complied with this Section 3.02 shall thereafter look only to IAC for their Per Share Stock Consideration. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by Company Stockholders as of a date that is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of IAC free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(d) No Further Rights in Company Shares. The Per Share Stock Consideration payable upon conversion of the Company Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid and issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Shares.

(e) Adjustments to Per Share Consideration. The Per Share Stock Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to IAC Class A Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

(h) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Per Share Stock Consideration that such holder is otherwise entitled to receive pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Section 3.01.

(i) Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip or shares representing fractional shares of IAC Class A Common Stock shall be issued upon the exchange of Company Shares, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to have any rights of a stockholder of IAC or a holder of shares of IAC Class A Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no fraction of a share of IAC Class A Common Stock shall be issued by virtue of the Merger or the Transactions contemplated hereby, and each holder who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of IAC Class A Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of IAC Class A Common Stock that otherwise would be received by such holder) shall instead have the number of shares of IAC Class A Common Stock issued to such holder rounded in the aggregate to the nearest whole share of IAC Class A Common Stock.

Each of IAC and the Company shall cooperate and mutually agree upon (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), any response to comments of the SEC with respect to the Registration Statement and any amendment to the Registration Statement filed in response thereto.

(e) If, at any time prior to the Effective Time, any event or circumstance relating to IAC or Merger Sub, or their respective officers or directors, should be discovered by IAC which should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Registration Statement, IAC shall promptly inform the Company and as promptly as practicable file with the SEC such amendment or supplement and, to the extent required by applicable Law, mail it to the IAC stockholders. If, at any time prior to the Effective Time, any event or circumstance relating to the Company, or their respective officers or directors, should be discovered by the Company which should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly inform IAC. Each of IAC and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all documents that IAC and the Company are responsible for filing with the SEC in connection with the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement to comply as to form and substance in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

It is the intent of the Parties that the Shelf shall meet the obligations of IAC under the Subscription Agreements and the Registration Rights Agreement, as applicable; provided that the filing of the Shelf shall in no way be deemed to modify the terms of the Subscription Agreements or Registration Rights Agreement, as applicable.

Section 7.02 IAC Stockholders’ Meeting. IAC shall call and hold the IAC Stockholders’ Meeting as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement becomes effective for the purpose of voting solely upon the IAC Proposals and for the purpose of effecting the Redemption; provided that IAC may postpone or adjourn the IAC Stockholders’ Meeting on one or more occasions upon the good faith determination by the IAC Board that such postponement or adjournment is necessary to (a) solicit additional proxies to obtain approval of the IAC Proposals, (b) obtain a quorum if one is not present at any then-scheduled IAC Stockholders’ Meeting or (c) ensure that any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement that is required by applicable Law is provided to the IAC Stockholders with adequate time for review prior to the IAC Stockholders’ Meeting.

Annex 1

Earnout Merger Consideration

This Annex 1 sets forth the terms for the calculation of the number (if any) of $13.00 Company Earnout Shares, $15.00 Company Earnout Shares and $18.00 Company Earnout Shares, as applicable, as well as the terms for the calculation of the number (if any) of the Escrowed Sponsor Shares that shall be released from escrow. Terms used but not defined in this Annex 1 shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the other parts of this Agreement to which this Annex 1 is a part.

For purposes of this Annex 1, “Closing Share Price” means, for any security as of any date(s), the dollar volume-weighted average price for such security on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which such security is then traded during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York time, and ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York time, as reported by Bloomberg through its “HP” function (set to weighted average) or, if the foregoing does not apply, the dollar volume-weighted average price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York time, and ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York time, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no dollar volume-weighted average price is reported for such security by Bloomberg for such hours, the average of the highest closing bid price and the lowest closing ask price of any of the market makers for such security as reported by OTC Markets Group Inc. If the Closing Share Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date(s) on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Share Price of such security on such date(s) shall be the fair market value per share on such date(s) as reasonably determined by IAC.

1. $13.00 Share Price Milestone.

(i) Fractional Shares.

Without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock (voting separately as a single class), the Corporation may not issue any additional shares of Series C Preferred Stock, or any other Preferred Stock that is pari passu or senior to the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to any rights.

ii.   Voting. On any matter presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of meeting), each holder of outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cast one vote for each share of Series C Preferred Stock held. Except as provided by law or by the other provisions of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate, holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class.

d.    Protective Provisions.

i.     So long as any shares of Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation will not, without the affirmative approval of the Holders of a majority of the shares of the Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding (voting separately as one class), (i) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series C Preferred Stock or alter or amend this Second Amended and Restated Certificate, (ii) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to distribution of dividends senior to the Series C Preferred Stock, (iii) amend its certificate of incorporation or other charter documents in breach of any of the provisions hereof, (iv) increase the authorized number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock, or (v) enter into any agreement with respect to the foregoing.

iii.  The Corporation will not have the power to close or effect a voluntary Deemed Liquidation Event unless the agreement or plan of merger or consolidation for such transaction provides that the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation will be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Section V.B.3.e, and the required amount is paid to Holder prior to or upon closing, effectuation or occurrence of the Deemed Liquidation Event.

e.    Liquidation.

i.     Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, after payment or provision for payment of debts and other liabilities of the Corporation, prior to any distribution or payment made to the holders of other Preferred Stock (that is not Series C Preferred Stock) or Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, the Holders of Series C Preferred Stock will be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders an amount with respect to each share of Series C Preferred Stock equal to $10.00 (the “Face Value”), plus an amount equal to any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon (collectively with the Face Value, the “Liquidation Value”).

ii.   If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the amounts payable with respect to the shares of Series C Preferred Stock are not paid in full, the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be paid 100% of the amounts payable to the Corporation’s equity holders in such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

iii.  If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation will be insufficient to make payment in full to all Holders, then the assets distributable to the Holders will be distributed among the Holders at the time outstanding, ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

f.    Redemption.

