PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED ____, 2022

PROXY STATEMENT FOR SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS OF

JUPITER WELLNESS ACQUISITION CORP.

AND PROSPECTUS FOR UP TO 183,391,795 ORDINARY SHARES OF

CHIJET MOTOR COMPANY, INC.

To the Stockholders of Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp.:

You are cordially invited to attend the special meeting of stockholders (the “special meeting”) of Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation, which we refer to as “JWAC,” “we,” “us” or “our”, to be virtually held at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, on , 2023. The special meeting can be accessed via live webcast by visiting , where you will be able to listen to the meeting live and vote during the meeting.

On October 25, 2022 we entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Chijet Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Chijet”), each of the referenced holders of Chijet’s outstanding ordinary shares (collectively, the “Sellers”), Chijet Motor (USA) Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”) and Chijet Motor Company, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chijet (“Pubco”) (as it may be amended from time to time, the “BCA”). Subject to its terms and conditions, the Business Combination Agreement provides that JWAC and Chijet will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco, a newly formed holding company. Chijet indirectly holds an over 85% interest in Shandong Baoya New Energy Vehicle Co., Ltd., a Chinese company (“Baoya”), which is a producer and manufacturer of electric vehicles, and an over 60% interest in FAW Jilin Automobile Co., Ltd., a Chinese company, which manufactures and sells traditional fuel vehicles. The transactions contemplated by the BCA are referred to herein as the “Business Combination”.

Pursuant to the Business Combination and BCA (a) Pubco will acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital shares of Chijet held by the Sellers in exchange for ordinary shares of Pubco, and any shares Chijet holds in Pubco shall be surrendered for no consideration, such that Chijet becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco and the Sellers become shareholders of Pubco (the “Share Exchange”); and immediately thereafter (b) Merger Sub will merge with and into JWAC, with JWAC continuing as the surviving entity and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco.

The BCA provides that at the effective time of the Business Combination (the “Effective Time”):

(i)

all of the outstanding shares of JWAC’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “JWAC Common Stock”) will be exchanged for the right to receive the ordinary shares of Pubco, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Pubco Ordinary Shares”), comprising 14,705,000 Pubco Ordinary Shares; and all of the outstanding shares of JWAC’s Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), according to our certificate of incorporation, will be converted into JWAC Common Stock and likewise exchanged for the right to receive 3,450,000 Pubco Ordinary Shares (following which exchange all shares of JWAC Common Stock and such shares of Class B Common Stock will be cancelled and cease to exist); and

(ii)

the registered holder of each outstanding right to receive one eighth (1/8) of one share of JWAC Common Stock (collectively, the “JWAC Rights”) will be issued the number of full shares of JWAC Common Stock to which such holder of JWAC Rights is eligible, and which shall be exchanged for the equivalent number of Pubco Ordinary Shares, comprising the amount of 1,803,625 Pubco Ordinary Shares; and

(iii)

the Sellers will receive the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares in the Share Exchange that shall have an aggregate value equal to One Billion Six Hundred Million Dollars ($1,600,000,000), comprising the amount of 157,519,170 of Pubco Ordinary Shares, subject to certain Sellers having an earnout (the “Earnout”) which would adjust downwards the consideration they receive by up to Six Hundred Seventy Four Million ($674 million) based on certain post-Closing financial performance and stock price metrics of Pubco, and all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the BCA.

According to the terms of our privately placed warrant to the representative of the underwriters in connection with our initial public offering (the “Representative Warrant”), the Representative Warrant will be replaced with an equivalent warrant exercisable into Pubco Ordinary Shares, comprising 414,000 Pubco Ordinary Shares. In addition, according to the terms of a privately placed warrant granted by Baoya to Greentree Financial Group Inc. (“Greentree”), a financial consultant of Baoya (“GT Warrant”), GT Warrant will be replaced with an equivalent warrant exercisable into Pubco Ordinary Shares, comprising 5,000,000 Pubco Ordinary Shares. For further explanation of the consideration in the Business Combination, see the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — Transaction Consideration.”

In connection with the Earnout, the holders of JWAC Common Stock shall additionally receive a contingent value rights, or CVR, for each share of JWAC Common Stock exchanged as described above, to compensate the holders of JWAC Common Stock in the event the Earnout criteria is not met by the Sellers which would result in an adjustment to the consideration provided to Sellers, except that holders of privately placed JWAC Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (including the Sponsor, its transferees and I-Bankers Securities, Inc. (“I-Bankers”) which served as underwriter in our initial public offering) have waived their rights to receive a CVR relating to those privately placed shares.

It is anticipated that, immediately following completion of the Business Combination and if there are no redemptions by JWAC’s public stockholders and assuming all holders exercise their JWAC Rights and the Representative Warrant and GT Warrant are exercised, JWAC’s existing stockholders, including Jupiter Wellness Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), will own approximately 10.8% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares (of which approximately 2.4% will be owned by the Sponsor and our officers and directors), I-Bankers and Greentree will collectively own approximately 3.3% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares, and the existing holders of Chijet’s ordinary shares, the Sellers, will own approximately 85.9% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares. If there are redemptions by JWAC’s public stockholders up to the maximum level that would permit completion of the Business Combination, and likewise assuming exercise of the JWAC Rights, Representative Warrant and GT Warrant, immediately following completion of the Business Combination, JWAC’s existing stockholders, including the Sponsor, will own approximately 3.6% of Pubco Ordinary Shares (of which approximately 2.5% will be owned by the Sponsor and our officers and directors), I-Bankers and Greentree will collectively own approximately 3.6% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares, and the Sellers will own approximately 92.8% of Pubco Ordinary Shares. These percentages include Pubco Ordinary Shares issuable in connection with (i) the Earnout, (ii) 300,000 shares of JWAC Common Stock issuable to JWAC’s officers and directors within 10 days following the closing of the Business Combination, which shall be exchanged for the equivalent number of Pubco Ordinary Shares, and (iii) the 200,000 shares of Pubco Ordinary Shares issuable to Greentree due to the conversion of Baoya’s accrued expenses of $1,000,000 pursuant to the financial consulting agreements with Greentree, following the consummation of the Business Combination, as described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. These percentages are calculated based on a number of assumptions (as described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus) and are subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. For a discussion of these assumptions, see “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus — The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — Transaction Consideration.”

At the special meeting, our stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon the following proposals:

●

Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Business Combination described in this proxy statement/prospectus, including (a) adopting the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A, which, among other things, provides for the Share Exchange and the merger of JWAC with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the newly formed holding company Pubco, with each of JWAC and Chijet surviving as a separate, direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco, and (b) approving the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and related agreements described in this proxy statement/prospectus (which we collectively refer to as the “Business Combination Proposal”);

●

Proposal No. 2 — The Charter Amendments Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of Pubco (the “Proposed Charter”) in accordance with our certificate of incorporation, in the form attached hereto as Annex B (which we refer to as the “Charter Amendments Proposal”);

●

Proposal No. 3— The Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals — to consider and vote upon, on a non-binding advisory basis, certain governance provisions in the Proposed Charter, presented separately in accordance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requirements (which we refer to as the “Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals”);

●

Proposal No. 4 — The Nasdaq Stock Issuance Proposal — to consider and vote on a proposal to approve, for purposes of complying with applicable listing rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), the issuance of more than 20% of the total issued and outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares in connection with the Business Combination (which we refer to as the “Nasdaq Proposal”);

●

Proposal No. 5 — The Incentive Plan Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Chijet Motors 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan), effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, including the authorization of the shares reserve under the Incentive Plan, in substantially the form attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C (which we refer to as the “Incentive Plan Proposal”); and

●

Proposal No. 6 — The Adjournment Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of one or more proposals at the special meeting (which we refer to as the “Adjournment Proposal”).

Each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendments Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. Each of the Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals and the Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. Each of these proposals is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, which we encourage you to read carefully and in its entirety. The consummation of the Business Combination is also subject to customary closing conditions and a minimum cash condition that JWAC has cash and cash equivalents (including funds remaining in the its Trust Account after completion and payment of the redemption, which is offered as described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus in connection with the Business Combination, and the proceeds of any private placement financing) of $10 million, which is net of JWAC’S unpaid expenses and liabilities, if any.

The JWAC Common Stock and JWAC Rights, are currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “JWAC” and “JWACR,” respectively. We intend to list the Pubco Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “CJET” upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

The Board of Directors of JWAC (the “Board”) has fixed the close of business on , 2023 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the special meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof. Stockholders should carefully read the accompanying Notice of Special Meeting and proxy statement/prospectus for a more complete statement of the proposals to be considered at the Special Meeting.

After careful consideration, the Board has unanimously approved and adopted the Business Combination Agreement and approved the Business Combination, has approved the other proposals described in this proxy statement/ prospectus, and has determined that it is advisable to consummate the Business Combination.

The JWAC board of directors recommends that its stockholders vote “FOR” the proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

This proxy statement/prospectus provides you with detailed information about the Business Combination and other matters to be considered at the special meeting. We urge you to read the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus including the financial statements and annexes and other documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety. In particular, when you consider the recommendation regarding these proposals by the Board, you should keep in mind that JWAC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to, or may conflict with, your interests as a stockholder of JWAC. For instance, the Sponsor will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete a business combination that is less favorable to stockholders of JWAC rather than liquidating JWAC. In addition, you should carefully consider the matters discussed under “Risk Factors” beginning on page 78 of this proxy statement/prospectus. See also the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of JWAC’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination” for additional information.

Pursuant to our current certificate of incorporation, our public stockholders have redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination. Our public stockholders are not required to affirmatively vote for or against the Business Combination to redeem their shares of common stock. This means that public stockholders who hold shares of JWAC Common Stock on or before , 2023 (two (2) business days before the special meeting) will be eligible to elect to have their shares of JWAC Common Stock redeemed for cash in connection with the special meeting, whether or not they are holders as of the Record Date, and whether or not such shares are voted at the special meeting. JWAC public stockholders should carefully refer to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for the requirements and procedures of redemption.

Pubco, with Chijet being its wholly-owned subsidiary post-Business Combination, is a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with its headquarters in Sertus Chamber, Governors Square, Suite # 5-204, 23 Lime Tree Bay Avenue, P.O Box 2547, Grand Cayman, KY1-1104, Cayman Islands . Pubco conducts its operations through Chijet and its subsidiaries, and Pubco’s global headquarters are based in No. 8, Beijing South Road Economic & Technological Development Zone Yantai, Shandong, CN-37 264006 People’s Republic of China, or Mainland China. The securities registered herein are securities of Pubco, not those of its operating companies. Investments in Pubco’s securities are not purchases of equity securities of these operating subsidiaries in the Mainland China but instead are purchases of equity securities of a Cayman Islands holding company with no material operations of its own.

Because some of the operations of Pubco are conducted in Mainland China through its wholly-owned subsidiary Chijet and its subsidiaries, the Chinese government may exercise significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of Chijet’s business in Mainland China and may intervene in or influence its operations at any time, which could result in a material change in Chijet’s operations and/or the value of Pubco’s securities post-Business Combination. Please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China” for a detailed discussion of the risks as a result of Chijet’s corporate structure.

Recent statements by the Chinese government have indicated an intent to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted outside Mainland China and/or foreign investments in Mainland China-based issuers. While post-Business Combination, Pubco will be a company headquartered in Sertus Chambers，Governors Square，Suite # 5-204，23 Lime Tree Bay Avenue，P.O Box 2547，Grand Cayman，KY1-1104，Cayman Islands, its subsidiary Chijet’s headquarters are in No. 8, Beijing South Road Economic & Technological Development Zone Yantai, Shandong, CN-37 264006 People’s Republic of China and a majority of its operations will be conducted in Mainland China, and any future action by the government of the People’s Republic of China, or PRC, expanding the categories of industries and companies whose foreign securities offerings are subject to government review could significantly limit or hinder Pubco’s ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors post-Business Combination and could cause the value of such securities to significantly decline.

Recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and made a number of public statements on the regulation of business operations in Mainland China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over Mainland China-based companies listed outside Mainland China using a variable interest entity structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. As advised by Chijet’s Mainland China counsel, Jincheng Tongda & Neal Law Firm (“JT&N”), Chijet does not believe that it is directly subject to these regulatory actions or statements, as it does not have a variable interest entity structure and as of the date hereof, its business does not involve any type of restricted industry. Because these statements and regulatory actions are new, however, it is highly uncertain how soon legislative or administrative regulation making bodies in Mainland China will respond to them, or what existing or new laws or regulations will be modified or promulgated, if any, or the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on the daily business operations of the Chinese subsidiaries of Chijet or their ability of to accept foreign investments, and value of Pubco’s securities post-Business Combination.

Pubco and its PRC subsidiaries are also subject to various restrictions on intercompany fund transfers and foreign exchange control under current PRC laws and regulations and could be subject to additional, more onerous restrictions under new PRC laws and regulations that may come into effect in the future. For example, Pubco’s PRC subsidiaries may pay dividends only out of their accumulated after-tax profits upon satisfaction of relevant statutory conditions and procedures, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations; each of the PRC subsidiaries is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund certain reserve funds until the total amount set aside reaches 50% of its registered capital; the PRC subsidiaries are required to complete certain procedural requirements related to foreign exchange control in order to make dividend payments in foreign currencies; a withholding tax, at the rate of 10% or lower, is payable by the PRC subsidiaries upon dividend remittance; approval from or registration with competent PRC government authorities is required where Renminbi is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of Mainland China to pay capital expenses, such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies. As of the date hereof, neither Chijet nor any of its subsidiaries have made any dividends or distributions to their parent companies or any investor, and there has been no transfer of cash among Chijet and its subsidiaries. Pubco currently does not have a specific timetable on when to settle the amounts owed within the group and plans to distribute cash dividends after it becomes profitable. See page 61 of Chijet’s audited historical consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus for additional information on the amount of cash balances held as of December 31, 2020 and 2021 and June 30, 2022, respectively. Any determination to pay dividends in the future post-Business Combination will be at the discretion of Pubco’s board of directors.

For Pubco’s operations in Mainland China post-Business Combination, if Pubco intends to distribute dividends from its subsidiaries in Mainland China in the future, such subsidiaries will transfer the dividends to Baoyaev Group Limited, Pubco’s Hong Kong-incorporated subsidiary which controls all of its operating subsidiaries in Mainland China in accordance with the laws and regulations of Mainland China, and then the Hong Kong-incorporated subsidiary will transfer the dividends all the way up to Pubco, and the dividends will be distributed from Pubco to all shareholders respectively in proportion to the shares they hold, regardless of whether the shareholders are U.S. investors or investors in other countries or regions. The cross-border transfer of funds by the subsidiaries in Mainland China under the direct holding structure must be legal and compliant with relevant laws and regulations of China. In utilizing the proceeds from this Business Combination, as an offshore holding company, Pubco is permitted under laws and regulations in Mainland China to provide funding to its subsidiaries in Mainland China only through loans or capital contributions and to its affiliated entities only through loans, subject to applicable government reporting, registration and approvals. However, loans by Pubco to its subsidiaries in Mainland China to finance their activities cannot exceed statutory limits and must be registered with the local counterpart of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of China, or SAFE, and capital contributions to its subsidiaries in Mainland China are subject to the requirement of making necessary registration with competent governmental authorities in Mainland China. See “Risk Factors —Risks Related to Doing Business in China—PRC regulation on loans to, and direct investment in, our PRC subsidiary by offshore holding companies and governmental control in currency conversion may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of the Business Combination to make loans to or make additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.” However, as long as Pubco is compliant with the procedures for approvals from appropriate government authorities and banks in Mainland China, Chijet’s Mainland China counsel, JT&N, has advised that, as of the date hereof, except the restrictions disclosed above, Pubco can transfer funds out of Mainland China. Pubco currently does not have any cash management policy that dictate the transfer of cash between its subsidiaries post-Business Combination.

Pubco is a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC listing rules (the “Listing Rules of Nasdaq”), and may be exempt from certain corporate governance requirements other than those exemptions available to foreign private issuers discussed herein. See “Risk Factors — Pubco will be a ‘controlled company’ within the meaning of the Listing Rules of Nasdaq and, as a result, can rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that provide protection to shareholders of other companies” and “Risk Factors — As a ‘foreign private issuer’ under the rules and regulations of the SEC, Pubco is permitted to file less or different information with the SEC than a company incorporated in the United States or otherwise subject to these rules, and is permitted to follow certain home-country corporate governance practices in lieu of certain Nasdaq requirements applicable to U.S. issuers.”

Pubco is, and will be after the consummation of the Business Combination, considered a “foreign private issuer” under the Exchange Act and therefore exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act, including the proxy rules, which impose certain disclosure and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations for U.S. and other issuers. Moreover, Pubco is not required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or within the same time frames as U.S. companies with securities registered under the Exchange Act, although it may elect to file certain periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC on a voluntary basis on the forms used by U.S. domestic issuers. Pubco is not required to comply with Regulation FD, which imposes restrictions on the selective disclosure of material information to shareholders. In addition, Pubco’s officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules under the Exchange Act with respect to their purchases and sales of Pubco’s securities. Accordingly, after the Business Combination, if you continue to hold Pubco’s securities, you may receive less or different information about Pubco than you currently receive about JWAC.

In addition, as a “foreign private issuer”, Pubco is permitted to follow certain home-country corporate governance practices in lieu of certain Nasdaq requirements. A foreign private issuer must disclose in its Annual Reports filed with the SEC each Nasdaq requirement with which it does not comply followed by a description of its applicable home country practice. Pubco currently intends to follow some, but not all, of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq. With respect to the corporate governance requirements of Pubco that it does follow, Pubco cannot give assurances that it will continue to follow such corporate governance requirements in the future, and may therefore in the future, rely on available Nasdaq exemptions that would allow Pubco to follow its home country practice. Unlike the requirements of Nasdaq, Pubco is not required, under the corporate governance practice and requirements in the Cayman Islands, to have its board consist of a majority of independent directors, nor is Pubco required to have a compensation committee, a nominating or a corporate governance committee consisting entirely of independent directors, or to have regularly scheduled executive sessions with only independent directors each year. Such Cayman Islands home country practices may afford less protection to holders of Ordinary Shares. For additional information regarding the home country practices Pubco intends to follow in lieu of Nasdaq requirements, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Management of Pubco Following the Business Combination — Corporate Governance Practices and Foreign Private Issuer Status.”

Pubco would no longer be eligible for status as a “foreign private issuer” under current SEC rules and regulations if more than 50% of Pubco’s outstanding voting securities becomes directly or indirectly held of record by U.S. holders and one of the following is true: (i) the majority of Pubco’s directors or executive officers are U.S. citizens or residents; (ii) more than 50% of Pubco’s assets are located in the United States; or (iii) Pubco’s business is administered principally in the United States. If Pubco loses its status as a foreign private issuer in the future, it will no longer be exempt from the rules described above and, among other things, will be required to file periodic reports and annual and quarterly financial statements as if it were a company incorporated in the United States. If this were to happen, Pubco would likely incur substantial costs in fulfilling these additional regulatory requirements and members of Pubco’s management would likely have to divert time and resources from other responsibilities to ensuring these additional regulatory requirements are fulfilled.

Lastly, the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (“HFCAA”) would subject Pubco to a number of prohibitions, restrictions and potential delisting if either it or its auditor were designated as an “HFCCA Issuer” or an auditor listed on an HFCAA Determination List, respectively, each as described further herein. An HFCAA Issuer is required to comply with the submission and disclosure requirements in the annual report for each year in which it was identified. If a registrant is identified as a HFCAA Issuer based on its annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the registrant will be required to comply with the submission or disclosure requirements in its annual report filing covering the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. If identified as an HFCAA Issuer, Pubco would be prevented from using an auditor that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board of the U.S., or PCAOB, determines it could not inspect or fully investigate and would (i) prohibit the trading of securities of a company and (ii) require delisting of a company from U.S. national securities exchanges if the PCAOB is unable to inspect its public accounting firm for three consecutive years. The HFCAA also requires public companies to disclose, among other things, whether they are owned or controlled by a foreign government, specifically, those that are based in or have a majority or significant amount of their operations in the PRC. On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “AHFCAA”), which, if enacted, would amend the HFCAA and require the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three. As of the date hereof, the auditor of Chijet, UHYLLP, is not among the auditor firms listed on the HFCAA Determination List, which identifies all of the auditor firms that the PCAOB is not able to inspect. See “Chijet’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Position and Results oof Operations – Holding Company Structure” for more information on the holding company structure and these designations.

On August 26, 2022, the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol with the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, and the Ministry of Finance of the PRC governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in Mainland China and Hong Kong. The agreement includes detailed and specific commitments from the CSRC that would allow PCAOB inspections and investigations meeting U.S. standards, such as (i) independent discretion by the PCAOB to select any issuer audits for inspection or investigation in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (ii) direct access by the PCAOB to interview or take testimony from all personnel of the audit firms whose issuer engagements are being inspected or investigated; (iii) unfettered ability by the PCAOB to transfer information to the SEC in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; and (iv) procedures for PCAOB inspectors to see complete audit work papers without any redactions. Implementation of the aforementioned framework is subject to uncertainties and will affect the PCAOB’s actual ability to inspect and investigate completely audit firms in Mainland China and Hong Kong.

We are providing this proxy statement/prospectus and accompanying proxy card to our stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the special meeting and at any adjournments or postponements of the special meeting.

Your vote is very important. If you are a JWAC stockholder, whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting, please take the time to vote as soon as possible.

Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal —to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve and adopt the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of October 25, 2022, among JWAC, Chijet Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Chijet”), each of the referenced holders of Chijet’s outstanding ordinary shares (collectively, the “Sellers”), Chijet Motor (USA) Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”) and Chijet Motor Company, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chijet, (“Pubco”) (as may be amended from time to time, the “BCA” or the “Business Combination Agreement”). Subject to its terms and conditions, the BCA provides that JWAC and Chijet will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco, a newly formed holding company. The transactions contemplated by the BCA we refer to herein as the “Business Combination.” A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A.

The BCA provides that at the effective time of the Business Combination (the “Effective Time”):

(i)

all of the outstanding shares of JWAC’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “JWAC Common Stock”) will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive the ordinary shares of Pubco, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Pubco Ordinary Shares”), and all of the outstanding shares of JWAC’s Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), according to our certificate of incorporation, will be converted into JWAC Common Stock and likewise cancelled in exchange for the right to receive Pubco Ordinary Shares; and

	(ii)	the registered holder of each outstanding right to receive one eighth (1/8) of one share of JWAC Common Stock (collectively, the “JWAC Rights”) will be issued the number of full shares of JWAC Common Stock to which such holder or JWAC Rights is eligible, and which shall be exchanged for the equivalent number of Pubco Ordinary Shares; and

	(iii)	the Sellers will receive the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares in the Share Exchange that shall have an aggregate value equal to One Billion Six Hundred Million Dollars ($1,600,000,000), comprising the amount of 157,519,170 of Pubco Ordinary Shares, subject to certain Sellers having an earnout (the “Earnout”) which would adjust downwards the consideration they receive by up to Six Hundred Seventy Four Million ($674 million) based on certain post-Closing financial performance and stock price metrics of Pubco, and all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the BCA.

According to the terms of our privately placed warrant (the “Representative Warrant”) to I-Bankers Securities, Inc. (“I-Bankers”), the representative of the underwriters in connection with our initial public offering which was consummated on December 9, 2021 (the “IPO”), the Representative Warrant will be replaced with an equivalent warrant exercisable into Pubco Ordinary Shares. In addition, according to the terms of a privately placed warrant granted by Shandong Baoya New Energy Vehicle Co., Ltd., (“Baoya”) to Greentree Financial Group Inc. (“Greentree”), a financial consultant of Baoya (the “GT Warrant”), the GT Warrant will be replaced with an equivalent warrant exercisable into Pubco Ordinary Shares, comprising 5,000,000 Pubco Ordinary Shares.

In connection with the Earnout, the holders of JWAC Common Stock shall receive a contingent value rights, or CVR, for each share of JWAC Common Stock exchanged as described above, to compensate the holders of JWAC Common Stock in the event the Earnout criteria is not met by the Sellers which would result in an adjustment to the consideration provided to Sellers, except that holders of privately placed JWAC Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (including the Sponsor, its transferees and I-Bankers Securities, Inc. which served as underwriter in our initial public offering) have waived their rights to receive a CVR relating to those privately placed shares.

For further explanation of the consideration in the Business Combination, see the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — Transaction Consideration.”

(2)

Proposal No. 2 — The Charter Amendments Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of Pubco (the “Proposed Charter”) in accordance with our certificate of incorporation, a copy of which is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B, which we refer to as the “Charter Amendments Proposal,” and providing for, among other things, the following material differences from JWAC’s current amended and restated certificate of incorporation:

	(a)	a single class of ordinary shares with authorized shares;

	(b)	authorized preferred shares; and

	(c)	establishing that the board of directors of Pubco following the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Pubco Board”) will not be divided into classes (with the number of directors of the Pubco Board being initially fixed at seven, as discussed under “The Business Combination Proposal—Covenants of the Parties”).

	(3)	Proposal No. 3— The Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals — to consider and vote upon, on a non-binding advisory basis, certain governance provisions in the Proposed Charter, presented separately in accordance with SEC requirements, which we refer to as the “Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals”;

	(4)	Proposal No. 4 — The Nasdaq Stock Issuance Proposal — to consider and vote on a proposal to approve, for purposes of complying with applicable listing rules of Nasdaq, the issuance of more than 20% of the total issued and outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares in connection with the Business Combination, which we refer to as the “Nasdaq Proposal”;

	(5)	Proposal No. 5 — The Incentive Plan Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Chijet Motors 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan), effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), including the authorization of the share reserve under the Incentive Plan equal to five percent (5%) of the aggregate number of Pubco Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing, in substantially the form attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C (which we refer to as the “Incentive Plan Proposal”); and

	(6)	Proposal No. 6 — The Adjournment Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of one or more proposals at the special meeting, which we refer to as the “Adjournment Proposal.”

The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement will be consummated only if the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendments Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, and the Incentive Plan Proposal are approved at the Special Meeting. Each of these Proposals are cross-conditioned on each other. The Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals and the Adjournment Proposal are each not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. The consummation of the Business Combination is also subject to customary closing conditions and a minimum cash condition that JWAC has cash and cash equivalents (including funds remaining in the its Trust Account after completion and payment of the redemption, which is offered as described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus in connection with the Business Combination, and the proceeds of any private placement financing) of $10 million, which is net of JWAC’S unpaid expenses and liabilities, if any.

Each of these proposals is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, which we encourage you to read carefully and in its entirety before voting. Only holders of record of JWAC Common Stock and JWAC’s Class B Common Stock at the close of business on , 2023 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of the Special Meeting and to vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the Special Meeting. A complete list of JWAC stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Special Meeting will be available for ten (10) days before the Special Meeting at the principal executive offices of JWAC for inspection by stockholders during ordinary business hours for any purpose germane to the Special Meeting.

After careful consideration, the Board has unanimously approved and adopted the Business Combination Agreement and unanimously recommends that our stockholders vote “FOR” all of the proposals presented to our stockholders at the Special Meeting. When you consider the Board recommendation of these proposals, you should keep in mind that directors and officers of JWAC have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a stockholder. See the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of JWAC’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

Pursuant to JWAC’s current certificate of incorporation, its public stockholders may demand that JWAC redeem, upon the Closing of the Business Combination, shares of our JWAC Common Stock then held by them for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit (as of two business days prior to the Closing of the Business Combination) in the trust account (the “Trust Account”) that holds the proceeds (including interest but less taxes payable) of JWAC’s IPO. As of September 30, 2022, based on funds in the Trust Account of $140.0 million on such date, the pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account for the redemption of public shares of JWAC Common Stock was approximately $10.157 per share. Our public stockholders are not required to affirmatively vote for or against the Business Combination in order to redeem their shares of JWAC Common Stock for cash. This means that public stockholders who hold shares of our JWAC Common Stock on or before , 2023 (two (2) business days before the Special Meeting) will be eligible to elect to have their shares of JWAC Common Stock redeemed for cash in connection with the Special Meeting, whether or not they are holders as of the Record Date, and whether or not such shares are voted at the Special Meeting. To redeem their shares of JWAC Common Stock for cash, our public stockholders can demand that JWAC convert their public shares into cash and tender their shares to JWAC’s transfer agent. JWAC stockholders should carefully refer to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for the requirements and procedures of redemption. Holders of JWAC Rights and the Representative Warrant do not have redemption rights with respect to such securities in connection with the Business Combination.

Our sponsor, Jupiter Wellness Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (our “Sponsor”), and holders of our Class B Common Stock issued prior to our IPO, their permitted transferees, and our officers and directors (collectively, the “JWAC Initial Stockholders”), and I-Bankers, the representative of the underwriters in our IPO, have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any shares of JWAC Common Stock held by them in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination (which waiver was provided in connection with JWAC’s IPO and without any separate consideration paid in connection with providing such waiver), and such shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. Currently, the Sponsor and JWAC Initial Stockholders beneficially own 21.7%, JWAC’s public stockholders beneficially own 76.0 % and I-Bankers beneficially owns 2.3%, of the issued and outstanding shares of JWAC Common Stock giving effect to conversion from Class B Common Stock immediately prior to the effective time of the Business Combination. The JWAC Initial Stockholders and I-Bankers have agreed to vote any shares of JWAC Common Stock owned by them in favor of the Business Combination.

You are urged to carefully read and consider the “Risk Factors” beginning on page 78 of this proxy statement/prospectus and the other information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety, including the Annexes and accompanying financial statements.

Your vote is very important. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, please vote as soon as possible by following the instructions in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus to ensure that your shares are represented at the Special Meeting. If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted “FOR” each of the proposals presented at the Special Meeting. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that votes relating to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

Your attention is directed to the proxy statement/prospectus accompanying this notice (including the annexes thereto) for a more complete description of the proposed Business Combination and related transactions and each of the Proposals. We encourage you to read this proxy statement/prospectus carefully. If you have any questions or need assistance voting your shares, please call us at (561) 244-7100.

	●	the level of redemptions by holders of JWAC Common Stock;

	●	differences in the debt, or working capital, or other expenses, or other items that affect the consideration in the Business Combination, or other assumptions relating to our calculation of possible values and percentages holdings by parties to the Business Combination;

	●	assumptions regarding, and changes in, energy, material and labor prices;

	●	the possibility that JWAC or Chijet might be adversely affected by other economic, business or competitive factors; and

	●	other risks and uncertainties indicated in this proxy statement/prospectus, including those indicated under the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

RISK FACTOR SUMMARY

Chijet’s business and its ability to execute its strategy, the proposed Business Combination, and any investment in the securities of Pubco after the Business Combination are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Pubco’s or Chijet’s control and will be beyond the control of the Combined Company. You should carefully consider and evaluate all of the risks and uncertainties with respect to any investment in the securities of the Combined Company, including, but not limited to, the following and those discussed under “Risk Factors.” References below to Chijet shall be deemed to also refer to Pubco and the post-Business Combination company, as the context requires or as appropriate.

Risks Relating to Chijet

	●	Chijet will require significant additional capital to pursue its business strategy, but it may not be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms or at all.

	●	If Chijet is not able to successfully manage its growth strategy, its business operations and financial results may be adversely affected.

	●	An increase in the prices of materials used in Chijet’s business could adversely affect its business.

	●	Chijet may be unable to operate on a profitable basis or as Chijet has committed to its customers.

	●	Operation of its business in international markets may expose Chijet to additional risks that Chijet would not face in the United States, which could have an adverse effect on its operating results.

	●	Failure of third parties to timely manufacture quality products or provide reliable services in a timely manner could cause delays in the delivery of Chijet’s vehicles and services, which could damage its reputation, have a negative impact on its relationships with its customers and adversely affect its growth.

	●	Chijet’s estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth may prove to be inaccurate.

Risks Relating to JWAC, Pubco and the Business Combination

	●	If JWAC does not consummate a business combination by the termination date of March 9, 2023, JWAC will have to liquidate, or extend the termination date by means of a further contribution to the Trust Account in accordance with the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation.

	●	Following the consummation of the Business Combination, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of Pubco Ordinary Shares.

	●	JWAC will incur significant costs in connection with the Business Combination and if not consummated, JWAC may not have sufficient cash available to pay such costs.

	●	The working capital available to Pubco after the Business Combination will be reduced by any redemptions and transaction expenses in connection with the Business Combination.

	●	If the funds held outside of our Trust Account are insufficient to allow us to operate until at least March 9, 2023, our ability to complete an initial business combination may be adversely affected.

	●	Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

	●	The Sponsor, and JWAC’s directors and officers, have conflicts of interest in determining to pursue the business combination with Chijet.

	●	There are risks to unaffiliated stockholders who become stockholders of the Combined Company through the Business Combination rather than acquiring securities of Chijet or Pubco directly in an underwritten public offering, including no independent due diligence review by an underwriter and conflicts of interest of the Sponsor.

●

The process of taking a company public by means of a special purpose acquisition company is different from an underwritten public offering and may create risks for unaffiliated investors.

●

Concentration of ownership among Chijet’s existing, directors and their affiliates may prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions.

●

There can be no assurance that Pubco Ordinary Shares will be approved for listing on Nasdaq upon the Closing, or be able to comply with its listing standards.

●

The ability to execute JWAC’s strategic plan could be negatively impacted by redemptions.

●

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

●

The Sponsor and JWAC’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may elect to purchase shares of JWAC Common Stock from JWAC’s stockholders, which may influence a vote on a proposed business combination and reduce the public float of JWAC’s capital stock.

●

To complete the Business Combination, management’s focus and resources may be diverted from operational matters and other strategic opportunities.

●

Chijet’s and JWAC’s operations may be restricted before Closing by the Business Combination Agreement.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

FOR STOCKHOLDERS OF JWAC

The following questions and answers briefly address some commonly asked questions about the proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting of JWAC stockholders. The following questions and answers do not include all the information that is important to stockholders of JWAC. We urge the stockholders of JWAC to read carefully this entire proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes and other documents referred to herein.

Q:	Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus?

JWAC’s stockholders are being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Business Combination contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, among other proposals. Upon the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, each of JWAC and Chijet will become a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of a newly formed company, Pubco. A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A.

This proxy statement/prospectus and its annexes contain important information about the proposed Business Combination and the other matters to be acted upon at JWAC’s Special Meeting. You should read this proxy statement/prospectus and its annexes and the other documents referred to herein carefully and in their entirety.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT. YOU ARE URGED TO SUBMIT YOUR PROXIES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER CAREFULLY REVIEWING THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND ITS ANNEXES AND CAREFULLY CONSIDERING EACH OF THE PROPOSALS BEING PRESENTED AT THE SPECIAL MEETING.

Q:	What proposals are stockholders of JWAC being asked to vote upon?

A:	Stockholders of JWAC are being asked to vote on the following proposals:

(1)

The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — To approve and adopt the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, including the Business Combination. A summary of the Business Combination is set forth in the “Business Combination (Proposal 1)” section of this proxy statement/prospectus and a complete copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached hereto as Annex A. You are encouraged to read them in their entirety.

(2)

The Charter Amendments Proposal (Proposal 2) — Assuming the Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) is approved and adopted, to approve the Proposed Charter of Pubco, in the form appended to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B in accordance with our certificate of incorporation, and a summary of which is set forth in “The Charter Amendments Proposal (Proposal 2)” section of this proxy statement/prospectus, which provides for the following material differences from the JWAC’s existing certificate of incorporation:

	(a)	a class of ordinary shares with  authorized shares;

	(b)	authorized preferred shares; and

	(c)	establishing that the board of directors of Pubco following the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Pubco Board”) will not be divided into classes (with the number of directors of the Pubco Board being initially fixed at seven, as discussed under “The Business Combination Proposal—Covenants of the Parties”).

(3)

Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals (Proposal 3) — To consider and vote upon, on a non-binding basis, certain governance provisions in the Proposed Charter, presented separately in accordance with SEC requirements. A summary of these provisions is set forth in the “Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals (Proposal 3)” section of this proxy statement/prospectus.

	(4)	The Nasdaq Stock Issuance Proposal (Proposal 4) — To approve, for purposes of complying with applicable listing rules of Nasdaq, for purposes of complying with applicable listing rules of Nasdaq, the issuance of more than 20% of the total issued and outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares in connection with the Business Combination. A summary of this proposal is set forth in the “The Nasdaq Proposal (Proposal 4)” section of this proxy statement/prospectus.

	(5)	The Incentive Plan Proposal (Proposal 5) — To approve the Incentive Plan, including the authorization of the share reserve under the Incentive Plan, in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex C. A summary of the 2023 Plan is set forth in the “The Incentive Plan (Proposal 5)” section of this proxy statement/prospectus.

	(6)	The Adjournment Proposal (Proposal 6) — To consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting of JWAC to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Special Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve one or more of the proposals at the special meeting.

Q:	Are the proposals conditioned on one another?

A:	Yes. We refer to the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendments Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal as “Condition Precedent Proposals”. The Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of each of the Condition Precedent Proposals at the special meeting. The Condition Precedent Proposals are each conditioned on each other. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the other Proposals, other than the Adjournment Proposal, will not be presented to the stockholders of JWAC at the Special Meeting. The Adjournment Proposal, as well as the Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals, in each case is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. It is important for you to note that in the event that the Business Combination Proposal does not receive the requisite vote for approval, after taking into account any approved adjournment or postponement, if necessary, then we will not consummate the Business Combination. If JWAC does not consummate the Business Combination and fails to complete an initial business combination by March 9, 2023, or extend the termination date by means of a further contribution to the Trust Account in accordance with the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation, or by means of amendment to such certificate, JWAC will be required to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to its public stockholders.

Q:	What will happen in the Business Combination?

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, JWAC and Chijet will each become direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries of a newly-formed holding company, Pubco. The merger consideration generally will be paid in Pubco Ordinary Shares. The merger consideration in the Business Combination to Sellers is the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares that shall have an aggregate value equal to One Billion Six Hundred Million Dollars ($1,600,000,000), subject to certain Sellers having an earnout (the “Earnout”), which would adjust downwards the consideration they receive by up to Six Hundred Seventy Four Million ($674 million) based on certain post-Closing financial performance and stock price metrics of Pubco, and all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the BCA. The exact amount of Pubco Ordinary Shares to be received by holders of Chijet Ordinary Shares and JWAC Common Stock will not be known until the Closing.

In connection with the Earnout, the holders of JWAC Common Stock shall also receive at the Closing a contingent value rights, or CVR, for each share of JWAC Common Stock exchanged in the Business Combination, to compensate the holders of JWAC Common Stock in the event the Earnout criteria is not met by the Sellers which would result in an adjustment to the consideration provided to Sellers, except that holders of privately placed JWAC Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (including the Sponsor, its transferees and I-Bankers Securities, Inc. which served as underwriter in our initial public offering) have waived their rights to receive a CVR relating to those privately placed shares.

For an explanation and estimate of the consideration to Chijet Holders in the Business Combination, see the section entitled “—The Business Combination Proposal – Transaction Consideration.”

In connection with the Business Combination, the registered holder of each of the JWAC Rights will be issued the number of full shares of JWAC Common Stock to which such holder or JWAC Rights is eligible. The amount of JWAC Rights held by each Rights Holder will be rounded up to the nearest whole share of JWAC Common Stock and likewise exchanged for Pubco Ordinary Shares.

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

In addition to approval of the Condition Precedent Proposals, there are a number of closing conditions in the Business Combination Agreement, including the approval by the holders of Chijet Ordinary Shares of the Business Combination. For a summary of the conditions that must be satisfied or waived prior to the Closing of the Business Combination, see the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement — Conditions to Consummation of the Merger” and “Summary of the Proxy Statement/ Prospectus — The Proposals — The Business Combination Proposal.”

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

Under the DGCL and the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation, JWAC must provide all holders of its public shares with the opportunity to have their public shares redeemed upon the consummation of JWAC’s initial business combination either in conjunction with a tender offer or in conjunction with a stockholder vote. For legal and other reasons, JWAC has elected to provide its stockholders with the opportunity to have their public shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder vote rather than a tender offer. Therefore, JWAC is seeking to obtain the approval of its stockholders of the Business Combination Proposal in order to allow its public stockholders to effectuate redemptions of their public shares in connection with the closing of the Business Combination.

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

JWAC stockholders are entitled to one vote at the Special Meeting for each share of JWAC Common Stock and JWAC Class B Common Stock held of record as of , 2023, the Record Date for the Special Meeting. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus December 16, 2022, there were 14,705,000 issued and outstanding shares JWAC Class A Common Stock and 3,450,000 issued and outstanding shares of JWAC Class B Common Stock.

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

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Charter Amendments Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding JWAC Common Stock as of the Record Date. Accordingly, a JWAC stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (including by virtual attendance) at the Special Meeting or an abstention will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal and the Charter Amendments Proposal.

In contrast, approval of the Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal each requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of JWAC Common Stock cast by the stockholders represented, in person (including by virtual attendance) or by proxy, and entitled to vote thereon, at the Special Meeting. Accordingly, a JWAC stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (including by virtual attendance) at the Special Meeting will not be counted towards the number of shares of JWAC Common Stock required to validly establish a quorum and, if a valid quorum is otherwise established, it will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on these other Proposals.

If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the other Condition Precedent Proposals will not be submitted to a vote. The approval of the Condition Precedent Proposals are preconditions to the consummation of the Business Combination.

The JWAC Initial Stockholders, including our Sponsor and our directors and officers, and I-Bankers have agreed to vote all of their founder shares and all of their shares of JWAC Common Stock (including, but not limited to, shares of JWAC Common Stock underlying the private placement units, representative shares, and JWAC Class B Common Stock) in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. As a result, in addition to our Initial Stockholders’ founders shares and private placement shares, we may need as few as 4,722,501 or approximately 34.22% of our 13,800,000 public shares, to be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the Charter Amendments Proposal, and as few as 183,751, or approximately 1.33% of the 13,800,000 of our public shares to be vote at the Special Meeting in favor of the other Proposals, in order to have our Business Combination approved.

Specifically, the letter agreement among JWAC and our officers and directors and the Sponsor, provides therein that: the Sponsor and each Insider (as defined in such letter agreement) agrees that if the Company (i.e. JWAC) seeks stockholder approval of a proposed Business Combination, then in connection with such proposed Business Combination, it, he or she shall (i) vote any shares of Capital Stock (as defined in such letter agreement) owned by it, him or her in favor of any proposed Business Combination and (ii) not redeem any shares of Common Stock owned by it, him or her in connection with such stockholder approval. If the Company engages in a tender offer in connection with any proposed Business Combination, the Sponsor and each Insider agrees that it, he or she will not seek to sell or tender any shares of Capital Stock owned by it, him or her to the Company in connection with such tender offer.

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

Our public stockholders are not required to vote in respect of the Business Combination in order to exercise their redemption rights. Accordingly, the Business Combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the Trust Account and the number of public stockholders are reduced as a result of redemptions by holders of our public shares.

The Business Combination Agreement provides that the obligations of Chijet to consummate the Merger are conditioned on, among other things, the satisfaction of the Minimum Cash Condition. If such condition is not met, and such condition is not waived under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, then the Business Combination Agreement could terminate and the proposed Business Combination may not be consummated. There can be no assurance that Chijet would waive the Minimum Cash Condition. In addition, pursuant to JWAC’s existing organizational documents in no event will we redeem public shares in an amount that would cause JWAC’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) to be less than $5,000,001.

Q:	Did JWAC’s board of directors obtain a fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination?

JWAC’s board of directors obtained from Stanton Park a fairness opinion in connection with JWAC’s board of director’s determination to approve the Business Combination. We note that the prospectus for JWAC’s IPO provides that if JWAC seeks to complete a business combination with an entity affiliated with the Sponsor or JWAC’s officers or directors, JWAC would be required to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of FINRA or an independent accounting firm that our initial business combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view. Chijet is not an entity affiliated with the Sponsor or JWAC’s officers or directors. In addition to obtaining a fairness opinion, in analyzing the Business Combination, JWAC’s board of directors reviewed the significant business, financial and legal due diligence assessment completed and/or commission by JWAC’s management on Chijet and again concluded that its members’ collective experience and backgrounds, together with the experience and sector expertise of JWAC’s management, enabled it to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Business Combination, including that the Business Combination was fair from a financial perspective to its shareholders and that Chijet’s fair market value was at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the Business Combination. For a description of the Stanton Park fairness opinion see the section entitled “Proposal 1 – Business Combination – Stanton Park Fairness Opinion.”

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

The Sponsor and JWAC’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase JWAC Common Stock in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or after the Closing, including from holders of JWAC Common Stock who would have otherwise exercised their redemption rights. However, the Sponsor, directors, officers and their affiliates have no current commitments or plans to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions at the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. None of the Sponsor, or JWAC’s directors, officers or advisors or their respective affiliates will make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller or during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Any such purchase after the Record Date would include a contractual acknowledgement that the selling shareholder, although still the record holder of JWAC Common Stock, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event the Sponsor or JWAC’s directors, officers or advisors or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from holders of public shares who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are in excess of the per-share pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account. The purpose of these purchases could be to vote such shares in favor of Proposals contained herein, including the Business Combination Proposal and the Charter Amendments obtaining stockholder approval of the Proposals, and could be to increase the amount of cash available to JWAC for use in the Business Combination.

Unlike our Sponsor’s and JWAC Initial Stockholders’ holdings currently, such newly purchased shares (if any) by those purchasers would not be subject to a lock-up period under the terms of our Sponsor Support Agreement. However, these newly purchased shares would be subject to limitations on resale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act as “control securities”, to the extent those shares were acquired by an affiliate of JWAC, unless they are registered on a subsequent registration statement filed under the Securities Act. Limitations on resale would require those affiliated purchasers of such newly purchased shares to hold them for at least one year (from the date Pubco files certain information on Form 8-K following the Closing in accordance with rules applicable to special purpose acquisition companies), assuming they are not registered on a registration statement following the Closing and Pubco has fully complied with its reporting requirements and other requirements under Rule 144. When eligible to be sold, such securities if not registered under such a registration statement would be limited by applicable requirements of Rule 144, including limitations in their manner of sale and to the volume of sales eligible under Rule 144.

Q:	What constitutes a quorum at the Special Meeting?

The presence, in person (including by virtual attendance) or by proxy, at the Special Meeting of the holders of shares of outstanding capital stock of JWAC representing a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of JWAC entitled to vote at such meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the absence of a quorum, the chairman of the meeting has the power to adjourn the Special Meeting. As of the Record Date, 9,077,501 shares of JWAC Common Stock would be required to achieve a quorum assuming JWAC has 18,155,000 shares of JWAC Common Stock issued and outstanding.

Q:	What equity stake will current stockholders of JWAC and the Chijet Holders hold in Pubco after the Closing?

It is anticipated that, immediately following completion of the Business Combination and if there are no redemptions by JWAC’s public stockholders and assuming all holders exercise their JWAC Rights and the Representative Warrant and GT Warrant are exercised, JWAC’s existing stockholders, including Jupiter Wellness Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), will own approximately 10.8% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares (of which approximately 2.4% will be owned by the Sponsor and our officers and directors), I-Bankers and Greentree will collectively own approximately 3.3% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares, and the existing holders of Chijet’s ordinary shares, the Sellers, will own approximately 85.9% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares. If there are redemptions by JWAC’s public stockholders up to the maximum level that would permit completion of the Business Combination, and likewise assuming exercise of the JWAC Rights, Representative Warrant and GT Warrant, immediately following completion of the Business Combination, JWAC’s existing stockholders, including the Sponsor, will own approximately 3.6% of Pubco Ordinary Shares (of which approximately 2.5% will be owned by the Sponsor and our officers and directors), I-Bankers and Greentree will collectively own approximately 3.6% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares, and the Sellers will own approximately 92.8% of Pubco Ordinary Shares. These percentages include Pubco Ordinary Shares issuable in connection with (i) the Earnout, (ii) 300,000 shares of JWAC Common Stock issuable to JWAC’s officers and directors within 10 days following the closing of the Business Combination, which shall be exchanged for the equivalent number of Pubco Ordinary Shares, and (iii) the 200,000 shares of Pubco Ordinary Shares issuable to Greentree due to the conversion of Baoya’s accrued expenses of $1,000,000 pursuant to the financial consulting agreements with Greentree, following the consummation of the Business Combination, as described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. These percentages are calculated based on a number of assumptions (as described in this proxy statement/prospectus) and are subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. For a discussion of these assumptions, see “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus — The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — Transaction Consideration.”

If the actual facts are different than these assumptions (which they are likely to be), the percentage ownership in Pubco will be different. See “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus – Impact of the Business Combination on JWAC’s Public Float” and “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Combined Financial Information” for further information.

The following table illustrates varying ownership levels of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Pubco, assuming varying levels of redemptions by JWAC’s public stockholders:

(in thousands)	Assuming No Redemptions				Assuming 50% Redemptions				Assuming Maximum Redemptions

JWAC public stockholders		13,800	7.8	%		6,900	4.1	%		1,624	1.0	%
Shares of JWAC public stockholders issuable upon conversion of JWAC Rights at closing		1,725	1.0	%		862	0.5	%		203	0.1	%
JWAC Sponsor and its permitted transferees and directors and officers		3,943	2.2	%		3,943	2.3	%		3,943	2.4	%
Shares of JWAC Sponsor and its permitted transferees and directors and officers issuable upon conversion of JWAC Rights at closing		62	0.0	%		62	0.0	%		62	0.0	%
I-Bankers’ private placement shares		136	0.1	%		136	0.1	%		136	0.1	%
Shares of I-Bankers issuable upon conversion of JWAC Rights at closing		17	0.0	%		17	0.0	%		17	0.0	%
I-Bankers representative shares		276	0.1	%		276	0.2	%		276	0.2	%
Chijet Holders (1) (2)		157,519	88.8	%		157,519	92.8	%		157,519	96.2	%
Total Shares at closing		177,478	100.0	%		169,715	100.0	%		163,780	100.0	%

	(1)	The number of Pubco Ordinary Shares to be held by Chijet Holders in the no redemption scenario includes 157,519,170 shares to be issued to the Sellers for all issued and outstanding Chijet Ordinary Shares at closing of the Business Combination.

	(2)	If the actual facts are different than these assumptions, the ownership percentage retained by the holders of JWAC Common Stock in Pubco will be different from the above-stated ownership percentage.

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

In addition, the following table illustrates varying ownership levels in Pubco Ordinary Shares immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination based on the varying levels of redemptions by the public shareholders, on a fully diluted basis, showing full exercise and conversion of all securities expected to be outstanding as of the Closing of the Business Combination, including (i) Representative Warrant, (ii) GT Warrant, and (iii) any outstanding securities of Pubco and Chijet:

Additional Dilution Sources (1) (in thousands)	Assuming No Redemption		% of Total (2)			Assuming 50% Redemption (3)		% of Total (2)			Assuming Maximum Redemptions (4)		% of Total (2)

JWAC officer and director’s shares (5)		300		0.2	%		300		0.2	%		300		0.2	%
Shares issuable to Greentree (6)		200		0.1	%		200		0.1	%		200		0.1	%
Shares underlying Representative Warrant (7)		414		0.2	%		414		0.2	%		414		0.2	%
GT warrant (8)		5,000		2.7	%		5,000		2.8	%		5,000		3.0	%

	(1)	All share numbers and percentages for the Additional Dilution Sources are presented without the potential reduction of any amounts paid by the holders of the given Additional Dilution Sources and therefore may overstate the presentation of dilution.

	(2)	The Percentage of Total with respect to each Additional Dilution Source set forth below, including the Total Additional Dilutive Sources, includes the full amount of shares issued with respect to the applicable Additional Dilution Source in both the numerator and denominator. For example, in the illustrative no redemption scenario, the Percentage of Total with respect to the Pubco Ordinary Shares underlying the Representative Warrant would be calculated as follows: (a) 414,000 shares issued pursuant to the Representative Warrant; divided by (b) (i) 177,477,795 shares (the number of shares outstanding prior to any issuance pursuant to the shares underlying Representative Warrant and GT Warrant) plus (ii) 414,000 shares issued pursuant to the shares underlying the Representative Warrant and (iii) 5,000,000 shares issued pursuant to the shares underlying the GT Warrant and (iv) the 300,000 shares of JWAC Common Stock issuable to JWAC’s officers and directors within 10 days following the closing of the Business Combination, which shall be exchanged for the equivalent number of Pubco Ordinary Shares, and (v) the 200,000 shares of Pubco Ordinary Shares issuable to Greentree due to the conversion of Baoya’s accrued expenses of $1,000,000 pursuant to the financial consulting agreements with Greentree. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Combined Financial Information” for further information.

	(3)	Amount shown represents share redemption levels reflecting 50% of the redeemable public shares outstanding (approximately 6,900,000 shares).

	(4)	Assumes that approximately 87% of JWAC’s outstanding public shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, which is the maximum permitted amount of redemptions while still satisfying the conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination in the Business Combination Agreement.

	(5)	Assumes issuance of 300,000 shares of JWAC Common Stock issuable to JWAC’s officers and directors within 10 days following the closing of the Business Combination, which shall be exchanged for the equivalent number of Pubco Ordinary Shares.

	(6)	Assumes issuance of the 200,000 shares of Pubco Ordinary Shares issuable to Greentree due to the conversion of Baoya’s accrued expenses of $1,000,000 pursuant to the financial consulting agreements with Greentree.

	(7)	Assumes exercise of all Representative Warrant to purchase 414,000 shares of JWAC Common Stock.

	(8)	Assumes exercise of all GT Warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of JWAC Common Stock.

The following table presents share information based on the various redemption scenarios, including no redemptions, 33.3%, 50%, 66.6% and maximum redemption scenarios.

All of the relative percentages above are for illustrative purposes only. These percentages are calculated based on a number of assumptions (as described in this proxy statement/prospectus) and are subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. For a discussion of these assumptions, see “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus — The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — Transaction Consideration.” Should one or more of the assumptions prove incorrect, actual beneficial ownership percentages may vary materially from those described in this proxy statement/prospectus as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or intended. Pursuant to JWAC’s underwriting agreement with I-Bankers, I-Bankers is entitled to $4,830,000 in deferred underwriting commissions.

Q:	What are the effective deferred underwriting fees on a percentage basis for JWAC Common Stock based on the level of redemptions?

A:	Approximately $4,830,000 of deferred underwriting fees related to the IPO are conditioned upon completion of an initial business combination by JWAC, which fees are not impacted by the size of such transaction or the level of redemptions associated therewith. The following table illustrates the effective deferred underwriting fee on a percentage basis for JWAC Common Stock at each redemption level identified below.

	No Redemption Scenario			Assuming 50% Redemption Scenario			Maximum Redemption Scenario
	(shares in thousands)
	(amounts in thousands of US$)
Unredeemed public shares of JWAC
Class A Common Stock		13,800			6,900			1,624
Trust proceeds to Pubco	$	140,173		$	70,087		$	16,500
Deferred Underwriting Fees	$	4,830		$	4,830		$	4,830
Effective Deferred Underwriting Fees*		3.5	%		7.0	%		29.7	%

* Assuming a trading price of $10.00 share.

The level of redemptions will also impact the effective deferred underwriting fee per share of our public shares incurred in connection with the IPO and payable upon the completion of the Business Combination. JWAC incurred $4,830,000 in deferred underwriting fees. Assuming exercise of the Rights, in a no redemption scenario, the effective deferred underwriting fee would be approximately $0.35 per public share on a pro forma basis (or 3.5% of the value of shares assuming a trading price of $10.00 per public share). In a medium redemption scenario in which 50% of the shares assumed to be redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, the effective deferred underwriting fee would be approximately $0.70 per public share on a pro forma basis (or 7.0% of the value of shares assuming a trading price of $10.00 per share). In the maximum redemption scenario, the effective deferred underwriting fee would be approximately $2.97 per public share on a pro forma basis (or 29.7% of the value of shares assuming a trading price of $10.00 per share).

Q:	How will the Sponsor and our directors and officers vote?

Our Initial Stockholders, including the Sponsor and our directors and officers, currently own 493,000 shares of JWAC Common Stock and 3,450,000 shares of JWAC Class B Common Stock, representing 21.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of JWAC Common Stock. Shares of JWAC Class B Common Stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as provided in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. See “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions.”

As a result, and because I-Bankers has agreed to vote its representative shares in favor of the applicable proposal, we may need as few as only 183,751, or approximately 1.33%, of the 13,800,000 of our public shares, to be voted at the Special Meeting in favor of the Advisory Charter Amendments Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, and as few as 4,722,501, or approximately 34.22% of our 13,800,000 public shares, to be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the Charter Amendments Proposal, in order to have our Business Combination approved.

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

A:	The Sponsor, members of JWAC’s Board and its executive officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) your interest. These interests include, among other things:

●

If the Business Combination, or another business combination, is not consummated by March 9, 2023 (or such later date as may be extended by means of a further contribution to the Trust Account in accordance with the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation or amendment to such certificate), then JWAC will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) 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 franchise and income taxes (less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

●

Our Sponsor paid an aggregate of $50,000 for the founder shares, or approximately $0.017 per founder share. As a result, our Sponsor, its affiliates and our management team and advisors could make a substantial profit if the Business Combination is consummated. On the other hand, if the Business Combination is not consummated, such founder shares will be worthless.

●

Our Sponsor has agreed to purchase an aggregate of 425,000 units (or 470,000 units if the over-allotment option is exercised in full) at a price of $10.00 per unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $4,250,000 (or 4,700,000 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full), and I-Bankers has agreed to purchase an aggregate of 90,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $900,000, that will also be worthless if the Business Combination is not consummated.

●

Within 10 days following the Business Combination, if it is approved and consummated, the Company will issue to our officers and directors an aggregate of 300,000 shares of JWAC Common Stock, with the same lock-up restrictions and registration rights as the founder shares

●

Our Sponsor has agreed to waive its redemption rights with respect to any founder shares, any private placement shares and any public shares held in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination. Additionally, our Sponsor has agreed to waive its redemption rights with respect to any founder shares or private placement shares held by it if we fail to consummate the Business Combination within the required time period. If we do not complete our initial business combination within such applicable time period, the proceeds of the sale of the private placement units held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of our public shares, and the private placement rights (and the underlying securities) will expire worthless. Subject to certain limited exceptions, our Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell 50% of its founder shares until the earlier of (i) six months after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination or (ii) the date on which the closing price of our shares of Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock sub-divisions, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after our initial business combination and the remaining 50% of the founder shares may not be transferred, assigned or sold until six months after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to our initial business combination, we consummate a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock for cash, securities or other property. With certain limited exceptions, the private units will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination.

Q:	What happens if I sell my shares of JWAC Common Stock before the Special Meeting?

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

Q:	What happens if the Business Combination Proposal is not approved?

Pursuant to the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation, if the Business Combination Proposal is not approved and JWAC does not otherwise consummate an alternative business combination by March 9, 2023, unless extended by means of a further contribution to the Trust Account in accordance with the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation or amendment to such certificate, JWAC will be required to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public stockholders.

Q:	Do I have redemption rights?

Pursuant to the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation, holders of public shares may elect to have their shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share calculated in accordance with the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation. As of September 30, 2022, based on funds in the Trust Account of $140 million, this would have amounted to approximately $10.157 per share (net of taxes payable on accrued interest in the Trust Account). It is anticipated that the per share redemption price will be approximately $10.157 (net of taxes payable on accrued interest in the Trust Account) at the closing of the Business Combination, which is anticipated to occur during the first half of 2023. If a holder exercises its redemption rights, then such holder will be exchanging its shares of JWAC Common Stock for cash. Such a holder will be entitled to receive cash for its public shares only if it properly demands redemption and delivers its shares (either physically or electronically) to JWAC’s transfer agent prior to the Special Meeting. See the question titled “How do I exercise my redemption rights?” below and the section titled “Special Meeting of JWAC Stockholders—Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your public shares for cash.

Holders of JWAC Rights do not have redemption rights with respect to their rights. At the Closing of the Business Combination, the JWAC Rights will be eligible to be exchanged for one-eighth (1/8) of one share of JWAC Common Stock, as described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Holders of our public shares who also hold JWAC Rights may elect to redeem their public shares, and still retain their JWAC Rights. The value of our JWAC Rights based on a recent trading price as of November 4, 2022 was $1.5 million. Public stockholders who redeem their shares of JWAC Common Stock may continue to hold any JWAC Rights that they owned prior to redemption, which results in additional dilution to non-redeeming holders upon exercise of such JWAC Rights.

As indicated by the foregoing reduction in expected prices upon maximum redemptions, there are material risks relating to electing to redeem your public shares (and redemptions generally), relating to the value of your JWAC Rights. For more information see “Risk Factors — Our holders of JWAC Rights may elect to redeem their public shares while retaining their JWAC Rights, although if redemptions exceed the threshold allowable for us to consummate the Business Combination, the JWAC Rights will expire worthless.”

For information about the per share value of JWAC Common Stock given different levels of redemptions, see “Questions and Answers — What equity stake will current stockholders of JWAC and the Chijet Holders hold in Pubco after the Closing?”

Our JWAC Rights are eligible to be converted at the Effective Time of the Business Combination into JWAC Common Stock, as described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Accordingly, your JWAC Rights will cease to be traded upon consummation of the Business Combination, and will only have value based on the value of Pubco Ordinary Shares which the holder is eligible to receive upon closing of the Business Combination. Because redemptions will deplete our Trust Account, and the assets of Pubco would be calculated, in part, based on the cash in the Trust Account at the Closing, an increase in redemptions of our public shares would reduce the assets available from the Trust Account to Pubco at Closing which may negatively impact the value of Pubco Ordinary Shares that you would receive in exchange for your JWAC Rights.

The JWAC Certificate of Incorporation does not provide a specified maximum redemption threshold, except that in no event will we redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon consummation of the Business Combination and after payment of underwriters’ fees and commissions or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement which may be contained in the agreement relating to our initial business combination. In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all shares of JWAC Class A common stock that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed Business Combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the Business Combination or redeem any shares, all shares of Class A common stock submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof, and we instead may search for an alternate business combination.

If in excess of the maximum redemptions occur, and as a result we are unable to consummate the Business Combination, because your JWAC Rights are only exercisable or convertible following a business combination, if we do not consummate a business combination by March 9, 2023 (or such later date as may be extended by means of a further contribution to the Trust Account in accordance with the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation or amendment to such certificate), and we liquidate the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of rights will not receive any such funds with respect to their rights, nor will they receive any distribution from our assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such rights, and the rights will expire worthless.

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

No. You may exercise your redemption rights whether or not you attend or vote your shares of JWAC Common Stock at the Special Meeting, and regardless of how you vote your shares with respect to the Business Combination Proposal or any other proposal described by this proxy statement/prospectus. As a result, the Business Combination Agreement can be approved by stockholders who will redeem their shares and no longer remain stockholders, leaving stockholders who choose not to redeem their shares holding shares in a company with a potentially less liquid trading market, fewer stockholders, potentially less cash and the potential inability to meet the listing standards of Nasdaq.

Q:	How do I exercise my redemption rights?

In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must, prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on , 2023 (two (2) business days before the Special Meeting), tender your shares physically or electronically and submit a request in writing that we redeem your public shares for cash to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, at the following address:

American Stock Transfer & Trust Company

One State Street Plaza, 30th Floor

New York, New York 10004

Attn:

E-mail:

Stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent and time to effect delivery. It is JWAC’s understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two (2) weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, JWAC does not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two weeks. Stockholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their bank, broker or other nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically.

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

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

JWAC stockholders who exercise their redemption rights to receive cash in exchange for their shares of JWAC Common Stock generally will be required to treat the transaction as a sale of such shares and recognize gain or loss upon the redemption in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received and the tax basis of the shares of such common stock redeemed. Such gain or loss should be treated as capital gain or loss if such shares were held as a capital asset on the date of the redemption. The redemption, however, may be treated as a distribution to a redeeming stockholder for U.S. federal income tax purposes if the redemption does not effect a sufficient reduction (as determined under applicable federal income tax law) in the redeeming stockholder’s percentage ownership in us (whether such ownership is direct or through the application of certain attribution and constructive ownership rules). Any amounts treated as such a distribution will constitute a dividend to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits as measured for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any amounts treated as a distribution and that are in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits will reduce the redeeming stockholder’s basis in his or her redeemed shares of JWAC Common Stock, and any remaining amount will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of JWAC Common Stock. These tax consequences are described in more detail in the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.” We urge you to consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of exercising your redemption rights.

Q:	What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences if I do not exercise my redemption rights and instead participate in the Business Combination?

It is intended that the Business Combination will qualify as part of an exchange described in Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the Code. If the Business Combination qualifies as part of an exchange described in Section 351, then U.S. Holders (as defined in the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”) of JWAC Common Stock who do not exercise their redemption rights and who participate in the Business Combination generally will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the exchange of JWAC Common Stock for Pubco Ordinary Shares. You are strongly urged to consult with a tax advisor to determine the particular U.S. federal, state or local or foreign income or other tax consequences of your participation in the Business Combination. See “The Business Combination Proposal — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

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

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

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

A:	Under the DGCL, there are no appraisal rights available to holders of shares of JWAC Common Stock or holders of our rights in connection with the Business Combination.

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

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

●

JWAC stockholders who properly exercise their redemption rights;

●

deferred underwriting fees owed to I-Bankers in connection with the Business Combination;

●

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

●

any loans owed by JWAC to its Sponsor for any JWAC transaction expenses or other administrative expenses incurred by JWAC; and

●

for general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, maintenance or expansion of operations of post-transaction businesses, to fund the purchase of other companies or working capital for operations.

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

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

If, as a result of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement or otherwise, JWAC is unable to complete the Business Combination or another initial business combination transaction by March 9, 2023 (or such later date as may be extended by means of a further contribution to the Trust Account in accordance with the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation or amendment to such certificate), the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation provides that it will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account net of interest not previously released to JWAC to pay taxes payable and up to $50,000 to pay dissolution expenses, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Holders of founder shares have waived any right to any liquidation distribution with respect to those shares.

In the event of liquidation, there will be no distribution with respect to JWAC’s outstanding rights. Accordingly, the rights will expire worthless.

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

A:	The closing is expected to take place in the first half of 2023.

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

Q:	What will JWAC stockholders receive in the Business Combination?

Upon completion of the Business Combination, each outstanding share of JWAC Class A Common Stock will be exchanged for Pubco Ordinary Share. Each share of JWAC Class B Common Stock will be automatically converted into applicable shares of JWAC Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Business Combination. Shares held by JWAC as treasury stock or that are owned by JWAC, which we refer to as the JWAC excluded shares, will not be exchanged and will be cancelled.

Q:	If I am a JWAC Rights Holder, will my rights become exchangeable for shares of Pubco Common Stock if the Business Combination is consummated?

Yes. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and the terms of the JWAC rights, each JWAC right will be exchanged for one-eighth (1/8) of one share of JWAC Class A Common Stock, and these shares will be exchanged for Pubco Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Merger (and subsequent to such exchange the exchanged JWAC Class A Common Stock will be cancelled). However, in the event that JWAC does not consummate a business combination by March 9, 2023 (or such later date as may be extended by means of a further contribution to the Trust Account in accordance with the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation or amendment to such certificate), JWAC will be required to liquidate and any JWAC rights you own will expire without value.

JWAC will not issue fractional shares of our Class A Common Stock in exchange for rights, but will instruct the rights agent to round up for each Rights Holder the amount of our Class A Common Stock to be received by that Rights Holder to the nearest whole share.

Q:	I am a Rights Holder, and how do I receive stock in the Merger?

As soon as practicable after the Business Combination, according to the terms of the Rights, JWAC will direct holders of the Rights to return their certificate of Rights to our rights agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “rights agent”). Upon receipt of a valid certificate of Rights, the rights agent will issue to the registered Rights Holder a certificate (or certificates) or book-entry position for the number of shares, being full shares, of JWAC Common Stock to which that Rights Holder is entitled, aggregated on a per Rights Holder basis, in such name or names as may be directed by the Rights Holders. In no event will there be an issuance of net cash to settle the Rights, and JWAC and Pubco will not issue fractional shares to such Rights Holder. JWAC will instruct the rights agent to round down to the nearest whole share of JWAC Common Stock, when the rights agent issues to the registered Rights Holder a certificate for the number of shares of JWAC Common Stock to which that Rights Holder is registered. JWAC and the rights agent will then exchange those shares of JWAC Common Stock for Pubco Ordinary Shares as discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus. In the interests of efficiency and to avoid duplication of certificates, JWAC may instruct the rights agent to issue a certificate of Pubco Ordinary Shares to the Rights Holder, without the Rights Holder having again to exchange a certificate of JWAC Common Stock for Pubco Ordinary Shares.

Q:	If the Business Combination is completed, when can I expect to receive the Pubco Common Stock for my shares of JWAC Common Stock?

After the consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco’s transfer agent will send instructions to JWAC security holders regarding the exchange of their JWAC securities for Pubco securities. JWAC stockholders who exercise their redemption rights must deliver their stock certificates to JWAC’s transfer agent (either physically or electronically) at least two (2) business days prior to the vote at the Special Meeting.

Upon effectiveness of the Business Combination, all of the outstanding JWAC Class B Common Stock will be converted into JWAC Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as provided the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation. Hence, upon consummation of the Business Combination, JWAC Common Stock will consist of our Class A Common Stock, which will be exchanged for Pubco Ordinary Shares.

Q:	How much cash will be available to Pubco following the closing of the Business Combination, assuming maximum and minimum redemptions? To what extent will Pubco need to secure additional financing in connection with the Business Combination following the Business Combination?

Following the closing of the Business Combination, it is currently anticipated that Pubco will have available to it approximately $140 million of cash from the Trust Account, after payment of estimated expenses and assuming no redemptions are made by JWAC public stockholders prior to the closing of the Business Combination, or approximately $140 million of cash from the Trust Account, after payment of estimated expenses and assuming that the maximum amount of redemptions are made by JWAC public stockholders prior to the closing of the Business Combination.

The Sponsor has made certain commitments regarding funding of the Company. The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company, if and to the extent any claims by a vendor 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 amounts in the Trust Account to below $10.157 per share (whether or not the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full), 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 in the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. 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 seeks to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except for the company’s independent registered accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

JWAC has entered into an extension loan, funding the Trust Account for $1,400,000 in exchange for an unsecured promissory note, which we refer to as the extension loan. The funds for the extension were advanced by Chijet in exchange for a promissory note, with a similar extension loan to be made three months from such date in the same amount by Chijet. The extension loans, along with the other funds in the Trust Account will be distributed either to: (i) all of the holders of public shares upon our liquidation or (ii) holders of public shares who elect to have their shares redeemed in connection with the consummation of our initial Business Combination. The extension loans bear no interest and are repayable in full upon the consummation of our Business Combination. If the Company does not complete the Business Combination by March 9, 2023 (or such later date as may be extended by means of a further contribution to the Trust Account in accordance with the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation or amendment to such certificate), the loans will not be repaid.

In order to meet JWAC’s working capital needs, the Sponsor or its affiliates, or our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, and which we refer to as working capital loans. Each such loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The notes would either be paid upon consummation of our initial business combination, without interest, or, at a holder’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of the notes may be converted into units at a price of $10.00 per unit. If JWAC does not complete a business combination, JWAC may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay these loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay these loans.

There were no amounts outstanding relating to working capital loans at October 31, 2022. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”

Following the Business Combination, assuming no redemptions are made prior to the Closing, the Combined Entity believes it will have enough cash on its balance sheet to finance operations. In the event of maximum redemptions, we may be in need of raising additional financing. We expect that from time to time we may need to raise additional financing to maintain our operations, and from time to time we may wish to raise additional financing in order to take advantage of business opportunities. To the extent we need or wish to raise such additional financing, our access to commercial bank financing or the debt and equity capital markets may be limited by various factors, including the condition of overall credit and capital markets, general economic factors, the state of the industry, our financial performance, credit ratings, and other factors. Commercial credit and debt and equity capital may not be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. While Chijet is in continuing discussions with several potential lenders, no commitments for financing have been obtained to date, and there can be no assurances that any such financing will be consummated on terms acceptable to Chijet, if at all.

Q:	What do I need to do now?

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

If you hold membership interests of Chijet, you may execute and return your written consent to Chijet in accordance with the instructions provided.

Q:	How do I vote?

If you were a holder of record of JWAC Common Stock or JWAC Class B Common Stock on , 2023, the Record Date, you may vote with respect to the Proposals in person (including by virtual attendance) at the Special Meeting, or by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the Special Meeting and vote in person (or by virtual attendance), obtain a proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.

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

A:	Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal and the Charter Amendments Proposal.

Abstentions will have no effect on the remaining Proposals in a special meeting with a duly called quorum.

A “broker non-vote” occurs when shares held by a broker for the account of a beneficial owner are not voted for or against a particular proposal because the broker has not received voting instructions from that beneficial owner and the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote those shares in the absence of such instructions. If you do not provide instructions to your broker, your broker will not have discretionary authority to vote on any of the Proposals at the Special Meeting, because JWAC does not expect any of the Proposals to be considered a routine matter. Broker non-votes will not be counted as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum.

Broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal and the Charter Amendments Proposal. At a meeting with a quorum, broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote on the remaining Proposals.

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

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

Q:	If I am not going to attend the Special Meeting in person (or by virtual attendance), should I return my proxy card instead?

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

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

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

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

Yes. You may change your vote by sending a later-dated, signed proxy card to JWAC’s secretary at the address listed below so that it is received by JWAC’s secretary prior to the Special Meeting or virtually attend the Special Meeting in person and vote. You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to JWAC’s secretary, which must be received by JWAC’s secretary prior to the Special Meeting.

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

JWAC will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Special Meeting. JWAC has engaged [Proxy Solicitor], which we refer to as “[Proxy Solicitor],” to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Special Meeting. JWAC has agreed to pay [Proxy Solicitor] a fee of $ , plus disbursements. JWAC will reimburse [Proxy Solicitor] for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify [Proxy Solicitor] and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. JWAC will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of shares of JWAC Common Stock for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of the JWAC Common Stock and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. JWAC’s directors and officers may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies.

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

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

The Business Combination and the Business Combination Agreement

On October 25, 2022, JWAC entered into the Business Combination Agreement by and among JWAC, Pubco, Merger Sub, the Sellers and Chijet. The Business Combination Agreement provides for the combination of JWAC and Chijet under Pubco, a new holding company, as its direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries. Pursuant to the Business Combination and Business Combination Agreement (a) Pubco will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Chijet from the Sellers in exchange for ordinary shares of Pubco, and any shares Chijet holds in Pubco shall be surrendered for no consideration, such that Chijet becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco and the Sellers become shareholders of Pubco, which we refer to as the Share Exchange; and immediately thereafter (b) Merger Sub will merge with and into JWAC, with JWAC continuing as the surviving entity and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco. For more information about the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, please see the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal—Business Combination Agreement.” A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Transaction Consideration

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, in connection with the Effective Time of the Business Combination:

(i)	each of the outstanding shares of JWAC Common Stock will be exchanged for the right to receive one Pubco Ordinary Share (and following such exchange the share of JWAC Common Stock will be cancelled),

(ii)	each outstanding share of JWAC’s Class B Common Stock, according to JWAC’s Certificate of Incorporation, will be converted into one share of JWAC Common Stock, immediately prior to the Effective Time, and exchanged for a Pubco Ordinary Share in accordance with subsection (i) above; and

(iii)

the registered holder of JWAC Rights will be issued the number of full shares of JWAC Common Stock to which such holder of JWAC Rights is eligible, and which shall be exchanged for the equivalent number of Pubco Ordinary Shares, in accordance with subsection (i) above; and

(iv)

the Sellers will receive the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares in the Share Exchange that shall have an aggregate value equal to One Billion Six Hundred Million Dollars ($1,600,000,000), subject to certain Sellers having an earnout (the “Earnout”) which would adjust downwards the consideration they receive by up to Six Hundred Seventy Four Million ($674,000,000) based on certain post-Closing financial performance and stock price metrics of Pubco, described below, and all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.

In connection with the Earnout, the holders of JWAC Common Stock shall receive a contingent value rights, or CVR, for each share of JWAC Common Stock exchanged as described above, to compensate the holders of JWAC Common Stock in the event the Earnout criteria is not met by the Sellers, which would result in an adjustment to the consideration provided to Sellers, except that holders of privately placed JWAC Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (including the Sponsor, its transferees and I-Bankers) have waived their rights to receive a CVR relating to those privately placed shares.

As JWAC does not have any outstanding shares of preferred stock, and is anticipated to have no outstanding shares of preferred stock at the Effective Time, no exchange of preferred stock is expected to occur at the Effective Time.

A party is not entitled to terminate the Business Combination Agreement if the failure of the Closing to occur by such date was caused by or the result of a breach of the Business Combination Agreement by such party (or with respect to Chijet, by the Sellers, Pubco or Merger Sub).

If the Business Combination Agreement is terminated, all further obligations of the parties under the Business Combination Agreement will terminate and will be of no further force and effect (except that certain obligations related to public announcements, confidentiality, fees and expenses, waiver of claims against the trust, termination and certain general provisions will continue in effect), and no party will have any further liability to any other party thereto except for liability for any fraud claims or willful breach of the Business Combination Agreement prior to such termination.

Related Agreements

This section describes the material provisions of certain additional agreements entered into or to be entered into pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and which we refer to as Related Agreements, but does not purport to describe all of their terms. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of each of these Related Agreements, which are included as exhibits to this proxy/statement prospectus. You are urged to read such Related Agreements in their entirety.

Sponsor Support Agreement

Simultaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, JWAC, Chijet, Pubco and the Sponsor entered into a sponsor support agreement, in which, among other things, these parties agreed to (i) not to solicit or cause JWAC to enter into any alternative competing transactions, (ii) to vote all of their founder shares and all of the public shares held by them in favor of the Business Combination and in opposition of any alternative competing transactions and (iii) a moratorium, or lock-up, on selling shares which was substantially the same as that entered into by the Sponsor in connection with our IPO.

Simultaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company, Pubco, Chijet and the Sponsor, as well as Join Surplus International Ltd. (“Join Surplus”), and I-Bankers (collectively with the Sponsor and Join Surplus, the “Support Agreement Parties”) entered into a support agreement pursuant to which the Sponsor Support Agreement Parties agreed to support the Business Combination and to vote all of its shares of JWAC Common Stock (and any other securities of JWAC owned or acquired by them) in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination. The Sponsor Support Agreement Parties also agreed to take certain other actions in support of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination and to refrain from taking such actions that would adversely impede the ability of the parties to perform the Business Combination Agreement. The Support Agreement also prevents transfers of JWAC Common Stock and JWAC securities held by the Sponsor Support Agreement Parties between the date of the Support Agreement and the date of the Closing or earlier termination of the Business Combination Agreement unless the transferee executes a joinder to the Support Agreement.

The Sponsor also agreed to be bound by and comply with the provisions of the Business Combination Agreement relating to Chijet’s funding of a potential Extension and, upon and subject to the funding of such an Extension by Chijet in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, to issue to Chijet the relevant limited liability company membership interests in the Sponsor.

Each of the Sponsor and Join Surplus, solely in connection with the Business Combination, agreed to waive certain anti-dilution provisions under JWAC’s governing documents relating to the conversion of JWAC’s Class B Common Stock. The Support Agreement Parties, solely in connection with the Business Combination, each agreed to waive the right to receive CVRs for JWAC’s Class A Common Stock which they received in a private placement from the Company or upon conversion of JWAC’s Class B Common Stock.

Each of the Support Agreement Parties, on behalf of itself and its affiliates, provided a general release of JWAC, Pubco, Chijet and Merger Sub, effective as of the Closing, other than with respect to rights under the Business Combination Agreement and ancillary documents and certain other customary exceptions.

Lock-Up Agreement

In connection with our IPO, JWAC Initial Stockholders, including our Sponsor, have agreed in a lock-up agreement not to transfer, assign or sell any of JWAC Class B Common Stock (except to certain permitted transferees) until the earlier of (i) six months after the date of the consummation of a Business Combination, (ii) the date on which the closing price of Pubco Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period from the Closing until such six months after a Business Combination or (iii) if, earlier, the date the Combined Company consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Combined Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property.

During the period of the lock-up agreement, the JWAC Initial Stockholders also agreed not to, with respect to Pubco Ordinary Shares, subject to customary exceptions (i) lend, offer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, donate, assign, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, such stock, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such stock, or (iii) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing, whether any such transaction described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above is to be settled by delivery of such stock of Pubco or other securities, in cash or otherwise.

Chijet Lock-Up Agreement

In connection with the signing of the BCA, certain Chijet Holders holding approximately 78% of the Chijet Ordinary Shares and certain members of Chijet’s management team entered into a lock-up agreement, effecive as of the Closing, with Pubco substantially similar to the lock-up agreement between us and the JWAC Initial Stockholders. “The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — Chijet Lock-Up Agreement.”

Registration Rights

The Business Combination Agreement provides that effective as of the Closing, JWAC, Pubco, the Sellers, and the holders of a majority of the “Registrable Securities” pursuant to the registration rights agreement which we entered into in connection with our IPO (our “existing registration rights holders”), will enter into an amended and restated registration rights agreement. This amended agreement will provide registrations rights covering all of the Pubco Ordinary Shares these parties receive in the Business Combination (including those received upon conversion of our Class B Common Stock), subject to applicable contractual transfer restrictions and lock-up periods. The Sellers holding a majority of securities having the Sellers’ registration rights, or a majority of our existing registration rights holders, are in each case entitled after the Business Combination to demand that we register those securities. All of the registration rights holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a business combination and rights to require us to register for resale those securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidating damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the securities.

Chijet Trust Account Waiver

Chijet has agreed that it and its affiliates will not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in JWAC’s Trust Account, and agreed not to, and waived any right to, make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) directly or indirectly.

Non-Competition Agreement

At the Closing, certain of the executive officers of Chijet will each enter into a Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement in substantially the form attached as a schedule to the Business Combination Agreement.

Total Shares to be Issued in the Business Combination

JWAC’s public stockholders currently own approximately 76.0% of JWAC’s issued and outstanding capital stock, and the Sponsor together with our directors and officers, consisting of JWAC Initial Stockholders, currently own approximately 21.7% of JWAC’s issued and outstanding capital stock (with the remaining approximately 2.3% of shares held by I-Bankers). It is anticipated that, immediately after the Business Combination and if there are no redemptions, JWAC’s public stockholders will own approximately 8.8% of Pubco’s issued and outstanding share capital, the Sponsor and our directors and officers will own approximately 2.4% of Pubco’s issued and outstanding share capital, I-Bankers will own approximately 0.2% of Pubco’s issued and outstanding share capital, and the Chijet Holders will own approximately 88.8% of Pubco’s issued and outstanding share capital.

For a Description of Pubco’s securities, see the section entitled “Description of Securities of Pubco” which provides a description of Pubco Ordinary Shares.

If any of JWAC’s public stockholders exercise their redemption rights, the ownership interest in Pubco of JWAC’s public stockholders will decrease and the ownership interest in Pubco of the Chijet Holders and the Sponsor will increase. If there are redemptions by JWAC’s public stockholders up to the maximum level that would permit completion of the Business Combination, JWAC’s public stockholders will own 1.1% of Pubco’s issued and outstanding capital stock, the Sponsor and our directors and officers will own approximately 2.4% of Pubco’s issued and outstanding share capital, I-Bankers will own 0.3% of Pubco’s issued and outstanding share capital and the Chijet Holders will own approximately 96.2% of Pubco’s issued and outstanding share capital. If the actual facts are different than these assumptions (based on redemptions by JWAC’s public stockholders, changes in the terms of the Business Combination, adjustments to the Transaction Consideration pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement or otherwise), the percentage ownership interests in Pubco post-Business Combination may be different.

The ownership percentages referenced above and set forth below with respect to Pubco include the shares issuable to the Chijet Holders, assumes Rights Holders exercise all of their JWAC Rights, and any Earnout Shares which otherwise would adjust downwards the consideration they receive by up to Six Hundred Seventy Four Million ($674 million) based on certain post-Closing financial performance and stock price metrics of Pubco, and all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the BCA, but does not take into account (i) any shares reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan, (ii) the issuance of any additional private placement units that are issued or issuable to our Sponsor pursuant to the conversion of the Sponsor’s up to $1.5 million working capital loans that were made to JWAC, (iii) any adjustments to the Transaction Consideration payable to the Chijet Holders set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, (iv) any shares issued upon the exercise of the Representative Warrant, (v) any shares issued upon the exercise of GT Warrant (vi) the 300,000 shares of JWAC Common Stock issuable to JWAC’s officers and directors within 10 days following the closing of the Business Combination, which shall be exchanged for the equivalent number of Pubco Ordinary Shares, and (vii) the 200,000 shares of Pubco Ordinary Shares issuable to Greentree due to the conversion of Baoya’s accrued expenses of $1,000,000 pursuant to the financial consulting agreements with Greentree. These percentages are calculated based on a number of assumptions (as described in this proxy statement/prospectus) and are subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. For a discussion of these assumptions, see “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus— The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — Transaction Consideration.”

