| Level 1 — | Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment. | |
| Level 2 — | Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means. | |
| Level 3 — | Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. | |

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
References to the “Company,” “our,” “us” or “we” refer to Forbion European Acquisition Corp. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on August 9, 2021. We were incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”).
Our sponsor is Forbion Growth Sponsor FEAC I B.V., a Dutch private limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for our IPO was declared effective on December 9, 2021. On December 14, 2021, we commenced the IPO of 11,000,000 units (or 12,650,000 units if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) at $10.00 per unit (the “Units”), which is discussed in Note 3. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”). Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. On December 15, 2021, the underwriters exercised their full over-allotment option and purchased the additional Units available to them. The aggregate Units sold in the IPO and subsequent over-allotment were 12,650,000 and generated gross proceeds of $126,500,000.
Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, we consummated the private placement of 4,700,000 warrants (or 5,195,000 warrants when the underwriters’ over-allotment option was fully exercised on December 15, 2021) (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to the Sponsor, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement. The sale of the Private Placement Warrants in connection with the IPO and subsequent over-allotment option exercise generated gross proceeds of $7,792,500.
Our transaction costs related to the IPO amounted to $5,793,160 consisting of $1,800,000 of underwriting commissions, $3,150,000 of deferred underwriting commissions, and $843,160 of other offering costs. The underwriters’ exercise of their full over-allotment option generated an additional $907,500 in transaction costs for aggregate transaction costs of $6,700,660 consisting of $2,130,000 of underwriting commissions, $3,727,500 of deferred underwriting commissions and $843,160 of other offering costs. In addition, $1,641,236 of cash was held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) and is available for working capital purposes.
On December 15, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option and purchased an additional 1,650,000 Units for additional gross proceeds of $16,500,000. Simultaneously with the exercise of the over-allotment option, the Sponsor purchased an additional 495,000 Private Placement Warrants for additional gross proceeds of $742,500, which were deposited into the Trust Account.
23
The underwriters’ exercise of their full over-allotment option generated an additional $907,500 in transaction costs for aggregate transaction costs of $6,700,660 consisting of $2,130,000 of underwriting commissions, $3,727,500 of deferred underwriting commissions and $843,160 of other offering costs.
Following the closing of the exercise of the underwriters’ full over-allotment option, an additional $16,170,000 was placed in the Trust Account for aggregate proceeds in the Trust Account of $129,662,500 ($10.25 per Unit). As a result of the underwriters’ over-allotment option exercise, 412,500 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
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.
We 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 (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of signing a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. However, we will complete the initial Business Combination only if the post-Business Combination company in which its public shareholders own shares will own or acquire 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or is otherwise not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that we will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.
Following the closing of the IPO on December 14, 2021, $113,492,500 from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was deposited into a trust account (the “Trust Account”). This amount was comprised of $10.25 per Unit for the 11,000,000 Units sold in the IPO in addition to a $742,500 Deposit in Advance from the Sponsor related to the underwriters’ exercise of the full over-allotment option which took place the following day on December 15, 2021. Following the closing of the IPO and the exercise of the underwriters’ full over-allotment option, $129,662,500 ($10.25 per Unit) was held in the Trust Account and will only be invested in United States “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. Pursuant to the trust agreement, the trustee is not permitted to invest in other securities or assets. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to us to pay its income taxes, if any, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as discussed below and subject to the requirements of law and regulation, will provide that the proceeds from the Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will not be released from the Trust Account (1) to us, until the completion of the initial Business Combination, or (2) to our public shareholders, until the earliest of (a) the completion of the initial Business Combination, and then only in connection with those Class A ordinary shares that such shareholders properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described herein, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of the Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if we do not complete the initial Business Combination within Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Class A ordinary shares, and (c) the redemption of the public shares if we have not consummated our Business Combination within Combination Period, subject to applicable law. Public shareholders who redeem their Class A ordinary shares in connection with a shareholder vote described in clause (b) in the preceding sentence shall not be entitled to funds from the Trust Account upon the subsequent completion of an initial Business Combination or liquidation if we have not consummated an initial Business Combination within Combination Period, with respect to such Class A ordinary shares so redeemed. The funds held in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of our creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of our public shareholders. As it is expected that we are and will continuously be considered a Dutch tax resident, any redemption proceeds (including interest income on the trust account) distributed to our shareholders in excess of the paid-up capital for Dutch tax purposes may be subject to 15% Dutch dividend withholding tax.
24
We will provide holders (the “Public Shareholders”) of our Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001, sold in the IPO (the “Public Shares”), with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether we will seek shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would require us to seek shareholder approval under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement.
We will provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Class A ordinary shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination, regardless of whether such shareholder votes on such proposed Business Combination, and if they do vote, regardless of whether they vote for or against such proposed Business Combination, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our income taxes, if any, divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The amount in the Trust Account is initially anticipated to be $10.25 per public share.
The per share amount that we will distribute to investors who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions we will pay to the underwriters. The redemption rights will include the requirement that a beneficial holder must identify itself in order to validly redeem its shares. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of the initial Business Combination with respect to our warrants. Further, we will not proceed with redeeming the public shares, even if a public shareholder has properly elected to redeem its shares if a Business Combination does not close.
Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that we will have only 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering (or up to 24 months from the closing of the IPO if we extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination, subject to the Sponsor depositing additional funds in the Trust Account) (the “Combination Period”) to consummate our initial Business Combination. On June 6, 2023, the Company extended the period of time to consummate a Business Combination from June 14, 2023 to September 14, 2023 by having the Sponsor deposit an additional $1,265,000, or $0.10 per unit, into the Trust Account, in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the Investment Management Trust Agreement by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, dated as of December 9, 2021. If we have not consummated an initial Business Combination within Combination Period, 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 and not previously released to us to pay our income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and its board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to consummate an initial Business Combination within Combination Period.
The Sponsor and each member of its management team have entered into an agreement with Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares (ii) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and public shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of the Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if we do not complete the initial Business Combination within Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Class A ordinary shares and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares they hold if we fail to consummate an initial Business Combination within Combination Period (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if we fail to complete the initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame).
Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that the Company will have until 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering to complete a Business Combination. However, if we anticipate that we may not be able to consummate a Business Combination within 18 months, we may extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination by up to two additional three-month periods (for a total of 24 months to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). In order to extend the time available for us to consummate a Business Combination, the Sponsor or its affiliate or designees must deposit into the Trust Account, for each additional three-month period, $1,265,000 ($0.10 per Public Share in either case), on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline. On June 6, 2023, the Company extended the period of time to consummate a Business Combination from June 14, 2023 to September 14, 2023 by having the Sponsor deposit an additional $1,265,000, or $0.10 per unit, into the Trust Account, in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the Investment Management Trust Agreement by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, dated as of December 9, 2021.