i.     Mandatory Redemption. If the Corporation determines to liquidate, dissolve or wind-up its business and affairs, or upon closing or occurrence of any Deemed Liquidation Event or Trigger Event (as defined below), the Corporation will redeem all of the Series C Preferred Stock for cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Holder, in an amount equal to the Liquidation Value. Notwithstanding any other provision, the Corporation will not be required to redeem any shares of Series C Preferred Stock for cash solely because the Corporation does not have sufficient authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to issue upon receipt of a Conversion Notice, or for any other reason that is not solely within the control of the Corporation. All amounts that are required or permitted to be paid in cash pursuant to this Second Amended and Restated Certificate will be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Holder.

ii.   Mechanics of Redemption. In order to redeem any of the Holders’ Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding, the Corporation must deliver written notice (each a “Redemption Notice”) to each Holder setting forth (a) the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock that the Corporation is redeeming, (b) the Liquidation Value, and (c) the amount paid. Upon receipt of full payment in cash for a complete redemption, each

Annex B-4

Table of Contents

Holder will promptly submit to the Corporation such Holder’s Series C Preferred Stock certificates. The Redemption Notice will be delivered at least 30 Trading Days prior to payment. For the avoidance of doubt, the delivery of a Redemption Notice will not affect Holder’s rights under Section V.B.3.g until after receipt of cash payment by Holder at the required time.

g.    Conversion.

i.     Mechanics of Conversion.

(a)         One or more shares of the Series C Preferred Stock may be converted, in part or in whole, into shares of Common Stock, at any time or times after the date of the issuance of any shares of Series C Preferred Stock (each respectively an “Issuance Date”), in the sole and absolute discretion of Holder by delivery of one or more written notices to the Corporation or its transfer agent (each a “Conversion Notice”) of the Holder’s election to convert any or all of its shares of Series C Preferred Stock, subject to the following limitations: the Holder shall not convert any of its Series C Preferred Stock during the 18 months following the closing of the Merger, and provided that such limitation shall not apply following the occurrence of any Trigger Event (as defined below).

(b)         Each Conversion Notice will set forth the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock being converted, the applicable Conversion Price, the number of Conversion Shares to be delivered as of the time the Conversion Notice is given (the “Notice Time”), and the calculation thereof.

(c)         As soon as practicable, and in any event within 1 Trading Day of the Notice Time, time being of the essence, the Corporation will do all of the following: (i) transmit the Conversion Notice by electronic mail to the Corporation’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) with instructions to comply with the Conversion Notice, copying the Holder; (ii) either (A) if the Corporation is approved through The Depository Trust Corporation (“DTC”), authorize and instruct the credit by the Transfer Agent of the aggregate number of Conversion Shares set forth in the Conversion Notice, to Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer (FAST) Program, through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system, or (B) only if the Corporation is not approved through DTC, issue and surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice a certificate registered in the name of Holder or its designee, for the number of Conversion Shares set forth in the Conversion Notice, bearing no restrictive legend unless a registration statement covering the Conversion Shares is not effective and neither Corporation nor Holder provides an opinion of counsel to the effect that Conversion Shares may be issued without restrictive legend; and (iii) if it contends that the Conversion Notice is in any way incorrect, a through explanation of why and its own calculation, or the Conversion Notice will conclusively be deemed correct for all purposes. The Corporation will at all times diligently take or cause to be taken all actions reasonably necessary to cause the Conversion Shares to be issued as soon as practicable.

(d)         If the Corporation for any reason, other than not having sufficient authorized and unissued shares, solely within the control of the Corporation and excluding any event that is not solely within the control of the Corporation, does not issue or cause to be issued to the Holder within 3 Trading Days after the date of a Conversion Notice, the number of Conversion Shares stated in the Conversion Notice, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, the Corporation will pay in cash to the Holder on each day after such third Trading Day that the issuance of such Conversion Shares is not timely effected an amount equal to 2% of the product of (i) the aggregate number of Conversion Shares not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which the Holder is entitled, and (ii) the highest Closing Price of the Common Stock between the date on which the Corporation should have issued such shares to the Holder and the actual date of receipt of Conversion Shares by Holder. It is intended that the foregoing will serve to reasonably compensate Holder for any delay in delivery of Conversion Shares, and not as punishment for any breach by the Corporation. The Corporation acknowledges that the actual damages likely to result from delay in delivery are difficult to estimate and would be difficult for Holder to prove.

(e)         Notwithstanding any other provision herein, all of the requirements of Section V.B.3.f and this Section V.B.3.g are each independent covenants; if it has sufficient authorized and unissued shares, the Corporation’s obligations to issue and deliver Conversion Shares upon any Conversion Notice are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable; any breach or alleged breach of any representation or agreement, or any violation or alleged violation of any law or regulation, by any party or any other person will not excuse full and timely performance of any of the Corporation’s obligations under these sections; and under no circumstances may the Corporation seek or obtain any temporary, interim or preliminary injunctive or equitable relief to prevent or interfere with any issuance of Conversion Shares to Holder.

Annex B-5

Table of Contents

(f)          If for any reason whatsoever, other than not having sufficient authorized and unissued shares, Holder does not timely receive the number of Conversion Shares stated in any Conversion Notice, Holder will be entitled to a compulsory remedy of immediate specific performance, temporary, interim and, preliminary and final injunctive relief requiring Corporation and its transfer agent, attorneys, officers and directors to immediately issue and deliver the number of Conversion Shares stated by Holder, which requirement will not be stayed for any reason, without the necessity of posting any bond, and which Corporation may not seek to stay or appeal.