If the actual facts are different than these assumptions (which they are likely to be), the percentage ownership in Pubco will be different. See “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus – Impact of the Business Combination on JWAC’s Public Float” and “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Combined Financial Information” for further information.

The following table illustrates varying ownership levels of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Pubco, assuming varying levels of redemptions by JWAC’s public stockholders:

Total Shares at closing		177,478	100.0	%		169,715	100.0	%		163,780	100.0	%

	(1)	The number of Pubco Ordinary Shares to be held by Chijet Holders in the no redemption scenario includes 157,519,170 shares to be issued to the Sellers for all issued and outstanding Chijet Ordinary Shares at closing of the Business Combination.

JWAC’s Reasons for the Business Combination

JWAC was organized for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses. JWAC has sought to capitalize on the ability of its management team to identify, acquire and partner with management to operate a business.

The Board, in evaluating the Business Combination, consulted with JWAC’s management and legal, accounting and financial advisors. In reaching its unanimous resolution (i) that the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of JWAC and its stockholders and (ii) to recommend that JWAC’s stockholders adopt the Business Combination Agreement and approve the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the Board considered a range of factors, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed below.

In light of the number and wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination, the Board did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that it considered in reaching its determination and supporting its decision. The Board viewed its decision as being based on any and all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by it. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. This explanation of JWAC’s reasons for the Business Combination and all other information presented in this section may be forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Many factors were considered by JWAC, and the factors outlined herein may or may not have been considered by any particular directors, member of management, or advisor of JWAC. Notwithstanding whether any of these factors were considered by any individual board member, the Board voted unanimously to proceed with the transaction.

The officers and directors of JWAC have substantial experience in a wide range of industries and are confident that their experience and background, together with the experience of JWAC’s advisors, enabled them to exercise the necessary business judgment to make the determinations regarding the Business Combination. The Board also obtained the AlixPartners’ Report, described below, prior to the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, relating to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to JWAC of the Transaction Consideration to be paid to the equity holders of Chijet in the Business Combination.

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

●

Growth Prospects. Analytical data suggests that consumers are receptive to vehicles using alternative fuel and energy sources. The transition to vehicles powered by cleaner forms of energy and regulation thereof in certain geographic regions bodes well for adoption of Chijet’s technology on a significant scale;

●

Broad Customer Base. Given the auto industry and electric vehicle industry particulars, Chijet has a broad potential customer base across multiple continents and industries, especially those regions with higher energy prices and taxes on carbon emitting energy sources;

●

Due Diligence. Business, financial and technical due diligence examinations of Chijet and discussions with Chijet’s management team were conducted, including extensive in-person meetings and calls with Chijet’s management team and its representatives regarding Chijet’s operations and financial prospects, technical analysis. Additional legal and technical review of Chijet’s material contracts, intellectual property and labor matters was conducted. In addition, JWAC engaged AlixPartners, a firm with an expertise in the auto industry to give it access to the report that such firm had prepared for Deep Medicine Acquisition Corp (DMAQ) in its proposed business combination with Chijet. Members of JWAC’s board had several calls with members of AlixPartners to discuss their findings, as well as to ask specific questions relating to its findings in such report. Such due diligence examination of Chijet, in consultation with JWAC’s legal, technical, and financial advisors, indicated to JWAC management that Chijet could assemble the required elements to create a foundation for a potentially very successful vehicle company;

●

Stockholder Liquidity. The obligation in the Business Combination Agreement to have Pubco Ordinary Shares issued as merger consideration listed on the Nasdaq, a major U.S. stock exchange, which the Board believes has the potential to offer JWAC stockholders enhanced liquidity following the Business Combination;

●

Management Team Continuity. Chijet’s senior management team including Liu Shengwang, Wang Xiangyin, Fang Jun, Li Na, and Wang Xinjian, intend to remain with the Combined Company in the capacity of officers following the Business Combination, providing beneficial continuity in advancing Chijet’s strategic and growth goals;

●

Lock-Up. Key Chijet Holders (including its management team) agreed to be subject to lockup provisions of 6 months in respect of their Pubco Ordinary Shares (subject to certain customary exceptions), which would provide important stability to the Combined Company;

●

Valuation Report. On September 30, 2022, JWAC engaged Stanton Park for the benefit of its Board in connection with the consideration by the Board of the Business Combination between JWAC and Chijet pursuant to which JWAC would acquire all or substantially all of the assets and business of Chijet (the “Acquired Business”) in consideration of the issuance of common stock of the surviving company. Stanton Park had previously prepared a fairness report for DMAQ in connection with its proposed acquisition of Chijet. Subject to various agreed procedures, terms, conditions, assumptions, qualifications and limitations, Stanton Park valued the Acquired Business and, at the request of the Board, on October 24, 2022, rendered its formal written opinion, which we refer to as the “Stanton Park Opinion,” that as of that date the price of $1,650,000,000 (rounded) is fair for the shareholders of JWAC. See discussion under “—The Business Combination Proposal: Stanton Park Opinion.” The full text of the opinion is included with this proxy statement/prospectus; All descriptions of and disclosures concerning the Stanton Park Opinion are qualified in their entirety by reference to the specific text of the Stanton Park Opinion, a copy of which is included as Annex D to this proxy statement/prospectus. The included copy is provided only for informational purposes and is not for the benefit of or to be relied on by any person or entity other than the Board;

●

Other Alternatives. The Board believes, after a thorough review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to JWAC that the proposed Business Combination represents the most promising potential business combination for JWAC and the most attractive opportunity based upon the process utilized to evaluate and assess other potential acquisition targets. Given the demand for electric and traditional fuel vehicles and Chijet’s proprietary process, customers and customer pipeline, JWAC’s Board believes Chijet offers its stockholders the most potential value when compared to other target candidates; and

●

Negotiated Transaction. The financial and other terms of the Business Combination Agreement and the fact that such terms and conditions are reasonable and were the product of arm’s length negotiations between JWAC and Chijet.

The Board also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination including, but not limited to, the following:

●

Macroeconomic Risks. Macroeconomic uncertainty, including the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the effects it could have on Chijet’s revenues post-closing;

●

Business Plan and Growth Initiatives May Not Be Achieved. The risk that Chijet may not be able to execute on its business plan and realize the potential financial performance presented to JWAC’s management team, or that Chijet’s growth initiatives may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe. Although JWAC’s board was provided access to Chijet’s investor presentation summarizing the company’s plans for medium and long term growth, as analyzed in the due diligence performed by AlixPartners, those plans were believed to be subject to significant uncertainty due to several factors, including but not limited to fluctuation in global fuel and energy prices, legal and regulatory risks, lack of legal certainty in certain international markets, market access limitations favoring legacy vehicle production enterprises, uncertainties relating to timing and scale of alternative electric vehicle adoption, competition from other vehicle providers, and uncertainty relating to Chijet’s ability to optimize operational efficiency. Additionally, although JWAC’s board received certain preliminary sales estimates, these estimates were prepared by Chijet based upon certain assumptions, and there can be no assurance as to whether such projections will be achieved;

●

Redemption Risk. The potential that a significant number of JWAC stockholders elect to redeem their shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and pursuant to the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation, which would potentially make the Business Combination more difficult or impossible to complete;

●

Stockholder Vote. The risk that JWAC’s stockholders may fail to provide the votes necessary to effect the Business Combination;

●

Closing Conditions. The fact that the completion of the Business Combination is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not within JWAC’s control;

●

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

●

Listing Risks. The challenges associated with preparing Chijet, a private entity, for the applicable disclosure and listing requirements to which the Combined Company will be subject as a publicly traded company on the Nasdaq;

●

Benefits May Not Be Achieved. The risks that the potential benefits of the Business Combination may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe;

●

Liquidation of JWAC. The risks and costs to JWAC if the Business Combination is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other business combination opportunities, which could result in JWAC being unable to effect a business combination by March 9, 2023 or such later date as may be extended by means of a further contribution to the Trust Account in accordance with the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation or amendment to such certificate, the termination date under the Business Combination Agreement (the “Outside Date”);

●

Regulatory Risks. The risks to the adoption of Chijet’s technology included, among others, in the section entitled “Government Regulation of Our Business” included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, which are subject to change;

●

Board and Independent Committees. The risk that the Combined Company’s board of directors post- Closing and independent committees do not possess adequate skills set within the context of the Combined Company operating as a public company;

●

Holders of JWAC Common Stock, and JWAC Rights Receiving a Minority Position in the Combined Company. The risk that JWAC stockholders will hold a minority position in the Combined Company;

●

Fees and Expenses. The fees and expenses associated with completing the Business Combination; and

●

Other Risk Factors. Various other risk factors associated with the business of Chijet, as described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The above discussion of the material factors considered by the Board is not intended to be exhaustive, but does set forth the principal factors considered by the Board.

The Board concluded that the potential benefits expected to be achieved by JWAC and its stockholders resulting from the Business Combination outweighed the potentially negative factors associated with the Business Combination. Accordingly, the Board determined that the Business Combination was advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, JWAC and its stockholders.

Quorum and Required Vote for Proposals for the Special Meeting

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

Approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Charter Amendments Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of JWAC Common Stock as of the Record Date. Accordingly, a JWAC stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting or an abstention will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal and Charter Amendments Proposal.

The approval of the remaining Proposals (consisting of the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the Advisory Charter Amendments Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal) each requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by stockholders present in person (including by virtual attendance) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting. Accordingly, a JWAC stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting or the failure of a JWAC stockholder who holds his or her shares in “street name” through a broker or other nominee to give voting instructions to such broker or other nominee (a “broker non-vote”) will result in that stockholder’s shares not being counted towards the number of shares of JWAC Common Stock required to validly establish a quorum, but if a valid quorum is otherwise established, it will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the Advisory Charter Amendments Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal. Abstentions of persons appearing at the Special Meeting likewise will also have no effect on the outcome of these proposals.

The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement will be consummated only if the Condition Precedent Proposals (consisting of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendments Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal) are approved at the Special Meeting. The Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals and the Adjournment Proposal are not Condition Precedent Proposals for consummation of the Business Combination, and the Adjournment Proposal does not require the approval of any other proposal to be effective.

It is important for you to note that in the event that the Business Combination Proposal and the other Condition Precedent Proposals do not receive the requisite vote for approval, after taking into account any approved adjournment or postponement, if necessary, then we will not consummate the Business Combination. If we do not consummate the Business Combination and fail to complete an initial business combination by March 9, 2023 (or such later date as may be extended by means of a further contribution to the Trust Account in accordance with the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation or amendment to such certificate), we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public stockholders.

The Proposals

The Business Combination Proposal

On October 25, 2022, JWAC entered into the Business Combination Agreement by and among JWAC, Pubco, Merger Sub, the Sellers and Chijet.

The Business Combination Agreement provides for the combination of JWAC and Chijet under Pubco, a new holding company, as its direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries. Pursuant to the Business Combination and Business Combination Agreement (a) Pubco will acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital shares of Chijet from the Sellers in exchange for ordinary shares of Pubco, and any shares Chijet holds in Pubco shall be surrendered for no consideration, such that Chijet becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco and the Sellers become shareholders of Pubco, which we refer to as the Share Exchange; and immediately thereafter (b) Merger Sub will merge with and into JWAC, with JWAC continuing as the surviving entity and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco. The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the Merger we refer to herein as the “Business Combination.” A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/ prospectus as Annex A.

Transaction Consideration

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, in connection with the Effective Time of the Business Combination:

(iii)

each of the outstanding shares of JWAC Common Stock will be exchanged for the right to receive one Pubco Ordinary Share (and following such exchange the share of JWAC Common Stock will be cancelled),

(iv)

each outstanding share of JWAC’s Class B Common Stock, according to JWAC’s Certificate of Incorporation, will be converted into one share of JWAC Common Stock, immediately prior to the Effective Time, and exchanged for a Pubco Ordinary Share in accordance with subsection (i) above; and

(iii)

(iv)

the Sellers will receive the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares in the Share Exchange that shall have an aggregate value equal to One Billion Six Hundred Million Dollars ($1,600,000,000), subject to certain Sellers having an earnout (the “Earnout”) which would adjust downwards the consideration they receive by up to Six Hundred Seventy Four Million ($674 million) based on certain post-Closing financial performance and stock price metrics of Pubco, described below, and all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.

In addition, according to the terms of GT Warrant granted by Baoya to Greentree, GT Warrant will be replaced with an equivalent warrant exercisable into Pubco Ordinary Shares.

In connection with the Earnout, the holders of JWAC Common Stock shall receive a contingent value rights, or CVR, for each share of JWAC Common Stock exchanged as described above, to compensate the holders of JWAC Common Stock in the event the Earnout criteria is not met by the Sellers which would result in an adjustment to the consideration provided to Sellers, except that holders of privately placed JWAC Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (including the Sponsor, its transferees and I-Bankers) have waived their rights to receive a CVR relating to those privately placed shares.

For further explanation of the consideration in the Business Combination, see the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1) — Transaction Consideration.”

Closing Conditions and Termination Rights

In addition to the approval of the Proposals at the Special Meeting, unless waived by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, in accordance with applicable law, the Closing of the Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement including, among others, receipt of the requisite stockholder approval contemplated by this proxy statement/prospectus.

Termination Rights

The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing by either JWAC or Chijet if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to March 9, 2023 (or such later date as may be extended by means of a further contribution to the Trust Account in accordance with the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation or amendment to such certificate). However, a party is not entitled to terminate the Business Combination Agreement if the failure of the Closing to occur by such date was caused by or the result of a breach of the Business Combination Agreement by such party (or with respect to Chijet, by the Sellers, Pubco or Merger Sub).

The Business Combination Agreement may also be terminated under certain other customary and limited circumstances prior the Closing, including, among other reasons: (i) by mutual written consent of JWAC and Chijet; (ii) by either JWAC or Chijet if a governmental authority of competent jurisdiction has issued an order or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Business Combination, and such order or other action has become final and non-appealable; (iii) by Chijet for JWAC’s uncured breach of the Business Combination Agreement, if the breach by JWAC causing any of JWAC’s representations, covenants or agreements to become untrue or materially inaccurate which would result in a failure of its related Closing condition (and which has not been cured within the earlier of 20 days of written notice or March 9, 2023); (iv) by JWAC for the uncured breach of the Business Combination Agreement by Chijet, Pubco, Merger Sub or any Seller, if the breach by such party causing any of such party’s representations, covenants or agreements to become untrue or materially inaccurate which would result in a failure of its related Closing condition (and which has not been cured within the earlier of 20 days of written notice or March 9, 2023); (v) by JWAC if there has been a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) with respect to Chijet or Pubco since the date of the Business Combination Agreement which is uncured and continuing; or (vi) by either JWAC or Chijet if the Business Combination Proposal is not approved at the Special Meeting.

For more information about the termination rights under the Business Combination Agreement, see the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal—Business Combination Agreement—Termination.”

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

The Charter Amendments Proposal

Assuming the Business Combination Proposal is approved, in connection with the Business Combination, JWAC is proposing that its stockholders approve amendments to the Proposed Charter for the following:

	(a)	a single class of ordinary shares with authorized shares;

	(b)	authorized preferred shares; and

	(c)	establishing that the board of directors of Pubco following the Closing of the Business Combination (the “Pubco Board”) will not be divided into classes (with the number of directors of the Pubco Board being initially fixed at seven, as discussed under “The Business Combination Proposal—Appointments of Directors”).

Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals

Assuming the Business Combination Proposal and other Condition Precedent Proposals are approved, JWAC’s stockholders are also being asked to approve the Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals in connection with the Proposed Charter. In accordance with SEC guidance, this proposal is being presented separately and will be voted upon on a non-binding advisory basis.

A summary of these provisions is set forth in the “Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals (Proposal 3)” section of this proxy statement/prospectus and a complete copy of these provisions is attached hereto as Annex B. You are encouraged to read them in their entirety.

The Nasdaq Proposal

JWAC is asking its stockholders to consider and vote on a proposal to approve, for the purposes of complying with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635, the issuance, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, of up to _________ Pubco Ordinary Shares to Chijet Holders and JWAC stockholders upon the Closing.

The Incentive Plan Proposal

JWAC is asking its stockholders to approve the Incentive Plan, including the authorization of the share reserve under the Incentive Plan equal to five percent (5%) of the aggregate number of Pubco Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing, which will become effective upon the Closing of the Business Combination. The Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock units, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, other stock-based awards and cash-based awards. Incentive stock options (“ISOs”) may be granted only to Pubco’s employees, including officers, and the employees of Pubco’s subsidiaries. All other stock awards may be granted to Pubco’s employees, officers, Pubco’s non-employee directors, and consultants and the employees and consultants of Pubco’s subsidiaries and affiliates.

The Adjournment Proposal

Stanton Park Opinion

On October 9, 2022, JWAC engaged Stanton Park to serve as an independent financial advisor for the benefit of the Board in connection with the consideration by the Board of the Business Combination between JWAC and Chijet pursuant to which JWAC would acquire all or substantially all of the assets and business of Chijet (the “Acquired Business”) in consideration of the issuance of common stock of the surviving company.

Subject to various agreed procedures, terms, conditions, assumptions, qualifications and limitations, Stanton Park valued the Acquired Business and, at the request of the Board, on October 24, 2022, rendered its formal written opinion, which we refer to as the “Stanton Park Opinion,” that as of that date the Transaction Consideration to be paid to the equity holders of Chijet in the Business Combination for the Acquired Business was fair to JWAC and its shareholders from a financial point of view. See discussion under “—The Business Combination Proposal: Stanton Park Opinion.”

The full text of the opinion is included with this proxy statement/prospectus. All descriptions of and disclosures concerning the Stanton Park Opinion are qualified in their entirety by reference to the specific text of the Stanton Park Opinion, a copy of which is included as Annex D to this proxy statement/prospectus. The included copy is provided only for informational purposes and is not for the benefit of or to be relied on by any person or entity other than the Board.

Recommendation to JWAC Stockholders

After careful consideration, our Board has concluded that the Business Combination is in the best interests of JWAC’s stockholders. Our directors believe that the proposals being presented at the Special Meeting are in the best interests of JWAC’s stockholders, and they recommend that JWAC’s stockholders vote FOR each of the proposals.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of JWAC’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of JWAC and its stockholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the proposals. In addition, JWAC’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a stockholder. See the section entitled “—Interests of JWAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Interests of JWAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of our Board in favor of the proposals, you should keep in mind that our directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) your interests as a stockholder. These interests include, among other things:

●

Our Sponsor has agreed to waive its redemption rights with respect to any founder shares, any private placement shares and any public shares held in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination. Additionally, our Sponsor has agreed to waive its redemption rights with respect to any founder shares or private placement shares held by it if we fail to consummate the Business Combination within the required time period. If we do not complete our initial business combination within such applicable time period, the proceeds of the sale of the private placement units held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of our public shares, and the private placement rights (and the underlying securities) will expire worthless. Subject to certain limited exceptions, our sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell 50% of its founder shares until the earlier of (i) six months after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination or (ii) the date on which the closing price of our shares of common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock sub-divisions, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after our initial business combination and the remaining 50% of the founder shares may not be transferred, assigned or sold until six months after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to our initial business combination, we consummate a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. With certain limited exceptions, the private units will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination.

These interests may influence our directors in making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the Business Combination.

Risk Factors

In evaluating the proposals set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus, you should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes and the other documents referred to herein, for a discussion of factors, including the risks to holders of JWAC Common Stock who do not redeem in connection with the Special Meeting, you should consider carefully before making an investment decision.

Accounting Treatment for the Business Combination

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a “reverse recapitalization” in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Under this method of accounting, Pubco will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination is primarily based on Chijet members expecting to have a majority of the voting power of the Combined Company, Chijet comprising the ongoing operations of the Combined Entity, Chijet comprising a majority of the governing body of the Combined Company, and Chijet’s senior management comprising the senior management of the Combined Company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Chijet issuing stock for the net assets of JWAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of JWAC will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of Chijet.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

For a discussion summarizing certain U.S. federal income tax considerations in connection with the Business Combination, please see section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Regulatory Matters

Neither JWAC nor Chijet is aware of any material regulatory approvals or actions that are required for completion of the Business Combination. It is presently contemplated that if any such additional regulatory approvals or actions are required, those approvals or actions will be sought. There can be no assurance, however, that any additional approvals or actions will be obtained.

JWAC Appraisal Rights

Under the DGCL, there are no appraisal rights available to holders of shares of JWAC Common Stock or JWAC Rights in connection with the Business Combination.

Redemption Rights

In connection with the Business Combination, holders of JWAC Common Stock may elect to have their shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share calculated in accordance with the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation. As of September 30, 2022, the pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account for the public shares was approximately $10.157 per share (net of taxes payable). JWAC anticipates the per share redemption price will be approximately $10.157 (net of taxes payable) at the closing of the Business Combination, which is anticipated to occur during the first half of 2023. If a holder exercises its redemption rights, then such holder will be exchanging its shares of JWAC Common Stock for cash and will no longer own shares of JWAC Common Stock and will not participate as a future stockholder of Pubco. Our public stockholders are not required to affirmatively vote for or against the Business Combination in order to redeem their shares of common stock for cash. This means that public stockholders who hold shares of JWAC Common Stock on or before , 2023 (two (2) business days before the Special Meeting) will be eligible to elect to have their shares of JWAC Common Stock redeemed for cash in connection with the Special Meeting, whether or not they are holders as of the Record Date, and whether or not such shares are voted at the Special Meeting. To redeem their shares of JWAC Common Stock for cash, holders of JWAC Common Stock can demand JWAC to convert their public shares into cash and tender their shares to JWAC’s transfer agent in accordance with the procedures described herein. See the section entitled “Special Meeting of JWAC Stockholders – Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your shares for cash. The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement will be consummated only if the Condition Precedent Proposals (consisting of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendments Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal) are approved at the Special Meeting. The Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals and the Adjournment Proposal in each case is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/ prospectus.

Directors and Officers of Pubco following the Business Combination

Upon the Closing, Pubco’s board of directors will consist of seven directors, including two directors designated by JWAC. Chijet will have the right to appoint the remaining members of the seven-member board of directors. At least four directors are required to be independent directors under Nasdaq rules. Upon the Closing, Pubco’s board of directors will not be divided into classes.

Pubco’s directors and executive officers upon consummation of the Business Combination, and their ages, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, will be as follows:

Name Executive Officers and Directors	Age	Position

●

Audited historical consolidated statement of operations of Chijet Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2021.

This information should be read together with Chijet’s and JWAC’s respective unaudited and audited financial statements and related notes, “Chijet’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “JWAC’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and other financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Description of the Transaction

On October 25, 2022, JWAC entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Chijet, Pubco, Merger Sub and the Sellers (JWAC, together with Pubco, shall be referred to as “JWAC” in these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial statements).

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement at its Effective Time:

(a)

all of the outstanding Chijet Ordinary Shares will be exchanged for the right to receive Pubco Ordinary Shares;

(b)

all of the outstanding shares of JWAC Class B Common Stock will automatically be exchanged for JWAC Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time;

(c)

all of the outstanding JWAC Rights will be automatically exercised into JWAC Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time; and

(d)

all of the outstanding shares of JWAC Common Stock will be exchanged for the right to receive Pubco Ordinary Shares, and thereafter such JWAC Common Stock will be cancelled.

The amount of JWAC Rights held by each Rights Holder will be rounded up to the nearest whole share of JWAC Common Stock and this stock shall be exchanged for Pubco Ordinary Shares at the Effective Time. The Representative Warrant held by the Representative shall be exchanged for a substantially equivalent warrant exercisable to purchase Pubco Ordinary Shares. GT Warrant held by Greentree shall be exchanged for a substantially equivalent warrant exercisable to purchase Pubco Ordinary Shares.

The amount of Pubco Ordinary Shares that the Chijet Holders and our security holders described above receive in the Business Combination depends on the redemption price of JWAC Common Stock in the redemption described in this proxy statement/prospectus, which per share price determines the value of one share of Pubco Ordinary Shares under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, for purposes of determining the consideration to be received by Chijet Holders and our security holders in the Business Combination.

The Chijet Holders will receive the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares in the Share Exchange that shall have an aggregate value equal to One Billion Six Hundred Million Dollars ($1,600,000,000), subject to certain Chijet Holders having an earnout which would adjust downwards the consideration they receive by up to Six Hundred Seventy Four Million ($674,000,000) based on certain post-Closing financial performance and stock price metrics of Pubco, described below, and all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.

The Earnout is not given effect in this Presentation.

The issuance of an amount of Pubco Ordinary Shares to certain Chijet Holders who are earnout participants, and who we refer to as the Earnout Participants, is subject to an Earnout equal in value to Six Hundred and Seventy Four Million U.S. Dollars ($674,000,000), with each of such shares being valued at the redemption price (such Pubco ordinary shares, subject to equitable adjustment for share splits, share dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like after the Closing, including to account for any equity securities into which such shares are exchanged or converted, and together with the earnings thereof), and which we refer to as the Earnout Shares. The Earnout Shares shall be issued and registered by Pubco in the name of the Earnout Participants, but shall be subject to potential surrender and cancellation as provided in the Business Combination Agreement. Additionally, (i) all earnings, such as dividends or distributions, related to such Earnout Shares shall be held in a segregated escrow account (the “Escrow Account”), and (ii) the Earnout Participants will not be permitted to sell, assign, convey, pledge, hypothecate, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Earnout Shares (or any rights to the earnings thereon) (the “Earnout Transfer Restrictions”). Otherwise, the Earnout Shares shall have the same rights as the Pubco Ordinary Shares. Each of the Earnout Participants agrees that the Earnout Shares shall, at such time as more fully set out below, no longer be subject to potential cancellation and become free of the Earnout Transfer Restrictions, and that each of the Earnout Participants shall have the contingent right to receive a pro rata portion of the earnings (such pro rata allocation based on the number of Purchased Shares owned by such Earnout Participant, divided by the total number of Purchased Shares owned by all Earnout Participants). The Earnout Shares will cease to have any restrictions based on either meeting the criteria relating to (i) consolidated gross revenue or (ii) closing price of Pubco Ordinary Shares, and will vest in three tranches consisting of 30% for 2023, 30% for 2024 and any unvested amount for 2025 (in each case without giving effect to any prior surrenders of Earnout Shares and together with any Earnings thereon (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), as described as follows:

(i)	The first tranche shall (i) vest based on gross revenues of Pubco and the Target Companies (including the period prior to Closing) as set forth in Pubco’s audited annual financial statements included in Form 20-F or 10-K filed with the SEC for the calendar year ended December 31, 2023 that exceed the gross revenue milestones specified in the Business Combination Agreement, or alternatively (ii) vest if the Pubco Ordinary Shares on the applicable Trading Market is at least $13.00 per share (as equitably adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, share consolidations, subdivisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for at least twenty (20) out of thirty (30) Trading Days, through and including the thirtieth (30^th) Trading Day after the date on which Pubco files its annual report with the SEC on Form 20-F or 10-K (such trading criteria being collectively the “Trading Criteria”), for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
(ii)	The second tranche will likewise either (i) vest based on gross revenues set forth in Pubco’s audited annual financial statements included in Form 20-F or 10-K filed with the SEC for the calendar year ended December 31, 2024 that exceed the gross revenue milestones specified in the Business Combination Agreement; or (ii) based on meeting the Trading Criteria during the applicable period for the year ended December 31, 2024.
(iii)	Any remaining Earnout Shares not vested in the first or second tranches are eligible either to (i) vest based on gross revenues set forth in Pubco’s audited annual financial statements included in Form 20-F or 10-K filed with the SEC for the calendar year ended December 31, 2025 that exceed the gross revenue milestones specified in the Business Combination Agreement; or (ii) vest based on meeting the Trading Criteria during the applicable period for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The Transaction Consideration will be paid in the form of a number Pubco Ordinary Shares (the “Consideration Shares”), valued at the applicable redemption price (the “Closing Share Price”).

Accounting for the Business Combination

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp. will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on Chijet Holders expecting to have a majority of the voting power of the Combined Company, Chijet comprising the ongoing operations of the Combined Entity, Chijet comprising a majority of the governing body of the Combined Company, and Chijet’s senior management comprising the senior management of the Combined Company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Chijet issuing stock for the net assets of Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp., accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp. will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of Chijet.

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The historical financial information has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that are related and/ or directly attributable to the Business Combination, are factually supportable and are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of the Combined Company. The adjustments presented on the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial statements have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an accurate understanding of the combined company upon consummation of the Business Combination.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial information is for illustrative purposes only. The financial results may have been different had the companies always been combined. You should not rely on the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial information as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future results that the Combined Company will experience. Chijet and Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp. have not had any historical relationship prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

There is no historical activity with respect to Pubco and Merger Sub, and accordingly, no adjustments were required with respect to these entities in the pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial information has been prepared assuming that (1) $140,173,416, the balance of Trust Account as of September 30, 2022, were available to fund expenses in connection with the business combination and to fund future cash needs of the Combined Company, and (2) three alternative levels of redemption into cash of the JWAC Common Stock:

●

Scenario 1 – Assuming no redemptions for cash: This presentation assumes that no public stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their JWAC Common Stock upon consummation of the Merger.

●

Scenario 2 – Assuming redemptions of 6,900,000 shares, or 50% of the public shares for cash: This presentation assumes that 50% of Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp. stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to 6,900,000 shares of JWAC Common Stock upon consummation of the Merger, at a redemption price of $10.157 per share; and

●

Scenario 3 – Assuming redemptions of 12,175,583 shares, or 88% of the public shares for cash: This presentation assumes that public stockholders exercise their redemption rights with respect to a maximum of 12,175,583 shares of JWAC Common Stock upon consummation of the Merger at a redemption price of approximately $10.157 per share. The maximum redemption amount is derived so that there is a minimum $6,500,000 of cash remaining in the Trust Account to pay for transaction expenses, after giving effect to the payments to redeeming stockholders and giving effect to the minimum cash required to close the Business Combination.

According to the Business Combination Agreement there is a minimum cash requirement to close the Business Combination of Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp. having cash and cash equivalents, including funds remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to the completion and payment of redemptions in connection with the Business Combination) and the proceeds of any PIPE investment (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), net of Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp.’s unpaid transaction expenses or liabilities, at least equal to Ten Million U.S. Dollars ($10,000,000).

Included in the shares outstanding and weighted average shares outstanding as presented in the pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial statements are 157,519,170 Pubco Ordinary Shares to be issued to Chijet Holders. The number of shares to be issued is subject to adjustment as provided in the Business Combination Agreement. In addition, certain expenses of Chijet may be paid with proceeds from the Trust Account, which would reduce the shares issuable to Chijet Holders at the Closing of the Business Combination.

The following table presents share information based on the various redemption scenarios.

(in thousands)	Assuming No Redemptions				Assuming 50% Redemptions				Assuming Maximum Redemptions

JWAC public stockholders		13,800	7.8	%		6,900	4.1	%		1,624	1.0	%
Shares of JWAC public stockholders issuable upon conversion of JWAC Rights at closing		1,725	1.0	%		862	0.5	%		203	0.1	%
JWAC Sponsor and its permitted transferees and directors and officers		3,943	2.2	%		3,943	2.3	%		3,943	2.4	%
Shares of JWAC Sponsor and its permitted transferees and directors and officers		-	0.0	%		-	0.0	%		-	0.0	%
issuable upon conversion of JWAC Rights at closing		62	0.0	%		62	0.0	%		62	0.0	%
I-Bankers’ private placement shares		136	0.1	%		136	0.1	%		136	0.1	%
Shares of I-Bankers issuable upon conversion of JWAC Rights at closing		17	0.0	%		17	0.0	%		17	0.0	%
I-Bankers representative shares		276	0.1	%		276	0.2	%		276	0.2	%
Chijet Holders (1) (2)		157,519	88.8	%		157,519	92.8	%		157,519	96.2	%
Total Shares at closing		177,478	100.0	%		169,715	100.0	%		163,780	100.0	%

	(1)	The number of Pubco Ordinary Shares to be held by Chijet Holders in the no redemption scenario includes 157,519,170 shares to be issued to the Sellers for all issued and outstanding Chijet Ordinary Shares at closing of the Business Combination.

	(2)	If the actual facts are different than these assumptions, the ownership percentage retained by the holders of JWAC Common Stock in Pubco will be different from the above-stated ownership percentage.

Additional Dilution Sources (1) (in thousands)	Assuming No Redemption		% of Total (2)			Assuming 50% Redemption (3)		% of Total (2)			Assuming Maximum Redemptions (4)		% of Total (2)

JWAC officer and director’s shares (5)		300		0.2	%		300		0.2	%		300		0.2	%
Shares issuable to Greentree (6)		200		0.1	%		200		0.1	%		200		0.1	%
Shares underlying Representative Warrant (7)		414		0.2	%		414		0.2	%		414		0.2	%
GT warrant (8)		5,000		2.7	%		5,000		2.8	%		5,000		3.0	%

	(1)	All share numbers and percentages for the Additional Dilution Sources are presented without the potential reduction of any amounts paid by the holders of the given Additional Dilution Sources and therefore may overstate the presentation of dilution.

	(2)	The Percentage of Total with respect to each Additional Dilution Source set forth below, including the Total Additional Dilutive Sources, includes the full amount of shares issued with respect to the applicable Additional Dilution Source in both the numerator and denominator. For example, in the illustrative no redemption scenario, the Percentage of Total with respect to the Pubco Ordinary Shares underlying the Representative Warrant would be calculated as follows: (a) 414,000 shares issued pursuant to the Representative Warrant; divided by (b) (i) 177,477,795 shares (the number of shares outstanding prior to any issuance pursuant to the shares underlying Representative Warrant and GT Warrant) plus (ii) 414,000 shares issued pursuant to the shares underlying the Representative Warrant and (iii) 5,000,000 shares issued pursuant to the shares underlying GT Warrant.

	(3)	Amount shown represents share redemption levels reflecting 50% of the redeemable public shares outstanding (approximately 6,900,000 shares).

	(4)	Assumes that approximately 87% of Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp.’s outstanding public shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, which is the maximum permitted amount of redemptions while still satisfying the conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination in the Business Combination Agreement.

	(5)	Assumes issuance of 300,000 shares of JWAC Common Stock issuable to JWAC’s officers and directors within 10 days following the closing of the Business Combination, which shall be exchanged for the equivalent number of Pubco Ordinary Shares.

	(6)	Assumes issuance of the 200,000 shares of Pubco Ordinary Shares issuable to Greentree due to the conversion of Baoya’s accrued expenses of $1,000,000 pursuant to the financial consulting agreements with Greentree.

	(7)	Assumes exercise of all Representative Warrant to purchase 414,000 shares of JWAC Common Stock.

	(8)	Assumes exercise of all GT Warrant to purchase 5,000,000 shares of JWAC Common Stock.

The ownership percentage set forth above with respect to Pubco includes the shares issuable to the Chijet Holders, and assumes Rights Holders have exercised all of their JWAC Rights, and assumes exercise of the Representative Warrant, GT Warrant, and the earnout shares which would adjust downwards the consideration they receive by up to Six Hundred Seventy Four Million ($674,000,000) based on certain post-Closing financial performance and stock price metrics of Pubco, and all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the BCA. but does not take into account (i) any shares reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan, (ii) the issuance of any shares relating to any additional private placement units that are issued or issuable to our Sponsor pursuant to the conversion of the Sponsor’s up to $1.5 million working capital loans that were made to Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp., (iii) any adjustments to the Transaction Consideration payable to the Chijet Holders pursuant to terms set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, (iv) the 300,000 shares of JWAC Common Stock issuable to Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp.’s officers and directors within 10 days following the closing of the Business Combination, which shall be exchanged for the equivalent number of Pubco Ordinary Shares, (v) the 200,000 shares of Pubco Ordinary Shares issuable to Greentree due to the conversion of Baoya’s accrued expenses of $1,000,000 pursuant to the financial consulting agreements with Greentree. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed consolidated Combined Financial Information” for further information.

The level of redemptions will also impact the effective deferred underwriting fee per share of our public shares incurred in connection with the IPO and payable upon the completion of the Business Combination. Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp. incurred $4,830,000 in deferred underwriting fees. Assuming no exercise of the Representative Warrants but exercise of the JWAC Rights, in a no redemption scenario, the effective deferred underwriting fee would be approximately $0.35 per public share on a pro forma basis (or 3.5% of the value of shares assuming a trading price of $10.00 per public share). In a medium redemption scenario in which 50% of the shares assumed to be redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, the effective deferred underwriting fee would be approximately $0.70 per public share on a pro forma basis (or 7.0% of the value of shares assuming a trading price of $10.00 per share). In the maximum redemption scenario, the effective deferred underwriting fee would be approximately $2.97 per public share on a pro forma basis (or 29.7% of the value of shares assuming a trading price of $10.00 per share).

Notes to unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial information

1. Basis of presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 requires pro forma adjustments that depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and allows optional pro forma adjustments that present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). Management has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and will only be presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial information.

Under each of the scenarios of no redemption, the 50% redemption and the maximum redemption, the Business Combination transaction will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp. will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination transaction will be treated as the equivalent of Chijet issuing stock for the net assets of Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp., accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp. will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2022, giving effect to the transactions as if they have occurred as of the earliest period presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022, giving effect to the transactions as if they have occurred as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined statement of operations for the period ended December 31, 2021, giving effect to the transactions as if they have occurred as of the beginning of the earliest period presented.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial statements have been developed from and should be read in conjunction with:

(i) these accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial statements;

(1)

(ii) The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2022 has been prepared using the following:

	●	unaudited historical condensed balance sheet of Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp. as of June 30, 2022;

	●	unaudited historical consolidated financial statements of Chijet Inc. June 30, 2022.

(iv)

(iii) The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 has been prepared using the following:

	●	unaudited historical statement of operations of Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp for the six months ended June 30, 2022 (not included elsewhere in this proxy statement/ prospectus);

	●	unaudited historical consolidated statement of operations of Chijet Inc. for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

(2)

(iv) The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated statements of operations for the period ended December 31, 2021 has been prepared using the following:

	●	unaudited historical statement of operations of Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp for the period from September 14, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021 (not included elsewhere in this proxy statement/ prospectus);

	●	Audited historical consolidated statement of operations of Chijet Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2021.

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

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Business Combination taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the post-combination company. They should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp. and Chijet Inc.

2. Accounting policies

Upon completion of the Business Combination, management will perform a comprehensive review of Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp.’s and Chijet’s accounting policies. As a result of the review, management may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two entities which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of the post-combination company.

4. Net loss per Share

Net loss per share is calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding, and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Business Combination, assuming the shares were outstanding since January 1, 2022 and January 1, 2021 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively. As the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the Business Combination have been outstanding for the entire period presented. If the maximum number of shares are redeemed, this calculation is retroactively adjusted to eliminate such shares for the entire period.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial information has been prepared assuming three alternative levels of redemption for the six months ended June 30, 2022:

Because Pubco was in a loss position for each of the periods presented, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for each period, as the inclusion of all potential common stock shares outstanding would have been anti-dilutive. The potentially dilutive securities that were excluded from the diluted per share calculation because they would have been anti-dilutive were as follows:

The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in these risk factors, alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and future prospects of Pubco, in which event the market price of Pubco Ordinary Shares could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.

Risks Relating to Chijet

Chijet’s business model and technology have yet to be operated in a commercial setting and any failure to commercialize its strategic plans would have an adverse effect on its operating results and business, harm its reputation and could result in substantial liabilities that exceed its resources.

Investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by a new enterprise, many of which are beyond Chijet’s control, including substantial risks and expenses in the course of developing new, unproven technology, establishing or entering new markets, organizing operations and undertaking marketing activities. Chijet’s financial performance depends, in part, on its ability to design, develop, manufacture, assemble, test, commercialize, market and support its vehicles on a timely and cost-effective basis.

Chijet plans to commercialize electric commercial vehicles for production and sales currently, and will commercialize a large number of electric passenger cars in 2023. Chijet will reduce the production of conventional fuel vehicles. Chijet’s principal focus has been on research and development activities to improve its technology and make its vehicles attractive to potential customers. Chijet has begun construction of its first electric vehicle manufacturing site for pure electric vehicles only, having started construction in the second half of 2022. These activities are subject to various risks and uncertainties Chijet is not able to control, including changes in customer demand, competing energy prices or industry standards and the introduction of new or superior technologies by others. Moreover, any failure by Chijet in the future to develop new technologies or to timely react to changes in existing technologies could materially delay its development of new solutions, which could result in technology obsolescence, decreased revenues and a loss of its market share to its competitors. In addition, solutions or technologies developed by others may render Chijet’s solutions or technologies obsolete or non-competitive. Further, if Chijet’s solutions are not in compliance with prevailing industry standards, such non-compliance could materially and adversely affect its financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

The likelihood of Chijet’s success must be considered in light of these risks, expenses, complications, delays and the competitive environment in which Chijet operates. There is, therefore, nothing at this time upon which to base an assumption that its business plan will prove successful, or that its technology will work as intended or be scalable, and Chijet may not be able to generate revenue, raise additional capital or operate profitably. Chijet will continue to encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by early commercial stage companies, including scaling up its infrastructure and headcount, and may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties or delays in connection with its growth. In addition, as a result of the capital-intensive nature of Chijet’s business, Chijet expects to continue to sustain substantial operating expenses without generating sufficient revenues to cover expenditures. Any investment in Chijet is therefore highly speculative and could result in the loss of your entire investment.

Chijet has a history of operating losses, has not yet generated any revenue, and expects to incur significant additional expenses and operating losses.

Chijet is an early-stage company, has a history of operating losses and negative operating cash flows and has not yet generated any revenue. Chijet incurred a net loss of $48 million, $63 million and $58 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company expects that it will continue to incur operating and net losses for the medium term. The amount of future losses and when, if ever, Chijet will achieve profitability are uncertain. In addition, even if Chijet achieves profitability, there can be no assurance that Chijet will be able to maintain profitability in the future. Chijet’s potential profitability is particularly dependent upon the penetration and growth of the market for its vehicles, parts and technology, including solid-state batteries, in-wheel motors, and intelligent driving solutions, which may not occur at the levels Chijet currently anticipates or at all.

The Company’s failure to secure new contracts may adversely affect its business operations and financial results.

The Company’s business depends in large part on its ability to secure contracts with customers. Contract proposals and negotiations are complex and frequently involve a lengthy negotiation and selection process, which is affected by a number of factors. These factors include market conditions, demonstrating to potential customers that its solutions can work for them, financing arrangements, and any required governmental approvals. If negative market conditions arise, and Chijet cannot sell its vehicles, or if Chijet fails to secure adequate financial arrangements or any required government approvals, Chijet may not be able to pursue particular projects, which could adversely affect its ability to generate revenue. If Chijet fails to complete a project in a timely manner, misses a required performance standard, or otherwise fails to adequately perform on a project, then Chijet may incur a loss on that project, which may result in increased losses.

The Company’s engagements will involve complex projects. The quality of its performance on such projects depends in large part upon its ability to manage the relationship with its clients and its ability to effectively manage the project and deploy appropriate resources, including third-party contractors and its own personnel, in a timely manner. If a project is not completed by the scheduled date or fails to meet required performance standards, Chijet may either incur significant additional costs or be held responsible for the costs incurred by the client to rectify damages due to late completion or failure to achieve the required performance standards. The performance of projects can be affected by a number of factors, including unavoidable delays from suppliers and subcontractors, government inaction, public opposition, inability to obtain financing, weather conditions, unavailability of vendor materials, changes in the project scope of services requested by Chijet’s clients, industrial accidents, environmental hazards and labor disruptions. To the extent these events occur, the total costs of the project could exceed the Company’s estimates and the Company could incur a loss on a project, which would have an adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition. Further, any defects or errors, or failures to meet its clients’ expectations, could result in claims for damages against the Company.

If Chijet is not able to successfully manage its growth strategy, its business operations and financial results may be adversely affected.

Chijet’s expected future growth presents numerous managerial, administrative and operational challenges. In addition, all of its current contracts are for projects located outside of the United States, adding to the complexity of its operations. The Company’s ability to manage the growth of its operations will require it to continue to develop and improve its management information systems and its other internal systems and controls. In addition, Chijet’s growth will increase its need to attract, develop, motivate, and retain both its management and employees. The inability of Chijet’s management to effectively manage its growth or the inability of its employees to achieve anticipated performance could have a material adverse effect on its business.

The unavailability, reduction or elimination of government and economic incentives and other legislative or regulatory actions relating to renewable energy could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

Any reduction, elimination or discriminatory application of government subsidies and economic incentives because of policy changes, the reduced need for such subsidies and incentives due to the perceived success of vehicles with carbon-free fuel solutions or other reasons may result in the diminished competitiveness of the renewable energy industry generally or the Company’s vehicles. This could also materially and adversely affect the growth of the renewable energy markets and Chijet’s business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results.

While Chijet may seek to use certain tax credits and other incentives for electric vehicles, there is no guarantee these programs will be available in the future, or that Chijet will be able to use them. If current tax incentives are not available in the future, Chijet’s financial position could be harmed.

Because most of the Company’s revenue is expected to be derived from the industrial market sector, regulatory and environmental requirements affecting the relevant industries could adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Customers in the industries Chijet is targeting, including global mining companies and manufacturers of cement, tile, tires, beverages and metals, face regulatory and environmental requirements, as well as permitting processes, as they implement plans for their projects, which may result in delays, reductions, and cancellations of some of their projects. These regulatory factors may result in decreased demand for the Company’s solutions, potentially impacting its future operations and its ability to grow.

Chijet may not be able to obtain or agree on acceptable terms and conditions for all or a significant portion of any government grants, loans and other incentives for which Chijet may apply. As a result, its business and prospects may be adversely affected.

Chijet anticipates applying for federal loans, and, where applicable, grants and tax incentives under government programs designed to support the production of renewable energy and related technologies, as well as the sale of electric vehicles. The Company anticipates that in the future there will be new opportunities for Chijet to apply for grants, loans and other incentives from various federal, state and foreign governments, including the United States. The Company’s ability to obtain funds or incentives from government sources is subject to the availability of funds under applicable government programs and approval of its applications to participate in such programs. The application process for these funds and other incentives will likely be highly competitive. Chijet cannot assure you that it will be successful in obtaining any of these additional grants, loans and other incentives. If Chijet is not successful in obtaining any of these additional incentives and Chijet is unable to find alternative sources of funding to meet its planned capital needs, its business and prospects for certain projects could be materially adversely affected.

An increase in the prices of materials used in the Company’s business could adversely affect its business.

Because Chijet owns the the Company’s vehicles it installs on its customers’ premises, Chijet is exposed to market risk of increases in certain commodity prices of materials, such as nickel, steel, concrete and adhesives, which are used as components of supplies or materials utilized in Chijet’s operations. In particular, raw material costs have been extremely volatile during the pandemic, in some cases increasing by 30 to 100%. These prices could be materially impacted by general market conditions and other factors, including U.S. trade relationships with other countries or the imposition of tariffs. Under Chijet’s current customer contracts, Chijet is responsible for the costs of installing and constructing its the Company’s vehicles on its customers’ premises. The Company’s prices with current customers are determined by sale of its vehicles and there is limited ability for prices to be adjusted for price increases in materials, and while the Company believes it may be able to increase its prices under future sales to account for some price increases in materials, there can be no assurance that price increases of materials, if they were to occur, would be recoverable.

The Company may be unable to complete or operate its projects on a profitable basis or as the Company has committed to its customers.

Design and manufacturer of the Company’s vehicles, and maintenance support for those vehicles, entails many risks, including:

●	failure to receive critical components and equipment that can be delivered on schedule,

●	loss of necessary rights to land access and use,

●	failure to receive quality and timely performance of third-party services,

●	increases in the cost of labor, equipment and materials needed to install or maintain projects,

●	permitting and other regulatory issues, license revocation and changes in legal requirements,

●	shortages of equipment or skilled labor,

●	unforeseen engineering problems,

●	failure of a customer to accept or pay for the Company’s vehicles,

●	weather interferences, catastrophic events including fires, explosions, earthquakes, droughts and acts of terrorism,

●	accidents involving personal injury or the loss of life,

●	health or similar issues, such as a pandemic or epidemic, such as the novel coronavirus (COVID-19),

●	labor disputes and work stoppages,

●	mishandling of hazardous substances and waste, and

●	other events outside of Chijet’s control.

Any of these factors could give rise to installation delays and installation and other costs in excess of Chijet’s expectations. This could prevent the Company from completing installation of its projects, cause defaults under any then-existing financing agreements or under contracts that require completion of project installation by a certain time, cause projects to be unprofitable for the Company, or otherwise impair its business, financial condition and operating results.

Operation of its business in international markets may expose Chijet to additional risks that Chijet would not face in the United States, which could have an adverse effect on its operating results.

All of the Company’s current customer contracts are for the sale of the Company’s vehicles outside of the United States, and the Company expects to generate a significant portion of its revenues from operations outside of the United States in the future. Operations in international markets may require the Company to respond to new and unanticipated regulatory, marketing, sales and other challenges. These efforts may be time-consuming and costly, and there can be no assurance that Chijet will be successful in responding to these and other challenges it may face as it operates in international markets, including:

●

building and managing an experienced foreign workforce and overseeing and ensuring the performance of foreign subcontractors,

●

difficulties in developing, staffing, and simultaneously managing a number of varying foreign operations as a result of distance, language, and cultural differences,

●

increased travel, infrastructure and legal and compliance costs associated with multiple international locations,

●

additional withholding taxes or other taxes on Chijet’s foreign income, and tariffs or other restrictions on foreign trade or investment,

●

imposition of, or unexpected adverse changes in, foreign laws or regulatory requirements, many of which differ from those in the United States,

●

increased exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk,

●

longer payment cycles for sales in some foreign countries and potential difficulties in enforcing contracts and collecting accounts receivable,

●

difficulties in repatriating overseas earnings,

●

compliance with numerous legislative, regulatory or market requirements of foreign countries,

●

compliance with U.S. laws, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA, and local laws prohibiting bribery and corrupt payments to government officials,

●

laws and business practices that favor local competitors or prohibit foreign ownership of certain businesses,

●

potentially adverse tax consequences,

●

compliance with laws of foreign countries, international organizations, such as the European Commission, treaties, and other international laws,

●

the inability to continue to benefit from local subsidies due to change in control,

●

unfavorable labor regulations, and

●

general economic conditions in the countries in which Chijet operates.

Chijet’s international operations are also subject to general geopolitical risks, such as political, social and economic instability, war, civil unrest, sabotage, kidnapping and ransom, expropriation, incidents of terrorism, changes in diplomatic and trade relations, or responses to such events. One or more of these factors could adversely affect any of Chijet’s international operations and result in lower revenue and/or greater operating expenses than Chijet expects, and could significantly affect its results of operations and financial condition.

Chijet’s overall success in international markets will depend, in part, on its ability to succeed in differing legal, regulatory, economic, social and political conditions. Chijet may not be successful in developing and implementing policies and strategies that will be effective in managing these risks in each country where Chijet does business. The Company’s failure to manage these risks successfully could harm its international operations, reduce its international sales and increase its costs, thus adversely affecting its business, financial condition and operating results.

The Company’s revenue, expenses, and operating results may fluctuate significantly.

The Company’s revenue, expenses, and operating results may fluctuate significantly because of numerous factors, some of which may contribute to more pronounced fluctuations in an uncertain global economic environment. In addition to the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section, the following factors could cause the Company’s operating results to fluctuate:

●

delays, increased costs, or other unanticipated changes in contract performance that may affect profitability,

●

the number and significance of client contracts commenced and completed during a quarter,

●

the continuing creditworthiness and solvency of clients,

●

reductions in the prices of solutions offered by Chijet’s competitors, and

●

legislative and regulatory enforcement policy changes that may affect demand for the Company’s vehicles.

As a consequence, operating results for any future periods are difficult to predict and, therefore, prior results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in future periods. Any of the foregoing factors, or any other factors discussed elsewhere herein, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition that could adversely affect the stock price of the Combined Company following consummation of the Business Combination.

Failure of third parties to manufacture quality products or provide reliable services in a timely manner could cause delays in the delivery of the Company’s services and completion of its projects, which could damage its reputation, have a negative impact on its relationships with its customers and adversely affect its growth.

The Company’s success depends on its ability to provide services and complete projects in a timely manner, which in part depends on the ability of third parties to provide the Company with timely and reliable products and services. In designing and manufacturing its vehicles, the Company relies on components that meet its design specifications and components manufactured and supplied by third parties, as well as on services performed by subcontractors.

The Company will also rely on subcontractors to perform substantially all of the installation work related to its projects; and the Company may need to engage subcontractors with whom it has no experience for its projects.

If any of Chijet’s subcontractors are unable to provide services that meet its customers’ expectations or satisfy its contractual commitments, the Company’s reputation, business and operating results could be harmed. In addition, if Chijet is unable to avail itself of warranty and other contractual protections with providers of products and services, Chijet may incur liability to its customers or additional costs related to the affected products and components, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and operating results. Moreover, any delays, malfunctions, inefficiencies or interruptions in these products or services could adversely affect the quality and performance of Chijet’s solutions and require considerable expense to establish alternate sources for such products and services. This could cause Chijet to experience difficulty retaining current customers and attracting new customers, and could harm its brand, reputation and growth.

The Company’s estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth may prove to be inaccurate.

Market opportunity estimates and growth forecasts, whether obtained from third-party sources or developed internally, are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates that may prove to be inaccurate. This is especially so at the present time due to the uncertain and rapidly changing expectations regarding the severity, magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. The estimates and forecasts included in this proxy statement/prospectus relating to the size and expected growth of the target market and market demand may also prove to be inaccurate. The estimated global addressable market is based on assumptions that may prove to be inaccurate or incorrect. In addition, the estimated global market may not materialize in the timeframe Chijet expects, if ever, and even if the markets meet the estimates presented in this proxy statement/prospectus, this should not be taken as indicative of Chijet’s future growth or prospects. In order to be successful, Chijet will need to prove its ability to commercialize and scale its technology, successfully secure substantial customer contracts, obtain sufficient capital to finance its business, including construction of the Company’s vehicles, and otherwise successfully scale its business and operations. Chijet faces a number of challenges in achieving its objectives, including those described elsewhere in these risk factors, and these challenges are significant. There can be no assurance that Chijet will be able to achieve its objectives or successfully grow its business, capture meaningful market share or take advantage of market opportunities.

The Company’s business will depend on experienced and skilled personnel and third-party engineering subcontractor resources, and if Chijet loses key personnel or if Chijet is unable to attract and integrate additional skilled personnel, it will be more difficult for the Company to manage its business and complete projects.

The success of the Company’s business and installation of projects will depend in large part on the skill of its personnel and on trade labor resources. Competition for personnel, particularly those with expertise in the energy services and renewable energy industries, is high. In the event Chijet is unable to attract, hire and retain the requisite personnel and subcontractors, Chijet may experience delays in completing projects in accordance with project schedules and budgets.

Further, any increase in demand for personnel may result in higher costs, causing Chijet to exceed the budget on a project. Either of these circumstances may have an adverse effect on Chijet’s business, financial condition and operating results, harm its reputation among and relationships with its customers and cause Chijet to curtail its pursuit of new projects.

The Company’s future success is particularly dependent on the vision, skills, experience and effort of its senior management team, including its executive officers and its founder, director and chief executive officer, Mu Hongwei. If Chijet was to lose the services of any of its executive officers or key employees, its ability to effectively manage its operations and implement its strategy could be harmed and its business may suffer.

Chijet expects to operate in a highly competitive industry, and its current or future competitors may be able to compete more effectively than Chijet does, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, revenues, growth rates and market share.

The markets and industries in which Chijet expects to compete in are highly competitive, with many companies of varying size and business models, many of which have their own proprietary technologies, competing for the same business as Chijet does. Many of Chijet’s competitors have longer operating histories and greater resources than the Company and could focus their substantial financial resources to develop a competitive advantage. The Company’s competitors may also offer vehicles with carbon-free fuel solutions at prices below cost, devote significant sales resources to competing with Chijet or attempt to recruit its key personnel by increasing compensation, any of which could improve these competitors’ competitive positions. Additionally, Chijet expects competition to intensify in the future as existing competitors and new market entrants introduce new solutions into Chijet’s markets. Any of these competitive factors could make it more difficult for Chijet to attract and retain customers, increase its sales and marketing expenses, reduce profit margins, cause Chijet to lower its prices in order to compete, and reduce its market share and revenues, any of which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and operating results. The Company can provide no assurance that it will continue to effectively compete against its current competitors or additional companies that may enter its markets.

In addition, Chijet may also face competition based on technological developments that compete with the Company’s vehicles. The Company’s competitors may develop technology that would make its technology noncompetitive or obsolete. If Chijet does not keep pace with product and technology advances and otherwise keep its solutions competitive, there could be a material adverse effect on its competitive position, revenue and prospects for growth. Some of its existing competitors have, and some of its potential competitors could have, substantial competitive advantages such as:

●

greater name recognition, longer operating histories and larger customer bases;

●

larger sales and marketing budgets and resources;

●

broader and deeper product lines;

●

greater customer support resources;

●

proven technology;

●

lower labor and research and development costs;

●

substantially greater financial and other resources; and

●

larger scale manufacturing operations.

Some of the Company’s expected larger competitors may have substantially broader product offerings and may be able to leverage their relationships with partners and customers based on other products to gain business in a manner that discourages potential customers from purchasing the Company’s vehicles, including by selling at zero or negative margins or product bundling. In addition, innovative start-up companies, and larger companies that are making significant investments in research and development, may invent similar or superior technologies that compete with Chijet’s technology. The Company’s current and potential competitors may also establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties that may further enhance their resources. If Chijet is unable to compete successfully, or if competing successfully requires it to take costly actions in response to the actions of its competitors, its business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

The Company expects that its business will benefit in part from government support for new energy vehicles and electric vehicles, and a decline in such support could harm its business.

The Company expects to benefit in part from legislation and government policies that support renewable energy, and projects that supports vehicles that operate through renewable and electric energy. This support may include legislation and regulations that encourage or in some cases require its customers to procure power from renewable or low-emission sources or otherwise to procure its solutions; and provide the Company or its customers with tax and other incentives that reduce the Company’s costs or increase its revenues. The government of China supports the EV industry through vehicle purchase tax reduction and subsidy of which relating tax reduction and exemption will end on December 31, 2023. Without this support, the Company’s ability obtain project commitments could be adversely affected.

An inability to protect Chijet’s intellectual property could negatively affect its ability to compete, its business and its results of operations.

The Company’s ability to compete effectively depends in part upon the maintenance and protection of the intellectual property related to the Company’s vehicles. Chijet holds a portfolio of: 90 granted patents, including 3 invention patents, 61 utility model patents and 26 appearance patents, and 39 pending patents, along with 141 granted trademarks, and 23 pending trademarks.

The Company might not succeed in obtaining patents from any of its pending applications. Even if Chijet is awarded patents, they may not provide any meaningful protection or commercial advantage to Chijet, as they may not be of sufficient scope or strength or may not be issued in all countries where the Company’s vehicles can be sold. Patent protection is unavailable for certain aspects of the technology and operational processes that are important to Chijet’s business. Any patent held by Chijet or to be issued to it, or any of its pending patent applications, could be challenged, invalidated, deemed unenforceable or circumvented. In addition, Chijet’s competitors may be able to design around its patents. To date, Chijet has relied principally on patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality and proprietary information agreements and licensing arrangements, to establish and protect its intellectual property. While Chijet has obtained confidentiality and proprietary information agreements from its targeted customers, vendors and all of its employees, Chijet cannot be certain that these agreements will be honored. Policing unauthorized use of Chijet’s intellectual property is difficult and expensive, as is enforcing its rights against unauthorized use.

The steps that Chijet has taken or may take may not prevent misappropriation of the intellectual property on which Chijet relies. In addition, effective protection may be unavailable or limited in jurisdictions outside the United States, as the intellectual property laws of foreign countries sometimes offer less protection or have onerous filing requirements. From time to time, third parties may infringe the Company’s intellectual property rights. Litigation may be necessary to enforce or protect Chijet’s rights or to determine the validity and scope of the rights of others. Any litigation could be unsuccessful, cause Chijet to incur substantial costs, divert resources away from its daily operations and result in the impairment of its intellectual property. Failure to adequately enforce Chijet’s rights could cause Chijet to lose rights in its intellectual property and may negatively affect its business.

In addition to patent protection, Chijet relies significantly upon trade secret laws to protect its proprietary technologies. The confidentiality and proprietary information agreements may not be adequate to prevent misappropriation of its technologies or to assure that its competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to its technologies. In addition, the laws of other countries in which Chijet operates may not protect its proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Chijet is also subject to the risk of adverse claims and litigation alleging infringement of intellectual property rights.

The Company’s patent applications may not issue as patents, which may have a material adverse effect on its ability to prevent others from commercially exploiting solutions similar to the Company’s.

The Company cannot be certain that it is the first inventor of the subject matter to which Chijet has filed a particular patent application, or if Chijet is the first party to file such a patent application. If another party has filed a patent application to the same subject matter as Chijet has, Chijet may not be entitled to the protection sought by the patent application. Further, the scope of protection of issued patent claims is often difficult to determine. As a result, Chijet cannot be certain that the patent applications that Chijet files will issue, or that its issued patents will afford protection against competitors with similar technology. In addition, Chijet’s competitors may design around its issued patents, which may adversely affect its business, prospects, financial condition or operating results.

Certain of the Company’s facilities are or may be located in regions that may be affected by extreme weather conditions and natural disasters.

Chijet’s business is headquartered in No. 8, Beijing South Road Economic & Technological Development Zone Yantai, Shandong, P.R.China, and its production plants are in Yantai base-No. 8, Beijing South Road Economic & Technological Development Zone Yantai, Shandong, P.R.China; Jilin base-2888 Dongshan Street, Gaoxin Automobile Industrial Park, Jilin City, Jilin, P.R.China. Historically,Yantai base, in the middle and east of China, suffered from natural disasters rarely, but Jilin base, in the northeast of China, lasted nearly half a year in winter, which brought possible natural disasters. Although Chijet intends to maintain loss insurance where necessary, a hurricane or other natural disaster could result in significant damage to its facilities, destruction or disruption of its critical business or information technology systems, recovery costs and interruption to certain of its operations. In addition, catastrophic events could interrupt operations of Chijet’s customers and suppliers, which could result in delays or cancellation of customer orders, the loss of customers, harm to or destruction of its the Company’s vehicles on customer premises, and impediments to the manufacture or shipment of products or execution of projects, which could result in loss of business or an increase in expense, both of which may have a material adverse effect on Chijet’s business. Moreover, Chijet expects to have facilities in international markets and its current customer sites are located in international markets, which may be subject to weather-related risks, natural disasters, or other risks.

The Company may be impacted by weather extremes, earthquakes, drought, floods, and wildfire, which may cause temporary, short-term anomalies in its operational performance in certain localized geographic regions. Delays and other weather impacts could adversely affect Chijet’s ability to meet project deadlines and may increase a project’s cost and decrease its profitability.

Computer malware, viruses, ransomware, hacking, phishing attacks and other network disruptions could result in security and privacy breaches, loss of proprietary information and interruption in service, which would harm the Company’s business.

Computer malware, viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and similar disruptions could lead to interruption and delays in the Company’s services and operations and loss, misuse or theft of data. Computer malware, viruses, ransomware, hacking, phishing attacks or denial of service, against online networks have become more prevalent and may occur on Chijet’s systems. Any attempts by cyber attackers to disrupt the Company’s services or systems, if successful, could harm its business, introduce liability to data subjects, result in the misappropriation of funds, be expensive to remedy and damage its reputation or brand. Insurance may not be sufficient to cover significant expenses and losses related to cyber-attacks. Notwithstanding the security measures Chijet has implemented, such as managed security services, that are designed to detect and protect against cyber-attacks, and any additional measures Chijet may implement or adopt in the future, its facilities and systems, and those of its third-party service providers, could be vulnerable to security breaches, computer viruses, lost or misplaced data, programming errors, scams, burglary, human errors, acts of vandalism, or other events. Efforts to prevent cyber attackers from entering computer systems are expensive to implement, and Chijet may not be able to cause the implementation or enforcement of such preventions with respect to its third-party vendors. Though it is difficult to determine what, if any, harm may directly result from any specific interruption or attack, any failure to maintain performance, reliability, security and availability of systems and technical infrastructure may, in addition to other losses, harm Chijet’s reputation, brand and ability to attract customers.

There are several factors ranging from human error to data corruption that could materially impact the efficacy of any processes and procedures designed to enable Chijet to recover from a disaster or catastrophe, including by lengthening the time services are partially or fully unavailable to customers and users. It may be difficult or impossible to perform some or all recovery steps and continue normal business operations due to the nature of a particular cyber-attack, disaster or catastrophe or other disruption, especially during peak periods, which could cause additional reputational damages, or loss of revenues, any of which would adversely affect Chijet’s business and financial results.

Chijet is or may be subject to risks associated with strategic alliances or acquisitions.

Chijet has entered into, and may in the future enter into additional, strategic alliances, including joint ventures or minority equity investments with various third parties to further its business purpose. These alliances could subject Chijet to a number of risks, including risks associated with sharing proprietary information, non-performance by the third party and increased expenses in establishing new strategic alliances, any of which may materially and adversely affect its business. Chijet may have limited ability to monitor or control the actions of these third parties and, to the extent any of these strategic third parties suffers negative publicity or harm to their reputation from events relating to their business, Chijet may also suffer negative publicity or harm to its reputation by virtue of its association with any such third party.

When appropriate opportunities arise, Chijet may acquire additional assets, products, technologies or businesses that are complementary to its existing business. In addition to possible stockholder approval, Chijet may need approvals and licenses from relevant government authorities for the acquisitions and to comply with any applicable laws and regulations, which could result in increased delay and costs, and may disrupt the Company’s business strategy if it fails to do so. Furthermore, acquisitions and the subsequent integration of new assets and businesses into the Company’s own assets and businesses require significant attention from the Company’s management and could result in a diversion of resources from its existing business, which in turn could have an adverse effect on its operations. Acquired assets or businesses may not generate the financial results the Company expects. Acquisitions could result in the use of substantial amounts of cash, potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the occurrence of significant goodwill impairment charges, amortization expenses for other intangible assets and exposure to potential unknown liabilities of the acquired business. Moreover, the costs of identifying and consummating acquisitions may be significant.

The Company is subject to various environmental laws and regulations that could impose substantial costs upon Chijet and cause delays in manufacture and sale of the Company’s vehicles.

The Company’s operations may be subject to international, federal, state, and/or local environmental laws and regulations, including laws relating to the use, handling, storage, disposal and human exposure to hazardous materials. Environmental and health and safety laws and regulations can be complex, and Chijet expects that it will be affected by future amendments to such laws or other new environmental and health and safety laws and regulations which may require Chijet to change its operations, potentially resulting in a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results. These laws can give rise to liability for administrative oversight costs, cleanup costs, property damage, bodily injury and fines and penalties. Capital and operating expenses needed to comply with environmental laws and regulations can be significant, and violations may result in substantial fines and penalties, third party damages, suspension of production or a cessation of the Company’s operations.

Chijet’s ability to produce vehicles and its future growth depend upon its ability to maintain relationships with its existing suppliers and strategic partners, to source new suppliers for its critical components, and to complete building out its supply chain while effectively managing the risks due to such relationships.

Chijet’s success will be dependent upon its ability to enter into new supplier agreements and maintain its relationships with suppliers and strategic partners who are critical and necessary to the output and production of its vehicles. Chijet also relies on suppliers and its strategic partners to provide it with key components and technology for its vehicles. The supplier agreements Chijet has or may enter into with key suppliers and its strategic partners in the future may have provisions where such agreements can be terminated in various circumstances, including potentially without cause. If these suppliers and strategic partners become unable to provide, or experience delays in providing components or technology, or if the supplier and the strategic agreements Chijet has in place are terminated, it may be difficult to find replacement components and technology. Changes in business conditions, pandemics, governmental changes and other factors beyond Chijet’s control or that Chijet does not presently anticipate could affect its ability to receive components or technology from its suppliers and strategic partners.

Further, Chijet has not secured supply agreements for all of its components, technology and services. Chijet may be at a disadvantage in negotiating supply agreements for the production of its vehicles. In addition, there is the possibility that finalizing the supply agreements for the parts and components of its vehicles will cause significant disruption to Chijet’s operations, or such supply agreements could be at costs that make it difficult for Chijet to operate profitably.

If Chijet does not enter into longer-term supplier agreements with guaranteed pricing for its parts or components, it may be exposed to fluctuations in prices of components, materials and equipment. Agreements for the purchase of battery cells and other components contain or are likely to contain pricing provisions that are subject to adjustment based on changes in market prices of key commodities. Substantial increases in the prices for such components, materials and equipment, whether due to supply chain or logistics issues or due to inflation, would increase Chijet’s operating costs and could reduce its margins if it cannot recoup the increased costs. Any attempts to increase the announced or expected prices of Chijet’s vehicles in response to increased costs could be viewed negatively by its customers or potential customers and could adversely affect Chijet’s business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

Chijet’s operations rely heavily on a variety of agreements with its strategic partners, including agreements related to research and development, purchasing, manufacturing engineering and logistics, and Chijet may come to rely on other original equipment manufacturers, vendors and technology providers. The inability of Chijet to maintain agreements or partnerships with its existing strategic partners or to enter into new agreements or partnerships could have a material and adverse effect on Chijet’s ability to operate as a standalone business, produce vehicles, reach its development and production targets or focus efforts on its core areas of differentiation.

Chijet’s operations rely heavily on a variety of agreements, including agreements related to research and development, purchasing, manufacturing engineering and logistics, with its strategic partners, including certain other original equipment manufacturers, vendors and technology providers. Chijet’s reliance on these agreements subjects it to a number of significant risks, including the risk of being unable to operate as a standalone business, produce vehicles, reach its development and production targets or focus its efforts on core areas of differentiation.

These partnerships permit Chijet to benefit from the decades of experience of established technology and know-how in auto manufacturing while focusing its efforts on core areas of differentiation, such as design, performance and rapid adoption of the latest technologies and sustainability solutions. Chijet intends to continue to rely on these partnerships as part of its strategy. Chijet intends to rely primarily on its arrangements with specified contract partners to manufacture future Chijet models. If Chijet is unable to maintain agreements or partnerships with its existing strategic partners or to enter into new agreements or partnerships Chijet’s ability to operate as a standalone business, produce vehicles, reach its development and production targets or focus its efforts on core areas of differentiation could be materially and adversely affected.

Chijet is dependent on its strategic partners and suppliers, some of which are single-source suppliers, and the inability of these strategic partners and suppliers to deliver necessary components of Chijet’s products on schedule and at prices, quality levels and volumes acceptable to Chijet, or Chijet’s inability to efficiently manage these components, could have a material and adverse effect on Chijet’s results of operations and financial condition.

Chijet relies on its strategic partners and suppliers for the provision and development of the key components and materials used in its vehicles. While Chijet plans to obtain components from multiple sources whenever possible, some components used in Chijet’s vehicles will be purchased by Chijet from a single source, and Chijet’s limited, and in many cases single-source, supply chain exposes it to multiple potential sources of delivery failure or component shortages for its production. Chijet’s suppliers may not be able to meet Chijet’s required product specifications and performance characteristics, which would impact Chijet’s ability to achieve its product specifications and performance characteristics as well. Additionally, Chijet’s suppliers may be unable to obtain required certifications or provide necessary warranties for their products that are necessary for use in Chijet’s vehicles. Chijet may also be impacted by changes in its supply chain or production needs, including cost increases from its suppliers, in order to meet its quality targets and development timelines as well as due to design changes. Likewise, any significant increases in its production may in the future require Chijet to procure additional components in a short amount of time. Chijet’s suppliers may not ultimately be able to sustainably and timely meet Chijet’s cost, quality and volume needs, requiring Chijet to replace them with other sources. If Chijet is unable to obtain suitable components and materials used in its vehicles from its suppliers or if its suppliers decide to create or supply a competing product, its business could be adversely affected. Further, if Chijet is unsuccessful in its efforts to control and reduce supplier costs, its results of operations will suffer.

In addition, Chijet could experience delays if its strategic partners and suppliers do not meet agreed upon timelines or experience capacity constraints. Any disruption in the supply of components, whether or not from a single source supplier, could temporarily disrupt production of its vehicles until an alternative supplier is able to supply the required material, and there can be no guarantee that Chijet or its strategic partners will be able to make up delays in production caused by any disruption in the supply of critical components. Even in cases where Chijet may be able to establish alternate supply relationships and obtain or engineer replacement components for its single source components, it may be unable to do so quickly, or at all, at prices or quality levels that are acceptable to it. This risk is heightened by the fact that Chijet has less negotiating leverage with suppliers than larger and more established automobile manufacturers, which could adversely affect its ability to obtain necessary components and materials on favorable pricing and other terms, or at all. Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect Chijet’s results of operations, financial condition and prospects. (See “— Risks Related to Chijet’s Business and Industry —Increases in costs, disruption of supply or shortage of materials, in particular for lithium-ion cells or semiconductors, could harm Chijet’s business. Chijet will need to maintain and significantly grow its access to battery cells and control its related costs.”)

Furthermore, as the scale of its vehicle production increases, Chijet will need to accurately forecast, purchase, warehouse and transport components internationally to manufacturing facilities and servicing locations and at much higher volumes. If Chijet is unable to accurately match the timing and quantities of component purchases to its actual needs or successfully implement automation, inventory management and other systems to accommodate the increased complexity in its supply chain, Chijet may incur unexpected production disruption, storage, transportation and write-off costs, which could have a material and adverse effect on its results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, if Chijet develops an international manufacturing footprint, it will face additional challenges with respect to international supply chain management and logistics costs. If Chijet is unable to access or develop localized supply chains in the regions where it or its partners already have or develop manufacturing facilities with the quality, costs and capabilities required, Chijet could be required to source components from distant suppliers, which would increase its logistics and manufacturing costs, increase the risk and complexity of Chijet’s supply chain and significantly impair Chijet’s ability to develop cost-effective manufacturing operations, which could have a material and adverse effect on Chijet’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Chijet may not be able to accurately estimate the supply and demand for its vehicles, which could result in inefficiencies in its business, hinder its ability to generate revenue and create delays in the production of its vehicles. If Chijet fails to accurately predict its manufacturing requirements, Chijet incurs the risk of having to pay for research and development costs as well as production capacities that it reserved but will not be able to use or that Chijet will not be able to secure sufficient additional production capacities at reasonable costs in case product demand exceeds expectations.

It is difficult to predict Chijet’s future revenues and appropriately budget for its expenses, and Chijet has limited insight into trends that may emerge and affect its business. Chijet is required to provide forecasts of its demand to certain of its strategic partners and suppliers several months prior to the scheduled delivery of vehicles to its prospective customers. Currently, there is little historical basis for making judgments about the demand for Chijet’s vehicles or its ability to develop, manufacture, and deliver vehicles, or its profitability in the future. If Chijet overestimates its requirements, it may incur a higher cost of research and development of its models which will increase its cost of production, and its strategic partners or suppliers may have excess manufacturing capacity and/or inventory, which indirectly would increase its costs. If Chijet underestimates its requirements, its strategic partners and suppliers may have inadequate manufacturing capacity and/or inventory, which could interrupt manufacturing of its products and result in delays in shipments and revenues. In addition, lead times for materials and components that Chijet’s suppliers order may vary significantly and depend on factors such as the specific supplier, contract terms and demand for each component at a given time. If Chijet fails to order sufficient quantities of product components in a timely manner, the delivery of vehicles to its customers could be delayed, which would harm Chijet’s brand, business, financial condition and results of operations.

Chijet may be unable to grow its global product sales, delivery capabilities and its servicing and vehicle charging partnerships, or Chijet may be unable to accurately project and effectively manage its growth. If Chijet is unable to expand its distribution network and servicing capabilities, customers’ perceptions of Chijet could be negatively affected, which could materially and adversely affect Chijet’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Chijet’s success will depend on its ability to continue to expand its sales capabilities. As Chijet develops and grows its products worldwide, its success will depend on its ability to correctly forecast demand in various markets. If Chijet incorrectly forecasts its demand in one market, it cannot move this excess supply to another market where demand for Chijet products exists. Chijet may face difficulties with deliveries at increasing volumes, particularly in international markets requiring significant transit times. Moreover, because of Chijet’s unique expertise with its vehicles, Chijet recommends that its vehicles be serviced by Chijet or by certain authorized professionals. If Chijet experiences delays in adding servicing capacity or servicing its vehicles efficiently, or experiences unforeseen issues with the reliability of its vehicles, it could overburden Chijet’s servicing capabilities and parts inventory.

There is no assurance that Chijet will be able to ramp its business to meet its sales, delivery, manufacturing and servicing targets globally, or that Chijet’s projections on which such targets are based will prove accurate. These plans require significant cash investments and management resources and there is no guarantee that they will generate additional sales or manufacturing of Chijet’s products, or that Chijet will be able to avoid cost overruns or be able to hire additional personnel to support them. As Chijet expands, it will also need to ensure its compliance with regulatory requirements in various jurisdictions applicable to the manufacturing, sale and servicing of its products. If Chijet fails to manage its growth effectively, its brand, business, prospects, financial condition and operating results may be harmed.

Chijet may in the future experience significant delays in the design, development, manufacture, launch and financing of its vehicles, as well as delay in its constructions of factories, which could harm its business and prospects.

Any delay in the financing, development, design, manufacture and launch of Chijet’s vehicles, including planned future models, and any future electric vehicles could materially damage Chijet’s business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Automobile manufacturers often experience delays in the development, design, manufacture and commercial release of new vehicle models, and Chijet has experienced in the past, and may experience in the future, such delays with regard to its vehicles. Chijet’s plan to commercially manufacture and sell its vehicles is also dependent upon the timely availability of funds, upon Chijet’s finalizing of the related development, component procurement, testing, build-out and manufacturing plans in a timely manner and also upon Chijet’s ability to execute these plans within the planned timeline. Prior to mass production of its new models, Chijet will also need the vehicles to be fully approved for sale according to differing requirements, including but not limited to regulatory requirements, in the different geographies where Chijet intends to launch its vehicles.

Additionally, if Chijet does not timely complete its planned construction of additional factories, or if such construction is delayed, Chijet may be required to contract with third-party providers to perform certain manufacture activities and the additional cost could adversely affect Chijet’s business, results of operations.

Increases in costs, disruption of supply or shortage of materials, in particular for lithium-ion cells or semiconductors, could harm Chijet’s business. Chijet will need to maintain and significantly grow its access to battery cells and control its related costs.

As Chijet produces its vehicles, it may experience increases in the cost of or a sustained interruption in the supply or shortage of materials. Any such increase, supply interruption or shortage could materially and adversely impact Chijet’s business, results of operations, prospects and financial condition. The production of Chijet’s vehicles requires lithium-ion cells and semiconductors from suppliers, as well as aluminum, steel, lithium, nickel, copper, cobalt, neodymium, terbium, praseodymium and manganese. The prices for these materials fluctuate, and their available supply may be unstable, depending on market conditions, inflationary pressure and global demand for these materials, including as a result of increased production of electric vehicles and energy storage products by Chijet’s competitors, and could adversely affect Chijet’s business and results of operations. Chijet’s ability to manufacture its vehicles will depend on the continued supply of battery cells for the battery packs used in its products. Chijet has limited flexibility in changing battery cell suppliers, and any disruption in the supply of battery cells from such suppliers could disrupt production of Chijet’s vehicles until a different supplier is fully qualified. In particular, Chijet is exposed to multiple risks relating to lithium-ion cells. These risks include:

	●	the inability or unwillingness of current battery manufacturers to build or operate battery cell manufacturing plants to supply the numbers of lithium-ion cells required to support the growth of the electric vehicle industry as demand for such cells increases;

	●	an increase in the cost, or a decrease in the available supply, of materials, such as cobalt, used in lithium-ion cells;

	●	disruption in the supply of cells due to quality issues or recalls by battery cell manufacturers; and

	●	fluctuations in the value of any foreign currencies, RMB, USD or EUR in particular, in which battery cell and related raw material purchases are or may be denominated.

Furthermore, Chijet’s ability to manufacture its vehicles depends on continuing access to semiconductors and components that incorporate semiconductors. A global semiconductor supply shortage is having wide-ranging effects across multiple industries and the automotive industry in particular, and it has impacted many automotive suppliers and manufacturers, including Chijet, that incorporate semiconductors into the parts they supply or manufacture. Chijet has experienced and may continue to experience an impact on its operations as a result of the semiconductor supply shortage, and such shortage could in the future have a material impact on Chijet or its suppliers, which could delay production or force Chijet or its suppliers to pay exorbitant rates for continued access to semiconductors and could have a material and adverse effect on Chijet’s business, prospects and results of operations. In addition, prices and transportation expenses for these materials fluctuate depending on many factors beyond Chijet’s control, including fluctuations in supply and demand, currency fluctuations, tariffs and taxes, fluctuations and shortages in petroleum supply, freight charges, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and other economic and political factors. Substantial increases in the prices for Chijet’s materials or prices charged to Chijet, such as those charged by battery cell or semiconductor suppliers, would increase Chijet’s operating costs, and could reduce Chijet’s margins if it cannot recoup the increased costs through increased prices. Any attempt to increase product prices in response to increased material costs could result in cancellations of orders and reservations and materially and adversely affect Chijet’s brand, image, business, results of operations, prospects and financial condition.

The success and growth of Chijet’s business depends upon its ability to continuously and rapidly innovate, develop and market new products and there are significant risks related to future market adoption of Chijet’s products. Chijet’s limited operating history of NEVs makes evaluating its business and future prospects difficult and may increase the risk of your investment.

The success and growth of Chijet’s business depends upon its ability to continuously and rapidly innovate, develop and market new products, and there are significant risks related to future market adoption of Chijet’s products and government programs incentivizing consumers to purchase electric vehicles. Chijet has a limited operating history in NEVs and operates in a rapidly evolving and highly regulated market. Chijet has encountered and expects to continue to encounter risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by early-stage companies in rapidly changing markets, including risks relating to its ability to, among other things:

	●	successfully launch commercial production and sales of its vehicles on the timing and with the specifications Chijet has planned;

	●	hire, integrate and retain professional and technical talent, including key members of management;

	●	continue to make significant investments in research, development, manufacturing, marketing and sales;

	●	successfully obtain, maintain, protect and enforce its intellectual property and defend against claims of intellectual property infringement, misappropriation or other violations;

	●	build a well-recognized and respected brand;

	●	establish and refine its commercial manufacturing capabilities and distribution infrastructure;

	●	establish and maintain satisfactory arrangements with its strategic partners and suppliers;

	●	establish and expand a customer base;

	●	navigate an evolving and complex regulatory environment;

	●	anticipate and adapt to changing market conditions, including consumer demand for certain vehicle types, models or trim levels, technological developments and changes in competitive landscape; and

	●	successfully design, build, manufacture and market new models of electric vehicles at a profitable level in the future.

Chijet operates in an intensely competitive market, which is generally cyclical and volatile. Should Chijet not be able to compete effectively against its competitors then it is likely to lose market share, which could have a material and adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of Chijet.

The global automotive market, particularly for NEVs, is highly competitive, and Chijet expects it will become even more so in the future. In recent years, the electric vehicle industry has grown, with several companies that focus completely or partially on the electric vehicle market. Chijet expects additional companies to enter this market within the next several years. Chijet also competes with established automobile manufacturers in the vehicle segment, many of which have entered or have announced plans to enter the alternative fuel and electric vehicle market with either fully electric or plug-in hybrid versions of their vehicles . Many of Chijet’s current and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, manufacturing, marketing and other resources than Chijet does and may be able to devote greater resources to the design, development, manufacturing, distribution, promotion, sale, servicing and support of their products. In addition, many of these companies have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger and more established research and development team and sales forces, broader customer and industry relationships and other resources than Chijet does. Chijet’s competitors may be in a stronger position to respond quickly to new technologies and may be able to design, develop, market and sell their products more effectively than it does. Chijet expects competition in its industry to significantly intensify in the future in light of increased demand for new energy vehicles, continuing globalization, favorable governmental policies and consolidation in the worldwide automotive industry. Chijet’s ability to successfully compete in its industry will be fundamental to its future success in existing and new markets. Further, sales of vehicles in the automotive industry tend to be cyclical in many markets, which may expose Chijet to further volatility as it expands and adjusts its operations. Decreases in the retail or wholesale prices of electricity from utilities or other renewable energy sources could make Chijet’s products less attractive to customers. There can be no assurance that Chijet will be able to compete successfully in its markets.

Chijet’s business and prospects depend significantly on the Chijet and its subsidiaries’ brands. If Chijet is unable to maintain and enhance its brands and capture additional market share or if its reputation and business are harmed, it could have a material and adverse impact on Chijet’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Chijet’s business and prospects will heavily depend on its ability to develop, maintain and strengthen the “Chijet”, “Shandong Baoya” and “FAW Jilin” brands associated with design, affordability, sustainability and technological excellence. Promoting and positioning its brands will likely depend significantly on Chijet’s ability to provide a consistently high-quality customer experience. To promote its brands, Chijet may be required to change or expand its customer development and branding practices, which could result in substantially increased expenses, including the need to develop direct sale network, as well as to use traditional media such as television, radio and print advertising. In particular, any negative publicity, whether or not true, can quickly proliferate on social media and harm consumer perception and confidence in Chijet’s brands. Chijet’s ability to successfully position its brands could also be adversely affected by perceptions about the quality of its competitors’ vehicles or its competitors’ success. For example, certain of Chijet’s competitors have been subject to significant scrutiny for incidents involving their self-driving technology and battery fires, which could result in similar scrutiny of Chijet.