Our Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than our independent auditors) for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (1) $10.25 per public share or (2) such lesser amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriter of the Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. We have not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of us and, therefore, the Sponsor may not be able to satisfy those obligations. We have not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such obligations.

See Note 6 for further information relating to the Business Combination, the Business Combination Agreement, the enGene Voting Agreement, the enGene Lock-Up Agreement and the FEAC Voting Agreement as well as the other agreements entered into in connection with the Business Combination.
Business Combination Deadline Extension and Extension Loan Note
On June 6, 2023, the Company extended the time available to consummate its Business Combination from June 14, 2023 to September 14, 2023 by having the Sponsor deposit an additional $1,265,000, or $0.10 per unit, into the Trust Account (the “Extension Funding”), in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Investment Management Trust Agreement by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, dated as of December 9, 2021 (the “First Business Combination Deadline Extension”).
In connection with the Extension Funding, on June 6, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Extension Note”) in the total principal amount of $1,265,000 to the Sponsor. The Sponsor funded the principal amount of $1,265,000 under the Extension Note by depositing such amount into the Trust Account on June 6, 2023.
The Extension Note bears no interest and shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, the Extension Note will be repaid only from amounts remaining outside of the Trust Account, if any.
Concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination, the Sponsor will have the option, but not the obligation, to convert up to $600,000 total principal amount of the Extension Note, in whole or in part, into additional warrants of the Company at a price of $1.50 per warrant, each warrant exercisable for one Class A ordinary share, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Company. The warrants will be identical to the private placement warrants issued by the Company to the Sponsor at the time of the Company’s IPO. A failure to pay the principal outstanding amount of the Extension Note within five business days following the date when due or the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy action of the Company shall be deemed an event of default, in which case the Sponsor may declare the Extension Note due and payable immediately.
Newco Registration Statement
On August 9, 2023, Newco filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the contemplated Business Combination with the Company and enGene.
Results of Operations
As of June 30, 2023, we had not commenced any operations. All activity through June 30, 2023 relates to our formation, IPO and identifying a business combination target. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. We will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the IPO. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we had a net loss of $2,708,385, which consisted of operating costs of $4,283,705, partly offset by interest income of $1,575,320.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had a net loss of $3,060,575, which consisted of operating costs of $6,050,505, partly offset by interest income of $2,989,930.
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net loss of $258,281, which consisted of operating costs of $371,332 and interest income of $113,051.
27
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net loss of $661,813, which consisted of operating costs of $816,351, partly offset by interest income of $154,538.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
At June 30, 2023, we had $269,138 in our operating bank account and working capital deficit of approximately $7,697,116. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide our Working Capital Loans, as defined in Note 5. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was $1,200,000 and $0 outstanding under the Working Capital Loans, respectively.
In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern”, management has determined that we have and will continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our initial Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our initial Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Accounts. In addition, following our initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
28
Further, management has determined that if we are unable to complete a Business Combination by September 14, 2023, as extended by the Company on June 6, 2023 (the “Combination Period”), then we will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. However, we may, by resolution of our board of directors if requested by our sponsor, further extend the Combination Period one more time by an additional three months (for a total of up to 24 months from the date of our IPO to complete a Business Combination), subject to the sponsor depositing additional funds into the trust account as further described herein. The date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution as well as our liquidity condition raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after the Combination Period. We intend to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date.
Risks and Uncertainties and Factors That May Adversely Affect our Results of Operations
Management is currently evaluating the impact of the current global economic uncertainty, the COVID-19 pandemic, rising interest rates, rising inflation, increases in energy prices, supply chain disruptions and the Russia-Ukraine armed conflict (including the impact of any sanctions imposed in response thereto) and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that any of these could have a negative effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination.
Related Party Transactions
Founder Shares
On August 12, 2021, Forbion European Sponsor LLP paid $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share, to cover certain offering costs in consideration for 2,875,000 Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”), par value $0.0001. On November 23, 2021, Forbion European Sponsor LLP transferred 2,875,000 Class B ordinary shares to the Sponsor in exchange for $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share. On December 9, 2021, we issued 287,500 Class B ordinary shares to the Sponsor resulting from a 1.1 for 1 share dividend. Up to 412,500 Founder Shares are subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised. Prior to the Business Combination, only holders of Class B ordinary shares will be able to vote on the appointment of directors and to continue us in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands. On December 15, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment and as a result, 412,500 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
Working Capital Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan our funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If we complete the initial Business Combination, we may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans may be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. 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 the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $1,200,000 and $0 borrowings under the Working Capital Loans, respectively.
Related Party Extension Loans
We may extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination by up to two additional three-month periods (for a total of 24 months to complete a Business Combination). In order to extend the time available for us to consummate a Business Combination, the Sponsor or its affiliates or designees must deposit into the trust account, for each additional three-month period, $1,265,000, ($0.10 per Public Share in either case), on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline (the “Extension Funding”). Any such payments would be made in the form of a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note. Such notes would either be paid upon consummation of a Business Combination, or, at the relevant insider’s discretion, converted upon consummation of a Business Combination into additional Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant. The Sponsor and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the trust account to extend the time for us to complete a Business Combination.
In connection with the Extension Funding, the Sponsor funded the principal amount of $1,265,000 by depositing such amount into the Trust Account on June 6, 2023 and extended the period of time to consummate a Business Combination from June 14, 2023 to September 14, 2023, in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Investment Management Trust Agreement by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, dated as of December 9, 2021. On June 6, 2023 the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Extension Note”) in the total principal amount of $1,265,000 to the Sponsor. The Extension Note bears no interest and shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, the Extension Note will be repaid only from amounts remaining outside of the Trust Account, if any. Up to $600,000 of the total principal amount under such Extension Note can be converted, at the Sponsor’s discretion, in whole or in part, into additional warrants of the Company at a price of $1.50 per warrant, each warrant exercisable for one Class A ordinary share, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Company. The warrants will be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