(g)         No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon conversion of Series C Preferred Stock, but rather the Corporation will issue to Holder scrip or warrants registered on the books of the Corporation (certificated or uncertificated) which will entitle Holder to receive a full share upon the surrender of such scrip or warrants aggregating a full share. The Holder will not be required to deliver the original certificates for the Series C Preferred Stock in order to effect a conversion hereunder. The Corporation will pay any and all taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of any Conversion Shares.

ii.   Holder Conversion. In the event of a conversion of any Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to a Conversion Notice, the Corporation will issue to the Holder of such Series C Preferred Stock a number of Conversion Shares equal to (i) the Face Value, multiplied by (ii) the number of such Series C Preferred Stock subject to the Holder Conversion Notice, divided by (iii) the applicable Conversion Price with respect to such Series C Preferred Stock; all in accordance with the procedures and limitations set forth in Section V.B.3.g.i.

h.    Miscellaneous Provisions.

i.     Stock Splits. If the Corporation at any time on or after the filing of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the applicable Face Value, Conversion Price, and other share based metrics in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable will be proportionately increased. If the Corporation at any time on or after such Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the applicable Conversion Price, and other share based metrics in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Conversion Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section will become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

ii.   Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section V.B.3.h.i, if at any time the Corporation grants, issues or sells any options, convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which Holder could have acquired if Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon conversion of all Preferred Stock held by Holder immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

iii.  Notices. The holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to the same rights as the holders of Common Stock with respect to rights to receive notices, reports and audited accounts from the Corporation and with respect to attending stockholder meetings. Any and all notices to the Corporation will be addressed to the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer at the Corporation’s principal place of business on file with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Corporation to any Holder hereunder will be in writing and delivered personally, by electronic mail or facsimile, sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to each Holder at the electronic mail, facsimile telephone number or address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Corporation, or if no such electronic mail, facsimile telephone number or address appears, at the principal place of business of the Holder. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder will be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (1) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile or electronic mail prior to 5:30 p.m. Eastern time, (2) the date after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile or electronic mail later than 5:30 p.m. but prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on such date, (3) the second business day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (4) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given, regardless of how sent.

Annex B-6

iv.   Lost or Mutilated Preferred Stock Certificate. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation (an affidavit of the registered Holder will be satisfactory) of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate evidencing shares of Series C Preferred Stock, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction upon receipt of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation (provided that if the Holder is a financial institution or other institutional investor its own agreement will be satisfactory) or in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender of such certificate, the Corporation will, at its expense, execute and deliver in lieu of such certificate a new certificate of like kind representing the number of shares of such class represented by such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate and dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more other such series, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, to the extent expressly so provided by the applicable Certificate of Designation relating to such series of Preferred Stock, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding shares of the relevant series of Preferred Stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL.

To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as the same exists or as may hereafter be amended, no director or officer of the Corporation shall have any personal liability to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or hereafter may be amended. Any amendment, repeal or modification of this Article VIII, or the adoption of any provision of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article VIII, shall not adversely affect any right or protection or increase the liability of any director or officer of the Corporation with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such amendment, repeal, modification or adoption.

ARTICLE X
INDEMNIFICATION

A. The Corporation shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable law, as now or hereafter in effect, and such right to indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives; provided, however, that, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any director or officer (or his or her heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives) in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board. The right to indemnification conferred by this Article X shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon receipt by the Corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer receiving advancement to repay the amount advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation under this Article X. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Corporation similar to those conferred in this Article X to directors and officers of the Corporation. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Article X shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under this Second Amended and Restated Certificate, the Bylaws, any statute, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Any repeal or modification of this Article X shall only be prospective and shall not adversely affect any rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses of a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation (collectively, the “Covered Persons”) existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to any acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

B. The Corporation hereby acknowledges that certain Covered Persons may have rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses (directly or through insurance obtained by any such entity) provided by one or more third parties (collectively, the “Other Indemnitors”), and which may include third parties for whom such Covered Person serves as a manager, member, officer, employee or agent. The Corporation hereby agrees and acknowledges that notwithstanding any such rights that a Covered Person may have with respect to any Other Indemnitor(s), (i) the Corporation is the indemnitor of first resort with respect to all Covered Persons and all obligations to indemnify and provide advancement of expenses to Covered Persons, (ii) the Corporation shall be required to indemnify and advance the full amount of expenses incurred by the Covered Persons, to the fullest extent required by law, the terms of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate, the Bylaws, any agreement to which the Corporation is a party, any vote of the stockholders or the Board, or otherwise, without regard to any rights the Covered Persons may have against the Other Indemnitors and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Other Indemnitors from any and all claims for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Corporation further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Other Indemnitors with respect to any claim for which the Covered Persons have sought indemnification from the Corporation shall affect the foregoing and the Other Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of any such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Covered Persons against the Corporation. These rights shall be a contract right, and the Other Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this paragraph. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the obligations of the Corporation under this paragraph shall only apply to Covered Persons in their capacity as Covered Persons.

ARTICLE XI
EXCLUSIVE FORUM FOR CERTAIN LAWSUITS

A. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Chancery Court”) (or, if and only if the Chancery Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any state court located within the State of Delaware or, if and only if all such state courts lack subject matter jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) and any appellate court thereof shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the following claims or causes of action under the Delaware statutory or common law: (i) any derivative action, suit or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action, suit or proceeding against the Corporation or any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Corporation arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or this Second Amended and Restated Certificate or the Bylaws

Annex B-11

(as each may be amended from time to time), (iv) any claim or cause of action seeking to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate or the Bylaws (as each may be amended from time to time, including any right, obligation, or remedy thereunder), (v) any action, suit or proceeding as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Chancery Court, or (vi) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against the Corporation or any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine or otherwise related to the Corporation’s internal affairs, in all cases to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the court having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of the immediately preceding sentence is filed in a court other than the courts in the State of Delaware (a “Foreign Action”) in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (a) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence and (b) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder.

B. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Article XII shall not apply to any claim or action arising under the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts of the United States have exclusive jurisdiction.

D. Any person or entity holding, owning, purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any security of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to this Article XII.

B. If any provision or provisions of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other circumstances shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the provisions of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate (including, without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to permit the Corporation to protect its directors, officers, employees and agents from personal liability in respect of their good faith service to or for the benefit of the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by law.

The foregoing clause (c) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to propose business to be brought before an annual meeting of the stockholders. For purposes of this Section 2.4, “present in person” shall mean that the stockholder proposing that the business be brought before the annual meeting of the Corporation, or a qualified representative of such proposing stockholder, appear at such annual meeting. A “qualified representative” of such proposing stockholder shall be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or any other person authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders.