In addition, from time to time, Chijet’s vehicles may be evaluated and reviewed by third parties. Any negative reviews or reviews which compare Chijet unfavorably to competitors could adversely affect consumer perception about its vehicles and reduce demand for its vehicles, which could have a material and adverse effect on Chijet’s business, results of operations, prospects and financial condition.

Chijet’s sales will depend in part on its ability to establish and maintain confidence in its business prospects among consumers, analysts and others within its industry.

Consumers may be less likely to purchase Chijet’s products if they do not believe that its business will succeed or that its operations, including service and customer support operations, will continue for many years. Similarly, suppliers and other third parties will be less likely to invest time and resources in developing business relationships with Chijet if they are not convinced that its business will succeed. Accordingly, to build, maintain and grow its business, Chijet must establish and maintain confidence among customers, suppliers, analysts and other parties with respect to its liquidity and business prospects. Maintaining such confidence may be particularly difficult as a result of many factors, including Chijet’s limited operating history in NEVs, others’ unfamiliarity with its products, uncertainty regarding the future of electric vehicles, any delays in scaling production, delivery and service operations to meet demand, competition and Chijet’s production and sales performance compared with market expectations. Many of these factors are largely outside of Chijet’s control, and any negative perceptions about Chijet’s business prospects, even if exaggerated or unfounded, would likely harm its business and make it more difficult to raise additional capital in the future. In addition, a significant number of NEV companies have recently entered the automotive industry, which is an industry that has historically been associated with significant barriers to entry and a high rate of failure. If these new entrants or other manufacturers of electric vehicles go out of business, produce vehicles that do not perform as expected or otherwise fail to meet expectations, such failures may have the effect of increasing scrutiny of others in the industry, including Chijet, and further challenging customer, supplier and analyst confidence in Chijet’s business prospects.

The automotive industry has significant barriers to entry that Chijet must overcome in order to manufacture and sell electric vehicles at scale.

The automobile industry is characterized by significant barriers to entry, including large capital requirements, investment costs of developing, designing, manufacturing and distributing vehicles, long lead times to bring vehicles to market from the concept and design stage, the need for specialized design and development expertise, regulatory requirements, establishing a brand name and image and the need to establish sales and service locations. Since Chijet is focused on electric vehicles, it faces a variety of added challenges to entry that a traditional automobile manufacturer would not encounter, including additional costs of developing and producing an electric powertrain that has comparable performance to a traditional gasoline engine in terms of range and power, inexperience with selling and servicing electric vehicles, regulations associated with the transport of batteries, the need to establish or provide access to sufficient charging locations and unproven high-volume customer demand for fully electric vehicles. If Chijet is not able to overcome these barriers, its business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition will be negatively impacted, and its ability to grow its business will be harmed.

Chijet may be unable to adequately control the substantial costs associated with its operations.

Chijet will require significant capital to develop and grow its business, and will need to seek new financing in the future. Chijet has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant expenses, including leases, sales and distribution expenses as its builds its brand and markets its vehicles; expenses relating to developing and manufacturing its vehicles; tooling and expanding its manufacturing facilities; research and development expenses, raw material procurement costs; and general and administrative expenses as it scales its operations and incurs the costs of being a public company. In addition, Chijet expects to incur significant costs servicing and maintaining customers’ vehicles, including establishing its service operations, partnerships with service providers and facilities. These expenses could be significantly higher than Chijet currently anticipates. In addition, any delays in the start of testing or production, obtaining necessary equipment or supplies, expansion of Chijet’s manufacturing facilities or manufacturing agreements, or the procurement of permits and licenses relating to Chijet’s expected manufacturing, sales and distribution model could significantly increase Chijet’s expenses. In such event, Chijet could be required to seek additional financing earlier than it expects, and such financing may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

In the longer term, Chijet’s ability to become profitable in the future will depend on its ability not only to control costs, but also to sell in quantities and at prices sufficient to achieve its expected margins. If Chijet is unable to cost-efficiently develop, design, manufacture, market, sell, distribute and service its vehicles, its margins, profitability and prospects would be materially and adversely affected.

Chijet has incurred net losses each year since its inception. As of June 30, 2022, Chijet’s accumulated deficit was about $194 million. Chijet expects to continue this trend in the foreseeable future as it:

	●	continues to design and develop its vehicles;

	●	builds up inventories of parts and components for its vehicles;

	●	Completed its planned construction and manufactures an available inventory of its vehicles;

	●	develops and deploys vehicle servicing partnerships;

	●	expands its design, research, development, maintenance and repair capabilities;

	●	increases its sales and marketing activities and develops its distribution infrastructure; and

	●	expands its general and administrative functions to support its growing operations and status as a public company.

If Chijet’s product development or commercialization is delayed, its costs and expenses may be significantly higher than it currently expects. Because Chijet will incur the costs and expenses from these efforts before it receives any incremental revenues with respect thereto, Chijet expects its losses in future periods will be significant.

Chijet’s independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph relating to Chijet’s ability to continue as a going concern in its report on Chijet’s audited consolidated financial statements included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Chijet’s audited consolidated financial statements were prepared assuming that Chijet Group will continue as a going concern. However, the report of Chijet’s independent registered public accounting firm included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus contains an explanatory paragraph on Chijet’s consolidated financial statements stating there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, meaning that Chijet may not be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future or be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. Such an opinion could materially limit Chijet’s ability to raise additional funds through the issuance of new debt or equity securities or otherwise. There is no assurance that sufficient financing will be available when needed to allow Chijet to continue as a going concern. The perception that Chijet may not be able to continue as a going concern may also make it more difficult to raise additional funds or operate Chijet’s business due to concerns about its ability to meet contractual obligations.

Based on current operating plans, assuming successful completion of the Business Combination, availability of short-term and long-term equity and debt financing arrangements and financial support from existing Chijet shareholders, who may provide Chijet additional equity financing in the case Chijet is not able to meet financial liabilities, Chijet believes that it has resources to fund its operations for at least the next twelve months, but may require further funds to finance its activities thereafter. Chijet may also consider potential financing options with banks or other third parties. In the event the Business Combination is not completed as expected, Chijet Group may need to consider alternative arrangements and such arrangements could have a potentially significant negative impact on its ability to continue its operations.

Chijet depends on revenue generated from a limited number of models and expects this to continue in the foreseeable future.

Chijet currently depends on revenue generated from R-Series vehicle models, V-Series and T-Series, and in the foreseeable future will be significantly dependent on a limited number of models. Although Chijet has other vehicle models on its product pipeline, it currently does not expect to introduce another vehicle model for sale until March 31, 2023 or later. Chijet expects to rely on sales from HEV and EV, among other sources of financing, for the capital that will be required to develop and commercialize those subsequent models (see “—Risks Related to Financing and Strategic Transactions—Chijet will require additional capital to support business growth, and this capital might not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.”). To the extent that the development or the production of Chijet’s vehicles are delayed or reduced, or if the vehicles are not well-received by the market for any reason, Chijet’s revenues and cash flow would be adversely affected and it may need to seek additional financing earlier than it expects, and such financing may not be available to it on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

Chijet relies on its partnerships with vehicle charging networks to provide charging solutions for its vehicles.

Demand for Chijet’s vehicles will also depend in part on the availability of charging infrastructure. While the prevalence of charging stations has been increasing, charging station locations are significantly less widespread than gas stations. Some potential customers may choose not to purchase an electric vehicle because of the lack of a more widespread service network or charging infrastructure at the time of sale. Chijet’s ability to generate customer loyalty and grow its business could be impaired by a lack of satisfactory access to charging infrastructure. To the extent Chijet is unable to meet user expectations or experiences difficulties in providing charging solutions, demand for its vehicles may suffer, and Chijet’s reputation and business may be materially and adversely affected.

Chijet relies on its distributors and third-party service providers for servicing its vehicles and on their systems. If Chijet is unable to adequately address the service requirements of its customers, Chijet’s business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Chijet’s certain distributors and third-party service providers have limited experience servicing or repairing Chijet vehicles. This risk is enhanced by Chijet’s limited operating history and its limited data regarding its vehicles’ real-world reliability and service requirements. Servicing electric vehicles is different than servicing vehicles with internal combustion engines and requires specialized skills, including high voltage training and servicing techniques. As such, there can be no assurance that Chijet’s service arrangements adequately address the service requirements of its customers to their satisfaction, or that Chijet and its servicing partners have sufficient resources, experience or inventory to meet these service requirements in a timely manner as the volume of vehicles Chijet delivers increases. In addition, if Chijet is unable establish a widespread service network that provides satisfactory customer service, its customer loyalty, brand and reputation could be adversely affected, which in turn could materially and adversely affect its sales, results of operations, prospects and financial condition.

In addition, the motor vehicle industry laws in many jurisdictions require that service facilities be available to service vehicles physically sold from locations in the state. While Chijet anticipates developing a service program that would satisfy regulatory requirements in these circumstances, the specifics of its service program are still in development, and at some point may need to be restructured to comply with state law, which may impact Chijet’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Chijet’s customers will also depend on Chijet’s customer support team to resolve technical and operational issues relating to the integrated software underlying its vehicles. As Chijet grows, additional pressure may be placed on its customer support team or partners, and Chijet may be unable to respond quickly enough to accommodate short-term increases in customer demand for technical support. Chijet also may be unable to modify the future scope and delivery of its technical support to compete with changes in the technical support provided by its competitors. Increased customer demand for support, without corresponding revenue, could increase costs and negatively affect Chijet’s results of operations. If Chijet is unable to successfully address the service requirements of its customers, or if it establishes a market perception that it does not maintain high-quality support, its brand and reputation could be adversely affected, and it may be subject to claims from its customers, which could result in loss of revenue or damages, and its business, results of operations, prospects and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

If Chijet’s vehicles fail to perform as expected, its ability to develop, market and sell its products could be harmed.

Chijet’s vehicles may contain defects in components, software, design or manufacture that may cause them not to perform as expected or that may require repairs, recalls and design changes, any of which would require significant financial and other resources to successfully navigate and resolve. Chijet’s vehicles use a substantial amount of software code to operate, and software products are inherently complex and may contain defects and errors. If Chijet’s vehicles contain defects in design and manufacture that cause them not to perform as expected or that require repair, or certain features of Chijet’s vehicles take longer than expected to become available, are legally restricted or become subject to additional regulation, Chijet’s ability to develop, market and sell its products and services could be harmed. Efforts to remedy any issues Chijet observes in its products could significantly distract management’s attention from other important business objectives, may not be timely, may hamper production or may not be to the satisfaction of its customers. Further, Chijet’s limited operating history and limited field data reduce its ability to evaluate and predict the long-term quality, reliability, durability and performance characteristics of its battery packs, powertrains and vehicles. There can be no assurance that Chijet will be able to detect and fix any defects in its products prior to their delivery to customers.

Any defects, delays or legal restrictions on vehicle features, or other failure of Chijet’s vehicles to perform as expected, could harm Chijet’s reputation and result in delivery delays, product recalls, product liability claims, breach of warranty claims and significant warranty and other expenses, and could have a material and adverse impact on Chijet’s business, results of operations, prospects and financial condition. As a newer entrant to the industry attempting to build customer relationships and earn trust, these effects could be significantly detrimental to Chijet. Additionally, problems and defects experienced by other electric consumer vehicles could by association have a negative impact on perception and customer demand for Chijet’s vehicles.

In addition, even if its vehicles function as designed, Chijet expects that the battery efficiency, and hence the range, of its electric vehicles, like other electric vehicles that use current battery technology, will decline over time. Other factors, such as usage, time and stress patterns, may also impact the battery’s ability to hold a charge, or could require Chijet to limit vehicles’ battery charging ability for safety reasons or to protect battery capacity, which could further decrease Chijet’s vehicles’ range between charges. Such decreases in or limitations of battery capacity and therefore range, whether imposed by deterioration, software limitations or otherwise, could also lead to consumer complaints or warranty claims, including claims that prior knowledge of such decreases or limitations would have affected consumers’ purchasing decisions. There can be no assurance that Chijet will be able to improve the performance of its battery packs, or increase its vehicles’ range, in the future. Any such battery deterioration or capacity limitations and related decreases in range may negatively influence potential customers’ willingness to purchase Chijet’s vehicles and negatively impact its brand and reputation, which could adversely affect Chijet’s business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

Chijet must develop complex software and technology systems, including in coordination with its strategic partners, vendors and suppliers, in order to produce its electric vehicles, and there can be no assurance such systems will be successfully developed.

Chijet’s vehicles use a substantial amount of externally developed and in-house software and complex technological hardware to operate, some of which is still subject to further development and testing. The development and implementation of such advanced technologies is inherently complex, and Chijet will need to coordinate with its vendors and suppliers in order to integrate such technology into its electric vehicles and ensure it interoperates with other complex technology as designed and as expected. Chijet may fail to detect defects and errors that are subsequently revealed, and its control over the performance of other parties’ services and systems may be limited. Any defects or errors in, or which are attributed to, Chijet’s technology, could result in, among other things:

	●	delayed production and delivery of Chijet’s vehicles;

	●	delayed market acceptance of Chijet’s vehicles;

	●	loss of customers or the inability to attract new customers;

	●	diversion of engineering or other resources for remedying the defect or error;

	●	damage to Chijet’s brand or reputation;

	●	increased service and warranty costs;

	●	legal action by customers or third parties, including product liability claims; and

	●	penalties imposed by regulatory authorities.

In addition, if Chijet is unable to develop the software and technology systems necessary to operate its vehicles, Chijet’s competitive position will be harmed. Chijet relies on its strategic partners and suppliers to develop a number of technologies for use in its products, including hybrid system installed in Chijet vehicles and independent developers developing third-party apps for Chijet vehicles. There can be no assurances that Chijet’s strategic partners and suppliers will be able to meet the technological requirements, production timing and volume requirements to support Chijet’s business plan. Furthermore, Chijet may not be able to acquire exclusive intellectual property rights for such developed technologies and hardware. In addition, such technology may not satisfy the cost, performance useful life and warranty characteristics Chijet anticipates in its business plan, which could materially and adversely affect Chijet’s business, prospects and results of operations.

Chijet’s vehicle production relies heavily on complex machinery and involves a significant degree of risk and uncertainty in terms of operational performance and costs.

Chijet’s vehicle production relies heavily on complex machinery and involves a significant degree of uncertainty and risk in terms of operational performance and costs. The existing plants and the planned manufacturing plants for Chijet’s vehicles will consist of large-scale machinery combining many components. These manufacturing plant components are likely to suffer unexpected malfunctions from time to time and will depend on repairs and spare parts to resume operations, which may not be available when needed.

Unexpected malfunctions of the manufacturing plant components may significantly affect the intended operational efficiency of Chijet. Operational performance and costs can be difficult to predict and are often influenced by factors outside of Chijet’s control, such as, but not limited to, scarcity of natural resources, environmental hazards and remediation, costs associated with decommissioning of machines, labor disputes and strikes, difficulty or delays in obtaining governmental permits, damages or defects in electronic systems, industrial accidents, pandemics, fire, seismic activity and natural disasters. Should operational risks materialize, it may result in the personal injury to or death of workers, the loss of production equipment, damage to manufacturing facilities, monetary losses, delays and unanticipated fluctuations in production, environmental damage, administrative enforcement actions and fines, increased insurance costs and potential legal liabilities, all which could have a material and adverse effect on Chijet’s business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition or prospects.

Chijet relies on its partners to manufacture parts of the vehicles and these partners may have limited experience in producing electric vehicles. Further, Chijet relies on sufficient production capacity being available and/or allocated to it by its partners in order to manufacture parts of its vehicles. Delays in the timing of expected business milestones and commercial launches, including Chijet’s ability to mass produce its electric vehicles and/or complete and/or expand its manufacturing capabilities, could materially and adversely affect Chijet’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Although Chijet currently has manufacturing facilities, Chijet may rely on its contract manufacturing arrangements with its partners to manufacture parts of current and future Chijet models. Chijet cannot provide any assurance as to whether its partners will be able to develop efficient, automated, low-cost production capabilities and processes and reliable sources of component supply that will enable Chijet to meet the quality, price, engineering, design and production standards, as well as the production volumes, required to successfully mass market its vehicles. Even if Chijet’s partners are successful in developing high volume production capabilities and processes and reliably source their component supplies, no assurance can be given as to whether they will be able to do so in a manner that avoids significant delays and cost overruns, including as a result of factors beyond their and Chijet’s control such as problems with suppliers and vendors, or force majeure events, or in time to meet Chijet’s commercialization schedules or to satisfy the requirements of customers and potential customers. Any failure to develop such production processes and capabilities within Chijet’s projected costs and timelines could have a material and adverse effect on its business, results of operations, prospects and financial condition. Bottlenecks and other unexpected challenges may also arise as Chijet ramps production, and it will be important that Chijet address these challenges promptly while continuing to control its manufacturing costs. If Chijet is not successful in doing so, or if it experiences issues with its manufacturing process improvements, it could face delays in establishing and/or sustaining its production ramps or be unable to meet its related cost and profitability targets.

Chijet faces risks associated with international operations, including tariffs and unfavorable regulatory, political, tax and labor conditions, which could materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

As part of its growth strategy, Chijet intends to expand its sales, maintenance and repair services and manufacturing activities to new countries in the coming years. However, Chijet has limited experience to date manufacturing, selling or servicing its vehicles, and such expansion would require it to make significant expenditures, including the hiring of local employees, in advance of generating any revenue. Chijet is subject to a number of risks associated with international business activities that may increase its costs, impact its ability to sell, service and manufacture its vehicles and require significant management attention. These risks include:

	●	conforming Chijet’s vehicles to various international regulatory requirements where its vehicles are sold, or homologation;

	●	establishing localized supply chains and managing international supply chain and logistics costs;

	●	establishing sufficient charging points for Chijet’s customers in those jurisdictions, via partnerships or, if necessary, via development of its own charging networks;

	●	difficulty in staffing and managing foreign operations;

	●	difficulties attracting customers in new jurisdictions;

	●	difficulties establishing international manufacturing operations, including difficulties establishing relationships with or establishing localized supplier bases and developing cost-effective and reliable supply chains for such manufacturing operations;

	●	taxes, regulations and permit requirements, including taxes imposed by one taxing jurisdiction that Chijet may not be able to offset against taxes imposed upon it in another relevant jurisdiction, and foreign tax and other laws limiting its ability to repatriate funds to another relevant jurisdiction;

	●	fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, including risks related to any forward currency contracts, interest rate swaps or other hedging activities Chijet undertakes;

	●	United States and foreign government trade restrictions, tariffs and price or exchange controls;

	●	foreign labor laws, regulations and restrictions;

	●	changes in diplomatic and trade relationships, including political risk and customer perceptions based on such changes and risks;

	●	political instability, natural disasters, pandemics (including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic), war or events of terrorism; and

	●	the strength of international economies.

If Chijet fails to successfully address these risks, its business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition could be materially harmed.

The growing presence increases Chijet’s sensitivity to the economic, operational and legal risks specific to China. For example, China’s economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many aspects, including, but not limited to, the degree of government involvement, level of corruption, control of capital investment, reinvestment control of foreign exchange, control of intellectual property, allocation of resources, growth rate and development level. Although the Chinese government has implemented measures since the late 1970s emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, including the reduction of state ownership of productive assets, and the establishment of improved corporate governance in business enterprises, which are generally viewed as a positive development for foreign business investment, a substantial portion of productive assets in China is still owned by the Chinese government. In addition, the Chinese government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies. The Chinese government also exercises significant control over economic growth in China through allocating resources, controlling payments of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.

While China’s economy has experienced significant growth over the past decades, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the rate of growth has been slowing down, particularly in view of the effects of government actions to address the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including significant closures of businesses in 2022. For example, prolonged government mandated quarantines and lockdowns in China during 2022 due to further outbreaks of COVID-19 has resulted in delays in the production and delivery of such critical components and delayed production of Chijet vehicles. Please also see “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus—The Parties to the Business Combination—Chijet—Recent Developments” for more information on government mandated quarantines and lockdowns in China due to COVID-19, their impact on the production and timely delivery of critical components for Chijet vehicles by supplies and their impact on anticipated Chijet car volumes. Some of the governmental measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on Chijet. For example, Chijet’s financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. Higher inflation could adversely affect Chijet’s results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses, may increase as a result of higher inflation. In addition, the Chinese government has implemented in the past certain measures to control the pace of economic growth. These measures may cause decreased economic activity, which in turn could lead to a reduction in demand for Chijet’s products and services, and consequently have a material and adverse effect on Chijet’s businesses, financial condition and results of operations.

It is unclear whether and how Chijet’s current or future business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations may be affected by changes in China’s economic, political and social conditions and in its laws, regulations and policies. In addition, many of the economic reforms carried out by the Chinese government are unprecedented or experimental and are expected to be refined and improved over time. This refining and improving process may not necessarily have a positive effect on Chijet’s operations and business development.

Additionally, the legal system in China is not fully developed and there are inherent uncertainties that may affect the protection afforded to Chijet for its business and activities in China that are governed by the Chinese laws and regulations. Any administrative and court proceedings in China may be protracted, resulting in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Since administrative and court authorities in China have significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory and contractual terms, it may be more difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative and court proceedings and the level of legal protection for Chijet than in more developed legal systems. These uncertainties may impede Chijet’s ability to enforce contracts and could materially and adversely affect Chijet’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Chinese government may intervene in or influence Chijet’s and Chijet’s partners’ operations in China at any time, which could result in a material change in Chijet’s operations and ability to produce vehicles

The Chinese government exerts substantial influence, discretion, oversight and control over the manner in which companies incorporated under the laws and regulations of China must conduct their business activities, including activities relating to overseas offerings of securities and/or foreign investments in such companies. Chijet is incorporated under the laws of Cayman Islands and has subsidiaries with operations in mainland China. That may result in a material adverse change in Chijet’s and its partners’ operations and cause the value of Chijet’s securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

The Chinese government has recently published new policies that significantly affected certain industries such as the education and internet industries, and Chijet, albeit not engaging in such industries, cannot rule out the possibility that the Chinese government will in the future release regulations or policies regarding Chijet’s industry that could require Chijet and its partners to seek permission from Chinese authorities to continue operating, which may adversely affect Chijet’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in Chinese policies, regulations and rules may be quick with little advance notice and the enforcement of laws of the Chinese government is uncertain and could have a significant impact upon Chijet’s and its partners’ ability to operate profitably.

Chijet relies on its operations and facilities located in China. Accordingly, economic, political and legal developments in China will significantly affect Chijet’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Policies, regulations, rules and the enforcement of laws of the Chinese government can have significant effects on economic conditions in China and the ability of businesses to operate profitably. Chijet’s ability to operate profitably may be adversely affected by rapid and unexpected changes in policies by the Chinese government, including changes in laws, regulations, their interpretation and their enforcement.

Chijet may be adversely affected by the complexity, uncertainties and changes in the regulations on internet-related business, automotive businesses and other business carried out by Chijet’s operating entities in China.

The Chinese government extensively regulates the internet and automotive industries and other business carried out by Chijet’s operating entities in China. Such laws and regulations are relatively new and evolving, and their interpretation and enforcement involve significant uncertainties. As a result, in certain circumstances it may be difficult to determine what actions or omissions may be deemed to be in violation of applicable laws and regulations.

Several regulatory authorities in China, such as the State Administration for Market Regulation, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Commerce, oversee different aspects of the electric vehicle business, and Chijet’s operating entities in China are required to obtain a wide range of government approvals, licenses, permits and registrations in connection with their operations in China. For example, certain filings must be made by automobile dealers through the information system for the national automobile circulation operated by the relevant commerce department within 90 days after the receipt of a business license. Furthermore, the electric vehicle industry is relatively immature in China, and the government has not adopted a clear regulatory framework to regulate the industry.

There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of the existing laws, regulations and policies and possible new laws, regulations or policies in China relating to internet-related businesses as well as automotive businesses and companies. There is no assurance that Chijet will be able to obtain all the permits or licenses related to its business in China, or will be able to maintain its existing permits and licenses or obtain new ones. In the event that the Chinese government considers that Chijet was or is operating without the proper approvals, licenses or permits, promulgates new laws and regulations that require additional approvals or licenses, or imposes additional restrictions on the operation of any part of Chijet’s business, the Chinese government has the power, among other things, to levy fines, confiscate Chijet’s income, revoke its business licenses and require Chijet to discontinue the relevant business or impose restrictions on the affected portion of its business. Any of these actions by the Chinese government may have a material and adverse effect on Chijet’s business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

If Chijet updates or discontinues the use of its manufacturing equipment more quickly than expected, it may have to shorten the useful lives of any equipment to be retired as a result of any such update, and the resulting acceleration in Chijet’s depreciation could negatively affect its financial results.

Chijet has invested and expects to continue to invest significantly in what it believes is necessary, including tooling, machinery and other manufacturing equipment, and Chijet depreciates the cost of such equipment over its expected useful lives. However, manufacturing technology may evolve rapidly, and Chijet may decide to update its manufacturing processes more quickly than expected. Moreover, as Chijet ramps the commercial production of its vehicles, Chijet’s experience may cause it to discontinue the use of already installed equipment in favor of different or additional equipment. The useful life of any equipment that would be retired early as a result would be shortened, causing the depreciation on such equipment to be accelerated, and Chijet’s results of operations could be negatively impacted.

Chijet’s operating and financial results forecasts and projections rely in large part upon assumptions and analyses developed by it. If the assumptions or analyses that Chijet made in connection with its projections and forecasts prove to be incorrect, Chijet’s actual results of operations may be materially different from its forecasted results.

Any projections appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, reflect Chijet’s estimates of future performance as June 30, 2022, incorporating certain financial and operational assumptions based on information available at the time the forecasts were made and should not be regarded as an indication that Chijet or any other recipient of this information considered, or now considers, it to be predictive of actual future results. In addition, such projections incorporate assumptions relating to (a) sales volumes and revenues, which could be significantly impacted by economic events and consumer demand for Chijet’s vehicles, (b) Chijet’s expectation to complete its construction of new plants, which could be impacted by government approvals, fund and time constraints and other factors, (c) projected growth in the NEV market; and (d) Chijet’s ability to start and scale production of its electric vehicles, and introduce new models, on the timeline and at the quantities planned.

100

In addition, the projected financial and operating information incorporates assumptions about Chijet’s ability to maintain an effective cost structure, which could be impacted by the prices of commodities and other inputs, wage inflation, logistics costs, infrastructure and utilities costs, the costs of specialized equipment and tooling, research and development costs, facilities costs and numerous other factors. These assumptions were preliminary and there can be no assurance that the actual results upon which Chijet’s assumptions were based will be in line with its expectations at the time the forecasts were made. As an early-stage company in a rapidly evolving industry, Chijet has limited data on which to base its projections of its future performance and has limited experience forecasting revenues and volumes. The projections also reflect assumptions as to certain business strategies or plans that are subject to change. As a result, the inclusion of such forecasts in this proxy statement/prospectus should not be relied on as “guidance” or otherwise predictive of actual future events, and actual results may differ materially from the projections. Whether actual operating and financial results and business developments will be consistent with the expectations and assumptions reflected in the projections depend on a number of factors, many of which are outside of Chijet’s control, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described elsewhere in this section. If Chijet fails to meet its own financial or operating forecasts, including those relating to development of new models, volumes and revenues, or those of securities analysts, the value of the Post-Combination Company’s securities could be significantly and adversely affected.

Chijet’s adoption of a traditional dealer distribution network combined with a direct sale approach could limit opportunities to generate sales.

Chijet does leverage the existing network of dealers partnered with FAW Jilin as a pipeline of potential operators of Chijet Locations or distributors (depending on the distribution approach in each region). Moreover, Chijet competes with automakers with well-established distribution channels. If Chijet’s adoption of a traditional dealer distribution network combined with a direct sale approach results in lost opportunities to generate sales, it could limit Chijet’s ability to grow. Chijet’s expansion of its network of retail locations and service points may not fully meet users’ expectations. Chijet’s success will depend in large part on its ability to effectively develop its own sales channels and marketing strategies. Implementing its business model is subject to numerous challenges, including obtaining permits and approvals from government authorities, and Chijet may not be successful in addressing these challenges.

Insufficient reserves to cover future warranty or part replacement needs or other vehicle repair requirements, including any potential software upgrades, could have a material and adverse effect on Chijet’s business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Chijet provides a manufacturer’s warranty on all vehicles, components and systems it sells. Chijet needs to maintain reserves to cover part replacement and other vehicle repair needs, including any potential software upgrades or warranty claims. Warranty reserves will include Chijet’s management team’s best estimate of the projected costs to repair or to replace items under warranty. Such estimates are inherently uncertain, particularly in light of Chijet’s limited operating history and the limited field data available to it, and changes to such estimates based on real-world observations may cause material changes to Chijet’s warranty reserves in the future. If Chijet’s reserves are inadequate to cover future maintenance requirements on its vehicles, its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. Chijet may become subject to significant and unexpected expenses as well as claims from its customers, including loss of revenue or damages. There can be no assurances that then-existing reserves will be sufficient to cover all claims. In addition, if future laws or regulations impose additional warranty obligations on Chijet that go beyond Chijet’s manufacturer’s warranty, Chijet may be exposed to materially higher warranty, parts replacement and repair expenses than it expects, and its reserves may be insufficient to cover such expenses.

Chijet may be subject to risks associated with advanced driver assistance system technology. Chijet is also working on adding autonomous driving technology to its vehicles and expects to be subject to the risks associated with this technology. Chijet cannot guarantee that its vehicles will achieve its targeted assisted or autonomous driving functionality within its projected timeframe, or ever.

Chijet’s vehicles are planned to be designed with the advanced driver assistance system (“ADAS”) hardware, and Chijet expects to launch automation functionalities and additional capabilities, including autonomous driving (“AD”), over time. ADAS/AD technologies are emerging and subject to known and unknown risks, and there have been accidents and fatalities associated with such technologies. The safety of such technologies depends in part on user interaction, and users, as well as other drivers on the roadways, may not be accustomed to using or adapting to such technologies. In addition, self-driving technologies are the subject of intense public scrutiny and interest, and previous accidents involving autonomous driving features in other vehicles, including alleged failures or misuse of such features, have generated significant negative media attention and government investigations. To the extent accidents associated with Chijet’s ADAS or AD technologies occur, Chijet could be subject to significant liability, negative publicity, government scrutiny and further regulation. Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect Chijet’s results of operations, financial condition and growth prospects.

101

In addition, Chijet faces substantial competition in the development and deployment of ADAS/AD technologies. Many of Chijet’s competitors and established automakers devoted significant time and resources to developing ADAS/AD technologies. If Chijet is unable to develop competitive or more advanced ADAS/AD technologies in-house or acquire access to such technology via partnerships or investments in other companies or assets, it may be unable to equip its vehicles with competitive ADAS/AD features, which could damage its brand, reduce consumer demand for its vehicles or trigger cancellations of reservations and could have a material and adverse effect on its business, results of operations, prospects and financial condition. ADAS/AD technologies are also subject to considerable regulatory uncertainty, which exposes Chijet to additional risks.

Uninsured losses, including losses resulting from product liability, accidents, acts of God and other claims against Chijet, could result in payment of substantial damages, which would decrease Chijet’s cash reserves and could harm its cash flow and financial condition.

In the ordinary course of business, Chijet may be subject to losses resulting from product liability, accidents, acts of God and other claims against it, for which it may have no insurance coverage. While Chijet currently carries commercial general liability, commercial automobile liability, excess liability, product liability, crime, cargo stock throughput, property, workers’ compensation, employment practices, production and directors’ and officers’ insurance policies, it may not maintain as much insurance coverage as other companies do, and in some cases, it may not maintain any at all. Additionally, the policies it does have may include significant deductibles, and it cannot be certain that its insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover all or any future claims against it. A loss that is uninsured or exceeds policy limits may require Chijet to pay substantial amounts, which could adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations. Further, insurance coverage may not continue to be available to Chijet or, if available, may be at a significantly higher cost, especially if insurance providers perceive any increase in Chijet’s risk profile in the future.

Chijet’s vehicles will make use of lithium-ion battery cells, which have been observed to catch fire or vent smoke and flame.

The battery packs within Chijet’s vehicles make use of lithium-ion cells. On rare occasions, lithium-ion cells can rapidly release the energy they contain by venting smoke and flames in a manner that can ignite nearby materials as well as other lithium-ion cells. Any such events or failures of Chijet’s vehicles, battery packs or warning systems could subject Chijet to lawsuits, product recalls, or redesign efforts, all of which would be time consuming and expensive. Also, negative public perceptions regarding the suitability of lithium-ion cells for automotive applications or any future incident involving lithium-ion cells, such as a vehicle or other fire, even if such incident does not involve Chijet’s vehicles, could seriously harm Chijet’s business and reputation.

Moreover, any failure of a competitor’s electric vehicle or energy storage product, as well as the mishandling of battery cells or a safety issue or fire or related to the cells at partners’ manufacturing facilities, may cause indirect adverse publicity for Chijet and its products. Such adverse publicity could negatively affect Chijet’s brand and harm its business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

Chijet’s ability to generate meaningful product revenue will depend on consumer adoption of electric vehicles. However, the market for electric vehicles is still evolving and changes in governmental programs incentivizing consumers to purchase electric vehicles, fluctuations in energy prices, the sustainability of electric vehicles and other regulatory changes might negatively impact adoption of electric vehicles by consumers. If the pace and depth of electric vehicle adoption develops more slowly than Chijet expects, its revenue may decline or fail to grow, and Chijet may be materially and adversely affected.

Chijet is focusing on developing electric vehicles and, accordingly, its ability to generate meaningful product revenue will highly depend on sustained consumer demand for alternative fuel vehicles in general and electric vehicles in particular. If the market for electric vehicles does not develop as Chijet expects or develops more slowly than it expects, or if there is a decrease in consumer demand for electric vehicles, Chijet’s business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations will be harmed. The market for electric and other alternative fuel vehicles is relatively new and rapidly evolving and is characterized by rapidly changing technologies, price competition, additional competitors, evolving government regulations (including government incentives and subsidies) and industry standards, frequent new vehicle announcements and changing consumer demands and behaviors. Any number of changes in the industry could negatively affect consumer demand for electric vehicles in general and Chijet’s electric vehicles in particular.

102

In addition, demand for electric vehicles may be affected by factors directly impacting automobile prices or the cost of purchasing and operating automobiles such as sales and financing incentives like tax credits, prices of raw materials and parts and components, cost of fuel or electricity, availability of consumer credit and governmental regulations, including tariffs, import regulation and other taxes. Volatility in demand may lead to lower vehicle unit sales, which may result in downward price pressure and adversely affect Chijet’s business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Further, sales of vehicles in the automotive industry tend to be cyclical in many markets, which may expose Chijet to increased volatility, especially as it expands and adjusts its operations and retail strategies. Specifically, it is uncertain how such macroeconomic factors will impact Chijet as a newer entrant in an industry that has globally been experiencing a recent decline in sales.

Other factors that may influence the adoption of electric vehicles include:

	●	perceptions about electric vehicle quality, safety, design, performance and cost;

	●	perceptions about the limited range over which electric vehicles may be driven on a single battery charge;

	●	perceptions about the total cost of ownership of electric vehicles, including the initial purchase price and operating and maintenance costs, both including and excluding the effect of government and other subsidies and incentives designed to promote the purchase of electric vehicles;

	●	concerns about electric grid capacity and reliability;

	●	perceptions about the sustainability and environmental impact of electric vehicles, including with respect to both the sourcing and disposal of materials for electric vehicle batteries and the generation of electricity provided in the electric grid;

	●	the availability of other alternative fuel vehicles, including plug-in hybrid electric vehicles;

	●	improvements in the fuel economy of the internal combustion engine;

	●	the quality and availability of service for electric vehicles, especially in international markets;

	●	volatility in the cost of oil, gasoline and electricity;

	●	government regulations and economic incentives promoting fuel efficiency and alternative forms of energy;

	●	access to charging stations and the cost to charge an electric vehicle, especially in international markets, and related infrastructure costs and standardization;

	●	the availability of tax and other governmental incentives to purchase and operate electric vehicles or future regulation requiring increased use of nonpolluting vehicles; and

	●	macroeconomic factors.

The influence of any of the factors described above or any other factors may cause a general reduction in consumer demand for electric vehicles or Chijet’s electric vehicles in particular, either of which would materially and adversely affect Chijet’s business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

103

Developments in electric vehicle or alternative fuel technology or improvements in the internal combustion engine may adversely affect the demand for Chijet’s vehicles.

Chijet may be unable to keep up with changes in electric vehicle technology or alternatives to electricity as a fuel source and, as a result, its competitiveness may suffer. Significant developments in alternative technologies, such as alternative battery cell technologies, hydrogen fuel cell technology, advanced gasoline, ethanol or natural gas or improvements in the fuel economy of the internal combustion engine, may materially and adversely affect Chijet’s business and prospects in ways it does not currently anticipate. Existing and other battery cell technologies, fuels or sources of energy may emerge as customers’ preferred alternative to the technologies in Chijet’s electric vehicles. Any failure by Chijet to develop new or enhanced technologies or processes, or to react to changes in existing technologies, could materially delay its development and introduction of new and enhanced electric vehicles, which could result in the loss of competitiveness of its vehicles, decreased revenues and a loss of market share to competitors. In addition, Chijet expects to compete in part on the basis of its vehicles’ range, efficiency, charging speeds and performance, and improvements in the technology offered by competitors could reduce demand for Chijet’s vehicles. As technologies change, Chijet plans to upgrade or adapt its vehicles and introduce new models that reflect such technological developments, but its vehicles may become obsolete, and its research and development efforts may not be sufficient to adapt to changes in alternative fuel and electric vehicle technology. Additionally, as new companies and larger, existing vehicle manufacturers continue to enter the electric vehicle space, Chijet may lose any technological advantage it may have and suffer a decline in its competitive position. Any failure by Chijet to successfully react to changes in existing technologies or the development of new technologies could materially harm its competitive position and growth prospects.

The global COVID-19 outbreak and the global response could continue to affect Chijet’s business and operations.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic poses risks to Chijet’s business, including through its impact on general economic conditions; manufacturing and supply chain operations; stay-at-home orders; and global financial markets. The pandemic’s impact on economic conditions has led to a global decrease in vehicle sales in markets around the world. Its continued impact on the economy, even after the pandemic has subsided, could lead consumers to further reduce spending, delay purchases of Chijet’s vehicles or cancel their orders for Chijet’s vehicles. Because of Chijet’s brand positioning and pricing, an economic downturn is likely to have a heightened adverse effect on it, compared to many of its electric vehicle and traditional automotive industry competitors, to the extent that consumer demand for luxury goods is reduced in favor of lower-priced alternatives. Any economic recession or other downturn could also cause logistical challenges and other operational risks if any of Chijet’s suppliers, sub-suppliers or partners becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to continue its operations. Further, the immediate or prolonged effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could significantly affect government finances and, accordingly, the continued availability of incentives related to electric vehicle purchases and other governmental support programs.

The spread of COVID-19 has also periodically disrupted the manufacturing operations of other vehicle manufacturers and their suppliers. Any such disruptions to Chijet or to its suppliers could result in delays and could negatively affect its production volume. Please also see “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus—The Parties to the Business Combination—Chijet—Recent Developments” for more information on government mandated quarantines and lockdowns in China due to COVID-19, their impact on the production and timely delivery of critical components for Chijet vehicles by supplies and their impact on anticipated Chijet car volumes.

The pandemic has resulted in the imposition of travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place and stay-at-home orders and business shutdowns. These measures pose numerous operational risks and logistical challenges to Chijet’s business. In addition, regional, national and international travel restrictions may result in adverse impacts to Chijet’s supply chain. Further, Chijet’s sales and marketing activities have been, and may in the future be, adversely affected due to the cancellation or reduction of in-person sales activities, meetings, events and conferences. The transition of Chijet’s personnel to a mostly remote workforce has also increased demand on its information technology resources and systems and increased data privacy and cybersecurity risks. These restrictive measures could be in place for a significant period of time and may be reinstituted or replaced with more burdensome restrictions if conditions deteriorate, which could adversely affect Chijet’s manufacturing and sales and distribution plans and timelines.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in extreme volatility in the global financial markets, which could increase Chijet’s cost of capital or limit its ability to access financing when needed. Broader impacts of the pandemic also include inflationary pressure, which impacts the cost at which Chijet can manufacture vehicles. The severity, magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic and regulatory consequences are rapidly changing and uncertain. Accordingly, Chijet cannot predict the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

104

Chijet’s facilities or operations could be and have been adversely affected by events outside of its control, such as natural disasters, wars, health epidemics or pandemics or security incidents.

Chijet may be impacted by natural disasters, wars, health epidemics or pandemics or other events outside of its control. Further, if major disasters such as earthquakes, wildfires, tornadoes or other events occur, or if Chijet’s information system or communications network breaks down or operates improperly, Chijet’s facilities and manufacturing may be seriously damaged or affected, or Chijet may have to stop or delay production and shipment of its products. In addition, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has impacted economic markets, manufacturing operations, supply chains, employment and consumer behavior in nearly every geographic region and industry across the world, and Chijet has been, and may in the future be, adversely affected as a result. Furthermore, Chijet could be impacted by physical security incidents at its facilities, which could result in significant damage to such facilities that could require Chijet to delay or discontinue production of its vehicles. Chijet may incur significant expenses or delays relating to such events outside of its control, which could have a material adverse impact on its business, results of operations and financial condition.

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has, and is likely to continue to, generate uncertain geopolitical conditions, including sanctions that could adversely affect Chijet’s business prospects and results of operations.

Russia and Ukraine are not Chijet markets, and there are no plans to launch in either market in the near future. Nevertheless, the uncertain geopolitical conditions, sanctions, and other potential impacts on the global economic environment resulting from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine may weaken demand for Chijet’s vehicles, which could make it difficult for Chijet to forecast its financial results and manage its inventory levels. The uncertainty surrounding these conditions and the current, and potentially expanded, scope of international sanctions against Russia may cause unanticipated changes in customers’ buying patterns, adversely impact operations of our suppliers, or interrupt Chijet’s ability to source products from this region. Sanctions have also created supply constraints and driven inflation that has impacted, and may continue to impact, Chijet’s operations and could create or exacerbate risks facing Chijet’s business.

While we do not believe that we have any “Tier 1” suppliers from Russia, car production is a complex process, with thousands of components sourced from all over the world. There can be no assurance, therefore, that there will not be some components sourced from suppliers subject to sanctions against Russia nor that the resulting disruption to the supply chain will not have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations. In the event geopolitical tensions deteriorate further or fail to abate, additional governmental sanctions may be enacted that could adversely impact the global economy, banking and monetary systems, markets, and the operations of Chijet and its suppliers.

If vehicle owners customize Chijet vehicles or change the infrastructure with aftermarket products, the vehicle may not operate properly, which may create negative publicity and could harm Chijet’s business.

Automobile enthusiasts may seek to alter Chijet’s vehicles to modify their performance, which could compromise vehicle safety systems. Also, customers may customize their vehicles with after-market parts that can compromise driver safety. Chijet does not test, nor does it endorse, such changes or products. In addition, the use of improper external cabling or unsafe charging outlets can expose customers to injury from high voltage electricity. Such unauthorized modifications could reduce the safety of Chijet’s vehicles and any injuries resulting from such modifications could result in adverse publicity that would negatively affect Chijet’s brand and harm its business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

Risks Related to Cybersecurity and Data Privacy

Chijet relies on its IT systems and any material disruption to its IT systems could have a material and adverse effect on Chijet.

The availability and effectiveness of Chijet’s services depend on the continued operation of its information technology and communications systems. Chijet relies on its IT systems, and such systems are vulnerable to damage or interruption from, among other adverse effects, fire, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, power loss, telecommunications failures, computer viruses, computer denial of service attacks or other attempts to harm its systems. Chijet’s products and services are also highly technical and complex and may contain errors or vulnerabilities that could result in interruptions in its services or the failure of its systems or the systems on which it relies.

105

Any unauthorized control or manipulation of Chijet’s products, digital sales tools and systems could result in loss of confidence in Chijet and its products.

Chijet’s products contain complex information technology systems. Chijet expects to collect, store, transmit and otherwise process data from vehicles, customers, employees and other third parties as part of its business operations, which may include personal data or confidential or proprietary information. Chijet also works with third parties that collect, store and process such data on its behalf and also uses digital tools to sell vehicles to its customers. Chijet has created a foundation of security polices and an information security directive and is in the process of creating and testing information security policies to deployed systems. Chijet is creating measures to implement such policies, including encryption technologies, to prevent unauthorized access and plans to continue deploying additional security measures as it grows. Chijet’s third-party service providers and vendors will also be obliged to take steps to protect the security and integrity of Chijet’s and their information technology systems and Chijet’s and their customers’ information. However, there can be no assurance that such systems and measures will not be compromised as a result of intentional misconduct, including by employees, contractors or vendors, as well as by software bugs, human error or technical malfunctions.

Furthermore, hackers may in the future attempt to gain unauthorized access to, modify, alter and use Chijet’s vehicles, products, digital sales tools and systems to (i) gain control of, (ii) change the functionality, user interface and performance characteristics of or (iii) gain access to data stored in or generated by, Chijet’s vehicles, products, digital sales tools and systems. Advances in technology, an increased level of sophistication and diversity of Chijet’s products, digital sales tools and services, an increased level of expertise of hackers and new discoveries in the field of cryptography could lead to a compromise or breach of the measures that Chijet or its service providers uses. Chijet and its service providers’ systems have in the past and may in the future be affected by security incidents. Chijet’s systems are also vulnerable to damage or interruption from, among other things, physical theft, fire, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, power loss, war, telecommunications failures, computer viruses, computer denial or degradation of service attacks, ransomware, social engineering schemes, domain name spoofing, insider theft or misuse or other attempts to harm its products and systems. Chijet’s and its service providers’ or vendors’ data centers could be subject to break-ins, sabotage and intentional acts of vandalism causing potential disruptions. Some of Chijet’s systems will not be fully redundant. Further, its disaster recovery planning is not yet fully developed and cannot account for all eventualities. Any problems at Chijet’s or its service providers’ or vendors’ data centers could result in lengthy interruptions in Chijet’s service. There can be no assurance that any security or other operational measures that Chijet or its service providers or vendors have implemented will be effective against any of the foregoing threats or issues.

If Chijet is unable to protect its products, digital sales tools and systems (and the information stored on such platforms) from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, destruction or other breach, such problems or security breaches could have negative consequences for its business and future prospects, subjecting Chijet to substantial fines, penalties, damages and other liabilities under applicable laws and regulations, incurring substantial costs to respond to, investigate and remedy such incidents, reducing customer demand for Chijet’s products, harming its reputation and brand and compromising or leading to a loss of protection of its intellectual property or trade secrets. In addition, regardless of their veracity, reports of unauthorized access to Chijet’s vehicles, systems or data, as well as other factors that may result in the perception that its vehicles, systems or data are capable of being “hacked,” could negatively affect Chijet’s brand. In addition, some members of the U.S. federal government, including certain members of Congress and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”), have recently focused attention on automotive cybersecurity issues and may in the future propose or implement regulations specific to automotive cybersecurity. In addition, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe has introduced new regulations governing connected vehicle cybersecurity, which became effective in January 2021 and are expected to apply in the European Union to all new vehicle types beginning in July 2022 and to all new vehicles produced from July 2024. Such regulations are also in effect, or expected to come into effect, in certain other international jurisdictions. These and other regulations could adversely affect Chijet’s future business in Europe and other markets, and if such regulations or other future regulations are inconsistent with Chijet’s approach to automotive cybersecurity, Chijet would be required to modify its systems to comply with such regulations upon entry of such markets, which would impose additional costs and delays and could expose Chijet to potential liability to the extent its automotive cybersecurity systems and practices are inconsistent with such regulation.

106

In addition, Chijet’s vehicles depend on the ability of software and hardware to store, retrieve, process and manage immense amounts of data. Chijet’s software and hardware, including any over-the-air or other updates, may contain, errors, bugs, design defects or vulnerabilities, and its systems may be subject to technical limitations that may compromise its ability to meet its objectives. Some errors, bugs or vulnerabilities may be inherently difficult to detect and may only be discovered after code has been released for external or internal use. Although Chijet will attempt to remedy any issues it observes in its vehicles as effectively and rapidly as possible, such efforts may not be timely, may hamper production or may not be to the satisfaction of its customers. Additionally, if Chijet is able to deploy updates to the software addressing any issues, but its over-the-air update procedures fail to properly update the software, Chijet’s customers would then need to arrange for installing such updates to the software, and their software may be subject to deficiencies and vulnerabilities until they do so. Any compromise of Chijet’s intellectual property, proprietary information, systems or vehicles or inability to prevent or effectively remedy errors, bugs, vulnerabilities or defects in Chijet’s software and hardware may cause Chijet to suffer lengthy interruptions to its ability to operate its business and its customers’ ability to operate their vehicles, damage to Chijet’s reputation, loss of customers, loss of revenue, governmental fines, investigations or litigation or liability for damages, any of which could materially and adversely affect its business, results of operations, prospects and financial condition.

Data privacy concerns are generally increasing, which could result in new legislation, in negative public perception of Chijet’s current data collection practices and certain of its services or technologies and/or in changing user behaviors that negatively affect Chijet’s business and product development plans.

In the course of its operations, Chijet collects, uses, stores, discloses, transfers and otherwise processes personal information from its customers, employees and third parties with whom it conducts business, including names, accounts, user IDs and passwords and payment or transaction related information. Additionally, Chijet uses its vehicles’ electronic systems to log information about vehicle use, such as charge time, battery usage, mileage and driving behavior, in order to aid it in vehicle diagnostics, repair and maintenance, as well as to help it customize and improve the driving experience.

Data privacy concerns of consumers are generally increasing, which could result in new legislation, in negative public perception of Chijet’s current data collection practices and certain of its services or technologies and/or in changing user behaviors that negatively affect Chijet’s business and product development plans.

Chijet is subject to evolving laws, regulations, standards, policies and contractual obligations related to data privacy, security and consumer protection, and any actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could harm Chijet’s reputation and brand, subject Chijet to significant fines and liability, or otherwise adversely affect its business.

Due to Chijet’s data collection practices, products, services and technologies, upon entries into relevant jurisdiction, Chijet will be subject to or affected by a number of federal, state, local and international laws and regulations, as well as contractual obligations and industry standards, that impose certain obligations and restrictions with respect to data privacy and security and govern its collection, storage, retention, protection, use, processing, transmission, sharing and disclosure of personal information including that of Chijet’s employees, customers and other third parties with whom Chijet conducts business. These laws, regulations and standards may be interpreted and applied differently over time and from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and it is possible that they will be interpreted and applied in ways that may have a material and adverse impact on Chijet’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The global data protection landscape is rapidly evolving, and implementation standards and enforcement practices are likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. Chijet may not be able to monitor and react to all developments in a timely manner. The European Union adopted the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), which became effective on May 25, 2018, and California adopted the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), which became effective in January 2020. Both the GDPR and the CCPA impose additional obligations on companies regarding the handling of personal data and provides certain privacy rights to individual persons whose data is collected. Compliance with existing, proposed and recently enacted laws and regulations (including implementation of the privacy and process enhancements called for under the GDPR and CCPA) can be costly, and any failure to comply with these regulatory standards could subject Chijet to legal and reputational risks.

Specifically, the CCPA establishes a privacy framework for covered businesses, including an expansive definition of personal information and data privacy rights for California residents. The CCPA includes a framework with potentially severe statutory damages for violations and a private right of action for certain data breaches. The CCPA requires covered businesses to provide California residents with new privacy-related disclosures and new ways to opt-out of certain uses and disclosures of personal information. As Chijet expands its operations, the CCPA may increase its compliance costs and potential liability. Some observers have noted that the CCPA could mark the beginning of a trend toward more stringent privacy legislation in the United States. Additionally, effective in most respects starting on January 1, 2023, the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”) will significantly modify the CCPA, including by expanding California residents’ rights with respect to certain sensitive personal information. The CPRA also creates a new state agency that will be vested with authority to implement and enforce the CCPA and the CPRA.

107

Other jurisdictions have begun to propose similar laws. Compliance with applicable privacy and data security laws and regulations is a rigorous and time-intensive process, and Chijet may be required to put in place additional mechanisms to comply with such laws and regulations, which could cause Chijet to incur substantial costs or require Chijet to change its business practices, including its data practices, in a manner adverse to its business. In particular, certain emerging privacy laws are still subject to a high degree of uncertainty as to their interpretation and application. Failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations or to secure personal information could result in investigations, enforcement actions and other proceedings against Chijet, which could result in substantial fines, damages and other liability as well as damage to Chijet’s reputation and credibility, which could have a negative impact on revenues and profits.

Chijet posts public privacy policies on its websites and provides privacy notices to the categories of persons whose personal information it collects, processes, uses or discloses. Although Chijet endeavors to comply with its published policies and other documentation, Chijet may at times fail to do so or may be perceived to have failed to do so. Moreover, despite its efforts, Chijet may not be successful in achieving compliance if its employees, contractors, service providers, vendors or other third parties fail to comply with its published policies and documentation. Such failures could carry similar consequences or subject Chijet to potential local, state and federal action if they are found to be deceptive, unfair or misrepresentative of Chijet’s actual practices. Claims that Chijet has violated individuals’ privacy rights or failed to comply with data protection laws or applicable privacy notices could, even if Chijet is not found liable, be expensive and time-consuming to defend and could result in adverse publicity that could harm its business.

Most jurisdictions have enacted laws requiring companies to notify individuals, regulatory authorities and other third parties of security breaches involving certain types of data. Such laws may be inconsistent or may change or additional laws may be adopted. In addition, Chijet’s agreements with certain customers may require it to notify them in the event of a security breach. Such mandatory disclosures are costly, could lead to negative publicity, penalties or fines, litigation and Chijet’s customers losing confidence in the effectiveness of its security measures, and could require it to expend significant capital and other resources to respond to or alleviate problems caused by the actual or perceived security breach. Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect Chijet’s business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Related to Chijet’s Employees and Human Resources

Chijet’s ability to effectively manage its growth relies on the performance of highly skilled personnel, including its Chief Executive Officer Mu Hongwei, its senior management team and other key employees, and Chijet’s ability to recruit and retain key employees. The loss of key personnel or an inability to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel may impair Chijet’s ability to expand its business.

Chijet’s success is substantially dependent upon the continued service and performance of its senior management team and key personnel with digital, technical and automotive expertise. Although Chijet anticipates that its management and key personnel will remain in place following the Business Combination, it is possible that Chijet could lose some key personnel. For example, Chijet is highly dependent on the services of Mu Hongwei, its Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Mu has a significant influence on and is a driver of Chijet’s business plan and business, design and technology development. If Mr. Mu were to discontinue his service to Chijet, Chijet would be significantly disadvantaged. The replacement of any members of Chijet’s senior management team or other key personnel likely would involve significant time and costs and may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of Chijet’s business objectives. Chijet’s future success also depends, in part, on its ability to continue to attract, integrate and retain highly skilled personnel.

Competition for highly skilled personnel is frequently intense. As with any company, there can be no guarantee that Chijet will be able to attract such individuals or that the presence of such individuals will necessarily translate into Chijet’s profitability. Because Chijet operates in a newly emerging industry, there may also be limited personnel available with relevant business experience, and such individuals may be subject to non-competition and other agreements that restrict their ability to work for Chijet. Chijet’s inability to attract and retain key personnel may materially and adversely affect Chijet’s business operations. Any failure by Chijet’s management to effectively anticipate, implement and manage the changes required to sustain Chijet’s growth would have a material and adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

108

Misconduct by Chijet’s employees and independent contractors during and before their employment with Chijet could expose Chijet to potentially significant legal liabilities, reputational harm and/or other damages to its business.

Many of Chijet’s employees play critical roles in ensuring the safety and reliability of its vehicles and/or its compliance with relevant laws and regulations. Certain of Chijet’s employees have access to sensitive information and/or proprietary technologies and know-how. While Chijet has adopted codes of conduct for all of its employees and implemented policies relating to intellectual property, confidentiality and the protection of company assets, Chijet cannot assure you that its employees will always abide by these codes, policies and procedures, nor that the precautions Chijet takes to detect and prevent employee misconduct will always be effective. If any of Chijet’s employees engages in any misconduct, illegal or suspicious activities, including but not limited to misappropriation or leakage of sensitive customer information or proprietary information, Chijet and such employees could be subject to legal claims and liabilities and Chijet’s reputation and business could be adversely affected as a result.

In addition, while Chijet has screening procedures during the recruitment process, Chijet cannot assure you that it will be able to uncover misconduct of job applicants that occurred before Chijet offered them employment, or that Chijet will not be affected by legal proceedings against its existing or former employees as a result of their actual or alleged misconduct. Any negative publicity surrounding such cases, especially in the event that any of Chijet’s employees is found to have committed any wrongdoing, could negatively affect Chijet’s reputation and may have an adverse impact on its business.

Furthermore, Chijet faces the risk that its employees and independent contractors may engage in other types of misconduct or other illegal activity, such as intentional, reckless or negligent conduct that violates production standards, workplace health and safety regulations, fraud, abuse or consumer protection laws, other similar non-U.S. laws or laws that require the true, complete and accurate reporting of financial information or data. It is not always possible to identify and deter misconduct by employees and other third parties, and the precautions Chijet takes to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting Chijet from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to be in compliance with such laws or regulations. In addition, Chijet is subject to the risk that a person or government could allege such fraud or other misconduct, even if none occurred. If any such actions are instituted against Chijet and Chijet is not successful in defending itself or asserting its rights, those actions could have a significant impact on Chijet’s business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations, including, without limitation, the imposition of significant civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, monetary fines, disgorgement, integrity oversight and reporting obligations to resolve allegations of non-compliance, imprisonment, other sanctions, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings and curtailment of Chijet’s operations, any of which could adversely affect its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Litigation and Regulation

Chijet is subject to evolving laws and regulations that could impose substantial costs, legal prohibitions or unfavorable changes upon its operations or products, and any failure to comply with these laws and regulations, including as they evolve, could result in litigation and substantially harm its business and results of operations.

Chijet has been subject to complex environmental, manufacturing, health and safety laws and regulations at numerous jurisdictional levels, including laws relating to the use, handling, storage, recycling, disposal and human exposure to hazardous materials and with respect to constructing, expanding and maintaining its facilities. For example, Chijet is subject to laws, regulations and regulatory agencies like the Provisions on the Administration of Investments in the Automotive Industry in China. The costs of compliance, including remediating contamination if any is found on Chijet’s properties and any changes to Chijet’s operations mandated by new or amended laws, may be significant. Chijet may also face unexpected delays in obtaining permits and approvals required by such laws in connection with the manufacturing and sale of its vehicles, which would hinder its ability to conduct its operations. Such costs and delays may adversely impact its business prospects and results of operations. Furthermore, any violations of these laws may result in litigation, substantial fines and penalties, remediation costs, third party damages or a suspension or cessation of Chijet’s operations.

109

In addition, motor vehicles are subject to substantial regulation under international, federal, state and local laws. Chijet has incurred, and expects to continue to incur, significant costs in complying with these regulations. Any failures to comply could result in litigation, significant expenses, delays or fines. Generally, vehicles must meet or exceed mandated motor vehicle safety standards to be certified under applicable regulations. Rigorous testing and the use of approved materials and equipment are among the requirements for achieving certification. Any future vehicles will be subject to substantial regulation under federal, state and local laws and standards. These regulations include those promulgated by various government agencies and compliance certification is required for each new model year and changes to the model within a model year. These laws and standards are subject to change from time to time, and Chijet could become subject to additional regulations in the future, which would increase the effort and expense of compliance. In addition, federal, state and local laws and industrial standards for electric vehicles are still developing, and Chijet faces risks associated with changes to these regulations, which could have an impact on the acceptance of its electric vehicles, and increased sensitivity by regulators to the needs of established automobile manufacturers with large employment bases, high fixed costs and business models based on the internal combustion engine, which could lead them to pass regulations that could reduce the compliance costs of such established manufacturers or mitigate the effects of government efforts to promote electric vehicles. Compliance with these regulations is challenging, burdensome, time consuming and expensive. If compliance results in litigation, delays or substantial expenses, Chijet’s business could be adversely affected.

Chijet or its subsidiaries may have undertaken, or in the future may choose to or be compelled to undertake, product recalls or to take other actions that could result in litigation and adversely affect its business, prospects, results of operations, reputation and financial condition.

Product recalls, if any occur, may result in litigation and adverse publicity and may damage Chijet’s reputation and adversely affect its business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition. In the future, Chijet may, voluntarily or involuntarily, initiate a recall if any of its electric vehicles or components (includingits battery cells) prove to be defective or noncompliant with applicable federal motor vehicle safety standards. If a large number of vehicles are the subject of a recall or if needed replacement parts are not in adequate supply, Chijet may be unable to service and repair recalled vehicles for a significant period of time. These types of disruptions could jeopardize Chijet’s ability to fulfill existing contractual commitments or satisfy demand for its electric vehicles and could also result in the loss of business to its competitors. Such recalls, whether caused by systems or components engineered or manufactured by Chijet or its suppliers, would involve significant expense and diversion of management’s attention and other resources, which could adversely affect Chijet’s brand image in its target market and its business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

Chijet may in the future be subject to legal proceedings, regulatory disputes and governmental inquiries that could cause it to incur significant expenses, divert its management’s attention and materially harm its business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

From time to time, Chijet may be subject to claims, lawsuits, government investigations and other proceedings involving product liability, consumer protection, competition and antitrust, intellectual property, privacy, securities, tax, labor and employment, health and safety, its direct distribution model, environmental claims, commercial disputes, corporate and other matters that could adversely affect its business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. In the ordinary course of business, Chijet has been the subject of complaints or litigation, including claims.

Litigation and regulatory proceedings may be protracted and expensive, and the results are difficult to predict. Additionally, Chijet’s litigation costs could be significant, even if it achieves favorable outcomes. Adverse outcomes with respect to litigation or any of these legal proceedings may result in significant settlement costs or judgments, penalties and fines, or require Chijet to modify, make temporarily unavailable or stop manufacturing or selling its vehicles in some or all markets, all of which could negatively affect its sales and revenue growth and adversely affect its business, prospects, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

110

The results of litigation, investigations, claims and regulatory proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, and determining reserves for pending litigation and other legal and regulatory matters requires significant judgment. There can be no assurances that Chijet’s expectations will prove correct, and even if these matters are resolved in Chijet’s favor or without significant cash settlements, these matters, and the time and resources necessary to litigate or resolve them, could harm Chijet’s business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. In addition, the threat or announcement of litigation or investigations by governmental authorities or other parties, irrespective of the merits of the underlying claims, may itself have an adverse impact on the trading price of Pubco’s securities.

Chijet may become subject to product liability claims, which could harm its financial condition and liquidity if it is not able to successfully defend or insure against such claims.

Chijet may become subject to product liability claims, which could harm its business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition. The automotive industry experiences significant product liability claims, and Chijet faces inherent risks of exposure to claims in the event its vehicles do not perform or are claimed not to perform as expected or malfunction, resulting in property damage, personal injury or death. Chijet also expects that, as is true for other automakers, Chijet’s vehicles will be involved in crashes resulting in death or personal injury, and even if not caused by the failure of its vehicles, Chijet may face product liability claims and adverse publicity in connection with such incidents. In addition, Chijet may face claims arising from or related to failures, claimed failures or misuse of new technologies that Chijet expects to offer, including ADAS/AD features and future upgrades in its vehicles. In addition, the battery packs that Chijet utilizes make use of lithium-ion cells. On rare occasions, lithium-ion cells can rapidly release the energy they contain by venting smoke and flames in a manner that can ignite nearby materials as well as other lithium-ion cells (see “—Risks Related to Chijet’s Business and Industry—Chijet’s vehicles will make use of lithium-ion battery cells, which have been observed to catch fire or vent smoke and flame.”). Any such events or failures of Chijet’s vehicles, battery packs or warning systems could subject it to lawsuits, product recalls or redesign efforts, all of which would be time consuming and expensive.

A successful product liability claim against Chijet could require it to pay a substantial monetary award. Moreover, a product liability claim against Chijet or its competitors could generate substantial negative publicity about its vehicles and business and inhibit or prevent commercialization of its future vehicles, which would have material and adverse effects on its brand, business, prospects and results of operations. Chijet’s insurance coverage might not be sufficient to cover all potential product liability claims, and insurance coverage may not continue to be available to Chijet or, if available, may be at a significantly higher cost. Any lawsuit seeking significant monetary damages or other product liability claims may have a material and adverse effect on Chijet’s reputation, business and financial condition.

Chijet’s suppliers and manufacturing partner’s may be exposed to delays, limitations and risks related to the environmental permits and other operating permits required to operate manufacturing facilities for its vehicles.

Operation of an automobile manufacturing facility requires land use and environmental permits and other operating permits from federal, state and local government entities. Chijet may expand its manufacturing capacities by entering into into additional agreements with its suppliers and manufacturing partners over time to achieve a future target production capacity and will be required to apply for and secure various environmental, wastewater and land use permits and certificates of occupancy necessary for the commercial operation of such expanded and additional facilities and will also rely on its partners’ ability to apply for and secure various environmental, wastewater and land use permits and certificates of occupancy necessary for the commercial operation of such expanded and additional facilities. Delays, denials or restrictions on any of the applications for or assignment of the permits to operate Chijet’s manufacturing facilities could adversely affect its ability to execute on its business plans and objectives based on its current target production capacity or its future target production capacity.

If Chijet fails to implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting, it may be unable to accurately report its results of operations, meet reporting obligations or prevent fraud. As a result, Pubco’s security holders could lose confidence in its financial and other public reporting, which would harm its business and trading price of Pubco securities.

In the course of auditing consolidated financial statements, Chijet’s independent registered public accounting firm and Chijet had identified two material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal controls, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The two material weaknesses that have been identified relate to (i) lack of sufficient internal capabilities and resources with relevant experience, skills and knowledge in accounting and financial reporting under the requirements of U.S. GAAP and rules set forth by the SEC to prepare financial statements and related footnote disclosures in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and (ii) lack of regular reconciliations with third-party suppliers and customers, which increases the risk of inaccurate financial reporting because transactions could be improperly recorded and the misstatements might not be identified and corrected on a timely basis. For details, see “Chijet’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations --Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.”

Although Chijet has begun to implement measures to address the material weaknesses, the implementation of these measures may not fully address the material weaknesses and deficiencies in its internal control over financial reporting, and it cannot conclude that it has been fully remedied. In the future Chijet may determine that it has additional material weaknesses, or its independent registered public accounting firm may disagree with its management assessment of the effectiveness of its internal controls. Chijet’s failure to correct the material weaknesses or failure to discover and address any other material weaknesses or control deficiencies could result in inaccuracies in its financial statements and could also impair its ability to comply with applicable financial reporting requirements and related regulatory filings on a timely basis, which could cause investors to lose confidence in its reported financial information, which may result in volatility in and a decline in the market price of Pubco securities.

Furthermore, it is possible that, had Chijet’s independent registered public accounting firm conducted an audit of its internal control over financial reporting, such accountant might have identified additional material weaknesses and deficiencies. Upon completion of this Business Combination, Chijet will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco. Pubco will be subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or Section 404, will require that the Pubco include a report from management on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting in its annual report on Form 20-F beginning with annual report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, assuming that the business combination date would be completed after May 2023. In addition, once Chijet ceases to be an “emerging growth company” as such term is defined in the JOBS Act, its independent registered public accounting firm must attest to and report on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. Chijet’s management may conclude that its internal control over financial reporting is not effective. Moreover, even if Chijet’s management concludes that its internal control over financial reporting is effective, Chijet’s independent registered public accounting firm, after conducting its own independent testing, may issue a report that is qualified if it is not satisfied with Chijet’s internal controls or the level at which Chijet’s controls are documented, designed, operated or reviewed, or if it interprets the relevant requirements differently from Chijet. In addition, the reporting obligations may place a significant strain on Chijet’s management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future. Chijet may be unable to timely complete our evaluation testing and any required remediation.

Chijet is subject to various environmental, health and safety laws and regulations that could impose substantial costs on it and cause delays in expanding its production capabilities.

Chijet’s manufacturing partners’ operations are subject to environmental laws and regulations in different jurisdictions. Environmental, health and safety laws and regulations are complex, and Chijet has limited experience complying with them. Moreover, Chijet may be affected by future amendments to such laws or other new environmental, health and safety laws and regulations which may require it to change its operations, potentially resulting in a material and adverse effect on its business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition. These laws can give rise to liability for administrative oversight costs, cleanup costs, property damage, bodily injury, fines and penalties. Capital and operating expenses needed to comply with environmental laws and regulations can be significant, and violations could result in litigation and substantial fines and penalties, third-party damages, suspension of production or a cessation of operations.

Chijet is planning to introduce ADAS/AD technology, which is subject to uncertain and evolving regulations.

Chijet expects to introduce ADAS/AD technologies into its vehicles over time. ADAS/AD technology is subject to considerable regulatory uncertainty as the law in different jurisdictions evolves to catch up with the rapidly evolving nature of the technology itself, all of which is beyond Chijet’s control. There is a variety of government regulations that may apply to self-driving and driver-assisted vehicles, which include many existing vehicle standards that were not originally intended to apply to vehicles that may not have a driver. Self-driving laws and regulations are expected to continue to evolve in numerous jurisdictions in China and foreign countries, which increases the likelihood of a patchwork of complex or conflicting regulations that may delay products or restrict self-driving features and availability, which could adversely affect Chijet’s business. Any such requirements or limitations could impose significant expense or delays and could harm its competitive position, which could adversely affect Chijet’s business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

The unavailability, reduction, elimination or the conditionality of certain government and economic programs could have a material and adverse effect on Chijet’s business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Chijet has benefited from government subsidies, economic incentives and government policies that support the growth of electric vehicles. These government and economic programs are subject to certain limits as well as changes that are beyond Chijet’s control, and Chijet cannot assure you that future changes, if any, would be favorable to its business and could result in margin pressures. For example, if government regulations and economic programs have the effect of imposing electric vehicle production quotas on automobile manufacturers, the market for electric vehicles may become oversaturated. Further, any uncertainty or delay in collection of the government subsidies may also have an adverse impact on Chijet’s financial condition. Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect Chijet’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Further, Chijet may not be able to obtain or agree on acceptable terms and conditions for all or a significant portion of the government grants, loans and other incentives for which it may apply. As a result, Chijet’s business and prospects may be adversely affected.

Risks Related to Intellectual Property

Chijet may fail to adequately obtain, maintain, enforce and protect its existing and future intellectual property and licensing rights, and may not be able to prevent third parties from unauthorized use of its intellectual property and proprietary technology. If Chijet is unsuccessful in any of the foregoing, its competitive position could be harmed and it could be required to incur significant expenses to enforce its rights.

Chijet’s ability to compete effectively is dependent in part upon its ability to obtain, maintain, enforce and protect its existing and future intellectual property, proprietary technology and licensing rights, but it may not be able to prevent third parties from the unauthorized use of its intellectual property and proprietary technology, which could harm its business and competitive position. Chijet establishes and protects its intellectual property and proprietary technology through a combination of licensing agreements, nondisclosure and confidentiality agreements and other contractual provisions, as well as through patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws in China. Despite Chijet’s efforts to obtain and protect intellectual property rights, there can be no assurance that these protections will be available in all cases, or will guarantee Chijet’s success in claiming the intellectual property rights, or will be adequate or timely to prevent Chijet’s competitors or other third parties from copying, reverse engineering or otherwise obtaining and using Chijet’s technology or products or seeking court declarations that they do not infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate Chijet’s intellectual property. Failure to adequately obtain, maintain, enforce and protect Chijet’s intellectual property could result in its competitors offering identical or similar products, potentially resulting in the loss of Chijet’s competitive advantage and a decrease in its revenue, which would adversely affect its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

The measures Chijet takes to obtain, maintain, protect and enforce its intellectual property, including preventing unauthorized use by third parties, may not be effective for various reasons, including the following:

	●	any patent application Chijet files may not result in the issuance of a patent;

	●	Chijet may not be the first inventor of the subject matter to which it has filed a particular patent application, and/or it may not be the first party to file such a patent application;

112

	●	the scope of Chijet’s issued patents may not be sufficient to protect its inventions and proprietary technology;

	●	Chijet’s issued patents may be challenged by its competitors or other third parties and invalidated by courts or other tribunals;

	●	patents have a finite term, and competitors and other third parties may offer identical or similar products after the expiration of Chijet’s patents that cover such products;

	●	Chijet’s employees, contractors or business partners may breach their confidentiality, non-disclosure and non-use obligations;

	●	Chijet may not be able to claim rights to the intellectual property rights it collaborates with third-parties to develop; or may not be the exclusive licensee to a developed patents or technology;

	●	competitors and other third parties may independently develop technologies that are the same or similar to Chijet’s;

	●	the costs associated with enforcing patents or other intellectual property rights, or confidentiality and invention assignment agreements may make enforcement impracticable; and

	●	competitors and other third parties may circumvent or otherwise design around Chijet’s patents or other intellectual property.

Patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws vary significantly throughout the world. The laws of some countries, including countries in which Chijet’s products are produced or will be sold, may not be as protective as the laws in the United States, and mechanisms for obtaining and enforcing intellectual property rights may be ineffectual or inadequate. Further, policing the unauthorized use of Chijet’s intellectual property in some jurisdictions may be difficult or too expensive to be practical. In addition, third parties may seek to challenge, invalidate or circumvent Chijet’s patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets or other intellectual property, or applications for any of the foregoing, which could permit Chijet’s competitors or other third parties to develop and commercialize products and technologies that are the same or similar to Chijet’s.

While Chijet has registered and applied for registration of trademarks in an effort to protect its brand and goodwill with customers, competitors or other third parties have in the past and may in the future oppose its trademark applications or otherwise challenge Chijet’s use of the trademarks and other brand names in which it has invested. Such oppositions and challenges can be expensive and may adversely affect Chijet’s ability to maintain the goodwill gained in connection with a particular trademark. In addition, Chijet may lose its trademark rights if it is unable to submit specimens or other evidence of use by the applicable deadline to perfect such trademark rights.

Furthermore, Chijet cannot be certain that these agreements will not be breached and that third parties will not improperly gain access to its trade secrets, know-how and other proprietary technology. Third parties may also independently develop the same or substantially similar proprietary technology. Monitoring unauthorized use of Chijet’s intellectual property is difficult and costly, as are the steps Chijet has taken or will take to prevent misappropriation.

Chijet has acquired or licensed, and plans to further acquire licenses, patents and other intellectual property from third parties, including suppliers and service providers, and it may face claims that its use of this acquired or in-licensed technology infringes, misappropriates or otherwise violates the intellectual property rights of third parties. In such cases, Chijet will seek indemnification from its licensors or other applicable entities. However, Chijet’s rights to indemnification may be unavailable or insufficient to cover its costs and losses. Furthermore, disputes may arise with Chijet’s licensors or other applicable entities regarding the intellectual property subject to, and any of Chijet’s rights and obligations under, any license or other commercial agreement.

113

To prevent the unauthorized use of Chijet’s intellectual property, it may be necessary to prosecute actions for infringement, misappropriation or other violation of Chijet’s intellectual property against third parties. Any such action could result in significant costs and diversion of Chijet’s resources and management’s attention, and there can be no assurances that Chijet will be successful in any such action, and may result in a loss of intellectual property rights. Furthermore, many of Chijet’s current and potential competitors have the ability to dedicate substantially greater resources to enforce their intellectual property rights than Chijet currently does. Accordingly, despite its efforts, Chijet may not be able to prevent third parties from infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating its intellectual property. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect Chijet’s business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Chijet uses other parties’ software and other intellectual property in its proprietary software, including “open source” software. Any inability to continuously use such software or other intellectual property in the future could have a material adverse impact Chijet’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Chijet uses open source software in its products and anticipates using open source software in the future. Some open source software licenses require those who distribute open source software as part of their own software product to publicly disclose all or part of the source code to such software product or to make available any derivative works of the open source code on unfavorable terms or at no cost, and Chijet may be subject to such terms. The terms of many open source licenses to which Chijet is subject have not been interpreted by U.S. or other courts, and there is a risk that open source software licenses could be construed in a manner that imposes unanticipated conditions or restrictions on Chijet’s ability to provide or distribute its products or services. Any actual or claimed requirement to disclose Chijet’s proprietary source code or pay damages for breach of contract could harm Chijet’s business and could help third parties, including Chijet’s competitors, develop products and services that are similar to or better than Chijet’s. While Chijet monitors its use of open source software and tries to ensure that none is used in a manner that would require it to disclose its proprietary source code or that would otherwise breach the terms of an open source agreement, such use could inadvertently occur, or could be claimed to have occurred. Additionally, Chijet could face claims from third parties claiming ownership of, or demanding release of, the open source software or derivative works that it developed using such software, which could include its proprietary source code, or otherwise seeking to enforce the terms of the applicable open source license. These claims could result in litigation and could require Chijet to make its software source code freely available, purchase a costly license or cease offering the implicated products or services unless and until it can re-engineer them to avoid infringement, which may be a costly and time-consuming process, and Chijet may not be able to complete the re-engineering process successfully.

Additionally, the use of certain open source software can lead to greater risks than use of other parties’ commercial software, as open source licensors generally do not provide warranties or controls on the origin of software. There is typically no support available for open source software, and Chijet cannot ensure that the authors of such open source software will implement or push updates to address security risks or will not abandon further development and maintenance. Many of the risks associated with the use of open source software, such as the lack of warranties or assurances of title or performance, cannot be eliminated, and could, if not properly addressed, negaively affect Chijet’s business. Any of these risks could be difficult to eliminate or manage and, if not addressed, could have a material and adverse effect on Chijet’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Chijet may become subject to claims of intellectual property infringement by third parties which, regardless of merit, could be time-consuming and costly and result in significant legal liability, and could negatively impact Chijet’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Chijet’s competitors or other third parties may hold or obtain patents, copyrights, trademarks or other proprietary rights that could prevent, limit or interfere with Chijet’s ability to make, use, develop, sell or market Chijet’s products and services, which could make it more difficult for Chijet to operate. From time to time, the holders of such intellectual property rights may assert their rights and urge Chijet to take licenses and/or may bring suits alleging infringement or misappropriation of such rights, which could result in substantial costs, negative publicity and management attention, regardless of merit. While Chijet endeavors to obtain and protect the intellectual property rights that it expects will allow it to retain or advance its strategic initiatives, there can be no assurance that it will be able to adequately identify and protect the portions of intellectual property that are strategic to its business, or mitigate the risk of potential suits or other legal demands by its competitors. Accordingly, Chijet may consider entering into licensing agreements with respect to such rights, although no assurance can be given that such licenses can be obtained on acceptable terms or that litigation will not occur, and such licenses and associated litigation could significantly increase Chijet’s operating expenses. In addition, if Chijet is determined to have or believes there is a high likelihood that it has infringed upon a third party’s intellectual property rights, it may be required to cease making, selling or incorporating certain components or intellectual property into its goods and services, to pay substantial damages and/or license royalties, to redesign its products and services and/or to establish and maintain alternative branding for its products and services. In the event that Chijet is required to take one or more such actions, its brand, business, financial condition and operating results may be harmed.

114

Risks Related to Financing and Strategic Transactions

Chijet will require additional capital to support business growth, and this capital might not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

Chijet anticipates that it will need to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings. Chijet’s business is capital-intensive, and Chijet expects that the costs and expenses associated with its planned operations will continue to increase in the near term. Chijet does not expect to achieve positive cash flow from operations in the short term, if at all. Chijet’s plan to grow its business is dependent upon the timely availability of funds and further investment in development, component procurement, testing and the build-out of manufacturing capabilities. In addition, the fact that Chijet has a limited operating history means that it has limited historical data on the demand for its vehicles. As a result, Chijet’s future capital requirements are uncertain, and actual capital requirements may be greater than what it currently anticipates.

If Chijet raises additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, the Pubco’s shareholders could suffer significant dilution and economic loss, and any new equity securities the Pubco issues could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of Chijet’s current equity securities. Any debt financing in the future could involve additional restrictive covenants relating to the Pubco’s capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for the Pubco to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions.

Chijet may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to it, if at all. Chijet’s ability to obtain such financing could be adversely affected by a number of factors, including general conditions in the global economy and in the global financial markets, including recent volatility and disruptions in the capital and credit markets, including as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, inflation, interest rate changes and the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, or investor acceptance of its business model. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms and conditions of such financing unattractive or unavailable to Chijet. If Chijet is unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to it, when it requires it, Chijet will have to significantly reduce its spending, delay or cancel its planned activities or substantially change its corporate structure, and it might not have sufficient resources to conduct or support its business as projected, which would have a material and adverse effect on its results of operations, prospects and financial condition.

Chijet’s financial results may vary significantly from period to period due to fluctuations in its operating costs, product demand and other factors.

Chijet expects its period-to-period financial results to vary based on its operating costs and product demand, which it anticipates will fluctuate as it continues to design, develop and manufacture new vehicles, increase production capacity and establish or expand design, research and development, production, sales and service facilities. Chijet’s revenues from period to period may fluctuate as it identifies and investigates areas of demand, adjusts volumes and adds new product derivatives based on market demand and margin opportunities, develops and introduces new vehicles or introduces existing vehicles to new markets for the first time. In addition, automotive manufacturers typically experience significant seasonality, with comparatively low sales in the first quarter and comparatively high sales in the fourth quarter. Chijet’s period-to-period results of operations may also fluctuate because of other factors including labor availability and costs for hourly and management personnel; profitability of its vehicles, especially in new markets; changes in interest rates; impairment of long-lived assets; macroeconomic conditions, both internationally and locally; negative publicity relating to its vehicles; changes in consumer preferences and competitive conditions; or investment in expansion into new markets. As a result of these factors, Chijet believes that period-to-period comparisons of its financial results, especially in the short term, may have limited utility as an indicator of future performance. Significant variation in Chijet’s quarterly performance could significantly and adversely affect the trading price of the Pubco securities.

Risks Related to Doing Business in China

The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (“HFCA Act”), together with recent joint statement by the SEC and PCAOB, Nasdaq rule changes, a determination by the PCAOB that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and in Hong Kong, all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. These developments add uncertainties to our ability to be listed on U.S. stock exchanges.

On April 21, 2020, SEC Chairman Jay Clayton and PCAOB Chairman William D. Duhnke III, along with other senior SEC staff, released a joint statement highlighting the disclosure, financial reporting and other risks associated with investing in companies based in or have substantial operations in emerging markets including China as well as the limited remedies available to investors who might take legal action against such companies. The joint statement emphasized the risks associated with lack of access for the PCAOB to inspect auditors and audit work papers in China and higher risks of fraud in emerging markets.

On May 18, 2020, Nasdaq filed three proposals with the SEC to (i) apply minimum offering size requirement for companies primarily operating in “Restrictive Market,” (ii) adopt a new requirement relating to the qualification of management or board of director for Restrictive Market companies, and (iii) apply additional and more stringent criteria to an applicant or listed company based on the qualifications of the company’s auditors. These proposals were approved by the SEC on October 4, 2021. These developments add uncertainties to our ability to be listed on U.S. stock exchanges, including the possibility that Nasdaq can stop trading in our securities if the PCAOB cannot inspect or fully investigate our auditor.

Furthermore, various equity-based research organizations have recently published reports on China-based companies after examining their corporate governance practices, related party transactions, sales practices and financial statements, and these reports have led to special investigations and listing suspensions on U.S. national exchanges. Any similar scrutiny on us, regardless of its lack of merit, could cause the market price of our shares to fall, divert management resources and energy, cause us to incur expenses in defending ourselves against rumors, and increase the premiums we pay for director and officer insurance.

On May 20, 2020 and December 2, 2020, the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives, respectively, passed S. 945, the HFCA Act, which was signed into law on December 18, 2020. The HFCA Act requires a foreign company to certify that it is not owned or manipulated by a foreign government if the PCAOB is unable to audit specified reports because the company uses a foreign auditor not subject to PCAOB inspection. If the PCAOB is unable to inspect the company’s auditors for three consecutive years, the issuer’s securities are prohibited from trading on a national exchange. On June 22, 2021, the United States Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, which has been introduced in the United States House of Representatives. This Act, if enacted, would decrease the number of non-inspection years from three years to two, thus reducing the time period before our ordinary shares may be prohibited from trading or delisted. On February 4, 2022, the United States House of Representatives passed a bill, which contained, among other things, an identical provision. If this provision is enacted into law, the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCA Act will be reduced from three years to two. Although we believe that the HFCA Act and the related regulations do not currently affect us, we cannot assure you that there will not be any further implementations and interpretations of the HFCA Act or the related regulations, which might pose regulatory risks to and impose restrictions on us because of our primary operations in China. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China.”