Office Space, Secretarial and Administrative Services
Commencing on the date that our securities are first listed on the NASDAQ through the earlier of consummation of the initial Business Combination and the liquidation, we agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support and to reimburse the Sponsor for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and completing an initial Business Combination. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company expensed $30,000 and $60,000 in administrative support services, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we expensed $30,000 and $60,000, respectively, in administrative support services. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had accrued $30,000 and $30,000, respectively, in administrative fees payable to the Sponsor which are included in due to related party on the condensed balance sheets.
Additionally, the Sponsor has agreed to pay an annual salary of $25,000 to each of the independent Board Members for services rendered prior to or in connection with the completion of the Business Combination. Board members are entitled to reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing the Business Combination as well. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company expensed $18,699 and $37,192, respectively, for services rendered by the independent Board Members. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we expensed $18,699 and $37,192, respectively, for services rendered by the independent Board Members. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had accrued approximately $18,699 and $18,904, respectively, in compensation expense to the independent board members which are included in due to related party on the condensed balance sheets.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or long-term liabilities other than the deferred commission fees, legal fees and related party payables of $3,727,500, $3,884,759 and $48,699, respectively, payable upon the consummation of a business combination.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the condensed 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the 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. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies and estimates.
Ordinary Shares Subject to Redemption
We account for our ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Our Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, 12,650,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of our balance sheets.
We recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of Class A ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.
Net Loss Per Ordinary Share
We comply with the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding ordinary shares subject to forfeiture. At June 30, 2023, we did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of us. As a result, diluted loss per ordinary share is the same as basic loss per ordinary share for the periods presented.
30
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU Topic 2020-06, “Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current US GAAP. ASU 2020-06 also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for scope exception, and it simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. We adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have an impact on our unaudited condensed financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2023, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15€ and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
In conjunction with the audit of our financial statements we have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on March 30, 2023. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim condensed financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness identified principally relates to (i) an inadvertent discrepancy between the description of our private placement warrants in the notes to our financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-K”) and our Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q for the three month periods ended September 30, 2021, March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 (the “Forms 10-Q”) and in the underlying warrant agreement, and (ii) the inadvertent omission of the signatures of our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer in our Forms 10-Q. This material weakness did not result in a material misstatement to our financial statements included herein, in the Form 10-K or in the Forms 10-Q.
While we already have processes in place to ensure that our periodic reports satisfy the applicable reporting and compliance requirements, we will continue to enhance and invest in accounting resources and processes necessary to comply with the reporting and compliance requirements of a public company and include a greater level of supervision needed in relation to our disclosure controls and procedures.
Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the SEC for newly public companies.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
31
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
There is no material litigation, arbitration or governmental proceeding currently pending against us or any members of our management team in their capacity as such.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this report include the risk factors described in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2023. As of the date of this report, other than as described herein, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2023.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Unregistered Sales
On August 12, 2021, Forbion European Sponsor LLP paid $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share, in consideration for 2,875,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001. On November 23, 2021, Forbion European Sponsor LLP transferred 2,875,000 Class B ordinary shares to the sponsor in exchange for $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share. On December 9, 2021, we issued an additional 287,500 Class B ordinary shares to our Sponsor resulting from a 1.1 for 1 share dividend. As a result, our Sponsor now owns 3,162,500 founder shares. Our founder shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares, on a one-for-one basis, upon the completion of a business combination. The number of founder shares issued was determined based on the expectation that the founder shares would represent 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares upon completion of our IPO. Such securities were issued in connection with our organization pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
The founder shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares (which such Class A ordinary shares delivered upon conversion will not have any redemption rights or be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account if we fail to consummate an initial business combination) at the time of our initial business combination or earlier at the option of the holders thereof at a ratio such that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all founder shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of (i) the total number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon completion of our IPO, plus (ii) the total number of Class A ordinary shares issued or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by us in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial business combination, excluding any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, deemed issued, or to be issued, or forward purchase shares, to any seller in the initial business combination and any private placement warrants issued to our sponsor, any of its affiliates or any members of our management team upon conversion of working capital loans and extension loans. In no event will the Class B ordinary shares convert into Class A ordinary shares at a rate of less than one-to-one. This is different than some other similarly structured blank check companies in which the initial shareholders will only be issued an aggregate of 20% of the total number of shares to be outstanding prior to the initial business combination.
32
Simultaneously with the consummation of our IPO and full exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters, we consummated the private placement of 5,195,000 warrants in the aggregate to the sponsor, at a price of $1.50 per private placement warrant. The sale of the private placement warrants in connection with our IPO and subsequent over-allotment option exercise generated gross proceeds of $7,792,500. Each private placement warrant is exercisable for one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share.
The proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants were added to the net proceeds from the initial public offering held in the trust account. If we do not complete a business combination within 18 months from the closing of our initial public offering (or up to 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination, subject to our sponsor depositing additional funds in the trust account, as described in more detail herein under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”), the private placement warrants will expire worthless. The private placement warrants are non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis. The sale of the private placement warrants was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
Use of Proceeds
On December 14, 2021, we completed our IPO of 11,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $110,000,000. On December 15, 2021, the underwriters exercised their full over-allotment option and purchased the additional units available to them. The aggregate amount of units sold in our IPO and subsequent exercise of the over-allotment option was 12,650,000 and generated gross proceeds of $126,500,000.
Simultaneously with the consummation of our IPO and full exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters, we consummated the private placement of 5,195,000 warrants in the aggregate (the “private placement warrants”) to the sponsor, at a price of $1.50 per private placement warrant. The sale of the private placement warrants in connection with our IPO and subsequent over-allotment option exercise generated gross proceeds of $7,792,500.
Following the closing of our IPO on December 14, 2021, $113,492,500 from the net proceeds of the sale of the units in our IPO and the sale of the private placement warrants was deposited into a U.S.-based trust account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee (the “trust account”). This amount was comprised of $10.25 per unit for the 11,000,000 units sold in our IPO in addition to a $742,500 deposit in advance from the sponsor related to the underwriters’ exercise of the full over-allotment option which took place the following day on December 15, 2021. Following the closing of our IPO and the exercise of the underwriters’ full over-allotment option, $129,662,500 ($10.25 per unit) was held in the trust account.
Transaction costs related to our IPO amounted to $5,793,160 consisting of $1,800,000 of underwriting commissions, $3,150,000 of deferred underwriting commissions, and $843,160 of other offering costs. The underwriters’ exercise of their full over-allotment option generated an additional $907,500 in transaction costs for aggregate transaction costs of $6,700,660 consisting of $2,130,000 of underwriting commissions, $3,727,500 of deferred underwriting commissions and $843,160 of other offering costs. In addition, $1,641,236 of cash was held outside of the trust account (as defined below) and is available for working capital purposes.
There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from such use as described in our IPO prospectus.

| Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
| Organization, Business Operation and Going Concern | Note 1 — Organization, Business Operation, Going Concern and Liquidity Forbion European Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on August 9, 2021. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”). As of June 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through June 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (the “IPO” or “Public Offering”) which is described below, and the Company’s completion of 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 will generate non-operating income the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Public Offering. The Company’s Sponsor is Forbion Growth Sponsor FEAC I B.V., a Dutch private limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on December 9, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On December 14, 2021, the Company’s commenced the IPO of 11,000,000 units (or 12,650,000 units if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) at $10.00 per unit (the “Units”), which is discussed in Note 3. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”). Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. On December 15, 2021, the underwriters exercised their full over-allotment option and purchased the additional Units available to them. The aggregate Units sold in the IPO and subsequent over-allotment were 12,650,000 and generated gross proceeds of $126,500,000. Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement of 4,700,000 warrants (or 5,195,000 warrants when the underwriters’ over-allotment option was fully exercised on December 15, 2021) (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to the Sponsor, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant. The sale of the Private Placement Warrants in connection with the IPO and subsequent over-allotment option exercise generated gross proceeds of $7,792,500. Transaction costs related to the IPO amounted to $5,793,160 consisting of $1,800,000 of underwriting commissions, $3,150,000 of deferred underwriting commissions, and $843,160 of other offering costs. The underwriters’ exercise of their full over-allotment option generated an additional $907,500 in transaction costs for aggregate transaction costs of $6,700,660 consisting of $2,130,000 of underwriting commissions, $3,727,500 of deferred underwriting commissions and $843,160 of other offering costs. In addition, $1,641,236 of cash was held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) and is available for working capital purposes. On December 15, 2021, the underwriter fully exercised the over-allotment option and purchased an additional 1,650,000 Units for additional gross proceeds of $16,500,000. Simultaneously with the exercise of the over-allotment option, the Sponsor purchased an additional 495,000 Private Placement Warrants for additional gross proceeds of $742,500. The underwriters’ exercise of their full over-allotment option generated an additional $907,500 in transaction costs for aggregate transaction costs of $6,700,660 consisting of $2,130,000 of underwriting commissions, $3,727,500 of deferred underwriting commissions and $843,160 of other offering costs. Following the closing of the exercise of the underwriters’ full over-allotment option, an additional $16,170,000 was placed in the Trust Account for aggregate proceeds in the Trust Account of $129,662,500 ($10.25 per Unit). As a result of the underwriters’ over-allotment option exercise, 412,500 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture. The Company’s 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. 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 (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of signing a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will complete the initial Business Combination only if the post-Business Combination company in which its public shareholders own shares will own or acquire 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or is otherwise not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. Following the closing of the IPO on December 14, 2021, $113,492,500 from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was deposited into a trust account (the “Trust Account”). This amount was comprised of $10.25 per Unit for the 11,000,000 Units sold in the IPO in addition to a $742,500 Deposit in Advance from the Sponsor related to the underwriters’ exercise of the full over-allotment option which took place the following day on December 15, 2021. Following the closing of the IPO and the exercise of the underwriters’ full over-allotment option, $129,662,500 ($10.25 per Unit) was held in the Trust Account and will only be invested in United States “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. Pursuant to the trust agreement, the trustee is not permitted to invest in other securities or assets. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its income taxes, if any, the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as discussed below and subject to the requirements of law and regulation, will provide that the proceeds from the Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will not be released from the Trust Account (1) to the Company, until the completion of the initial Business Combination, or (2) to its public shareholders, until the earliest of (a) the completion of the initial Business Combination, and then only in connection with those Class A ordinary shares that such shareholders properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described herein, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of the Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Class A ordinary shares, and (c) the redemption of the public shares if the Company has not consummated the Company’s Business Combination within Combination Period, subject to applicable law. Public shareholders who redeem their Class A ordinary shares in connection with a shareholder vote described in clause (b) in the preceding sentence shall not be entitled to funds from the Trust Account upon the subsequent completion of an initial Business Combination or liquidation if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within Combination Period, with respect to such Class A ordinary shares so redeemed. The funds held in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of its public shareholders. As it is expected that we are and will continuously be considered a Dutch tax resident, any redemption proceeds (including interest income on the trust account) distributed to our shareholders in excess of the paid-up capital for Dutch tax purposes may be subject to 15% Dutch dividend withholding tax. The Company will provide holders (the “Public Shareholders”) of its Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001, sold in the IPO (the “Public Shares”), with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Class A ordinary shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would require the Company to seek shareholder approval under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement. The Company will provide its Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination, regardless of whether such shareholder votes on such proposed Business Combination, and if they do vote, regardless of whether they vote for or against such proposed Business Combination, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its income taxes, if any, divided by the number of then-outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The amount in the Trust Account is initially anticipated to be $10.25 per public share. The per share amount that the Company will distribute to investors who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters. The redemption rights will include the requirement that a beneficial holder must identify itself in order to validly redeem its shares. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of the initial Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. Further, the Company will not proceed with redeeming the Public Shares, even if a Public Shareholder has properly elected to redeem its Public Shares if a Business Combination does not close. The ordinary shares subject to redemption were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Public Offering, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. The Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that the Company will have only 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering (or up to 24 months from the closing of the IPO if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a Business Combination, subject to the Sponsor depositing additional funds in the Trust Account) (the “Combination Period”) to consummate its initial Business Combination. On June 6, 2023, the Company extended the period of time to consummate a Business Combination from June 14, 2023 to September 14, 2023 by having the Sponsor deposit an additional $1,265,000, or $0.10 per unit, into the Trust Account, in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the Investment Management Trust Agreement by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, dated as of December 9, 2021. If the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within Combination Period, the Company will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and its board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to consummate an initial Business Combination within Combination Period. The Sponsor and each member of its management team have entered into an agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and public shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of the Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Class A ordinary shares and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares they hold if the Company fails to consummate an initial Business Combination within 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 prescribed time frame). The Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that the Company will have only until 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering to complete a Business Combination. However, if the Company anticipates that it may not be able to consummate a Business Combination within 18 months, the Company may extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination by up to two additional three-month periods for a total of 24 months to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). In order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate a Business Combination, the Sponsor or its affiliate or designees must deposit into the Trust Account, for each additional three-month period, $1,265,000 ($0.10 per Public Share in either case), on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline. On June 6, 2023, the Company extended the period of time to consummate a Business Combination from June 14, 2023 to September 14, 2023 by having the Sponsor deposit an additional $1,265,000, or $0.10 per unit, into the Trust Account, in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the Investment Management Trust Agreement by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, dated as of December 9, 2021. The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent auditors) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (1) $10.25 per public share or (2) such lesser amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company has not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company and, therefore, the Sponsor may not be able to satisfy those obligations. The Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such obligations. On May 16, 2023, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”) with enGene, Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of Canada (“enGene”) and enGene Holdings Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of Canada (“Newco”), contemplating the proposed business combination among the Company, enGene and Newco (the “Business Combination”). See Note 6 for further information relating to the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination. On August 9, 2023, Newco filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the contemplated Business Combination with the Company and enGene. Liquidity, Capital Resource and Going Concern At June 30, 2023, the Company had $269,138 in its operating bank account and working capital deficit of approximately $7,697,116. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s 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. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was $1,200,000 and $0 outstanding under the Working Capital Loans, respectively. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern”, management has determined that the Company has and will continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Moreover, the Company may need to obtain additional financing either to complete the initial Business Combination or because the Company becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of the Company’s Public Shares upon consummation of the initial Business Combination, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Company would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of the initial Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination because the Company does not have sufficient funds available, the Company will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following the initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, the Company may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet certain obligations. Further, management has determined that if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by September 14, 2023 (or by December 14, 2023 if the Company further extends the period of time to consummate a Business Combination, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors and if requested by the Company’s sponsor subject to the Sponsor depositing additional funds in the Trust Account, as further described herein), then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution as well as the Company’s liquidity condition raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after the Combination Period. Risks and Uncertainties Management is currently evaluating the impact of the current global economic uncertainty, the
COVID-19 pandemic, rising interest rates, rising inflation, increases in energy prices, supply chain disruptions and the Russia-Ukraine armed conflict (including the impact of any sanctions imposed in response thereto) and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that any of these could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact the Company’s business and its ability to complete an initial Business Combination. |

| Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and in accordance with the instructions on Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP. 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. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any future interim periods. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on March 30, 2023. Emerging Growth Company Status 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 auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding 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 a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. Use of Estimates The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheets, primarily due to its short-term nature. The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Cash and Securities Held in Trust Account As of June 30, 2023, investment in the Company’s Trust Account consisted of $1,227 in cash and $135,784,943 in U.S. Treasury Securities. As of December 31, 2022, investment in the Company’s Trust Account consisted of $1,375 in cash and $131,529,959 in U.S. Treasury Securities. All of the U.S. Treasury Securities will mature on September 5, 2023. The Company classified its U.S. Treasury Securities as held-to-maturity Held-to-maturity Held-to-maturity
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 depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts. Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ deficit. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, 12,650,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheets. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of Class A ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit. The Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected on the balance sheets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is reconciled in the following table:
Offering Costs associated with the Initial Public Offering Offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the IPO. The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1. non-redeemable shares they are allocated to. Offering costs associated with warrant liabilities are expensed, and offering costs associated with the Class A ordinary shares are charged to shareholders’ equity. The Company incurred offering costs amounting to $5,793,160 consisting of $1,800,000 of underwriting commissions, $3,150,000 of deferred underwriting commissions, and $843,160 of other offering costs. The underwriters’ exercise of their full over-allotment option generated an additional $907,500 in transaction costs for aggregate transaction costs of $6,700,660 consisting of $2,130,000 of underwriting commissions, $3,727,500 of deferred underwriting commissions and $843,160 of other offering costs. Net Loss Per Share The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The statements of operations include a presentation of loss per Class A ordinary share and loss per Class B ordinary share following the two-class method of income per share. At June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the losses of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the periods presented. The tables below presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted loss per share for each category for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and for 2022:
Income Taxes The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements 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. ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statements 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. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. 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’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months. The Company’s tax provision was zero for all periods presented. Business Combination Costs Costs incurred in relation to a potential Business Combination may include legal, accounting, and other expenses. Any such costs are expensed as incurred. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The guidance was adopted starting January 1, 2022. Adoption of the ASU did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements.

| Initial Public Offering | Note 3 — Initial Public Offering On December 14, 2021, the Company consummated its IPO of 11,000,000 Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit was sold at a price of $10.00 and consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7). On December 15, 2021, the underwriters exercised their full over-allotment option and purchased the additional Units available to them. The aggregate Units sold in the IPO and subsequent over-allotment were 12,650,000 and generated gross proceeds of $126,500,000. Following the closing of the IPO on December 14, 2021, $113,492,500 from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was deposited into a trust account (the “Trust Account”). This amount was comprised of $10.25 per Unit for the 11,000,000 Units sold in the IPO in addition to a $742,500 Deposit in Advance from the Sponsor related to the underwriters’ exercise of the full over-allotment option which took place the following day on December 15, 2021. Following the closing of the IPO and the exercise of the underwriters’ full over-allotment option, $129,662,500 ($10.25 per Unit) was placed in a Trust Account and will be invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule

| Private Placement | Note 4 — Private Placement Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company’s Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 4,700,000 Private Placement Warrants (5,195,000 Private Placement Warrants when the underwriters’ over-allotment option was fully exercised on December 15, 2021), each exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.50 per Unit. The sale of the Private Placement Warrants in connection with the IPO and subsequent over-allotment option exercise generated gross proceeds of $7,792,500. The Private Placement Warrants are not transferable, assignable or salable (and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants are not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination), except as described herein under “Principal Shareholders—Transfers of Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants.” Any amendment to the terms of the Private Placement Warrants or any provision of the warrant agreement with respect to the Private Placement Warrants require a vote of holders of at least 50% of the number of the then outstanding Private Placement Warrants.