(b) As to each Proposing Person, (1) the full notional amount of any securities that, directly or indirectly, underlie any “derivative security” (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(c) under the Exchange Act) that constitutes a “call equivalent position” (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(b) under the Exchange Act) (“Synthetic Equity Position”) and that is, directly or indirectly, held or maintained by such Proposing Person with respect to any shares of any class or series of shares of the Corporation; provided that, for the purposes of the definition of “Synthetic Equity Position,” the term “derivative security” shall also include any security or instrument that would not otherwise constitute a “derivative security” as a result of any feature that would make any conversion, exercise or similar right or privilege of such security or instrument becoming determinable only at some future date or upon the happening of a future occurrence, in which case the determination of the amount of securities into which such security or instrument would be convertible or exercisable shall be made assuming that such security or instrument is immediately convertible or exercisable at the time of such determination; and, provided, further, that any Proposing Person satisfying the requirements of Rule 13d-1(b)(1) under the Exchange Act (other than a Proposing Person that so satisfies Rule 13d-1(b)(1) under the Exchange Act solely by reason of Rule 13d-1(b)(1)(ii)(E)) shall not be deemed to hold or maintain the notional amount of any securities that underlie a Synthetic Equity Position held by such Proposing Person as a hedge with respect to a bona fide derivatives trade or position of such Proposing Person arising in the ordinary course of such Proposing Person’s business as a derivatives dealer, (2) any rights to dividends on the shares of any class or series of shares of the Corporation owned beneficially by such Proposing Person that are separated or separable from the underlying shares of the Corporation, (3) any material pending or threatened legal proceeding in which such Proposing Person is a party or material participant involving the Corporation or any of its officers or directors, or any affiliate of the Corporation, (4) any other material relationship between such Proposing Person, on the one hand, and the Corporation, any affiliate of the Corporation, on the other hand, (5) any direct or indirect material interest in any material contract or agreement of such Proposing Person with the Corporation or any affiliate of the Corporation (including, in any such case, any employment agreement, collective bargaining agreement or consulting agreement), (6) a representation that such Proposing Person intends or is part of a group which intends to deliver a proxy statement or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal or otherwise solicit proxies from stockholders in support of such proposal and (7) any other information relating to such Proposing Person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies or consents by such Proposing Person in support of the business proposed to be brought before the meeting pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act (the disclosures to be made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (1) through (7) are referred to as “Disclosable Interests”); provided, however, that Disclosable Interests shall not include

Annex C-2

any such disclosures with respect to the ordinary course business activities of any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee who is a Proposing Person solely as a result of being the stockholder directed to prepare and submit the notice required by these Bylaws on behalf of a beneficial owner; and

(c) As to each item of business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting, (1) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting and any material interest in such business of each Proposing Person, (2) the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the Bylaws of the Corporation, the language of the proposed amendment), and (3) a reasonably detailed description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings (x) between or among any of the Proposing Persons or (y) between or among any Proposing Person and any other record or beneficial holder(s) or persons(s) who have a right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time in the future of the shares of any class or series of the Corporation or any other person or entity (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder; and (4) any other information relating to such item of business that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies in support of the business proposed to be brought before the meeting pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act; provided, however, that the disclosures required by this paragraph (iii) shall not include any disclosures with respect to any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee who is a Proposing Person solely as a result of being the stockholder directed to prepare and submit the notice required by these Bylaws on behalf of a beneficial owner.

For purposes of this Section 2.4, the term “Proposing Person” shall mean (i) the stockholder providing the notice of business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting, (ii) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose behalf the notice of the business proposed to be brought before the annual meeting is made, and (iii) any participant (as defined in paragraphs (a)(ii)-(vi) of Instruction 3 to Item 4 of Schedule 14A) with such stockholder in such solicitation.

(iv) A Proposing Person shall update and supplement its notice to the Corporation of its intent to propose business at an annual meeting, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be true and correct as of the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and as of the date that is 10 business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five business days after the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of such record date), and not later than eight business days prior to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment or postponement thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the meeting has been adjourned or postponed) (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of 10 business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other Section of these Bylaws shall not limit the Corporation’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted notice hereunder to amend or update any proposal or to submit any new proposal, including by changing or adding matters, business or resolutions proposed to be brought before a meeting of the stockholders.

(v) Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at an annual meeting that is not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with this Section 2.4. The presiding officer of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine that the business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with this Section 2.4, and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

(vi) This Section 2.4 is expressly intended to apply to any business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders other than any proposal made in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and included in the Corporation’s proxy statement. In addition to the requirements of this Section 2.4 with respect to any business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting, each Proposing Person shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act with respect to any such business. Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall be deemed to affect the rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

(d) As to each candidate whom a Nominating Person proposes to nominate for election as a director, (1) all information with respect to such candidate for nomination that would be required to be set forth in a stockholder’s notice pursuant to this Section 2.5 and Section 2.6 if such candidate for nomination were a Nominating Person, (2) all information relating to such candidate for nomination that is required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14(a) under the Exchange Act (including such candidate’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected), (3) a description of any direct or indirect material interest in any material contract or agreement between or among any Nominating Person, on the one hand, and each candidate for nomination or his or her respective associates or any other participants in such solicitation, on the other hand, including, without limitation, all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 under Regulation S-K if such Nominating Person were the “registrant” for purposes of such rule and the candidate for nomination were a director or executive officer of such registrant (the disclosures to be made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (1) through (3) are referred to as “Nominee Information”), and (4) a completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement as provided in Section 2.6(i).

For purposes of this Section 2.5, the term “Nominating Person” shall mean (i) the stockholder providing the notice of the nomination proposed to be made at the meeting, (ii) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose behalf the notice of the nomination proposed to be made at the meeting is made, and (iii) any other participant in such solicitation.

For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other Section of these Bylaws shall not limit the Corporation’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted notice hereunder to amend or update any nomination or to submit any new nomination.