The lack of access to the PCAOB inspection in China prevents the PCAOB from fully evaluating audits and quality control procedures of the auditors based in China. As a result, the investors may be deprived of the benefits of such PCAOB inspections. The inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections of auditors in China makes it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of these accounting firms’ audit procedures or quality control procedures as compared to auditors outside of China that are subject to the PCAOB inspections, which could cause existing and potential investors in our stock to lose confidence in our audit procedures and reported financial information and the quality of our financial statements.

On December 2, 2021, the SEC issued final rules under the HFCA Act, which became effective on January 10, 2022, amending the disclosure requirements in annual reports. These amendments apply to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in that jurisdiction. The amendments require the submission of documentation to the Commission establishing that such a registrant is not owned or controlled by a governmental entity in that foreign jurisdiction and also require disclosure in a foreign issuer’s annual report regarding the audit arrangements of, and governmental influence on, such registrants. The Commission is to identify a reporting company that has retained a registered public accounting firm to issue an audit report where that registered public accounting firm has a branch or office that:

●	Is located in a foreign jurisdiction; and

●	The PCAOB has determined that it is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in the foreign jurisdiction.

116

Once identified, Section 104(i)(2)(B) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires these issuers, which the SEC refers to as “Commission-Identified Issuers,” to submit in connection with their annual report documentation to the Commission establishing that they are not owned or controlled by a governmental entity in that foreign jurisdiction and to name any director who is affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party or whether the company’s articles include any charter of the Chinese Communist Party.

On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and in Hong Kong, because of positions taken by PRC authorities in those jurisdictions, and the PCAOB included in the report of its determination a list of the accounting firms that are headquartered in the PRC or Hong Kong. Our auditor, UHY LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm headquartered in the United States, was not included in the determinations made by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021. Our auditor is currently subject to PCAOB inspections and has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis, with the last inspection in June 2019.

In the event the PCAOB expands the category of firms which it cannot inspect in future and include our auditor UHY LLP in the list, we must change our independent auditor in sufficient time so as to meet the requirements of SEC and Nasdaq. If we fail to change auditors to meet the SEC and Nasdaq requirements, we will be delisted from the Nasdaq, and our ordinary shares are unable to be listed on another securities exchange or traded on an over-the-counter market in the United States, your ability to sell or purchase our ordinary shares when you wish to do so will be impaired, and the risk and uncertainty associated with a potential delisting would have a negative impact on the market for and the price of our ordinary shares. We cannot assure you that, because our books and records are located in China, we will in the future be able to become an issuer that is not a Commission-Identified Issuer, in which event our ordinary shares may not be tradable in any United States stock exchange or market and it may be necessary for us to list on a foreign exchange in order that our ordinary shares can be traded. It is possible that, in the event trading in our stock in the United States is no longer possible, you may lose the entire value of your ordinary shares.

On August 26, 2022, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”), the Ministry of Finance (the “MOF”), and the PCAOB signed the Protocol, governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in China and Hong Kong. The Protocol remains unpublished and is subject to further explanation and implementation. Pursuant to the fact sheet with respect to the Protocol disclosed by the SEC, the PCAOB shall have independent discretion to select any issuer audits for inspection or investigation and has the unfettered ability to transfer information to the SEC. However, uncertainties still exist whether the framework will be fully complied. It remains unclear what the SEC’s implementation process related to the above rules will entail or what further actions the CSRC, the SEC, the PCAOB or Nasdaq will take to address these issues and what impact those actions will have on companies that have significant operations in the PRC and have securities listed on a U.S. stock exchange (including a national securities exchange or over-the-counter stock market).

Further, new laws and regulations or changes in laws and regulations in both the United States and China could affect Pubco’s ability to list Pubco’s ordinary shares on Nasdaq, which could materially impair the market for and market price of Pubco’s shares.

Changes in the political and economic policies of the PRC government or in relations between China and the United States may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and may result in our inability to sustain our growth and expansion strategies.

Substantially all of our operations are conducted in the PRC and substantially all of our revenues are sourced from the PRC. Accordingly, our financial condition and results of operations are affected to a significant extent by economic, political and legal developments in the PRC or changes in government relations between China and the United States or other governments. There is significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and China with respect to trade policies, treaties, government regulations and tariffs.

117

The PRC economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including the extent of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. Although the PRC government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets, and the establishment of improved corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of productive assets in China is still owned by the government. In addition, the PRC government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies. The PRC government also exercises significant control over China’s economic growth by allocating resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy, regulating financial services and institutions and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.

While the PRC economy has experienced significant growth in the past four decades, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures may benefit the overall PRC economy, but may also have a negative effect on us. Our financial condition and results of operation could be materially and adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations that are applicable to us. In addition, the PRC government has implemented in the past certain measures, including interest rate increases, to control the pace of economic growth. These measures may cause decreased economic activity.

Since July 2021, the PRC government have provided various new guidance on China-based companies raising capital outside of China, including the Opinions on Lawfully and Strictly Cracking Down Illegal Securities Activities, or the Opinions, which strengthens the supervision on overseas listings by China-based companies, and the Measures of Cybersecurity Review which requires government-led cybersecurity reviews of certain companies raising capital through offshore entities. In light of such developments, the SEC has imposed enhanced disclosure requirements on China-based companies seeking to register securities with the SEC. As substantially all of our operations are based in China, any future Chinese, U.S. or other rules and regulations that place restrictions on capital raising or other activities by China based companies could adversely affect our business and results of operations. If the business environment in China deteriorates from the perspective of domestic or international investment, or if relations between China and the United States or other governments deteriorate, the PRC government may intervene with our operations and our business in China and United States, as well as the market price of our ordinary shares, may also be adversely affected.

Uncertainties in the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws and regulations could limit the legal protections available to you and us.

Our PRC subsidiaries are subject to various PRC laws, rules and regulations generally applicable to companies in China. The PRC legal system is based on written statutes. Unlike common law systems, it is a system in which legal cases have limited value as precedents. In the late 1970s, the PRC government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and regulations governing economic matters in general. The overall effect of legislation over the past four decades has significantly increased the protections afforded to various forms of foreign or private-sector investment in China.

As relevant laws and regulations are relatively new and the PRC legal system continues to rapidly evolve with little advance notice, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform and enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involve uncertainties.

From time to time, we may have to resort to administrative and court proceedings to enforce our legal rights. However, since PRC administrative and court authorities have significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory and contractual terms, it may be more difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative and court proceedings and the level of legal protection we enjoy than in more developed legal systems. Furthermore, the PRC legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules (some of which are not published in a timely manner or at all) that may have retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of these policies and rules until sometime after the violation. Such uncertainties, including uncertainty over the scope and effect of our contractual, property (including intellectual property) and procedural rights, and any failure to respond to changes in the regulatory environment in China could materially and adversely affect our business, impede our ability to continue our operations and reduce the value of your investment in Chijet.

118

Recently, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued the Opinions, which was made available to the public on July 6, 2021. The Opinions emphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities, and the need to strengthen the supervision over overseas listings by Chinese companies. Effective measures, such as promoting the construction of relevant regulatory systems will be taken to deal with the risks and incidents of China-concept overseas listed companies, and cybersecurity and data privacy protection requirements and similar matters. On July 10, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China, or the CAC, issued a revised draft of the Measures for Cybersecurity Review for public comments, which required that, among others, in addition to “operator of critical information infrastructure” (“CIIOs”), any “data processor” controlling personal information of no less than one million users which seeks to list in a foreign stock exchange should also be subject to cybersecurity review, and further elaborated the factors to be considered when assessing the national security risks of the relevant activities. On November 14, 2021, the CAC released the Network Internet Data Protection Draft Regulations (draft for comments), which reiterates that data processors refer to individuals or organizations that autonomously determine the purpose and the manner of processing data. If a data processor that processes personal data of more than one million users intends to list overseas, it shall apply for a cybersecurity review. In addition, data processors that process important data or are listed overseas shall carry out an annual data security assessment on their own or by engaging a data security services institution, and the data security assessment report for the prior year should be submitted to the local cyberspace affairs administration department before January 31 of each year. On December 28, 2021, the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021 version) was promulgated and became effective on February 15, 2022, which iterates among others, in addition to “operator of critical information infrastructure” (“CIIOs”), any “online platform operators” controlling personal information of more than one million users which seeks to list in a foreign stock exchange should also be subject to cybersecurity review. We believe, based upon the opinion of our PRC counsel, that we are not subject to the cybersecurity review, since (i) as companies that engaged in the research and development, production and sales of vehicles, including EVs, we and our subsidiaries are unlikely to be classified as CIIOs under the PRC Cybersecurity Law and the Security Protection Measures on Critical Information Infrastructure promulgated by the State Council on July 30, 2021; and (ii) we and our subsidiaries possess personal information of less than one million users. We cannot assure you, however, that regulators in China will not take a contrary view or will not subsequently require us to undergo the cybersecurity review and subject us to penalties for non-compliance. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we believe we are in compliance with the regulations or policies that have been issued by the CAC to date in general, with the other subsidiaries in China are not subject to the regulations or policies that have been issued by the CAC. There remains uncertainty, however, as to how the regulations or policies issued by the CAC will be interpreted or implemented and whether the CAC may adopt new laws, regulations, rules, or detailed implementation and interpretation. If any such new laws, regulations, rules, or implementation and interpretation come into effect, we will take all reasonable measures and actions to comply and to minimize the adverse effect of such laws on us.

Furthermore, the PRC government authorities may strengthen oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers like us. Such actions taken by the PRC government authorities may intervene or influence our operations at any time, which are beyond our control. Therefore, any such action may adversely affect our operations and significantly limit or hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to you and reduce the value of such securities.

There are risks arising from the legal systems in China, including the risks and uncertainties regarding the interpretation, application and enforcement of current and future PRC laws and regulations. The rules and regulations in China can change quickly with little advance notice and uncertainties in the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws, rules and regulations could limit the legal protections available to you and us. The PRC government may intervene or influence our operations at any time, or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, which could result in a material change in our operations, financial performance and/or the value of the ordinary shares we are registering for sale, or impair our ability to raise money.

The PRC government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we conduct our business activities. The PRC government may also intervene or influence our operations and this Business Combination at any time, which could result in a material change in our operations and our ordinary shares could decline in value or become worthless.

We are currently not required to obtain approval from Chinese authorities to list on U.S. exchanges, however, if any of our PRC subsidiaries were required to obtain approval in the future and were denied permission from Chinese authorities to list on U.S. exchanges, we will not be able to continue listing on any U.S. exchange, continue to offer securities to investors, or materially affect the interest of the investors and cause significantly depreciation of our price of ordinary shares.

The PRC government has exercised and continues to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership. Our ability to operate in China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, environmental regulations, land use rights, property and other matters. The central or local governments of these jurisdictions may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance with such regulations or interpretations. Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to support recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof, and could require us to divest ourselves of any interest we then hold in our operations in China.

For example, the Chinese cybersecurity regulator announced on July 2, 2021, that it had begun an investigation of Didi Global Inc. (NYSE: DIDI) and two days later ordered that the company’s app be removed from smartphone app stores. Similarly, our business segments may be subject to various government and regulatory interference in the regions in which we operate. We could be subject to regulation by various political and regulatory entities, including various local and municipal agencies and government sub-divisions. We may incur increased costs necessary to comply with existing and newly adopted laws and regulations or penalties for any failure to comply.

Furthermore, it is uncertain when and whether we will be required to obtain permission from the PRC government to list on U.S. exchanges in the future, and even when such permission is obtained, whether it will be denied or rescinded. Although we are currently not required to obtain permission from any of the PRC central or local government and has not received any denial to list on the U.S. exchanges, our operations could be adversely affected, directly or indirectly, by existing or future laws and regulations relating to our business or industry. Recent statements by the PRC government indicating an intent, and the PRC government may take actions to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless.

Our vehicles are subject to various motor vehicle standards which are continually evolving, and the failure to satisfy such mandated safety standards would have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

In China, vehicles must meet or exceed all mandated safety standards. Rigorous testing and the use of approved materials and equipment are among the requirements for achieving such standards. Vehicles must pass various tests and undergo a certification process and be affixed with the China Compulsory Certification, or CCC, before receiving delivery from the factory, being sold, or being used in any commercial activity, and such certification is also subject to periodic renewal. In addition, on August 12, 2021, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, or MIIT, issued the Opinion on Strengthening the Access Administration of Intelligent Connected Vehicles Manufacturing Enterprises and Their Products, or the Access Administration Opinion, which provided responsibilities of intelligent connected vehicles manufacturing enterprises, and required such enterprises to strengthen the management of vehicle data security, cyber security, software updates, function safety and intended function safety. The Access Administration Opinion requires vehicles manufacturing enterprises to ensure the compliance of vehicle products with relevant laws, regulations, technical standards and technical specification and file for record with the MIIT prior to over-the-air updates, and shall file with the MIIT in the event of any change to the safety, energy saving, environment protection, anti-theft and other technical parameters and shall ensure conformance by vehicle products and production. Without the approval, no over-the-air update shall be conducted to add or update the autonomous driving function. Failure by us to have any of our vehicle models satisfy motor vehicle standards or any new laws and regulations in China or other markets where our vehicles are to be sold would have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

We may be liable for improper use or appropriation of personal information provided by our customers.

Our business involves collecting and retaining certain internal and customer data. We also maintain information about various aspects of our operations as well as regarding our employees. The integrity and protection of our customers, employees and company data is critical to our business. Our customers and employees expect that we will adequately protect their personal information. We are required by applicable laws to keep strictly confidential the personal information that we collect, and to take adequate security measures to safeguard such information.

The PRC Criminal Law, as amended by its Amendment 7 (effective on February 28, 2009) and Amendment 9 (effective on November 1, 2015), prohibits institutions, companies and their employees from selling or otherwise illegally disclosing a citizen’s personal information obtained in performing duties or providing services or obtaining such information through theft or other illegal ways. On November 7, 2016, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, or the SCNPC, issued the Cyber Security Law of the PRC, which became effective on June 1, 2017. Pursuant to the Cyber Security Law of the PRC, network operators must not, without users’ consent, collect their personal information, and may only collect users’ personal information necessary to provide their services. Providers are also obliged to provide security maintenance for their products and services and shall comply with provisions regarding the protection of personal information as stipulated under the relevant laws and regulations.

The Civil Code of the PRC (issued by the PRC National People’s Congress on May 28, 2020 and effective from January 1, 2021) provides legal basis for privacy and personal information infringement claims under the Chinese civil laws. PRC regulators, including the CAC, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (the “MIIT”), and the Ministry of Public Security, have been increasingly focused on regulation in data security and data protection.

The PRC regulatory requirements regarding cybersecurity are evolving. For instance, various regulatory bodies in China, including the CAC, the Ministry of Public Security and the State Administration for Market Regulation (the “SAMR”), have enforced data privacy and protection laws and regulations with varying and evolving standards and interpretations. The Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021 version) issued by the CAC on November 16, 2021, which became effective on February 15, 2022, includes the following key changes:

●	companies who are engaged in data processing are also subject to the regulatory scope;

●	the CSRC is included as one of the regulatory authorities for purposes of jointly establishing the state cybersecurity review working mechanism;

●	the operators of critical information infrastructure and online platform operators holding more than one million users/users’ (which is to be further specified) individual information and seeking a listing outside China shall file for cybersecurity review with the Cybersecurity Review Office; and

●	the risks of core data, material data or large amounts of personal information being stolen, leaked, destroyed, damaged, illegally used or transmitted to overseas parties and the risks of critical information infrastructure, core data, material data or large amounts of personal information being influenced, controlled or used maliciously shall be collectively taken into consideration during the cybersecurity review process.

On July 7, 2022, the CAC published the Outbound Data Transfer Security Assessment Measures, which became effective on September 1, 2022 and specifies the circumstances in which data processors providing data outbound shall apply for outbound data transfer security assessment with the Cyberspace Administration, including, among others, the data processor provide important information outbound. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we had disclosed certain information of our shareholders, directors, managerial officers, customers and employees to the counsel and Underwriters for the purpose of due diligence, while the counsel and Underwriters are professional parties which have entered into legally binding non-disclosure agreements with us, we believe we are not subject to the outbound data transfer security assessment. However, there remain uncertainties as to the interpretation and application of the Outbound Data Transfer Security Assessment Measures, if we are deemed to be a data processor providing important data outbound, we could be subject to the outbound data security assessment with national Cyberspace Administration as mentioned above.

On November 14, 2021, the CAC published the Regulations for the Administration of Network Data Security (Draft for Comments), which reiterates that data processors that process the personal information of more than one million users listing in a foreign country should apply for a cybersecurity review. Currently, the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021 version) were recently adopted and the Network Internet Data Protection Draft Regulations (draft for comments) has been released for public comment, and their implementation provisions and anticipated adoption or effective date remains substantially uncertain and may be subject to change.

As there remains significant uncertainty in the interpretation and enforcement of relevant PRC cybersecurity laws and regulations, we could be subject to cybersecurity review, and if so, we may not be able to pass such review in relation to this Business Combination. Any failure or delay in the completion of the cybersecurity review procedures or any other non-compliance with the related laws and regulations may result in fines or other penalties, including suspension of business, website closure, and revocation of prerequisite licenses, as well as reputational damage or legal proceedings or actions against us, which may have material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we have not been involved in any investigations on cybersecurity review initiated by the CAC or related governmental regulatory authorities, and we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, or sanction in such respect. We believe that we are in compliance with the aforementioned regulations and policies that have been issued by the CAC in general.

121

On June 10, 2021, the SCNPC promulgated the PRC Data Security Law, which took effect in September 2021. The PRC Data Security Law imposes data security and privacy obligations on entities and individuals carrying out data activities, and introduces a data classification and hierarchical protection system based on the importance of data in economic and social development, and the degree of harm it will cause to national security, public interests, or legitimate rights and interests of individuals or organizations when such data is tampered with, destroyed, leaked, illegally acquired or used. The PRC Data Security Law also provides for a national security review procedure for data activities that may affect national security and imposes export restrictions on certain data an information.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we have not been involved in any investigations on cybersecurity or data security initiated by related governmental regulatory authorities, and we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, or sanction in such respect. However, as uncertainties remain regarding the interpretation and implementation of these laws and regulations, we cannot assure you that we will comply with such regulations in all respects and we may be ordered to rectify or terminate any actions that are deemed illegal by regulatory authorities. We may also become subject to fines and/or other sanctions which may have material adverse effect on our business, operations and financial condition.

The enforcement of the PRC Labor Contract Law and other labor-related regulations in the PRC may increase our labor costs, impose limitations on our labor practices and adversely affect our business and our results of operations.

The PRC Labor Law and the Labor Contract Law of the People’s Republic of China (the “Labor Contract Law”) require that employers must execute written employment contracts with full-time employees. All employers must compensate their employees with wages equal to at least the local minimum wage standards. Violations of the PRC Labor Law and the Labor Contract Law may result in the imposition of fines, compensations and other administrative sanctions, and serious violations may constitute criminal offenses.

The Labor Contract Law became effective and was implemented on January 1, 2008, which was amended on December 28, 2012. It has reinforced the protection of employees who, under the PRC Labor Contract Law, have the right, among others, to enter into written labor contracts, to enter into labor contracts with no fixed terms under certain circumstances, to receive overtime wages and to terminate or alter terms in labor contracts.

In addition, the Labor Contract Law introduces specific provisions related to fixed-term employment contracts, part-time employment, probation, consultation with labor unions and employee assemblies, employment without a written contract, dismissal of employees, severance, and collective bargaining, which together represent enhanced enforcement of labor laws and regulations. For example, according to the PRC Labor Contract Law, an employer is obliged to sign an unfixed-term labor contract with any employee who has worked for the employer for 10 consecutive years. Further, if an employee requests or agrees to renew a fixed-term labor contract that has already been entered into twice consecutively, the resulting contract must have an unfixed term, with certain exceptions. The employer must pay economic compensation to an employee where a labor contract is terminated or expires in accordance with the PRC Labor Contract Law, except for certain situations which are specifically regulated. In addition, the government has issued various labor-related regulations to further protect the rights of employees. According to such laws and regulations, employees are entitled to annual leave ranging from five to 15 days and are able to be compensated for any untaken annual leave days in the amount of three times their daily salary, subject to certain exceptions. In the event that we decide to change our employment or labor practices, the Labor Contract Law and other labor-related regulation may also limit our ability to effect those changes in a manner that we believe to be cost-effective. In addition, due to the uncertainties as to the interpretation and implementation of these laws and regulations, our employment practices may not be at all times deemed in compliance with the laws and regulations. If we are subject to severe penalties or incur significant liabilities in connection with labor disputes or investigations, our business and financial conditions may be adversely affected.

PRC regulations relating to foreign exchange registration of overseas investment by PRC residents may subject our PRC resident beneficial owners of our PRC subsidiary to liability or penalties, limit our ability to inject capital into the subsidiary, limit PRC subsidiary’s ability to increase its registered capital or distribute profits to us, or may otherwise adversely affect us.

On July 4, 2014, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of the People’s Republic of China, or SAFE, promulgated the Circular on Relevant Issues Relating to Domestic Resident’s Investment and Financing and Roundtrip Investment through Special Purpose Vehicles, or SAFE Circular 37, which replaced the former Notice on Relevant Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Administration for PRC Residents to Engage in Financing and Inbound Investment via Overseas Special Purpose Vehicles (generally known as SAFE Circular 75) promulgated by SAFE on October 21, 2005. On February 13, 2015, SAFE further promulgated the Circular on Further Simplifying and Improving the Administration of the Foreign Exchange Concerning Direct Investment (“SAFE Circular 13”), which took effect on June 1, 2015. This SAFE Circular 13 has amended SAFE Circular 37 by requiring PRC residents or entities to register with qualified banks rather than SAFE or its local branch in connection with their direct establishment or indirect control of an offshore entity established for the purpose of overseas investment or financing with such PRC residents’ legally owned assets or equity interests in domestic enterprises or offshore assets or interests. Qualified local banks will directly examine and accept foreign exchange registration for overseas direct investment, including the initial foreign exchange registration and amendment registration, under Circular 37 from June 1, 2015.

122

These circulars further require amendment to the registration in the event of any significant changes with respect to the special purpose vehicle, such as an increase or decrease of capital contributed by PRC residents, share transfer or exchange, merger, division or other material events. In the event that a PRC resident holding interests in a special purpose vehicle fails to complete the required SAFE registration, the PRC subsidiary of that special purpose vehicle may be prohibited from making profit distributions to the offshore parent and from carrying out subsequent cross-border foreign exchange activities, and the special purpose vehicle may be restricted in its ability to contribute additional capital into its PRC subsidiary. Furthermore, it is unclear how this regulation, and any future regulation concerning offshore or cross-border transactions, will be interpreted, amended and implemented by the relevant PRC government authorities, and we cannot predict how these regulations will affect our business operations or future strategy. Failure to comply with the various SAFE registration requirements described above could result in liability under PRC law for evasion of foreign exchange controls. This may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

According to SAFE Circular 37 and SAFE Circular 13, our shareholders or beneficial owners who are PRC residents are subject to Circular 37 or other foreign exchange administrative regulations in respect of their investment in our company. To the best of our knowledge, substantially all of our PRC resident shareholders who directly or indirectly hold shares in our Cayman Islands holding company and who are known to us have completed the application for foreign exchange registrations for their foreign investment in our company in accordance with SAFE Circular 37 and SAFE Circular 13. We have taken steps to notify significant beneficial owners of ordinary shares whom we know are PRC residents of their filing obligations. However, we may not at all times be fully aware or informed of the identities of all our shareholders or beneficial owners that are required to make such registrations, and we may not always be able to compel them to comply with all relevant foreign exchange regulations. As a result, we cannot assure you that all of our shareholders or beneficial owners who are PRC residents will at all times comply with, or in the future make or obtain any applicable registrations or approvals required by all relevant foreign exchange regulations. The failure or inability of such individuals to comply with the registration procedures set forth in these regulations may subject us to fines or legal sanctions, restrictions on our cross-border investment activities or our PRC subsidiary’s ability to distribute dividends to, or obtain foreign-exchange-dominated loans from, our company, or prevent us from making distributions or paying dividends. As a result, our business operations and our ability to make distributions to you could be materially and adversely affected.

Furthermore, as these foreign exchange regulations are still relatively new and their interpretation and implementation have been constantly evolving, it is unclear how these regulations, and any future regulation concerning offshore or cross-border transactions, will be interpreted, amended and implemented by the relevant government authorities. We cannot predict how these regulations will affect our business operations or future strategy. In addition, if we decide to acquire a PRC domestic company, we cannot assure you that we or the owners of such company, as the case may be, will be able to obtain the necessary approvals or complete the necessary filings and registrations required by the foreign exchange regulations. This may restrict our ability to implement our acquisition strategy and could adversely affect our business and prospects.

PRC regulation on loans to, and direct investment in, our PRC subsidiary by offshore holding companies and governmental control in currency conversion may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of the Business Combination to make loans to or make additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiary, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.

Chijet is an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability structured as a holding company conducting its operations in China through its PRC subsidiary. As permitted under PRC laws and regulations, in utilizing the proceeds of the Business Combination, we may make loans to our PRC subsidiary subject to the approval from governmental authorities and limitation of amount, or we may make additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiary. Furthermore, loans by us to our PRC subsidiary to finance its activities cannot exceed the statutory limits and are subject to the requirement of making necessary filings in the Foreign Investment Comprehensive Management Information System and registration with other governmental authorities in China.

123

The SAFE promulgated the Notice of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Reforming the Administration of Foreign Exchange Settlement of Capital of Foreign-invested Enterprises (“SAFE Circular 19”), effective on June 1, 2015, in replacement of the Circular on the Relevant Operating Issues Concerning the Improvement of the Administration of the Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreign-Invested Enterprises, the Notice from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Relevant Issues Concerning Strengthening the Administration of Foreign Exchange Businesses, and the Circular on Further Clarification and Regulation of the Issues Concerning the Administration of Certain Capital Account Foreign Exchange Businesses. According to SAFE Circular 19, the flow and use of the RMB capital converted from foreign currency-denominated registered capital of a foreign-invested company is regulated such that RMB capital may not be used for the issuance of RMB entrusted loans, the repayment of inter-enterprise loans or the repayment of bank loans that have been transferred to a third party. Although SAFE Circular 19 allows RMB capital converted from foreign currency-denominated registered capital of a foreign-invested enterprise to be used for equity investments within the PRC, it also reiterates the principle that RMB converted from the foreign currency-denominated capital of a foreign-invested company may not be directly or indirectly used for purposes beyond its business scope. Thus, it is unclear whether the SAFE will permit such capital to be used for equity investments in the PRC in actual practice. The SAFE promulgated the Notice of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Reforming and Standardizing the Foreign Exchange Settlement Management Policy of Capital Account (“SAFE Circular 16”), effective on June 9, 2016, which reiterates some of the rules set forth in SAFE Circular 19, but changes the prohibition against using RMB capital converted from foreign currency-denominated registered capital of a foreign-invested company to issue RMB entrusted loans to a prohibition against using such capital to grant loans to non-associated enterprises. Violations of SAFE Circular 19 and SAFE Circular 16 could result in administrative penalties. SAFE Circular 19 and SAFE Circular 16 may significantly limit our ability to transfer any foreign currency we hold, including the net proceeds from the Business Combination, to our PRC subsidiary, which may adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business in the PRC.

In light of the various requirements imposed by PRC regulations on loans to, and direct investment in, the PRC subsidiary by offshore holding companies, and the fact that the PRC government may at its discretion restrict access to foreign currencies for current account transactions in the future, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete the necessary government registrations or obtain the necessary government approvals on a timely basis, if at all, with respect to future loans by us to our PRC subsidiary or with respect to future capital contributions by us to our PRC subsidiary. If we fail to complete such registrations or obtain such approvals, our ability to use the proceeds from the Business Combination and to capitalize or otherwise fund our PRC operations may be negatively affected, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.

Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, we may be classified as a PRC “resident enterprise” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes. Such classification would likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC enterprise shareholders and has a material adverse effect on our results of operations and the value of your investment.

Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law (“EIT Law”), that became effective in January 2008 and was amended in February 2017 and December 2018, as well as its implementing rules, an enterprise established outside the PRC with “de facto management bodies” within the PRC is considered a “resident enterprise” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes and is generally subject to a uniform 25% enterprise income tax rate on its worldwide income. Under the implementation rules to the EIT Law, a “de facto management body” is defined as a body that has material and overall management and control over the manufacturing and business operations, personnel and human resources, finances and properties of an enterprise. In addition, a circular, known as SAT Circular 82, issued in April 2009 by the State Administration of Taxation (the “SAT”), specifies that certain offshore incorporated enterprises controlled by PRC enterprises or PRC enterprise groups will be classified as PRC resident enterprises if the following are located or resident in the PRC: senior management personnel and departments that are responsible for daily production, operation and management; financial and personnel decision making bodies; key properties, accounting books, company seal, and minutes of board meetings and shareholders’ meetings; and half or more of the senior management or directors having voting rights. Further to SAT Circular 82, the SAT issued a bulletin, known as SAT Bulletin 45, which took effect in September 2011, to provide more guidance on the implementation of SAT Circular 82 and clarify the reporting and filing obligations of such “Chinese-controlled offshore incorporated resident enterprises.” SAT Bulletin 45 provides procedures and administrative details for the determination of resident status and administration on post-determination matters. Although both SAT Circular 82 and SAT Bulletin 45 only apply to offshore enterprises controlled by PRC enterprises or PRC enterprise groups, not those controlled by PRC individuals or foreign individuals, the determining criteria set forth in SAT Circular 82 and SAT Bulletin 45 may reflect the SAT’s general position on how the “de facto management body” test should be applied in determining the tax resident status of offshore enterprises, regardless of whether they are controlled by PRC enterprises, PRC enterprise groups or by PRC or foreign individuals.

We do not believe that we, as an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability meet all of the conditions above thus we do not believe that we are a PRC resident enterprise, though all members of our management team as well as the management team of our offshore holding company are located in China. However, if the PRC tax authorities determine that we are a PRC resident enterprise for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, a number of unfavorable PRC tax consequences could follow. First, we will be subject to the uniform 25% enterprise income tax on our world-wide income, which could materially reduce our net income. In addition, we will also be subject to PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. However, the tax resident status of an enterprise is subject to determination by the PRC tax authorities and uncertainties remain with respect to the interpretation of the term “de facto management body.”

124

Finally, since there remain uncertainties regarding the interpretation and implementation of the EIT Law and its implementation rules, it is uncertain whether, if we are regarded as a PRC resident enterprise, any dividends payable by us to our investors and gains on the sale of our shares would become subject to PRC withholding tax, at a rate of 10% in the case of non-PRC enterprises (subject to the provisions of any applicable tax treaty). It is unclear whether non-PRC enterprise shareholders of our company would be able to claim the benefits of any tax treaties between their country of tax residence and the PRC in the event that we are treated as a PRC resident enterprise. Any such tax may reduce the returns on your investment in the ordinary shares.

There are significant uncertainties under the EIT Law relating to the withholding tax liabilities of our PRC subsidiary, and dividends payable by our PRC subsidiary to our offshore subsidiaries may not qualify for certain treaty benefits.

Under the EIT Law and its implementation rules, we, as a non-resident enterprise, that is, an enterprise lawfully incorporated pursuant to the laws of a foreign country (region) that has an office or premises established in China with no actual management functions performed in China, or an enterprise that has income derived from or accruing in China although it does not have an office or premises in China, will be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10%. Pursuant to a special arrangement between Hong Kong and China, such rate may be reduced to 5% if a Hong Kong resident enterprise owns more than 25% of the equity interest in the PRC company. WFOE is 100% owned by Baoyaev Group Limited. Accordingly, Baoyaev Group Limited may qualify for a 5% tax rate in respect of distributions from WFOE when it becomes operational and is not obligated to pay more than 50% of the income in twelve months to residents in third country or region. Under the Notice of the State Administration of Taxation on Issues regarding the Administration of the Dividend Provision in Tax Treaties promulgated on February 20, 2009, the taxpayer needs to satisfy certain conditions to utilize the benefits under a tax treaty. These conditions include: (1) the taxpayer must be the beneficial owner of the relevant dividends, and (2) the corporate shareholder to receive dividends from the PRC subsidiary must have continuously met the direct ownership thresholds during the 12 consecutive months preceding the receipt of the dividends. Further, under Announcement of the State Administration of Taxation on Issues Relating to “Beneficial Owner” in Tax Treaties, which took effect on April 1, 2018, a “Beneficial Owner” shall mean a person who has ownership and control over the income and the rights and property from which the income is derived. To determine the “beneficial owner” status of a resident of the treaty counterparty who needs to take advantage of the tax treaty benefits, a comprehensive analysis shall be carried out, taking into account actual conditions of the specific case.

Entitlement to a lower tax rate on dividends according to tax treaties or arrangements between the PRC central government and governments of other countries or regions is subject to Announcement of State Taxation Administration on Promulgation of the Administrative Measures on Non-resident Taxpayers Enjoying Treaty Benefits (“Circular 35”). Circular 35 provides that non-resident enterprises are not required to obtain pre-approval from the relevant tax authority in order to enjoy the reduced withholding tax. Instead, non-resident enterprises and their withholding agents may, by self-assessment and on confirmation that the prescribed criteria to enjoy the tax treaty benefits are met, directly apply the reduced withholding tax rate, and file necessary forms and supporting documents when performing tax filings, which will be subject to post-tax filing examinations by the relevant tax authorities. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will be entitled to any preferential withholding tax rate under tax treaties for dividends received from WFOE.

Enhanced scrutiny over acquisition transactions by the PRC tax authorities may have a negative impact on potential acquisitions we may pursue in the future.

Pursuant to the Notice on Strengthening Administration of Enterprise Income Tax for Share Transfers by Non-PRC Resident Enterprises (“SAT Circular 698”) issued by the SAT on December 10, 2009, where a foreign investor transfers the equity interests of a resident enterprise indirectly via disposition of the equity interests of an overseas holding company, or an “indirect transfer,” and such overseas holding company is located in a tax jurisdiction that (i) has an effective tax rate less than 12.5% or (ii) does not tax foreign income of its residents, the foreign investor shall report the indirect transfer to the competent tax authority. The PRC tax authority will examine the true nature of the indirect transfer, and if the tax authority considers that the foreign investor has adopted an “abusive arrangement” in order to avoid PRC tax, it may disregard the existence of the overseas holding company and re-characterize the indirect transfer.

125

On February 3, 2015, the SAT issued the Announcement of the State Administration of Taxation on Several Issues Concerning the Enterprise Income Tax on Indirect Property Transfer by Non-Resident Enterprises (“SAT Bulletin 7”), to supersede existing provisions in relation to the “indirect transfer” as set forth in SAT Circular 698, while the other provisions of SAT Circular 698 remain in force. Pursuant to SAT Bulletin 7, where a non-resident enterprise indirectly transfers properties such as equity in PRC resident enterprises without any justifiable business purposes and aiming to avoid the payment of enterprise income tax, such indirect transfer must be reclassified as a direct transfer of equity in PRC resident enterprises. To assess whether an indirect transfer of PRC taxable properties has reasonable commercial purposes, all arrangements related to the indirect transfer must be considered comprehensively and factors set forth in SAT Bulletin 7 must be comprehensively analyzed in light of the actual circumstances. SAT Bulletin 7 also provides that, where a non-PRC resident enterprise transfers its equity interests in a resident enterprise to its related parties at a price lower than the fair market value, the competent tax authority has the power to make a reasonable adjustment to the taxable income of the transaction.

On October 17, 2017, the SAT issued the Announcement of the State Administration of Taxation on Matters Concerning Withholding of Income Tax of Non-resident Enterprises as Source (“SAT Bulletin 37”), which repealed the entire SAT Circular 698 and the provision in relation to the time limit for the withholding agent to declare to the competent tax authority for payment of such tax of SAT Bulletin 7. Pursuant to SAT Bulletin 37, the income from a property transfer, as stipulated in the second item under Article 19 of the EIT Law, shall include the income derived from transferring such equity investment assets as stock equity. The balance of deducting the equity’s net value from the total income from equity transfer shall be taxable income from equity transfer. Where a withholding agent enters into a business contract, involving the income specified in the third paragraph of Article 3 in the EIT Law, with a non-resident enterprise, the tax-excluding income of the non-resident enterprise will be treated as the tax-including income, based on which the tax payment will be calculated and remitted, if it is agreed in the contract that the withholding agent shall assume the tax payable.

It is possible that we or our non-PRC resident investors may become at risk of being taxed under SAT Bulletin 7 and SAT Bulletin 37 and may be required to expend valuable resources to comply with SAT Bulletin 7 and SAT Bulletin 37 or to establish that we or our non-PRC resident investors should not be taxed under SAT Bulletin 7 and SAT Bulletin 37, which may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations or such non-PRC resident investors’ investment in us.

Dividends payable to our foreign investors and gains on the sale of our ordinary shares by our foreign investors may be subject to PRC tax.

Under the EIT Law and its implementation regulations issued by the State Council, a 10% PRC withholding tax is applicable to dividends payable to investors that are non-resident enterprises, which do not have an establishment or place of business in the PRC or which have such establishment or place of business but the dividends are not effectively connected with such establishment or place of business, to the extent such dividends are derived from sources within the PRC. Any gain realized on the transfer of ordinary shares by such investors is also subject to PRC tax at a current rate of 10% which in the case of dividends will be withheld at source if such gain is regarded as income derived from sources within the PRC. If we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise, dividends paid on our ordinary shares, and any gain realized from the transfer of our ordinary shares, may be treated as income derived from sources within the PRC and may as a result be subject to PRC taxation. See “Regulation — Regulations Relating to Taxation.” Furthermore, if we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise, dividends payable to individual investors who are non-PRC residents and any gain realized on the transfer of ordinary shares by such investors may be subject to PRC tax at a current rate of 20%. Any PRC tax liability may be reduced under applicable tax treaties. However, it is unclear whether holders of our ordinary shares would be able to claim the benefit of income tax treaties or agreements entered into between China and other countries or areas if we are considered a PRC resident enterprise. If dividends payable to our non-PRC investors, or gains from the transfer of our ordinary shares by such investors are subject to PRC tax, the value of your investment in our ordinary shares may decline significantly.

126

We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC subsidiary to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and the PRC subsidiary’s restrictions on paying dividends or making other payments to us could restrict our ability to satisfy our liquidity requirements and have a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business.

Chijet is an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability structured as a holding company. We may need dividends and other distributions on equity from our PRC subsidiary to satisfy our liquidity requirements, including the funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions to shareholders and service, any debt Chijet may incur. Our PRC subsidiary in the PRC generate and retain cash generated from operating activities and re-invest it in our business. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiary to pay dividends to us only out of its accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, our PRC subsidiary is required to set aside at least 10% of its accumulated profits each year, if any, to fund certain reserve funds until the total amount set aside reaches 50% of its registered capital. Our PRC subsidiary may also allocate a portion of its after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to employee welfare and bonus funds at their discretion. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, if our PRC subsidiary incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. Any limitation on the ability of our PRC subsidiary to distribute dividends or to make payments to us may restrict our ability to satisfy our liquidity requirements.

In addition, the EIT Law, and its implementation rules provide that a withholding tax rate of up to 10% will be applicable to dividends payable by Chinese companies to non-PRC-resident enterprises unless otherwise exempted or reduced according to treaties or arrangements between the PRC central government and governments of other countries or regions where the non-PRC-resident enterprises are incorporated.

In response to the persistent capital outflow in China and the RMB’s depreciation against the U.S. dollar in the fourth quarter of 2016, the People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”) and SAFE promulgated a series of capital control measures in early 2017, including stricter vetting procedures for domestic companies to remit foreign currency for overseas investments, dividends payments and shareholder loan repayments. The PRC government may continue to strengthen its capital controls, and more restrictions and substantial vetting process may be put forward by SAFE for cross-border transactions falling under both the current account and the capital account. Any limitation on the ability of our PRC subsidiary to pay dividends or make other kinds of payments to us could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business, pay dividends, or otherwise fund and conduct our business.

Failure to obtain or maintain any of the preferential tax treatments or imposition of any additional taxes and surcharges could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Under the EIT Law and its implementation rules, the statutory enterprise income tax rate is 25%, but certain “software enterprise” and “high and new technology enterprises” are qualified for a preferential enterprise income tax rates subject to certain qualification criteria. A “high and new technology enterprise,” which is reassessed every three years, is entitled to favorable income tax rate of 15%. In 2021, Shandong Baoya New Energy Vehicle Co., Ltd. (“Shandong Baoya”) obtained qualification as a “high and new technology enterprise” and is entitled to enjoy a preferential income tax rate of 15% for the calendar years from 2021 to 2023. However, if it fails to maintain its qualified status, experiences any increase in the enterprise income tax rate, or faces any discontinuation, retroactive or future reduction or refund of any of the preferential tax treatments currently enjoyed, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Further, in the ordinary course of our business, we are subject to complex income tax and other tax regulations, and significant judgment is required in the determination of a provision for income taxes. Although we believe our tax provisions are reasonable, if the PRC tax authorities successfully challenge our position and we are required to pay tax, interest and penalties in excess of our tax provisions, our financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.

Fluctuations in exchange rates could result in foreign currency exchange losses to us and may reduce the value of, and amount in U.S. Dollars of dividends payable on, our shares in foreign currency terms and could impact our gross profit and gross margin.

The value of the RMB and the Hong Kong dollar against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions and the foreign exchange policy adopted by the PRC government. In August 2015, the PBOC, changed the way it calculates the mid-point price of RMB against the U.S. dollar, requiring the market-makers who submit for reference rates to consider the previous day’s closing spot rate, foreign-exchange demand and supply as well as changes in major currency rates. In 2018, the value of the RMB appreciated by approximately 5.5% against the U.S. dollar; and in 2019, the RMB appreciated by approximately 1.9% against the U.S. dollar. It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy, including any interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve, may impact the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar in the future. There remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt a more flexible currency policy, including from the U.S. government, which has threatened to label China as a “currency manipulator,” which could result in greater fluctuation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar. However, the PRC government may still at its discretion restrict access to foreign currencies for current account transactions in the future. Therefore, it is difficult to predict how market forces or government policies may impact the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar or other currencies in the future. In addition, the PBOC regularly intervenes in the foreign exchange market to limit fluctuations in RMB exchange rates and achieve policy goals. If the exchange rate between RMB and U.S. dollar fluctuates in unanticipated manners, our results of operations and financial condition, and the value of, and dividends payable on, our shares in foreign currency terms may be adversely affected. We may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders. Appreciation of RMB to U.S. dollar will result in foreign currency translation gain, while depreciation of RMB to U.S. dollar will result in foreign currency translation loss.

127

Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize our revenues effectively.

All of our revenues are denominated in Renminbi. The Renminbi is currently convertible under the “current account,” which includes dividends, trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, but not under the “capital account,” which includes foreign direct investment and loans, including loans we may secure from our onshore subsidiaries. Currently, our WFOE may purchase foreign currency for settlement of “current account transactions,” including payment of dividends to us, without the approval of SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, the relevant PRC governmental authorities may limit or eliminate our ability to purchase foreign currencies in the future for current account transactions. Since we expect a significant portion of our future revenue will be denominated in Renminbi, any existing and future restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize revenue generated in Renminbi to fund our business activities outside of the PRC or pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders. Foreign exchange transactions under the capital account remain subject to limitations and require approvals from, or registration with, SAFE and other relevant PRC governmental authorities. This could affect our ability to obtain foreign currency through debt or equity financing for our subsidiaries.

It may be difficult for overseas shareholders and/or regulators to conduct investigation or collect evidence within China.

Shareholder claims or regulatory investigation that are common in the United States generally are difficult to pursue as a matter of law or practicality in China. For example, in China, there are significant legal and other obstacles to providing information needed for regulatory investigations or litigation initiated outside China. Although the authorities in China may establish a regulatory cooperation mechanism with the securities regulatory authorities of another country or region to implement cross-border supervision and administration, such cooperation with the securities regulatory authorities in the Unities States may not be efficient in the absence of mutual and practical cooperation mechanism. Furthermore, according to Article 177 of the PRC Securities Law, or Article 177, which became effective in March 2020, no overseas securities regulator is allowed to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within the territory of the PRC without first receiving approval from the CSRC. While detailed interpretation of or implementation rules under Article 177 have yet to be promulgated, the inability for an overseas securities regulator to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within China may further increase difficulties faced by you in protecting your interests.

The approval of the CSRC, the CAC, or other PRC regulatory agencies may be required in connection with the Business Combination under a PRC regulation or any new laws, rules or regulations to be enacted, and if required, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such approval.

The M&A Rules adopted by six PRC regulatory agencies in 2006 and amended in 2009, requires an overseas special purpose vehicle formed for listing purposes through acquisitions of PRC domestic companies and controlled by PRC companies or individuals to obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to the listing and trading of such special purpose vehicle’s securities on an overseas stock exchange. In September 2006, the CSRC published a notice on its official website specifying documents and materials required to be submitted to it by a special purpose vehicle seeking CSRC approval of its overseas listings. However, substantial uncertainty remains regarding the scope and applicability of the M&A Rules to offshore special purpose vehicles. Currently, there is no consensus among leading PRC law firms regarding the scope and applicability of the CSRC approval requirement.

Our PRC counsel, Jincheng Tongda & Neal Law Firm (“JT&N”) , has advised us based on their understanding of the current PRC law, rules and regulations that the CSRC’s approval under the M&A Rules is not required for this Business Combination (including the offering of ordinary shares to U.S. investors) and the listing and trading of our ordinary shares on Nasdaq in the context of this Business Combination, given that:

●	the CSRC currently has not issued any definitive rule or interpretation concerning whether offerings like ours under this proxy statement/prospectus are subject to this regulation; and

●	WFOE was not established by a merger with or an acquisition of any PRC domestic companies as defined under the M&A Rules, and Shandong Baoya was incorporated as a domestic company in April 2009 and became a foreign-invested enterprise in July 2021, the acquisition of the equity of a foreign-invested enterprise shall not be a merger or acquisition of the equity or assets of a “PRC domestic enterprise” as defined under the M&A Rules.

128

However, our PRC legal counsel has further advised us that there remains some uncertainty as to how the M&A Rules will be interpreted or implemented in the context of an overseas offering and its opinions summarized above are subject to any new laws, rules and regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations in any form relating to the M&A Rules or overseas offering approval. We cannot assure you that relevant PRC governmental agencies, including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion as we do.

On July 10, 2021, the CAC issued a revised draft of the Measures for Cybersecurity Review for public comments, which required that, among others, in addition to “operators of critical information infrastructure,” any “data processor” controlling personal information of no less than one million users which seeks to list in a foreign stock exchange should also be subject to cybersecurity review, and further specifies the factors to be considered when assessing the national security risks of the relevant activities. On November 14, 2021, the CAC released the Network Internet Data Protection Draft Regulations (draft for comments) and accepted public comments until December 13, 2021. The Network Internet Data Protection Draft Regulations provide that data processors refer to individuals or organizations that autonomously determine the purpose and the manner of processing data. If a data processor that processes personal data of more than one million users intends to list overseas, it shall apply for a cybersecurity review. In addition, data processors that process important data or are listed overseas shall carry out an annual data security assessment on their own or by engaging a data security services institution, and the data security assessment report for the prior year should be submitted to the local cyberspace affairs administration department before January 31 of each year. We believe, based upon the opinion of our PRC counsel, that we are not subject to the cybersecurity review since (i) as companies that engaged in the research and development, production and sales of vehicles, including EVs, we and our subsidiaries are unlikely to be classified as CIIOs under the PRC Cybersecurity Law and the Security Protection Measures on Critical Information Infrastructure promulgated by the State Council on July 30, 2021; and (ii) we and our subsidiaries possess personal information of less than one million users. We cannot assure you, however, that regulators in China will not take a contrary view or will not subsequently require us to undergo the cybersecurity review and subject us to penalties for non-compliance.

There remains uncertainty, however, as to how the regulations or policies issued by the CAC will be interpreted or implemented and whether the CAC may adopt new laws, regulations, rules, or detailed implementation and interpretation. If any such new laws, regulations, rules, or implementation and interpretation come into effect, we will take all reasonable measures and actions to comply and to minimize the adverse effect of such laws on us.

The M&A Rules and certain other PRC regulations establish complex procedures for some acquisitions of Chinese companies by foreign investors, which could make it more difficult for us to pursue growth through acquisitions in China.

The M&A Rules discussed in the preceding risk factor and related regulations and rules concerning mergers and acquisitions established additional procedures and requirements that could make merger and acquisition activities by foreign investors more time-consuming and complex. For example, the M&A Rules require that MOFCOM be notified in advance of any change-of-control transaction in which a foreign investor takes control of a PRC domestic enterprise, if (i) any important industry is concerned, (ii) such transaction involves factors that have or may have impact on the national economic security, or (iii) such transaction will lead to a change in control of a domestic enterprise which holds a famous trademark or PRC time-honored brand, (iv) or in circumstances where overseas companies established or controlled by PRC enterprises or residents acquire affiliated domestic companies. Mergers, acquisitions or contractual arrangements that allow one market player to take control of or to exert decisive impact on another market player must also be notified in advance to the MOFCOM when the threshold under the Provisions on Thresholds for Prior Notification of Concentrations of Undertakings issued by the State Council in August 2008 is triggered.

129

In addition, the security review rules issued by the MOFCOM that became effective in September 2011 specify that mergers and acquisitions by foreign investors that raise “national defense and security” concerns and mergers and acquisitions through which foreign investors may acquire de facto control over domestic enterprises that raise “national security” concerns are subject to strict review by the MOFCOM, and the rules prohibit any activities attempting to bypass a security review, including by structuring the transaction through a proxy or contractual control arrangement. Furthermore, according to the security review, foreign investments that would result in acquiring the actual control of assets in certain key sectors, such as critical agricultural products, energy and resources, equipment manufacturing, infrastructure, transport, cultural products and services, information technology, Internet products and services, financial services and technology sectors, are required to obtain approval from designated governmental authorities in advance.

In the future, we may grow our business by acquiring complementary businesses. Complying with the requirements of the above-mentioned regulations and other relevant rules to complete such transactions, if required, could be time-consuming, and any required approval processes, including obtaining approval from the MOFCOM or its local counterparts may delay or inhibit our ability to complete such transactions. It is unclear whether our business would be deemed to be in an industry that raises “national defense and security” or “national security” concerns. However, the MOFCOM or other government agencies may publish explanations in the future determining that our business is in an industry subject to the security review, in which case our future acquisitions in the PRC, including those by way of entering into contractual control arrangements with target entities, may be closely scrutinized or prohibited. Our ability to expand our business or maintain or expand our market share through future acquisitions would as such be materially and adversely affected. Furthermore, according to the M&A Rules, if a PRC entity or individual plans to merge or acquire its related PRC entity through an overseas company legitimately incorporated or controlled by such entity or individual, such a merger and acquisition will be subject to examination and approval by the MOFCOM. There is a possibility that the PRC regulators may promulgate new rules or explanations requiring that we obtain the approval of the MOFCOM or other PRC governmental authorities for our completed or ongoing mergers and acquisitions. There is no assurance that, if we plan to make an acquisition, we can obtain such approval from the MOFCOM or any other relevant PRC governmental authorities for our mergers and acquisitions, and if we fail to obtain those approvals, we may be required to suspend our acquisition and be subject to penalties. Any uncertainties regarding such approval requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and corporate structure.

To the extent cash or assets in our business are in the PRC or Hong Kong or a PRC or Hong Kong entity, the funds or assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the PRC or Hong Kong due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of our company and our subsidiaries by the PRC government to transfer cash or assets, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and may result in our inability to sustain our growth and expansion strategies.

Chijet is an offshore holding company with no material operations of its own and conducts substantially all of its operations through its PRC subsidiary. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, substantially all of our cash and assets are located in the PRC. As a holding company, Chijet may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by its PRC subsidiary for its cash and financing requirements. If our PRC subsidiary incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing such debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends to us. We are in the process of adopting our formal cash management policies which will dictate the purpose, amount and procedure of cash transfers among our holding company and subsidiaries. Historically, one PRC operating entity provides financial support for other entities’ operations by inter-company loans and we have not experienced difficulties or limitations on our ability to transfer cash between subsidiaries. Prior to our reorganization for purpose of our listing, cash transfers among our PRC operating entities and their subsidiaries were generally approved by the management of the company providing the funds. After our reorganization, cash transfers among our holding company and subsidiaries of less than RMB5 million (US$0.78 million) must be reported to, reviewed and approved by the finance department of the company initiating such cash transfers; cash transfers equal to or in excess of RMB5 million (US$0.8 million) but less than RMB20 million (US$3.1 million) must be approved by the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of Chijet; cash transfers equal to or in excess of RMB20 million (US$3.1 million) must be approved by the board of directors of Chijet. Among Chijet and its subsidiaries, cash is transferred from Chijet and Baoyaev Group Limited as needed in the form of capital contributions or working capital loans, as the case may be, to the PRC subsidiary as we are permitted under PRC laws and regulations to provide funding to our PRC subsidiary only through loans or capital contributions, and only if we satisfy the applicable government registration and approval requirements. We believe that there is no restriction imposed by the Hong Kong government on the transfer of capital within, into and out of Hong Kong (including funds from Hong Kong to the PRC), except transfer of funds involving money laundering and criminal activities. However, to the extent cash or assets in our business are in the PRC or Hong Kong or a PRC or Hong Kong entity, the funds or assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the PRC or Hong Kong due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of our company and our subsidiaries by the PRC government to transfer cash or assets. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no transfers, dividends or other distributions have been made to date from our subsidiaries to our holding company nor have we or any of our subsidiaries ever paid dividends or made distributions to U.S. investors to date.

130

The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the Renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currencies to satisfy our foreign currency demands, we may not be able to transfer cash out of China, and pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders. Therefore, to the extent cash or assets in our business are in the PRC or Hong Kong or a PRC or Hong Kong entity, the funds or assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the PRC or Hong Kong due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of our company and our subsidiaries by the PRC government to transfer cash or assets, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and may result in our inability to sustain our growth and expansion strategies.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that the PRC government will not intervene or impose restrictions in future on our ability to transfer or distribute cash within our PRC subsidiary or to foreign investors, which could result in an inability or prohibition on making transfers or distributions outside of China and may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions in China against us or our management named in the proxy statement/prospectus based on foreign laws.

Chijet is an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. We conduct substantially all of our production and sales in China, and substantially all of our assets are located in China. In addition, our executive officers and certain directors are PRC nationals and reside within China for a significant portion of the time. The PRC does not have treaties providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts with the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan and many other jurisdictions. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to serve process upon us or those persons in China, or to enforce against us or them in China, any judgments obtained from non-PRC jurisdictions. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process upon us or those persons inside mainland China. It may also be difficult for you to enforce judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors who do not reside in the United States or have substantial assets located in the United States. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the PRC would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state.

Shareholder claims that are common in the United States, including securities law class actions and fraud claims, generally are difficult to pursue as a matter of law or practicality in China. For example, in China, there are significant legal and other obstacles to obtaining information needed for shareholder investigations or litigation outside China or otherwise with respect to foreign entities. Although the local authorities in China may establish a regulatory cooperation mechanism with the securities regulatory authorities of another country or region to implement cross-border supervision and administration, such regulatory cooperation with the securities regulatory authorities in the United States has not been efficient in the absence of mutual and practical cooperation mechanism. According to Article 177 of the PRC Securities Law which became effective in March 2020, no overseas securities regulator is allowed to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within the PRC. Accordingly, without the consent of the competent PRC securities regulators or other relevant authorities, no entity or individual may provide any documents and materials relating to securities business activities to foreign entities or government agencies.

The tension in international trade and rising political tension, particularly between U.S. and China, may adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Although cross-border business may not be an area of our focus, as we plan to expand our business internationally in the future, any unfavorable government policies on international trade, such as capital controls or tariffs, may affect the demand for our products and services, impact our competitive position, or prevent us from being able to conduct business in certain countries. If any new tariffs, legislation, or regulations are implemented, or if existing trade agreements are renegotiated, such changes could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Recently, there have been heightened tensions in international economic relations, such as the one between the United States and China. The U.S. government has recently imposed, and has recently proposed to impose additional, new, or higher tariffs on certain products imported from China to penalize China for what it characterizes as unfair trade practices. China has responded by imposing, and proposing to impose additional, new, or higher tariffs on certain products imported from the United States. Following mutual retaliatory actions for months, on January 15, 2020, the United States and China entered into the Economic and Trade Agreement Between the United States of America and the People’s Republic of China as a phase one trade deal, effective on February 14, 2020.

131

Although the direct impact of the current international trade tension, and any escalation of such tension, on the healthy food industry in China is uncertain, the negative impact on general, economic, political and social conditions may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, political tensions between the United States and China have escalated due to, among other things, trade disputes, the COVID-19 outbreak, sanctions imposed by the U.S. Department of Treasury on certain officials of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the central government of the PRC and the executive orders issued by U.S. President Donald J. Trump in August 2020 that prohibit certain transactions with certain Chinese companies and their applications. Rising political tensions could reduce levels of trades, investments, technological exchanges and other economic activities between the two major economies, which would have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Relating to JWAC, Pubco and the Business Combination

The process of taking a company public by means of a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company (a “SPAC”) is different from taking a company public through an underwritten public offering and may create risks for unaffiliated investors.

An underwritten offering involves a company engaging underwriters to purchase its shares and resell them to the public. An underwritten offering imposes statutory liability on the underwriters for material misstatements or omissions contained in the registration statement unless they are able to sustain the burden of providing that they did not know and could not reasonably have discovered such material misstatements or omissions. This is referred to as a “due diligence” defense and results in the underwriters undertaking a detailed review of the company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Going public via a business combination with a SPAC does not involve any underwriters and does not generally necessitate the level of review required to establish a “due diligence” defense as would be customary in an underwritten offering.

In addition, going public via a business combination with a SPAC does not involve a book-building process as is the case in an underwritten public offering. In any underwritten public offering, the initial value of a company is set by investors who indicate the price at which they are prepared to purchase shares from the underwriters. In the case of a SPAC transaction, the value of the company is established by means of negotiations between the target company, the SPAC and, in some cases, other investors who agree to purchase shares at the time of the business combination. The process of establishing the value of a company in a SPAC business combination may be less effective than the book-building process in an underwritten public offering and also does not reflect events that may have occurred between the date of the Business Combination Agreement and the closing of the transaction. In addition, underwritten public offerings are frequently oversubscribed resulting in additional potential demand for shares in the aftermarket following the underwritten public offering. There is no such book of demand built up in connection with a SPAC transaction and no underwriters with the responsibility of stabilizing the share price which may result in the share price being harder to sustain after the transaction.

Certain of our officers and directors are now, and all of them may in the future become, affiliated with entities engaged in business activities similar to those conducted by us and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time and determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.

Until we consummate our initial business combination, we intend to engage in the business of identifying and combining with one or more businesses. The Sponsor and our officers and directors are, and may in the future become, affiliated with entities (such as operating companies or investment vehicles) that are engaged in a similar business, including other special purpose acquisition companies with a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act.

132

Our officers and directors also may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us and the other entities to which they owe certain fiduciary or contractual duties. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we renounce our interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as our director or officer and such opportunity is one we are legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for us to pursue, and to the extent the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to us without violating any legal obligation.

In the absence of the “corporate opportunity” waiver in our charter, certain candidates would not be able to serve as an officer or director. We believe we substantially benefit from having representatives who bring significant, relevant and valuable experience to our management, and, as a result, the inclusion of the “corporate opportunity” waiver in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides us with greater flexibility to attract and retain the officers and directors that we feel are the best candidates.

However, the personal and financial interests of our directors and officers may influence their motivation in timely identifying and selecting a target business and completing a business combination. The different timelines of competing business combinations could cause our directors and officers to prioritize a different business combination over finding a suitable acquisition target for our business combination. Consequently, our directors’ and officers’ discretion in identifying and selecting a suitable target business may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether the terms, conditions and timing of a particular business combination are appropriate and in our stockholders’ best interest, which could negatively impact the timing for a business combination. We are not aware of any such conflicts of interest and do not believe that any such conflicts of interest impacted our search for an acquisition target.

If JWAC does not consummate a business combination by the termination date of March 9, 2023 (or such later date as may be extended by means of a further contribution to the Trust Account in accordance with the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation or amendment to such certificate), JWAC will have to cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and redeem all of its public shares for their pro rata portions of the Trust Account and liquidate, or seek approval of its stockholders to extend the termination date.

If JWAC is unable to complete a business combination by March 9, 2023 (or such later date as may be extended by means of a further contribution to the Trust Account in accordance with the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation or amendment to such certificate), JWAC will have to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) business days thereafter, redeem all public shares then outstanding at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, (less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to its obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the only significant asset of the Combined Entity will be ownership of 100% of the Chijet Ordinary Shares and the Combined Entity does not currently intend to pay dividends on its common stock and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of Pubco Ordinary Shares.

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the Combined Entity will have no direct operations and no significant assets other than the ownership of 100% of the Chijet Ordinary Shares. Promptly after the consummation of the Business Combination, JWAC is required distribute any remaining funds in the Trust Account to Pubco, who is then required to contribute such funds along with any other cash held by Pubco (net of necessary reserves) to Chijet. Pubco will depend on Chijet for distributions, loans and other payments to generate the funds necessary to meet its financial obligations, including its expenses as a publicly traded company, and to pay any dividends with respect to its stock. Legal and contractual restrictions may limit Pubco’s ability to obtain cash from Chijet. Thus, Pubco does not expect to pay cash dividends on its common stock. Any future dividend payments are within the absolute discretion of the board of directors of Pubco and will depend on, among other things, Pubco’s results of operations, working capital requirements, capital expenditure requirements, financial condition, level of indebtedness, contractual restrictions with respect to payment of dividends, business opportunities, anticipated cash needs, provisions of applicable law and other factors that its board of directors may deem relevant.

133

JWAC will incur significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Business Combination. If JWAC fails to consummate the Business Combination, it may not have sufficient cash available to pay such costs.

JWAC expects to incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with consummating the Business Combination. Some of these costs are payable regardless of whether the Business Combination is completed. JWAC’s transaction expenses as a result of the Business Combination are currently estimated at approximately $6.5 million, which is comprised of (i) $4,830,000 in deferred underwriting compensation payable to the underwriters of its IPO and (ii) approximately $1.7 million relating to fees associated with legal, audit, printing and mailing this proxy statement/prospectus, investor relations, insurance, and other operating costs related to the Business Combination. Chijet estimates its Business Combination costs to be approximately $17.5 million which is comprised of approximately $13 million of legal, accounting, financial consulting, investor relations, and underwriter commission. If JWAC and Chijet do not consummate the Business Combination, each party will be required to pay its own fees and expenses, and JWAC likely will not have sufficient cash available to pay its fees and expenses unless and until it completes a subsequent business combination transaction.

The working capital available to the Combined Company after the Business Combination will be reduced to the extent JWAC’s stockholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination and will also be reduced to the extent of Chijet’s and JWAC’s transaction expenses, which will be payable by the Combined Company. This may adversely affect the business and future operations of the Combined Company.

The amount of working capital available to the Combined Company after the Business Combination will depend in part on the extent to which JWAC stockholders exercise their right to redeem their shares into cash in connection with the Business Combination. The Combined Company’s working capital will be reduced in proportion to such redemptions, and will also be reduced to the extent of JWAC’s and Chijet’s transaction expenses, which will be payable by the Combined Company. Reduced working capital may adversely affect the Combined Company’s business and future operations.

If the funds held outside of our Trust Account are insufficient to allow us to operate until at least March 9, 2023 (or such later date as may be extended by means of a further contribution to the Trust Account in accordance with the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation or amendment to such certificate), our ability to complete an initial business combination may be adversely affected.

We believe the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account will be sufficient to allow us to operate until we complete our business combination; however, we cannot assure you that our estimate is accurate. If we are required to seek additional capital, we would need to borrow funds from our Sponsor, management team or other third parties to operate or may be forced to liquidate. Neither our Sponsor, members of our management team nor any of their affiliates is under any obligation to advance funds to us in such circumstances. Any such advances would be repaid only from funds held outside the Trust Account or from funds released to us upon completion of our initial business combination. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units of private placement-equivalent units at a price of $10.00 per unit (which, for example, would result in the holders being issued 168,750 shares of JWAC Class A Common Stock if $1,500,000 of notes were so converted since the 150,000 rights included in such units would result in the issuance of 18,750 shares upon the closing of the Business Combination), at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the private placement units. As of June 30, 2022, there were no outstanding working capital loans. Prior to the completion of our initial business combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our Trust Account. 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 Account. Consequently, our public stockholders may only receive an estimated $10.157 per share, or possibly less, on our redemption of our public shares, and our rights and warrants will expire worthless.

134

Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, since we will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating if we are unable to complete an initial business combination by March 9, 2023 (or such later date as may be extended by means of a further contribution to the Trust Account in accordance with the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation or amendment to such certificate).

As of October 31, 2022, JWAC had $418,242 in cash held outside of the Trust Account for its working capital needs. JWAC has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. We may need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. Further, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination. 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 completion of our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. In addition, we intend to target businesses larger than we could acquire with the net proceeds of our initial public offering and the sale of the placement units, and may as a result be required to seek additional financing to complete such proposed initial 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 Account. 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. While JWAC intends to complete the proposed Business Combination before March 9, 2023 (or such later date as may be extended by means of a further contribution to the Trust Account in accordance with the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation or amendment to such certificate) there are no assurances that this will happen. The date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about JWAC’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Resources could be wasted in researching acquisitions that are not completed (including the proposed Business Combination), which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge with another business. If we have not completed our initial business combination within the required time period, our public stockholders may receive only approximately $10.10 per share, or less than such amount in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our Trust Account and our rights and warrants will expire worthless.

We anticipate that the investigation of each specific target business and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial costs for accountants, attorneys and others. If we decide not to complete a specific initial business combination, such as the proposed Business Combination, the costs incurred up to that point for the proposed transaction likely would not be recoverable. Furthermore, if we reach an agreement relating to a specific target business, such as Chijet, we may fail to complete our initial business combination for any number of reasons including those beyond our control. Any such event will result in a loss to us of the related costs incurred which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge with another business. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public stockholders may receive only approximately $10.36 per share on the liquidation of our Trust Account and our rights and warrants will expire worthless.

Recent increases in inflation and interest rates in the United States and elsewhere could make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial business combination.

Recent increases in inflation and interest rates in the United States and elsewhere may lead to increased price volatility for publicly traded securities, including ours, and may lead to other national, regional and international economic disruptions, any of which could make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial business combination.

135

We are currently experiencing a period of economic uncertainty and price volatility for publicly traded securities, which has been significantly impacted by geopolitical instability due to the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Our search for a business combination, and any target business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination, may be materially adversely affected by any negative impact on the global economy and capital markets resulting from the conflict in Ukraine or any other geopolitical tensions.

U.S. and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions and the start of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. On February 24, 2022, a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops was reported. The length and impact of the ongoing military conflict is highly unpredictable, and could continue leading to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions. We continue to monitor the situation in Ukraine and globally and assessing its potential impact on our business. Additionally, Russia’s prior annexation of Crimea, recognition of two separatist republics in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine and subsequent military interventions in Ukraine have led to sanctions and other penalties being levied by the United States, European Union and other countries against Russia, Belarus, the Crimea Region of Ukraine, the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic, and the so-called Luhansk People’s Republic, including agreement to remove certain Russian financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) payment system, expansive ban on imports and exports of products to and from Russia and ban on exportation of U.S. denominated banknotes to Russia or persons located there. Additional potential sanctions and penalties have also been proposed and/or threatened. Russian military actions and the resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets, potentially making it more difficult for us to obtain additional funds. Any of the above-mentioned factors could affect our ability to search for a target and consummate a business combination. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial and any such disruptions may also magnify the impact of other risks described in this prospectus. These, individually or as a whole, may result in a negative impact on the markets and, thereby, may negatively impact our ability to consummate a business combination or, if we complete such combination, our operations might suffer, either of which may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

JWAC and Chijet have no history operating as a combined company. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial information may not be an indication of the Combined Company’s financial condition or results of operations following the Business Combination or would have been, and accordingly, you have limited financial information on which to evaluate Chijet and your investment decision.

JWAC and Chijet have no prior history as a combined entity and their operations have not been previously managed on a combined basis. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus has been prepared using the historical financial statements of JWAC and Chijet, and is presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the Combined Company’s condensed financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Business Combination been consummated prior to June 30, 2022, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results of operations. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial statements do not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the Combined Company. See the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Combined Financial Information” for more information.

Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented. The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Business Combination are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that JWAC believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments and it is possible the difference may be material. JWAC believes that these assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Business Combination based on information available to management at the time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial information. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Business Combination taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the post-combination company. They should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of JWAC and Chijet.

The Business Combination remains subject to conditions that JWAC cannot control and if such conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Business Combination may not be consummated.

The Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions, including the condition that JWAC have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-5(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) immediately after consummation of the Business Combination, that the Minimum Cash Condition is satisfied, that there is no legal prohibition against consummation of the Business Combination, that the Pubco Ordinary Shares be approved for listing on Nasdaq subject only to official notice of issuance thereof, that JWAC and Chijet receive evidence that Pubco will qualifies as a “foreign private issuer” pursuant to Rule 3b-4 of the Exchange Act, continued effectiveness of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part, the truth and accuracy of JWAC’s and Chijet’s representations and warranties made in the Business Combination Agreement, the non-termination of the Business Combination Agreement and agreements by both JWAC and Chijet. There are no assurances that all conditions to the Business Combination will be satisfied or that the conditions will be satisfied in the time frame expected.

136

If the conditions to the Business Combination are not met (and are not waived, to the extent waivable), either JWAC or Chijet may, subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, terminate the Business Combination Agreement. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “The Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Agreements — Termination.”

The Business Combination may be completed even though material adverse effects may result from the announcement of the Business Combination, industry-wide changes and other causes.

In general, either JWAC or Chijet may refuse to complete the Business Combination if there is a material adverse effect affecting Chijet or Pubco between the signing date of the Business Combination Agreement and the planned closing. However, certain types of changes do not permit either party to refuse to consummate the Business Combination, even if such change could be said to have a material adverse effect on Chijet or Pubco, including the following events (except, in certain cases where the change has a disproportionate effect on a party):

	●	general changes in the financial or securities markets or general economic or political conditions;
	●	changes, conditions or effects that generally affect the industries in which the party operates;
	●	changes in applicable laws, including COVID-10 measures, or GAAP or other applicable accounting principles;
	●	conditions caused by acts of God, epidemic, terrorism, war (whether or not declared), natural disaster or pandemic (including COVID-19); or
	●	changes attributable to the public announcement or performance of the Business Combination Agreement.

Furthermore, JWAC or Chijet may waive the occurrence of a material adverse effect affecting the other party. If a material adverse effect occurs and the parties still consummate the Business Combination, the market trading price of the Pubco Ordinary Shares may suffer.

The exercise of JWAC’s discretion in agreeing to changes to or waivers of terms of the Business Combination may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in JWAC’s best interests.

In the period leading up to the closing of the Business Combination, events may occur that, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, would require JWAC to agree to amend the Business Combination Agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by Chijet, or to waive rights that JWAC is entitled to under the Business Combination Agreement. For example, it is a condition to JWAC’s obligations to close the Business Combination that the representations and warranties of Chijet Holders are true and correct in all respects as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement and as of the date of the Closing (or an earlier date to the extent that an earlier date is referenced in the representation and warranty), except, for certain of the representations and warranties, for such inaccuracies that, individually or in the aggregate, would not result in a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) on Chijet. Under applicable law and JWAC’s existing charter, JWAC is not able to waive the condition that its stockholders approve the Business Combination.

In any of such circumstances, it would be at JWAC’s discretion, acting through its board of directors, to grant its consent or waive its rights. The existence of the financial and personal interests of the directors and officers described in these risk factors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors or officers between what he or they may believe is best for JWAC and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, JWAC does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that JWAC’s directors and officers would be likely to make after stockholder approval of the Business Combination Proposal has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further stockholder approval, JWAC will circulate a new or amended proxy statement/prospectus and resolicit approval by JWAC’s stockholders if changes to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement would have a material impact on its stockholders or represent a fundamental change in the proposals being voted upon.

137

The Sponsor, and JWAC’s directors and officers, have conflicts of interest in determining to pursue the Business Combination with Chijet, since certain of their interests, and certain interests of their affiliates and associates, are different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) the interests of JWAC’s stockholders.

The Sponsor, and officers and directors of JWAC, have interests in and arising from the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) the interests of JWAC’s public stockholders, which may result in a conflict of interest. These interests include:

	●	If the Business Combination, or another business combination, is not consummated by March 9, 2023 (or such later date as may be extended by means of a further contribution to the Trust Account in accordance with the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation or amendment to such certificate), then JWAC will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) 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 franchise and income taxes (less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

	●	Our Sponsor paid an aggregate of $50,000 for the founder shares, or approximately $0.017 per founder share. As a result, our Sponsor, its affiliates and our management team and advisors could make a substantial profit if the Business Combination is consummated. On the other hand, if the Business Combination is not consummated, such founder shares will be worthless.

	●	Our Sponsor has agreed to purchase an aggregate of 425,000 units (or 470,000 units if the over-allotment option is exercised in full) at a price of $10.00 per unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $4,250,000 (or 4,700,000 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full), and I-Bankers has agreed to purchase an aggregate of 90,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $900,000, that will also be worthless if the Business Combination is not consummated.

	●	Within 10 days following the Business Combination, if it is approved and consummated, the Company will issue to our officers and directors an aggregate of 300,000 shares of JWAC Common Stock, with the same lock-up restrictions and registration rights as the founder shares

	●	Our Sponsor has agreed to waive its redemption rights with respect to any founder shares, any private placement shares and any public shares held in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination. Additionally, our Sponsor has agreed to waive its redemption rights with respect to any founder shares or private placement shares held by it if we fail to consummate the Business Combination within the required time period. If we do not complete our initial business combination within such applicable time period, the proceeds of the sale of the private placement units held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of our public shares, and the private placement rights (and the underlying securities) will expire worthless. Subject to certain limited exceptions, our sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell 50% of its founder shares until the earlier of (i) six months after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination or (ii) the date on which the closing price of our shares of common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock sub-divisions, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after our initial business combination and the remaining 50% of the founder shares may not be transferred, assigned or sold until six months after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to our initial business combination, we consummate a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. With certain limited exceptions, the private units will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination.

138

These interests may influence JWAC’s directors in making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal, and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Our Sponsor and JWAC’s affiliates will lose their entire investment of privately placed shares (consisting of founder shares and placement units) in JWAC if the Business Combination is not completed and, therefore, they may have had a conflict of interest in identifying and selecting Chijet for JWAC’s initial business combination in order to close the Business Combination.

The JWAC Initial Stockholders, including our Sponsor, and their permitted transferees, currently own an aggregate of 3,450,000 Class B Common Stock, or founder shares, for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000. In addition, our Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 493,000 placement units for $4,930,000 in a Private Placement that occurred simultaneously with the consummation of our IPO and upon exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. All of such founder shares and placement units will be worthless if an initial business combination is not consummated. The personal and financial interests of our Sponsor and its affiliates may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting Chijet for its target business combination and consummating the Business Combination in order to close the Business Combination.

If JWAC stockholders fail to properly demand redemption rights, they will not be entitled to convert their JWAC Class A Common Stock into a pro rata portion of the Trust Account.

JWAC stockholders holding public shares may demand that JWAC convert their public shares into a pro rata portion of the Trust Account, calculated as of two (2) business days before the Special Meeting. To demand redemption rights, stockholders must deliver, either physically or electronically, their certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, JWAC’s transfer agent no later than two (2) business days before the Special Meeting. Any stockholder who fails to properly demand redemption rights by delivering his, her or its shares will not be entitled to convert his, her or its shares into a pro rata portion of the Trust Account. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Special Meeting of JWAC Stockholders — Redemption Rights” for a detailed description of the necessary procedures.

Holders who redeem their public shares of JWAC Common Stock may continue to hold any JWAC Rights that they own, which results in additional dilution to non-redeeming holders upon exercise of the JWAC Rights.

Public stockholders who redeem their shares of JWAC Common Stock may continue to hold any JWAC Rights that they owned prior to redemption, which results in additional dilution to non- redeeming holders upon exercise of such JWAC Rights. Assuming the maximum redemption of the shares of JWAC Common Stock held by the redeeming holders of JWAC public shares, up to 13,800,000 publicly traded JWAC Rights would be retained by redeeming holders of JWAC public shares (assuming all such holders elected not to exercise their warrants) with an aggregate market value of $1,518,000, based on the market price of $0.11 per JWAC Rights as of November 4, 2022. As a result, the redeeming holders of JWAC public shares would recoup their entire investment (and any JWAC Rights will automatically convert into Pubco Ordinary Shares), whereas non-redeeming holders of JWAC public shares would suffer additional dilution in their percentage ownership and voting interest of Pubco if the Business Combination is consummated, upon automatic exercise of the JWAC Rights at Closing of the Business Combination. However, if redemptions exceed the amount allowable for consummation of the Business Combination, or the Business Combination is otherwise not consummated, the JWAC Rights will not be exercisable and expire worthless.

Deferred underwriting fees in connection with the IPO and payable at the consummation of our initial business combination will not be adjusted to account for redemptions by our public stockholders; if our public stockholders exercise their redemption rights, the amount of effective total underwriting commissions as a percentage of the aggregate proceeds from the IPO will increase.

The underwriters in our IPO are entitled to deferred underwriting commissions totaling $4,830,000 upon the consummation of our initial business combination, such amounts being held in our Trust Account until the consummation of our initial business combination. The deferred underwriting commissions will not be adjusted to account for redemptions of public shares by our public stockholders. Accordingly, the amount of effective total underwriting commissions as a percentage of the aggregate proceeds from the IPO will increase as the number of public shares redeemed increases. Assuming the exercise of the Rights, if no public stockholders of JWAC exercise redemption rights with respect to their public shares, the effective deferred underwriting fee would be approximately $0.30 per public share on a pro forma basis (or 3% of the value of public shares assuming a trading price of $10.00 per public share). If public stockholders of JWAC exercise redemption rights with respect to 50% of public shares in connection with the Business Combination, the effective deferred underwriting fee would be approximately $0.35 per public share on a pro forma basis (or 3.5% of the value of shares assuming a trading price of $10.00 per public share). If holders of our public shares exercise redemption rights with respect to the maximum number of public shares which would nevertheless allow us to consummate the Business Combination, the effective deferred underwriting fee would be approximately $0.70 per public share on a pro forma basis (or 7% of the value of shares assuming a trading price of $10.00 per public share).

139

Since the Sponsor, and JWAC’s executive officers and directors will not be eligible for reimbursements of their out-of-pocket expenses if the Business Combination is not completed, a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether Chijet is appropriate for JWAC’s initial business combination in order to close the Business Combination.

At the Closing of the Business Combination, our Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf. Unless JWAC consummates an initial business combination, JWAC’s officers, directors and the Sponsor will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount of available proceeds not deposited in the Trust Account, and which amount as of October 31, 2022 is $418,242. Although the amount of such expenses will vary depending on the level of redemptions of JWAC Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination, these out-of-pocket expenses are estimated to be approximately $6.5 million if there are no redemptions, $6.5 million if 50% of the outstanding shares of JWAC Common Stock are redeemed and $6.5 million if the maximum amount of redemptions occur which would continue to allow us to consummate the Business Combination. These financial interests of the Sponsor, executive officers and directors of JWAC may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting Chijet for the Business Combination in order to close the Business Combination.

JWAC’s ability to successfully effect the Business Combination and the Combined Company’s ability to successfully operate the business thereafter will be largely dependent upon the efforts of certain key personnel, including the key personnel of Chijet, all of whom are expected to stay with Chijet following the Business Combination. The loss of such key personnel could negatively impact the operations and profitability of the post-combination business.

JWAC’s ability to successfully effect the Business Combination and the Combined Company’s ability to successfully operate the business is dependent upon the efforts of certain key personnel of Chijet, particularly Mu Hongwei. Although all of such key personnel are expected to remain with Chijet following the Business Combination, it is possible that the Combined Entity will lose some key personnel, the loss of which could negatively impact the operations and profitability of the post-combination business. Furthermore, while JWAC has scrutinized individuals it intends to engage to stay with Chijet following the Business Combination, its assessment of these individuals may not prove to be correct. These individuals may be unfamiliar with the requirements of operating a company regulated by the SEC, which could cause the Combined Company to have to expend time and resources helping them become familiar with such requirements.

If the Business Combination’s benefits do not meet the expectations of investors, stockholders or financial analysts, the market price of JWAC’s or Pubco’s securities may decline.

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

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

140

Factors affecting the trading price of Pubco’s securities following the Business Combination may include:

	●	actual or anticipated fluctuations in the quarterly financial results of Pubco or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to Pubco;
	●	changes in the market’s expectations about Pubco’s operating results;
	●	success of competitors;
	●	Pubco’s operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;
	●	changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning Pubco or the industry in general;
	●	operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to Pubco;
	●	Pubco’s ability to market new and enhanced products on a timely basis;
	●	changes in laws and regulations affecting Pubco’s business;
	●	commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving Pubco;
	●	changes in Pubco’s capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;
	●	the volume of Pubco Ordinary Shares available for public sale;
	●	any major change in the board or management of Pubco;
	●	sales of substantial amounts of Pubco stock by its directors, executive officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur; and
	●	general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism.

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of Pubco’s securities irrespective of its operating performance. The stock market in general has experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of Pubco’s securities, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for clean energy related stocks or the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to Pubco could depress its stock price regardless of its business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of Pubco’s securities also could adversely affect its ability to issue additional securities and its ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

The Sponsor, and JWAC’s directors and officers have agreed to vote in favor of its initial business combination, regardless of how JWAC’s public stockholders vote.

Unlike many other blank check companies in which the founders agree to vote their founder shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the public stockholders in connection with an initial business combination, the Sponsor, JWAC’s directors and officers have agreed to vote their founder shares and placement shares, as well as any public shares purchased by them in or after the JWAC IPO, in favor of the initial business combination of JWAC. Our Sponsor together with our directors and officers and permitted transferees currently own 3,450,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 493,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, representing 21.7% of the 18,155,000 issued and outstanding shares of JWAC Common Stock. Accordingly, it is more likely that the necessary stockholder approval will be received than would be the case if JWAC’s Sponsor, directors and officers agreed to vote their founder shares and placement shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by its public stockholders.

The Sponsor, JWAC’s directors and officers and advisors and their respective affiliates may elect to purchase shares from holders of our public shares in connection with the Business Combination, which may influence the vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of JWAC Common Stock.

The Sponsor, JWAC’s directors and officers and advisors and their respective affiliates may purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of the Business Combination, although they are under no obligation to do so. No such person will make any such purchases when such persons are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller or during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Such purchases may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record holder of JWAC’s shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor, JWAC’s directors and officers and advisors or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from holders of our public shares who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The price per share paid in any such transaction may be different than the amount per share a public stockholder would receive if it elected to redeem its shares in connection with the Business Combination. The purpose of such purchases could be to vote such shares in favor of the Business Combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval or to satisfy the closing condition that requires JWAC to have a minimum amount of cash upon the consummation of the Business Combination, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. This may result in the completion of the Business Combination although it may not otherwise have been possible. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Sections 13 and 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements.

141

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of the JWAC Common Stock and the number of beneficial holders of JWAC’s securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to maintain the quotation, listing or trading of JWAC’s securities on a national securities exchange, including Nasdaq.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no agreements with respect to the private purchase of public shares by the persons described above have been entered into with any such investor or holder. JWAC will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC to disclose private arrangements entered into or significant private purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the Business Combination Proposal or other proposals.

The Pubco Ordinary Shares to be received by JWAC’s stockholders as a result of the Business Combination will have different rights from shares of JWAC Common Stock.

Following completion of the Business Combination, the JWAC stockholders will no longer be stockholders of JWAC but will instead be stockholders of Pubco. There will be important differences between your current rights as a JWAC stockholder and your rights as a Pubco stockholder. See “Comparison of Stockholder Rights” for a discussion of the different rights associated with the shares.

JWAC’s stockholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after consummation of the Business Combination and will exercise less influence over management.

After the completion of the Business Combination, JWAC’s stockholders will own a smaller percentage of Pubco than they currently own of JWAC. Immediately upon completion of the Business Combination, it is anticipated that JWAC’s stockholders and the Sponsor will own approximately 10.8% of the Pubco Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, and of that amount approximately 2.4% will be owned by the Sponsor, assuming that none of JWAC stockholders exercise their redemption rights and exercise by all of our Rights Holders. Consequently, JWAC’s stockholders, as a group, will have reduced ownership and voting power in Pubco compared to their ownership and voting power in JWAC.

