Item 3.Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

The aggregate purchase price for the Ordinary Shares currently beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons was $3,025,000. The source of these funds was the working capital of Cantor.

 

Item 4.Purpose of the Transaction

 

In November 2020, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 14,375,000 Class B Ordinary Shares of the Issuer for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. On June 8, 2023 and February 21, 2024, the Sponsor surrendered, for no consideration, 7,906,250 and 3,593,750 Class B Ordinary Shares, respectively, which the Issuer cancelled, resulting in the Sponsor owning 2,875,000 Class B Ordinary Shares (up to 375,000 of which were subject to forfeiture by if the underwriters’ over-allotment option in connection with the Issuer’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) was not exercised in full). On August 14, 2024, 375,000 Class B Ordinary Shares were surrendered by the Sponsor to the Issuer for no consideration and cancelled because the underwriter notified the Issuer that it would not exercise its over-allotment option.

 

On August 14, 2024, simultaneously with the consummation of the Issuer’s IPO, the Sponsor purchased 300,000 Class A Ordinary Shares of the Issuer (the “Placement Shares”), at $10.00 per Placement Share, pursuant to a Private Placement Shares Purchase Agreement, dated August 12, 2024, by and between the Issuer and the Sponsor (the “Purchase Agreement”), as more fully described in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Ordinary Shares owned by the Reporting Persons have been acquired for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons may make further acquisitions of the Ordinary Shares from time to time and, subject to certain restrictions, may dispose of any or all of the Ordinary Shares held by the Reporting Persons at any time depending on an ongoing evaluation of the investment in such Ordinary Shares, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities and other factors. However, such Ordinary Shares are subject to certain lock-up restrictions as further described in Item 6 below.

 

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, the Sponsor has committed to provide $1,750,000 to the Issuer to fund the Issuer’s expenses relating to investigating and selecting a target business and other working capital requirements prior to the Issuer’s initial business combination.

 

The Issuer also issued to the Sponsor a promissory note in the amount of up to $1,500,000, as more fully described in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Except for the foregoing, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) and (c) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

With respect to paragraph (b) of Item 4, the Issuer is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Under various agreements between the Issuer and the Reporting Persons as further described in Item 6 below, the Sponsor and Mr. Lutnick have agreed (A) to vote their shares in favor of any proposed initial business combination (except that any public shares such parties may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) would not be voted in favor of approving the business combination transaction) and (B) not to redeem any shares in connection with a shareholder vote (or tender offer) to approve (or in connection with) a proposed initial business combination. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position, change their purpose or formulate plans or proposals with respect to the Issuer.

Item 6.Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

 

Private Placement Shares Purchase Agreement between the Issuer and Sponsor

 

On August 14, 2024, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased 300,000 Placement Shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Placement Shares are subject to a lock up provision in the Purchase Agreement, which provides that such Placement Shares shall not be transferable, saleable or assignable until 30 days after the consummation of the Issuer’s initial business combination, subject to certain limited exceptions as described in the Insider Letter (as defined below).

 

The description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.5 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on August 14, 2024 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.1). 

 

Insider Letter

 

On August 12, 2024, in connection with the IPO, the Issuer, the Sponsor and certain other parties thereto entered into a letter agreement (the “Insider Letter”). Pursuant to the Insider Letter, the Sponsor agreed (A) to vote its Class B Ordinary Shares and Placement Shares in favor of any proposed business combination (except that any public shares such parties may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act would not be voted in favor of approving the business combination transaction), (B) not to propose an amendment to the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association that would modify the substance or delay the timing of the Issuer’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Issuer’s initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares sold in the IPO, if the Issuer does not consummate a business combination within 24 months (or (i) such earlier period approved by the board of directors of the Issuer or (ii) such later period approved by the Issuer’s shareholders) from the completion of the IPO, unless the Issuer provides the holders of public shares with the opportunity to redeem such shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Issuer’s trust account set up in connection with the IPO (the “Trust Account”), (C) not to redeem any Class B Ordinary Shares and Placement Shares into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection with a shareholder vote to approve the Issuer’s proposed initial business combination, and (D) that the Class B Ordinary Shares and Placement Shares shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a business combination is not consummated. The Sponsor also agreed that in the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account, it will indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer against any and all loss, liability, claims, damage and expense whatsoever which the Issuer may become subject to as a result of any claim by any vendor or other person who is owed money by the Issuer for services rendered or products sold to or contracted for the Issuer, or by any target business with which the Issuer has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, but only to the extent necessary to ensure that such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense does not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account; provided that such indemnity shall not apply if such vendor or prospective target business executes an agreement waiving any claims against the Trust Account.

 

The description of the Insider Letter is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on August 14, 2024 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.2).  

 

Registration Rights Agreement

The summary of such registration rights agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.3 to the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on August 14, 2024 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.3).

The summary of such expense advance agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.4 to the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on August 14, 2024 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.4).

 

As contemplated by the Expense Advance Agreement, on August 14, 2024, the Issuer issued a promissory note to the Sponsor. The principal of the note is $1,750,000 and the note is interest free. The note is payable upon the Issuer’s initial business combination. The summary of such promissory note contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.6 to the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on August 14, 2024 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.5).

 

Sponsor Loan

 

On August 14, 2024, in connection with the IPO, the Issuer issued to the Sponsor a promissory note in the amount of up to $1,500,000.

Upon consummation of the Issuer initial business combination, the outstanding amounts under the promissory note will be repaid by the Issuer.