Annex C-5

(v) In addition to the requirements of this Section 2.5 with respect to any nomination proposed to be made at a meeting, each Nominating Person shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act with respect to any such nominations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5, unless otherwise required by law, if any Nominating Person giving notice provided by this Section 2.5 provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act and subsequently fails to comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(2) and Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act, then the Corporation shall disregard any proxies or votes solicited for the Nominating Person’s nominee. Upon request by the Corporation, if any Nominating Person provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act, such Nominating Person shall deliver to the Corporation, no later than five (5) business days prior to the applicable meeting, reasonable evidence that it has met the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

2.6 Additional Requirements for Valid Nomination of Candidates to Serve as Director and, if Elected, to be Seated as Directors.

(ii) The Board may also require any proposed candidate for nomination as a Director to furnish such other information as may reasonably be requested by the Board in writing prior to the meeting of stockholders at which such candidate’s nomination is to be acted upon in order for the Board to determine the eligibility of such candidate for nomination to be an independent director of the Corporation in accordance with the Corporation’s Corporate Governance Guidelines as adopted and modified from time to time.

(iii) A candidate for nomination as a director shall further update and supplement the materials delivered pursuant to this Section 2.6, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be true and correct as of the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and as of the date that is 10 business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update

Annex C-6

Table of Contents

and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation (or any other office specified by the Corporation in any public announcement) not later than five business days after the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of such record date), and not later than eight business days prior to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment or postponement thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the meeting has been adjourned or postponed) (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of 10 business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other Section of these Bylaws shall not limit the Corporation’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted notice hereunder to amend or update any proposal or to submit any new proposal, including by changing or adding nominees, matters, business or resolutions proposed to be brought before a meeting of the stockholders.

(iv) No candidate shall be eligible for nomination as a director of the Corporation unless such candidate for nomination and the Nominating Person seeking to place such candidate’s name in nomination has complied with Section 2.5 and this Section 2.6, as applicable. The presiding officer at the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine that a nomination was not properly made in accordance with Section 2.5 and this Section 2.6, and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare such determination to the meeting, the defective nomination shall be disregarded and any ballots cast for the candidate in question (but in the case of any form of ballot listing other qualified nominees, only the ballots cast for the nominee in question) shall be void and of no force or effect.

(v) Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no candidate for nomination shall be eligible to be seated as a director of the Corporation unless nominated and elected in accordance with Section 2.5 and this Section 2.6.

2.7 Notice of Stockholders’ Meetings. Unless otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be sent or otherwise given in accordance with Section 8.1 of these Bylaws not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. The notice shall specify the place, if any, date and time of the meeting, the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.

2.8 Quorum. Unless otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person, or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the stockholders. A quorum, once established at a meeting, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum. If, however, a quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either (i) the person presiding over the meeting or (ii) a majority in voting power of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person, or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, shall have power to recess the meeting or adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided in Section 2.9 of these Bylaws until a quorum is present or represented. At any recessed or adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.

2.9 Adjourned Meeting; Notice. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, unless these Bylaws otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At any adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board shall fix as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date so fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

Annex C-7

Table of Contents

2.10 Conduct of Business. At every meeting of the stockholders, the Chairperson of the Board, or, in the Chairperson’s absence, a person designated by the Chairperson, or, in the absence of such designation, a person chosen by the Board, shall act as chair and preside over the meeting. The Secretary of the Corporation or, in his or her absence or inability to act, the person whom the chair of the meeting shall appoint a secretary of the meeting, shall act as secretary of such meeting and keep the minutes thereof. The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting by the person presiding over the meeting. The Board may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board, the person presiding over any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to convene and (for any or no reason) to recess and/or adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures (which need not be in writing) and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such presiding person, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the person presiding over the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present (including, without limitation, rules and procedures for removal of disruptive persons from the meeting); (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the person presiding over the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. The presiding person at any meeting of stockholders, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting (including, without limitation, determinations with respect to the administration and/or interpretation of any of the rules, regulations or procedures of the meeting, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the person presiding over the meeting), shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a matter of business was not properly brought before the meeting and if such presiding person should so determine, such presiding person shall so declare to the meeting and any such matter or business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted or considered. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board or the person presiding over the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

2.11 Voting. Except as may be otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or the DGCL, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock entitled to vote held by such stockholder.

Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, at all duly called or convened meetings of stockholders at which a quorum is present, for the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect a director. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a “plurality of the votes cast” shall mean that the individuals with the highest number of votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote in the election at the meeting are elected as Directors up to the maximum number of directors to be elected. Unless otherwise required by the Certificate of Incorporation, or as otherwise determined by the Chairperson of the Board, the election of directors shall be by written ballot. If authorized by the Board, such requirement of a written ballot shall be satisfied by a ballot submitted by electronic transmission, provided that any such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder or proxy holder. Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, or applicable law or pursuant to any regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities, each other matter presented to the stockholders at a duly called or convened meeting at which a quorum is present shall be decided by the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes) and entitled to vote on such matter.

2.12 Record Date for Stockholder Meetings and Other Purposes. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than 60 days nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting. If the Board so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the close of business on the next day preceding the day

Annex C-8

Table of Contents

on which notice is first given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting; and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance herewith at the adjourned meeting.

In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment or any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of capital stock, or for the purposes of any other lawful action, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

2.13 Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, including authorizing the proxy to receive, or to waive, notice of any stockholders meetings within the effective period of such proxy. Each stockholder may appoint a proxy to vote or otherwise act for the stockholder by signing an appointment form, either personally or by the stockholder’s attorney-in-fact or by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of an electronic submission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy, a proxy solicitation firm or a proxy support service organization or similar agency authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive the electronic submission; provided that such electronic submission either contains or is accompanied by information from which it can be determined that the electronic submission was transmitted or authorized by the stockholder. No such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of a writing or electronic submission authorized by this Section 2.13 may be used instead of the original writing or electronic submission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or electronic submission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete copy of the entire original writing or electronic submission. An appointment of a proxy is effective when received by the Secretary or other officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes. The proxy’s authority may be limited to a particular meeting or may be general and authorize the proxy to represent the stockholder at any meeting of stockholders held within the time provided in the appointment form. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL. A stockholder may revoke any proxy that is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by delivering to the Secretary a revocation of the proxy or a new proxy bearing a later date. The presence of a stockholder who has filed a proxy at a meeting shall not of itself constitute a revocation of such proxy. Any stockholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders must use a proxy card color other than white, which shall be reserved for the exclusive use by the Board.