Subsequent to the consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on its financial condition, results of operations and stock price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

Although JWAC has conducted due diligence on Chijet, there is no assurance that this diligence revealed all material issues that may be present in Chijet’ business, that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of JWAC’s and Chijet’s control will not later arise. As a result, Pubco may be forced later to write-down or write-off assets, restructure its operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in losses. Even if JWAC’s due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with JWAC’s preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on the liquidity of Pubco, the fact that Pubco reports charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about the Combined Company or its securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause Pubco to be unable to obtain future financing on favorable terms or at all.

142

Our rights and founder shares may have an adverse effect on the market price of JWAC Common Stock and Pubco Ordinary Shares.

We issued in our IPO rights convertible into up to 1,725,000 shares of JWAC Common Stock. Simultaneously with the IPO, we issued placement units, in a private placement to our Sponsor and I-Bankers, consisting of placement rights convertible into up to an aggregate of 78,625 shares of JWAC Common Stock. The JWAC Initial Stockholders also currently own an aggregate of 3,450,000 founder shares, which are convertible into shares of JWAC Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as described in this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, if our Sponsor makes any working capital loans, up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be converted into units, at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender, upon consummation of our initial business combination. Those units, if any, would be identical to the placement units, although as of June 30, 2022, there were no such working capital loans outstanding. The potential for the issuance of a substantial number of additional shares of Class A Common Stock upon exercise of these warrants, conversion of these rights and loan conversion rights will increase the number of issued and outstanding shares of our JWAC Common Stock and reduce the value of the shares of JWAC Common Stock issued to complete the Business Combination.

Holders of JWAC Rights may elect to redeem their public shares while retaining their JWAC Rights, although if redemptions exceed the threshold allowable for us to consummate the Business Combination, the JWAC Rights will expire worthless.

A decision to redeem public shares will have no effect on our shareholders’ ability to hold JWAC Rights. But a decision to redeem public shares carries a risk to the value of JWAC Rights.

The JWAC Rights are only exercisable or convertible into JWAC Common Stock subject to and upon occurrence of the consummation of a business combination. See “Description of Securities of Pubco —Rights” for further information. However, we cannot consummate a business combination, including the Business Combination, among other things, if redemptions of our public shares exceed the amount allowable for us to proceed with the Business Combination. The Closing of the Business Combination is conditioned, among other things, on JWAC having met the Minimum Cash Condition of $10 million as of the Closing, after giving effect to the redemptions of JWAC Common Stock (and payment of all of JWAC’s expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby). See “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus -The Business Combination and Business Combination Agreement - Conditions to Consummation of the Merger” for more information.

Accordingly, if redemptions exceed the amount we need to fulfill our Working Capital requirements and we cannot consummate the Business Combination, your JWAC Rights will not be exercisable into JWAC Common Stock, and if we fail to consummate a business combination prior to our termination, your JWAC Rights will expire worthless.

Pubco may not be able to timely and effectively implement controls and procedures required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that will be applicable to it after the Business Combination.

Neither JWAC nor Chijet is currently subject to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. However, following the Business Combination, Pubco will be required to provide management’s attestation on internal controls. The standards required for a public company under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are significantly more stringent than those required of Chijet as a privately-held company. Management may not be able to effectively and timely implement controls and procedures that adequately respond to the regulatory compliance and reporting requirements that will be applicable to Pubco after the Business Combination. If Pubco is not able to implement the additional requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, Pubco may not be able to assess whether its internal controls over financial reporting are effective, which may subject it to adverse regulatory consequences and could harm investor confidence and the market price of its common stock.

The requirements of being a public company may strain Pubco’s resources and divert management’s attention.

As a public company, Pubco will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act, the listing requirements of Nasdaq and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Compliance with these rules and regulations will increase the legal and financial compliance costs of Pubco, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and increase demand on Pubco’s systems and resources, particularly after it is no longer an “emerging growth company.” The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that Pubco maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. In order to maintain and, if required, improve Pubco’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to meet this standard, significant resources and management oversight may be required. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could adversely affect Pubco’s business and operating results. Pubco may need to hire more employees in the future or engage outside consultants to comply with these requirements, which will increase its costs and expenses.

143

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

Pubco is an “emerging growth company” and it cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make its shares of common stock less attractive to investors.

Pubco is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in 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 nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Additionally, as an emerging growth company, Pubco elected to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As such, the financial statements of Pubco may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. It cannot be predicted if investors will find Pubco Ordinary Shares less attractive because Pubco may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find Pubco Ordinary Shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for Pubco Ordinary Shares and its share price may be more volatile.

The future exercise of registration rights may adversely affect the market price of Pubco Ordinary Shares.

In connection with the Business Combination Agreement, Pubco, JWAC, our Sponsor and other persons and entities will enter into an amended and restated registration rights agreement. Pursuant to such agreement, Pubco will be obligated to file a registration statement to register the resale of Pubco Ordinary Shares issued in connection with the Business Combination to specified equity holders of Chijet and JWAC. The agreement also provides these persons with demand and “piggy-back” registration rights as to their Pubco Ordinary Shares, subject to certain minimum requirements and customary conditions. See “Shares Eligible for Future Sale- Registration Rights Agreement” for further details. The presence of these additional Pubco Ordinary Shares trading in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of Pubco’s securities. Additionally, the Chijet Holders are being granted piggy-back registration rights under the transmittal letters for any shares that may be issued to them by Pubco under the Business Combination Agreement after the Closing for purchase price adjustments or indemnification claims.

Future resales of Pubco Ordinary Shares issued in connection with the Business Combination may cause the market price of Pubco Ordinary Shares to drop significantly, even if Pubco’s business is doing well.

Our Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed in a lock-up agreement not to transfer, assign or sell any of JWAC Class B Common Stock (except to certain permitted transferees) until the earlier of (i) six months after the date of the consummation of a Business Combination, (ii) the date on which the closing price of Pubco Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period from the Closing until such six months after a Business Combination or (iii) if, earlier, the date the Combined Company consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Combined Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Agreements — Lock-Up Agreements.”

144

Upon expiration of the applicable lock-up periods, and in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, such stockholders may sell large amounts of Pubco Ordinary Shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, which could have the effect of increasing the volatility in the trading price of Pubco Ordinary Shares or putting significant downward pressure on the price of Pubco Ordinary Shares. Further, sales of Pubco Ordinary Shares upon expiration of the applicable lock-up period could encourage short sales by market participants. Generally, short selling means selling a security, contract or commodity not owned by the seller. The seller is committed to eventually purchase the financial instrument previously sold. Short sales are used to capitalize on an expected decline in the security’s price. Short sales of Pubco Ordinary Shares could have a tendency to depress the price of Pubco Ordinary Shares, which could increase the potential for short sales.

We cannot predict the size of future issuances of Pubco Ordinary Shares or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of Pubco Ordinary Shares will have on the market price of Pubco Ordinary Shares. Sales of substantial amounts of Pubco Ordinary Shares (including those shares issued in connection with the Business Combination), or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices of Pubco Ordinary Shares.

Anti-takeover provisions contained in the Proposed Charter and proposed amended and restated bylaws of Pubco, as well as provisions of Cayman Islands law, could impair a takeover attempt and limit the price investors might be willing to pay in the future for the Pubco Ordinary Shares and could entrench management.

The Proposed Charter will contain provisions that may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals that stockholders may consider to be in their best interests. Pubco is also subject to anti-takeover provisions under Cayman Islands law, which could delay or prevent a change of control. Together these provisions may make more difficult the removal of management and may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for Pubco’s securities.

These provisions include the ability of the board of directors to designate the terms of and issue new series of preferred shares, which may make more difficult the removal of management and may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for Pubco’s securities.

The Proposed Charter will provide, subject to limited exceptions, that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation matters, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with Pubco or its directors, officers, employees or stockholders.

The Proposed Charter requires, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that derivative actions brought in our name, actions against directors, officers and employees for breach of fiduciary duty, actions under the Delaware general corporation law or under the Proposed Charter, or actions asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine may be brought only in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware and, if brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to service of process on such stockholder’s counsel. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the forum provisions in the Proposed Charter. These provisions in the Proposed Charter do not apply to claims arising under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive or concurrent federal and state jurisdiction.

Additionally, unless Pubco otherwise consents in writing, the federal district courts of the United States will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of claims arising under the Securities Act and Exchange Act.

This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring such claims in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or any of our directors, officers, other employees or stockholders, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in the Proposed Charter to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

145

If third parties bring claims against the Company, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.10 per share.

Our placing of funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third-party claims against us. Although we will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses and other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of our public stockholders, such parties may not execute such agreements, or even if they execute such agreements they may not be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, our management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative.

MaloneBailey, LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, and the underwriters of the offering, will not execute agreements with us waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account.

Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. Upon redemption of our public shares, if we are unable to complete our initial business combination within the prescribed timeframe, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with our initial business combination, we will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against us within the 10 years following redemption. Accordingly, the per-share redemption amount received by public stockholders could be less than the $10.10 per share initially held in the Trust Account, due to claims of such creditors. Pursuant to the letter agreement, our sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.10 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.10 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of this offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, we have not asked our sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have we independently verified whether our sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that our sponsor’s only assets are securities of our company. Therefore, we cannot assure you that our sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

JWAC directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of our Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to our public stockholders.

In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.10 per share and (ii) the actual amount per share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.10 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, and our Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment and subject to their fiduciary duties may choose not to do so in any particular instance if, for example, the cost of such legal action is deemed by the independent directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent directors determine that a favorable outcome is not likely. If our independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to our public stockholders may be reduced below $10.10 per share.

146

JWAC’s stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against JWAC to the extent of distributions received by them.

If JWAC is unable to complete the Business Combination or another business combination within the required time period, JWAC will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding 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 JWAC to pay taxes (less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding JWAC public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of JWAC’s remaining shareholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in each case above) to JWAC’s obligations under the Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. JWAC cannot assure you that it will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against JWAC. As a result, JWAC’s stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of its stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of the date of distribution. Accordingly, JWAC cannot assure you that third parties will not seek to recover from its stockholders amounts owed to them by JWAC.

Additionally, if JWAC is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it that is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover all amounts received by JWAC’s stockholders. Because JWAC intends to distribute the proceeds held in the Trust Account to its public stockholders promptly after the expiration of the time period to complete a business combination, this may be viewed or interpreted as giving preference to its public stockholders over any potential creditors with respect to access to or distributions from its assets. Furthermore, JWAC’s board of directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to its creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and JWAC to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. JWAC cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against it for these reasons.

JWAC may be a target of securities class action and derivative lawsuits which could result in substantial costs and may delay or prevent the Business Combination from being completed.

Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against companies that have entered into business combination agreements or similar agreements. Even if the lawsuits are without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. An adverse judgment could result in monetary damages, which could have a negative impact on JWAC’s liquidity and financial condition. Additionally, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting consummation of the Business Combination, then that injunction may delay or prevent it from being completed. Currently, JWAC is not aware of any securities class action lawsuits or derivative lawsuits being filed in connection with the Business Combination.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect JWAC’s and Chijet’s ability to consummate the Business Combination.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in governmental authorities worldwide implementing numerous measures to contain the virus, including travel restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and business limitations and shutdowns. More generally, the pandemic raises the possibility of an extended global economic downturn and has caused volatility in financial markets. The pandemic may also amplify many of the other risks described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

JWAC and Chijet may be unable to complete the Business Combination if continued concerns relating to COVID-19 restrict travel and limit the ability to have meetings with potential investors or the Chijet personnel. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts JWAC’s and Chijet’s ability to consummate the Business Combination will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. If the disruptions posed by COVID-19 or other matters of global concern continue for an extended period of time, JWAC’s and Chijet’s ability to consummate the Business Combination may be materially adversely affected.

147

Risks Related to Ownership of Pubco Ordinary Shares

Concentration of ownership among Chijet’s existing executive officers, directors and their affiliates may prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions.

Upon completion of the Business Combination, assuming there are no redemptions by the public stockholders, Chijet Inc. will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, approximately 85.9% of outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares and Chijet’s executive officers, directors and their affiliates as a group will beneficially own approximately 68.4% of outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares. As a result, these stockholders will be able to exercise a significant level of control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, any amendment of Pubco’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and approval of significant corporate transactions. This control could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in management and will make the approval of certain transactions difficult or impossible without the support of these stockholders.

The Company does not expect to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

After the completion of the Business Combination, the Company does not anticipate declaring any cash dividends to holders of its common stock in the foreseeable future. Consequently, investors may need to rely on sales of their shares after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investment.

There can be no assurance that Pubco Ordinary Shares will be approved for listing on Nasdaq upon the Closing, or if approved, that Pubco will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq.

The JWAC Common Stock, the JWAC Rights, and JWAC’s publicly traded units are currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In connection with the Closing, we intend to apply to list the Pubco Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market upon the Closing under the symbol “CJET”. As part of the application process, we are required to provide evidence that we are able to meet the initial listing requirements of Nasdaq, which are more rigorous than Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements and include, among other things, a requirement that Pubco have 300 or more unrestricted round lot holders, at least 150 of which hold unrestricted shares with a minimum value of $2,500, and meet a minimum public float Pubco’s ability to meet these listing requirements may depend, in part, on the number of shares of JWAC Common Stock that are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, as the number of redemptions may impact whether Pubco has at least 300 unrestricted round lot holders upon the Closing, among other initial listing requirements. Pubco’s application has not yet been approved, and may not be approved if we are unable to provide evidence satisfactory to Nasdaq that Pubco will meet these listing requirements.

If the Pubco Ordinary Shares is not approved for listing on Nasdaq or, after the Closing, Nasdaq delists Pubco’s shares from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the listing standards, Pubco and its stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences including:

	●	a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

	●	reduced liquidity for our securities;

	●	a determination that Pubco Ordinary Shares is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in Pubco Ordinary Shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;

	●	a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

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

Following the Business Combination, Pubco’s business and stock price may suffer as a result of its lack of public company operating experience and if securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about Pubco, its business, or its market, or if they change their recommendations regarding Pubco Ordinary Shares in an adverse manner, the price and trading volume of Pubco Ordinary Shares could decline.

Prior to the completion of the Business Combination, Chijet has been a privately-held company. Chijet’s lack of public company operating experience may make it difficult to forecast and evaluate its future prospects. If Pubco is unable to execute its business strategy, either as a result of its inability to manage effectively its business in a public company environment or for any other reason, Pubco’s business, prospects, financial condition and operating results may be harmed.

The trading market for Pubco Ordinary Shares will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about Pubco, its business, its market, or its competitors. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on Pubco. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of Pubco, its stock price and trading volume would likely be negatively impacted. If any of the analysts who may cover Pubco changes its recommendation regarding Pubco’s stock in an adverse manner, or provides more favorable relative recommendations about its competitors, the price of Pubco Ordinary Shares would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover Pubco were to cease coverage of Pubco or fail to regularly publish reports on it, Pubco could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause Pubco’s stock price or trading volume to decline.

148

A market for Pubco’s securities may not develop, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of Pubco’s securities.

Following the Business Combination, the price of Pubco’s securities may fluctuate significantly due to the market’s reaction to the Business Combination, including a significant number of redemptions by JWAC’s public stockholders, and general market and economic conditions. An active trading market for Pubco’s securities following the Business Combination may never develop or, if developed, may not be sustained. In addition, the price of Pubco’s securities after the Business Combination could vary due to general economic conditions and forecasts, its general business condition and the release of its financial reports. You may be unable to sell your securities unless a market can be established or sustained.

Pubco’s issuance of additional capital stock in connection with financings, acquisitions, investments, stock incentive plans or otherwise will dilute all other stockholders.

Pubco expects to issue additional capital stock in the future that will result in dilution to all other stockholders. Pubco expects to grant equity awards to employees, directors, and consultants under its stock incentive plans. Pubco expects to raise capital through equity financings in the future. As part of its business strategy, Pubco may acquire or make investments in complementary companies, products, or technologies and issue equity securities to pay for any such acquisition or investment. Any such issuances of additional capital stock may cause stockholders to experience significant dilution of their ownership interests and the per share value of Pubco Ordinary Shares to decline.

Risks Relating to Redemption

The ability to execute JWAC’s strategic plan could be negatively impacted to the extent a significant number of stockholders choose to redeem their shares in connection with the Business Combination.

In the event the aggregate cash consideration JWAC would be required to pay for all of its public shares that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement exceeds the aggregate amount of cash available to JWAC, JWAC may be required to increase the financial leverage JWAC’s business would have to support. This may negatively impact JWAC’s ability to execute on its own future strategic plan.

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

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

If JWAC stockholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement/ prospectus, they will not be entitled to redeem their shares of JWAC Common Stock for a pro rata portion of the funds held in JWAC’s Trust Account.

Holders of JWAC Common Stock are required to submit a request in writing and deliver their stock (either physically or electronically) to our transfer agent at least two business days prior to the special meeting. Stockholders electing to redeem their shares will receive their pro rata portion of the Trust Account less taxes payable, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Business Combination. See the section entitled “Special Meeting of JWAC Stockholders – Redemption Rights” for additional information on how to exercise your redemption rights. Failure to comply with the redemption procedures could result in the inability to redeem your JWAC Common Stock.

Risks Related to JWAC and the Business Combination

The Sponsor and JWAC’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase shares of JWAC Common Stock in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market prior to the completion of the Business Combination, although they are under no obligation to do so. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such stockholder, although still the record holder of such shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor and JWAC’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from JWAC stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such

selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such purchases could be to vote such shares in favor of the Business Combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the Business Combination, or to satisfy the closing condition in the Business Combination Agreement that requires JWAC to have a minimum amount of cash at the Closing. This may result in the completion of the Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible.

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public float of JWAC Common Stock and the number of beneficial holders of JWAC’s securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult for Pubco to obtain the quotation, listing or trading of its securities on a national securities exchange.

If a stockholder or a “group” of stockholders are deemed to hold in excess of 15% of JWAC Common Stock, such stockholder or group will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 15% of JWAC Common Stock.

The JWAC Certificate of Incorporation provides that a stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in the JWAC IPO, which JWAC refers to as the “Excess Shares.” However, JWAC would not be restricting its stockholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against its business combination. The inability of a stockholder to redeem the Excess Shares will reduce its influence over JWAC ability to complete its business combination and such stockholder could suffer a material loss on its investment in JWAC if it sells Excess Shares in open market transactions. Additionally, such stockholder will not receive redemption distributions with respect to the Excess Shares if JWAC completes its business combination. And as a result, such stockholder will continue to hold that number of shares exceeding 15% and, in order to dispose of such shares, would be required to sell its stock in open market transactions, potentially at a loss.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to the JWAC stockholders, JWAC files a voluntary bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against JWAC that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of JWAC’s stockholders and the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by JWAC’s stockholders in connection with JWAC’s liquidation may be reduced.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to the JWAC stockholders, JWAC files a voluntary bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against JWAC that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in JWAC’s bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of JWAC’s stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by JWAC’s stockholders in connection with JWAC’s liquidation may be reduced.

150

JWAC’s stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against JWAC to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.

Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. The pro rata portion of the Trust Account distributed to JWAC stockholders upon the redemption of JWAC Common Stock in the event JWAC does not complete its initial business combination by March 9, 2023, or such later date as may be extended by means of a further contribution to the Trust Account in accordance with the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation or amendment to such certificate, or such later date that may be approved by JWAC’s stockholders, may be considered a liquidation distribution under Delaware law. If a corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. However, it is JWAC’s intention to redeem its JWAC Common Stock as soon as reasonably possible following March 9, 2023, or such later date as may be extended by means of a further contribution to the Trust Account in accordance with the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation or amendment to such certificate, or such later date that may be approved by JWAC’s stockholders, in the event JWAC does not complete its business combination and, therefore, JWAC does not intend to comply with those procedures.

Because JWAC will not be complying with Section 280, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires JWAC to adopt a plan, based on facts known to JWAC at such time that will provide for its payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against JWAC within the 10 years following its dissolution. However, because JWAC is a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and JWAC ‘s operations are limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from JWAC’s vendors (such as lawyers, investment bankers, etc.) or prospective target businesses. If JWAC’s plan of distribution complies with Section 281(b) of the DGCL, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would likely be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. JWAC cannot assure you that it will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against it. As such, JWAC’s stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of JWAC’s stockholders may extend beyond the third anniversary of such date. Furthermore, if the pro rata portion of the Trust Account distributed to the JWAC stockholders upon the redemption of the JWAC Common Stock in the event JWAC does not complete its initial business combination by March 9, 2023, or such later date as may be extended by means of a further contribution to the Trust Account in accordance with the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation or amendment to such certificate, is not considered a liquidation distribution under Delaware law and such redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful, then pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, the statute of limitations for claims of creditors could then be six years after the unlawful redemption distribution, instead of three years, as in the case of a liquidation distribution.

151

Risks Related to the Business Combination and Integration of Businesses

While JWAC and Chijet work to complete the Business Combination, management’s focus and resources may be diverted from operational matters and other strategic opportunities.

Successful completion of the Business Combination may place a significant burden on management and other internal resources. The diversion of management’s attention and any difficulties encountered in the transition process could harm the new Combined Company’s business financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In addition, uncertainty about the effect of the Business Combination on Chijet’s systems, employees, customers, partners, and other third parties, including regulators, may have an adverse effect on the new Combined Company. These uncertainties may impair the new Combined Company’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel for a period of time after the completion of the Business Combination.

Chijet’s management has no or limited experience operating a public company.

Chijet’s executive officers and directors have no or limited experience in the management of a publicly traded company. Chijet’s management team may not successfully or effectively manage its transition to a public company following the Business Combination that will be subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under federal securities laws. Their limited experience in dealing with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies could be a significant disadvantage in that it is likely that an increasing amount of their time may be devoted to these activities which will result in less time being devoted to the management and growth of the Combined Company. It is possible that the Combined Company will be required to expand its employee base and hire additional employees to support its operations as a public company which will increase its operating costs in future periods.

Chijet’s and JWAC’s operations may be restricted during the pendency of the Business

Combination pursuant to terms of the Business Combination Agreement.

Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, Chijet is subject to customary interim operating covenants relating to carrying on its business in the ordinary course of business and is also subject to customary restrictions on actions that may be taken during such period without JWAC’s consent. As a result, Chijet may be unable, during the pendency of the Business Combination, to make certain acquisitions and capital expenditures, borrow money and otherwise pursue other actions, even if such actions would prove beneficial.

Uncertainty about the effect of the Business Combination may affect our ability to retain key employees and may materially impact the management, strategy and results of our operation as a Combined Company.

Uncertainty about the effect of the Business Combination on Chijet’s business, employees, customers, third parties with whom Chijet has relationships, and other third parties, including regulators, may have an adverse effect on the Combined Company. These uncertainties may impair the Combined Company’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel for a period of time after the Business Combination. If key employees depart because of issues related to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with the new Combined Company, our business could be harmed.

The Combined Company may incur successor liabilities due to conduct arising prior to the completion of the

Business Combination.

The new Combined Company may be subject to certain liabilities of JWAC and Chijet. JWAC and Chijet at times may each become subject to litigation claims in the operation of its business, including, but not limited to, with respect to employee matters, intellectual property infringement matters and contract matters. Any litigation may be expensive and time-consuming and could divert management’s attention from the Combined Company’s business and negatively affect its operating results or financial condition. The outcome of any litigation cannot be guaranteed, and adverse outcomes can affect JWAC, Chijet and the new Combined Company negatively.

SPECIAL MEETING OF JWAC STOCKHOLDERS

General

Date, Time and Place

The Special Meeting will virtually be held at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on , 2023, or at such other time, on such other date and at such other place to which the meeting may be adjourned or postponed.

Voting Power; Record Date

You will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the Special Meeting if you owned shares of JWAC Common Stock as of the close of business on , 2023, which is the Record Date for the Special Meeting. You are entitled to one vote for each share of JWAC Common Stock that you owned as of the close of business on the Record Date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there were 18,155,000 shares of JWAC Common Stock issued and outstanding, consisting of 13,800,000 shares originally sold as part of units in the JWAC IPO, 629,000 shares originally sold as part of units to the Sponsor and underwriter representative in a Private Placement that occurred simultaneously with the consummation of the JWAC IPO and 3,450,000 founder shares that were issued to the Sponsor prior to the JWAC IPO (as well as 276,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock issued to I-Bankers as underwriter representative in the JWAC IPO). JWAC does not expect to issue any shares of common stock on or before the Record Date.

Vote of the Sponsor, Directors and Officers

In connection with the JWAC IPO, JWAC entered into agreements with each of its Sponsor, directors and officers pursuant to which each agreed to vote any shares of common stock owned by it in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. These agreements apply to the Sponsor as it relates to the founder shares and any placement shares and the requirement to vote such shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. Our Sponsor with our directors and officers currently own 493,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock and 3,450,000 shares of our Class B Common Stock, representing 21.7 % of the 18,155,000 issued and outstanding shares of JWAC Common Stock. Our Sponsor, JWAC Initial Stockholders, and our directors and officers have agreed to vote all of their founder shares and all of their shares of Class A Common Stock (including, but not limited to, shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the placement units) in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. As a result, assuming I-Bankers votes its representative shares in favor of the applicable proposal, we may need as few as 183,751, or approximately 1.33%, of the 18,155,000 of our public shares, to be voted in favor of the Advisory Charter Amendments Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, and as few as 4,722,501, or approximately 34.22% of our 18,155,000 public shares, to be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the Charter Amendments Proposal, in order to have our Business Combination approved.

Registering for the Special Meeting

Pre-registration for virtual attendance at the Special Meeting is recommended but is not required in order to attend through the following website: https://www.cstproxy.com/[ ].

153

	●	If your shares are registered in your name with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company and you wish to attend the online-only Special Meeting, go to https://www.cstproxy.com/[ ], enter the 12-digit control number included on your proxy card or notice of the meeting and click on the “Click here to preregister for the online meeting” link at the top of the page. Just prior to the start of the meeting you will need to log back into the meeting site using your control number. Pre-registration is recommended but is not required in order to attend.

	●	Beneficial stockholders (those holding shares through a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other holder of record) who wish to attend the virtual meeting must obtain a legal proxy by contacting their account representative at the bank, broker, or other nominee that holds their shares and e-mail a copy (a legible photograph is sufficient) of their legal proxy to proxy@continentalstock.com. Beneficial stockholders who e-mail a valid legal proxy will be issued a 12-digit meeting control number that will allow them to register to attend and participate in the special meeting. After contacting American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a beneficial holder will receive an e-mail prior to the meeting with a link and instructions for entering the virtual meeting. Beneficial stockholders should contact American Stock Transfer & Trust Company at least five (5) business days prior to the meeting date in order to ensure access.

Quorum and Required Vote for Proposals

Approval of the Business Combination Proposal and Charter Amendments Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of JWAC Common Stock as of the Record Date. Accordingly, a JWAC stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting or an abstention will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal and Charter Amendments Proposal.

The approval of the remaining Proposals (consisting of the Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal) requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting. Accordingly, a JWAC stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting or the failure of a JWAC stockholder who holds his or her shares in “street name” through a broker or other nominee to give voting instructions to such broker or other nominee (a “broker non-vote”) will result in that stockholder’s shares not being counted towards the number of shares of JWAC Common Stock required to validly establish a quorum, but if a valid quorum is otherwise established, it will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal. Abstentions of persons appearing at the Special Meeting likewise will also have no effect on the outcome of these proposals.

The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement will be consummated only if the Condition Precedent Proposals (consisting of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendments Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, and the Incentive Plan Proposal) are approved at the Special Meeting. The Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals and the Adjournment Proposal are not Condition Precedent Proposals for consummation of the Business Combination, and the Adjournment Proposal does not require the approval of any other proposal to be effective.

154

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, if you hold your stock in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee, that entity cannot vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee. We believe that all the proposals presented to our stockholders will be considered non-discretionary, and therefore your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction. If you do not provide instructions with your proxy, your bank, broker or other nominee may deliver a proxy card expressly indicating that it is NOT voting your shares; this indication that a bank, broker or nominee is not voting your shares is referred to as a “broker non-vote.” Broker non-votes will not be counted as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. Broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal and Charter Amendments Proposal. At a meeting with a quorum, broker non-votes will have no effect on the remaining Proposals.

Abstentions will be considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, but will not be counted for or against any particular proposal. An abstention will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal and the Charter Amendments Proposal but will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the remaining Proposals (consisting of the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal).

Recommendation of JWAC’s Board

The Board has unanimously determined that each of the proposals is fair to and in the best interests of JWAC and its stockholders, and has unanimously approved such proposals. The Board unanimously recommends that stockholders:

	●	vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal;
	●	vote “FOR” the Charter Amendments Proposal;
	●	vote “FOR” the Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals;
	●	vote “FOR” the Nasdaq Proposal;
	●	vote “FOR” the Incentive Plan Proposal; and
	●	vote “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, if it is presented to the meeting.

When you consider the recommendation of JWAC’s Board in favor of approval of the Proposals, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor, members of JWAC’s Board and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to (or which may conflict with) your interests as a stockholder. These interests include, among other things:

●

155

	●	Our Sponsor paid an aggregate of $50,000 for the founder shares, or approximately $0.017 per founder share. As a result, our Sponsor, its affiliates and our management team and advisors could make a substantial profit if the Business Combination is consummated. On the other hand, if the Business Combination is not consummated, such founder shares will be worthless.

	●	Our Sponsor has agreed to purchase an aggregate of 425,000 units (or 470,000 units if the over-allotment option is exercised in full) at a price of $10.00 per unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $4,250,000 (or 4,700,000 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full), and I-Bankers has agreed to purchase an aggregate of 90,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $900,000, that will also be worthless if the Business Combination is not consummated.

	●	Within 10 days following the Business Combination, if it is approved and consummated, the Company will issue to our officers and directors an aggregate of 300,000 shares of JWAC Common Stock, with the same lock-up restrictions and registration rights as the founder shares;

	●	Our Sponsor has agreed to waive its redemption rights with respect to any founder shares, any private placement shares and any public shares held in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination. Additionally, our Sponsor has agreed to waive its redemption rights with respect to any founder shares or private placement shares held by it if we fail to consummate the Business Combination within the required time period. If we do not complete our initial business combination within such applicable time period, the proceeds of the sale of the private placement units held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of our public shares, and the private placement rights (and the underlying securities) will expire worthless. Subject to certain limited exceptions, our sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell 50% of its founder shares until the earlier of (i) six months after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination or (ii) the date on which the closing price of our shares of common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock sub-divisions, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after our initial business combination and the remaining 50% of the founder shares may not be transferred, assigned or sold until six months after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to our initial business combination, we consummate a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. With certain limited exceptions, the private units will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination.

Voting Your Shares

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

	●	You Can Vote By Signing and Returning the Enclosed Proxy Card. If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares will be voted as recommended by JWAC’s Board “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal (if presented). Votes received after a matter has been voted upon at the Special Meeting will not be counted.

	●	You Can Attend the Special Meeting and Vote in Person. When you arrive, you will receive a ballot that you may use to cast your vote.

156

If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. If you wish to attend the meeting and vote in person and your shares are held in “street name,” you must obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or nominee. That is the only way JWAC can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares.

Revoking Your Proxy

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

	●	you may send another proxy card with a later date;

	●	you may notify JWAC’s secretary in writing before the Special Meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

	●	you may virtually attend the Special Meeting, revoke your proxy, and vote in person (by virtual attendance) as described above.

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

Who Can Answer Your Questions About Voting Your Shares

If you are a stockholder and have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your JWAC Common Stock, you may call [Proxy Solicitor], JWAC’s proxy solicitor, at [(___) ____-____] or by the website at [____].

No Additional Matters May Be Presented at the Special Meeting

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

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation, any holders of public shares may demand that such shares be redeemed in exchange for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account, less taxes payable and up to $50,000 for dissolution expenses, calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. If demand is properly made and the Business Combination is consummated, these shares, immediately prior to the Business Combination, will cease to be outstanding and will represent only the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account which holds the proceeds of the JWAC IPO (calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to it to pay the Company’s taxes payable and up to $50,000 of any remaining interest for dissolution expenses). For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the Trust Account of $140 million on September 30, 2022, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.157 (net of taxes payable). JWAC anticipates the per share redemption price will be approximately $10.157 (net of taxes payable) at the closing of the Business Combination, which is anticipated to occur during the first half of 2023.

In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must:

●

prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on , 2023 (two (2) business days before the Special Meeting), tender your shares physically or electronically and submit a request in writing that we redeem your public shares for cash to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, JWAC’s transfer agent, at the following address:

American Stock Transfer & Trust Company

One State Street Plaza, 30th Floor

New York, New York 10004

Attn: [ ]

E-mail: [ ]

157

●

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

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

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

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

If the Business Combination is not approved and JWAC does not consummate an initial business combination by March 9, 2023 (or such later date as may be extended by means of a further contribution to the Trust Account in accordance with the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation or amendment to such certificate) JWAC will be required to dissolve and liquidate its Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public stockholders.

JWAC Appraisal Rights

Under the DGCL, holders of JWAC Common Stock and JWAC Rights do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination.

Proxy Solicitation

JWAC is soliciting proxies on behalf of its Board. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. JWAC will file with the SEC all scripts and other electronic communications as proxy soliciting materials.

JWAC will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Special Meeting. JWAC has engaged [Proxy Solicitor] to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Special Meeting. JWAC has agreed to pay [Proxy Solicitor] a fee of $[ ], plus disbursements. JWAC will reimburse [Proxy Solicitor] for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify [Proxy Solicitor] and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses.

JWAC will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of shares of JWAC Common Stock for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of JWAC Common Stock and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. JWAC’s directors and officers may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies.

158

THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL

We are asking our stockholders to approve the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination. Our stockholders should carefully read this proxy statement/ prospectus in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Business Combination Agreement, which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. You are urged to read the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety before voting on this proposal.

We may consummate the Business Combination only if it is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock that are voted at the Special Meeting.

Business Combination Agreement

This section describes the material provisions of the Business Combination Agreement but does not purport to describe all of the terms thereof. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Business Combination Agreement and the related agreements. JWAC’s stockholders and other interested parties are urged to read such agreement in its entirety. Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used below are defined in the Business Combination Agreement.

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

General Description of the Business Combination Agreement

On October 25, 2022, JWAC entered into the Business Combination Agreement by and among JWAC, Pubco, Merger Sub, the Sellers and Chijet. The Business Combination Agreement provides for the combination of JWAC and Chijet under Pubco, a new holding company, as its direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries. Pursuant to the Business Combination and Business Combination Agreement (a) Pubco will acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital shares of Chijet from the Sellers in exchange for ordinary shares of Pubco, and any shares Chijet holds in Pubco shall be surrendered for no consideration, such that Chijet becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco and the Sellers become shareholders of Pubco, which we refer to as the Share Exchange; and immediately thereafter (b) Merger Sub will merge with and into JWAC, with JWAC continuing as the surviving entity and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco. For more information about the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, please see the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal—Business Combination Agreement.” A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Transaction Consideration

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, in connection with the Effective Time of the Business Combination:

(i)	each of the outstanding shares of JWAC Common Stock will be exchanged for the right to receive one Pubco Ordinary Share (and following such exchange the share of JWAC Common Stock will be cancelled),

(ii)	each outstanding share of JWAC’s Class B Common Stock, according to JWAC’s certificate of incorporation, will be converted into one share of JWAC Common Stock, immediately prior to the Effective Time, and exchanged for a Pubco Ordinary Share in accordance with subsection (i) above; and

159

(iii)	the registered holder of JWAC Rights will be issued the number of full shares of JWAC Common Stock to which such holder of JWAC Rights is eligible, and which shall be exchanged for the equivalent number of Pubco Ordinary Shares, in accordance with subsection (i) above; and

(iv)	the Sellers will receive the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares in the Share Exchange that shall have an aggregate value equal to One Billion Six Hundred Million Dollars ($1,600,000,000), subject to certain Sellers having an earnout (the “Earnout”), which would adjust downwards the consideration they receive by up to Six Hundred Seventy Four Million ($674 million) based on certain post-Closing financial performance and stock price metrics of Pubco, described below, and all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.

In connection with the Earnout, the holders of JWAC Common Stock shall receive one CVR for each share of JWAC Common Stock exchanged as described above, to compensate the holders of JWAC Common Stock in the event the Earnout criteria is not met by the Sellers which would result in an adjustment to the consideration provided to Sellers, except that holders of privately placed JWAC Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (including the Sponsor, its transferees and I-Bankers) have waived their rights to receive a CVR relating to those privately placed shares.

According to the terms of the Representative Warrant which was placed with the Representative in connection with JWAC’s initial public offering, the Representative Warrant will be replaced with an equivalent warrant exercisable into Pubco Ordinary Shares. According to the terms of GT Warrant granted by Baoya to Greentree, GT Warrant will be replaced with an equivalent warrant exercisable into Pubco Ordinary Shares.

Earnout Provisions

The issuance of an amount of Pubco Ordinary Shares to certain Chijet Holders who are earnout participants, and who we refer to as the Earnout Participants, is subject to an Earnout equal in value to Six Hundred and Seventy Four Million U.S. Dollars ($674,000,000), with each of such shares being valued at the redemption price (such Pubco ordinary shares, subject to equitable adjustment for share splits, share dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like after the Closing, including to account for any equity securities into which such shares are exchanged or converted, and together with the earnings thereof), and which we refer to as the Earnout Shares. The Earnout Shares shall be issued and registered by Pubco in the name of the Earnout Participants, but shall be unvested and subject to potential surrender and cancellation as provided in the Business Combination Agreement. Additionally, until the Earnout Shares have become vested, (i) all earnings, such as dividends or distributions, related to such Earnout Shares shall be held in a segregated escrow account (the “Escrow Account”), and (ii) the Earnout Participants will not be permitted to sell, assign, convey, pledge, hypothecate, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Earnout Shares (or any rights to the earnings thereon) (the “Earnout Transfer Restrictions”). Otherwise, the Earnout Shares shall have the same rights as the Pubco Ordinary Shares. Each of the Earnout Participants agrees that the Earnout Shares shall vest and no longer be subject to potential cancellation and become free of the Earnout Transfer Restrictions, and that each of the Earnout Participants shall have the contingent right to receive a pro rata portion of the earnings (such pro rata allocation based on the number of Purchased Shares owned by such Earnout Participant, divided by the total number of Purchased Shares owned by all Earnout Participants). The Earnout Shares will vest based on either meeting the criteria relating to (i) consolidated gross revenues or (ii) closing price of Pubco Ordinary Shares, and will vest in three tranches consisting of up to 30% for 2023, 30% for 2024 and any remaining unvested amount for 2025 (in each case without giving effect to any prior surrenders of Earnout Shares and together with any Earnings thereon (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement)), as described as follows:

(a)

The first tranche shall (i) vest proportionately based on the consolidated gross revenues of Pubco and the Target Companies (including the period prior to Closing) as set forth in Pubco’s audited annual financial statements included in Form 20-F or 10-K filed with the SEC for the calendar year ended December 31, 2023 (as adjusted for a fixed 6.5-to-1 Chinese yuan renminbi to U.S. dollar exchange rate) in excess of $528,000,000, up to a maximum of 100% of the first tranche at $801,000,000 in consolidated gross revenues, or alternatively (ii) vest for 100% of the first tranche if the Pubco Ordinary Shares on the applicable Trading Market is at least $13.00 per share (as equitably adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, share consolidations, subdivisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for at least twenty (20) out of thirty (30) Trading Days, through and including the thirtieth (30^th) Trading Day after the date on which Pubco files its annual report with the SEC on Form 20-F or 10-K (such trading criteria being collectively the “Trading Criteria”), for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

160

(b)	The second tranche will likewise either (i) vest proportionately based on the consolidated gross revenues of Pubco and the Target Companies (including the period prior to Closing) as set forth in Pubco’s audited annual financial statements included in Form 20-F or 10-K filed with the SEC for the calendar year ended December 31, 2024 (as adjusted for a fixed 6.5-to-1 Chinese yuan renminbi to U.S. dollar exchange rate) in excess of $870,000,000, up to a maximum of 100% of the second tranche at $2,206,000 in consolidated gross revenues, or alternatively (ii) vest for 100% of the second tranche based on meeting the Trading Criteria during the applicable period for the year ended December 31, 2024.

(c)	Any remaining Earnout Shares not vested in the first or second tranches are eligible either to (i) vest proportionately based on the consolidated gross revenues of Pubco and the Target Companies (including the period prior to Closing) as set forth in Pubco’s audited annual financial statements included in Form 20-F or 10-K filed with the SEC for the calendar year ended December 31, 2025 (as adjusted for a fixed 6.5-to-1 Chinese yuan renminbi to U.S. dollar exchange rate) in excess of $1,616,000,000, up to a maximum of 100% of the final tranche at $3,215,000,000 in consolidated gross revenues, or alternatively (ii) vest for 100% of the final tranche based on meeting the Trading Criteria during the applicable period for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The Transaction Consideration will be paid in the form of a number Pubco Ordinary Shares (the “Consideration Shares”), valued at the applicable redemption price (the “Closing Share Price”) and in the form of CVRs to those receiving CVRs under the Business Combination Agreement.

CVRs

In connection with the Earnout, the holders of JWAC Common Stock that do not redeem their shares in connection with the Business Combination shall additionally receive a contingent value rights, or CVR, for each share of JWAC Common Stock exchanged as described above, to compensate the holders of JWAC Common Stock in the event the Earnout criteria is not met by the Sellers, which would result in an adjustment to the consideration provided to Sellers, except that holders of privately placed JWAC Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (including the Sponsor, its transferees and I-Bankers Securities, Inc., which served as underwriter in our initial public offering) have waived their rights to receive a CVR relating to those privately placed shares.

166

Background of the Business Combination

JWAC is a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on September 14, 2021, for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more target businesses. Promptly following its initial public offering that closed on December 9, 2021. Prior to the consummation of its initial public offering, neither JWAC, nor anyone on its behalf, contacted any target business or had any substantive discussions, formal or otherwise, with respect to a transaction with JWAC. JWAC expended extensive efforts into identifying a prospective target business. JWAC’s management team, working together with its professional service providers, sought out potential target businesses through their network of relationships across different industries. JWAC also responded to inquiries from investment bankers and other professional service providers who represented companies engaged in a sale or financing process that were potential target businesses.

The following is not intended to be a list of all opportunities initially evaluated or explored or discussions held by JWAC, but rather sets forth the significant discussions and steps that JWAC took to reaching the Business Combination Agreement with ChiJet.

During the search process, JWAC had discussions with more than 20 potential targets and/or their representatives, in a wide range of industries including biotech, consumer products, electric transportation, retail and media. For those targets that were deemed to warrant significant interest, the JWAC board and support team performed further tasks, including, on a case-by-case basis, management presentations, management discussions, experience and readiness discussions and/or assessments, and assessments of financial condition and potential growth prospects for their business and industry. JWAC then discussed preliminary parameters for proposals to those targets that it determined were strong candidates for a business combination. In most cases, if a potential target was deemed compelling enough for JWAC to pursue a potential business combination with, an initial non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) to pursue a proposed business combination would be prepared. Approximately, 15 non-disclosure agreements (“NDAs”) and 5 LOIs were executed.

In January 2022, JWAC was introduced to Chijet by Weiheng Cai, President of R-Opus Inc. who is a member of JWAC’s sponsor, Jupiter Wellness Acqusition Sponsor, LLC. On January 15, 2022, JWAC’s board of directors held a call with members of Chijet to do a presentation on Chijet’s business. On January28, 2022, JWAC signed an LOI with Chijet. JWAC continued to pursue other deals including taking significant steps in pursuing a business combination with an alcohol and spirits home delivery business in Europe.

After the LOI exclusivity period expired, Chijet also began to pursue transactions with other potential SPAC acquirers, as well as exploring the possibility of initiating an initial public offering on its own. In fact, on July 12, 2022 Chijet signed a business combination agreement with Deep Medicine Acquisition Corporation (“DMAQ”). One of the members of the DMAQ sponsor is also a member of JWAC’s sponsor. The business combination agreement with DMAQ provided that the transaction value was $2.1 billion.

Prior to signing the business combination agreement with Chijet, DMAQ performed extensive due diligence on the business of Chijet. They hired AlixPartners, a consulting firm to perform an evaluation of Chijet’s business. AlixPartners has an extensive knowledge and expertise in the automotive industry. The business combination agreement provided that DMAQ had the right to terminate the business combination agreement for due diligence reasons. During the due diligence process, the consulting firm raised certain concerns that the $2.1 billion purchase price contained assumptions that reflected a flat value that they did not believe Chijet would achieve and also used a non-trading company discount to reflect that Chijet was a private company. The parties worked to negotiate a lower base price with the difference to be made up with an earnout. Ultimately, on September 26, 2022, DMAQ and Chijet terminated the business combination agreement.

During the course of the DMAQ-Chijet transaction, JWAC’s CEO, Brian John and Robert C. Cottone, President of Greentree Financial Group, Inc. discussed the transaction and the continued desire of Chijet to get listed in the United States. Mr. John indicated that JWAC still had an interest in the transaction but that the JWAC board still hoped to complete a business combination with a biotech company. Ultimately, JWAC’s board determined that it would not be able to consummate a transaction with a biotech company at a valuation which would be favorable and achievable based on the current SPAC market. In addition, JWAC engaged in extensive discussions and took steps towards entering into a business combination with a European company in the alcohol delivery business. JWAC ceased negotiations with the alcohol delivery business in September when it became apparent that they were having difficulty finishing their audit and for other concerns. When the DMAQ-Chijet agreement was terminated on September 26, 2022, Mr. John and Mr. Cottone discussed JWAC pursuing the Chijet transaction at such time.

167

On September 28, 2022, Mr. John arranged a call with JWAC’s Board to discuss pursuing a business combination with Chijet and invited Mr. Cottone to discuss the history of the transaction. During the call, Mr. Cottone discussed the issues that led it to reduce the price, down from the $2.1 billion value originally agreed to, to a $926.0 million valuation, with an earnout bringing the total value to the $2.1 billion. JWAC’s board led by Hans Haywood, also extensively discussed the due diligence conducted by DMAQ and the report prepared by the consulting firm. JWAC’s board determined to discuss assumptions and conclusions with the people at the consulting firm. In the beginning of October 2022, Mr. John held a call with the Managing Director of the consulting firm to discuss JWAC engaging them to continue the work on behalf of JWAC. Since the vast portion of the work was already completed, it was agreed that the scope of the engagement would be to understand the previously prepared report and to be available to discuss the report with JWAC’s Board of Directors, the parties agreed on a fee of $125,000 for the work which JWAC paid to AlixPartners in October 2022.

JWAC’s Board also determined that it should obtain a fairness opinion for the transaction. On September 28, 2022 and on September 29, 2022, Mr. John contacted Stanton Park to discuss preparing a fairness opinion. They agreed on a price of $25,000 and JWAC engaged Stanton Park on September 30, 2022 to prepare the fairness opinion. Stanton Park was already familiar with Chijet because it had performed valuation services for DMAQ in connection with the terminated DMAQ-Chijet business combination. Jon Taylor, the Managing partner at Stanton Park was the representative at Stanton Park. Mr. John held subsequent conversations with Mr. Taylor on October 4 and 5, 2022 as well as frequent subsequent conversations between that time and the date of delivery of the fairness opinion. On October 24, 2022, Stanton Park delivered their opinion to JWAC.

On October 17, 2022, certain members of the Board of JWAC held a call with AlixPartners to discuss their diligence findings. Hans Haywood led the call for JWAC. Steven Dyer, Managing Partner, participated for AlixPartners. The parties had an extensive conversation where Mr. Dyer went through their findings in their due diligence and the assumptions that they made in their analysis. Mr. Cottone also participated in the discussions. Subsequent to the call, Mr. John had discussions with individual members of the Board to discuss the possible transaction. Mr. John also discussed the proposed price and deal structure and how it reflected the price that DMAQ and Chijet had ultimately agreed to in principal prior to the termination of the deal. Mr. Heyworth discussed some of his concerns in the AlixPartners due diligence report and requested that JWAC have another call with AlixPartners.

On October 24, 2022, JWAC held another diligence call with AlixPartners. The individual at AlixPartners was Marc Brown who had initially worked on the AlixPartners report prepared for DMAQ. He primarily discussed the assumptions used in preparing the report for DMAQ. AlixPartners was not engaged by JWAC to prepare a valuation or report. Mr. John followed up with Mr. Haywood and it was determined that they needed a further call with the Board and Mr. Dyer to go over certain follow up questions that Mr. Haywood had with respect to the due diligence report. On October 25, 2022, members of JWAC’s board had an additional conversation with Mr. Dyer who addressed the specific question that Mr. Haywood wanted additional information on. On October 25, 2022, JWAC’s board of directors held a telephonic meeting and approved the Business Combination Agreement.

While JWAC was completing its due diligence, JWAC’s counsel was working on the Business Combination Agreement with Chijet and its counsel. The Business Combination Agreement was based on the last versions of the business combination agreement between DMAQ and Chijet with earnout and structure reflecting a reduced valuation and was revised to formulate the earnout and make certain other changes. On October 25, 2022, JWAC and Chijet signed the Business Combination Agreement. On October 26, 2022, JWAC released a press release reporting that it had entered into the Business Combination Agreement and filed a corresponding Current Report on Form 8-K. On October 31, 2022, JWAC released an additional Current Report on Form 8-K filing the Business Combination Agreement and related agreements executed on October 25, 2022.

The parties have continued and expect to continue regular discussions regarding the execution and timing of the Business Combination and to take actions and exercise their respective rights under the Business Combination Agreement to facilitate the completion of the Business Combination.

JWAC’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

Board of Directors’ Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination

The officers and directors of JWAC have substantial experience in a wide range of industries and are confident that their experience and background, together with the experience of JWAC’s advisors, enabled them to exercise the necessary business judgment to make the determinations regarding the Business Combination. The Board also obtained the Stanton Park Opinion, described below, prior to the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, relating to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Transaction Consideration to be paid to the equity holders of Chijet in the Business Combination.

	●	Growth Prospects. JWAC believes that the electric car industry is an industry with the potential for high growth. They believe that demand for electric cars is growing and that a company such as Chijet which is attempting to appeal to a lower purchase point customer has favorable growth prospects.

	●	Broad Customer Base. JWAC believes that there is a growing customer base for electric vehicles in China particularly the vehicles produced by Chijet.

	●	Due Diligence. Business, financial and technical due diligence examinations of Chijet and discussions with Chijet’s management team were conducted, JWAC reviewed the due diligence report prepared for DMAQ by AlixPartners who had performed extensive due diligence, including conducting extensive in-person meetings and calls with Chijet’s management team and its representatives regarding Chijet’s operations and financial prospects, technical analysis. Additional legal and technical review of Chijet’s material contracts, intellectual property and labor matters was conducted. Such due diligence examination of Chijet was reviewed by JWAC’s legal, technical, and financial advisors, and indicated to JWAC management that Chijet could assemble the required elements to create a foundation for a potentially very successful vehicle design and manufacturing company;

	●	Stockholder Liquidity. The obligation in the Business Combination Agreement to have Pubco Ordinary Shares issued as merger consideration listed on the Nasdaq, a major U.S. stock exchange, which the Board believes has the potential to offer JWAC stockholders enhanced liquidity following the Business Combination;

	●	Management Team Continuity. Chijet’s senior management team intends to remain with the Combined Company in the capacity of officers and/or directors following the Business Combination, providing beneficial continuity in advancing Chijet’s strategic and growth goals;

169

	●	Lock-Up. Key Chijet Holders (including its management team) agreed to be subject to lockup provisions of 6 months in respect of their Pubco Ordinary Shares (subject to certain customary exceptions), which would provide important stability to the Combined Company;

	●	Fairness Opinion. On September 30, 2022, JWAC engaged Stanton Park for the benefit of its Board in connection with the consideration by the Board of the Business Combination between JWAC and Chijet pursuant to which JWAC would acquire all or substantially all of the assets and business of Chijet (the “Acquired Business”) in consideration of the issuance of common stock of the surviving company. Subject to various agreed procedures, terms, conditions, assumptions, qualifications and limitations, Stanton Park valued the Acquired Business and, at the request of the Board, on October 24, 2022, rendered its formal written opinion, which we refer to as the “Stanton Park Opinion,” that as of that date the purchase price of up to $1,650,000,000. See discussion under “—The Business Combination Proposal: Stanton Park Opinion.” The full text of the opinion is included with this proxy statement/prospectus; All descriptions of and disclosures concerning the Stanton Park Opinion are qualified in their entirety by reference to the specific text ofthe Stanton Park Opinion, a copy of which is included as Annex D to this proxy statement/prospectus. The included copy is provided only for informational purposes and is not for the benefit of or to be relied on by any person or entity other than the Board;

	●	Other Alternatives. The Board believes, after a thorough review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to JWAC that the proposed Business Combination represents the most promising potential business combination for JWAC and the most attractive opportunity based upon the process utilized to evaluate and assess other potential acquisition targets. Given the demand for vehicles which are powered with alternatives to fossil fuels and Chijet’s technology and customer pipeline, JWAC’s Board believes Chijet offers its stockholders the most potential value when compared to other target candidates; and

	●	Negotiated Transaction. The financial and other terms of the Business Combination Agreement and the fact that such terms and conditions are reasonable and were the product of arm’s length negotiations between JWAC and Chijet.

The Board also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination including, but not limited to, the following:

	●	Macroeconomic Risks. Macroeconomic uncertainty, including the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the effects it could have on Chijet’s revenues post-closing;

	●	Business Plan and Growth Initiatives May Not Be Achieved. The risk that Chijet may not be able to execute on its business plan and realize the potential financial performance presented to JWAC’s management team, or that Chijet’s growth initiatives may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe. Although JWAC’s board was provided access to Chijet’s investor presentation summarizing the company’s plans for medium and long term growth, those plans were believed to be subject to significant uncertainty due to several factors, including but not limited to supply chain interruptions, the effect of covid shutdowns in China and increased competition in the Chines EV market.

	●	Redemption Risk. The potential that a significant number of JWAC stockholders elect to redeem their shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and pursuant to the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation, which would potentially make the Business Combination more difficult or impossible to complete;

	●	Stockholder Vote. The risk that JWAC’s stockholders may fail to provide the votes necessary to effect the Business Combination;

	●	Closing Conditions. The fact that the completion of the Business Combination is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not within JWAC’s control;

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

170

	●	Listing Risks. The challenges associated with preparing Chijet, a private entity, for the applicable disclosure and listing requirements to which the Combined Company will be subject as a publicly traded company on the Nasdaq;

	●	Benefits May Not Be Achieved. The risks that the potential benefits of the Business Combination may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe;

	●	Liquidation of JWAC. The risks and costs to JWAC if the Business Combination is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other business combination opportunities, which could result in JWAC being unable to effect a business combination by March 9, 2023 (or such later date as may be extended by means of a further contribution to the Trust Account in accordance with the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation or amendment to such certificate), the termination date under the Business Combination Agreement (the “Outside Date”);

	●	Regulatory Risks. The risks to the adoption of Chijet’s technology include national and local and environmental regulations, which are subject to change;

	●	Board and Independent Committees. The risk that the Combined Company’s board of directors post- Closing and independent committees do not possess adequate skills set within the context of the Combined Company operating as a public company;

	●	Holders of JWAC Common Stock, and JWAC Rights Receiving a Minority Position in the Combined Company. The risk that JWAC stockholders will hold a minority position in the Combined Company;

	●	Fees and Expenses. The fees and expenses associated with completing the Business Combination; and

	●	Other Risk Factors. Various other risk factors associated with the business of Chijet, as described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The above discussion of the material factors considered by the Board is not intended to be exhaustive, but does set forth the principal factors considered by the Board.

Opinion of Stanton Park Advisors LLC

Opinion of Financial Advisor to Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp.

Stanton Park Advisors, LLC (“Stanton Park”) was retained by Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp. (“JWAC”) to provide its opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of JWAC regarding the Business Combination. On October 24, 2022, Stanton Park delivered its opinion to JWAC’s board of directors, to the effect that, based on financial, business and operating information available to it as of September 30, 2022, the total consideration to be paid by JWAC in the Business Combination is fair to the JWAC shareholders from a financial perspective.

The summary of the opinion in this proxy statement/solicitation consent/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the written opinion, which is included as Annex D to this proxy statement/prospectus and sets forth the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken and other matters considered by Stanton Park in preparing its opinion. However, neither Stanton Park’s written opinion nor the summary of its opinion and the related analyses set forth in this proxy statement/solicitation consent/prospectus are intended to be, and do not constitute, advice or a recommendation to any shareholder as to how such shareholder should act or vote with respect to any matter relating to the proposed Business Combination or otherwise, including, without limitation, whether any such shareholder should redeem its shares or any party should participate in the Private Placement.

The opinion was addressed to the JWAC Board for the use and benefit of the members of the JWAC Board (in their capacities as such) in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination. Stanton Park’s opinion was just one of the several factors the JWAC Board took into account in making its determination to approve the Business Combination, including those described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

171

Stanton Park’s opinion only addressed whether, as of the date of the opinion, the Business Combination in the aggregate pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to JWAC. It did not address any other terms, aspects, or implications of the Business Combination, the Business Combination Agreement or any related or other transaction or agreement, including, without limitation, (i) other than assuming the consummation thereof, the Private Placement; (ii) the shareholder support agreement and the lock-up agreements to be entered into in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, (iii) any term or aspect of the Business Combination that is not susceptible to financial analysis, (iv) the fairness of the Business Combination, or all or any portion of the Merger shares, to any security holders of JWAC, Chijet, Inc. (“Chijet”) or any other person or any creditors or other constituencies of JWAC, Chijet or any other person, (v) the appropriate capital structure of JWAC or Chijet or whether JWAC should be issuing debt or equity securities or a combination of both in the Business Combination, (vi) any capital raising or financing transaction contemplated by JWAC, including, without limitation, the Private Placement, nor (vi) the fairness of the amount or nature, or any other aspect, of any compensation or consideration payable to or received by any officers, directors, or employees of any parties to the Business Combination, or any class of such persons, relative to the Merger shares, or otherwise. Stanton Park did not express any opinion as to what the value of shares of JWAC Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or any other security of JWAC actually will be when issued in the Business Combination or the prices at which shares of JWAC Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, or any other securities of JWAC or Chijet could trade, be purchased or sold at any time.

Stanton Park’s opinion did not address the relative merits of the Business Combination as compared to any alternative transaction or business strategy that might have existed for JWAC, or the merits of the underlying decision by the board of directors of JWAC or JWAC to engage in or consummate the Business Combination. The financial and other terms of the Business Combination were determined pursuant to negotiations between the parties to the Business Combination Agreement and were not determined by or pursuant to any recommendation from Stanton Park. In addition, Stanton Park was not authorized to, and did not, solicit indications of interest from third parties regarding a potential transaction involving JWAC.

Stanton Park was not requested to, and did not, (a) initiate or participate in any discussions or negotiations with respect to the Merger, the securities, assets, businesses or operations of JWAC, Chijet or any other party, or any alternatives to the Merger, (b) negotiate the terms of the Business Combination, or (c) advise the board of directors of JWAC, JWAC or any other party with respect to alternatives to the Business Combination. Stanton Park’s analyses and opinion were necessarily based upon market, economic, and other conditions as they existed on, and could be evaluated as of, the date of Stanton Park’s opinion and upon certain assumptions regarding such financial, economic, market and other conditions, which were subject to unusual volatility and which, if different than assumed, could have a material impact on Stanton Park’s analyses and opinion. Accordingly, although subsequent developments could arise that would otherwise affect its opinion, Stanton Park did not assume any obligation to update, review, or reaffirm its opinion to JWAC or any other person or otherwise to comment on or consider events occurring or coming to Stanton Park’s attention after the date of its opinion.

Stanton Park received a fee of $15,000 for its opinion, no portion of which was contingent upon the completion of the Business Combination. In addition, JWAC agreed to reimburse certain of Stanton Park’s expenses and to indemnify Stanton Park and certain related parties for certain liabilities that may arise out of its engagement or the rendering of its opinion. Stanton Park previously performed a valuation of Chijet for DMAQ.

In connection with its analysis, Stanton Park has made such reviews, analyses, and inquiries as it deemed necessary and appropriate under the circumstances. Stanton Park also took into account its assessment of general economic, market, and financial conditions, as well as its experience in business valuation in general, and with respect to similar transactions, in particular. Stanton Park’s procedures, investigations, and financial analyses included, but were not limited to historical and projected financial statements, Chijet’s investor presentation, industry and market research, discussions with the management teams of JWAC and Chijet, and other documents related to the Business Combination and Chijet. Stanton Park performed certain valuation analyses using generally accepted valuation and analysis techniques, including a discounted cash flow analysis. Stanton Park conducted such other analyses and considered such other factors as it deemed appropriate.

Mr. Taylor is a certified valuation analyst with the national association of certified valuators and analysts.

Overview of Industry

Stanton Park estimated the probability of each of Chijet’s indications success based on a review of studies, which analyzed historical data.

Mordor Intelligence, CHINA ELECTRIC VEHICLES MARKET - GROWTH, TRENDS, COVID-19 IMPACT, AND FORECASTS (2022-2027)

Stanton Park considered the Chinese electric vehicles market industry, which Electric vehicles in China have seen rapid development due to increasing manufacturing companies, growing charging infrastructure, and government initiatives. The Chinese electric vehicles market is segmented by vehicle type and by drivetrain type. By Vehicle Type, the market is segmented into passenger cars and commercial vehicles. By drivetrain type, the market is segmented into battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. For each segment, the market sizing and forecasting have been done on the basis of value (USD billion).

The Chinese government has given a considerable amount of tax exemption or had lifted taxes on the buying of EVs. These initiatives by the government have engrossed a lot of buyers to purchase EVs in this country. For instance, in April 2020, the Chinese government introduced a 10% service tax waiver for electric vehicles to boost the demand in the market. China represents about 40% of the global battery electric vehicle (BEV) market. The vehicle manufacturers such as Toyota and Honda have been dominating the hybrid vehicle segment in China, with their models such as Toyota Corolla Hybrid and Honda Accord Hybrid. In the first three quarters of 2019, Corolla Hybrid sold 38,540 units in China, which accounted for a nearly 20% increase in total hybrid deliveries during the period.

Such events are assisting China to formulate a resolute and optimistic prospect for the development of electric vehicles in the country, which is anticipated to propel the market.

However, the market was negatively impacted by COVID-19 in 2020. The market growth was disrupted owing to lockdowns and reduced income of the population in China. A halt in manufacturing and sales activities and the disrupted supply chain hampered the market growth in 2020.

Comparable Public Companies Selected for Analysis

In the market approach to valuation, Stanton Park selected five publicly traded companies that operate in the electric car industry. Stanton Park determined that these companies have similar suppliers, customers, and face similar business and economic risks relative to Chijet:

●	Canoo Inc.
●	NIO Inc.
●	Xpeng Inc.
●	Kandi Technologies Group Inc.
●	Li Auto Inc.

Valuation Methodology – Income Approach

The income and market approaches are most appropriate when conducting a valuation rather than the asset-based approach. The asset-based approach to valuation is normally only used when the subject company does not appear to be able to continue operations as a going-concern or when the company is expected to be liquidated. This approach is very complex and time consuming due to the fact that it requires an appraisal of all assets and liabilities, tangible and intangible, of the business using the defined standard of value. Therefore, it is not used normally in conjunction with the appraisal of an operating business that is anticipated to carry on as a going concern. In Stanton Park’s valuation of Chijet, Stanton Park primarily relied on the income approach to determine the intrinsic value of Chijet.

Overview of Key Assumptions and Inputs

Stanton Park’s equity value calculation assumes a debt-free, cash-free balance sheet.

To determine an appropriate discount rate, Stanton Park calculated the weighted average cost of capital, or WACC, of Chijet. The WACC approximates the expected return on invested capital within the industry. To calculate the WACC, Stanton Park calculated the cost of equity and after-tax cost of debt relying on the Capital Asset Pricing Model, or CAPM, to develop the cost of equity using the Duff & Phelps Cost of Capital Navigator. CAPM is based on the assumption that all businesses and business interests are a subset of the investment opportunities available in the total capital market.

CAPM calculates the required or expected rate of return of a particular asset through a risk-free rate, a risk premium based on the associated risk of the asset, and a beta based on comparable public companies, which measure the volatility of the asset relative to the overall market. The CAPM formula is as follows:

Return on Asset = Risk-Free Rate + Beta (Return on Market – Risk-Free Rate)

Conclusion & Opinion

Stanton Park’s analysis provided that the purchase price for an 85.1717 percent equity stake in Chijet of $1,600,000,000 (rounded) is fair to the shareholders of JWAC. Based on Stanton Park’s analysis, it is their opinion that the Business Combination is “fair” to shareholders of JWAC from a financial perspective.

The above description and disclosure are summary in nature and are qualified in its entirety by the text of the Stanton Park Opinion, a copy of which is included as Annex D hereto. The included copy is provided only for informational purposes and is not for the benefit of or to be relied on by any person or entity other than the Board.

Roles of JWAC’s Advisor in the Negotiation and Execution of the Business Combination

I-Bankers served as representative to the underwriters in the JWAC IPO and is acting as JWAC’s capital markets advisor for the Business Combination. JWAC’s management consulted with I-Bankers in connection with its evaluation of Chijet, including a review of information on other publicly traded companies in the life sciences and healthcare industries. I-Bankers was not engaged to provide a report, opinion or appraisal for the proposed Business Combination. I-Bankers is entitled to $4,830,000 of deferred compensation for its underwriting services in connection with the JWAC IPO. Additionally, in connection with its IPO, JWAC issued to I-Bankers an aggregate of 276,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock for nominal consideration, which we refer to as the representative shares, and which will be worthless unless and until JWAC completes an initial business combination. Other than as disclosed herein, there has been no material relationship between JWAC or its affiliates and I-Bankers and its affiliates or unaffiliated representatives during the past two years, nor is any such relationship contemplated.

Interests of JWAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of our Board in favor of the Proposals, you should keep in mind that our directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) your interests as a stockholder. These interests include, among other things:

	●	If the Business Combination, or another business combination, is not consummated by March 9, 2023 (or such later date as may be extended by means of a further contribution to the Trust Account in accordance with the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation or amendment to such certificate), then JWAC will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) 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 franchise and income taxes (less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

	●	Our Sponsor paid an aggregate of $50,000 for the founder shares, or approximately $0.017 per founder share. As a result, our Sponsor, its affiliates and our management team and advisors could make a substantial profit if the Business Combination is consummated. On the other hand, if the Business Combination is not consummated, such founder shares will be worthless.

	●	Our Sponsor has agreed to purchase an aggregate of 425,000 units (or 470,000 units if the over-allotment option is exercised in full) at a price of $10.00 per unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $4,250,000 (or 4,700,000 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full), and I-Bankers has agreed to purchase an aggregate of 90,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $900,000, that will also be worthless if the Business Combination is not consummated.

	●	Within 10 days following the Business Combination, if it is approved and consummated, JWAC will issue to our officers and directors an aggregate of 300,000 shares of JWAC Common Stock, with the same lock-up restrictions and registration rights as the founder shares

175

●

Our Sponsor has agreed to waive its redemption rights with respect to any founder shares, any private placement shares and any public shares held in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination. Additionally, our Sponsor has agreed to waive its redemption rights with respect to any founder shares or private placement shares held by it if we fail to consummate the Business Combination within the required time period. If we do not complete our initial business combination within such applicable time period, the proceeds of the sale of the private placement units held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of our public shares, and the private placement rights (and the underlying securities) will expire worthless. Subject to certain limited exceptions, our sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell 50% of its founder shares until the earlier of (i) six months after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination or (ii) the date on which the closing price of our shares of common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock sub-divisions, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after our initial business combination and the remaining 50% of the founder shares may not be transferred, assigned or sold until six months after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to our initial business combination, we consummate a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. With certain limited exceptions, the private units will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination.

Certain of our officers and directors presently have, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities, including entities that are affiliates of the Sponsor, pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entity. Accordingly, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he will honor his fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such business combination opportunity to such entity, subject to their fiduciary duties under Delaware and applicable law. Given the substantial target universe considered by JWAC’s management team, which included initial contact with over 20 companies and non-disclosure agreements with approximately 15 companies, and LOIs with 5 companies, JWAC’s Board did not believe that the other fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of its officers and directors materially affected JWAC’s ability to source a potential business combination. JWAC’s Board considered the factors supporting, and risks and uncertainties related to, a business combination with Chijet as set forth above under “The Business Combination Proposal — JWAC’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Business Combination,” and did not believe that such other fiduciary duties or contractual obligations impacted such consideration.

Total Shares to be Issued in the Business Combination

JWAC’s public stockholders currently own approximately 76.0% of JWAC’s issued and outstanding capital stock, and the Sponsor together with our directors and officers currently own approximately 24.0% of JWAC’s issued and outstanding capital stock (with the remaining approximately 2.3% of shares held by I-Bankers). It is anticipated that, immediately after the Business Combination and if there are no redemptions, JWAC’s public stockholders will own approximately 8.8% of Pubco’s issued and outstanding capital stock, the Sponsor and our directors and officers will own approximately 2.4% of Pubco’s issued and outstanding capital stock, I-Bankers will own approximately 0.2% of Pubco’s issued and outstanding capital stock, and the Chijet Holders will own approximately 88.8% of Pubco’s issued and outstanding capital stock.

If any of JWAC’s public stockholders exercise their redemption rights, the ownership interest in Pubco of JWAC’s public stockholders will decrease and the ownership interest in Pubco of the Chijet Holders and the Sponsor will increase, and if there are redemptions by JWAC’s public stockholders up to the maximum level that would permit completion of the Business Combination, JWAC’s public stockholders will own 1.1% of Pubco’s issued and outstanding capital stock, the Sponsor and our directors and officers will own approximately 2.4% of Pubco’s issued and outstanding capital stock, I-Bankers will own 0.3% of Pubco’s issued and outstanding capital stock and the Chijet Holders will own approximately 96.2% of Pubco’s issued and outstanding capital stock. If the actual facts are different than these assumptions (based on redemptions by JWAC’s public stockholders, changes in the terms of the Business Combination, adjustments to the Chijet purchase price pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement or otherwise), the percentage ownership interests in Pubco post-Business Combination may be different.

176

The ownership percentages discussed above and set forth below with respect to Pubco includes the shares issuable to the Chijet Holders, and assumes Rights Holders exercise all of their JWAC Rights, but does not take into account (i) any shares reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan, (ii) the issuance of any shares upon the exercise of additional private placement units that are issued or issuable to our Sponsor pursuant to the conversion of the Sponsor’s up to $1.5 million working capital loans that were made to JWAC, (iii) any adjustments to the Transaction Consideration payable to the Chijet Holders set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, (iv) any shares issued upon the exercise of the Representative Warrant, (v) any shares issued upon the exercise of GT Warrant, (vi) the 300,000 shares of JWAC Common Stock issuable to JWAC’s officers and directors within 10 days following the closing of the Business Combination, which shall be exchanged for the equivalent number of Pubco Ordinary Shares, and (vii) the 200,000 shares of Pubco Ordinary Shares issuable to Greentree due to the conversion of Baoya’s accrued expenses of $1,000,000 pursuant to the financial consulting agreements with Greentree . See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed consolidated Combined Financial Information” for further information.

The following table illustrates varying ownership levels of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Pubco, assuming varying levels of redemptions by JWAC’s public stockholders:

	Ownership Percentage Assuming No Redemption of Shares			Ownership Percentage Assuming 50% Redemption of Shares			Ownership Percentage Assuming Maximum Redemption of Shares

Satisfaction of 80% Test

It is a requirement under the Nasdaq listing requirements that any business acquired by JWAC have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the Trust Account at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for an initial business combination. Based on the pre-money valuation of $805 million for Chijet compared to the $140 million held in the Trust Account on September 30, 2022 when the Business Combination Agreement was signed by JWAC, the Board determined that this requirement was met. The Board determined that the consideration being paid in the Business Combination, which amount was negotiated at arms-length, were fair to and in the best interests of JWAC and its stockholders and appropriately reflected Chijet’s value. In reaching this determination, the Board concluded that it was appropriate to base such valuation in part on qualitative factors such as management strength and depth, competitive positioning, customer relationships, and technical skills, as well as quantitative factors such as its potential for future growth in revenue and profits. The Board believes that the financial skills and background of its members qualify it to conclude that the acquisition of Chijet met this requirement.

Accounting Treatment

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a “reverse recapitalization” in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting JWAC will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination is primarily based on Chijet members expecting to have a majority of the voting power of the Combined Company, Chijet comprising the ongoing operations of the Combined Entity, Chijet comprising a majority of the governing body of the Combined Company, and Chijet’s senior management comprising the senior management of the Combined Company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Chijet issuing stock for the net assets of JWAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of JWAC will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of Chijet.

Vote Required for Approval

Adoption of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of JWAC Common Stock represented in person or by proxy that are voted at the Special Meeting (which would include presence by virtual attendance at the Special Meeting) and entitled to vote thereon. An abstention will be counted towards the quorum requirement but will not count as a vote cast at the Special Meeting. A broker non-vote will neither be counted towards the quorum requirement (as the Proposals we believe will be considered as non-discretionary) nor count as a vote cast in the Special Meeting.

This proposal is conditioned upon the approval of the other Condition Precedent Proposals (being the Charter Amendments Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal). Unless this proposal, the Charter Amendments Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal are approved, the Business Combination will not occur.

Recommendation of Our Board

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT OUR STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL.

Interests of JWAC’s Directors

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of JWAC’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of JWAC and its stockholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the Proposals. In addition, JWAC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a stockholder. See the section entitled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of JWAC’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

178

THE CHARTER AMENDMENTS PROPOSAL

The following table sets forth a summary of the principal changes proposed to be made between JWAC’s certificate of incorporation and the proposed Pubco’s Proposed Charter. This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the Proposed Charter, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B. All stockholders are encouraged to read the Proposed Charter in its entirety for a more complete description of its terms.

	JWAC Certificate of Incorporation	Pubco Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association

Common Stock	The JWAC Certificate of Incorporation authorizes an aggregate of 110,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which is comprised of two classes of common stock – 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and 10,000,000 of Class B common stock.	Pubco will have one class of common stock and authorized shares of ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share.

Preferred Stock	The JWAC Certificate of Incorporation authorizes 1,000,000 shares of JWAC Preferred Stock.	Pubco will have authorized shares of preferred shares, par value $0.0001 per share.

Number of Directors	The JWAC Certificate of Incorporation is silent on the number of directors, and the number of directors of JWAC, other than those who may be elected by the holders of one or more series of the preferred stock voting separately by class or series, shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by JWAC’s board of directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of JWAC’s board of directors. JWAC’s board of directors is divided into two classes of directors, as nearly equal as possible, with each class being elected to a staggered two-year term. Directors serve until their successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.	The total number constituting the board of directors of Pubco following the Closing will initially consist of seven individuals, a majority of whom shall be independent directors in accordance with Nasdaq requirements.

Classified Board	The board of directors of JWAC consists of two classes with staggered two-year terms.	The board of directors of Pubco is unclassified.

Stockholder Actions	Holders of JWAC Common Stock may not act by written consent in lieu of a meeting, on the other hand, holders of JWAC Class B Common Stock may take action by written consent.	Pubco stockholders may not act by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

Provisions Specific to a Blank Check Company	The JWAC Certificate of Incorporation sets forth various provisions related to its operations as a blank check company prior to the consummation of an initial business combination.	These provisions are not applicable to an operating company, and so the Proposed Charter does not include these blank check company provisions.

179

Each of the amendments above is referred to as a “Charter Amendment” and collectively, the “Charter Amendments.” These consist of the following separable proposals:

Charter Amendment Proposal A — To provide for a single class of Pubco Ordinary Shares and increase the number of authorized Pubco Ordinary Shares;

Charter Amendment Proposal B — To increase the number of authorized shares of Pubco “blank check” preferred stock; and

Charter Amendment Proposal C —To establish that the board of directors of Pubco following the Closing of the Business Combination (the “Pubco Board”) will not be divided into classes (with the number of directors of the Pubco Board being initially fixed at seven amended, as discussed under “The Business Combination Proposal—Appointments of Directors” and “Management of the Pubco after the Business Combination—Board Composition”).

Reasons for the Charter Amendments

Common Stock

The principal purpose of this Charter Amendment is to authorize additional Pubco Ordinary Shares. The greater number of authorized Pubco Ordinary Shares will be used to issue shares pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, to the employees of Pubco under the Incentive Plan, each as proposed to be adopted by Pubco in connection with the Business Combination, and for general corporate purposes. Additionally, the JWAC Board believes that it is important for the Combined Entity to have available for issuance a number of authorized Pubco Ordinary Shares and Pubco Preferred Shares sufficient to support the growth of the Combined Entity and to provide flexibility for future corporate needs (including, if needed, as part of financing for future growth acquisitions). The JWAC Board also believes that a single class of common stock provides a cleaner capital structure and suits the Combined Entity’s requirements following the consummation of the Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, authorized but unissued common shares may enable the Combined Entity’s board of directors to render it more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Combined Entity and thereby protect continuity of or entrench its management, which may adversely affect the market price of the Combined Entity’s common stock. If, in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, for example, the Combined Entity’s board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal was not in the best interests of the Combined Entity, such shares could be issued by the board of directors without stockholder approval in one or more private placements or other transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or make more costly the completion of any attempted takeover transaction by diluting voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group, by creating a substantial voting bloc in institutional or other hands that might support the position of the incumbent board of directors, by effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover, or otherwise. The authorization of additional shares will, however, enable the Combined Entity to have the flexibility to authorize the issuance of shares in the future for financing its business, for acquiring other businesses, for forming strategic partnerships and alliances and for stock dividends and stock splits. Pubco currently has no such plans, proposals, or arrangements, written or otherwise, to issue any of the additional authorized shares for such purposes.

180

Preferred Stock

The JWAC Board believes that these additional shares will provide the Combined Company with needed flexibility to issue shares in the future in a timely manner and under circumstances it considers favorable without incurring the risk, delay and potential expense incident to obtaining stockholder approval for a particular issuance.

However, authorized but unissued preferred stock may enable the board of directors to render it more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of Pubco and thereby protect continuity of or entrench its management, which may adversely affect the market price of Pubco. If, in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, for example, the board of directors was to determine that a takeover proposal was not in the best interests of Pubco, such preferred stock could be issued by the board without stockholder approval in one or more private placements or other transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or make more costly the completion of any attempted takeover transaction by diluting voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group, by creating a substantial voting bloc in institutional or other hands that might support the position of the board of directors, by effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover, or otherwise. Allowing Pubco’s board of directors to issue the authorized Pubco Preferred Shares on its own volition will enable Pubco to have the flexibility to issue such preferred stock in the future for financing its business, for acquiring other businesses, for forming strategic partnerships and alliances and for stock dividends and stock splits. Pubco currently has no such plans, proposals, or arrangements, written or otherwise, to issue any of the additional authorized stock for such purposes.

Number of Directors

This Charter Amendment is being made to ensure stockholders understand the exact number of directors in the Combined Entity as of the consummation of the Business Combination.

JWAC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a stockholder. See the section entitled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of JWAC’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Vote Required for Approval

This Charter Amendments Proposal will be approved in its entirety only if the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of JWAC Common Stock vote “FOR” each of the Charter Amendments. Failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting (which would include presence by virtual attendance at the Special Meeting) or an abstention from voting will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Charter Amendments Proposal.

The approval of the Charter Amendments Proposal, is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal at the Special Meeting.

Recommendation of Our Board

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT OUR STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL OF EACH OF THE CHARTER AMENDMENTS IN THE CHARTER AMENDMENTS PROPOSAL.

Interests of JWAC’s Directors

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of JWAC’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of JWAC and its stockholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the Proposals. In addition, JWAC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a stockholder. See the section entitled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of JWAC’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

181

THE ADVISORY CHARTER AMENDMENTS PROPOSALS

Overview

In connection with the Business Combination, JWAC is asking its stockholders to vote upon, on a non-binding advisory basis, proposals to approve certain governance provisions contained in the Proposed Charter. This separate vote is not otherwise required by Delaware law separate and apart from the Charter Amendments Proposal but, pursuant to SEC guidance, JWAC is required to submit these provisions to its stockholders separately for approval, allowing stockholders the opportunity to present their separate views on important governance provisions. However, the stockholder votes regarding these proposals are advisory votes, and are not binding on JWAC or the JWAC Board (separate and apart from the approval of the Charter Proposal). In the judgment of the JWAC Board, these provisions are necessary to adequately address the needs of Pubco. Furthermore, the Business Combination is not conditioned on the separate approval of the Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals (separate and apart from approval of the Charter Amendments Proposal).

JWAC stockholders will be asked to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the following material differences between the Proposed Charter of Pubco and the existing JWAC Certificate of Incorporation, which are being presented in accordance with the requirements of the SEC as six separate sub-proposals (the “Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals”):

Advisory Charter Amendment Proposal A — To provide for a single class of Pubco Ordinary Shares and increase the number of authorized Pubco Ordinary Shares;

Advisory Charter Amendment Proposal B — To increase the number of authorized shares of Pubco “blank check” preferred stock; and

Advisory Charter Amendment Proposal C —To establish that the board of directors of Pubco following the Closing of the Business Combination (the “Pubco Board”) will not be divided into classes (with the number of directors of the Pubco Board being initially fixed at seven, as discussed under “The Business Combination Proposal—Appointments of Directors” and “Management of the Pubco after the Business Combination—Board Composition”).

182

Reasons for the Advisory Charter Amendments

Advisory Charter Amendment Proposal A

Notwithstanding the foregoing, authorized but unissued shares of common stock may enable the Combined Entity’s board of directors to render it more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Combined Entity and thereby protect continuity of or entrench its management, which may negatively impact the market price of the Combined Entity’s common stock. If, in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, for example, the Combined Entity’s board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal was not in the best interests of Combined Entity, such shares could be issued by the board of directors without stockholder approval in one or more private placements or other transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or make more costly the completion of any attempted takeover transaction by diluting voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group, by creating a substantial voting bloc in institutional or other hands that might support the position of the incumbent board of directors, by effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover, or otherwise. The authorization of additional shares will, however, enable Combined Entity to have the flexibility to authorize the issuance of shares in the future for financing its business, for acquiring other businesses, for forming strategic partnerships and alliances and for stock dividends and stock splits. Pubco currently has no such plans, proposals, or arrangements, written or otherwise, to issue any of the additional authorized shares for such purposes.

Advisory Charter Amendment Proposal B

Notwithstanding the foregoing, authorized but unissued preferred stock may enable the Pubco Board to render it more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of Pubco and thereby protect continuity of or entrench its management, which may negatively impact the market price of the Pubco Ordinary Shares. If, in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, for example, the Pubco Board was to determine that a takeover proposal was not in the best interests of Pubco, such preferred stock could be issued by the Pubco Board without stockholder approval in one or more private placements or other transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or make more costly the completion of any attempted takeover transaction by diluting voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group, by creating a substantial voting bloc in institutional or other hands that might support the position of the incumbent board of directors, by effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover, or otherwise. Allowing the Pubco Board to issue the authorized preferred stock on its own volition will enable Pubco to have the flexibility to issue such preferred stock in the future for financing its business, for acquiring other businesses, for forming strategic partnerships and alliances and for stock dividends and stock splits. However, Pubco currently has no such plans, proposals, or arrangements, written or otherwise, to issue any of the additional authorized stock for such purposes.

183

Advisory Charter Amendment Proposal C

The total number constituting the Pubco Board following the Closing will initially consist of seven individuals, a majority of whom shall be independent directors in accordance with Nasdaq requirements. It is in the interests of stockholders of the Combined Company to know the size of its board of directors, and such provisions are also in accordance with the DGCL. The Proposed Charter customarily can specify independence requirements to the extent relevant to a listing on Nasdaq or a securities exchange.

Vote Required for Approval

These Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by stockholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting (which would include presence by virtual attendance at the Special Meeting). An abstention will be counted towards the quorum requirement but will not count as a vote cast at the Special Meeting. A broker non-vote will neither be counted towards the quorum requirement (as the Proposals we believe will be considered as non-discretionary) nor count as a vote cast in the Special Meeting.

The approval and adoption of the Advisory Charter Amendments Proposals is non-binding and not conditioned on any other Proposal at the Special Meeting.

Recommendation of Our Board

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT OUR STOCKHOLDERS

VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL OF EACH OF THE ADVISORY CHARTER AMENDMENTS IN THE

ADVISORY CHARTER AMENDMENTS PROPOSAL.