| Related Party Transactions | Note 5 — Related Party Transactions Founder Shares On August 12, 2021, Forbion European Sponsor LLP paid $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share, to cover certain offering costs in consideration for 2,875,000 Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”), par value $0.0001. On November 23, 2021, Forbion European Sponsor LLP transferred 2,875,000 Class B ordinary shares to the Sponsor in exchange for $25,000, or approximately $0.009 per share. On December 9, 2021, the Company issued 287,500 Class B ordinary shares to the Sponsor resulting from a 1.1 for 1 share dividend. Up to 412,500 Founder Shares are subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised. Prior to the Business Combination, only holders of Class B ordinary shares will be able to vote on the appointment of directors and to continue the Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands. On December 15, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment and as a result, 412,500 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture. Convertible Note – Related Party In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended 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 the initial Business Combination, the Company may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans may be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close. The Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. The Company has evaluated the accounting treatment of convertible note under ASC 815. The Company has determined that due to the convertible loan meeting the derivative scope exception provided in ASC 815, this note did not require a bifurcation of proceeds. Thus, the proceeds in connection to the convertible note are reported at par on the condensed balance sheets. On March 24, 2023, the Sponsor and the Company entered into an unsecured convertible promissory note (the “Note”) under which the Sponsor agreed to extend to the Company a Working Capital Loan of up to $900,000, to be used for the Company’s general working capital purposes. The Sponsor funded the initial principal amount of $450,000 under the Note on March 24, 2023. On April 26, 2023, the Company made an additional drawdown on the Note for aggregate $450,000. The Note bears no interest and will be due and payable on the earlier of (i) the date of consummation of a Business Combination and (ii) December 14, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company may repay the Note out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, no proceeds from the Trust Account can be used to repay the Note. Concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination, the Sponsor will have the option, but not the obligation, to convert up to the total principal amount of the Note, in whole or in part, into additional warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants will be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $900,000 and $600,000 outstanding under the Note and Extension Note (as defined below), respectively, totaling $1,500,000 in borrowings which are recorded as convertible note – related party on the condensed balance sheets. As of December 31, 2022, there were no borrowings outstanding. Promissory Note – Related Party On June 6, 2023, the Company issued an additional unsecured promissory note (the “Working Capital Note”) in the total principal amount of $300,000 to the Sponsor. The proceeds of the Working Capital Note will be used by the Company for general working capital purposes. The Sponsor funded the principal amount of $300,000 on June 6, 2023. The Working Capital Note bears no interest and shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, the Working Capital Note will be repaid only from amounts remaining outside of the Trust Account, if any. A failure to pay the principal outstanding amount of the Working Capital Note within five business days following the date when due or the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy action of the Company shall be deemed an event of default, in which case the Sponsor may declare the Working Capital Note due and payable immediately. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $ 300,000 and $665,000 outstanding under the Working Capital Note and Extension Note, respectively, totaling $965,000 in borrowings which are recorded as promissory note – related party on the condensed balance sheets. As of December 31, 2022, there were no borrowings outstanding. Extension Note – Related Party The Company may extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination by up to two additional three-month periods (for a total of 24 months to complete a Business Combination). In order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate a Business Combination, the Sponsor or its affiliates or designees must deposit into the Trust Account, for each additional three-month period, $1,265,000, ($0.10 per Public Share in either case), on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline (the “Extension Funding”). Any such payments would be made in the form of a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note. Such note would either be paid upon consummation of a Business Combination or, at the relevant insider’s discretion, converted upon consummation of a Business Combination into additional Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant. The Sponsor and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the Trust Account to extend the time for the Company to complete a Business Combination. In connection with the Extension Funding, the Sponsor funded the principal amount of $1,265,000 by depositing such amount into the Trust Account on June 6, 2023 and extended the period of time to consummate a Business Combination from June 14, 2023 to September 14, 2023, in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Investment Management Trust Agreement by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, dated as of December 9, 2021. On June 6, 2023 the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Extension Note”) in the total principal amount of $1,265,000 to the Sponsor. The Extension Note bears no interest and shall be due and payable on the earlier of (i) the date of consummation of the Business Combination and (ii) the Maturity Date. In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, the Extension Note will be repaid only from amounts remaining outside of the Trust Account, if any. Up to $600,000 of the total principal amount under such Extension Note can be converted, at the Sponsor’s discretion, in whole or in part, into additional warrants of the Company at a price of $1.50 per warrant, each warrant exercisable for one Class A ordinary share, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Company. The warrants will be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. At June 30, 2023, the convertible portion of the Extension Note, or $600,000, has been included in convertible note – related party on the condensed balance sheets. The nonconvertible portion, or $665,000 of the Extension Note, has been included in promissory note – related party on the condensed balance sheets. Office Space, Secretarial and Administrative Services Commencing on the date that the Company’s securities are first listed on the NASDAQ through the earlier of consummation of the initial Business Combination and the liquidation, the Company agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support and to reimburse the Sponsor for any out-of-pocket expenses related Additionally, the Sponsor has agreed to pay an annual salary of $25,000 to each of the independent Board Members for services rendered prior to or in connection with the completion of the Business Combination. Board members are entitled to
reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses related |