2.14 List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote. The Corporation shall prepare, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (provided, however, that if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than 10 days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The Corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the Corporation’s principal executive office. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. Such list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them. Except as otherwise provided by law, the stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list of stockholders required by this Section 2.14 or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

Annex C-9

Table of Contents

2.15 Inspectors of Election. Before any meeting of stockholders, the Corporation shall appoint an inspector or inspectors of election to act at the meeting or its adjournment and make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If any person appointed as inspector or any alternate fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, then the person presiding over the meeting shall appoint a person to fill that vacancy.

Such inspectors shall:

(i) determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the number of shares represented at the meeting and the validity of any proxies and ballots;

(ii) count all votes or ballots;

(iii) count and tabulate all votes;

(iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspector(s); and

(v) certify its or their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and its or their count of all votes and ballots.

Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of the duties of inspector, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspection with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspector’s ability. Any report or certificate made by the inspectors of election is prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. The inspectors of election may appoint such persons to assist them in performing their duties as they determine.

2.16 Delivery to the Corporation. Whenever this Article II requires one or more persons (including a record or beneficial owner of stock) to deliver a document or information to the Corporation or any officer, employee or agent thereof (including any notice, request, questionnaire, revocation, representation or other document or agreement), such document or information shall be in writing exclusively (and not in an electronic transmission) and shall be delivered exclusively by hand (including, without limitation, overnight courier service) or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and the Corporation shall not be required to accept delivery of any document not in such written form or so delivered. For the avoidance of doubt, the Corporation expressly opts out of Section 116 of the DGCL with respect to the delivery of information and documents to the Corporation required by this Article II.

Article III — Directors

3.1 Powers. Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation or the DGCL, the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board.

3.2 Number of Directors. Subject to the Certificate of Incorporation, the total number of directors constituting the Board shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board. No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director before that director’s term of office expires.

3.3 Election, Qualification and Term of Office of Directors. Except as provided in Section 3.4 of these Bylaws, and subject to the Certificate of Incorporation, each director, including a director elected to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship, shall hold office until the next annual meeting and until such director’s successor is elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation. Directors need not be stockholders. The Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws may prescribe qualifications for directors.

3.4 Resignation and Vacancies. Any director may resign at any time upon notice given in writing or by electronic transmission to the Corporation. The resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein or upon the happening of an event specified therein, and if no time or event is specified, at the time of its receipt. When one or more directors so resigns and the resignation is effective at a future date or upon the happening of an event to occur on a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective, and each director so chosen shall hold office as provided in Section 3.3.

Annex C-10

Table of Contents

Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, vacancies resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of any director, and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors shall be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.

3.5 Place of Meetings; Meetings by Telephone. The Board may hold meetings, both regular and special, either within or outside the State of Delaware.

Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, members of the Board, or any committee designated by the Board, may participate in a meeting of the Board, or any committee, by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting pursuant to this Bylaw shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

3.6 Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board may be held within or outside the State of Delaware and at such time and at such place as which has been designated by the Board and publicized among all directors, either orally or in writing, by telephone, including a voice-messaging system or other system designed to record and communicate messages, facsimile, telegraph or telex, or by electronic mail or other means of electronic transmission. No further notice shall be required for regular meetings of the Board.

3.7 Special Meetings; Notice. Special meetings of the Board for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Chairperson of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Secretary or a majority of the total number of directors constituting the Board.

Notice of the time and place of special meetings shall be:

(i) delivered personally by hand, by courier or by telephone;

(ii) sent by United States first-class mail, postage prepaid;

(iii) sent by facsimile or electronic mail; or

(iv) sent by other means of electronic transmission,

directed to each director at that director’s address, telephone number, facsimile number or electronic mail address, or other address for electronic transmission, as the case may be, as shown on the Corporation’s records.

If the notice is (i) delivered personally by hand, by courier or by telephone, (ii) sent by facsimile or electronic mail, or (iii) sent by other means of electronic transmission, it shall be delivered or sent at least 24 hours before the time of the holding of the meeting. If the notice is sent by U.S. mail, it shall be deposited in the U.S. mail at least four days before the time of the holding of the meeting. The notice need not specify the place of the meeting (if the meeting is to be held at the Corporation’s principal executive office) nor the purpose of the meeting.

3.8 Quorum. At all meetings of the Board, unless otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, a majority of the total number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The vote of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the Board, then the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present.

3.9 Board Action without a Meeting. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board or committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if the action is taken by all members of the Board or such committee. The action must be evidenced by one (1) or more written consents describing the action taken, signed by each Director, and delivered in any manner permitted by Section 116 of the DGCL. After an action is taken, the consent or consents relating thereto shall be filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee in accordance with the DGCL. A consent signed under this Section 3.9 shall have the same effect as a unanimous meeting vote of all members of the Board or committee thereof and may be described as such in any document.

Annex C-11

Table of Contents

3.10 Participation by Conference Telephone. The Board or committee thereof may permit any or all Directors to participate in a regular or special meeting by, or through the use of, any means of communication, such as conference telephone or video conference, by which all Directors participating may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting. A Director participating in a meeting by such means shall be deemed to be present in person at the meeting.

3.11 Fees and Compensation of Directors. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the Board shall have the authority to fix the compensation, including fees and reimbursement of expenses, of directors for services to the Corporation in any capacity.

Article IV — Committees

4.1 Committees of Directors. The Board may designate one or more committees, each committee to consist, of one or more of the directors of the Corporation. The Board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board or in these Bylaws, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers that may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority to (i) approve or adopt, or recommend to the stockholders, any action or matter expressly required by the DGCL to be submitted to stockholders for approval, or (ii) adopt, amend or repeal any Bylaw of the Corporation.