Interests of JWAC’s Directors

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of JWAC’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of JWAC and its stockholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the Proposals. In addition, JWAC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a stockholder. See the section entitled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of JWAC’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

184

THE NASDAQ PROPOSAL

Overview

In connection with the Business Combination, we intend to effect (subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement), for purposes of complying with the applicable listing rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, the issuance of up to 157,519,170 Pubco Ordinary Shares to Chijet Holders and JWAC stockholders upon the Closing. For further information, please see the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal (Proposal 1),” as well as the annexes to this proxy statement/prospectus.

Why JWAC Needs Stockholder Approval

Stockholder approval of the listing on Nasdaq is a condition to the Closing under the Business Combination Agreement.

We also are seeking stockholder approval in order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), (b), (c) and (d), as applicable.

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), stockholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities in connection with the acquisition of another company where, due to the present or potential issuance of common stock, other than common stock issued in a public offering (i) the common stock has, or will have upon issuance, voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of such securities (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock); or (ii) the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of the stock or securities.

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b), stockholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities when the issuance or potential issuance will result in a “change of control” of the registrant. Although Nasdaq has not adopted any rule on what constitutes a “change of control” for purposes of Rule 5635(b), Nasdaq has previously indicated that the acquisition of, or right to acquire, by a single investor or affiliated investor group, as little as 20% of the common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) or voting power of an issuer could constitute a change of control.

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c), stockholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities when a plan or other equity compensation arrangement is established or materially amended.

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), stockholder approval is required for a transaction other than a public offering involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by an issuer of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) at a price that is less than the greater of book or market value of the stock if the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or may be equal to 20% or more of the common stock, or 20% or more of the voting power, outstanding before the issuance.

Effect of Proposal on JWAC Stockholders and Pubco Stockholders

If the Nasdaq Proposal is adopted, we will issue up to 183,391,795 Pubco Ordinary Shares assuming no redemptions, 175,629,295 Pubco Ordinary Shares assuming 50% redemptions and 169,694,264 Pubco Ordinary Shares assuming maximum redemptions to Chijet Holders and JWAC stockholders upon the Closing.

The issuance of the Pubco Ordinary Shares described above would result in significant dilution to JWAC stockholders and result in JWAC stockholders having a smaller percentage interest in the voting power, liquidation value and aggregate book value of Pubco.

185

In the event that this Proposal is not approved by JWAC stockholders, the Business Combination cannot be consummated. In the event that this Proposal is approved by JWAC stockholders, but the Business Combination Agreement is terminated (without the Business Combination being consummated) prior to the issuance of Pubco Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Pubco will not issue such Pubco Ordinary Shares.

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be proposed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, that for the purposes of complying with the applicable provisions of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635, the issuance of Pubco Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, including to Chijet members, be approved, and that for purposes of complying with the applicable provisions of Nasdaq Listing Rule 3635, the potential issuance of the Earnout Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, be approved.”

Required Vote for Approval

The approval of the Nasdaq Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by stockholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting (which would include presence by virtual attendance at the Special Meeting). An abstention will be counted towards the quorum requirement but will not count as a vote cast at the Special Meeting. A broker non-vote will neither be counted towards the quorum requirement (as the Proposals we believe will be considered as non-discretionary) nor count as a vote cast in the Special Meeting.

The Nasdaq Proposal is conditioned on the approval and adoption of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendments Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal.

Recommendation of Our Board

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT JWAC

STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE NASDAQ PROPOSAL.

Interests of JWAC’s Directors

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of JWAC’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she, or they may believe is in the best interests of JWAC and its stockholders and what he, she, or they may believe is best for himself, herself, or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the Proposals. In addition, JWAC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a stockholder. See the section titled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of JWAC’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

186

THE INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL

The Background of the Incentive Plan

Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, our board of directors is expected to approve, subject to approval by our stockholders, the adoption of the Chijet Motors 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) by Pubco, effective as of and contingent on the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Effective Date”). If the Incentive Plan is approved by our stockholders, Pubco will be authorized to grant equity and cash incentive awards to eligible employees, non-employee directors and other service providers. A copy of the Incentive Plan is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C.

Purpose of the Incentive Plan

The purpose of the Incentive Plan is to enhance Pubco’s ability to attract, retain, incent, reward and motivate persons who make (or are expected to make) important contributions to Pubco by providing these individuals with equity ownership and other incentive opportunities. Pubco believes that the equity-based awards to be issued under the Incentive Plan will motivate recipients to offer their maximum effort to Pubco and help focus them on the creation of long-term value consistent with the interests of Pubco’s stockholders. The board of directors of Pubco believes that the Incentive Plan (a) will provide Pubco with significant means to attract and retain talented personnel, (b) will result in saving cash, which otherwise would be required to maintain current employees and adequately attract and reward personnel and others who perform services for Pubco, and (c) consequently, will prove beneficial to Pubco’s ability to be competitive.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the number of persons that would be eligible to participate in the Incentive Plan upon its effective date is approximately employees, non-employee directors and independent contractors.

Reasons for the Approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal

Stockholder approval of the Incentive Plan is a condition to the Closing under the Business Combination Agreement. Stockholder approval of the Incentive Plan is also necessary in order for Pubco to (a) meet the stockholder approval requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market and (b) grant ISOs thereunder.

Consequences if the Stock Incentive Plan Proposal is Not Approved

If the Stock Incentive Plan Proposal is not approved by our stockholders, (a) the Business Combination will not be consummated and (b) the Incentive Plan will not become effective and Pubco will not be able to grant equity awards under the Incentive Plan. Additionally, Pubco believes its ability to recruit, retain and incentivize top talent will be adversely affected if the Stock Incentive Plan Proposal is not approved.

Material Terms of the Incentive Plan

The material terms of the Incentive Plan, as currently contemplated by Pubco’s board of directors, are summarized below, which summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C. Our stockholders are being asked to approve the Incentive Plan as presented. If the terms of the Incentive Plan are materially amended in a manner that would require stockholder approval under the Nasdaq Capital Market or the ISO requirements, stockholders will be asked to approve such material amendment.

187

Stock Awards. The Incentive Plan provides for the grant of ISOs, non-statutory stock options (“NSOs”), stock unit awards, restricted share awards, stock appreciation rights, and performance-based stock awards, or collectively, stock awards and cash-based awards. Stock awards and cash-based awards are collectively revered to as “awards.” ISOs may be granted only to Pubco’s employees, including officers, and the employees of Pubco’s parent or subsidiaries. All other awards may be granted to Pubco’s employees, officers, Pubco’s non-employee directors, and consultants and the employees, directors and consultants of Pubco’s parent, subsidiaries, and affiliates.

Share Reserve. The aggregate number of Pubco Ordinary Shares that may be issued pursuant to awards under the Incentive Plan will not exceed the sum of (a) million shares, plus (b) an annual increase on the first day of each calendar year, for a period of not more than 10 years, beginning on January 1, 2023 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2032, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the outstanding shares on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar year or (ii) such lesser amount (including zero) that the Compensation Committee (as defined below) determines for purposes of the annual increase for that calendar year.

If restricted shares or shares issued upon the exercise of options are forfeited, then such shares shall again become available for awards under the Incentive Plan. If stock units, options, or stock appreciation rights are forfeited or terminate for any reason before being exercised or settled, or an award is settled in cash without the delivery of shares to the holder, then the corresponding shares will again become available for awards under the Incentive Plan. If stock units or stock appreciation rights are settled, then only the number of shares (if any) actually issued in settlement of such stock units or stock appreciation rights shall reduce the number of shares available under the Incentive Plan, and the balance (including any shares withheld to cover taxes) shall again become available for awards under the Incentive Plan. Any shares withheld to satisfy the exercise price or tax withholding obligation pursuant to any award of options or stock appreciation rights shall again become available for awards under the Incentive Plan.

Shares issued under the Incentive Plan shall be authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. As of the date hereof, no awards have been granted and no shares have been issued under the Incentive Plan.

Incentive Stock Option Limit. The maximum number of Pubco Ordinary Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of ISOs under the Incentive Plan is five times the number of shares provided under clause (a) under “Share Reserve” above, plus, to the extent allowable under the Internal Revenue Code, any shares that become available for issuance under the Plan discussed above as a result of forfeiture or termination of awards.

Grants to Outside Directors. The fair market value of any awards granted under the Incentive Plan to an outside director, taken together with any cash fees paid by the Company as compensation for services as an outside director during any 12-month period may not exceed seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($750,000) in total value (calculating the value of any awards based on the grant date fair value of the awards for financial reporting purposes) or, with respect to the calendar year in which an outside director is first appointed or elected to the board of directors of Pubco, one million dollars ($1,000,000). Additionally, if permitted by the Pubco board of directors, an outside director may elect to receive his or her annual retainer payments and/or meeting fees in the form of cash, options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, stock units, or a combination thereof.

Administration. The Incentive Plan will be administered by a committee appointed by the Pubco board of directors or by the Pubco board of directors acting as the committee (the board and committee are referred to in this summary as the “Compensation Committee”). Subject to the limitations set forth in the Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee will have the authority to determine, among other things, to whom awards will be granted, the number of shares subject to awards, the term during which an option or stock appreciation right may be exercised and the rate at which the awards may vest or be earned, including any performance criteria to which they may be subject. The Compensation Committee also will have the authority to determine the consideration and methodology of payment for awards.

188

Repricing; Cancellation and Re-Grant of Stock Awards. The Compensation Committee will have the authority to modify outstanding awards under the Incentive Plan. Subject to the terms of the Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee will have the authority cancel any outstanding stock award in exchange for new stock awards, cash, or other consideration, without stockholder approval but with the consent of any adversely affected participant.

Stock Options. A stock option is the right to purchase a certain number of shares of stock, at a certain exercise price, in the future. Under the Incentive Plan, ISOs and NSOs are granted pursuant to stock option agreements adopted by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee determines the per share exercise price for a stock option, within the terms and conditions of the Incentive Plan, provided that the per share exercise price of a stock option generally cannot be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the per share fair market value of a share of Pubco Ordinary Shares on the date of grant. Options granted under the Incentive Plan vest at the rate specified by the Compensation Committee.

Stock options granted under the Incentive Plan generally must be exercised by the optionee before the earlier of the expiration of such option or the expiration of a specified period following the optionee’s termination of employment. Each stock option agreement will set forth the extent to which the option recipient will have the right to exercise the option following the termination of the recipient’s service with us, and the right to exercise the option of any executors or administrators of the award recipient’s estate or any person who has acquired such options directly from the award recipient by bequest or inheritance.

Payment of the exercise price may be made in cash or, if provided for in the stock option agreement evidencing the award, (a) by surrendering, or attesting to the ownership of, shares which have already been owned by the optionee, (b) by delivery of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker to sell shares and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to Pubco in payment of the aggregate exercise price, (c) by delivery of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker or lender to pledge shares and to deliver all or part of the loan proceeds to Pubco in payment of the aggregate exercise price, (d) by a “net exercise” arrangement, (e) by delivering a full-recourse promissory note, or (f) by any other form that is consistent with applicable laws, regulations, and rules.

Tax Limitations on Incentive Stock Options. The aggregate fair market value, determined at the time of grant, of Pubco Ordinary Shares with respect to ISOs that are exercisable for the first time by an optionholder during any calendar year under all of Pubco’s stock plans may not exceed $100,000. Options or portions thereof that exceed such limit will generally be treated as NSOs. No ISO may be granted to any person who, at the time of the grant, owns or is deemed to own stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of Pubco’s total combined voting power or that of any of Pubco’s affiliates unless (a) the option exercise price is at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the fair market value of the stock subject to the option on the date of grant, and (b) the term of the ISO does not exceed five years from the date of grant.

Stock Unit Awards. Stock unit awards give recipients the right to acquire a specified number of shares of stock (or cash amount) at a future date upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including any vesting arrangement, established by the Compensation Committee and as set forth in a stock unit award agreement. A stock unit award may be settled by cash, delivery of stock, a combination of cash and stock as deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee. Recipients of stock unit awards generally will have no voting or dividend rights prior to the time the vesting conditions are satisfied and the award is settled. At the Compensation Committee’s discretion and as set forth in the stock unit award agreement, stock units may provide for the right to dividend equivalents. Dividend equivalents may not be distributed prior to settlement of the stock unit to which the dividend equivalents pertain and the value of any dividend equivalents payable or distributable with respect to any unvested stock units that do not vest will be forfeited. We will generally be entitled to a tax deduction at the same time and in the same amount as ordinary income is recognized by the recipient.

189

Restricted Share Awards. The terms of any awards of restricted shares under the Incentive Plan will be set forth in a restricted share agreement to be entered into between Pubco and the recipient. The Compensation Committee will determine the terms and conditions of the restricted share agreements, which need not be identical. A restricted share award may be subject to vesting requirements or transfer restrictions or both. Restricted shares may be issued for such consideration as the Compensation Committee may determine, including cash, cash equivalents, full recourse promissory notes, past services and future services. Award recipients who are granted restricted shares generally have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to those shares, provided that dividends and other distributions will not be paid in respect of unvested shares unless and until the underlying shares vest.

Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock appreciation rights generally provide for payments to the recipient based upon increases in the price of Pubco Ordinary Shares over the exercise price of the stock appreciation right. The Compensation Committee determines the per share exercise price for a stock appreciation right, which generally cannot be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value per share of Pubco Ordinary Shares on the date of grant. A stock appreciation right granted under the Incentive Plan vests at the rate specified in the stock appreciation right agreement as determined by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee determines the term of stock appreciation rights granted under the Incentive Plan, up to a maximum of ten years. Upon the exercise of a stock appreciation right, we will pay the participant an amount in stock, cash, or a combination of stock and cash as determined by the Compensation Committee, equal to the product of (a) the excess of the per share fair market value of Pubco Ordinary Shares on the date of exercise over the exercise price, multiplied by (b) the number of shares of common stock with respect to which the stock appreciation right is exercised.

Other Stock Awards. The Compensation Committee may grant other awards based in whole or in part by reference to Pubco Ordinary Shares. The Compensation Committee will set the number of shares under the stock award and all other terms and conditions of such awards.

Cash-Based Awards. A cash-based award is denominated in cash. The Compensation Committee may grant cash-based awards in such number and upon such terms as it shall determine. Payment, if any, will be made in accordance with the terms of the award, and may be made in cash or in shares of common stock, as determined by the Compensation Committee.

Performance-Based Awards. The number of shares or other benefits granted, issued, retainable and/or vested under a stock or stock unit award may be made subject to the attainment of performance goals. The Compensation Committee may utilize any performance criteria selected by it in its sole discretion to establish performance goals.

Changes to Capital Structure. In the event of a recapitalization, stock split, or similar capital transaction, the Compensation Committee will make appropriate and equitable adjustments to the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan, the number of shares that can be issued as incentive stock options, the number of shares subject to outstanding awards and the exercise price under each outstanding option or stock appreciation right.

Transactions. If Pubco is involved in a merger or other reorganization, outstanding awards will be subject to the agreement or merger or reorganization. Subject to compliance with applicable tax laws, such agreement may provide for, without limitation, one or more of the following (a) the continuation of the outstanding awards by Pubco, if Pubco is a surviving corporation, (b) the assumption or substitution of the outstanding awards by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary, (c) immediate vesting, exercisability, and settlement of the outstanding awards followed by their cancellation, (d) cancellation of the awards, to the extent not vested or not exercised prior to the effect time of the transaction, in exchange for such cash or equity consideration (if any) as the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion may consider appropriate, or (e) settlement of the intrinsic value of the outstanding awards (whether or not vested or exercisable) in cash, cash equivalents, or equity (including cash or equity subject to deferred vesting and delivery consistent with the vesting restrictions applicable to such award or the underlying shares) followed by cancellation of such awards, provided that any such amount may be delated to the same extent that payment of consideration to the holders of stock in connection with the transaction is delayed as a result of escrows, earnouts, holdbacks or other contingencies.

190

Change of Control. The Compensation Committee may provide, in an individual award agreement or in any other written agreement between a participant and us, that the stock award will be subject to acceleration of vesting and exercisability in the event of a change of control.

Transferability. Unless the Compensation Committee provides otherwise, no award granted under the Incentive Plan may be transferred in any manner (prior to the vesting and lapse of any and all restrictions applicable to shares issued under such award), except by will, the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a domestic relations order.

Amendment and Termination. The Pubco Board will have the authority to amend, suspend, or terminate the Incentive Plan, provided that such action does not materially impair the existing rights of any participant without such participant’s written consent. No ISOs may be granted after the tenth anniversary of the date the Pubco Board adopted the Incentive Plan.

Recoupment. In the event that Pubco is required to prepare restated financial results owing to an executive officer’s intentional misconduct or grossly negligent conduct, the Compensation Committee will have the authority, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to require reimbursement or forfeiture to Pubco of the amount of bonus or incentive compensation (whether cash-based or equity-based) such executive officer received during the three fiscal years preceding the year the restatement is determined to be required, to the extent that such bonus or incentive compensation exceeds what the officer would have received based on an applicable restated performance measure or target. Pubco will recoup incentive-based compensation from executive officers to the extent required under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules, regulations and listing standards that may be issued under that act.

Certain Federal Income Tax Aspects of Awards Under the Incentive Plan

This is a brief summary of the U.S. federal income tax aspects of awards that may be made under the Incentive Plan based on existing U.S. federal income tax laws. This summary provides only the basic tax rules. It does not describe a number of special tax rules, including the alternative minimum tax and various elections that may be applicable under certain circumstances. It also does not reflect provisions of the income tax laws of any municipality, state or foreign country in which a holder may reside, nor does it reflect the tax consequences of a holder’s death. The tax consequences of awards under the Incentive Plan depend upon the type of award.

Incentive Stock Options. The recipient of an incentive stock option generally will not be taxed upon grant of the option. Federal income taxes are generally imposed only when the Pubco Ordinary Shares from exercised incentive stock options are disposed of, by sale or otherwise. The amount by which the fair market value of the Pubco Ordinary Shares on the date of exercise exceeds the exercise price is, however, included in determining the option recipient’s liability for the alternative minimum tax. If the incentive stock option recipient does not sell or dispose of the Pubco Ordinary Shares until more than one year after the receipt of the shares and two years after the option was granted, then, upon sale or disposition of the shares, the difference between the exercise price and the market value of the shares of Pubco Common Stock as of the date of exercise will be treated as a long-term capital gain. If a recipient fails to hold the shares for the minimum required time, the recipient will recognize ordinary income in the year of disposition generally in an amount equal to any excess of the market value of the Pubco Ordinary Shares on the date of exercise (or, if less, the amount realized or disposition of the shares) over the exercise price paid for the shares. Any further gain (or loss) realized by the recipient generally will be taxed as short-term or long-term gain (or loss) depending on the holding period. Pubco will generally be entitled to a tax deduction at the same time and in the same amount as ordinary income is recognized by the option recipient.

191

Nonstatutory Stock Options. The recipient of stock options not qualifying as incentive stock options generally will not be taxed upon the grant of the option. Federal income taxes are generally due from a recipient of nonstatutory stock options when the stock options are exercised. The excess of the fair market value of the Pubco Ordinary Shares purchased on such date over the exercise price of the option is taxed as ordinary income. Thereafter, the tax basis for the acquired shares is equal to the amount paid for the shares plus the amount of ordinary income recognized by the recipient on exercise. We will generally be entitled to a tax deduction at the same time and in the same amount as ordinary income is recognized by the option recipient by reason of the exercise of the option.

Stock Unit Awards. Recipients who receive stock unit awards will generally recognize ordinary income when they receive shares upon settlement of the awards in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares at that time. We will generally be entitled to a tax deduction at the same time and in the same amount as ordinary income is recognized by the recipient.

Other Awards. Recipients who receive awards of restricted shares subject to a vesting requirement will generally recognize ordinary income at the time vesting occurs in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares at that time minus the amount, if any, paid for the shares. However, a recipient who receives restricted shares which are not vested may, within 30 days of the date the shares are transferred, elect in accordance with Section 83(b) of the Code to recognize ordinary compensation income at the time of transfer of the shares rather than upon the vesting dates. Recipients who receive stock appreciation rights will generally recognize ordinary income upon exercise in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the underlying shares of Pubco Ordinary Shares on the exercise date over the exercise price. Pubco will generally be entitled to a tax deduction at the same time and in the same amount as ordinary income is recognized by the recipient.

New Incentive Plan Benefits

Grants of awards under the Incentive Plan are subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Therefore, it is not possible to determine the future benefits that will be received by these participants under the Incentive Plan.

Registration with the SEC

If the Incentive Plan is approved by Pubco’s stockholders and becomes effective, Pubco intends to file a registration statement on Form S-8 registering the shares reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan as soon as reasonably practicable after Pubco becomes eligible to use such form.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by stockholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting (which would include presence by virtual attendance at the Special Meeting). An abstention will be counted towards the quorum requirement but will not count as a vote cast at the Special Meeting. A broker non-vote will neither be counted towards the quorum requirement (as the Proposals we believe will be considered as non-discretionary) nor count as a vote cast in the Special Meeting.

The approval and adoption of the Incentive Plan Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendments Proposal and the Nasdaq Proposal at the Special Meeting.

The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented to our stockholders in the event that, at the time of the Special Meeting, JWAC is unable to consummate the Business Combination for any reason.

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Adjournment Proposal is presented at the Meeting and is not approved by the stockholders of JWAC, JWAC’s Board may not be able to adjourn the Meeting to a later date in the event, based on the tabulated votes, that there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Meeting to approve the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendments Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal. In such event, the Business Combination may not be completed.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

Subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth herein (including the limitations and qualifications set forth in the opinion attached as Exhibit 8.1), the following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to holders of JWAC Common Stock (which in this section we refer to as “Common Stock”) with respect to (i) an election by the holders of shares of JWAC Common Stock to have JWAC redeem such shares for cash, (ii) the Business Combination and (iii) the post-Business Combination ownership and disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares acquired pursuant to the Business Combination. This summary applies only to holders of Common Stock that hold their shares of Common Stock as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment). This summary is general in nature and does not constitute tax advice. This summary does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that might be relevant to a particular holder of Common Stock in light of such holder’s individual circumstances or status, nor does it address tax consequences applicable to holders of Common Stock subject to special rules, such as:

● dealers in securities or foreign currency;

● broker-dealers;

● traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting;

● tax-exempt organizations;

● financial institutions, banks or trusts;

● mutual funds;

● life insurance companies, real estate investment trusts and regulated investment companies;

● holders that actually or constructively own 10% or more of JWAC’s voting stock;

● holders that hold Common Stock as part of a hedge, straddle, constructive sale, conversion transaction or other integrated investment;

● holders that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar;

● holders that received Common Stock through the exercise of employee stock options, through a tax-qualified retirement plan or otherwise as compensation;

● U.S. expatriates;

● controlled foreign corporations;

●
persons subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to JWAC Common Stock being taken into account in an applicable financial statement;

● passive foreign investment companies; or

● pass-through entities or investors in pass-through entities.

This summary is based on the Code, applicable Treasury regulations thereunder, and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, all as in effect as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, and all of which may change, possibly with retroactive effect. Any such change could impact the conclusions discussed below. This summary does not address U.S. federal taxes other than those pertaining to U.S. federal income taxation (such as estate or gift taxes, the alternative minimum tax or the Medicare tax on investment income), nor does it address any aspects of U.S. state or local or non-U.S. taxation.

JWAC has not and does not intend to seek any rulings from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) regarding the subjects addressed in this summary. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not take positions inconsistent with the consequences discussed below or that any such positions would not be sustained by a court.

194

If a partnership (or any entity or arrangement characterized as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds Common Stock, the tax treatment of such partnership and any person treated as a partner of such partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships that hold Common Stock and persons that are treated as partners of such partnerships should consult their own tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences to them of an exercise of redemption rights or the Business Combination.

ALL HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF AN EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS, THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AND OTHER EVENTS DESCRIBED BELOW, INCLUDING THE EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS.

U.S. Holders

For purposes of this summary, a U.S. Holder means a beneficial owner of Common Stock and/or CVRs that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

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

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

an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

a trust (i) that is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and all substantial decisions of which are controlled by one or more U.S. persons or (ii) that has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of Pubco

Tax Residence of Pubco for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes

Although Pubco is incorporated and tax resident in the Cayman islands, following the closing of the Merger the IRS may assert that it should be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 7874 of the Code. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a corporation is generally considered a U.S. “domestic” corporation if it is created or organized in or under the laws of the U.S., any state thereof, or the District of Columbia. Because Pubco is not so created or organized (but is instead incorporated only in the Cayman Islands), it would generally be classified as a foreign corporation (that is, a corporation other than a U.S. “domestic” corporation) under these rules. Section 7874 of the Code provides an exception under which a corporation created or organized only under foreign law may, in certain circumstances, be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Section 7874 rules are complex and require analysis of all relevant facts, and there is limited guidance and significant uncertainties as to their application.

Under Code Section 7874, a corporation created or organized outside the U.S. (i.e., a foreign corporation) will nevertheless be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes when (i) the foreign corporation directly or indirectly acquires substantially all of the assets held directly or indirectly by a U.S. corporation (including the indirect acquisition of assets of the U.S. corporation by acquiring the outstanding shares of the U.S. corporation), (ii) the shareholders of the acquired U.S. corporation hold, by vote or value, at least 80% of the shares of the foreign acquiring corporation after the acquisition by reason of holding shares in the U.S. acquired corporation (the “Section 7874 Percentage”), and (iii) the foreign corporation’s “expanded affiliated group” does not have substantial business activities in the foreign corporation’s country of creation or organization relative to such expanded affiliated group’s worldwide activities (the “Substantial Business Activities Exception”). In order to satisfy the Substantial Business Activities Exception, at least 25% of the employees (by headcount and compensation), real and tangible assets, and gross income of the foreign acquiring corporation’s “expanded affiliated group” must be based, incurred, located, and derived, respectively, in the country in which the foreign acquiring corporation is created or organized. The Section 7874 Regulations further provide for a number of special rules that aggregate multiple acquisitions of U.S. corporations for purposes of Code Section 7874 that are made as part of a plan or made over a 36-month period, making it more likely that Code Section 7874 will apply to a foreign acquiring corporation.

Pubco will indirectly acquire substantially all of the assets of JWAC through the Merger. As a result, Section 7874 of the Code may apply to cause Pubco to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes following the Merger depending on whether the Section 7874 Percentage equals or exceeds 80%, subject to the applicability of the Substantial Business Activities Exception.

Based upon the terms of the Merger, the rules for determining share ownership under Code Section 7874 and the Section 7874 Regulations, and certain factual assumptions, JWAC and Pubco currently expect that the Section 7874 Percentage of JWAC stockholders in Pubco should be less than 80% after the Merger. Accordingly, Pubco is not expected to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 7874 of the Code. The calculation of the Section 7874 Percentage is complex, is subject to detailed regulations (the application of which is uncertain in various respects and could be impacted by changes in U.S. tax laws and regulations with possible retroactive effect), and is subject to certain factual uncertainties. Whether the Section 7874 Percentage is less than 80% must be finally determined after completion of the Merger, by which time there could be adverse changes to the relevant facts and circumstances. Moreover, former holders of JWAC Common Stock may be deemed to own an amount of Pubco Ordinary Shares in respect to certain redemptions by former holders of JWAC Common Stock prior to the Merger for purposes of determining the ownership percentage of former holders of JWAC Common Stock under Section 7874 of the Code. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the status of Pubco as a foreign corporation under Code Section 7874 or that such challenge would not be sustained by a court.

195

If the IRS were to successfully challenge under Code Section 7874 Pubco’s status as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Pubco and certain Pubco shareholders could be subject to significant adverse tax consequences, including a higher effective corporate income tax rate on Pubco and future withholding taxes on certain Pubco shareholders. In particular, holders of Pubco Ordinary Shares would be treated as holders of stock of a U.S. corporation.

However, even if the Section 7874 Percentage was such that Pubco were still respected as a foreign corporation under Code Section 7874, Pubco may be limited in using its equity to engage in future acquisitions of U.S. corporations over a 36-month period following the Merger. If Pubco were to be treated as acquiring substantially all of the assets of a U.S. corporation within a 36-month period after the Merger, the Section 7874 Regulations would exclude certain shares of Pubco attributable to the Merger for purposes of determining the Section 7874 Percentage of that subsequent acquisition, making it more likely that Code Section 7874 would apply to such subsequent acquisition.

The remainder of this discussion assumes that Pubco will not be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 7874 of the Code.

Utilization of JWAC’s Tax Attributes and Certain Other Adverse Tax Consequences to Pubco and Pubco’s Shareholders.

Following the acquisition of a U.S. corporation by a foreign corporation, Code Section 7874 can limit the ability of the acquired U.S. corporation and its U.S. affiliates to use U.S. tax attributes (including net operating losses and certain tax credits) to offset U.S. taxable income resulting from certain transactions, as well as result in certain other adverse tax consequences, even if the acquiring foreign corporation is respected as a foreign corporation for purposes of Code Section 7874. Specifically, Code Section 7874 can apply in this manner if (i) the foreign corporation acquires, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the properties held directly or indirectly by a U.S. corporation, (ii) after the acquisition, the former shareholders of the acquired U.S. corporation hold at least 60% (by either vote or value) but less than 80% (by vote and value) of the shares of the foreign acquiring corporation by reason of holding shares in the acquired U.S. corporation, and (iii) the foreign corporation’s “expanded affiliated group” does not meet the Substantial Business Activities Exception.

Based upon the terms of the Merger, the rules for determining share ownership under Section 7874 of the Code and the Section 7874 Regulations, and certain factual assumptions, JWAC and Pubco currently expect that the Section 7874 Percentage should be less than 60% after the Merger. Accordingly, the limitations and other rules described above are not expected to apply to Pubco or JWAC after the Merger.

If the Section 7874 Percentage applicable to the Merger is at least 60% but less than 80%, Pubco and certain of Pubco’s shareholders may be subject to adverse tax consequences including, but not limited to, restrictions on the use of tax attributes with respect to “inversion gain” recognized over a 10-year period following the transaction, disqualification of dividends paid from preferential “qualified dividend income” rates, and the requirement that any U.S. corporation owned by Pubco include as “base erosion payments” that may be subject to a minimum U.S. federal income tax any amounts treated as reductions in gross income paid to certain related foreign persons. Furthermore, certain “disqualified individuals” (including officers and directors of a U.S. corporation) may be subject to an excise tax on certain stock-based compensation at a rate of 20%. However, as a blank check company whose assets are primarily comprised of cash and cash equivalents, it is not expected that JWAC will have a significant amount of inversion gain as a result of the Merger.

The determination that the Section 7874 Percentage should be less than 60% after the Merger is subject to detailed regulations (the application of which is uncertain in various respects and would be impacted by future changes in tax laws and regulations, with possible retroactive effect) and is subject to certain factual uncertainties. Whether the Section 7874 Percentage is less than 60% must be finally determined after completion of the Merger, by which time there could be adverse changes to the relevant facts and circumstances. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge whether Pubco is subject to the above rules or that such a challenge would not be sustained by a court. If the IRS successfully applied these rules to Pubco, significant adverse tax consequences could result for Pubco and for certain Pubco shareholders, including a higher effective corporate tax rate on Pubco U.S. Holders.

Redemption of Shares of Common Stock

If the Business Combination takes place in connection with a redemption of Common Stock, we expect that the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder that exercises its redemption rights to receive cash from the Trust Account (which we refer to in this section also as the “Trust Account”) in exchange for all or a portion of its shares of Common Stock will qualify as a sale or exchange of Common Stock under Section 302(a) of the Code. If the redemption qualifies as a sale or exchange of the shares of Common Stock, the U.S. Holder will be treated in the same manner as described under “— U.S. Holders — Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares” below. If the redemption does not qualify as a sale or exchange of shares of Common Stock, the U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution with similar tax consequences to those described below under “— U.S. Holders — Taxation of Distributions on Pubco Ordinary Shares.” Whether the redemption qualifies as a sale or exchange of the shares of Common Stock or is treated as a distribution with respect to the shares of Common Stock will depend on the total amount of Common Stock treated as held by the U.S. Holder (including any shares constructively owned by the U.S. Holder, as discussed below) relative to all of Common Stock outstanding both before and after the redemption (including any shares of Common Stock owned by Pubco after the Business Combination). The redemption of shares of Common Stock will generally be treated as a sale or exchange (rather than as a distribution) if the redemption (i) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. Holder, (ii) results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. Holder’s interest in JWAC or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. Holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests are satisfied, a U.S. Holder generally should take into account not only shares actually owned by such U.S. Holder, but also shares of Common Stock constructively owned by it through Pubco. A U.S. Holder may constructively own, in addition to shares owned directly, shares owned by certain family members of such U.S. Holder (in the case of an individual) and entities in which the U.S. Holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. Holder (if not an individual), as well as any shares the U.S. Holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include shares of Common Stock or Pubco Ordinary Shares, which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Representative Warrants.

196

There will be a complete termination of a U.S. Holder’s interest if either (i) all of the shares of Common Stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed or (ii) all of the shares of Common Stock actually owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed and the U.S. Holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of shares owned by certain family members and the U.S. Holder does not constructively own any other shares. In order to meet the “substantially disproportionate” test, the percentage of outstanding voting stock actually or constructively owned by a U.S. Holder immediately following the redemption generally must be less than 80% of the voting stock actually or constructively owned by such U.S. Holder immediately prior to the redemption (for this purpose, the shares outstanding after the redemption should take into account shares issued by Pubco in the Business Combination). A redemption will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if the redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in JWAC. Whether a redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in JWAC will depend on such holder’s particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction”. A U.S. Holder should consult with its tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a redemption.

If a redemption does not qualify as a sale or exchange, the U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a distribution from JWAC and the tax effects will be as described under “— U.S. Holders — Taxation of Distributions on Pubco Ordinary Shares,” below. After the application of those rules, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. Holder in the redeemed shares of Common Stock will be added to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining shares, or, if it has none, possibly in other shares constructively owned by such U.S. Holder. U.S. Holders of Common Stock are urged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a redemption of all or a portion of their Common Stock pursuant to an exercise of redemption rights.

The Receipt of Pubco Ordinary Shares in the Business Combination

The surrender by a U.S. Holder of the shares of Common Stock in exchange for the Pubco Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Business Combination, when taken together with the other steps of the Business Combination, should qualify as a non-recognition transaction pursuant to Section 351(a) of the Code. However, the provisions of Section 351(a) of the Code are complex and qualification as a non-recognition transaction thereunder could be adversely affected by events or actions that occur following the Business Combination that are beyond our control.

Provided that the Business Combination qualifies as an exchange pursuant to Section 351(a), the aggregate adjusted tax basis of the Pubco Ordinary Shares received by a U.S. Holder in the Business Combination should be equal to the aggregate adjusted tax basis of the shares of Common Stock surrendered by such U.S. Holder in the Business Combination. In addition, the holding period of such Pubco Ordinary Shares should include the period during which the shares of Common Stock, surrendered in the Business Combination, were held by such U.S. Holder, although the running of the holding period for the shares of Common Stock may be suspended as a result of any redemption rights with respect thereto.

In the event that the Business Combination does not qualify as a non-recognition transaction pursuant to Section 351 of the Code, generally, the Business Combination will be treated as a taxable sale or exchange of Common Stock by U.S. Holders in exchange for Pubco Ordinary Shares. In such case, subject to the discussion of backup withholding below, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of Common Stock. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period in the shares of Common Stock exceeds one year. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses realized by a U.S. Holder on a taxable sale or exchange of Common Stock is subject to certain limitations.

Generally the amount of gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder on a taxable sale or exchange of Common Stock pursuant to the Business Combination will be an amount equal to the difference between (i) the fair market value of the Pubco Ordinary Shares received by the U.S. Holder in the Business Combination and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in Common Stock surrendered thereof. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares of Common Stock generally will equal the U.S. Holder’s acquisition cost of such shares, reduced by any prior distributions with respect to such shares treated as a return of basis.

The CVRs are intended to represent a deferred payment obligation under the Code, and as a result recipients of the CVRs would recognize imputed interest income at the time of receipt of any additional Pubco ordinary shares pursuant to the CVRs based on discounting at the applicable federal rate at the time of receipt back to the date of the Business Combination. However, except for such imputed interest, and subject to the following paragraph, if the CVRs are treated as a deferred payment obligation, U.S. Holders will generally not recognize gain or loss upon the receipt of such CVRs and any additional Pubco ordinary shares pursuant to the CVRs.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, there is a material possibility that the IRS could successfully challenge the intended tax treatment of the issuance of the CVRs and any additional Pubco ordinary shares pursuant to the CVRs. If so , then the receipt of the CVRs by U.S. Holders could result in the recognition of gain by such U.S. Holders up to the fair market value of such CVRs (but in no event greater than the amount of gain such U.S. Holders would recognize if the U.S. Holders sold their ordinary shares for their fair market value). The balance of this discussion assumes that the intended tax treatment of the issuance of the CVRs will be respected.

197

We did not obtain a ruling from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination, including the tax consequences described herein, and no assurance can be given that the IRS will agree with the views expressed herein, or that a court will not sustain any challenge by the IRS with respect to conclusions expressed herein in the event of litigation.

Taxation of Distributions on Pubco Ordinary Shares

After the Business Combination, Pubco may make distributions with respect to its stock Subject to the discussion below under “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules,” a U.S. Holder generally will be required to include in gross income as dividends the amount of any distribution (except certain distributions of common stock or rights to acquire common stock) paid on the Pubco Ordinary Shares. A distribution on such shares generally will be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent the distribution is paid out of Pubco’s current and/or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). A portion of any such dividends paid to corporate U.S. Holders generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. Dividends paid to a non-corporate U.S. Holder generally will constitute “qualified dividend income” within the meaning of Section 1(h)(11) of the Code, and provided certain requirements are met, such dividend will be subject to tax at the maximum tax rate accorded to long-term capital gains.

Non-corporate U.S. Holders that do not meet a minimum holding period requirement or that elect to treat the dividend income as “investment income” pursuant to Section 163(d)(4) of the Code (dealing with the deduction for investment interest expense) will not be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation applicable to qualified dividend income. In addition, the rate reduction will not apply to dividends if the recipient of a dividend is obligated to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property. This disallowance applies even if the minimum holding period has been met.

Distributions in excess of Pubco’s current and accumulated earnings and profits generally will be applied against and reduce the U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares of Pubco (but not below zero), and any excess will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such shares as described below under “— U.S. Holders — Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares.”

Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares

After the Business Combination, U.S. Holders of Pubco Ordinary Shares may sell or dispose of their Pubco Ordinary Shares. Subject to the discussion below under “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules,” upon a sale or other taxable disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common stock.

Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period in the Pubco Ordinary Shares exceeds one year. It is unclear, however, whether the redemption rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock described in this proxy statement/prospectus may suspend the running of the applicable holding period with respect to the shares of Common Stock for this purpose. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses realized by a U.S. Holder on a sale or other taxable disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares is subject to certain limitations.

Generally, the amount of gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder on a sale or other taxable disposition of the Pubco Ordinary Shares is an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received in such sale or disposition and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the applicable Pubco Ordinary Shares so sold or disposed. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Pubco Ordinary Shares generally will equal the U.S. Holder’s acquisition cost of such shares, subject to the discussion in “— U.S. Holders — The Receipt of Pubco Ordinary Shares in the Business Combination” above.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

The treatment of U.S. Holders of Pubco Ordinary Shares could be materially different from that described above, if Pubco is treated as a “passive foreign investment company,” or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. An entity treated as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally will be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year if either:

●

at least 75% of its gross income for such year is passive income (such as interest, dividends, rents and royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of assets giving rise to passive income); or

●

at least 50% of the value of its assets (based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets) during such year is attributable to assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income.

For this purpose, Pubco will be treated as owning its proportionate share of the assets and earning its proportionate share of the income of any other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes in which Pubco own, directly or indirectly, 25% or more (by value) of the stock.

198

Based on the current and anticipated composition of the income, assets and operations of Pubco and its subsidiaries, Pubco does not believe it will be treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for its current taxable year, which includes the Merger, and does not expect to become one for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the near future,

Nevertheless, whether Pubco is treated as a PFIC is determined on an annual basis. The determination of whether a non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC is a factual determination that depends on, among other things, the composition of Pubco’s income and assets, and the market value of its shares and assets, including the composition of income and assets and the market value of shares and assets of its subsidiaries, from time to time, and thus the determination can only be made annually after the close of each taxable year. Thus, no assurance can be given as to whether Pubco will be a PFIC in 2022 or for any future taxable year. In addition, neither JWAC’s nor Pubco’s respective U.S. counsel expresses any opinion with respect to Pubco’s PFIC status for 2022 or future taxable years.

Under the PFIC rules, if Pubco were considered a PFIC at any time that a U.S. Holder owns Pubco Ordinary Shares, Pubco would generally continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such holder in a particular year unless (i) Pubco has ceased to be a PFIC and (ii) (a) the U.S. Holder has made a valid “QEF election” (as described below) for the first taxable year in which the holder owned such holder’s Pubco Ordinary Shares in which Pubco was a PFIC, (b) a valid mark-to-market election (as described below) is in effect for the particular year, or (c) the U.S. Holder has made a “deemed sale” election under the PFIC rules. If such a “deemed sale” election is made, a U.S. Holder will be deemed to have sold its Pubco Ordinary Shares at their fair market value on the last day of the last taxable year in which Pubco is classified as a PFIC, and any gain from such deemed sale would be subject to the consequences described below. After the “deemed sale” election, the Pubco Ordinary Shares with respect to which the “deemed sale” election was made will not be treated as shares in a PFIC unless Pubco subsequently becomes a PFIC.

For each taxable year that Pubco is treated as a PFIC with respect to a U.S. Holder’s Pubco Ordinary Shares, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special tax rules with respect to any “excess distribution” (as defined below) received and any gain realized from a sale or disposition (including a pledge of Pubco Ordinary Shares and under proposed regulations certain transfers of Pubco Ordinary Shares that would otherwise qualify as nonrecognition transactions for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of its Pubco Ordinary Shares (collectively the “excess distribution rules”), unless, with respect to the Pubco Ordinary Shares, the U.S. Holder makes a valid QEF or mark-to-market election as discussed below. Generally, distributions received by a U.S. Holder in a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such U.S. Holder during the shorter of the three preceding taxable years or the portion of such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Pubco Ordinary Shares that preceded the taxable year of the distribution will be treated as excess distributions. Under these special tax rules:

	●	the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Pubco Ordinary Shares;

	●	the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the U.S. Holder recognized the gain or received the excess distribution or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holding period before the first day of Pubco’s first taxable year in which Pubco is a PFIC, will be treated as ordinary income; and

	●	the amount allocated to each other taxable year (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in such holder’s holding period will be subject to the highest tax rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as applicable, for each such year without regard to the U.S. Holder’s other items of income and loss for such year; and

	●	the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the U.S. Holder with respect to the resulting tax attributable to each such year.

Under the excess distribution rules, the tax liability for amounts allocated to taxable years prior to the year of disposition or excess distribution cannot be offset by any net operating losses, and gains (but not losses) realized on the sale of the Pubco Ordinary Shares cannot be treated as capital gains, even though the U.S. Holder holds the Pubco Ordinary Shares as capital assets.

Certain of the PFIC rules may impact U.S. Holders with respect to equity interests in subsidiaries and other entities which Pubco may hold, directly or indirectly, that are PFICs (collectively, “Lower-Tier PFICs”). There can be no assurance, however, that Pubco does not own, or will not in the future acquire, an interest in a subsidiary or other entity that is or would be treated as a Lower-Tier PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to any of Pubco’s subsidiaries.

199

If Pubco is a PFIC, a U.S. Holder of shares in Pubco may avoid taxation under the excess distribution rules described above in respect to the Pubco Ordinary Shares by making a timely and valid “qualified electing fund” (“QEF”) election (if eligible to do so). However, a U.S. Holder may make a QEF election with respect to its Pubco Ordinary Shares only if Pubco provides U.S. Holders on an annual basis with certain financial information specified under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, including the information provided in a PFIC Annual Information Statement. There can be no assurance, however, that Pubco will have timely knowledge of its status as a PFIC in the future or that Pubco will timely provide such information for such years. The failure to provide such information on an annual basis could prevent a U.S. Holder from making a QEF election or result in the invalidation or termination of a U.S. Holder’s prior QEF election.

A U.S. Holder that makes a QEF election with respect to its Pubco Ordinary Shares would generally be required to include in income for each year that Pubco is treated as a PFIC the U.S. Holder’s pro rata share of Pubco’s ordinary earnings for the year (which would be subject to tax as ordinary income) and net capital gains for the year (which would be subject to tax at the rates applicable to long-term capital gains), without regard to the amount of any distributions made in respect of the Pubco Ordinary Shares. Any net deficits or net capital losses of Pubco for a taxable year, however, would not be passed through and included on the tax return of the U.S. Holder. A U.S. Holder’s basis in the Pubco Ordinary Shares would be increased by the amount of income inclusions under the QEF rules. Dividends actually paid on the Pubco Ordinary Shares generally would not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent of prior income inclusions and would reduce the U.S. Holder’s basis in the Pubco Ordinary Shares by a corresponding amount. If Pubco owns any interests in a Lower-Tier PFIC, a U.S. Holder generally must make a separate QEF election for each Lower-Tier PFIC, subject to Pubco’s providing the relevant tax information for each Lower-Tier PFIC on an annual basis. There can be no assurance that Pubco will have timely knowledge of the status of any such Lower-Tier PFIC. In addition, Pubco may not hold a controlling interest in any such Lower-Tier PFIC and thus there can be no assurance Pubco will be able to cause the Lower-Tier PFIC to provide such required information.

If a U.S. Holder does not make a QEF election effective from the first taxable year of a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Pubco Ordinary Shares in which Pubco is a PFIC (or a mark-to-market election, as discussed below), then the U.S. Holder generally will remain subject to the excess distribution rules. A U.S. Holder that first makes a QEF election in a later year may avoid the continued application of the excess distribution rules to its Pubco Ordinary Shares by making a “deemed sale” election. In that case, the U.S. Holder will be deemed to have sold the Pubco Ordinary Shares at their fair market value on the first day of the taxable year in which the QEF election becomes effective, and any gain from such deemed sale would be subject to the excess distribution rules described above. As a result of the “deemed sale” election, the U.S. Holder will have additional basis (to the extent of any gain recognized on the deemed sale) and, solely for purposes of the PFIC rules, a new holding period in the Pubco Ordinary Shares.

The QEF election is made on a shareholder-by-shareholder basis and, once made, can be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. A U.S. Holder that is eligible to make a QEF election with respect to its Pubco Ordinary Shares generally may do so by providing the appropriate information to the IRS in the U.S. Holder’s timely filed tax return for the year in which the election becomes effective. Retroactive QEF elections generally may be made only by filing a protective statement with such return and if certain other conditions are met or with the consent of the IRS. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a retroactive QEF election under their particular circumstances.

Alternatively, if Pubco is a PFIC and Pubco Ordinary Shares constitute “marketable stock” (as defined below), a U.S. Holder may make a mark-to-market election for such holder’s Pubco Ordinary Shares with respect to such shares for the first taxable year in which it holds (or is deemed to hold) Pubco Ordinary Shares and each subsequent taxable year to elect out of the excess distribution rules discussed above. If a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election with respect to its Pubco Ordinary Shares, such U.S. Holder generally will include in income for each year that Pubco is treated as a PFIC with respect to such Pubco Ordinary Shares an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Pubco Ordinary Shares as of the close of the U.S. Holder’s taxable year over the adjusted basis in the Pubco Ordinary Shares as of the beginning of such taxable year. A U.S. Holder will be allowed a deduction for the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of the Pubco Ordinary Shares over their fair market value as of the close of the taxable year. However, deductions will be allowed only to the extent of any net mark-to-market gains on the Pubco Ordinary Shares included in the U.S. Holder’s income for prior taxable years. Amounts included in income under a mark-to-market election, as well as gain on the actual sale or other disposition of the Pubco Ordinary Shares, will be treated as ordinary income. Ordinary loss treatment will also apply to the deductible portion of any mark-to-market loss on the Pubco Ordinary Shares, as well as to any loss realized on the actual sale or disposition of the Pubco Ordinary Shares, to the extent the amount of such loss does not exceed the net mark-to-market gains for such Pubco Ordinary Shares previously included in income. A U.S. Holder’s basis in the Pubco Ordinary Shares will be adjusted to reflect any mark-to-market gain or loss. If a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election, any distributions Pubco makes would generally be subject to the rules discussed above under “— Distributions on Pubco Ordinary Shares,” except the lower rates applicable to qualified dividend income would not apply.

200

The mark-to-market election is available only for “marketable stock,” which is stock that is regularly traded on a qualified exchange or other market, as defined in applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. The Pubco Ordinary Shares, which are expected to be listed on Nasdaq, are expected to qualify as marketable stock for purposes of the PFIC rules, but there can be no assurance that Pubco Ordinary Shares will be “regularly traded” for purposes of these rules. If made, a mark-to-market election would be effective for the taxable year for which the election was made and for all subsequent taxable years unless Pubco Ordinary Shares cease to qualify as “marketable stock” for purposes of the PFIC rules or the IRS consents to the revocation of the election. Because a mark-to-market election cannot be made for equity interests in any Lower-Tier PFICs, a U.S. Holder that does not make the applicable QEF elections generally will continue to be subject to the excess distribution rules with respect to its indirect interest in any Lower-Tier PFICs as described above, even if a mark-to-market election is made for Pubco Ordinary Shares.

If a U.S. Holder does not make a mark-to-market election (or a QEF election, as discussed above) effective from the first taxable year of a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Pubco Ordinary Shares in which Pubco is a PFIC, then the U.S. Holder generally will remain subject to the excess distribution rules. A U.S. Holder that first makes a mark-to-market election with respect to the Pubco Ordinary Shares in a later year will continue to be subject to the excess distribution rules during the taxable year for which the mark-to-market election becomes effective, including with respect to any mark-to-market gain recognized at the end of that year. In subsequent years for which a valid mark-to-mark election remains in effect, the excess distribution rules generally will not apply. A U.S. Holder that is eligible to make a mark-to-market with respect to such holder’s Pubco Ordinary Shares may do so by providing the appropriate information on IRS Form 8621 and timely filing that form with the U.S. Holder’s tax return for the year in which the election becomes effective.

U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors as to the availability and desirability of a mark-to-market election, as well as the impact of such election on interests in any Lower-Tier PFICs.

A U.S. Holder of a PFIC may be required to file an IRS Form 8621 on an annual basis and to provide such other information as may be required by the U.S. Treasury Department. Failure to do so, if required, will extend the statute of limitations applicable to such U.S. Holder until such required information is furnished to the IRS. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any reporting requirements that may apply to them if Pubco is a PFIC.

The rules dealing with PFICs and with the QEF, “deemed sale,” and mark-to-market elections are very complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. U.S. Holders are strongly encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to their particular circumstances.

201

Non-U.S. Holders

For purposes of this summary, a non-U.S. Holder means a beneficial owner of Common Stock that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, neither a U.S. Holder nor an entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Redemption of Shares of Common Stock

The U.S. federal income tax consequences to a non-U.S. Holder that exercises its redemption rights to receive cash from the Trust Account in exchange for all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock generally will depend on the U.S. federal income tax characterization of such redemption as a sale or distribution, as described above under “— U.S. Holders — Redemption of Shares of Common Stock.” If the redemption qualifies as a sale or exchange of the shares of Common Stock, the non-U.S. Holder will be treated in the same manner as described under “— Non-U.S. Holders — Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares” below. If the redemption is treated as a distribution with respect to the shares of Common Stock, the non-U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution with similar tax consequences to those described below under “— Non-U.S. Holders — Taxation of Distributions on Pubco Ordinary Shares.”

Non-U.S. Holders of Common Stock are urged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a redemption of all or a portion of their Common Stock pursuant to an exercise of redemption rights.

The Receipt of Pubco Ordinary Shares in the Business Combination

The U.S. federal income tax consequences to the non-U.S. Holders as a result of the Business Combination generally are the same as to the U.S. Holders as described above in section entitled “— U.S. Holders — The Receipt of Pubco Ordinary Shares in the Business Combination.” However, different U.S. federal income tax consequences will apply to the non-U.S. Holders as a result of the Business Combination if JWAC is a “United States real property holding corporation” within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) (“USRPHC”) at any time during the lesser of (i) the five-year period ending on the date the Business Combination occurs and (ii) the period during which the non-U.S. Holders held the shares of Common Stock ending on the date the Business Combination occurs. Generally, if JWAC is a USRPHC during the lesser of the two time periods described above, a non-U.S. Holder’s gain (or loss) realized on its transfer of the shares of Common Stock in exchange for the shared of Pubco Ordinary Shares would be subject to tax in the United States in the same manner as if such non-U.S. Holder was engaged in a trade or business within the United States and such gain (or loss) was effectively connected with the conduct of such trade or business, unless certain exceptions apply. JWAC does not believe that it has been or will be a USRPHC, but there can be no assurance in this regard. Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding JWAC status as a USRPHC and the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination to them if JWAC is a USRPHC.

●

the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the non-U.S. Holder within the United States (or, under certain income tax treaties, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. Holder), in which case the non-U.S. Holder will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax on that gain on a net income basis in the same manner as if the non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. person as defined under the Code (see the discussion above entitled “— U.S. Holders — The Receipt of Pubco Ordinary Shares in the Business Combination” in the event the Business Combination does not qualify for Section 351), and a corporate non-U.S. Holder may be subject to the branch profits tax at a 30% rate (or lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty);

202

	●	the non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year in which the Business Combination occurs and certain other conditions are met, in which case the non-U.S. Holder will be subject to a 30% tax on the amount by which its capital gains allocable to U.S. sources, including gain from the taxable sale or exchange of Common Stock pursuant to the Business Combination, exceeds any capital losses allocable to U.S. sources, except as otherwise required by an applicable income tax treaty; or

	●	JWAC is or has been a USRPHC at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the Business Combination or the period that the non-U.S. Holder held such securities disposed of, and, in the case where shares of Common Stock are regularly traded on an established securities market, the non-U.S. Holder has owned, directly or constructively, more than 5% of Common Stock at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the Business Combination or such non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares of Common Stock.

With respect to the third bullet point above (if applicable to a particular non-U.S. Holder), gain recognized by such non-U.S. Holder on the taxable sale or exchange of Common Stock pursuant to the Business Combination will be subject to tax on net basis at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, Pubco Ordinary Shares would be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 15% of the amount realized by such non-U.S. Holder. There can be no assurance that Common Stock will be treated as regularly traded on an established securities market. JWAC does not believe that it has been or will be a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes but there can be no assurance in this regard.

Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares

After the Business Combination, non-U.S. Holders of Pubco Ordinary Shares may sell or dispose of their Pubco Ordinary Shares. Subject to the discussion of backup withholding and FATCA below, any gain realized by a non-U.S. Holder on the taxable disposition of the Pubco Ordinary Shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless:

	●	the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the non-U.S. Holder within the United States (or, under certain income tax treaties, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. Holder), in which case the non-U.S. Holder will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax on that gain on a net income basis in the same manner as if the non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. person as defined under the Code (see the discussion above entitled “— U.S. Holders — Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Pubco Ordinary Shares”), and a corporate non-U.S. Holder may be subject to the branch profits tax at a 30% rate (or lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty);

	●	the non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year in which the sale or other taxable disposition of the Pubco Ordinary Shares occurs and certain other conditions are met, in which case the non-U.S. Holder will be subject to a 30% tax on the amount by which its capital gains allocable to U.S. sources, including gain from the sale or other taxable disposition of the Pubco Ordinary Shares, exceeds any capital losses allocable to U.S. sources, except as otherwise required by an applicable income tax treaty; or

	●	Pubco is or has been a USRPHC at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of sale or other disposition (whether taxable or not) or the period that the non-U.S. Holder held such securities disposed of, and, in the case where Pubco Ordinary Shares are regularly traded on an established securities market, the non-U.S. Holder has owned, directly or constructively, more than 5% of the common stock of Pubco at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the sale or other disposition or such non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Pubco Ordinary Shares.

203

With respect to the third bullet point above (if applicable to a particular non-U.S. Holder), gain recognized by such non-U.S. Holder on the sale or other taxable disposition of the Pubco Ordinary Shares will be subject to tax on net basis at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, a purchaser of Pubco Ordinary Shares from such non-U.S. Holder would be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 15% of the amount realized by such non-U.S. holder. There can be no assurance that Pubco Ordinary Shares will be treated as regularly traded on an established securities market. Pubco does not believe that it has been or will be a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes but there can be no assurance in this regard.

Information Reporting Requirements and Backup Withholding

Information returns will be filed with the IRS in connection with the redemption of Common Stock. A non-U.S. Holder may have to comply with certification procedures to establish that it is not a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise establish an exemption in order to avoid information reporting and backup withholding requirements or to claim a reduced rate of withholding under an applicable income tax treaty. For example, a non-U.S. Holder who is an individual may be required to provide a valid IRS Form W-8BEN, a non-U.S. Holder that is an entity may be required to provide a valid IRS Form W-8BEN-E, and, in the event of income treated as effectively connected to a U.S. trade or business, a non-U.S. Holder (whether an individual or an entity) may be required to provide a valid IRS Form W-8ECI. A U.S. Holder may also be subject to backup withholding and may be required to provide certain certification that it is a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes in order to avoid such backup withholding. For example, a U.S. Holder may be required to provide a valid IRS Form W-9. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a holder will be allowed as a credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that the required information is furnished by such holder to the IRS in a timely manner.

Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and the Treasury regulations and administrative guidance promulgated thereunder (commonly referred to as the “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act” or “FATCA”) generally impose withholding at a rate of 30% in certain circumstances on certain “withholdable payments” in respect of securities which are held by or through certain foreign financial institutions (including investment funds), unless any such institution (i) enters into, and complies with, an agreement with the IRS to report, on an annual basis, information with respect to interests in, and accounts maintained by, the institution that are owned by certain U.S. persons and by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly or partially owned by U.S. persons and to withhold on certain payments, or (ii) if required under an intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country, reports such information to its local tax authority, which will exchange such information with the U.S. authorities. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify these requirements. For this purpose, with holdable payments generally include U.S.-source payments otherwise subject to nonresident withholding tax (e.g., a U.S. source dividend) and also include the entire gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of stock of U.S. corporations, even if the payment would otherwise not be subject to U.S. nonresident withholding tax (e.g., because it is capital gain). The IRS recently issued proposed Treasury Regulations that would eliminate the application of this regime with respect to payments of gross proceeds from dispositions of stock (but not dividends). Pursuant to these proposed Treasury Regulations, the corporation and any other withholding agent may (but are not required to) rely on the proposed change to FATCA withholding until final regulations are issued or until such proposed regulations are rescinded. Accordingly, the entity through which shares of Common Stock are held will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. Similarly, “withholdable payments” (e.g., dividends) in respect of, Common Stock held by an investor that is a non-financial non-U.S. entity that does not qualify under certain exceptions will generally be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%, unless such entity either (i) certifies to the applicable withholding agent that such entity does not have any “substantial United States owners” or (ii) provides certain information regarding the entity’s “substantial United States owners”, which will in turn be provided to the U.S. Department of Treasury. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA on their investment in Common Stock.

INFORMATION ABOUT JWAC

Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in this section to “we,” “our,” “us” and other similar terms refer to JWAC before the Business Combination.

Overview; Incorporation and History

We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on September 14, 2021 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our business combination using cash from the proceeds of the initial public offering and the sale of the private units, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

All activity through the date of this proxy statement/prospectus relates to our formation, initial public offering, and search for a prospective initial business combination.

Fair Market Value of Target Business

The rules of the Nasdaq and the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation require that JWAC’s initial business combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for the payment of taxes and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in trust). The JWAC Board determined that this test was met in connection with the proposed Business Combination.

Stockholder Approval of Business Combination

JWAC is seeking stockholder approval of the Business Combination at the special meeting, at which stockholders may elect to redeem their shares, regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the Business Combination Proposal, into their pro rata portion of the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us (net of taxes payable). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination will be consummated only if we have met the Minimum Cash Condition of at least $10,000,000 upon the Closing, and other customary closing conditions, unless such conditions are waived in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, and the Condition Precedent Proposals have been approved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such public stockholder or any other person with whom such public stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public stockholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

In a letter agreement dated September 20, 2021, our Sponsor, officers and directors also have agreed to vote any founder shares and placement shares held by them and any public shares they may acquire during or after this offering (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of our initial business combination. If we submit the Business Combination to our public stockholders for a vote at the Special Meeting, we will complete the Business Combination, subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and approval of the Proposals to the extent described in this proxy statement/prospectus, only if a majority of the then outstanding shares of our Common Stock present and entitled to vote at the meeting to approve the initial business combination are voted in favor of the initial business combination. Our Sponsor, JWAC Initial Stockholders, and our directors and officers have agreed to vote all of their founder shares and all of their shares of Class A Common Stock (including, but not limited to, shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the placement units) in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. As a result, we may need as few as only 183,751, or approximately 1.33%, of the 13,800,000 of our public shares, to be voted in favor of the Advisory Charter Amendments Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal), and as few as 4,722,501, or approximately 34.22% of our 13,800,000 public shares, to be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the Charter Amendments Proposal, in order to have our Business Combination approved.

206

At any time at or prior to the Business Combination, subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material nonpublic information), the Sponsor, the existing Chijet Holders or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may (i) purchase public shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the Condition Precedent Proposals, or elect to redeem, or indicate an intention to redeem, public shares, (ii) execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or (ii) enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares, vote their public shares in favor of the Condition Precedent Proposals or not redeem their public shares. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such stockholder, although still the record holder of JWAC’s shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor, the existing Chijet Holders or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors, or respective affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of (1) satisfaction of the requirement that the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendments Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal by a requisite vote of our stockholders, (2) otherwise limiting the number of public shares electing to redeem and (3) JWAC having met the Minimum Cash Condition of at least $10 million.

Liquidation if No Business Combination

If JWAC has not completed the Business Combination with Pubco by March 9, 2023 (unless otherwise extended in accordance with our certificate of incorporation) and has not completed another business combination by such date, JWAC will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem its public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest will be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of JWAC’s remaining stockholders and its board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to its obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Our Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us, dated December 6, 2021, pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares, placement shares and public shares held by them in connection with the completion of our initial business combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares, placement shares and public shares held by them in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or certain amendments to our charter prior thereto or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 12 months from the closing of this offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any founder shares and placement shares held by them if we fail to complete our initial business combination within 12 months from the closing of this offering (or up to 18 months from the closing of this offering if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination, as described in more detail in this prospectus), 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 our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame.

JWAC expects that all costs and expenses associated with implementing its plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts held outside the Trust Account, although it cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. However, if those funds are not sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing JWAC’s plan of dissolution, to the extent that there is any interest accrued in the Trust Account not required to pay taxes, JWAC may request the trustee to release to us an additional amount of up to $50,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.

The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to the claims of JWAC’s creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of JWAC’s public stockholders. JWAC cannot assure you that the actual per-share redemption amount received by public stockholders will not be substantially less than $10.00. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination and JWAC — If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share (which was the offering price per unit in our initial public offering)” and other risk factors contained herein. While JWAC intend to pay such amounts, if any, JWAC cannot assure you that JWAC will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.

207

If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share (which was the offering price per unit in our initial public offering)” and other risk factors contained herein.

JWAC will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than JWAC’s independent auditors), prospective target businesses and other entities with which JWAC does business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. The Sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims under JWAC’s indemnity of the underwriters of the initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

If JWAC files a winding-up or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary winding-up or bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable insolvency law, and may be included in JWAC’s insolvency estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of JWAC’s stockholders. To the extent any insolvency claims deplete the Trust Account, JWAC cannot assure you JWAC will be able to return $10.00 per share to JWAC’s public stockholders. Additionally, if JWAC files a winding-up or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary winding-up or bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or insolvency laws as a voidable performance. As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by JWAC’s stockholders. Furthermore, the JWAC Board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to JWAC’s creditors or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and us to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. JWAC cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination and JWAC — If, after we distribute the proceeds in the Trust Account to our public stockholders, JWAC files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds, and we and our board of directors may be exposed to claims of punitive damages.”

JWAC’s public stockholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only upon the earliest to occur of: (1) JWAC’s completion of an initial business combination, and then only in connection with those shares of JWAC Common Stock that such stockholder properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described herein; (2) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of JWAC’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with JWAC’s initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if JWAC does not complete JWAC’s initial business combination by that applicable date (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity; and (3) the redemption of the public shares if JWAC has not completed an initial business combination by the March 9, 2023 (or such later date as may be extended by means of a further contribution to the Trust Account in accordance with the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation or amendment to such certificate), subject to applicable law. In no other circumstances will a stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the Trust Account.

Competition

If JWAC succeeds in effecting the Business Combination, there will be, in all likelihood, significant competition from Chijet’s competitors. JWAC cannot assure you that, subsequent to the Business Combination, the Combined Company will have the resources or ability to compete effectively. Information regarding Chijet’s competition is set forth in the sections entitled “Information about Chijet — Competition.”

Human Capital/Employees

JWAC currently has two executive officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to JWAC matters but they intend to devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed our initial business combination. The amount of time they will devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for our initial business combination and the stage of the business combination process JWAC is in. For more information about our executive officers, see “JWAC’s Management.”

Properties

Our executive offices are located at 1061 E. Indiantown Road, Suite 110, Jupiter, Florida 33477, and its telephone number is (561) 244-7100. The cost for our use of this space is included in the $100 per month fee we pay to an affiliate of our Sponsor for office space, administrative and shared personnel support services. We consider our current office space adequate for our current operations.

Legal Proceedings

To the knowledge of our management team, there is no litigation currently pending or contemplated against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such or against any of our property, except as described below.

We recently received a subpoena from the SEC seeking various documents regarding, among other things, meetings of our Board of Directors; communications with and the evaluation of potential targets, including Chijet; communications relating to Chijet; agreements with certain advisors and affiliates; and documents sufficient to identify banking, telephone, and email addresses. At this time, neither JWAC, Pubco nor Chijet appear to be a focus of the SEC’s investigation. Additionally, according to the subpoena, the existence of an investigation does not mean that the SEC has concluded that anyone violated the law or that the SEC has a negative opinion of any person, entity, or security. To the extent that we become a focus of the SEC’s investigation, any resolution of the investigation, could result in the imposition of significant penalties, or injunctions, prohibitions on the conduct of our business, damage to our reputation and other sanctions against us, including restrictions on our activities.

Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors

We have five directors. Our board of directors is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual meeting of stockholders) serving a three-year term. In accordance with Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, we are not required to hold an annual meeting until one year after our first fiscal year end following our listing on Nasdaq. The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting of N. Adele Hogan, Andy Goren and Robert D. Allison will expire at our first annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting of Brian S. Jones and Hans Haywood, will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that our board of directors may be removed with cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of our outstanding stock.

Our officers are appointed by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Our board of directors is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our bylaws as it deems appropriate. Our bylaws provide that our officers may consist of a Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Vice Presidents, Secretary, Treasurer, Assistant Secretaries and such other offices as may be determined by the board of directors.

210

Director Independence

Currently, Mr. Allison, Mr. Haywood, Mrs. Hogan and Mrs. Kaufman would each be considered an “independent director” under the Nasdaq listing rules, which is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship, which, in the opinion of our Board would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Our independent directors conduct regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

Any affiliated transactions will be on terms no less favorable to us than could be obtained from independent parties. Our Board reviews and approves all affiliated transactions with any interested director abstaining from such review and approval.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our board of directors has two standing committees: an audit committee and a compensation committee. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, Nasdaq rules and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors, and Nasdaq rules require that the compensation committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors. Each committee operates under a charter that complies with Nasdaq rules, has been approved by our board of directors and has the composition and responsibilities described below.

Audit Committee

Our audit committee consists of Hans Haywood, Adele Hogan and Nancy Torres Kaufman, each of whom is an independent director under applicable Nasdaq listing standards. Hans Haywood has been appointed chair of the audit committee. The audit committee’s duties, which are specified in our Audit Committee Charter, include, but are not limited to:

	●	the appointment, compensation, retention, replacement, and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm engaged by us;

	●	pre-approving all audit and permitted non-audit services to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm engaged by us, and establishing pre-approval policies and procedures;

	●	setting clear hiring policies for employees or former employees of the independent registered public accounting firm, including but not limited to, as required by applicable laws and regulations;

	●	setting clear policies for audit partner rotation in compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

	●	obtaining and reviewing a report, at least annually, from the independent registered public accounting firm describing (i) the independent registered public accounting firm’s internal quality-control procedures, (ii) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the audit firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities within the preceding five years respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm and any steps taken to deal with such issues and (iii) all relationships between the independent registered public accounting firm and us to assess the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence;

	●	reviewing and approving any related party transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC prior to us entering into such transaction; and

	●	reviewing with management, the independent registered public accounting firm, and our legal advisors, as appropriate, any legal, regulatory or compliance matters, including any correspondence with regulators or government agencies and any employee complaints or published reports that raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies and any significant changes in accounting standards or rules promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC or other regulatory authorities.

211

Financial Experts on Audit Committee

Our audit committee will at all times be composed exclusively of “independent directors” who are “financially literate” as defined under applicable Nasdaq listing standards. Nasdaq’s standards define “financially literate” as being able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement.

In addition, we must certify to Nasdaq that the committee has, and will continue to have, at least one member who has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or other comparable experience or background that results in the individual’s financial sophistication. The Board has determined that Hans Hayward qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under rules and regulations of the SEC.

Compensation Committee

Our compensation committee consists of Hans Haywood and Adele Hogan, each of whom is an independent director under applicable Nasdaq listing standards. The compensation committee’s duties, which are specified in our compensation committee charter, include, but are not limited to:

	●	reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, if any is paid by us, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation;

	●	reviewing and approving on an annual basis the compensation, if any is paid by us, of all of our other officers;

	●	reviewing on an annual basis our executive compensation policies and plans;

	●	implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;

	●	assisting management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;

	●	approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our officers and employees;

	●	if required, producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and

	●	reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than the payment to an affiliate of our Sponsor of $100 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support, no compensation of any kind, including finders, consulting or other similar fees, will be paid to any of our existing stockholders, officers, directors or any of their respective affiliates, prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate the consummation of an initial business combination. Accordingly, it is likely that prior to the consummation of an initial business combination, the compensation committee generally is only responsible for the review and recommendation of any compensation arrangements to be entered into in connection with such initial business combination.

The JWAC Certificate of Incorporation also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC.

212

Director Nominations

We do not have a standing nominating committee though we intend to form a corporate governance and nominating committee as and when required to do so by law or Nasdaq rules. In accordance with Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq rules, a majority of the independent directors may recommend a director nominee for selection by the board of directors. The board of directors believes that the independent directors can satisfactorily carry out the responsibility of properly selecting or approving director nominees without the formation of a standing nominating committee. The directors who will participate in the consideration and recommendation of director nominees are Hans Haywood and Adele Hogan. In accordance with Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq rules, all such directors are independent. As there is no standing nominating committee, we do not have a nominating committee charter in place.

Our board of directors also considers director candidates recommended for nomination by our stockholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for election at the next annual meeting of stockholders (or, if applicable, a special meeting of stockholders). Our stockholders that wish to nominate a director for election to our board of directors should follow the procedures set forth in our bylaws.

We have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, the board of directors considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of our stockholders.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of our executive officers, directors and employees. The code of ethics codifies the business and ethical principles that govern all aspects of our business.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION OF JWAC

Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in this section to “we,” “our,” “us” and other similar terms refer to JWAC before the Business Combination.

None of our executive officers has received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. We pay our Chief Financial Officer, Ke Li, a $5,000 monthly fee for his services, which upon completion of our initial business combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying. We will issue to our officers and directors an aggregate of 300,000 shares of JWAC Class A Common Stock within 10 days following the Business Combination, with the same lock-up restrictions and registration rights as the founder shares.

No compensation of any kind, including any finder’s fee, reimbursement, consulting fee or monies in respect of any payment of a loan, will be paid by us to our Sponsor, officers or directors or any affiliate of our Sponsor, officers or directors, prior to, or in connection with any services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of our initial business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is). However, these individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our Sponsor, officers or directors or our or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial business combination will be made using funds held outside the Trust Account. Other than quarterly audit committee review of such payments, we do not expect to have any additional controls in place governing our reimbursement payments to our directors and executive officers for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with identifying and consummating an initial business combination.

After the completion of our initial business combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting or management fees from the Combined Company. We have not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid by the Combined Company to our directors or members of management. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of the proposed initial business combination, because the directors of the post- combination business will be responsible for determining officer and director compensation. Any compensation to be paid to our officers will be determined, or recommended to the board of directors for determination, either by a compensation committee constituted solely by independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on our board of directors.

We do not intend to take any action to ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation of our initial business combination, although it is possible that some or all of our officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to remain with us after our initial business combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements to retain their positions with us may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or selecting a target business but we do not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after the consummation of our initial business combination will be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential business combination. We are not party to any agreements with our officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION OF CHIJET

Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in this section to “we,” “our,” “us” and other similar terms refer to Chijet before the Business Combination.

None of our executive officers has received any compensation for services rendered to us. No compensation of any kind, including any finder’s fee, reimbursement, consulting fee or monies in respect of any payment of a loan, will be paid by us to our officers or directors or any affiliate of our officers or directors, prior to, or in connection with any services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of our initial business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is).

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco intends to adopt a board of directors’ compensation program that is designed to align compensation with Pubco’ business objectives and the creation of stockholder value, while enabling Pubco to attract, retain, incentivize and reward directors who contribute to the long-term success of Pubco. That compensation program is expected to consist of, for each director of Pubco, as follows: Independent directors receive $50,000 per year in compensation and $50,000 in market value of company stock, and executive directors receive $100,000 per year in compensation and $100,000 in market value of company stock.

Overview

All activity through June 30, 2022 relates to our formation, initial public offering, and search for a prospective Initial Business Combination.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from inception through June 30, 2022 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the initial public offering, described below, and searching for a prospective Initial Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Initial Business Combination. We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held after the initial public offering. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses related to our search for targets for our Initial Business Combination.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net loss of $477,066, which consisted of operating costs of $655,107 and interest income of $178,041 on marketable securities held in the Trust Account.

For the period from September 14, 2021 (inception) through our year ended September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $21,015, which consisted of General and administrative expenses of $21,015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On December 9, 2021, we consummated the initial public offering of 13,800,000 units, which included the full exercise of the underwriter’s option to purchase up to an additional 1,800,000 units at the initial public offering price to cover over-allotments, at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $138,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, we consummated the sale of 629,000 placement units at a price of $10.00 per placement unit in a private placement to the Sponsor and I-Bankers Securities, Inc., generating gross proceeds of $6,290,000.

215

Following the initial public offering and the private placement, a total of $139,380,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $7,985,917 consisting of $2,760,000 in cash of underwriting commissions, $4,830,000 of business combination marketing fee, and $395,917 of other offering costs.

As of June 30, 2022, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $139,558,041 consisting of both cash and U.S. treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less.

We had $896,510 of cash held outside of the Trust Account as of June 30, 2022. JWAC did not have any cash equivalents as of June 30, 2022.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account to complete our business combination. We may withdraw interest to pay taxes. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a business combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a business combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. In the event that a business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units, at a price of $10.00 per unit, at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the placement units.

We anticipate that the $139,558,041 outside of the Trust account as of June 30, 2022 will not be sufficient to allow us to operate for at least the next 12 months, assuming that a Business Combination is not consummated during that time. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing to consummate our Initial Business Combination but there is no assurance that new financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms. Furthermore, if we are not able to consummate a Business Combination by March 9, 2023, it will trigger our automatic winding up, liquidation and dissolution. We may further extend the Combination Period by up to three months if the Sponsor deposits an additional $1,380,000 into our Trust Account but there is no assurance that the Sponsor will do so. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. We don’t believe there are any critical accounting policies or estimates.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2022.

216

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

All of the 13,800,000 shares of Class A Common Stock sold as part of the Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature. In accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification 480-10-S99-3A “Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities”, redemption provisions not solely within the control of JWAC require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares of common stock resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit. Accordingly, on June 30, 2022, the shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in the amount of $139,380,000 were presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of JWAC’s balance sheet.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than as described below.

We have engaged I-Bankers Securities, Inc. as an advisor in connection with our business combination to assist us in holding meetings with our stockholders to discuss the potential business combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce us to potential investors that are interested in purchasing our securities in connection with our initial business combination, assist us in obtaining stockholder approval for the business combination and assist us with our press releases and public filings in connection with the business combination. We will pay I-Bankers Securities, Inc. a cash fee of $4,830,000 for such services upon the consummation of our initial business combination (exclusive of any applicable finders’ fees which might become payable).

The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the period reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have not identified any critical accounting policies.

Recent Accounting Standards

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

INFORMATION ABOUT CHIJET

Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in this section to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and other similar terms refer to Pubco immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination. See page 3 for a glossary of certain terms used throughout this section.

Overview

We are a high-tech enterprise engaged in the research and development, production and sales of new energy vehicles. New energy vehicles, or NEVs, refers to plug-in electric vehicles including battery electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid (PHEV) electric vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles. Our mission is to produce vehicles with efficient exhaust emissions, improve air quality, and benefit users and the environment.

Our core operating entity, Shandong Baoya Energy Vehicle Co., Ltd., was founded in 2009 and is one of the earliest companies in China to engage in the research and development, production and sales of new energy vehicles. Our subsidiaries mainly include Jixiang Automobile Service (Yantai) Co., Ltd., Baoya New Energy Automobile R&D Institution (Yantai) Co., Ltd., Baoya New Energy Automobile Sale (Yantai) Co., Ltd., Xiangyang Yazhi New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd., Xiangyang Yazhi New Energy Automobile Sale Co. Ltd., Bijie Yabei New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. (“Bijie Yabei”), Dezhou Yitu New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd., Dezhou Yarui New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd (“Dezhou Yarui”), and Baoya New Energy Automobile R&D (Xiangyang) Co., Ltd. In 2019 we acquired our interest in FAW Jilin Automobile Co., Ltd., which we refer to as “FAW Jilin.” Please see the section below entitled “Our Structure before and after the Business Combination” for a diagram of our corporate structure. FAW Jilin has two branches: FAW Jilin Automobile Sale Co., Ltd. and Shandong Senya Automobile Sale Co., Ltd.

Our main business includes the design and development, production, sales, after-sales service and export of new energy vehicles and vehicle parts. Our passenger vehicles include small cars, sedans and sports utility vehicles, or SUVs, and our commercial vehicles include light trucks and vans. Our automobile industry group provides products and services to the entire value chain for our vehicles include R&D, manufacturing, sales and product services.

We manufacture using intelligent manufacturing ecosystems, which focus on efficiency in planning, R&D, supply chain management, manufacturing, quality, and logistics.

Our two core operating entities, Shandong Baoya Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. and its subsidiary FAW Jilin, respectively produce new energy vehicles and traditional fuel vehicles. After more than 40 years of development and operations, FAW Jilin has sold millions of vehicles in China and has established its place as one of the leaders in the popularization of light and small vehicles in China.

Industry

The company’s industry is the new energy vehicle industry. With the acceleration of the global energy crisis and the global determination among many countries around the world to pursue carbon neutrality, a significant number of countries around the world have issued mandatory policies to promote the development of the new energy vehicle market. The industry has ushered in rapid development. Driven in part by China’s new energy vehicle consumption trend, global new energy vehicle production and sales are expected to continue to move towards a new level.

National policies support the development of the new energy vehicle industry. China vigorously advocates the purchase and consumption of new energy vehicles, and strives to promote the comprehensive transformation of the automobile industry to new energy. With the improvement of China’s consumption level, the market for new energy vehicles is expected to continue to maintain a high-speed growth trend in the future, with broad market prospects.

218

In the next 5 to 10 years, the new energy automobile industry will usher in rapid development, and the pattern of the automobile industry will undergo great changes. Driven by China’s new energy vehicle consumption trend, the global new energy vehicle production and sales scale we believe will continue to move towards a new level. In 2025, global sales are expected to reach 18 million vehicles, of which Chinese auto companies are forecasted to sell approximately 9 million vehicles.

This forecast data has been widely recognized in the automobile industry in China. China’s EV sales are projected to reach 5.2 million units in 2022 by a Chinese automobile research and media firm Jiashipai. An industry leader has predicted in publications that China’s EV sales will reach 7 million units in 2025 and 30 million units worldwide in 2030. In addition, China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, the most authoritative association in China, also provided forecast data. It estimated that by 2022, the number of new energy vehicles ownership in China would reach 12.21 million units and the number of alternative energy charging stations would reach 5.06 million. By 2025, the number of new energy vehicles ownership in China was forecasted to increase to 32.24 million and the number of charging stations to increase to 14.66 million. From 2021 to 2025, the number of new charging stations are expected to grow at an average compound annual rate of 44%. At the 4th Global New Energy and Intelligent Vehicle Supply Chain Innovation Conference hosted on September 6th, 2022, a deputy director of the Economic Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference stated the production and sales of new energy vehicles all exceeded 3.5 million units in the first half of 2022, representing a 160% increase from the same period last year. In his published comments the deputy director predicted that the annual 2022 sales volume might reach 5.5 million vehicles, representing an increase of 56% over the same period last year. The Chinese government previously announced that it had targeted a 20% adoption rate of new energy vehicles by 2025. If the sales of the new energy vehicles in China indeed reach the volume predicted by the industry leaders, the governmental target will be achieved three years ahead of its schedule.

Our Structure before and after the Business Combination

[Diagram to Come]

219

Mixed ownership reform of FAW Jilin and History

One of our principal subsidiaries is FAW Jilin, and our acquisition of FAW Jilin we believe provides an example of our innovative ownership and expansion structure, because we led the mixed ownership investment in and private ownership reform of FAW Jilin, which partial privatization we refer to as the reform of FAW Jilin. Before the reform, FAW Jilin was a wholly-owned subsidiary of China FAW Co., Ltd, a state owned enterprise. Shandong Baoya, China FAW Co., Ltd. and FAW Jilin formally signed the purchase contract on December 27, 2019, and completed the reform by increasing the capital of FAW Jilin by RMB 1.5 billion (or approximately $210 million).

Shandong Baoya and China FAW Co., Ltd currently hold 70.5% and 29.5% shares of FAW Jilin, respectively. Chijet owns over 60% in FAW Jilin as a result of its 85.172% holding in Shandong Baoya. This acquisition was accomplished in accordance with procedures of the Shanghai United Assets and Equity Exchange, a public competitive bidding exchange in 2019. We believe the reform complements each other’s advantages, gives full play to each party’s strengths and demonstrates joint efforts. Shandong Baoya fully combines the vitality of private enterprises with the strength of FAW Jilin, so as to enhance its market competitiveness.

Over the next three to five years, FAW Jilin plans to focus on market demand and industrial trends with a series of platform products for passengers and merchants having FAW Jilin designed and specialized characteristics. This strategy supports Shandong Baoya goal to become a service provider to meet people’s needs and to improve their travel experiences.

Our Growth Strategy and Ecosystems

We plan to divide our operations generally into three phases, (1) research and development of traditional and new energy vehicle products to be on the cutting of edge of technological advancement and anticipating future product developments, (2) manufacturing high-performance and multi-purpose vehicles to meet customer needs and (3) providing thoughtful after-sales service in order to allow consumers to enjoy a wonderful driving experience and convenient travel services.

We use and plan to use intelligent ecosystems such as channels, services, government procurement, travel sharing, car owners’ services, social media, digital marketing, and online and offline technology, as part of our growth strategy for purchase by consumers of our products and services. Each of these ecosystems is described in more detail below.

Channels

Traditional channels include mixed sales methods such as buying through dealers, direct sales by manufacturers, building product experience stores by franchisees, and online sales by manufacturers. The new generation channel refers to the promotion of third parties on well-known online such as WeChat, Tik Tok and Weibo.

Government Procurements

Social service is only defined as providing official vehicles for the government. Service refers to providing customized car service for different systems, such as postal system, municipal system, police system, medical system, etc.

Travel sharing

Travel sharing is the hosting and sharing of resources. After the mobile travel resources are integrated, we can accurately schedule shared cars and increase our market share in the online car travel market.

Car owners’ services

We plan to provide value-added services to car owners. We are organized to provide car owners with free door-to-door pick-up and delivery, vehicle maintenance, road rescue, community vehicle custody, point redemption, used car replacement, and organizing exclusive activities for car owners.

Social Media and Socialization

We plan to aim to integrate vehicle ecosystem with social life, business socialization, resource system allocation and office resource. The intelligent cockpit meets specified needs of users for business socialization, resource system deployment and office resource sharing, by making use of smart car ecology, intelligent voice, touch screen, multimedia resources, head-up display, atmosphere lights and other functions. The user drives not only a car, but we would like also to provide our users with aspects of a mobile living room and mobile office.

220

Digital marketing

We currently analyze customer preferences using publicly available background data. Through an organized preference selection system based on categorized types of potential customers, our marketing system is structure to meet all kinds of customer requirements, including online booking for test drive, online vehicle configuration, online deposit submission and late delivery order inquiry. The entire ecological marketing preference selection system is designed to form a closed loop with a customer so that a customer can make a reasonable quantitative production plan in connection with an online sales deposit.