In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company’s completion of the initial Business Combination. However, the registration and shareholder rights agreement provide that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period, which occurs (i) in the case of the Founder Shares, as described in the following paragraph, and (ii) in the case of the Private Placement Warrants and the respective Class A ordinary shares underlying such warrants, 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. Except as described herein, the Sponsor and the Company’s directors and executive officers have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell (i) their Founder Shares until the earliest of (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share 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, or (y) the date on which the Company complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of its public shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property, and (ii) any of their Private Placement Warrants and Class A ordinary shares issued upon conversion or exercise thereof until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Sponsor with respect to any Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and Class A ordinary shares issued upon conversion or exercise thereof. The Company refers to such transfer restriction herein as the lock-up. In addition, pursuant to the registration and shareholder rights agreement, the Sponsor, upon and following consummation of an initial Business Combination, will be entitled to nominate three individuals for appointment to the Company’s board of directors, as long as the Sponsor holds any securities covered by the registration and shareholder rights agreement. Prior to the Business Combination, only holders of Class B ordinary shares will be able to vote on the appointment of directors and to continue the Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands. Underwriting Agreement The underwriters had a 45-day option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to an additional 1,650,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On December 15, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option. The underwriters were paid underwriting commission of $0.20 per Unit sold in the IPO, excluding Units sold to Forbion Cooperatief, or $1,800,000, upon the closing of the IPO. Following the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option on December 15, 2021, the underwriters earned an additional $330,000 for an aggregate of $2,130,000 in underwriting commissions related to the IPO and over-allotment. In addition, $3,150,000 is payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions related to the Units sold in the IPO, excluding those Units sold to Forbion Cooperatief. Following the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option on December 15, 2021 , the underwriters earned an additional $577,500 for an aggregate of $3,727,500 in deferred underwriting commissions related to the IPO and over-allotment. The deferred underwriting commission 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. Forward Purchase Agreements The Company has entered into two forward purchase agreements (the “Forward Purchase Agreements”) with the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor has agreed to purchase (1) an aggregate of 1,000,000 Class A ordinary shares for $10.00 per share (the “firm forward purchase shares”), or an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 and (2) in addition, an aggregate of up to 1,000,000 Class A ordinary shares for $10.00 per share (the “additional forward purchase shares”), or an aggregate maximum amount of up to $10,000,000, in each case in a private placement that may close simultaneously with the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination. Deferred Legal Fees The Company has incurred $3,884,759 in deferred legal fees, of which $125,000 are associated with the Company’s Initial Public Offering and are contingent upon the consummation of the Business Combination. Deferred legal fees are included in accrued offering costs and expenses on the Company’s condensed balance sheets. Business Combination Agreement On May 16, 2023, the Company entered into the Business Combination Agreement with enGene and Newco. The Business Combination Agreement contemplates that the proposed Business Combination among the Company, enGene and Newco will be completed through, among others, the following series of transactions:
The transactions described above, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, are hereinafter referred to as the “Transactions”. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company, Newco and enGene, among other parties, entered into the enGene Voting Agreement (the “enGene Voting Agreement”), the enGene Lock-Up Agreement (the “enGene Lock-Up Agreement”), and the FEAC Voting Agreement (the “FEAC Voting Agreement”) pursuant to which certain shareholders of enGene and the Company, respectively, agreed to vote in favor of the Transactions and to certain transfer restrictions in respect of such shareholders’ shares of the Company and of Newco, as applicable. The Business Combination Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and covenants. The Business Combination is expected to close in the second half of 2023, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions were approved by the boards of directors of each of the Company and enGene. Sponsor and Insiders Letter Agreement On May 16, 2023, the Sponsor and Insiders Letter Agreement was entered into between the Company, the Sponsor, Forbion Growth Opportunities Fund I Cooperatief U.A., enGene, Newco and the other parties named therein (collectively, other than enGene and Newco, the “Sponsor Parties”), pursuant to which the Sponsor has agreed to surrender, after giving effect to the conversion of all or part of the principal amount outstanding under loans made by the Sponsor to the Company into Private Placement Warrants, 1,789,004 of Founder Shares and 5,463,381 of Private Placement Warrants, as a contribution to the capital of the Company and for no consideration, effective immediately prior to the Class B Conversion (as defined therein) on the day which is two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date (as defined therein). In addition, the Sponsor Parties agreed to (i) be bound by certain other covenants and agreements related to the Business Combination, (ii) waive the anti-dilution protection with respect to the Founder Shares (whether resulting from the PIPE Financing or otherwise) and (iii) be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to the shares of the Company and the Private Placement Warrants held by it (including the Newco Shares (as defined therein) and Newco Warrants (as defined therein) received in exchange therefore in connection with the Business Combination and the Transactions), in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Sponsor and Insiders Letter Agreement. Transaction Support Agreements Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company, Newco, enGene, the directors of enGene and certain shareholders of enGene (collectively, other than the Company, the “enGene Parties”) entered into voting agreements (the “enGene Voting Agreements”) and lock-up agreements (the “enGene Lock-Up Agreements”) pursuant to which the enGene Parties agreed to, among other things, (i) vote or cause to be voted all of its Company Shares (as defined therein) in favor of the Company Arrangement Resolution (as defined therein) and the Transactions; (ii) be bound by certain other covenants and agreements related to the Business Combination; and (iii) be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to the Company Shares and Newco Shares, as applicable, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the enGene Voting Agreements and the enGene Lock-Up Agreements. In addition, concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, enGene, Newco and the Sponsor Parties entered into a lock-up agreement (the “FEAC Voting Agreement”) pursuant to which the Sponsor Parties agreed to, among other things, (i) vote or cause to be voted all of their shares of the Company (the “FEAC Shares”) in favor of the Transaction Proposals (as defined therein); (ii) be bound by certain other covenants and agreements related to the Business Combination and (iii) be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to the FEAC Shares, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the FEAC Voting Agreement. Subscription Agreements and Side Letter Agreements On May 16, 2023, the Company, Newco and certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”) entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements” and each a “Subscription Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, the PIPE Investors have agreed, subject to the completion of each element of the Transactions (other than those Transactions that are scheduled to be completed following the Closing Date (as defined therein)), to subscribe for and purchase, and the Company has agreed that it will issue and sell to the PIPE Investors (which obligation will be assumed (the “Assumption”) by Newco after the completion of the FEAC Reorganization and prior to the consummation of the PIPE Financing (as defined below)) the number of Class A ordinary shares of the Company (or after the Assumption, Newco Shares) provided for in the applicable Subscription Agreement in exchange for the purchase price of $10.25 per Class A ordinary shares of the Company (or after the Assumption, Newco Share) (as amended by the Side Letter Agreements (as defined below, the “PIPE Financing”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the PIPE Investors have collectively subscribed for 5,550,408 Class A ordinary shares of the Company (or after the Assumption, Newco Shares) for an aggregate purchase price equal to $56,891,682. Immediately following the execution and delivery of the Subscription Agreements, the Company and Newco entered into a side letter with each PIPE Investor (the “Side Letter Agreement” and collectively, the “Side Letter Agreements”) to amend the relevant Subscription Agreement and which, together with the relevant Subscription Agreement, reflects the total number of the Class A ordinary shares of the Company and the warrants of the Company to be issued by the Company (or after the Assumption, the total number of Newco Shares and Newco Warrants to be issued by Newco) pursuant to the PIPE Financing in consideration of the purchase price set forth in the relevant Subscription Agreement. Non-Redemption Agreement On May 16, 2023, Newco, the Company and a shareholder of the Company that is the beneficial owner of 166,665 Class A ordinary shares of the Company entered into a non-redemption agreement (the “Non-Redemption Agreement”), pursuant to which, among others, the Company will issue additional Class A ordinary shares of the Company and warrants of the Company (or after the Assumption, Newco will issue additional Newco Shares and Newco Warrants) to such shareholder of the Company in consideration of such shareholder’s commitment not to redeem its Class A ordinary shares of the Company in connection with the approval of the Business Combination by the shareholders of the Company (the “Non-Redemption Transaction”). Registration Rights Agreement On or around the Closing Date, Newco, the Company, the Sponsor Holders (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and the enGene Holders (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) will enter into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor Holders and the enGene Holders will be granted certain customary registration rights with respect to their respective Equity Securities (as defined therein) of Newco, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions therein. Certain enGene Indebtedness Prior to the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, enGene agreed to certain modifications of existing convertible indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount of $18,400,000 (the “Amended 2022 Convertible Notes” and, together with the enGene warrants to be issued by enGene as consideration for such modifications, the “Amended 2022 Financing”). Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, enGene entered into agreements pursuant to which it will issue new convertible indebtedness and enGene warrants (i) for cash in an aggregate principal amount of $30,000,000 and (ii) in repayment of certain outstanding indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount of $8,000,000 (collectively, the “2023 Convertible Notes” and, together with the enGene warrants purchased concurrently, the “2023 Financing”; the 2023 Financing together with the Amended 2022 Financing, the “Convertible Bridge Financing”). The Convertible Bridge Financing indebtedness will be converted in the Transactions into that number of common shares of enGene that, when exchanged at the Company Exchange Ratio, shall equal that number of Class A ordinary shares of the Company (or after the Assumption, Newco Shares) that the holders of such indebtedness would have received if they subscribed for Class A ordinary shares of the Company (or after the Assumption, Newco Shares) on the same terms as the PIPE Financing. Business Combination Deadline Extension and Extension Loan Note On June 6, 2023, the Company extended the time available to consummate its Business Combination from June 14, 2023 to September 14, 2023 by having the Sponsor deposit an additional $1,265,000, or $0.10 per unit, into the Trust Account (the “Extension Funding”), in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Investment Management Trust Agreement by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, dated as of December 9, 2021. In connection with the Extension Funding, on June 6, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Extension Note”) in the total principal amount of $1,265,000 to the Sponsor. The Sponsor funded the principal amount of $1,265,000 under the Extension Note by depositing such amount into the Trust Account on June 6, 2023. The Extension Note bears no interest and shall be due and payable on the earlier of (i) the date of consummation of the Business Combination and (ii) the Maturity Date. In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, the Extension Note will be repaid only from amounts remaining outside of the Trust Account, if any. Concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination, the Sponsor will have the option, but not the obligation, to convert up to $600,000 total principal amount of the Extension Note, in whole or in part, into additional warrants of the Company at a price of $1.50 per warrant, each warrant exercisable for one Class A ordinary share, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Company. The warrants will be identical to the private placement warrants issued by the Company to the Sponsor at the time of the Company’s IPO. A failure to pay the principal outstanding amount of the Extension Note within five business days following the date when due or the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy action of the Company shall be deemed an event of default, in which case the Sponsor may declare the Extension Note due and payable immediately.