4.2 Meetings and Actions of Committees. Meetings and actions of committees shall be governed by, and held and taken in accordance with, the provisions of:

(ii) Section 3.6 (regular meetings);

(iii) Section 3.7 (special meetings; notice);

(iv) Section 3.9 (board action without a meeting); and

(v) Section 7.14 (waiver of notice),

with such changes in the context of those Bylaws as are necessary to substitute the committee and its members for the Board and its members. However:

(i) the time of regular meetings of committees may be determined as set forth in the charter of the applicable committee;

(ii) special meetings of committees may also be called by resolution of the Board or the chairperson of the applicable committee; and

(iii) the Board may adopt rules for the governance of any committee to override the provisions that would otherwise apply to the committee pursuant to this Section 4.2, provided that such rules do not violate the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or applicable law.

A stock ledger consisting of one or more records in which the names of all of the Corporation’s stockholders of record, the address and number of shares registered in the name of each such stockholder, and all issuances and transfers of stock of the corporation are recorded in accordance with Section 224 of the DGCL shall be administered by or on behalf of the Corporation. Any records administered by or on behalf of the Corporation in the regular course of its business, including its stock ledger, books of account, and minute books, may be kept on, or by means of, or be in the form of, any information storage device, or method, or one or more electronic networks or databases (including one or more distributed electronic networks or databases), provided that the records so kept can be converted into clearly legible paper form within a reasonable time and, with respect to the stock ledger, that the records so kept (i) can be used to prepare the list of stockholders specified in Sections 219 and 220 of the DGCL, (ii) record the information specified in Sections 156, 159, 217(a) and 218 of the DGCL, and (iii) record transfers of stock as governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the State of Delaware.

Article VII — General Matters

7.1 Execution of Corporate Contracts and Instruments. The Board, except as otherwise provided in these Bylaws, may authorize any officer or officers, or agent or agents, to enter into any contract or execute any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the Corporation; such authority may be general or confined to specific instances.

7.2 Stock Certificates. The shares of the Corporation may be issued in book-entry form or represented by certificates. Certificates for the shares of stock, if any, shall be in such form as is consistent with the Certificate of Incorporation and applicable law. Every holder of stock represented by a certificate shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of the Corporation by, any two officers authorized to sign stock certificates

Annex C-13

Table of Contents

representing the number of shares registered in certificate form. The Chairperson or Vice Chairperson of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Treasurer, any Assistant Treasurer, the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Corporation shall be specifically authorized to sign stock certificates. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he or she were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

The Corporation may issue the whole or any part of its shares as partly paid and subject to call for the remainder of the consideration to be paid therefor. Upon the face or back of each stock certificate issued to represent any such partly paid shares, or upon the books and records of the Corporation in the case of uncertificated partly paid shares, the total amount of the consideration to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon shall be stated. Upon the declaration of any dividend on fully paid shares, the Corporation shall declare a dividend upon partly paid shares of the same class, but only upon the basis of the percentage of the consideration actually paid thereon.

7.3 Special Designation of Certificates. If the Corporation is authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, then the powers, the designations, the preferences and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face or on the back of the certificate that the Corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock (or, in the case of uncertificated shares, set forth in a notice provided pursuant to Section 151 of the DGCL); provided, however, that except as otherwise provided in Section 202 of the DGCL, in lieu of the foregoing requirements, there may be set forth on the face of back of the certificate that the Corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock (or, in the case of any uncertificated shares, included in the aforementioned notice) a statement that the Corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, the designations, the preferences and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.

7.4 Lost Certificates. Except as provided in this Section 7.4, no new certificates for shares shall be issued to replace a previously issued certificate unless the latter is surrendered to the Corporation and cancelled at the same time. The Corporation may issue a new certificate of stock or uncertificated shares in the place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the Corporation may require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or such owner’s legal representative, to give the Corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares.

7.5 Shares Without Certificates. The Corporation may adopt a system of issuance, recordation and transfer of its shares of stock by electronic or other means not involving the issuance of certificates, provided the use of such system by the Corporation is permitted in accordance with applicable law.

7.6 Construction; Definitions. Unless the context requires otherwise, the general provisions, rules of construction and definitions in the DGCL shall govern the construction of these Bylaws. Without limiting the generality of this provision, the singular number includes the plural and the plural number includes the singular.

7.7 Dividends. The Board, subject to any restrictions contained in either (i) the DGCL or (ii) the Certificate of Incorporation, may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of its capital stock. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property or in shares of the Corporation’s capital stock.

The Board may set apart out of any of the funds of the Corporation available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose and may abolish any such reserve. Such purposes shall include but not be limited to equalizing dividends, repairing or maintaining any property of the Corporation, and meeting contingencies.

7.8 Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the Board and may be changed by the Board.

7.9 Seal. The Corporation may adopt a corporate seal, which shall be adopted and which may be altered by the Board. The Corporation may use the corporate seal by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or in any other manner reproduced.

Annex C-14

Table of Contents

7.10 Transfer of Stock. Transfer of shares of the Corporation shall be made on the books of the Corporation by the holder of record thereof, or by the stockholder’s attorney thereunto duly authorized in writing and filed with the Secretary of the Corporation or any of its transfer agents, and on surrender of the certificate or certificates (if any) representing such shares, with such evidence of the authenticity of such endorsement or execution, transfer, authorization and other matters as the Corporation may reasonably require, and accompanied by all necessary stock transfer stamps. No transfer of stock shall be valid as against the Corporation for any purpose until it shall have been entered in the stock records of the Corporation by an entry showing the names of the persons from and to whom it was transferred.

7.11 Stock Transfer Agreements. The Corporation shall have power to enter into and perform any agreement with any number of stockholders of any one or more classes or series of stock of the Corporation to restrict the transfer of shares of stock of the Corporation of any one or more classes owned by such stockholders in any manner not prohibited by the DGCL or other applicable law.