Online technology

Our on-line system strategy combines and is planned to combine the following six tools consisting of our: official website, official Weibo, official mobile application (App), official Tik Tok site, know the car emperor App, and related Weibo.

Offline technology

Offline technology enables consumers to actively purchase our products and services through supermarkets, experience stores, delivery centers, exhibition halls, community cultural centers, charging/replacing power stations and other channels.

Our Competitive Strengths

Experienced Management Team

We are a pioneer in China in lean management systems, based off of a system in lean management used by Toyota Motor Corporation in its management model. The Company uses this model base for its intelligent manufacturing plants of FAW Jilin. The Company’s model consists of six processes for blanking, stamping, welding, painting, final assembly, and resin in vehicle production. Preparation and current production management we believe have reached the forefront of the industry.

We have more than 13 employees who have received industry awards for their expertise in management in the Chinese automotive field, including the Beijing Enterprise Management Innovation Award, and more than 21 of our employees have received industry recognition for their research and development experience.

Institutional Advantages

After the reform of FAW Jilin, FAW Jilin’s equity structure is clear, and the dual mixed ownership structure of private -state-owned is conducive to giving full play to institutional advantages.

The institutional advantages of FAW Jilin’s are reflected in the dual mixed ownership. First, the parent company of FAW Jilin, Shandong Baoya, has private company shareholders, state-owned enterprise shareholders and Hong Kong shareholders. Second, as for the core subsidiary FAW Jilin, this subsidiary is controlled by the Company, which owns 70.5%, while China FAW Co., Ltd., the state owned enterprise shareholder, owns 29.5%, and which has received direct investment from the Central State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. We believe this shareholder structure can promote FAW Jilin’s R&D, production, procurement and marketing based on the support of China FAW Co., Ltd.

In August 2018, the Chinese government’s Office of the Leading Group for State-owned Enterprise Reform of the State Council issued the Work Plan of “Double Hundred Actions” for State-owned Enterprise Reform, which we refer to as the Enterprise Reform. FAW Jilin is the only vehicle manufacturer selected by this Office to be identified as a pilot enterprise to implement the “Double Hundred Actions” governmental standards of state-owned enterprise reform.

We believe mixed ownership will make substantial changes in the corporate governance structure of state-owned enterprises, improve the market-oriented operation mechanism, improve the incentive and restraint mechanism, and solve the problems left over from history, so as to give full play to the joint force of reform. The cooperation between the two sides of government and the private sector, we believe, will complement each other’s advantages and make joint efforts. By combining the vitality of our private enterprises with the strength of China FAW Co., Ltd., we believe our market competitiveness will be enhanced.

In the next three to five years, we will use the expertise of FAW Jilin to further focus on market demand and industrial development trends, realize product renewal iteration and forma best practices product platform system using the characteristics of FAW Jilin. We plan to adhere to the New Energy Vehicles strategy, build a series of platform products for passengers and merchants, and become a service provider to meet the needs of people in order to improve our customer’s travel experiences.

221

As the 70.5% owner and parent company of FAW Jilin, Shandong Baoya is a private enterprise, and its own equity is composed of shareholders which are private, state-owned and based in Hong Kong, as described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This diverse kind of shareholder structure and ownership strategy we believe closely follows market demand, and allows an operation strategy which is flexible to respond to market changes, while allowing financing channels to be open and inclusive. The Company endeavors to apply the innovation and high efficiency of a multi-level integration of industry and social superior resources, enterprise development and a talent incentive mechanism.

As for FAW Jilin’s other shareholder, China FAW Co., Ltd, as a state-owned enterprise, has many advantages, such as well-known brand in China consisting of FAW Jilin as well as automobile brands JIABAO, SERIA, its product platform, talent reserve, manufacturing system, supply and marketing network.

We believe FAW Jilin has the qualification to completely cover the commencement of production of the main vehicle models such as passenger cars and commercial vehicles, based on its existing 40 years of automobile manufacturing history, a standardized and systematic production system and a mature manufacturing team, and its historical models in production which were continuously sold in domestic and foreign marketing networks.

After the Enterprise Reform’s programs have ceased, we expect China FAW Co., Ltd. will continue to support FAW Jilin in terms of capital, brand, platform, research and development, etc. As a shareholder of FAW Jilin, we believe FAW Jilin will be able to rely on China FAW Co., Ltd.’s solid talent and technical reserves, scientific and technological innovation level and industry influence.

When the Company acquired ownership of FAW Jilin, retaining the original core management team of China FAW Co., Ltd.., the Company introduced to FAW Jilin industry experts, and completed its layout, management system, management mechanism and talent team to adapt to the development of market competitiveness and demand in a changing economy. FAW Jilin inherits and integrates the strengths of private economy and state-owned economy, and promotes complementary advantages. The Company plans to also continuously introduce available capital, technology, products, market and other resources to improve the system guarantee, deepen internal reform, stimulate the potential of talents, create an extensible business model, and realize equity diversification and business model diversification. Using this set of strategies, the Company plans to create a new standard of mixed-ownership with joint investment, collusion, sharing, co-creation and win-win development.

Advantages of New Products and Technologies

We focus on the cost-effectiveness of our vehicles and parts and engage in research collaboration for new technologies for our products, including innovations relating to solid-state batteries, in-wheel motors, and intelligent driving. Our collaborations are with Yantai University and Wuxi Intelligent Research Institute, CRRC Corporation Limited (“CRRC”), and Beijing Weilan Technology Company (“Beijing Weilan”).

Shandong Baoya, Yantai University and CRRC jointly developed in-wheel motors, which is a type of motor that uses an axial flux motor with double stators and single rotors. We entrusted Yantai University to design and develop the in-wheel motor body, and CRRC to develop the motor controller including testing and debugging of the in-wheel motor. The Company licenses the technology for industrial application from Yantai University. At present, we have completed the first stage of demo testing, and we are ready to carry out the second stage of product optimization.

We jointly developed battery technology with Beijing Weilan. In the first stage, the 270Wh/kg battery system has been verified by loading. In the next stage, the product will be a 350Wh/kg battery system, which will continue to be carried on the FB77 model car for verification. After product verification, the solid-state battery technology is held by Beijing Weilan, and the solid-state system application scheme is held by Shandong Baoya.

Manufacturing Advantages

Our vehicle production includes six steps for blanking, stamping, welding, painting, final assembly, and resin application. The production preparation and current production management of new products we believe have reached the forefront of the industry, because they have passed the IATF16949 quality management system certification, which is a general quality management system standard for automobile industry coordinated and formulated by the International Automobile Working Group. In our manufacturing process, we emphasize the strict control of manufacturing quality of the vehicle.

Advantages of Marketing Network

We market and sell both through an offline sales network and via online and digital cloud technology. Our offline sales network covers 10 provinces and 3 municipalities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Jilin, Jinan, Qingdao, Yantai, Weifang, Shijiazhuang, Baoding, Handan, Xingtai, Dezhou, Rizhao and other cities across the country. At the same time, our cloud digital marketing experience platform is being designed to, when launched, allow our customers to appreciate and purchase products online, which improves the convenience of car buying and user experience.

The 2020 Encouraging Catalogue and the 2021 Negative List set out the industries and economic activities in which foreign investment in the PRC is encouraged, restricted or prohibited. Pursuant to the 2020 Encouraging Catalogue, the manufacture and the development of key parts and components of NEVs fall within the encouraged catalogue, and the 2021 Negative List lifts the limit on foreign ownership of automakers for ICE passenger vehicles.

The establishment, operation and management of corporate entities in the PRC is governed by the PRC Company Law, which was latest amended on October 26, 2018. The PRC Company Law generally governs two types of companies – limited liability companies and joint stock limited companies. The PRC Company Law shall also apply to foreign-invested companies. Where laws on foreign investment have other stipulations, such stipulations shall prevail. The establishment procedures, approval or record-filing procedures, registered capital requirements, foreign exchange matters, accounting practices, taxation and labor matters of a wholly foreign-owned enterprise are regulated by the Foreign Investment Law, which became effective on 1 January 2020 and replaced three laws on foreign investments in China, namely, the PRC Equity Joint Venture Law, the PRC Cooperative Joint Venture Law and the Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise Law, together with their implementation rules and ancillary regulations.

The SCNPC enacted the Foreign Investment Law of the PRC on March 15, 2019 and the State Council promulgated the Implementation Regulations of Foreign Investment Law of the PRC on December 26, 2019, both of which came into force on January 1, 2020. On December 30, 2019, the MOFCOM and the SAMR jointly promulgated the Measures on Reporting of Foreign Investment Information, which also became effective on January 1, 2020. Under these laws and regulations, foreign investors or foreign-invested enterprises shall report and update investment information to the competent department for commerce through the Enterprise Registration System and the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System. Any foreign investor or foreign-invested company found to be non-compliant with these reporting obligations may potentially be subject to fines and legal sanctions.

The Foreign Investment Law of the PRC, together with its Implementation Regulations replaced, in their entirety, the trio of previous laws regulating foreign investment in China, namely, the Sino-foreign Equity Joint Venture Enterprise Law, the Sino-foreign Cooperative Joint Venture Enterprise Law and the Wholly Foreign-invested Enterprise Law, together with their implementation rules and ancillary regulations. Generally speaking, the Company Law of the PRC or the Partnership Law of the PRC (promulgated by the SCNPC in February 1997 and amended in August 2006) shall apply with respect to the organization of foreign-invested enterprises.

Regulations on Dividend Distribution

The principal regulations governing distribution of dividends of foreign-invested enterprises include the Company Law of the PRC (the “Company Law”). Under the Company Law, companies shall contribute 10% of the profits into their statutory surplus reserve upon distribution of their post-tax profits of the current year. A company may discontinue the contribution when the aggregate sum of the statutory surplus reserve is more than 50% of its registered capital.

244

Regulations on Offshore Financing

On July 4, 2014, the SAFE issued the Circular of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Relevant Issues concerning Foreign Exchange Administration of the Overseas Investment and Financing and Round-trip Investments by Domestic Residents through Special Purpose Vehicles, or Circular 37. Pursuant to Circular 37, any PRC residents, including both PRC institutions and individual residents, are required to register with the local branch of the SAFE before making a contribution to an enterprise directly established or indirectly controlled by the PRC residents outside of the PRC for the purpose of overseas investment or financing with their legally owned domestic or offshore assets or equity interests, referred to in this circular as a “special purpose vehicle”. Under Circular 37, the term “PRC institutions” refers to entities with legal person status or other economic organizations established within the territory of the PRC. The term “PRC individual residents” includes all PRC citizens (also including PRC citizens abroad) and foreigners who habitually reside in the PRC for economic benefit. A registered special purpose vehicle is required to amend its SAFE registration with respect to such vehicle in connection with any change of basic information including PRC individual resident shareholder, name, term of operation, or PRC individual resident’s increase or decrease of capital, transfer or exchange of shares, merger, division or other material changes. In addition, if a non-listed special purpose vehicle grants any equity incentives to directors, supervisors or employees of domestic companies under its direct or indirect control, the relevant PRC individual residents could register with the local branch of the SAFE before exercising such options.

The SAFE simultaneously issued guidance to its local branches with respect to the implementation of Circular 37. Under Circular 37, failure to comply with the foreign exchange registration procedures may result in restrictions being imposed on the foreign exchange activities of the relevant onshore company, including restrictions on the payment of dividends and other distributions to its offshore parent company and the capital inflow from the offshore entity, and may also subject the relevant PRC residents and onshore company to penalties under the PRC foreign exchange administration regulations.

Regulations on Merger and Acquisition and Overseas Listing

On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, including the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or the CSRC, adopted the Regulations on Mergers of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, or the M&A Rules, which became effective on September 8, 2006 and was amended on June 22, 2009. Foreign investors shall comply with the M&A Rules when they purchase equity interests of a domestic company or subscribe the increased capital of a domestic company, and thus changing the nature of the domestic company into a foreign-invested enterprise; or when the foreign investors establish a foreign-invested enterprise in the PRC, through which to purchase the assets of a domestic company and operate the assets; or when the foreign investors purchase the asset of a domestic company, establish a foreign-invested enterprise by injecting such assets and operate the assets. The M&A Rules purport, among other things, to require offshore special purpose vehicles formed for overseas listing purposes through acquisitions of PRC domestic companies and controlled by PRC companies or individuals who also control such PRC domestic companies, to obtain the approval of CSRC prior to publicly listing their securities on an overseas stock exchange.

CHIJET’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis provides information which Chijet’s management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of Chijet’s results of operations and financial condition. This discussion and analysis should be read together with “Selected Historical Financial Information of Chijet” and the audited historical consolidated financial statements and related notes that are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This discussion and analysis should also be read together with Chijet’s pro forma consolidated financial information in the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information”. In addition to historical financial information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. For more information about forward-looking statements, see the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”. Actual results and timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” or elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Certain figures, including interest rates and other percentages included in this section, have been rounded for ease of presentation. Percentage figures included in this section have not in all cases been calculated on the basis of such rounded figures but on the basis of such amounts prior to rounding. For this reason, percentage amounts in this section may vary slightly from those obtained by performing the same calculations using the figures in Chijet’s consolidated financial statements or in the associated text. Certain other amounts that appear in this section may similarly not sum due to rounding.

Unless the context otherwise requires all references in this section to “Chijet,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Chijet Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Overview

Chijet Inc. (“Chijet”) was incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands on July 2, 2021. Chijet through its subsidiaries (collectively “the Company”) noted below are principally engaged in in the research and development, production and sales of new energy vehicles. New energy vehicles, or NEVs, refers to plug-in electric vehicles including battery electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid (PHEV) electric vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles. Our mission is to produce vehicles with efficient exhaust emissions, improve air quality, and benefit users and the environment.

Prior to the incorporation of the Company and starting in April 2009, the business was carried out under Shandong Baoya New Energy Co., Ltd. (“Baoya”) and its subsidiaries. Baoya and its subsidiaries were controlled by a group of shareholders, individual and institutional, with voting agreements to vote consensually concerning operation and development matters.

On December 27, 2019, we acquired our interest in FAW Jilin Automobile Co., Ltd., which we refer to as “FAW Jilin.” Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger relating to this acquisition the purchase price was approximately $215 million (RMB 1.5 billion). Please see section entitled “Information About Chijet” generally and Information about Chijet - Our Structure before and after the “Business Combination” for more information about our subsidiaries. Please see Note 11 to our Financial Statements for years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 for more information on the acquisition of FAW Jilin.

In preparation for listing (“Listing”) on the U.S. Exchange Market via merging with a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (“SPAC”) traded in NASDAQ, the Company completed a reorganization (the “Reorganization”) by June 2022, which involved the following steps:

	●	On July 2, 2021, Chijet Inc. was established under the laws of the Cayman Islands.

	●	On July 12, 2021, Baoya Technology Holdings Limited was incorporated in British Virgin Islands as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chijet.

	●	On July 28, 2021, Baoyaev Group Limited was incorporated in Hong Kong as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Baoya Technology Holdings Limited.

	●	On October 21, 2021, Baoya New Energy (Shandong) Co., Ltd. (“WFOE”) was established in the PRC as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Baoyaev Group Limited.

246

By June 3, 2022, Chijet gradually owned 85.172% stake in Shandong Baoya New Energy Co., Ltd. through the following transactions: (1) Chijet issued 53,879,310 shares of common stock in exchange for the 17.245% stake in Shandong Baoya New Energy Co., Ltd. from two shareholders; and (2) Baoya New Energy (Shandong) Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chijet, acquired 67.927% stake in Shandong Baoya New Energy Co., Ltd. from its shareholders, individual and institutional, for total consideration of 7 Renminbi (“RMB”). Upon the Baoya New Energy (Shandong) Co., Ltd.’s transaction, all seven shareholders entered into a voting agreement to vote consensually concerning operation and development matters of the Chijet and its subsidiaries. Given no change in control, the transaction is accounted for as business combination under common control.

For financial reporting purposes, the acquisition of Shandong Baoya New Energy Co., Ltd. represented a transaction between entities under common control, resulted in a change in reporting entity and required retrospective combination of entities for all periods presented, as if the combination had been in effect since the inception of common control. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements of Chijet Inc. and subsidiaries reflect the accounting of the combined acquired subsidiaries at historical carrying values, except that equity reflects the equity of Chijet Inc.

Recent Developments

On July 12, 2022, Chijet has entered into a definitive business combination agreement with Deep Medicine Acquisition Corp., a blank check, special purpose acquisition company incorporated in Delaware, and related support agreement, dated as of such date with this company and its sponsor, Bright Vision Sponsor LLC. On September 26, 2022 this business combination agreement and related supported agreement were terminated following expiration of a prescribed negotiation period in the business combination agreement. None of the parties were obligated to pay any penalties as a result of the termination, pursuant to the terms of the business combination agreement.

Impact of COVID-19

During January 2020, a strain of coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. In an effort to halt the outbreak, the PRC government placed significant restrictions on travel within China and closed certain businesses, and governments outside of China have halted or sharply curtailed the movement of people, goods and services to and from China. Moreover, the COVID-19 outbreak has become a global pandemic and affected regions outside of China, such as Europe and North America. We are headquartered in Shandong, and we market and sell our vehicles mainly to consumers in China. Our production facilities and our key suppliers are located in China. In addition, a significant portion of the research and development staff is based in China. If the COVID-19 outbreak continues for an extended period or worsens, it could materially and adversely impact the supply chain, technology development, sales and other aspects of the operations.

There have been concerns over the downturn in economic output caused by the COVID-19 outbreak. It is unclear whether these challenges will be contained and what effects they each may have. Economic conditions in China are sensitive to global economic conditions. Recently there have been signs that the rate of China’s economic growth is declining, and China’s economy contracted in the two quarters of 2022 and year of 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. Any prolonged slowdown in China’s economic development might lead to tighter credit markets, increased market volatility, sudden drops in business and consumer confidence and dramatic changes in business and consumer behaviors.

Sales of the vehicles depend in part on discretionary consumer spending and are even more exposed to adverse changes in general economic conditions. In response to their perceived uncertainty in economic conditions, consumers might delay, reduce or cancel purchases of the vehicles and the results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

247

Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

Chijet believes that its future performance and success depends to a substantial extent on the following factors, each of which is in turn subject to significant risks and challenges, including those discussed below and in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Risk Factors.”

Global and local demand for our vehicles and automotive products.

Our business performance is related to sales of our vehicles and parts for vehicles. Economic conditions in North America, Europe and Asia can have a large impact on the production volume of new vehicles, implementation of manufacturing solutions and the adoption by municipalities of new energy vehicles. While the automotive industry and these other industries are showing recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, the pandemic had an impact on purchases during the fiscal year ended 2020 and 2021. For example, the automotive globally industry has had approximately 3% growth in global vehicle production year over year in 2021, production in 2021 was still approximately 13% below the 2019 level. Moreover, automakers continue to face supply chain shortages, and it is expected that global vehicle production will not fully recover from the impact of supply chain constraints in 2022 and 2023. We believe that the expected continued constraint on global automotive production resulting from supply chain shortages and the effects of economic uncertainty will limit our ability to increase our revenue.

Growth in the market for new energy vehicles, NEVs.

New Energy Vehicles, or NEVs, generally include three types: battery electric vehicles, or BEVs, hybrid electric vehicles, or HEVs, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, or PHEVs. Among these, the BEV is considered the most eco-friendly as a zero emission solution. Recognizing these benefits, the Chinese government has provided incentives for all of them. With battery technology improving and charging network expansion, consumer concern over range has also lessened, another factor contributing to BEV growth.

Supply and manufacturing capacity

Our solutions are dependent on the multi-suppliers. The continued and timely supply of input materials, the availability of manufacturing capacity, and packaging and testing services at reasonable prices impact our ability to meet customer demand. Supply chain disruptions, shortages of raw material, such as wafers and substrates, and manufacturing limitations as a result of COVID-19 or other factors could limit our ability to meet customer demand and result in delayed, reduced, or canceled orders. The semiconductor industry is experiencing widespread shortages of substrates and other components and available foundry manufacturing capacity, and we anticipate that such shortages will continue. Our reliance on single or limited suppliers and vendors for certain components, equipment, and services and the aforementioned shortages of substrates and other components have led to increased supply chain risks and continue to stress our ability to meet the supply demands of our customers. To mitigate these supply chain constraints, management is monitoring inventory levels on an ongoing basis. Although we cannot fully predict the length and the severity of the impact these pressures will have on a long-term basis, we do not anticipate that our current supply chain constraints would materially adversely affect our results of operations, capital resources, sales, profits, and liquidity.

Investment in technology and product development.

We believe our ability to continue to develop and design highly advanced and cost-efficient NEVs will position us to extend our technology leadership and encourage greater adoption of our solutions by enabling greater levels of autonomy. It will be critical to enabling the increase in vehicle sales. While our significant investments in these technologies may not result in revenue in the near term, we believe these investments will position us for revenue growth over time.

Basis of Presentation

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Chijet and its subsidiaries for which Chijet is the primary beneficiary. All inter-company transactions and balances between Chijet and its subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation.

248

A subsidiary is an entity in which Chijet, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power (a) has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors (the “Subsidiary Board”) (b) to cast majority of votes at the meeting of the Subsidiary Board or to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee under a statute or agreement among the shareholders or equity holders.

The Company operates as one operating segment in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting. The Company has a common basis of organization, and the products and services are offered mutually. Considering the acquisition of FAW Jilin in 2019 and continued restructuring and streamlining of the growing organization, the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) continues to make decisions with regards to business operations and resource allocation based on evaluation of Chijet as a whole. Accordingly, the Company operates and makes decisions as one business segment. As the Company’s long-lived assets are substantially located in the PRC, no geographical segments are presented.

Components of Results of Operations

(a)

Revenues

Revenue is recognized when or as the control of the goods or services is transferred upon delivery to customers. We generated revenues from (i) Vehicle sales, (ii) Sales of vehicle parts and accessories, and (iii) Practical expedients and exemptions.

Vehicle Sales

Vehicle sales revenue includes revenues related to deliveries of new vehicles under the definition of a performance obligation under ASC 606. The Company recognizes revenue on vehicle sales upon delivery to the customer, which is when the control of a vehicle transfers. For the obligations related to the vehicle sales, the Company estimates the standalone selling price by considering costs used to develop and deliver the service, third-party pricing of similar options and other information that may be available.

The Company provides a manufacturer’s limited warranty on all new vehicles sold to the customers, ensuring that the vehicles comply with agreed-upon specifications. As the manufacturer’s limited warranty is not separately sold to the customers, the Company does not consider the warranty as a separate performance obligation under the ASC 606-10-55-31.

Sales of vehicle parts and accessories

The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control to the customer which occurs at a point in time. When the Company performs shipping and handling activities after the transfer of control to the customer, they are considered as fulfillment activities, and accordingly, the costs are accrued for when the related revenue is recognized.

Practical expedients and exemptions

The Company follows the guidance on immaterial promises when identifying performance obligations in the vehicle sales contracts and concludes that labor related to assurance-type warranties is not a performance obligation considering this service is value-added service to enhance customer experience rather than critical items for vehicle driving and forecasted that usage of this service will be very limited. The Company also performs an estimation on the stand-alone fair value of the promise applying a cost-plus margin approach and concludes that the standalone fair value of foresaid service is insignificant, representing less than 5% of vehicle gross selling price and aggregate fair value of each individual promise.

(b)

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue includes direct parts, material, labor cost and manufacturing overhead (including depreciation of assets associated with the production) and reserves for estimated warranty cost. Cost of revenue also includes charges to write-down the carrying value of the inventories when it exceeds its estimated net realizable value and to provide for on-hand inventories that are either obsolete or in excess of forecasted demand.

(c)

Cost of revenue – idle capacity

Idle capacity consists of direct production costs in excess of charges allocated to the Company’s finished goods in production. Operating costs include direct and indirect labor, production supplies, repairs and maintenance, rent, utilities, insurance and property taxes. The Company charges for labor and overhead allocated to its finished goods are determined on a daily basis which is lower than its actual costs incurred. Operating costs in excess of production allocations are expensed in the period incurred rather than added to the cost of finished goods produced.

249

(d)	*Research and development expenses*

All costs associated with research and development (“R&D”) are expensed as incurred. R&D expenses consist primarily of employee compensation for those employees engaged in R&D activities, design and development expenses with new technology, materials and supplies and other R&D related expenses.

(e)	*Selling, general and administrative expenses*

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee compensation, transportation cost, and packaging fee. Selling costs are expenses as incurred.

(f)	*Other Income*

Other income mainly consists of income from non-operating activities and profit or loss of disposition of non-current assets.

(g)	*Interest Income*

Interest income consists of interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and deposits held in designated bank accounts.

(h)	*Interest Expense*

Interest expense consists of interest on short and long-term obligations.

(i)	*Government Grant*

The Company’s PRC based subsidiaries received government subsidies from certain local governments. The Company’s government subsidies consist of specific subsidies. Specific subsidies are subsidies that the local government has provided for a specific purpose, such as land fulfillment costs and production and capacity subsidies related to the manufacturing plant construction. The Company recognizes government subsidies until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received. Hence, the Company recorded specific subsidies as other non-current liabilities when received and the specific subsidies are recognized as other income at each stage when the Company is entitled to the amount or the required performance is met. The Company currently recognizes government subsidies 1) using a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognizes the related expenses or losses that the grants are intended to compensate and 2) when the grant becomes receivable if it compensates for expenses or losses already incurred.

(j)	*Gain (Loss) on Equity Investment*

Gain (loss) on equity investment consists of the changes in fair value of our investment in in unconsolidated subsidiaries.

(k)	*Other Expenses*

Other expenses mainly consist of expense of non-operating activities, including expense related to liquidation of subsidiaries.

250

(l)	*Income taxes*

Current income taxes are recorded in accordance with the regulations of the relevant tax jurisdiction. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Tax. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax consequences attributable to differences between carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and their respective tax basis, and operating loss carryforwards. 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 taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss in the period of change. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that amount of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Uncertain tax positions

An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, are recorded under accrued expenses and other current liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets and under other expenses in its consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. The Company did not recognize any significant interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions for the six months ended June 30, 2022, for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. As of June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

Value-added tax (VAT)

The Company is subject to statutory VAT of 13%, 6%, 9% for revenue from sales of vehicles and spare parts, and other services, respectively, in PRC.

(m)	Comprehensive *income (loss)*

The Company applies ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, with respect to reporting and presentation of comprehensive loss and its components in a full set of financial statements. Comprehensive loss is defined to include all changes in equity of the Company during a period arising from transactions and other events and circumstances except those resulting from investments by shareholders and distributions to shareholders. For the years presented, the Company’s comprehensive loss includes net loss and other comprehensive loss, which primarily consists of the foreign currency translation adjustment and actuarial loss arising from changes in financial assumptions on the Company’s defined contribution plan that has been excluded from the determination of net loss.

Six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to six months ended June 30, 2021

Revenues

The following table presents our revenue components by amount and as a percentage of the total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Revenue:	For the period ended June 30,
	2022					2021
(in thousands USD $, except for percentages)	USD		%			USD		%
Vehicle sales		7,328		75.2	%		4,833		45.7	%
Parts and Other sales		2,423		24.8	%		5,734		54.3	%
Total Revenue		9,751		100.0	%		10,567		100.0	%

We had revenues from vehicle sales of $7,328,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to revenues of $4,833,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in revenue from vehicle sales was mainly due to the increase in sales of the vehicles from FAW Jilin Automobile Co., Ltd., the subsidiaries from the Company.

We had revenues from parts, accessories, and other sales of $2,423,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to revenues from parts, accessories, and other sales of $5,734,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in revenue from parts, accessories, and other sales was mainly due to the decrease in revenue generated from original equipment manufacturing (“OEM”).

Cost of Revenues

Our cost of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $10,018,000 compared to cost of revenues of $21,687,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in cost of revenues was mainly due to the impairment of inventory for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Cost of Revenues – idle capacity

Our cost of revenues in idle capacity expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $20,668,000 compared to $12,379,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in cost of revenue was mainly due to the temporary suspension at the factories resulted in idle capacity charges as the Company still incurred fixed costs such as depreciation and certain payroll related expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Research and Development

The research and development remained relatively stable at $6,759,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $6,205,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Selling, general and administrative

The selling, general and administrative for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $30,004,000 compared to selling, general and administrative of $22,748,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in selling, general and administrative was mainly due to the warrants granted and vested under the financial advisory agreements for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

252

Other income

The other income remained relatively stable at $370,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $228,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Interest income

The interest income remained relatively stable at $504,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $644,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Interest expense

The interest expense remained relatively stable at $7,349,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $8,534,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Government grant

The government grant for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $16,041,000 compared to government grant of $69,223,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in government grant was mainly due to the recognition as the required performance was met during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, we have financed our operations mainly through financing from our shareholders, payments received from our customers, and cash received from government grant. We had cash and cash equivalents of $77,322,000 and $23,188,000 on June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, the company had working deficit of $148,092,000. The Company has a plan of operations and acknowledges that its plan of operations may not result in generating positive working capital in the near future.

We believe that our cash on hand following the consummation of the Business Combination, including the current available cash and cash equivalents on our balance sheet, the funds contained in JWAC’s Trust Account (assuming the no redemption and 50% redemption scenarios) will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of this proxy statement/prospectus and sufficient to fund our operations.

To the extent that our current resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may need to seek additional equity or debt financing, and will continue to seek government grants. If the financing is not available, or if the terms of financing are less desirable than we expect, or fail to obtain government grants, we may be forced to decrease our level of investment in product development or delay, scale back or abandon all or part of our growth strategy, which could have an adverse impact on our business and financial prospects.

Even though management believes that it will be able to successfully execute its business plan, which includes increasing market acceptance of the Company’s products to boost its sales volume to achieve economies of scale while applying more effective marketing strategies and cost control measures to better manage operating cash flow position, third-party financing and capital issuance, and meet the Company’s future liquidity needs, there can be no assurances in that regard. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this material uncertainty.

Debt Arrangements

In May 2016, the Company entered two loans, each referred to as “project entrance agreement” loans, with unrelated non-financial institutions (collectively, the “2016 Loans”). The purpose of the borrowing was solely for the development of the Electric Vehicle industry in Xiangyang, PRC, and cannot be used for any other purposes. The 2016 Loans bear no interest, and the maturity date was determined depending on the development status, measured begining July 8, 2018. Due to the nature of the loans, the Company was subject to the fulfillment of covenants relating to the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position performance and results, which are commonly found in lending arrangements in the industry. The Company regularly monitors its compliance with these covenants. The carrying value of these borrowings approximates its fair value as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and June 30, 2022. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the outstanding principal amounts of the 2016 Loans was US$109,287,411 (RMB 694,598,000) and US$106,326,328 (RMB 694,598,000), respectively. As of June 30, 2022, the outstanding principal amounts of the 2016 Loans was US$103,728,629 (RMB 694,598,000). The difference in the principal is the same in RMB (being 694,598,000) for each period, and the difference reflected in U.S. dollars was primarily due to the change in the currency exchange rate.

The covenants associated with the loans include that the loan proceeds need to be repaid if the project does not meet the conditions for applying for government subsidies as stipulated in the contract within five consecutive years after the year of the project began. The Company started the project in July 2017, and a five-year period would end in 2022 (from 2018 to 2022). Due to the production interruption in 2019, the Company’s eligibility for the government subsidy is remote. As a result, the loans were reclassified as current portion as of December 31, 2021 and the amount is due by July 2022. The Company is currently negotiating with loan holder to extend the terms of the loan.

Employee benefits

Full-time employees of the Company in the PRC participate in a government mandated defined contribution plan, pursuant to which certain pension benefits, work-related injury benefits, maternity insurance, medical care, employee housing fund and other welfare benefits are provided to the employees. Chinese labor regulations require that the PRC subsidiaries of the Company make contributions to the government for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ salaries, up to a maximum amount specified by the local government.

Contingencies

(a)

Legal proceedings

The Company records a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews the need for any such liability on a regular basis.

FAW Jilin was subject to ongoing legal proceedings arising from disputes of contracts entered into prior to the Company’s acquisition of FAW Jilin in December 2019. These legal proceedings include the CO23 and other models in FAW Jilin’s EOP project. Additionally, there were a lot of labor disputes arising from the corporate reorganization in 2003, including but not limited to loss of files, labor relationships, default in social insurance, and other labor disputes. In recent years, there has been a risk of not being able to complete the agreed-upon payments for the auto molding that have not been produced for a long time. As a result, there may be a substantial risk of litigation and settlement agreement obligations. As of the date of this report, most of these legal proceedings were settled. The settlement amounts were accrued and included in Accrued and Other Current Liabilities.

On October 2022, one of FAW Jilin’s supplier filed a lawsuit in district court against FAW Jilin, claiming FAW Jilin failed to pay its bills, in the amount of approximately USD $154,000. The Company intended to defend against the lawsuit. As of December 16, 2022, the Company estimated the amount of probable loss was not material taken the financial statement as a whole.

Other than the unpaid contract amount that the Company assumed from FAW Jilin Acquisition and included as the Retained Assets and Liabilities, the Company did not record any accrual for expected loss payments with respect to these cases as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. In addition to the indemnification of the Retained Assets and Liabilities the Company obtained from China FAW Group Corporation (“FAW Group”), FAW Group also agreed in the FAW Jilin Acquisition Agreement that, it will indemnify damages and loss arising from the following case:

In 2017, FAW Jilin’s three independent dealers in Beijing have been fined a total of US$5,349,528 (RMB 34,000,000) by Beijing’s Chaoyang District Market Supervision Administration for selling vehicles that failed to meet emission standards. As the third party, FAW Jilin has not been judged to be liable for joint and several compensations, but as the manufacturer, FAW Jilin may faces the risk of being claimed by the dealer. According to an effective agreement, FAW Group will undertake all compensation for such potential claims. As of the reporting date, and the possibility and amount of contingency cannot be estimated given the current status.

Contractual Disputes relating to FAW Jilin

As of June 30, 2022, there remains contingent claims in litigation in China between other parties and FAW Jilin as a defendant, relating to contractual disputes, which have not been settled and remain in litigation.

Other than the commitments and contingencies disclosed in this discussion and analysis, our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus and the costs related to the transactions described under “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Combined Financial Information,” we did not have material contractual commitments or contingencies for payments of cash as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the periods presented, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities, which were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.

260

Other than the contingencies described above and certain transactions related to the Business Combination described under “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Combined Financial Information,” we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, and the reported revenues and expenses during the reported period in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements primarily include, but are not limited to, the fair value of the net assets of acquired subsidiaries, the determination of performance obligations, the determination of warranty cost, lower of cost and net realizable value of inventory, assessment for impairment of long-lived assets and intangible assets, recoverability of receivables as well as valuation of deferred tax assets.

Management bases the estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Holding Company Structure

Each of Chijet and Pubco is a holding company with no material operations of its own. We conduct a portion of our operations through our PRC subsidiaries. As a result, our ability to pay dividends depends significantly upon dividends paid by our PRC subsidiaries. If our existing PRC subsidiaries or any newly formed ones incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing their debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends to us. In addition, our wholly foreign-owned subsidiaries in China are permitted to pay dividends to us only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Under PRC law, each of our subsidiaries in China is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund certain statutory reserve funds until such reserve funds reach 50% of its registered capital. In addition, each of our subsidiaries in China may allocate a portion of its after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to enterprise expansion funds and staff bonus and welfare funds at its discretion. The statutory reserve funds and the discretionary funds are not distributable as cash dividends. Remittance of dividends by a wholly foreign-owned company out of China is subject to examination by the banks designated by SAFE. Our PRC subsidiaries have not paid dividends and will not be able to pay dividends until they generate accumulated profits and meet the requirements for statutory reserve funds. In the future we expect that our in-house vehicle manufacturing will be carried out primarily by Baoya and FAW Jilin.

See “Risk Factors —Risks Related to Doing Business in China —The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (“HFCA Act”), together with recent joint statement by the SEC and PCAOB, Nasdaq rule changes, a determination by the PCAOB that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and in Hong Kong, all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. These developments add uncertainties to our ability to be listed on U.S. stock exchanges.” for more information on the effect of recent regulation in the United States relating to holding companies and doing business in China.

Inflation

To date, inflation in the PRC has not materially impacted our results of operations. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the year-over-year percent changes in the consumer price index for December 2021, 2020 were increases of 0.9% and 2.5%, respectively. Although we have not been materially affected by inflation in the past, we may be affected in the future by higher rates of inflation in the PRC. For example, certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses may increase as a result of higher inflation. Additionally, because a substantial portion of our assets consists of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, high inflation could significantly reduce the value and purchasing power of these assets. We are not able to hedge our exposure to higher inflation in China.

261

Seasonality

Demand for new cars in the automotive industry typically are higher in the spring and summer and decline over the winter season, while sales are generally higher during the spring and summer months. Also, any unusually severe weather conditions in some markets may impact demand for our vehicles.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The application of our accounting policies may require us to make assumptions and estimates about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expense, and the accompanying disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time the estimate was made.

We consider an accounting policy to be a critical estimate if: (1) we must make assumptions that were uncertain when the judgment was made, and (2) changes in the relevant estimate or assumptions, or selection of a different estimate methodology, could have a significant impact on our financial position or the results that we report in our combined financial statements.

We believe that our estimates, assumptions, and judgments are reasonable in that they were based on information available when the estimates, assumptions and judgments were made. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ materially from those implied by our assumptions and estimates.

On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to Impairment assessment, Retirement benefit obligation, commitment and contingencies related to contracts dispute, revenue recognition and warrants. We base our estimates, assumptions and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may materially differ from the results implied by these estimates and judgments under different assumptions or conditions.

Impairment assessments

Impairment assessments consist primarily of property and equipment, land use right, intangible assets, and goodwill, acquired in business acquisition or invested for future operation, and inventory purchased for operation. Property and equipment, land use right, amortizable identified intangible assets are assigned useful lives ranging from 1 to 40 years. Indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill are not amortized.

Impairment of the Company’s long-lived assets were assessed using both qualitative and quantitative analysis, or whenever events or circumstances change that indicate the carrying value of such long-lived assets may not be recoverable.

Impairment of inventories were assessed using quantitative analysis whenever events or circumstances change that indicate excess or obsolete inventories, or when the carrying value of inventory exceeds the net amount realize value.

Nature of estimated required.

Management has to estimate the useful lives of the Company’s long-lived assets. In regard to the Company’s impairment analysis of long lived asset, the most significant assumptions include management’s estimate of the annual growth rate used to project future sales and expenses.

Management has to estimate the demand for current and future, and estimated the selling cost of the Company’s inventory. In regard to the Company’s impairment analysis of inventory, the most significant assumptions include management’s estimate of the annual growth rate used to project future sales.

Assumptions and approach used

For property and equipment, depreciable lives are based on our accounting policy which is intended to mirror the expected useful life of the asset. In determining the estimated useful life of land use right and amortizable intangible assets such as patent and software, we rely on our historical experience in addition to estimates of how long certain assets will generate cash flows. If impairment indicators arise, we then evaluate the potential impairment of property and equipment, land use right and amortizable identifiable intangible assets using an undiscounted future cash flow approach.

When evaluating the potential impairment of non-amortizable indefinite-lived assets and goodwill, the Company first assesses a range of qualitative factors, including but not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry conditions, the competitive environment, changes in the market for the Company’s products and services, market prices, regulatory and political developments, entity specific factors such as strategy and changes in key personnel, and the overall financial performance for each of the Company’s reporting units. If after completing this assessment, the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, a quantitative evaluation is performed using the income approach (discounted cash flow method).

A discounted cash flow methodology requires the estimation of a wide range of factors including but not limited to: (i) forecasting future earnings and cash flows (ii) determining the discount rate applicable to the earnings stream being discounted, and (iii) computing a terminal value at some point in the future. These estimations require significant judgment and include making assumptions such as sales growth rates including the addition of new retail stores, future store profitability, planned capital expenditures, our ability to control costs, the successful implementation of initiatives designed to enhance sales and improve inventory management, gross profit estimates, macroeconomic conditions, industry conditions, the competitive environment, changes in the market for the Company’s products and services, regulatory and political developments, entity specific factors such as strategy and changes in key personnel, working capital requirements, weighted average cost of capital, and current and anticipated operating conditions. The use of different assumptions or estimates for future cash flows could produce different results.

When evaluating the demand for current and future, future selling price, and future selling cost of the Company’s inventory, recent sales experience, aging of inventories and other factors that affect inventory obsolescence were assessed. Under these estimates, if the inventory on hand is in excess of future demand forecast, the excess amounts are written off, and if the carrying value exceeds the net amount realizable upon the ultimate sale of the inventory, the inventory were written down.

262

Retirement benefit obligation

The Company has three defined benefits, non-contributory retirement or termination plans that cover qualifying employees. These defined benefit plans provide benefits to covered individuals satisfying certain age and/or service requirements. The present value of the defined benefit obligations, and the related service costs were measured using the projected unit credit method. The following components have been included in the net obligation recognized (i) service cost; (ii) interest cost; (iii) expected return on plan assets, if any; (iv) amortization of any prior service cost or credit included in accumulated other comprehensive income; and (v) gain or loss (including the effects of changes in financial assumptions). These inputs were estimated based on historical data, macroeconomic conditions, and other factors that may affected. The use of different assumptions or estimates for future cash flows could produce different results.

Commitment and contingencies

The Company has capital, parts purchase, and services commitments. Management has to estimate the quantities of parts or tooling that needed to be used in future operation. The most significant assumptions include management’s estimate of the annual growth rate used to project future sales and expense. When evaluating future sales, recent sales experience, aging of inventories and other factors that affect future sales were assessed.

The Company records a contingency liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company has to estimate the probability of loss and amount of loss based on management’s assessment. The use of different assumptions or estimates from the management could produce different results.

Revenue recognition

We recognized revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied, which is the point at which control of the promised goods or services are transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods and services.

We generate revenue mainly from the sale of vehicle, vehicle parts and accessories, and immaterial promises. The Company recognizes revenue when vehicle, parts and access were delivered to the customer, and when shipping and handling activities were performed.

The Company provides a manufacturer’s limited warranty on all new vehicles sold to the customers. The limited warranty is not considered to be a separate performance obligation.

Nature of estimated required.

The Company estimates the standalone selling price for vehicle sale, projected costs to repair or replace items under warranties and recalls, and the stand-alone fair value of the promise. The most significant assumptions include management’s estimate of the nature, frequency, and costs of future performance obligation.

263

Assumptions and approach used

When evaluating the nature, frequency, and costs of future performance obligation by taking into account historical data, macroeconomic conditions, and other factors were assessed.

Warrants

The Company issued warrants for services rendered. The warrants were classified as equity. The Company estimates the fair value of the warrants by using Black-Scholes Option Pricing model which is based on the value of the underlying ordinary share at the valuation measurement date, the remaining contractual term of the warrants, risk-free interest rates, expected dividends and expected volatility of the price of the underlying ordinary share.

The volatility was estimated based on historical volatility of the publicly traded peer companies. Expected dividend yield is based on the fact that Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the appropriate reserve bank yield in effect at the time of an award grant for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of award.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of our new or recently adopted accounting pronouncements, see Note 3 “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” to our consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2022 included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In connection with the audits of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and reviews of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified two material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal controls, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The two material weaknesses that have been identified relate to (i) lack of sufficient internal capabilities and resources with relevant experience, skills and knowledge in accounting and financial reporting under the requirements of U.S. GAAP and rules set forth by the SEC to prepare financial statements and related footnote disclosures in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and (ii) lack of regular reconciliations with third- party suppliers and customers, which increases the risk of inaccurate financial reporting because transactions could be improperly recorded and the misstatements might not be identified and corrected on a timely basis.

To remedy identified material weaknesses, we have implemented, and plan to continue to implement, several measures, including, among others:

	●	hiring additional competent and qualified accounting and reporting personnel with appropriate knowledge and experience of U.S. GAAP and SEC financial reporting requirements;
	●	establishing an ongoing program to provide sufficient and additional appropriate training to our accounting staff, especially trainings related to U.S. GAAP and SEC financial reporting requirements;
	●	formulating internal accounting and internal control guidance on U.S. GAAP and SEC financial reporting requirements;
	●	hiring additional competent and qualified accounting and reporting personnel to reconciliate with customers regularly.

However, we cannot assure you that all these measures will be sufficient to remediate our material weaknesses in a timely manner, or at all. See “Risk Factors —Risks Related to Chijet’s Business and Industry — If Chijet fails to implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting, it may be unable to accurately report its results of operations, meet reporting obligations or prevent fraud. As a result, Pubco’s security holders could lose confidence in its financial and other public reporting, which would harm its business and trading price of Pubco securities.

Chijet is an “emerging growth company,” pursuant to the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting.

264

Emerging Growth Company Status

As defined in Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act, Pubco is an emerging growth company. As such, Pubco will be eligible for and intend to rely on certain exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act, including (a) the exemption from the auditor attestation requirements with respect to internal control over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (b) the exemptions from say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and say-on-golden parachute voting requirements and (c) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements.

Pubco will remain an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act until the earliest of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the date on which Pubco Ordinary Shares were offered in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, (b) in which it has total annual gross revenues of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which it is deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of its ordinary shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of the prior fiscal year’s second fiscal quarter; or (2) the date on which it has issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

Foreign currency exchange rate risk

The revenues and expenses of the Company’s entities in the PRC are generally denominated in RMB and their assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB. The Company’s oversea financing activities in future are denominated in U.S. dollars. The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. Remittances of foreign currencies into the PRC or remittances of RMB out of the PRC as well as exchange between RMB and foreign currencies require approval by foreign exchange administrative authorities and certain supporting documentation. The State Administration for Foreign Exchange, under the authority of the People’s Bank of China, controls the conversion of RMB into other currencies.

Interest Rates Risk

We incur risk arising from the fluctuation of interest rates relating to interest income from interest-bearing assets such as cash and cash-equivalent assets that bear variable interest rates.

Credit Risk

Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to us arising from default by the customers or counterparties of contract obligations. Our main credit risk was that counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the agreed terms and the financial assets at amortized cost. We actively monitor and manage our credit risk by performing credit checks and monitoring credit limits. With respect to our customers, our local entities are responsible for managing and analyzing the credit risk for each of their new customers before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by our Board.

Liquidity Risk

We manage liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash deemed adequate to finance our operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. In addition, management monitors the utilization of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships between any of our executive officers and our directors.

Arrangements for Election of Directors and Members of Management

Following the Business Combination, there will be no arrangements or understandings with major shareholders or others pursuant to which any of our executive officers or directors are selected.

Corporate Governance Practices and Foreign Private Issuer Status

Pubco is a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act and, as such, Pubco is permitted to follow the corporate governance practices of its home country, the Cayman Islands, in lieu of the corporate governance standards of Nasdaq applicable to U.S. domestic companies. For example, Pubco is not required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or within the same time frames as U.S. companies with securities registered under the Exchange Act, although it may elect to file certain periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC on a voluntary basis on the forms used by U.S. domestic issuers. Pubco is not required to comply with Regulation FD, which imposes restrictions on the selective disclosure of material information to shareholders. In addition, Pubco’s officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules under the Exchange Act with respect to their purchases and sales of Pubco’s securities. Accordingly, after the Business Combination, if you continue to hold Pubco’s securities, you may receive less or different information about Pubco than you currently receive about JWAC.

In addition, as a “foreign private issuer”, Pubco is permitted to follow certain home-country corporate governance practices in lieu of certain Nasdaq requirements. A foreign private issuer must disclose in its annual reports filed with the SEC each Nasdaq requirement with which it does not comply followed by a description of its applicable home country practice. Pubco currently intends to follow some, but not all, of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq. With respect to the corporate governance requirements of Pubco that it does follow, Pubco cannot give assurances that it will continue to follow such corporate governance requirements in the future, and may therefore in the future, rely on available Nasdaq exemptions that would allow Pubco to follow its home country practice. Unlike the requirements of Nasdaq, Pubco is not required, under the corporate governance practice and requirements in the Cayman Islands, to have its board consist of a majority of independent directors, nor is Pubco required to have a compensation committee, a nominating or a corporate governance committee consisting entirely of independent directors, or to have regularly scheduled executive sessions with only independent directors each year. Such Cayman Islands home country practices may afford less protection to holders of Ordinary Shares.

Pubco also intend to rely on this “foreign private issuer exemption” with respect to the quorum requirement for shareholder meetings and with respect to Nasdaq shareholder approval rules. Whereas under the corporate governance rules of Nasdaq, a quorum requires the presence, in person or by proxy, of holders of at least 33 1/3% of the total issued and outstanding voting power of our shares at each general meeting, pursuant to the Proposed Charter to be effective upon the closing of the Business Combination, the quorum required for a general meeting will consist of at least two shareholders present in person or by proxy who hold or represent at least 33 1/3% of the total outstanding voting power of our shares, except if (i) any such general meeting was initiated by and convened pursuant to a resolution adopted by the board of directors and (ii) at the time of such general meeting, Pubco qualifies as a “foreign private issuer,” then in such case, the requisite quorum will consist of two or more shareholders present in person or by proxy who hold or represent at least 25% of the total outstanding voting power of Pubco Ordinary Shares (and if the meeting is adjourned for a lack of quorum, the quorum for such adjourned meeting will be, subject to certain exceptions, any number of shareholders).

Upon the completion of the Business Combination, Pubco will be a “controlled company” as defined under the rules of Nasdaq, because Alan Nan WU will be able to exercise 74.35% of the aggregate voting power of Pubco’ total issued and outstanding shares (assuming no JWAC Common Stock is redeemed as described in this proxy statement/prospectus). Under the rules of Nasdaq, a “controlled company” may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements. As a result, Pubco’ shareholders may not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to these corporate governance requirements. Nonetheless, Pubco intends to align itself with the practices adopted by Nasdaq-listed non-controlled companies for practices to the best of its ability to provide its shareholders with enhanced transparency and protection.

Independence of Directors

As a result of the Pubco Ordinary Shares being listed on Nasdaq following consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco will adhere to the rules of Nasdaq in determining whether a director is independent. The board of directors of Pubco has consulted, and will consult, with its counsel to ensure that the board’s determinations are consistent with those rules and all relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the independence of directors. The Nasdaq listing standards define an “independent director” as a person, other than an executive officer of a company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the issuer’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, Mr. Mu Hongwei will be appointed as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Pubco.

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco will establish a separately standing audit committee, compensation committee, and nominating and corporate governance committee (which we refer to as the “nominating committee”).

268

Audit Committee Information

Effective upon consummation of the Business Combination, Pubco will establish an audit committee comprised of independent directors. It is expected that the audit committee will initially consist of Wang Qingjun, Simon Pang, Ying Liu. Each of the members of the audit committee will be independent under the applicable Nasdaq listing standards. The audit committee will have a written charter. The purpose of the audit committee will be, among other things, to appoint, retain, set compensation of, and supervise Pubco’s independent accountants, review the results and scope of the audit and other accounting related services and review Pubco’s accounting practices and systems of internal accounting and disclosure controls.

Financial Experts on Audit Committee

The audit committee will at all times be composed exclusively of “independent directors,” as defined for audit committee members under the Nasdaq listing standards and the rules and regulations of the SEC, who are “financially literate,” as defined under Nasdaq’s listing standards. Nasdaq’s listing standards define “financially literate” as being able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. In addition, Pubco will be required to certify to Nasdaq that the committee has, and will continue to have, at least one member who has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or other comparable experience or background that results in the individual’s financial sophistication.

Simon Pang will serve as a financial expert on the audit committee.

Compensation Committee Information

Effective upon consummation of the Business Combination, the board of directors of Pubco will establish a compensation committee. It is expected that the compensation committee will initially consist of Zhang Jiannong, Wu Lichun, John Chiang. The compensation committee will have a written charter. The purpose of the compensation committee will be to review and approve compensation paid to Pubco’s officers and directors and to administer Pubco’s incentive compensation plans, if any, including authority to make and modify awards under such plans.

The compensation committee assists the Board in determining its responsibilities in relation to remuneration, including, amongst other matters, making recommendations to the Board on the Combined Company’s policy on executive compensation, determining the individual remuneration and benefits package of each of the executive directors and recommending and monitoring the remuneration of senior management below Board level.

Nominating Committee

Following the closing of the Business Combination, Pubco’s nominating committee will consist of Wu Lichun, Zhang Jiannong, Wen Li and be responsible, among other things, for:

	●	select the director slate (or recommend the slate to the full board of directors);
	●	oversee board governance;
	●	develop board meeting procedures; and
	●	evaluate the effectiveness of board.

Corporate Governance Practices

As a foreign private issuer, Pubco may generally follow home country practice with respect to certain matters of corporate governance in lieu of the comparable governance provisions of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, except for certain matters including the composition and responsibilities of the audit committee and the independence of its members within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Pubco intends to follow home country practice in lieu of Nasdaq corporate governance requirements with respect to the following Nasdaq requirements:

●

Executive Sessions. We will not be required to and, in reliance on home country practice, we may not, comply with certain Nasdaq rules requiring Pubco’s independent directors to meet in regularly scheduled executive sessions at which only independent directors are present. Pubco will follow Cayman Islands practice which does not require independent directors to meet regularly in executive sessions separate from the full board of directors.

269

	●	Proxy Statements. We will not be required to and, in reliance on home country practice, we may not, comply with certain Nasdaq rules regarding the provision of proxy statements for general meetings of shareholders. Pubco will follow Cayman Islands practice which does not impose a regulatory regime for the solicitation of proxies.

	●	Shareholder Approval. Pubco will not be required to and, in reliance on home country practice, it does not intend to, comply with certain Nasdaq rules regarding shareholder approval for certain issuances of securities under Nasdaq Rule 5635. In accordance with the provisions of Pubco’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, Pubco’s board of directors is authorized to issue securities, including ordinary shares, warrants and convertible notes.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

JWAC’s Related Person Transactions

Founder Shares

On September 20, 2021, the Sponsor purchased 2,875,000 shares of JWAC’s Class B Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000.

In December 2021, JWAC effected a 0.2 for 1 stock dividend for each share of Class B Common Stock outstanding (which was accounted for as a stock split) of 575,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, which resulted in an aggregate of 3,450,000 shares of Class B common stock outstanding. The Founder Shares include an aggregate of up to 450,000 shares of Class B common stock subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment is not exercised in full or in part, so that the number of Founder Shares will collectively represent 20% of JWAC’s issued and outstanding shares upon the completion of the IPO. On December 9, 2021, the Underwriter exercised the over-allotment option in full. As a result, no Founder Shares is subject to for forfeiture.

Private Placement

Concurrently with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor and the underwriters purchased an aggregate of 629,000 private placement units, generating gross proceeds of $6,290,000 in aggregate in a private placement. Each private placement unit consisted of one share of Class A common stock and one right. Each right underlying the private placement unit (the “Private Placement Right”) entitles the holder to receive one-eighth of one share of JWAC Class A Common Stock at the closing of a business combination. The proceeds from the sale of the private placement units were added to the net proceeds from the IPO held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a business combination before March 9, 2023 (or such later date as may be extended by means of a further contribution to the Trust Account in accordance with the JWAC Certificate of Incorporation or amendment to such certificate), the proceeds from the sale of the private placement units will be used to fund the redemption of the public shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the private placements units and all underlying securities will expire worthless.

Executive Compensation

The Company’s Chief Financial Officer receives $5,000 in cash per month as compensation for his services, commencing December 9, 2021.

Sponsor Note Payable

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had a loan payable to the Sponsor in amount of $371,650 with zero interest (the “Loan”). The Loan is unsecured. Under no circumstances shall any individual, including but not limited to any officer, director, employee or stockholder of the Company, be obligated personally for any obligations or liabilities of the Loan. The proceeds of the Loan are used to pay a portion of the offering expenses of the IPO. These amounts will be repaid upon completion of an initial business combination. On December 17, 2021, the balance was repaid in full and no other amounts were taken on the note.

JWAC’s Related Person Transactions Policy and Procedure

JWAC’s Code of Ethics requires it to avoid, wherever possible, all related party transactions that could result in actual or potential conflicts of interests, except under guidelines approved by the Board (or the audit committee). Related-party transactions are defined as transactions in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year, (2) JWAC or any of its subsidiaries is a participant, and (3) any (a) executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director, (b) greater than 4% beneficial owner of JWAC Common Stock, or (c) immediate family member of the persons referred to in clauses (a) and (b), has or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10% beneficial owner of another entity). A conflict of interest situation can arise when a person takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise if a person, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position.

JWAC’s audit committee, pursuant to its written charter, is responsible for reviewing and approving related-party transactions to the extent JWAC enters into such transactions. The audit committee will consider all relevant factors when determining whether to approve a related party transaction, including whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable to JWAC than terms generally available from an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction. No director may participate in the approval of any transaction in which he is a related party, but that director is required to provide the audit committee with all material information concerning the transaction. JWAC also requires each of its directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.

These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.

To further minimize conflicts of interest, if such related party transaction were to occur, JWAC has agreed not to consummate an initial business combination with an entity that is affiliated with any of the Sponsor, officers or directors of JWAC unless JWAC has obtained an opinion from an independent investment banking firm which is a member of FINRA or an independent accounting firm that our initial business combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view..

Related Person Transactions Policy Following the Business Combination

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, it is anticipated that the Pubco Board will adopt a written Related Person Transactions Policy that sets forth Pubco’s policies and procedures regarding the identification, review, consideration and oversight of “related person transactions.” For purposes of Pubco’s policy only, a “related person transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which Pubco or any of its subsidiaries are participants involving an amount that exceeds $ , in which any “related person” has a material interest.

Transactions involving compensation for services provided to Pubco as an employee, consultant or director will not be considered related person transactions under this policy. A related person is any executive officer, director, nominee to become a director or a holder of more than 5% of any class of Pubco’s voting securities, including any of their immediate family members and affiliates, including entities owned or controlled by such persons.

Under the policy, the related person in question or, in the case of transactions with a holder of more than 5% of any class of Pubco’s voting securities, an officer with knowledge of a proposed transaction, must present information regarding the proposed related person transaction to Pubco’s audit committee (or, where review by Pubco’s audit committee would be inappropriate, to another independent body of the Pubco Board) for review. To identify related person transactions in advance, Pubco will rely on information supplied by Pubco’s executive officers, directors and certain significant unitholders. In considering related person transactions, Pubco’s audit committee will take into account the relevant available facts and circumstances, which may include, but are not limited to:

	●	the potential conflicts with the interests of Pubco;

	●	the risks, costs, and benefits to Pubco;

	●	the impact on a director’s independence in the event the related person is a director, immediate family member of a director or an entity with which a director is affiliated;
	●	the terms of the transaction;

	●	the availability of other sources for comparable services or products; and

	●	the terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties.

Pubco’s audit committee will approve only those transactions that it determines are fair to us and in Pubco’s best interests. All of the transactions described above were entered into prior to the adoption of such policy.

274

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES OF THE COMBINED COMPANY

The following description of the material terms of Pubco’s ordinary shares following the Business Combination includes a summary of specified provisions of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of Pubco that will be in effect upon such time that the Business Combination has been completed. Such amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of Pubco are attached as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part of and incorporated herein by reference. You are encouraged to read the relevant provisions of the Cayman Islands Companies Act and Pubco’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association as they relate to the following summary.

Authorized Share Capital

Pubco’s share capital is $50,000 divided into 499,000,000 ordinary shares of a par value of $0.0001 each and 1,000,000 preferred shares of a par value of $0.0001 each. The board of directors of Pubco is authorized to issue these shares in different classes and series and, with respect to each class or series, to determine the designations, powers, preferences, privileges and other rights, including dividend rights, conversion rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, any or all of which may be greater than the powers and rights associated with the ordinary shares, at such times and on such other terms as they think proper.

As of the close of business on October 31, 2022, Pubco had one ordinary share issued and outstanding and no preferred shares issued and outstanding. Upon the completion of the Business Combination, assuming no redemptions, Pubco will issue approximately 183,391,795 Pubco Ordinary Shares in connection with the Business Combination and the pre-existing one ordinary share issued and outstanding prior to the Business Combination will be automatically surrendered and cancelled.

Ordinary Shares

General

All of Pubco’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares will be issued credited as fully paid and non-assessable. Pubco’s ordinary shares are issued in registered form, and are issued when registered in Pubco’s register of members. Pubco’s shareholders who are non-residents of the Cayman Islands may freely hold and transfer their ordinary shares.

Dividends

The holders of Pubco’s ordinary shares are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by Pubco’s board of directors, subject to Cayman Islands law, the Cayman Islands Companies Act and the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of Pubco. Under Cayman Islands law, dividends may be declared and paid only out of funds legally available therefor, namely out of either profit or share premium account, provided that in no circumstances may Pubco pay a dividend if this would result in Pubco being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.

Register of Members

Under Cayman Islands law, Pubco must keep a register of members and there will be entered therein:

	●	the names and addresses of the members, a statement of the shares held by each member, and of the amount paid or agreed to be considered as paid, on the shares of each member and the voting rights of shares of each member;
	●	whether voting rights are attached to the share in issue;
	●	the date on which the name of any person was entered on the register as a member; and
	●	the date on which any person ceased to be a member.

275

Under Cayman Islands law, the register of members of our company is prima facie evidence of the matters set out therein (i.e., the register of members will raise a presumption of fact on the matters referred to above unless rebutted) and a member registered in the register of members will be deemed as a matter of Cayman Islands law to have legal title to the shares as set against its name in the register of members. Upon closing, the register of members will be immediately updated to reflect the issue of shares by Pubco. Once Pubco’s register of members has been updated, the shareholders recorded in the register of members will be deemed to have legal title to the shares set against their name. However, there are certain limited circumstances where an application may be made to a Cayman Islands court for a determination on whether the register of members reflects the correct legal position. Further, the Cayman Islands court has the power to order that the register of members maintained by a company should be rectified where it considers that the register of members does not reflect the correct legal position. If an application for an order for rectification of the register of members were made in respect of Pubco’s ordinary shares, then the validity of such shares may be subject to re-examination by a Cayman Islands court.

Voting Rights

Each holder of ordinary shares is entitled to one vote on all matters upon which the ordinary shares are entitled to vote on a show of hands or, on a poll, each holder is entitled to have one vote for each share registered in his name on the register of members. Voting at any meeting of shareholders is by show of hands unless a poll is demanded. A poll may be demanded by the chairman of Pubco’s board of directors or by any one or more shareholders holding at least one-eighth of the votes attaching to the issued and outstanding ordinary shares in Pubco entitled to vote at general meetings, present in person or by proxy.

A quorum required for a general meeting of shareholders consists of one or more shareholders who hold in aggregate at least one-third of the votes attaching to the issued and outstanding ordinary shares in Pubco entitled to vote at general meetings, present in person or by proxy or, if a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorized representative. Although not required by the Cayman Islands Companies Act or Pubco’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, Pubco expects to hold shareholders’ meetings annually and such meetings may be convened by Pubco’s board of directors on its own initiative or upon a request to the directors by shareholders holding in aggregate at least 25 percent in par value of Pubco’s issued shares that carry the right to vote at general meetings. An extraordinary general meeting may also be called by the Chairman of the Board or the President of the Company. Advance notice of at least 10 days is required for the convening of Pubco’s annual general meeting and other general meetings.

An ordinary resolution to be passed by the shareholders requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes attaching to the ordinary shares cast by those shareholders entitled to vote who are present in person or by proxy in a general meeting, while a special resolution requires the affirmative vote of no less than two-thirds of the votes attaching to the ordinary shares cast by those shareholders entitled to vote who are present in person or by proxy in a general meeting. Both ordinary resolutions and special resolutions may also be passed by a unanimous written resolution signed by all the shareholders of Pubco, as permitted by the Cayman Islands Companies Act and the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of Pubco. A special resolution will be required for important matters such as change of name or making further changes to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of Pubco.

Transfer of Ordinary Shares

Subject to the restrictions of Pubco’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as applicable, any of Pubco’s shareholders may transfer all or any of his or her ordinary shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or any other form approved by Pubco’s board of directors.

Pubco’s board of directors may, in its absolute discretion, decline to register any transfer of any ordinary share which is not fully paid up or on which Pubco has a lien. Pubco’s directors may also decline to register any transfer of any ordinary share unless:

● the instrument of transfer is lodged with Pubco, accompanied by the certificate (if any) for the ordinary shares to which it relates and such other evidence as Pubco’s board of directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;

● the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of ordinary shares;

● the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required;

● in the case of a transfer to joint holders, the number of joint holders to whom the ordinary share is to be transferred does not exceed four; or

● the ordinary shares transferred are free of any lien in favor of Pubco.

276

If Pubco’s directors refuse to register a transfer they shall, within two months after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged, send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of such refusal. The registration of transfers may, on 14 days’ notice being given by advertisement in such one or more newspapers or by electronic means, be suspended and the register closed at such times and for such periods as Pubco’s board of directors may from time to time determine; provided, however, that the registration of transfers shall not be suspended and the register shall not be closed for more than 30 days in any year.

Liquidation

On a winding up of Pubco, if the assets available for distribution among its shareholders shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus will be distributed among its shareholders in proportion to the par value of the shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up, subject to a deduction from those shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to Pubco for unpaid calls or otherwise. If Pubco’s assets available for distribution are insufficient to repay all of the paid-up capital, the assets will be distributed so that the losses are borne by its shareholders in proportion to the par value of the shares held by them.

Calls on Ordinary Shares and Forfeiture of Ordinary Shares

Pubco’s board of directors may from time to time make calls upon shareholders for any amounts unpaid on their ordinary shares in a notice served to such shareholders at least 14 days prior to the specified time of payment. The ordinary shares that have been called upon and remain unpaid are subject to forfeiture.

Redemption, Repurchase and Surrender of Ordinary Shares

Pubco may issue shares on terms that are subject to redemption, at Pubco’s option or at the option of the holders, on such terms and in such manner as may be determined before the issue of such shares, by Pubco’s board of directors or by a special resolution of Pubco’s shareholders. Pubco may also repurchase any of its shares provided that the manner and terms of such purchase have been agreed between the board of directors and the relevant shareholder or are otherwise authorized by its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. Under the Cayman Islands Companies Act, the redemption or repurchase of any share may be paid out of Pubco’s profits or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose of such redemption or repurchase, or out of capital (including share premium account and capital redemption reserve) if Pubco can, immediately following such payment, pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. In addition, under the Cayman Islands Companies Act no such share may be redeemed or repurchased (a) unless it is fully paid up, (b) if such redemption or repurchase would result in there being no shares outstanding, or (c) if the company has commenced liquidation. In addition, Pubco may accept the surrender of any fully paid share for no consideration.

Variations of Rights of Shares

All or any of the special rights attached to any class of shares may, subject to the provisions of the Cayman Islands Companies Act, the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and Cayman Islands law, be varied either with the written consent of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of not less than two thirds of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

Inspection of Books and Records

Holders of Pubco’s ordinary shares have no general right under Cayman Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of Pubco’s list of shareholders or its corporate records. However, Pubco will provide its shareholders with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

277

Changes in Capital

Pubco may from time to time by ordinary resolution:

	●	increase its share capital by such sum, to be divided into shares of such classes and amount, as the resolution shall prescribe;
	●	consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into shares of a larger amount than its existing shares;
	●	convert all or any of its paid up shares into stock and reconvert that stock into paid up shares of any denomination;
	●	sub-divide its existing shares, or any of them into shares of a smaller amount that is fixed by the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association; and
	●	cancel any shares which, at the date of the passing of the resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled.

Subject to Companies Act and confirmation by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands on an application by Pubco for an order confirming such reduction, Pubco may by special resolution reduce its share capital and any capital redemption reserve in any manner authorized by law.

Issuance of Additional Preferred Shares

Pubco’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association authorizes Pubco’s board of directors to issue additional ordinary shares from time to time as its board of directors shall determine, to the extent of available authorized but unissued shares.

Pubco’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association authorizes Pubco’s board of directors to establish from time to time one or more series of preferred shares and to determine, with respect to any series of preferred shares, the terms and rights of that series, including:

	●	the designation of the series;
	●	the number of shares of the series;
	●	the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights; and
	●	the rights and terms of redemption and liquidation preferences.

Pubco’s board of directors may issue preferred shares without action by its shareholders to the extent authorized but unissued. In addition, the issuance of preferred shares may be used as an anti-takeover device without further action on the part of the shareholders. Issuance of these shares may dilute the voting power of holders of ordinary shares.

Exempted Company

Pubco is an exempted company with limited liability under the Cayman Islands Companies Act. The Cayman Islands Companies Act distinguishes between ordinary resident companies and exempted companies. Any company that is registered in the Cayman Islands but conducts business mainly outside of the Cayman Islands may apply to be registered as an exempted company. The requirements for an exempted company are essentially the same as for an ordinary company except for the exemptions and privileges listed below:

	●	an exempted company does not have to file an annual return of its shareholders with the Registrar of Companies;
	●	an exempted company’s register of members is not open to inspection;
	●	an exempted company does not have to hold an annual general meeting;
	●	an exempted company may issue shares with no par value;
	●	an exempted company may obtain an undertaking against the imposition of any future taxation (such undertakings are usually given for 20 years in the first instance);
	●	an exempted company may register by way of continuation in another jurisdiction and be deregistered in the Cayman Islands;
	●	an exempted company may register as a limited duration company; and
	●	an exempted company may register as a segregated portfolio company.

278

“Limited liability” means that the liability of each shareholder is limited to the amount unpaid by the shareholder on the shares of the company (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstances in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).

Taxation

The following summary of certain Cayman Islands tax consequences of an investment in Pubco’s ordinary shares is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof in effect as of the date of this prospectus, all of which are subject to change. This summary does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment in Pubco’s ordinary shares, such as the tax consequences under other tax laws.

Prospective investors should consult their advisors on the possible tax consequences of investing in Pubco’s ordinary shares under the laws of their country of citizenship, residence or domicile.

Cayman Islands Tax Considerations

The following is a discussion on certain Cayman Islands income tax consequences of an investment in Pubco’s ordinary shares. The discussion is a general summary of present law, which is subject to prospective and retroactive change. It is not intended as tax advice, does not consider any investor’s particular circumstances, and does not consider tax consequences other than those arising under Cayman Islands law.

Under Existing Cayman Islands Laws

Payments of dividends and capital in respect of Pubco’s ordinary shares will not be subject to taxation in the Cayman Islands and no withholding will be required on the payment of a dividend or capital to any holder of the Pubco’s ordinary shares nor will gains derived from the disposal of the securities be subject to Cayman Islands income or corporate tax. The Cayman Islands currently has no income, corporate or capital gains tax and no estate duty, inheritance tax or gift tax.

No stamp duty is payable in respect of the issue of Pubco’s ordinary shares or on an instrument of transfer in respect of such shares.

Pubco has been incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability and, as such, has applied for and received an undertaking from the Financial Secretary of the Cayman Islands in the following form:

The Tax Concessions Act

(As Revised)

Undertaking as to Tax Concessions

In accordance with the provision of Section 6 of The Tax Concessions Act (As Revised), the Financial Secretary undertakes with Chijet Motor Company Ltd (the “Company”):

2. In addition, that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax shall be payable:

2.1 On or in respect of the shares, debentures or other obligations of the Company; or

2.2 by way of the withholding in whole or part, of any relevant payment as defined in Section 6(3) of the Tax Concessions Act (As Revised).

These concessions shall be for a period of 20 years from the date hereof.

Anti-Money Laundering — Cayman Islands

If any person in the Cayman Islands knows or suspects or has reasonable grounds for knowing or suspecting that another person is engaged in criminal conduct or money laundering or is involved with terrorism or terrorist financing and property and the information for that knowledge or suspicion came to their attention in the course of business in the regulated sector, or other trade, profession, business or employment, the person will be required to report such knowledge or suspicion to (i) the Financial Reporting Authority of the Cayman Islands, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands if the disclosure relates to criminal conduct or money laundering, or (ii) a police officer of the rank of constable or higher, or the Financial Reporting Authority, pursuant to the Terrorism Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands, if the disclosure relates to involvement with terrorism or terrorist financing and property.

Data Protection — Cayman Islands

Pubco has certain duties under the Data Protection Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands (the “Data Protection Act”) based on internationally accepted principles of data privacy.

Privacy Notice

Introduction

This privacy notice puts our shareholders on notice that through your investment in the Company you will provide us with certain personal information which constitutes personal data within the meaning of the Data Protection Act (“personal data”). In the following discussion, the “company” refers to us and our affiliates and/or delegates, except where the context requires otherwise.

Investor Data

We will collect, use, disclose, retain and secure personal data to the extent reasonably required only and within the parameters that could be reasonably expected during the normal course of business. We will only process, disclose, transfer or retain personal data to the extent legitimately required to conduct our activities of on an ongoing basis or to comply with legal and regulatory obligations to which Pubco is subject. We will only transfer personal data in accordance with the requirements of the Data Protection Act, and will apply appropriate technical and organizational information security measures designed to protect against unauthorized or unlawful processing of the personal data and against the accidental loss, destruction or damage to the personal data.

In our use of this personal data, Pubco will be characterized as a “data controller” for the purposes of the Data Protection Act, while our affiliates and service providers who may receive this personal data from us in the conduct of our activities may either act as our “data processors” for the purposes of the Data Protection Act or may process personal information for their own lawful purposes in connection with services provided to us.

We may also obtain personal data from other public sources. Personal data includes, without limitation, the following information relating to a shareholder and/or any individuals connected with a shareholder as an investor: name, residential address, email address, contact details, corporate contact information, signature, nationality, place of birth, date of birth, tax identification, credit history, correspondence records, passport number, bank account details, source of funds details and details relating to the shareholder’s investment activity.

Who this Affects

If you are a natural person, this will affect you directly. If you are a corporate investor (including, for these purposes, legal arrangements such as trusts or exempted limited partnerships) that provides us with personal data on individuals connected to you for any reason in relation your investment in the company, this will be relevant for those individuals and you should transmit the content of this Privacy Notice to such individuals or otherwise advise them of its content.

280

How the Company May Use a Shareholder’s Personal Data

The company, as the data controller, may collect, store and use personal data for lawful purposes, including, in particular:

	a)	where this is necessary for the performance of our rights and obligations under any purchase agreements;
	b)	where this is necessary for compliance with a legal and regulatory obligation to which Pubco is subject (such as compliance with anti-money laundering and FATCA/CRS requirements); and/or
	c)	where this is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests and such interests are not overridden by your interests, fundamental rights or freedoms.

Should Pubco wish to use personal data for other specific purposes (including, if applicable, any purpose that requires your consent), Pubco will contact you.

Why We May Transfer Your Personal Data

In certain circumstances Pubco may be legally obliged to share personal data and other information with respect to your shareholding with the relevant regulatory authorities such as the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority or the Tax Information Authority. They, in turn, may exchange this information with foreign authorities, including tax authorities.

We anticipate disclosing personal data to persons who provide services to us and their respective affiliates (which may include certain entities located outside the United States, the Cayman Islands or the European Economic Area), who will process your personal data on our behalf.

The Data Protection Measures We Take

Any transfer of personal data by us or our duly authorized affiliates and/or delegates outside of the Cayman Islands shall be in accordance with the requirements of the Data Protection Act.

We and our duly authorized affiliates and/or delegates shall apply appropriate technical and organizational information security measures designed to protect against unauthorized or unlawful processing of personal data, and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data.

We shall notify you of any personal data breach that is reasonably likely to result in a risk to your interests, fundamental rights or freedoms or those data subjects to whom the relevant personal data relates.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Some provisions of Cayman Islands law and Pubco’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association may have the effect of delaying, deterring or discouraging another party from acquiring control of Pubco. Pubco’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provide for a classified board of directors with three-year staggered terms as well as restrictions requiring the holders of shares together carrying at least one-third of the rights to vote at a shareholder meeting to be able to requisition a general meeting of shareholders. As a matter of Cayman Islands law, any resolutions in writing must be passed unanimously.

These provisions of Pubco’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and Cayman Islands law could delay the ability of shareholders to change the membership of a majority of its board, force shareholder action to be taken at an annual general meeting or an extraordinary general meeting called by Pubco’s board of directors or on the requisition of the holders of shares carrying at least one-third of the rights to vote at a shareholder meeting of Pubco, and in turn delay the ability of shareholders to force consideration of a proposal or take action.

Pubco’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association require an ordinary resolution to remove any director. Pubco’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and Cayman Islands law also require a special resolution to amend the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. Such requirements may prevent Pubco’s existing shareholders from effecting a change of management of Pubco and removing the provisions in Pubco’s constitutional documents that may have an anti-takeover effect. See the section entitled “Beneficial Ownership of Securities — Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights.”

281

Representative Warrant

Upon the closing of the IPO, JWAC issued to I-Bankers a five-year warrant to purchase 414,000 shares of JWAC Class A Common Stock, equal to 3.0% of the shares issued in the IPO (“Representative Warrants”). The exercise price of Representative Warrants is $12.00 per share. The Representative Warrants shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, for cash or on a cashless basis, commencing the later of December 9, 2022 and the Closing of the Business Combination and terminating on December 9, 2026.

The Representative Warrants grants to its holders demand and “piggy back” registration rights for periods of five and seven years from December 9, 2021. JWAC will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities, other than underwriting commissions which will be paid for by the holders themselves. The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Representative Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or JWAC’s recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation.

Upon completion of the Business Combination, all of the Representative Warrant will be exchanged for a substantially similar warrant to purchase an equal number of Pubco Ordinary Shares on the same terms and conditions as the original warrant, exercisable at $2.00 per share for five years.

GT Warrant

Upon completion of the Business Combination, all of GT Warrant will be exchanged for a substantially similar warrant to purchase an equal number of Pubco Ordinary Shares on the same terms and conditions as the original warrant, exercisable at $2.00 per share for five years.

Transfer Agent

The transfer agent and registrar for Pubco’s ordinary shares is expected to be American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC.

282

DESCRIPTION OF THE CVRS

The following is a summary of the material terms and conditions of the CVRs, which will be governed by the BCA and a CVR agreement, which will be entered into at or immediately prior to the Closing by Pubco and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, or another CVR rights agent appointed prior to the Closing by Chijet and JWAC (the “Rights Agent”). This summary may not contain all the information about the CVRs and the CVR agreement that is important to you, and will be supplemented by amendment to this Registration Statement when the form of the CVR agreement has been agreed upon by the parties.

Overview

Pubco and the Rights Agent, will enter into a CVR agreement, effective as of the Closing, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to JWAC and Chijet relating to the CVRs, and which we refer to as the CVR Agreement.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, each holder of any shares of JWAC Common Stock which do not redeem their shares will be entitled to one CVR for each such share held by them at the Effective Time of the Business Combination, which are CVR Eligible JWAC Holders (which exclude the Sponsor and such other persons who hold private shares as described below who have waived their rights to CVRs). For the avoidance of doubt, under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, shares of JWAC Class B Common Stock and holders of JWAC Rights will not receive any CVRs in the Business Combination, even if they are converted into shares of JWAC Class A Common Stock at or prior to the Closing.

Any Earnout Shares (and Earnings thereon) that are surrendered by the Earnout Participants in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement will be, with respect to Pubco Ordinary Shares, cancelled by Pubco and returned to Pubco’s authorized but unissued share capital (with any other securities or property included within the surrendered Earnout Shares or Earnings being held in reserve by Pubco), and then promptly thereafter reissued by Pubco as newly issued Pubco Ordinary Shares, and other securities or property included within the surrendered Earnout Shares shall be delivered, to the CVR Rights Agent for distribution to the holders of CVRs in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and the CVR Agreement. Such newly reissued Pubco Ordinary Shares which are surrendered and other securities or property included within the surrendered Earnout Shares that are delivered to the CVR Rights Agent, we refer to as the “CVR Property”.

Pursuant to the BCA and CVR Agreement, the CVR Property will be distributed by the CVR Rights Agent to the holders of CVRs promptly after the CVR Rights Agent’s receipt of the CVR Property, with the CVR Property (including each type of security or property included in the CVR Property) being allocated among all holders of CVRs pro rata, based on their respective number of CVRs held.

The CVRs will not have any voting or dividend rights, and interest will not accrue on any amounts payable in respect of the CVRs. The CVRs will not represent any equity or ownership interest in Pubco, Chijet or JWAC, or any other constituent company to the Business Combination, or any of their respective affiliates.

283

CVR Provisions

Each CVR will entitle the holder thereof to receive a portion of the CVR Property to compensate the holder in the event the Earnout criteria is not met by the Sellers, which would result in an adjustment to the consideration provided to Sellers, except that holders of privately placed JWAC Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (including the Sponsor, its transferees and I-Bankers) have waived their rights to receive a CVR relating to those privately placed shares (such eligible holders of JWAC Common Stock to receive CVRs, being the “CVR Eligible JWAC Holders”).

This summary of the CVRs will be supplemented by amendment to this Registration Statement when the form of the CVR agreement has been agreed upon by the parties.

284

COMPARISON OF SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS

General

The following is a summary comparison of the material differences between the rights of JWAC stockholders and the rights that former JWAC stockholders will have as stockholders of Pubco under the Business Combination Agreement and the Proposed Charter effective following the Closing. The discussion in this section does not include a description of rights or obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws or Nasdaq rules. Such rights or obligations generally apply equally to shares of JWAC Common Stock and Pubco Ordinary Shares.

JWAC is incorporated under Delaware law, and both Chijet and Pubco are organized under the law of the Cayman Islands. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, both JWAC and Chijet will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco which is organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and will received Ordinary Shares of Pubco.

Both JWAC and Pubco are companies incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, and so both operate under and subject to the DGCL. More details about the rights of Pubco stockholders can be found in the section titled “Description of Securities of Pubco”. This summary is not intended to be a complete discussion of the respective rights of JWAC stockholders and Pubco stockholders and may not contain all of the information that is important to you, but is focused upon the differences that may be considered material to you. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the DGCL and the laws of the Cayman Islands and the governing documents of JWAC and Pubco, which we urge you to read carefully and in their entirety.

JWAC and Pubco urge you to carefully read this entire proxy statement/prospectus, the relevant provisions of the DGCL and the other documents to which we refer in this proxy statement/prospectus for a more complete understanding of the differences between the rights of a JWAC stockholder and the rights of Pubco stockholder.

JWAC has filed its governing documents with the SEC and will send copies of these documents to you, without charge, upon your request. See the section titled “Where You Can Find More Information”. The forms of Proposed Charter, which will be adopted at the Closing, are included as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus.

The applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) differ from laws applicable to corporations organized in the Cayman Islands and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of certain differences between the provisions of the DGCL and Cayman Islands laws relating to shareholders’ rights and protections. This summary is not intended to be a complete discussion of the respective rights and it is qualified in its entirety by reference to Cayman Islands law and the DGCL.

	Delaware	Cayman Islands
Number of Directors	A corporation must have at least one director and the number of directors is fixed by, or in the manner provided in, the bylaws, unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation fixes the number of directors, in which case a change in the number of directors shall be made only by amendment of the certificate.	Subject to the memorandum and articles of association, the board of directors of a Cayman Islands company may increase the size of the board and fill any vacancies.

Removal of Directors	Any director or the entire board of directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors, except (i) unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise, in the case of a corporation whose board of directors is classified, stockholders may effect such removal only for cause; or (ii) in the case of a corporation having cumulative voting, if less than the entire board of directors is to be removed, no director may be removed without cause if the votes cast against his removal would be sufficient to elect him if then cumulatively voted at an election of the entire board of directors, or, if there are classes of directors, at an election of the class of directors of which he is apart.	A company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide that a director may be removed for any or no reason and that, in addition to shareholders, boards may be granted the power to remove a director.

285

	Delaware	Cayman Islands
Vacancies on the Board of Directors	Vacancies may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office (even though less than a quorum) or by a sole remaining director unless (i) otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation or (ii) the certificate of incorporation directs that a particular class of stock is to elect such director, in which case a majority of the other directors elected by such class, or a sole remaining director elected by such class, will fill such vacancy.	Subject to the memorandum and articles of association, the board of directors have the power to appoint additional directors in order to fill any vacancies.

Annual General Meeting	The annual meeting of stockholders is held at such place, on such date and at such time as may be designated from time to time by the board of directors or as provided in the certificate of incorporation or by the bylaws. Unless directors are elected by written consent in lieu of an annual meeting, an annual meeting of stockholders must be held for the election of directors on a date and at a time designated by or in the manner provided in the bylaws. Stockholders may, unless the certificate of incorporation otherwise provides, act by written consent to elect directors; provided, however, that, if such consent is less than unanimous, such action by written consent may be in lieu of holding an annual meeting only if all of the directorships to which directors could be elected at an annual meeting held at the effective time of such action are vacant and are filled by such action. Any other proper business may be transacted at the annual meeting.	Under the Cayman Islands law and subject to the articles of association, there is no requirement for a Cayman Islands exempted company to hold an annual general meeting.