| Shareholders' Deficit | Note 7 — Shareholders’ Deficit Preference shares Class A ordinary shares Class B ordinary shares Holders of Class A ordinary shares and holders of Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders except as required by law. Unless specified in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, or as required by applicable provisions of the Companies Act or applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of a majority of the Company’s ordinary shares that are voted is required to approve any such matter voted on by the Company’s shareholders. Approval of certain actions will require a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the Company’s ordinary shares that are voted, and pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association; such actions include amending the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and approving a statutory merger or consolidation with another company. The Company’s board of directors is divided into three classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of three years with only one class of directors being appointed in each year. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the appointment of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the appointment of directors can appoint all of the directors. Prior to the Business Combination, only holders of Class B ordinary shares will be able to vote on the appointment of directors and to continue the Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands. The Company’s shareholders are entitled to receive ratable dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor. The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares, which such Class A ordinary shares delivered upon conversion will not have any redemption rights or be entitled to liquidating distributions, if the Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination, at the time of the initial Business Combination or earlier at the option of the holders thereof at a ratio such that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of (i) the total number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon completion of the Public Offering, plus (ii) the total number of Class A ordinary shares issued or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities (as defined herein) 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 Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, deemed issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor, its affiliates or any member of its management team upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and extension loans. Any conversion of Class B ordinary shares described herein will take effect as a compulsory redemption of Class B ordinary shares and an issuance of Class A ordinary shares as a matter of Cayman Islands law. In no event will the Class B ordinary shares convert into Class A ordinary shares at a rate of less than one-to-one. Public Warrants The warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement; provided that if the Class A ordinary shares 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, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but the Company will use its commercially reasonably efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when 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, but the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue-sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) less the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. Redemption of public warrants
The Company will not redeem the warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, it 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. The Company has established the last of the redemption criterion 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 the Company issues a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise his, her or its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Class A ordinary shares may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant as described under the heading “Description of Securities—Warrants —Public Shareholders’ Warrants—Redemption Procedures—Anti-dilution Adjustments”) as well as the $11.50 (for whole shares) warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued. If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption as described above, it will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise its public warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their public warrants on a “cashless basis,” the Company will consider, among other factors, its cash position, the number of public warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on shareholders of issuing the maximum number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Public Warrants. If the Company takes advantage of this option, all holders of Public Warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their public warrants for that number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A ordinary shares 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” means the 10-day average closing price as of the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the warrants. If the Company takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of Class A ordinary shares to be received upon exercise of the 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. The Company believes this feature is an attractive option if it does not need the cash from the exercise of the warrants after the Business Combination. If the Company calls the warrants for redemption and does not take advantage of this option, the 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 warrant holders would have been required to use had all warrant holders been required to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis, as described in more detail below. No fractional Class A ordinary shares will be issued upon exercise. If, upon exercise, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company will round down to the nearest whole number of the number of Class A ordinary shares to be issued to the holder. If, at the time of redemption, the warrants are exercisable for a security other than the Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the warrant agreement (for instance, if the Company is not the surviving company in the Business Combination), the warrants may
be exercised for such security. At such time as the warrants become exercisable for a security other than the Class A ordinary shares, the Company (or surviving company) will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register under the Securities Act the security issuable upon the exercise of the warrants. |

Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP. 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. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any future interim periods. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on March 30, 2023. |

| Emerging Growth Company Status | Emerging Growth Company Status 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 auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding 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 a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to
non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. |

| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

| Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheets, primarily due to its short-term nature. The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

| Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption | Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ deficit. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, 12,650,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheets. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of Class A ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit. The Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected on the balance sheets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is reconciled in the following table:

The underwriters’ exercise of their full over-allotment option generated an additional $907,500 in transaction costs for aggregate transaction costs of $6,700,660 consisting of $2,130,000 of underwriting commissions, $3,727,500 of deferred underwriting commissions and $843,160 of other offering costs. |

| Net Loss Per Share | Net Loss Per Share The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The statements of operations include a presentation of loss per Class A ordinary share and loss per Class B ordinary share following the two-class method of income per share. At June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the losses of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the periods presented. The tables below presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted loss per share for each category for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and for 2022:

| Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements 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. ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statements 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. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. 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’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months. The Company’s tax provision was zero for all periods presented.

| Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The guidance was adopted starting January 1, 2022. Adoption of the ASU did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements.