7.12 Registered Stockholders. The Corporation:

(i) shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends and to vote as such owner; and

(ii) shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of another person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Delaware.

7.13 Transfer Agents and Registrars. The Corporation and its transfer agents and registrars, shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares as the holder in fact and absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and accordingly shall not be bound to recognize any legal, equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person whether or not it or they shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided by the statutes of the State of Delaware.

7.14 Waiver of Notice. Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a written waiver, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

Article VIII — Notice

8.1 Delivery of Notice; Notice by Electronic Transmission. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws may be given in writing directed to the stockholder’s mailing address (or by electronic transmission directed to the stockholder’s electronic mail address, as applicable) as it appears on the records of the Corporation and shall be given (i) if mailed, when the notice is deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, (ii) if delivered by courier service, the earlier of when the notice is received or left at such stockholder’s address or (iii) if given by electronic mail, when directed to such stockholder’s electronic mail address unless the stockholder has notified the Corporation in writing or by electronic transmission of an objection to receiving notice by electronic mail. A notice by electronic mail must include a prominent legend that the communication is an important notice regarding the Corporation.

Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice or electronic transmission to the Corporation. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, the Corporation may give a notice by electronic mail in accordance with the first paragraph of this section without obtaining the consent required by this paragraph.

Annex C-15

Table of Contents

Any notice given pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall be deemed given:

(a) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice;

(b) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (1) such posting and (2) the giving of such separate notice; and

(c) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a notice may not be given by an electronic transmission from and after the time that (A) the Corporation is unable to deliver by such electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation and (B) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, the inadvertent failure to discover such inability shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

Article IX — Indemnification

9.1 Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or an officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent, or trustee of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee, agent, or trustee or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee, agent, or trustee, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability, and loss (including attorneys’ fees and expenses, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 9.03 with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses or with respect to any compulsory counterclaim brought by such indemnitee, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

9.2 Right to Advancement of Expenses. In addition to the right to indemnification conferred in Section 9.1, an indemnitee shall also have the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses (including attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred in defending or participating as a witness in any proceeding to such indemnitee in advance of its final disposition or in connection with a proceeding brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article (which shall be governed by Section 9.3) (any such payment, an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in such indemnitee’s capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including service to an employee benefit plan) shall, subject to applicable provisions of the DGCL, be made solely upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (a “final adjudication”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified or entitled to advancement of expenses under Sections 9.1 and 9.2 or otherwise.

9.3 Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If an indemnitee’s claim under Section 9.1 or 9.2 is not paid in full by the Corporation within (i) sixty (60) days after a written claim for indemnification has been received by the Corporation or (ii) twenty (20) days after a written claim for advancement of expenses has been received by the Corporation, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim or to obtain advancement of expenses, as applicable. To the fullest extent permitted by law, if successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such

Annex C-16

Table of Contents

suit. In (a) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification under this Article (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses), it shall be a defense that, and (b) any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in Delaware law or these Bylaws. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses under this Article or by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified or to such advancement of expenses, as the case may be, under this Article or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

9.4 Indemnification Not Exclusive. The provision of indemnification to or the advancement of expenses and costs to any indemnitee under this Article, or the entitlement of any indemnitee to indemnification or advancement of expenses and costs under this Article, shall not limit or restrict in any way the power of the Corporation to indemnify or advance expenses and costs to such indemnitee in any other way permitted by law or be deemed exclusive of, or invalidate, any right to which any indemnitee seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses and costs may be entitled under any law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in such indemnitee’s capacity as an officer, director, employee, or agent of the Corporation and as to action in any other capacity.

9.5 Nature of Rights. The rights conferred upon indemnitees in this Article shall be contract rights, and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, or trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors, and administrators. Any amendment, alteration, or repeal of this Article that adversely affects any right of any indemnitee or any of its successors shall be prospective only and shall not limit, eliminate, or impair any such right with respect to any proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment or repeal.

Article X — Amendments

The Board is expressly authorized to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors then in office. The stockholders of the Corporation shall also have power to adopt, by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote on such adoption, amendment or repeal, voting together as a single class; provided, however, that no Bylaws hereafter adopted by the stockholders of the Corporation shall invalidate any prior act of the Board that would have been valid if such Bylaws had not been adopted.

Article XI — Definitions

As used in these Bylaws, unless the context otherwise requires, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

An “electronic transmission” means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, including the use of, or participation in, one or more electronic networks or databases (including one or more distributed electronic networks or databases), that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process.

An “electronic mail” means an electronic transmission directed to a unique electronic mail address (which electronic mail shall be deemed to include any files attached thereto and any information hyperlinked to a website if such electronic mail includes the contact information of an officer or agent of the Corporation who is available to assist with accessing such files and information).

Annex C-17

Table of Contents

An “electronic mail address” means a destination, commonly expressed as a string of characters, consisting of a unique user name or mailbox (commonly referred to as the “local part” of the address) and a reference to an internet domain (commonly referred to as the “domain part” of the address), whether or not displayed, to which electronic mail can be sent or delivered.

The term “person” means any individual, general partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company, corporation, trust, business trust, joint stock company, joint venture, unincorporated association, cooperative or association or any other legal entity or organization of whatever nature, and shall include any successor (by merger or otherwise) of such entity.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement for expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act.

IAC’s Amended and Restated Charter provides for indemnification of its directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, and IAC’s bylaws provide for indemnification of its directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

In addition, effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, as defined in Part I of this registration statement, IAC has entered or will enter into indemnification agreements with directors, officers, and some employees containing provisions which are in some respects broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law. The indemnification agreements will require IAC, among other things, to indemnify its directors against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.

(1)    To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)     To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii)    To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

(iii)   To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2)    That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)    To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4)    That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(5)    That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(6)    That prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

(7)    That every prospectus: (i) that is filed pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(b)    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the undersigned pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the undersigned has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the undersigned of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the undersigned in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the undersigned will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(c)     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

(d)    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