General Meeting	General meetings of stockholders may be held at such place as may be designated by or in the manner provided in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or if not so designated, as determined by the board of directors. Special meetings of the stockholders may be called by the board of directors or by such persons as may be authorized by the certificate of incorporation or by the bylaws.	Subject to the articles of association, a general meeting of the shareholders of a Cayman Islands exempted company may be called by the directors.

Notice of General Meetings	Written notice of any meeting of the stockholders must be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting, as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting. The notice must state the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such date is different from the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.	Subject to a company’s articles of association providing for a longer period, under the Cayman Islands Companies Act, (i) at least five days’ notice has been served on every member; and in default of any regulations as to the persons to summon meetings, three members shall be competent to summon general meetings and any resolutions to be proposed at the meeting.

286

	Delaware	Cayman Islands
Quorum	Unless the articles of incorporation or the bylaws provide otherwise, a majority of the shares entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders.	Subject to the provisions of a company’s articles of association, the Cayman Islands Companies Act provides that three shareholders personally present shall be a quorum at a meeting.

Proxy	At any meeting of stockholders, a stockholder may designate another person to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A director of a Delaware corporation may not issue a proxy representing the director’s voting rights as a director.	Under the Cayman Islands Companies Act, at any meeting of shareholders, a shareholder may designate another person to attend, speak and vote at the meeting on their behalf by proxy.

	Delaware	Cayman Islands
Preemptive Rights	Stockholders have no preemptive rights to subscribe to additional issues of stock or to any security convertible into such stock unless, and except to the extent that, such rights are expressly provided for in the certificate of incorporation.	Subject to the provisions of a company’s articles of association, under the Cayman Islands law, shareholders have no preemptive rights to subscribe to additional issues of shares or to any security convertible into such shares.

Authority to Allot	If the corporation’s certificate of incorporation so provides, the board of directors has the power to authorize the issuance of stock. It may authorize capital stock to be issued for consideration consisting of cash, any tangible or intangible property or any benefit to the corporation or any combination thereof. It may determine the amount of such consideration by approving a formula. In the absence of actual fraud in the transaction, the judgment of the directors as to the value of such consideration is conclusive.	Under the Cayman Islands Companies Act and subject to the memorandum and articles of association, the Directors may allot, issue, grant options over or otherwise dispose of shares (including fractions of a share) with or without preferred, deferred or other rights or restrictions, whether in regard to dividends or other distributions, voting, return of capital or otherwise and to such persons, at such times and on such other terms as they think proper.

Liability of Directors and Officers

A corporation’s certificate of incorporation may include a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation and its stockholders for damages arising from a breach of fiduciary duty as a director. However, no provision can limit the liability of a director for:

Liability of directors may be limited, except with regard to their own fraud or willful default.

	●	any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;
	●	acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
	●	intentional or negligent payment of unlawful dividends or stock purchases or redemptions; or
	●	any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.

Shareholder Vote on Certain Transactions

Generally, under Delaware law, unless the certificate of incorporation provides for a greater vote, any merger, consolidation, sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of a corporation’s assets or dissolution requires:

The Cayman Islands Companies Act provides for schemes of arrangement, which are arrangements or compromises between a company and any class of shareholders or creditors and used in certain types of reconstructions, amalgamations, capital reorganizations or takeovers. These arrangements require:

●
the approval of the board of directors; and

● the approval at a shareholders’ or creditors’ meeting convened by order of the court, of a majority in number of shareholders or creditors representing 75% in value of the capital held by, or debt owed to, the class of shareholders or creditors, respectively, present and voting, either in person or by proxy; and

● approval by the vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereof and, if the certificate of incorporation provides for a separate vote of any class or series of stock, the approval by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or series of stock of a corporation entitled to vote on the matter. ● the approval of the court.

Standard of Conduct for Directors

Delaware law does not contains specific provisions setting forth the standard of conduct of a director. The scope of the fiduciary duties of directors is generally determined by the courts of the State of Delaware. In general, directors have a duty to act without self-interest, on a well-informed basis and in a manner they reasonably believe to be in the best interest of the stockholders.

Directors of a Delaware corporation owe fiduciary duties of care and loyalty to the corporation and to its stockholders. The duty of care generally requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. In general, but subject to certain exceptions, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Delaware courts have also imposed a heightened standard of conduct upon directors of a Delaware corporation who take any action designed to defeat a threatened change in control of the corporation.

In addition, under Delaware law, when the board of directors of a Delaware corporation approves the sale or break-up of a corporation, the board of directors may, in certain circumstances, have a duty to obtain the highest value reasonably available to the stockholders.

A director owes fiduciary duties to a company, including to exercise loyalty, honesty and good faith to the company as a whole.

In addition to fiduciary duties, directors owe a duty of care, diligence and skill.

Such duties are owed to the company but may be owed direct to creditors or shareholders in certain limited circumstances.

Shareholder Litigation

A stockholder may initiate a derivative action to enforce a right of a corporation if the corporation fails to enforce the right itself. The complaint must: state that the plaintiff was a stockholder at the time of the transaction of which the plaintiff complains or that the plaintiffs shares thereafter devolved on the plaintiff by operation of law; and either (i) allege with particularity the efforts made by the plaintiff to obtain the action the plaintiff desires from the directors and the reasons for the plaintiff’s failure to obtain the action, or (ii) or state the reasons for not making the effort.

Additionally, the plaintiff must remain a stockholder through the duration of the derivative suit. The action will not be dismissed or compromised without the approval of the Delaware Court of Chancery.

In the Cayman Islands, the decision to institute proceedings on behalf of a company is generally taken by the company’s board of directors. A shareholder may be entitled to bring a derivative action on behalf of the company, but only in certain limited circumstances.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Upon the Closing, Pubco will have 499,000,000 shares of Pubco Ordinary Shares authorized and, based on assumptions set out elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, up to 183,391,795 shares of Pubco Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding. All of the shares of Pubco Ordinary Shares issued in connection with the Business Combination will be freely transferable by persons other than by Pubco’s “affiliates” or JWAC’s or Chijet’s “affiliates” without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. Sales of substantial amounts of the Pubco Ordinary Shares in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices of the Pubco Ordinary Shares. Prior to the Business Combination, there has been no public market for shares of Pubco Ordinary Shares. Pubco intends to apply for listing of the Pubco Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq, but Pubco cannot assure you that a regular trading market will develop in the Pubco Ordinary Shares.

Lock-Up Agreements

Simultaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Pubco entered into lock-up agreements (each, a “Lock-Up Agreement”), to become effective as of the Closing, with certain Sellers with respect to the Pubco Ordinary Shares to be received by such Sellers in the Share Exchange (such Seller’s “Exchange Shares”). In such Lock-Up Agreements, such Seller agreed that it will not, during the period commencing from the Closing and ending on the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing (or if earlier, the date on which Pubco consummates a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction with an unaffiliated third party that results in all of Pubco’s shareholders having the right to exchange their equity holdings in Pubco for cash, securities or other property) (the “Lock-Up Period”) (i) lend, offer, pledge (except as provided below), hypothecate, encumber, donate, assign, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of such Seller’s Exchange Shares, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any of such Seller’s Exchange Shares, or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely with respect to 50% of such Exchange Shares, the Lock-Up Period, if not earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the Lock-Up Agreement, will be deemed to terminate on the date after the Closing on which the closing price of Pubco’s publicly traded Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.50 per share for any 20 days within a 30-day trading period after the Closing. However, each such Seller will be allowed to transfer any of its Exchange Shares by gift, will or intestate succession or to any immediate family member (or related trust), trustor or trust beneficiary, as a distribution to equity holders upon liquidation or to an affiliate or pursuant to a court order or settlement agreement in divorce; provided in each such case that the transferee thereof agrees to be bound by the restrictions set forth in the Lock-Up Agreement. The Sellers who sign Lock-Up Agreements will also be permitted to pledge their shares during the Lock-Up Period so long as the pledgee agrees not to exercise its remedies with respect to the Exchange Shares during the Lock-Up Period.

Rule 144

All of Pubco Ordinary Shares that will be outstanding upon the completion of the Business Combination, other than those shares of Pubco Ordinary Shares registered pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form F-4 of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, will be “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act and may be sold publicly in the United States only if they are subject to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirement such as those provided by Rule 144 and Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act. In general, beginning 90 days after the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who, at the time of a sale, is not, and has not been during the three months preceding the sale, an affiliate of Pubco and has beneficially owned Pubco’ restricted securities for at least six months will be entitled to sell the restricted securities without registration under the Securities Act, subject only to the availability of current public information about Pubco. Persons who are affiliates of Pubco and have beneficially owned Pubco’ restricted securities for at least six months may sell a number of restricted securities within any three-month period that does not exceed the greater of the following:

	●	1% of the then outstanding equity shares of the same class which, immediately after the Merger, will equal equity shares; or
	●	the average weekly trading volume of Pubco Ordinary Shares of the same class during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of the sale is filed with the SEC.

Sales by affiliates of Pubco under Rule 144 are also subject to certain requirements relating to manner of sale, notice and the availability of current public information about Pubco.

Regulation S

Regulation S under the Securities Act provides an exemption from registration requirements in the United States for offers and sales of securities that occur outside the United States. Rule 903 of Regulation S provides the conditions to the exemption for a sale by an issuer, a distributor, their respective affiliates or anyone acting on their behalf, while Rule 904 of Regulation S provides the conditions to the exemption for a resale by persons other than those covered by Rule 903. In each case, any sale must be completed in an offshore transaction, as that term is defined in Regulation S, and no directed selling efforts, as that term is defined in Regulation S, may be made in the United States.

290

Pubco is a foreign issuer as defined in Regulation S. As a foreign issuer, securities that Pubco sells outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S are not considered to be restricted securities under the Securities Act, and, subject to the offering restrictions imposed by Rule 903, are freely tradable without registration or restrictions under the Securities Act, unless the securities are held by Pubco’s affiliates. Generally, subject to certain limitations, holders of Pubco’s restricted shares who are not affiliates of Pubco or who are affiliates of Pubco by virtue of their status as an officer or director of Pubco may, under Regulation S, resell their restricted shares in an “offshore transaction” if none of the seller, its affiliate nor any person acting on their behalf engages in directed selling efforts in the United States and, in the case of a sale of Pubco restricted shares by an officer or director who is an affiliate of Pubco solely by virtue of holding such position, no selling commission, fee or other remuneration is paid in connection with the offer or sale other than the usual and customary broker’s commission that would be received by a person executing such transaction as agent. Additional restrictions are applicable to a holder of Pubco restricted shares who will be an affiliate of Pubco other than by virtue of his or her status as an officer or director of Pubco.

Pubco is not claiming the potential exemption offered by Regulation S in connection with the offering of newly issued shares outside the United States and will register all of the newly issued shares under the Securities Act.

Rule 701

In general, under Rule 701 of the Securities Act as currently in effect, each of Pubco’s or any of its eligible subsidiaries’ employees, consultants or advisors who purchases equity shares from Pubco in connection with a compensatory stock plan or other written agreement executed prior to the completion of the Business Combination is eligible to resell those equity shares in reliance on Rule 144, but without compliance with some of the restrictions, including the holding period, contained in Rule 144. However, the Rule 701 shares would remain subject to lock-up arrangements and would only become eligible for sale when the lock-up period expires.

Registration Rights

The Business Combination Agreement provides that, at or before the Closing, and effective as of the Closing, JWAC, Pubco, the Sellers, and the holders of a majority of the “Registrable Securities” pursuant to the Founder Registration Rights Agreement, will enter into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement”). The Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement will obligate Pubco to register for resale under the Securities Act all or any portion of (i) the Pubco Ordinary Shares received by the Sellers in the Share Exchange (the “Exchange Investor Registrable Securities”), and (ii) the Pubco Ordinary Shares to be received by the Sponsor and certain other founding investors of JWAC in respect of their JWAC founder shares pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Initial Investor Registrable Securities”, and together with the Exchange Investor Registrable Securities, as well as, in each case, with any warrants, capital shares or other securities issued as a dividend or distribution with respect thereto or in exchange therefor, the “ Registrable Securities”), except that Registrable Securities that are subject to contractual transfer restrictions may not be requested to be registered or registered until the end of the applicable lock-up period.

After the Closing, (i) Sellers holding a majority-in-interest of the Exchange Investor Registrable Securities, or (ii) Initial Investors holding a majority-in-interest of the Initial Investor Registrable Securities, will be entitled under the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement to make a written demand for registration under the Securities Act of all or part of their Registrable Securities, and other holders of Registrable Securities will be entitled to join in such demand registration. Subject to certain exceptions, if any time after the Closing, Pubco proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to its securities, under the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, Pubco shall give notice to the holders of Registrable Securities as to the proposed filing and offer them an opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as requested by them in writing, subject to customary cut-backs. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, holders of Registrable Securities will be entitled under the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement to request in writing that Pubco register the resale of any or all of such Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or F-3 and any similar short-form registration that may be available at such time.

Under the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, Pubco will indemnify the holders of Registrable Securities and certain persons or entities related to them, such as their officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives, against any losses or damages resulting from any untrue statement or omission of a material fact in any registration statement or prospectus pursuant to which they sell Registrable Securities, unless such liability arose from their misstatement or omission, and the holders of Registrable Securities, including Registrable Securities in any registration statement or prospectus, will agree to indemnify Pubco and certain persons or entities related to Pubco, such as its officers and directors and underwriters, against all losses caused by their misstatements or omissions in those documents.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information regarding (i) the actual beneficial ownership of JWAC Common Stock as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus (pre-Business Combination) and (ii) the expected beneficial ownership of Pubco Ordinary Shares immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, by:

	●	each person who is known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of JWAC Common Stock and/or is expected to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding Pubco Ordinary Shares post-Business Combination;

	●	all executive officers and directors of JWAC as a group pre-Business Combination and all executive officers and directors of Pubco as a group post-Business Combination.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days.

The beneficial ownership of JWAC Common Stock pre-Business Combination is based on 14,705,000 shares of JWAC Common Stock and 3,450,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, issued and outstanding as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

The expected beneficial ownership of Pubco Ordinary Shares post-Business Combination is based on 177,977,795 Pubco Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately following the closing of the Business Combination.

The ownership percentage set forth below with respect to Pubco includes the shares issuable to holders of Chijet’s Ordinary Shares, including the shares reserved for issuance relating to Earnout Shares. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed consolidated Combined Financial Information” for further information.

Unless otherwise indicated, JWAC and Pubco believe that all that all persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of capital stock beneficially owned by them.

At any time prior to the Meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding JWAC or its securities, the JWAC Initial Stockholders, officers and directors as well as Chijet and/or their affiliates, may enter into a written plan to purchase JWAC securities pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, and may engage in other public market purchases, as well as private purchases, of securities. The ownership percentages listed below do not include any such shares that may be purchased after the Record Date.

At any time prior to the Meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding JWAC or its securities, the JWAC Initial Stockholders, officers and directors as well as Chijet or Chijet’s shareholders and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the Business Combination Proposal, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from them in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such persons and others to provide them with incentives to acquire shares of JWAC common stock or vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. The JWAC Initial Stockholders, or Chijet’s shareholder and/or their respective affiliates anticipate that they may identify the stockholders with whom the JWAC Initial Stockholders, or Chijet’s shareholder and/or their respective affiliates may pursue privately negotiated purchases by either the stockholders contacting JWAC directly or by JWAC’s receipt of redemption requests submitted by stockholders following the mailing of this proxy statement/prospectus. To the extent that the JWAC Initial Stockholders, or Chijet’s shareholder and/or their respective affiliates enter into a private purchase, they would identify and contact only potential selling stockholders who have expressed their election to vote against the business combination. The JWAC Initial Stockholders, or Chijet’s shareholder and/or their respective affiliates will only purchase shares if such purchases comply with Regulation M under the Exchange Act and the other federal securities laws. Any purchases by the JWAC Initial Stockholders, or Chijet’s shareholder and/or their respective affiliates who are affiliated purchasers under Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act will only be made to the extent such purchases are able to be made in compliance with Rule 10b-18, which is a safe harbor from liability for manipulation under Section 9(a)(2) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Rule 10b-18 has certain technical requirements that must be complied with in order for the safe harbor to be available to the purchaser. The JWAC Initial Stockholders, or Chijet’s shareholder and/or their respective affiliates will not make purchases of any shares if the purchases would violate Section 9(a)(2) or Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act.

The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that the stockholders of JWAC approve the Business Combination Proposal, that JWAC will have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets upon the consummation of the Business Combination after taking into account holders of Public Shares that properly demanded Redemption of their Public Shares into cash, when it appears that such requirements would otherwise not be met. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of shares or Warrants owned by the JWAC Initial Stockholders for nominal value.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the shares of JWAC common stock. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have JWAC, Chijet or their respective affiliates effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares it owns, either prior to or immediately after the Meeting.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there have been no such discussions and no agreements to such effect have been entered into with any such investor or holder. JWAC will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the proposals included herein or the Redemption threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

Chijet Motor Company, Inc. (“Pubco”) is an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands because of certain benefits associated with being a Cayman Islands exempted company, such as political and economic stability, an effective judicial system, a favorable tax system, the absence of foreign exchange control or currency restrictions and the availability of professional and support services. However, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States and provides less protection for investors. In addition, Cayman Islands companies do not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States.

Substantially all of Pubco’s assets are located outside the United States. In addition, a majority of Pubco’s directors and officers are nationals or residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and all or a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon Pubco or these persons, or to bring an action against Pubco or against these persons in the United States, in the event that you believe that your rights have been infringed under the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States. It may also be difficult for you to enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against Chijet Corp Holdings Limited and its officers and directors. Pubco has appointed Puglisi & Associates as its agent to receive service of process in the United States.

Maples and Calder (Cayman) LLP (“Maples”), our legal counsel as to Cayman Islands law, has advised us that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands would (1) recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against Pubco or its directors or officers, predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States, or (2) entertain original actions brought in the Cayman Islands against Pubco or its directors or officers, predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met.

Maples has informed us that although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the federal or state courts of the United States (and the Cayman Islands are not a party to any treaties for the reciprocal enforcement or recognition of such judgments), a judgment obtained in such jurisdiction will be recognized and enforced in the courts of the Cayman Islands at common law, without any re-examination of the merits of the underlying dispute, by an action commenced on the foreign judgment debt in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, provided such judgment (a) is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction, (b) imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given, (c) is final, (d) is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty, (e) is not inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgement of the same matter, (f) is not impeachable on grounds of fraud, and (g) was not obtained in a manner and is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands. However, the Cayman Islands courts are unlikely to enforce a judgment obtained from the U.S. courts under civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities law if such judgment is determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands to give rise to obligations to make payments that are penal or punitive in nature. Because such a determination has not yet been made by a court of the Cayman Islands, it is uncertain whether such civil liability judgments from U.S. courts would be enforceable in the Cayman Islands.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the Ordinary Shares of Pubco offered by this proxy statement/prospectus and certain other Cayman Islands legal matters will be passed upon for Maples and Calder (Cayman) LLP. Certain legal matters relating to U.S. law will be passed upon for Pubco and Chijet by Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP.

SUBMISSION OF SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

Shareholder Proposals

Pubco’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, or Pubco’s Governing Documents, do not establish a procedure for shareholders who wish to present a proposal before an annual general meeting of shareholders. Pubco’s Governing Documents provide that the only business that may be conducted at an annual general meeting of shareholders is business that is properly brought before such meeting by or at the direction of Pubco’s board of directors.

Pubco’s Governing Documents do provide a means for shareholders holding at the date of deposit of the requisition not less than one-third of the share capital of Pubco as at that date carries the right of voting at general meetings of Pubco. The requisition must state the objects of the meeting and must be signed by the requisitionists and deposited at Pubco’s principal place of business (with a copy forwarded to the registered office), and may consist of several documents in like form each signed by one or more requisitionists. If the directors do not within 21 calendar days from the date of the deposit of the requisition duly proceed to convene a general meeting to be held within a further 21 calendar days, the requisitionists, or any of them representing more than one half of the total voting rights of all of them, may themselves convene a general meeting, but any meeting so convened shall not be held after the expiration of three months after the expiration of the second said 21 calendar days.

Shareholder Director Nominees

Pubco’s Governing Documents do not provide for shareholders to nominate directors for appointment at an annual general meeting or at a special meeting.

FUTURE SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

If the Business Combination is consummated and Pubco holds a 2023 annual general meeting of shareholders, it will provide notice of or otherwise publicly disclose the date on which the 2023 annual meeting will be held. Following completion of the Business Combination, Pubco is expected to qualify as a “foreign private issuer” under the rules and regulations of the SEC. As a foreign private issuer, Pubco will be exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that would otherwise apply if Pubco were a company incorporated in the United States or did not meet the other conditions to qualify as a foreign private issuer, including the requirement to file proxy solicitation materials on Schedule 14A in connection with annual or special meetings of its security holders. For more information, see “Management of Pubco Following the Business Combination — Corporate Governance Practices.”

JUPITER WELLNESS ACQUISITION CORP.

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2022

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations

Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated on September 14, 2021 under the laws of the State of Delaware for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”). The Company has not selected any potential business combination target, and the Company has not, nor has anyone on its behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any potential business combination target with respect to an initial business combination with the Company. While the Company may, subject to certain limitations, pursue a Business Combination target with operations or prospects in the digital healthcare and AI in medicine sector in the global market.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through June 30, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation and the its initial Public Offering (as defined below). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The Company has selected September 30 as its fiscal year end.

On December 9, 2021, the Company consummated its IPO of 13,800,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per unit, which included 1,800,000 Units issued pursuant to the full exercise by the Underwriters (as defined below) of their over-allotment option, and the private sale of an aggregate of 629,000 Units (the “Private Placement Units” and with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units, the “Private Placement Shares”) to its sponsor, Jupiter Wellness Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) and I-Bankers Securities, Inc. (“I-Bankers”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $6,290,000 to the Company that closed simultaneously with the closing of the IPO (see Note 3). The Company’s Units have been listed on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”).

Transaction costs amounted to $7,985,917 consisting of $2,760,000 in cash of underwriting commissions, $4,830,000 of business combination marketing fee, and $395,917 of other offering costs. In addition, as of December 9, 2021, cash of $1,630,676 was held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) and is available for working capital purposes.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete a Business Combination with one or more operating businesses or assets that together have an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes, if permitted, and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting commissions) at the time of the Company’s signing a definitive agreement in connection with its initial Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires an interest in the target business or assets sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

Upon the closing of the IPO on December 9, 2021, the Company deposited $139,380,000 ($10.10 per Unit) from the proceeds of the IPO and certain proceeds of the sales of Private Placement Units in the trust account (“Trust Account”), located in the United States and invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds held in the Trust Account, as described below.

F-6

Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations (Continued)

The Company will provide its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount held in the Trust Account (initially $10.10 per share), calculated as of two business days prior to the completion of a Business Combination, including any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations. The shares of Class A common stock will be recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to (i) waive its redemption rights with respect to their Private Placement Shares in connection with the completion of the Business Combination, (ii) waive its redemption rights with respect to their Private Placement Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (a) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete the Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (b) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity and (iii) waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Private Placement Shares if the Company fails to complete the Business Combination within the Combination Period. In addition, the Sponsor has agreed to vote any share it held in favor of the Business Combination.

Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem its Public Shares, without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against a proposed Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent.

The Company will have until 12 months from the closing of the IPO (or 18 months from the closing of the IPO if the Company may extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination) (the “Combination Period”) to complete a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding 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 (less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and requirements of other applicable law.

Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations (Continued)

The Sponsor has agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares (as defined below) and Private Placement Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the IPO, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their business combination marketing fees (see Note 5) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the IPO price per Unit ($10.10).

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company, if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or by 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) $10.10 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 trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s independent auditors), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Underwriting Agreement and Business Combination Marketing Agreement

The Company engaged I-Bankers as the representative of the underwriters (the “Underwriters”) in the IPO of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value of $0.0001 per share (“Shares”), for $120 million and the simultaneous listing on Nasdaq. Pursuant to that certain underwriting agreement, I-Bankers acted as the representative of the Underwriters of the IPO for 12,000,000 Units at $10.00 per unit, plus an over-allotment option equal to 15% of the number of Units offered, or 1,800,000 Units, which was exercised in full simultaneously upon the closing of the IPO. The Company paid I-Bankers underwriters’ commission of $2,760,000, equal to 2.0% of the gross proceeds raised in the IPO for such services upon the consummation of the IPO (exclusive of any applicable finders’ fees which might become payable).

Upon the closing of the IPO, the Company issued to I-Bankers a five-year warrant to purchase 414,000 Shares of Class A common stock, equal to 3.0% of the Shares issued in the IPO (“Representative Warrants”). The exercise price of Representative Warrants is $12.00 per Share. In addition, I-Bankers was issued 276,000 shares of Class A common stock upon the consummation of IPO (“Representative Shares”). . In addition, according to the terms of a privately placed warrant granted by Shandong Baoya New Energy Vehicle Co., Ltd., (“Baoya”) to Greentree Financial Group Inc. (“Greentree”), a financial consultant of Baoya ( “GT Warrant”), GT Warrant will be replaced with an equivalent warrant exercisable into Pubco Ordinary Shares, comprising 5,000,000 Pubco Ordinary Shares.

In addition, under a business combination marketing agreement, the Company has engaged I-Bankers as an advisor in connection with the Business Combination and will pay I-Bankers a cash fee for such marketing services upon the consummation of the Business Combination in an amount equal to, in the aggregate, 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, including any proceeds from the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. The fee will become payable to the Underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations (Continued)

Going Concern Consideration

The Company expects to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that if the Company is unsuccessful in consummating an initial business combination within the prescribed period of time from the closing of the IPO, the requirement that the Company cease all operations, redeem the public shares and thereafter liquidate and dissolve raises substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern. The balance sheet does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management has determined that the Company has funds that are sufficient to fund the working capital needs of the Company until the consummation of an initial business combination or the winding up of the Company as stipulated in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum of association. The accompanying financial statement has been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations, and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of this financial statement. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act and 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 nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

F-9

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Emerging Growth Company Status (Continued)

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 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 financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement 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 financial statement, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company had $896,510 and $363,135 in cash as of June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. 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, 2022.

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At June 30, 2022, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury securities. All of the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account in the accompanying condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information. $139,558,041 and $0 was held in the Trust Account as of June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, respectively.

Offering Costs Associated with the IPO

The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1. Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the IPO that were directly related to the IPO. The Company incurred offering costs amounting to $7,985,917 as a result of the IPO consisting of $2,760,000 in cash of underwriting commissions, $4,830,000 of business combination marketing fee, and $395,917 of other offering costs. As of June 30, 2022, offering costs in the aggregate of $3,155,917 have been charged to stockholders’ equity and $4,830,000 have been classified to current liabilities.

F-10

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

All of the 13,800,000 shares of Class A common stock sold as part of the Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature. In accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification 480-10-S99-3A “Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities”, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares of common stock resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit. Accordingly, at June 30, 2022, the shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in the amount of $139,380,000 were presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution which, at times, may exceed the federal depository insurance coverage corporation limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

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 sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Business Combination Marketing Fee

Pursuant to the business combination marketing agreement, the Company has engaged I-Bankers as an advisor in connection with the Business Combination and will pay I-Bankers a cash fee for such marketing services upon the consummation of the Business Combination in an amount equal to, in the aggregate, 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, including any proceeds from the full or partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation costs to employees under FASB Accounting Standards Codification 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share based compensation arrangements include stock options and warrants. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.

On September 14, 2021, the inception date, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-07 “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” These amendments expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned.

Income Taxes

The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of FASB ASC, 740, “Income Taxes”. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

F-11

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Income Taxes (continued)

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. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2022 or September 31, 2021. Deferred tax assets were deemed to be de minimis as of June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.

FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.

The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

The provision for income taxes was deemed to be de minimis for the period ended June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.

Warrants

ASC 480 requires a reporting entity to classify certain freestanding financial instruments as liabilities (or in some cases as assets). ASC 480-10-S99 addresses concerns raised by the SEC regarding the financial statement classification and measurement of securities subject to mandatory redemption requirements or whose redemption is outside the control of the issuer. If the stock subject to mandatory redemption provisions represents the only shares in the reporting entity, it must report instruments in the liabilities section of its statement of financial position. The stock subject must then describe them as shares subject to mandatory redemption, so as to distinguish the instruments from other financial statement liabilities. The Company concludes that the warrants to I-Bankers do not exhibit any of the above characteristics and, therefore, are outside the scope of ASC 480. The warrants were issued in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. Such guidance provides that because the warrants meet the criteria for equity treatment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

NOTE 3 — PUBLIC OFFERING

At the IPO, the Company sold 13,800,000 Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, which included 1,800,000 Units issued pursuant to the full exercise by the Underwriters of their over-allotment option, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $138,000,000. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A common stock”), and one right to receive one-eighth of one share of Class A common stock upon the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination (see Note 6).

A total of $139,380,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units was placed in a U.S.-based Trust Account maintained by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, acting as trustee.

NOTE 4 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On September 20, 2021, the Sponsor purchased 2,875,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000.

In December 2021, the Company effected a 0.2 for 1 stock dividend for each share of Class B common stock outstanding (which has been accounted for as a stock split) of 575,000 shares of Class B common stock, which resulted in an aggregate of 3,450,000 shares of Class B common stock outstanding. All share and associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the share dividend.

F-12

The Founder Shares include an aggregate of up to 450,000 shares of Class B common stock subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment is not exercised in full or in part, so that the number of Founder Shares will collectively represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares upon the completion of the IPO. On December 9, 2021, the Underwriter exercised the over-allotment option in full. As a result, no Founder Shares is subject to for forfeiture (see Note 3).

Private Placement

Concurrently with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor and the Underwriters purchased an aggregate of 629,000 Private Placement Units, generating gross proceeds of $6,290,000 in aggregate in a private placement. Each Private Placement Unit will consist of one share of Class A common stock and one right. Each right underlying the Private Placement Unit (the “Private Placement Right”) will entitle the holder to receive one-eighth of one share of Class A common stock at the closing of a Business Combination. The proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units have been added to the net proceeds from the IPO held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Placements Units and all underlying securities will expire worthless.

The Private Placement Units (including the underlying Private Placement Rights, the Private Placement Shares and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of the Private Placement Rights) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination (except as described under the section of the IPO prospectus entitled “Principal Stockholders — Restrictions on Transfers of Founder Shares and Private Placement Units”). Following such period, the Private Placement Units (including the underlying Private Placement Rights, the Private Placement Shares and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of the Private Placement Rights) will be transferable, assignable or salable, except that the Private Placement Units will not trade.

Accrued Expenses - Related Parties

Pursuant to the executed Offer Letters, the Company agreed to pay the Company’s Chief Financial Officer $5,000 in cash per month starting from December 9, 2021. As of June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the Company had accrued expenses – related parties in amount of $13,667 and $0 in connection with the accrued compensation to the Company’s management and directors.

Sponsor Note Payable

NOTE 4 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (Continued)

Working Capital Loans

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into private placement-equivalent units at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. Such units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of June 30, 2022, no Working Capital Loans were outstanding.

NOTE 5 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Units (and their underlying securities), the Representative Shares, the Representative Warrants (and their underlying securities), the 300,000 shares of Class A common stock issuable to the Company’s directors and officers within 10 days following the Business Combination and any Units that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and their underlying securities) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the IPO requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to Class A common stock). The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidated damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company had granted the Underwriters a 30-day option from the date of IPO to purchase up to 1,800,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions.

Simultaneously upon the closing of the IPO, the Underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full. As such, the Underwriters were paid an underwriting discount and commission of $0.20 per Unit, or $2,760,000 in the aggregate payable upon the closing of the IPO, and I-Bankers was entitled to a business combination marketing fee of $4,830,000 in the aggregate, which is held in the Trust Account and payable upon completion of the Business Combination.

NOTE 6 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Company is authorized to issue a total of 111,000,000 shares, par value of $0.0001 per share, consisting of (a) 110,000,000 shares of common stock, including (i) 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, and (ii) 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, and (b) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”).

F-14

NOTE 6 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (Continued)

As of June 30, 2022, there were 905,000 shares of Class A common stock and 3,450,000 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding, which such amount having been restated to reflect a 0.2 for 1 stock dividend for each share of Class B common stock outstanding in December 2021 (excluding 13,800,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption).

Of the 3,450,000 shares of Class B common stock outstanding, an aggregate of up to 450,000 shares of Class B common stock were subject to forfeiture, to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor would collectively own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock after the IPO (assuming Sponsor does not purchase any Public Shares in the IPO). As a result of the Underwriters’ full exercise of the over-allotment option on December 9, 2021, no share of Class B common stock is subject to forfeiture.

As of June 30, 2022, no share of Preferred Stock was issued or outstanding. The designations, voting and other rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors.

Rights

Each holder of a right will receive one-eighth (1/8) of one share of Class A common stock upon consummation of a Business Combination. In the event the Company will not be the surviving entity upon completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, each holder of a public right will automatically receive the 1/8 share of Class A common stock underlying such public right (without paying any additional consideration); and each holder of a Private Placement Right or right underlying Units to be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans will be required to affirmatively convert its rights in order to receive the 1/8 share of Class A common stock underlying each right (without paying any additional consideration). If the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the required time period and public stockholders redeem the public shares for the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of rights will not receive any such funds in exchange for their rights and the rights will expire worthless. The Company will not issue fractional shares upon conversion of the rights. If, upon conversion of the rights, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company will, upon exchange, comply with Section 155 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Company will make the determination of how to treat fractional shares at the time of its initial Business Combination and will include such determination in the proxy materials that it will send to stockholders for their consideration of such initial Business Combination.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of rights will not receive any of such funds with respect to their rights, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such rights, and the rights will expire worthless. Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities to the holders of the rights upon consummation of a Business Combination. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the rights. Accordingly, the rights may expire worthless.

Representative Warrants and Representative Shares

Upon the closing of the IPO, the Company issued to the Underwriters Representative Warrants, the exercise price of which will be $12.00 per Share, and 276,000 Representative Shares.

The Representative Warrants shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, commencing the later of December 9, 2022 and the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination and terminating on December 9, 2026.

F-15

NOTE 6 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (Continued)

Representative Warrants and Representative Shares (Continued)

The Company accounted for the 414,000 warrants as an expense of the IPO resulting in a charge directly to stockholders’ equity. The fair value of Representative Warrants was estimated to be approximately $1,087,164 (or $2.626 per warrant) using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the Representative Warrants granted to the Underwriters was estimated as of the date of grant using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 35%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 1.18% and (3) expected life of five years. The Representative Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock underlying Representative Warrants have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up immediately following December 9, 2021 pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1).

The Representative Warrants grants to holders demand and “piggy back” rights for periods of five and seven years from December 9, 2021. The Company will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities, other than underwriting commissions which will be paid for by the holders themselves. The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Representative Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or the Company’s recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the Representative Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of Class A common stock at a price below its exercise price.

The Underwriters agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Representative Shares without the Company’s prior written consent until the completion of the Business Combination. The Underwriters agreed (i) to waive its redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination and (ii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Representative Shares if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within Combination Period. The shares have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following December 9, 2021 pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1).

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of

Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp. the “Company”) as of September 30, 2021, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity deficit, and cash flows for the period from September 14, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from September 14, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern Matter

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has no revenue, its business plan is dependent on the completion of a financing transaction and the Company’s cash and working capital are not sufficient to complete its planned activities for the upcoming year. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through September 30, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation and the Proposed Public Offering (as defined below). The Company has selected September 30 as its fiscal year end.

Underwriting Agreement and Business Combination Marketing Agreement

The Company has engaged I-Bankers Securities, Inc. (“I-Bankers”) as to act as underwriters (the “Underwriters”) on the proposed public offering of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value of $0.0001 per share (“Shares”), for $100 million and a simultaneous listing on Nasdaq (the “Proposed Public Offering”). This will be an initial public offering for the purpose of merging with or acquiring a company, otherwise known as a Special Purpose Acquisition Company or SPAC. Pursuant to an underwriting agreement, I-Bankers will provide the Company with financial services and assistance with respect to the Proposed Public Offering pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 for the agreed upon number of the Company’s newly issued Shares, plus an over-allotment option equal to 15% of the number of Shares being offered (exercisable for a period of up to thirty (30) days from the date the Proposed Public Offering is priced). The Company will pay I-Bankers a transaction fee equal to 2.0% of the gross proceeds raised in the Proposed Public Offering for such services upon the consummation of the Proposed Public Offering (exclusive of any applicable finders’ fees which might become payable).

Upon the closing of the Proposed Public Offering, the Company will issue to I-Bankers (a five-year) warrant to purchase a number of Shares equal to 3.0% of the Shares issued in the Proposed Public Offering. The exercise price of such warrant will be 120% of the offering price of the Shares in the Proposed Public Offering. In addition, I-Bankers shall be issued 200,000 shares of common stock (or 230,000 shares if I-Bankers’ overallotment option is exercised in full) upon the consummation of this Proposed Public Offering.

In addition, under a business combination marketing agreement, the Company will engage I-Bankers as an advisor in connection with the Business Combination and will pay I-Bankers a cash fee for such marketing services upon the consummation of the Business Combination in an amount equal to, in the aggregate, 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Proposed Public Offering, including any proceeds from the full or partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option.

Proposed Public Offering

In the Proposed Public Offering, the Company will offer for sale 10,000,000 units (the “Units”) (or 11,500,000 Units if the Underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit will consist of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock and one right. Each right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-eighth (1/8) of one share of Class A common stock upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

The Company’s ability to commence operations is contingent upon obtaining adequate financial resources through the Proposed Public Offering of 10,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit (or 11,500,000 Units if the Underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) (with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”) and the sale of 515,000 Units (or 560,000 Units if the Underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Unit in a private placement, of which 425,000 Units (or 470,000 Units if the Underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) to the Company’s sponsor, Jupiter Wellness Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”) and 90,000 Units to I-Bankers, that will close simultaneously with the Proposed Public Offering. The private placement units are identical to the units sold in this offering, subject to certain limited exceptions as described in this prospectus.

F-22

Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations (Continued)

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Proposed Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward completing a Business Combination. The Company must complete its initial Business Combination with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding any business combination marketing fees held in the Trust Account and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into a Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. Upon the closing of the Proposed Public Offering, management has agreed that $10.00 per Unit sold in the Proposed Public Offering, including proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Units, will be held in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s stockholders, as described below.

The Company will provide its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount held in the Trust Account (initially $10.10 per share), calculated as of two business days prior to the completion of a Business Combination, including any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations. The shares of Class A common stock will be recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Proposed Public Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such completion of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to (i) waive its redemption rights with respect to their Private Placement Shares (as defined below) in connection with the completion of the Business Combination, (ii) waive its redemption rights with respect to their Private Placement Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (a) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete the Business Combination within 12 months from the closing of the Proposed Public Offering (or up to 18 months from the closing of the Proposed Public Offering if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a Business Combination, as described in more detail in this prospectus) or (b) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity and (iii) waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Private Placement Shares if the Company fails to complete the Business Combination within 12 months from the closing of the Proposed Public Offering (or up to 18 months from the closing of the Proposed Public Offering if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a Business Combination, as described in more detail in this prospectus). In addition, the Sponsor has agreed to vote any Private Placement Shares held by them in favor of the Business Combination.

Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem its Public Shares, without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against a proposed Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent.

F-23

Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations (Continued)

The Company will have until 12 months from the closing of the Proposed Public Offering (or 18 months from the closing of the Proposed Public Offering if the Company may extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination) (the “Combination Period”) to complete a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding 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 (less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The Sponsor has agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Proposed Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their business combination marketing fees (see Note 5) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Proposed Public Offering price per Unit ($10.10).

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company, if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or by 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) $10.10 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 trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Proposed Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s independent auditors), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Going Concern Consideration

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $363,135 in cash, accumulated deficit of $21,015, and the cash flow used in operation during the period ended September 30, 2021 was $58,515. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to address this uncertainty through a Proposed Public Offering as discussed above. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to raise capital or to consummate a Business Combination will be successful within the Combination Period. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

F-24

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (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 nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has no cash equivalents.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Proposed Public Offering and that will be charged to stockholder’s equity upon the completion of the Proposed Public Offering. Should the Proposed Public Offering prove to be unsuccessful, these deferred costs, as well as additional expenses incurred, will be charged to operations.

Stock based compensation

On July 8, 2020, the inception date, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-07 “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” These amendments expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned.

F-25

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Net Loss per Common Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding for the period, excluding common shares subject to forfeiture. Weighted average shares were reduced for the effect of an aggregate of 375,000 common shares that are subject to forfeiture by the Company if the over-allotment option is not exercised by the underwriters. At September 30, 2021, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common shares and then share in the earnings (loss) of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share for the period.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. Since the Company was incorporated on September 14, 2021, the evaluation was performed for upcoming 2021 tax year which will be the only period subject to examination. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material changes to its financial position. The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of income tax expense.

The provision for income taxes was deemed to be immaterial for the period from September 14, 2020 (inception) to September 30, 2021.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

F-26

Note 3 — Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

As of September 30, 2021, 2,875,000 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock (the “Founder Shares”) were issued to the stockholders prior to the date of the prospectus (“Founders”) for an aggregate amount of $50,000, or $0.02 per share. The 2,875,000 Founder Shares include an aggregate of up 375,000 shares subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment is not exercised in full or in part, so that the Founder will own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Proposed Public Offering.

The Founder has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell 50% of the Founder Shares until the earlier of (i) six months after the date of the consummation of the Business Combination or (ii) the date on which the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock sub-divisions, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after the Business Combination and the remaining 50% of the Founder Shares may not be transferred, assigned or sold until six months after the date of the consummation of the Business Combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to the Business Combination, the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the stockholders having the right to exchange their common shares for cash, securities or other property.

Sponsor Note Payable

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had a loan payable to related party in amount of $371,650 with zero interest (the “Loan”). The principal balance of this Note is payable on the earlier of : (i) September 30, 2022 or (ii) the date on which the Company consummates an initial public offering of its securities. The Loan is unsecured. Under no circumstances shall any individual, including but not limited to any officer, director, employee or stockholder of the Company, be obligated personally for any obligations or liabilities of the Loan. The proceeds of the Loan are used to pay a portion of the offering expenses of this Proposed Public Offering. These amounts will be repaid upon completion of an initial business combination.

Note 4 — Private Placement

The Sponsor and I-Bankers has committed to purchase an aggregate of 515,000 Private Placement Units (or 560,000 Private Placement Units if the underwriters’ over-allotment is exercised in full) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, in each case, from the Company in a private placement that will occur simultaneously with the closing of the Proposed Public Offering. Each Private Unit will consist of one share of Class A common stock (“Private Placement Share”) and one right (“Private Placement Right”). Each Private Placement Right will entitle the holder to receive one-eighth of one share of Class A common stock at the closing of a Business Combination. The proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units will be added to the net proceeds from the Proposed Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Units will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Placements Units and all underlying securities will expire worthless.

Note 5 — Commitments and Contingency

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Units (and their underlying securities), the 300,000 shares of Class A common stock issuable to the Company’s directors and officers within 10 days following the Business Combination and any Units that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and underlying securities) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the Proposed Public Offering requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to Class A common stock). The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidated damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

F-27

Note 5 — Commitments and Contingency (Continued)

Underwriting Agreement

The Company will grant the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments at the Proposed Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters will be entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $2,000,000 in the aggregate (or $2,300,000 in the aggregate if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full), payable upon the closing of the Proposed Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters will be entitled to a business combination marketing fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $3,500,000 in the aggregate (or $4,025,000 in the aggregate if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full). The business combination marketing fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(b)

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

(c)

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Chijet and its subsidiaries for which Chijet is the primary beneficiary. All inter-company transactions and balances between Chijet and its subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation.

A subsidiary is an entity in which Chijet, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power (a) has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors (the “Board”) (b) to cast majority of votes at the meeting of the Board or to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee under a statute or agreement among the shareholders or equity holders.

F-35

(d)

Use of estimates

(e)

Functional currency and foreign currency translation

The Company’s reporting currency is the United States dollars (“US$”). The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiary which is incorporated in Hong Kong is United States dollars (“US$”). The functional currencies of the other subsidiaries are their respective local currencies (“RMB”). The determination of the respective functional currency is based on the criteria set out by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 830, Foreign Currency Matters.

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currency are re-measured using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

(f)

Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be either recorded or disclosed at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact, and it also considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

The Company applies a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. This guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques, which is based on whether the inputs into the valuation technique are observable or unobservable. The hierarchy is as follows:

Level I — Valuation techniques in which all significant inputs are unadjusted quoted prices from active markets for assets or liabilities that are identical to the assets or liabilities being measured.

Level II — Valuation techniques in which significant inputs include quoted prices from active markets for assets or liabilities that are similar to the assets or liabilities being measured and/or quoted prices for assets or liabilities that are identical or similar to the assets or liabilities being measured from markets that are not active. Also, model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets are Level II valuation techniques.

Level III — Valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are valuation technique inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The fair value guidance describes three main approaches to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities: (1) market approach; (2) income approach and (3) cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that would currently be required to replace an asset.

F-36

When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of an asset or liability. If quoted market prices are not available, the Company will measure fair value using valuation techniques that use, when possible, current market-based or independently sourced market parameters, such as interest rates and currency rates.

The Company values its short-term investment using alternative pricing sources and market observable inputs, and accordingly the Company classifies the valuation techniques that use these inputs as Level 2.

(g)

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of cash and demand deposits which are highly liquid. The Company considers highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and with original maturities from the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. All cash and cash equivalents are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use.

Restricted cash

Restricted cash represents (a) the cash is frozen relating to the court order; (b) the deposits held in designated bank accounts for security of the repayment of the notes payable. The restricted cash due to the court order primarily resulted from the legal proceeding related to the contract dispute (See note 22, Legal Proceedings). As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the restricted cash amounted to US$12,483,256 and US$19,951,923, respectively.

The restricted cash is presented separately on the consolidated balance sheets as follows:

(i)

Short-term investments

Short-term investments comprise primarily of investment in a bank-issued wealth management product with underlying investments in cash, bonds, and equity funds. The investment products are issued by China Minsheng Bank. The investments have no explicit maturity date and their carrying value approximate their fair value. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, short-term investments are US$149,336 (RMB 1,000,000) and nil, respectively.

F-37

(j)

Long-term investments

Long-term investments are comprised of investment in Jilin FAW Baosteel Auto Steel Parts Co., Ltd. (“Baosteel”) amounting to US$4,480,104 and US$4,859,900 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company held an approximately 30% equity interest in Baosteel as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The Company uses the equity method of accounting for its investment in, and earning or loss of, the company that it does not control but over which it does exert significant influence. The Company initially records its investment at cost and is included in the long-term investments on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company subsequently adjusts the carrying amount of the investment to recognize the Company’s proportionate share of each equity investee’s net income or loss into earnings after the date of investment. If an equity investment no longer qualifies to be accounted for under the equity method, the investment’s initial basis for which subsequent changes in value are measured should be the previous carrying amount of the investment.

The Company periodically reviews its equity investment for impairment. Under the equity method of accounting, an impairment loss would be recorded whenever the fair value of an equity investment is determined to be below its carrying value. The Company considers whether the fair value of its equity method investment has declined below its carrying value whenever adverse events or changes in circumstances indicate that recorded value may not be recoverable. An impairment charge would be recorded when the decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary. There was no impairment loss of long-term investment during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

(k)

Accounts and notes receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts

Accounts and notes receivable are recorded at the realizable value amount, net of allowance for doubtful accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in the period when loss is probable based on many factors, including the age of the balance, the customer’s payment history and credit quality of the customers, current economic trends and other factors that may affect the Company’s ability to collect from customers. Bad debts are written off after all collection efforts have been exhausted.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is calculated on the standard cost basis and includes all costs to acquire and other costs to bring the inventories to their present location and condition, which approximates actual cost on monthly weighted average method. The Company records inventory write-downs for excess or obsolete inventories based upon assumptions on current and future demand forecasts. If the inventory on hand is in excess of future demand forecast, the excess amounts are written off. The Company also reviews inventory to determine whether its carrying value exceeds the net amount realizable upon the ultimate sale of the inventory. This requires the determination of the estimated selling price of the vehicles less the estimated cost to convert inventory on hand into a finished product. Once inventory is written-down, a new, lower-cost basis for that inventory is established and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis.

(m)

Property, plant and equipment, net

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. Salvage value rate is determined to 0% to 5% based on the economic value of the property, plant and equipment at the end of the estimated useful lives as a percentage of the original cost.

		Estimated useful lives
Buildings		20 years
Machinery and equipment		3 to 25 years
Vehicles		4 to 5 years
Computer and electronic equipment		2 to 5 years
Mold and tooling		1 to 13 years

The cost of maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred, whereas the cost of renewals and betterment that extends the useful lives of property, plant and equipment is capitalized as additions to the related assets.

Construction in progress represents property, plant and equipment under construction and pending installation and is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Completed assets are transferred to their respective asset classes and depreciation begins when an asset is ready for its intended use. Interest expense on outstanding debt is capitalized during the period of significant capital asset construction. Capitalized interest expense on construction-in-progress is included within property, plant and equipment and is amortized over the life of the related assets.

F-38

The gain or loss on the disposal of property, plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the gain on the disposal of property was US$3,550 and nil, respectively.

(n)

Intangible assets, net

Intangible assets mainly consist of patents and software. Intangible assets with finite lives are carried at acquisition cost less accumulated amortization and impairment, if any. Finite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment if impairment indicators arise.

Amortization of intangible assets with finite lives are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as below:

		Estimated useful lives
Patent		5 to 10 years
Software		2 to 10 years

The estimated useful lives of intangible assets with finite lives are reassessed if circumstances occur that indicate the original estimated useful lives have changed.

Intangible assets that have indefinite useful life are automotive manufacturing permission and trademark as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company evaluates indefinite-lived intangible assets each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support indefinite useful lives. The value of indefinite-lived intangible assets is not amortized, but tested for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable.

(o)

Land use rights, net

Land use rights represent lease prepayments to the local government authorities. Upon the adoption of ASC 842, Leases, on January 1, 2022, land use rights, net were identified as operating lease right-of-use assets, which is separately disclosed as “Land use rights” in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(p)

Goodwill

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount recognized for non-controlling interests and any fair value of the Company’s previously held equity interests in the acquiree over the identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the sum of this consideration and other items is lower than the fair value of the net assets acquired, the difference is, after reassessment, recognized in profit or loss as a gain on bargain purchase.

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, Intangible – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. After adopting this guidance, the Company performs the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value is recognized as impairment. Application of a goodwill impairment test requires significant management judgment, including the identification of reporting units, allocation of assets, liabilities and goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit.

(q)

Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will affect the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable or that the useful life is shorter than the Company had originally estimated. When these events occur, the Company evaluates the impairment by comparing carrying value of the assets to an estimate of future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying value of the assets over the fair value of the assets. Fair value is determined using anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.

F-39

(r)

Warranties

The Company provides a manufacturer’s standard warranty on all vehicles sold. The Company accrues a warranty reserve for the vehicles sold by the Company, which includes the Company’s best estimate of the projected costs to repair or replace items under warranties and recalls when identified. These estimates are based on actual claims incurred to date and an estimate of the nature, frequency and costs of future claims. Changes to the Company’s historical or projected warranty experience may cause material changes to the warranty reserve in the future. The portion of the warranty reserve expected to be incurred within the next 12 months is included within accruals and other liabilities, while the remaining balance is included within other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Warranty expense is recorded as a component of cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operation.

The Company considers the standard warranty is not providing incremental service to customers rather an assurance to the quality of the vehicle, and therefore is not a separate performance obligation and should be accounted for in accordance with ASC 460, Guarantees.

Accrued warranty is included in other liabilities and the movement of accrued warranty is as following:

	June 30, 2022			December 31, 2021
	US$’000			US$’000

Accrued warranty - beginning of year		290			1,202
Warranty costs incurred		(119	)		(989	)
Provision for warranty		116			131
Translation adjustment		(12	)		(54	)
Accrued warranty - end of period / year		275			290

(s)

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when or as the control of the goods or services is transferred upon delivery to customers. Depending on the terms of the contract and the laws that apply to the contract, control of the goods and services may be transferred over time or at a point in time. Control of the goods and services is transferred over time if our performance:

	●	provides all of the benefits received and consumed simultaneously by the customer;
	●	creates and enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Company performs; or
	●	does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Company and the Company have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

If control of the goods and services transfers over time, revenue is recognized over the period of the contract by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation. Otherwise, revenue is recognized at a point in time when the customer obtains control of goods and services.

Contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, the Company allocates overall contract price to each distinct performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company generally determines standalone-selling prices for each individual distinct performance obligation identified based on the prices charged to customers. If the standalone selling price is not directly observable, it is estimated using expected cost plus a margin or adjusted market assessment approach, depending on the availability of observable information, the data utilized, and considering the pricing policies and practices in making pricing decisions. Assumptions and estimations have been made in estimating the relative selling price of each distinct performance obligation, and changes in judgments on these assumptions and estimates may affect the revenue recognition. The discount provided in the contract are allocated by the Company to all performance obligations as conditions under ASC 606-10-32-37 are not met.

For new Master Service Agreements (“MSA”) or for Purchase Orders (“PO”) from new customers, a credit check is required, which establishes collectability of the considerations to which the Company expects to be entitled. Management also has controls in place for the review of credit limits with existing customers. Other considerations in determining collectability include the customer’s payment history, prior or existing customer disputes, if any, and market conditions.

When either party to a contract has performed, the Company presents the contract in the consolidated balance sheet as a contract asset or a contract liability, depending on the relationship between the entity’s performance and the customer’s payment.

A receivable is recorded when the Company has an unconditional right to consideration. A right to consideration is unconditional if only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due.

F-40

If a customer pays consideration or the Company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional, before the Company transfers a good or service to the customer, the Company presents the contract liability when the payment is made or a receivable is recorded, whichever is earlier. A contract liability is the Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration, or an amount of consideration is due, from the customer. The Company’s contract liabilities are primarily resulted from the performance obligation identified in the vehicle sales contract, which is recorded as deferred revenue and revenue will be recognized when future goods or services are transferred. Besides, amounts received on behalf of third parties are recorded as other current liabilities.

Employee benefits

Full-time employees of the Company in the PRC participate in a government mandated defined contribution plan, pursuant to which certain pension benefits, work-related injury benefits, maternity insurance, medical care, employee housing fund and other welfare benefits are provided to the employees. Chinese labor regulations require that the PRC subsidiaries of the Company make contributions to the government for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ salaries, up to a maximum amount specified by the local government. The PRC government is responsible for the medical benefits and the pension liability to be paid to these employees and the Company’s obligations are limited to the amounts contributed and no legal obligation beyond the contributions made. Total amounts of such employee benefit expenses, which were expensed as incurred, were approximately US$3,414,607 and US$3,697,952 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

(z)

Income taxes

Current income taxes are recorded in accordance with the regulations of the relevant tax jurisdiction. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Tax. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax consequences attributable to differences between carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and their respective tax basis, and operating loss carryforwards. 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 taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period of change. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that amount of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Uncertain tax positions

An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, are recorded under accrued expenses and other current liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets and under other expenses in its consolidated statements of operations. The Company did not recognize any significant interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

(aa)

Warrants

The Company classifies as equity any contracts that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) gives the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares. The Company classifies as liabilities any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net-cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company) or (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares.

The Company accounts for its currently issued warrants in conjunction with the Company’s ordinary shares in permanent equity. These warrants are indexed to the Company’s stock and meet the requirements of equity classification as prescribed under ASC 815-40. Warrants classified as equity are initially measured at fair value, and subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized so long as the warrants continue to be classified as equity.

(bb)

Value-added tax

The Company is subject to statutory VAT of 13%, 6%, 9% for revenue from sales of vehicles and spare parts, and other services, respectively, in PRC.

(cc)

Comprehensive income (loss)

The Company applies ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, with respect to reporting and presentation of comprehensive loss and its components in a full set of financial statements. Comprehensive loss is defined to include all changes in equity of the Company during a period arising from transactions and other events and circumstances except those resulting from investments by shareholders and distributions to shareholders. For the periods presented, the Company’s comprehensive loss includes net loss and other comprehensive loss, which primarily consists of the foreign currency translation adjustments and actuarial loss arising from changes in financial assumptions on the Company’s defined contribution plan that has been excluded from the determination of net loss.

(dd)

Leases

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC 842, Leases, to require lessees to recognize all leases, with certain exceptions, on the balance sheets, while recognition on the statement of operations will remain similar to lease accounting under ASC 840. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements, ASU No. 2018-20, Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors, and ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements, to clarify and amend the guidance in ASU No. 2016-02. ASC 842 eliminates real estate-specific provisions and modifies certain aspects of lessor accounting.

Operating lease

The Company adopted the ASUs as of January 1, 2022 using modified retrospective transition approach. Upon adoption, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allowed the Company to carry forward the historical determination of contracts as leases, lease classification and not reassess initial direct costs for historical lease arrangements. In addition, the Company also elected the practical expedient to apply consistently to all of the Company’s leases to use hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing impairment of the Company’s right-of-use assets.

The Company includes a right-of-use asset and lease liability related to substantially all of the Company’s lease arrangements in the consolidated balance sheets. All of the Company’s leases are operating leases. Operating lease assets are included within right-of-use assets, and the corresponding lease liabilities are included within lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2022.

The Company has elected not to present short-term leases on the consolidated balance sheets as these leases have a lease term of 12 months or less at commencement date of the lease and do not include options to purchase or renew that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The Company recognizes lease expenses for such short-term lease generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. All other lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Because most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate of return, the Company uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at adoption date or lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

F-43

(ee)

Earnings (losses) per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to holders of ordinary shares by the weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Potentially dilutive shares, which are based on the weighted-average ordinary shares underlying outstanding stock-based awards, warrants, or options using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method, if applicable, are included when calculating diluted net earnings (loss) per share attributable to holders of ordinary shares when their effect is dilutive.

Since the Company has incurred losses for six months ended June 30, 2022, the potential shares issuable related to outstanding warrants have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share as the effect of such shares is anti-dilutive. Therefore, basic and diluted loss per share amounts is the same for each period presented.

(ff)

Segment reporting

The Company operates as one operating segment in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting. The Company has a common basis of organization, and the products and services are offered mutually. Considering the acquisition of FAW Jilin Automobile Co., Ltd (“FAW Jilin”) in 2019 and continued restructuring and streamlining of the growing organization, the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) continues to make decisions with regards to business operations and resource allocation based on evaluation of Chijet as a whole. Accordingly, the Company operates and makes decisions as one business segment. As the Company’s long-lived assets are substantially located in the PRC, no geographical segments are presented.

3.	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). The amendments in this update create Topic 842, Leases, and supersede the leases requirements in Topic 840, Leases. Topic 842 specifies the accounting for leases. The objective of Topic 842 is to establish the principles that lessees and lessors shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from a lease. The main difference between Topic 842 and Topic 840 is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities for those leases classified as operating leases under Topic 840. Topic 842 retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous leases guidance. The result of retaining a distinction between finance leases and operating leases is that under the lessee accounting model in Topic 842, the effect of leases in the statement of operations and the statement of cash flows is largely unchanged from previous GAAP. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period, for public business entities. In June 2020, the FASB postponed the effective date of the new lease standard, which will become effective after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, for entities other than public and Not-for-profit entities. The Company elected to adopt the new lease standard as of the effective date applicable to non-issuers and implemented the new lease standard on January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in recognition of right of use (“ROU”) assets of US$354,389 and right of use liabilities of US$1,828,536 upon the adoption date. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance with ASC 842, which among others, allows the Company to carry forward certain historical conclusions reached under Topic 840 regarding lease identification, classification, and the accounting treatment of initial direct costs. The Company is elected not to record assets and liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet for new or existing lease arrangements with terms of 12 months or less. The Company recognizes lease expenses for such leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In addition, the Company elected the land easement transition practical expedient and does not reassess whether an existing or expired land easement is a lease or contains a lease if it has not historically been accounted for as a lease.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)—Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in this update clarify the interaction of the accounting for equity securities under Topic 321 and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832). This ASU requires business entities to disclose information about government assistance they receive if the transactions were accounted for by analogy to either a grant or a contribution accounting model. The disclosure requirements include the nature of the transaction and the related accounting policy used, the line items on the balance sheets and statements of operations that are affected and the amounts applicable to each financial statement line item and the significant terms and conditions of the transactions. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The disclosure requirements can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all transactions in the scope of the amendments that are reflected in the financial statements at the date of initial application and new transactions that are entered into after the date of initial application. The Company adopted the ASU prospectively on January 1, 2022. There were no significant impact resulting from these disclosures on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures as presented in this interim set of accounts for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

F-44

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance within ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-11 and ASU 2020-02, collectively referred to as “ASC 326”. ASC 326 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. This ASU eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP and, instead, reflects an entity’s current estimate of all expected credit losses. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10 to postpone the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for certain to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is still evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (Topic 805). This ASU requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities (deferred revenue) from acquired contracts using the revenue recognition guidance in Topic 606. At the acquisition date, the acquirer applies the revenue model as if it had originated the acquired contracts. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of the ASU should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is also permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If early adopted, the amendments are applied retrospectively to all business combinations for which the acquisition date occurred during the fiscal year of adoption. This ASU is currently not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

4.	CONCENTRATION OF RISK

(a)

Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts and notes receivable, and accounts and notes payable. The maximum exposure of such financial instruments to credit risk is their carrying amounts as of the balance sheet dates. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were placed with the PRC. Management chooses these institutions because of their reputations and track records for stability, and their known large cash reserves, and management periodically reviews these institutions’ reputations, track records, and reported reserves. Management expects that any additional institutions that the Company uses for its cash and bank deposits would be chosen with similar criteria for soundness. Bank failure is uncommon in PRC and the Company believes that those Chinese banks that hold the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are financially sound based on publicly available information.

(b)

Customer risk

As of June 30, 2022, one customer held 59% of the total accounts and notes receivable.

As of December 31, 2021, one customer held 94% of the total accounts and notes receivable.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 one customer accounted for 11% and 43% of the total revenue, respectively. This customer was determined as related parties under ASC 850.

(c)

Foreign currency exchange rate risk

The revenues and expenses of the Company’s entities in the PRC are generally denominated in RMB and their assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB. The Company’s oversea financing activities are denominated in U.S. dollars. The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. Remittances of foreign currencies into the PRC or remittances of RMB out of the PRC as well as exchange between RMB and foreign currencies require approval by foreign exchange administrative authorities and certain supporting documentation. The State Administration for Foreign Exchange, under the authority of the People’s Bank of China, controls the conversion of RMB into other currencies.

Companies in these industries can now apply for monthly refunds of incremental VAT credits and a one-time refund of remaining VAT credits from April 1, 2022 onward. Given that Chijet falls within the scope of the eligible industry, the deductible value-added tax input is classified as current assets.

LONG-TERM PAYABLE

In May 2016, the Company entered two loans with unrelated non-financial institutions. The purpose of the borrowing was solely for the development of the Electric Vehicle industry in Xiangyang, PRC, and cannot be used for any other purposes. The loans bear no interest, and the maturity date was determined depending on the development status. Due to the nature of the loans, the Company was subject to the fulfillment of covenants relating to the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position performance and results, which are commonly found in lending arrangements in the industry. The Company regularly monitors its compliance with these covenants. The carrying value of the borrowings approximates its fair value as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the outstanding principal were US$103,728,629 (RMB 694,598,000) and US$109,287,411 (RMB 694,598,000), respectively. The difference in the principal was primarily due to the change in the currency exchange rate.

The covenants associated with the loans were that the loan proceeds need to be repaid if the project does not meet the conditions for applying for government subsidies as stipulated in the contract within five consecutive years after the year of the project began. The Company started the project in 2017, and a five-year period would end in 2022 (from 2018 to 2022). Due to the production interruption in 2019, the Company’s eligibility for the government subsidy is remote. As a result, the loan was reclassified as current portion as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

ACCRUED POST-EMPLOYMENT AND TERMINATION BENEFITS

The Company paid post-employment obligations to its retired employees. In addition, the Company was committed to make periodic benefits payments to certain former employees, who were terminated or early retired. These benefits were only applicable to the qualifying employees.

The Company’s net obligation in respect to defined benefit retirement plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine the present value and the fair value of any plan assets is deducted. The actuarial valuation of the present value of the defined benefit obligations as of June 30, 2022, June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2021 were prepared by an independent firm of actuaries, Willis Towers Watson, a member of China Association of Actuaries.

In accordance with ASC 715-30, Benefit Plans–Pension, the following components have been included in the net obligation recognized for a period by the Company: (i) service cost; (ii) interest cost; (iii) expected return on plan assets, if any; (iv) amortization of any prior service cost or credit included in accumulated other comprehensive income; and (v) gain or loss (including the effects of changes in financial assumptions), which includes, to the extent recognized, amortization of the net gain or loss included in accumulated other comprehensive income. The present value of the defined benefit obligations, and the related service costs were measured using the projected unit credit method.

The principal assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations are as follows:

	June 30, 2022			June 30, 2021			December 31, 2021

Discount rate		2.50%-3.25%			2.75%-3.75%			2.50%-3.25%

On February 15, 2022, pursuant to the financial advisory agreement, the Company issued 5,000,000 warrants, having an exercise price of $2.00. In accordance with ASC 815-40, the warrants are classified as equity and the relative fair value of approximately US$21,700,000 was recognized gradually over the service term from February 15, 2022 to December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, US$9,691,223 was recognized as additional paid in capital.

Statutory Reserves and Restricted Net Asset

The Company’s PRC subsidiary is restricted in its ability to transfer a portion of its net assets to the Company. The payment of dividends by entities organized in PRC is subject to limitations, procedures and formalities. Regulations in the PRC currently permit payment of dividends only out of accumulated profits as determined in accordance with accounting standards and regulations in PRC.

The Company is required to make appropriations to certain reserve funds, comprising the statutory surplus reserve and the discretionary surplus reserve, based on after-tax net income determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the PRC (“PRC GAAP”). Appropriations to the statutory surplus reserve are required to be at least 10% of the after-tax net income determined in accordance with PRC GAAP until the reserve is equal to 50% of the entity’s registered capital. Appropriations to the discretionary surplus reserve are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The statutory reserve may be applied against prior year losses, if any, and may be used for general business expansion and production or increase in registered capital but are not distributable as cash dividends.

Because the Company’s entities in the PRC can only be paid out of distributable profits reported in accordance with PRC accounting standards, the Company’s entities in the PRC are restricted from transferring a portion of their net assets to the Company. The restricted amounts include the paid-in capital and additional paid-in capital of the Company’s entities in the PRC. The aggregate amount of paid-in capital and additional paid-in capital, which is the amount of net assets of the Company’s entities in the PRC (mainland) not available for distribution, were US$150,517,942 and US$140,826,719, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

(a)	Capital commitments

(b)	Parts purchase commitment

Prior to year ended December 31, 2019, the Company entered into various agreements with various suppliers for production and development. The balance of contractual commitment was approximately $23.6 million (RMB 159.0 million) and $24.9 million (RMB 159.0 million) as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company expects to meet the commitment. However, the fulfillment of commitment cannot be guaranteed. If the Company cannot fulfill the commitment before the due date, there should be a loss to be recognized. However, the loss amount, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated as of December 16, 2022.

(c)	Service commitment

On February 15, 2022, the Company entered into a service agreement for financial advisory services in assisting the Company listing on the U.S. Exchange Market via merging with a SPAC traded in NASDAQ for a total of US$600,000. Pursuant to the agreement, an initial payment of US$100,000 shall be made within five days from February 15, 2022. The second payment of $100,000 shall be made before February 28, 2022. Unless the failure of Listing is due to the service provider’s fault, the Company is liable for the full amount of the service fees regardless of the result. As of June 30, 2022, US$200,000 has been paid, and the remaining balance of US$400,000 is due within one year.

Contingencies

(a)	Legal proceedings

FAW Jilin was subject to ongoing legal proceedings arising from disputes of contracts entered into prior to the Company’s acquisition of FAW Jilin in December 2019. These legal proceedings include the CO23 and other models in FAW Jilin’s EOP project. Additionally, there were a lot of labor disputes arising from the corporate reorganization in 2003, including but not limited to loss of files, labor relationships, default in social insurance, and other labor disputes. In recent years, there has been a risk of not being able to complete the agreed-upon payments for the auto molding that have not been produced for a long time. As a result, there may be a substantial risk of litigation. Furthermore, there is a risk that the Company cannot fulfill the settlement agreements arising from the corporate reorganization that entered in 2021 and 2020. As of the date of this report, most of these legal proceedings were settled. The settlement amounts were accrued and included in Accrued and Other Current Liabilities.

In 2017, FAW Jilin’s three independent dealers in Beijing have been fined a total of US$5,349,528 (RMB 34,000,000) by Beijing’s Chaoyang District Market Supervision Administration for selling vehicles that failed to meet emission standards. As the third party, FAW Jilin has not been judged to be liable for joint and several compensations, but as the manufacturer, FAW Jilin may faces the risk of being claimed by the dealer. As of the reporting date, and the possibility and amount of contingency cannot be estimated given the current status.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Chijet Inc. and Subsidiaries

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Chijet Inc., and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and had significant accumulated deficit and negative cash flows from operations. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2021.

Impact of COVID-19

There have been concerns over the downturn in economic output caused by the COVID-19 outbreak. It is unclear whether these challenges will be contained and what effects they each may have. Economic conditions in China are sensitive to global economic conditions. Recently there have been signs that the rate of China’s economic growth is declining, and China’s economy contracted in the years of 2021 and 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. Any prolonged slowdown in China’s economic development might lead to tighter credit markets, increased market volatility, sudden drops in business and consumer confidence and dramatic changes in business and consumer behaviors.

Intangible assets, net

Amortization of intangible assets with finite lives are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as below:

		Estimated useful lives
Patent		5 to 10 years
Software		2 to 10 years

The estimated useful lives of intangible assets with finite lives are reassessed if circumstances occur that indicate the original estimated useful lives have changed.

Intangible assets that have indefinite useful life are automotive manufacturing permission and trademark as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company evaluates indefinite-lived intangible assets each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support indefinite useful lives. The value of indefinite-lived intangible assets is not amortized, but tested for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable.

Land use rights, net

Land use rights are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives which are 40 to 50 years that represent the terms of land use rights certificate.

(n)

Goodwill

The Company adopted ASU 2017-04, Intangible – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. After adopting this guidance, the Company performs the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value is recognized as impairment. Application of a goodwill impairment test requires significant management judgment, including the identification of reporting units, allocation of assets, liabilities and goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit.

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, to simplify the test for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2. An entity will, therefore, perform the goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with it carrying amount and recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. An entity still has the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the ASU is prospective. The Company adopted the ASU on January 1, 2020, which did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods therein. Early adoption of the standard is permitted, including adoption in interim or annual periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company adopted the ASU prospectively on January 1, 2021, which did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The amendments in this update provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The Company adopted the ASU prospectively on January 1, 2021, which did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). The amendments in this update create Topic 842, Leases, and supersede the leases requirements in Topic 840, Leases. Topic 842 specifies the accounting for leases. The objective of Topic 842 is to establish the principles that lessees and lessors shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from a lease. The main difference between Topic 842 and Topic 840 is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities for those leases classified as operating leases under Topic 840. Topic 842 retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous leases guidance. The result of retaining a distinction between finance leases and operating leases is that under the lessee accounting model in Topic 842, the effect of leases in the statement of operations and the statement of cash flows is largely unchanged from previous GAAP. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period, for public business entities. In June 2020, the FASB postponed the effective date of the new lease standard, which will become effective after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, for entities other than public and Not-for-profit entities. The Company has elected to adopt the new lease standard as of the effective date applicable to non-issuers and will implement the new lease standard on January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective method. The Company expected to elect the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance with ASC 842, which among others, allows the Company to carry forward certain historical conclusions reached under Topic 840 regarding lease identification, classification, and the accounting treatment of initial direct costs. The Company expected to elect not to record assets and liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet for new or existing lease arrangements with terms of 12 months or less. The Company recognizes lease expenses for such leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In addition, the Company is expected to elect the land easement transition practical expedient and does not reassess whether an existing or expired land easement is a lease or contains a lease if it has not historically been accounted for as a lease. The Company expected the adoption would result in recognition of right of use (“ROU”) assets of US$354,389 and right of use liabilities of US$1,828,536 upon the adoption date.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance within ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-11 and ASU 2020-02, collectively referred to as “ASC 326”. ASC 326 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. This ASU eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP and, instead, reflects an entity’s current estimate of all expected credit losses. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10 to postpone the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for certain to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company still evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

F-74

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)—Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in this update clarify the interaction of the accounting for equity securities under Topic 321 and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The ASU is currently not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832). This ASU requires business entities to disclose information about government assistance they receive if the transactions were accounted for by analogy to either a grant or a contribution accounting model. The disclosure requirements include the nature of the transaction and the related accounting policy used, the line items on the balance sheets and statements of operations that are affected and the amounts applicable to each financial statement line item and the significant terms and conditions of the transactions. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The disclosure requirements can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all transactions in the scope of the amendments that are reflected in the financial statements at the date of initial application and new transactions that are entered into after the date of initial application. The ASU is currently not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

4. CONCENTRATION OF RISK

(a)

Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts and notes receivable, and accounts and notes payable. The maximum exposure of such financial instruments to credit risk is their carrying amounts as of the balance sheet dates. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were placed with the PRC. Management chooses these institutions because of their reputations and track records for stability, and their known large cash reserves, and management periodically reviews these institutions’ reputations, track records, and reported reserves. Management expects that any additional institutions that the Company uses for its cash and bank deposits would be chosen with similar criteria for soundness. Bank failure is uncommon in PRC and the Company believes that those Chinese banks that hold the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are financially sound based on publicly available information.

(b)

Customer risk

As of December 31, 2021, one customer held 94% of the total accounts and notes receivable.

As of December 31, 2020, two customers held 86% and 11% of the total accounts and notes receivable, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, two customers held 35% and 28% of the total revenue, respectively. Both customers were determined as related parties under ASC 850.

(c)

Foreign currency exchange rate risk

The revenues and expenses of the Company’s entities in the PRC are generally denominated in RMB and their assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB. The Company’s oversea financing activities are denominated in U.S. dollars. The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. Remittances of foreign currencies into the PRC or remittances of RMB out of the PRC as well as exchange between RMB and foreign currencies require approval by foreign exchange administrative authorities and certain supporting documentation. The State Administration for Foreign Exchange, under the authority of the People’s Bank of China, controls the conversion of RMB into other currencies.

5. ACCOUNTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE, NET

Accounts and notes receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts consisted of the following:

	December 31,					January 1,
	2021			2020		2020
	US$’000			US$’000		US$’000

Notes receivable represents bank acceptance drafts that are non-interest bearing and due within six to twelve months.

The Company routinely evaluates the need for allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that the management believes to be uncollectible. If the actual collection experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required. The Company recognized an allowance of US$94,038 including the amount from related party of US$67,970 for the year ended December 31, 2021 and US$430,413 which was all from related party for the year ended December 31, 2020.

11. GOODWILL

On December 27, 2019 (the “Acquisition Date”), Baoya completed an acquisition of FAW Jilin. Pursuant to the related Agreement and Plan of Merger, the purchase price was US$214,414,363 (RMB 1,500,000,000).

Baoya accounted for the acquisition using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations under ASC 805, Business Combinations. The total purchase price was allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities based on their estimated fair value as of the Acquisition Date.

F-78

Fair value measurement was prepared by the reputable independent appraiser. The estimates are based on complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. The judgments used to determine the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives and the expected future cash flows and related discount rates, can materially impact the consolidated financial statements. Significant inputs used for the model included the amount of cash flows, the expected period of the cash flows and the discount rates.

The allocation of the purchase price was based on the fair values as of the Acquisition Date of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as follows:

	US$’000			RMB’000
Assets acquired:
Cash and cash equivalents		235,165			1,645,169

Goodwill		2,735			19,133
Total purchase price		214,415			1,500,000

Goodwill of US$2,734,935 (RMB 19,133,060) was represented the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired as of the Acquisition Date and was primarily attributable to the expected synergies from integrating FAW Jilin’s technology into the automotive segment as well as the acquired workforce. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the goodwill was US$3,010,378 and US$2,928,813, respectively. The change was due to foreign currency translation adjustments during the year ended December 31, 2021. There were no accumulated impairment losses as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

16. LONG-TERM PAYABLE

In May 2016, the Company entered two loans with unrelated non-financial institutions. The purpose of the borrowing was solely for the development of the Electric Vehicle industry in Xiangyang, PRC, and cannot be used for any other purposes. The loans bear no interest, and the maturity date was determined depending on the development status. Due to the nature of the loans, the Company was subject to the fulfillment of covenants relating to the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position performance and results, which are commonly found in lending arrangements in the industry. The Company regularly monitors its compliance with these covenants. The carrying value of the borrowings approximates its fair value as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the outstanding principal were US$109,287,411 (RMB 694,598,000) and US$106,326,328 (RMB 694,598,000), respectively. The difference in the principal was primarily due to the change in the currency exchange rate.

The covenants associated with the loans were that the loan proceeds need to be repaid if the project does not meet the conditions for applying for government subsidies as stipulated in the contract within five consecutive years after the year of the project began. The Company started the project in July 2017, and a five-year period would end in 2022 (from 2018 to 2022). Due to the production interruption in 2019, the Company’s eligibility for the government subsidy is remote. As a result, the loans was reclassified as current portion as of December 31, 2021 and the amount is due by July 2022.

17. ACCRUED POST-EMPLOYMENT AND TERMINATION BENEFITS

The Company has three defined benefits, non-contributory retirement or termination plans that cover qualifying employees. These defined benefit plans provide benefits to covered individuals satisfying certain age and/or service requirements. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company made cash payments of US$11,848,936 (RMB 76,460,000) and US$11,286,257 (RMB 77,900,000), respectively, to settle part of the defined benefit plans, details of the movements of the defined benefit plans during the year are presented below.

The Company’s net obligation in respect to defined benefit retirement plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine the present value and the fair value of any plan assets is deducted.

The aggregate amount of paid-in capital and additional paid-in capital, which is the amount of net assets of the Company’s entities in the PRC (mainland) not available for distribution, were US$140,826,719 and US$140,826,719, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

(c)	Parts purchase commitment

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company entered several trial production and development agreements for tooling fee for a total of approximate US$1.5 million (RMB 9.7 million). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company shall order a certain quantity in a certain period from the supplier. In addition, the Company shall pay an initial deposit upon receipt of the VAT invoice from the supplier. The remaining balance will be amortized based on certain units at the price of parts and components for certain period after agreed-upon date. At the end of the period, when the tooling fee has not been fully amortized, the supplier will issue the VAT invoice to the Company for the residual balance.

The Company expects to meet the commitment. However, the fulfillment of commitment cannot be guaranteed. If the Company cannot fulfill the commitment before the due date, there should be a loss to be recognized. However, the loss amount, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated as of December 16, 2022.

Contingencies

(a)	Legal proceedings

FAW Jilin was subject to ongoing legal proceedings arising from disputes of contracts entered into prior to the Company’s acquisition of FAW Jilin in December 2019. These legal proceedings include the CO23 and other models in FAW Jilin’s EOP project. Additionally, there were a lot of labor disputes arising from the corporate reorganization in 2003, including but not limited to loss of files, labor relationships, default in social insurance, and other labor disputes. In recent years, there has been a risk of not being able to complete the agreed-upon payments for the auto molding that have not been produced for a long time. As a result, there may be a substantial risk of litigation. Furthermore, there is a risk that the Company cannot fulfill the settlement agreements arising from the corporate reorganization that entered in 2021 and 2020. As of the date of this report, most of these legal proceedings were settled. The settlement amounts were accrued and included in Accrued and Other Current Liabilities.

Other than the unpaid contract amount that the Company assumed from FAW Jilin Acquisition and included as the Retained Assets and Liabilities, the Company did not record any accrual for expected loss payments with respect to these cases as of December 31, 2021. In addition to the indemnification of the Retained Assets and Liabilities the Company obtained from China FAW Group Corporation (“FAW Group”), FAW Group also agreed in the FAW Jilin Acquisition Agreement that, it will indemnify damages and loss arising from the following case:

In 2017, FAW Jilin’s three independent dealers in Beijing have been fined a total of US$5,349,528 (RMB 34,000,000) by Beijing’s Chaoyang District Market Supervision Administration for selling vehicles that failed to meet emission standards. As the third party, FAW Jilin has not been judged to be liable for joint and several compensations, but as the manufacturer, FAW Jilin may faces the risk of being claimed by the dealer. As of the reporting date, and the possibility and amount of contingency cannot be estimated given the current status.

22. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

In June 2022, Chijet issued 53,879,310 shares of common stock in exchange for 17.245% stake in Shandong Baoya New Energy Co., Ltd. from two shareholders. In addition, Chijet acquired 67.927% stake in Shandong Baoya New Energy Co., Ltd. from seven individuals and institutional shareholders through Baoya New Energy (Shandong) Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chijet in a total consideration of 7 Renminbi. For financial reporting purposes, the acquisition of Shandong Baoya New Energy Co., Ltd. represented a transaction between entities under common control, resulted in a change in reporting entity and required retrospective combination of entities for all periods presented, as if the combination had been in effect since the inception of common control. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements of Chijet Inc. and subsidiaries reflect the accounting of the combined acquired subsidiaries at historical carrying values, except that equity reflects the equity of Chijet Inc. Such acquisition shall be deemed as business reorganization.

Pursuant to the requirements of Rule 12-04(a), 5-04(c) and 4-08(e)(3) of Regulation S-X, the condensed financial information of the parent company shall be filed when the restricted net assets of consolidated subsidiaries exceed 25 percent of consolidated net assets as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year. The Company performed a test on the restricted net assets of consolidated subsidiaries in accordance with such requirement and concluded that it was applicable to the Company as the restricted net assets of the Company’s PRC subsidiary exceeded 25% of the consolidated net assets of the Company, therefore, the condensed financial statements for the parent company are included herein.

For purposes of the above test, restricted net assets of consolidated subsidiaries shall mean that amount of the Company’s proportionate share of net assets of consolidated subsidiaries (after intercompany eliminations) which as of the end of the most recent fiscal year may not be transferred to the parent company by subsidiaries in the form of loans, advances or cash dividends without the consent of a third party.

The condensed financial information of the parent company has been prepared using the same accounting policies as set out in the Company’s consolidated financial statements except that the parent company used the equity method to account for investment in its subsidiaries. For the parent company, the Company records its investments in subsidiaries under the equity method of accounting as prescribed in ASC 323, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures. Such investment is presented on the condensed balance sheets as “Investment in subsidiaries” and the respective profit or loss as “Equity in earnings of subsidiaries” on the condensed statements of operations.

The Company did not pay any dividend for the periods presented. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no material contingencies, significant provisions for long-term obligations, or guarantees of the Company, except for those which have been separately disclosed in the consolidated financial statements, if any.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the parent company’s share of losses of an investee exceed the carrying amount of an investment accounted for by the equity method. As a result, the parent company discontinued applying the equity method in accordance with ASC 323-10-35-20.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Merger Effective Time shall in all events be after the time at which the Share Exchange has been consummated in accordance with Article II.

1.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Merger Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the applicable provisions of the DGCL.

Promptly after the Effective Date, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith (i) a mutually acceptable amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation and (ii) a mutually acceptable amended and restated Bylaws of JWAC, both in customary forms suitable for a wholly owned subsidiary of a company publicly listed in the United States.

(a) JWAC Units. At the Merger Effective Time, every issued and outstanding JWAC Unit shall be automatically detached, and the holder thereof shall be deemed to hold one (1) share of JWAC Class A Common Stock and one (1) JWAC Right in accordance with the terms of the applicable JWAC Unit, which underlying JWAC Securities shall be converted in accordance with the applicable terms of this Section 1.6 below.

(b) JWAC Class A Common Stock. At the Merger Effective Time, every issued and outstanding share of JWAC Class A Common Stock (other than those described in Section 1.6(g) below) that is not redeemed or converted in the Redemption (including any PIPE Shares) shall become and be converted automatically into the right to receive one (1) Pubco Ordinary Share and one (1) CVR (with the holders of JWAC Private Units, JWAC Working Capital Units and/or JWAC Private Shares waiving their right to receive CVRs for their JWAC Private Shares (or shares of JWAC Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of JWAC Class B Common Stock) pursuant to the Support Agreement, and for the avoidance of doubt, with the holders of JWAC Rights not receiving any CVRs for their JWAC Rights), following which, all shares of JWAC Class A Common Stock shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist. The holders of certificates previously evidencing shares of JWAC Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares, except as provided herein or by Law. Each certificate previously evidencing shares of JWAC Class A Common Stock shall be exchanged for a certificate (if requested) representing the same number of Pubco Ordinary Shares and CVRs (subject to the waivers under the Support Agreement) upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 1.7. Each certificate formerly representing shares of JWAC Class A Common Stock (other those described in Section 1.6(g) below) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the same number of Pubco Ordinary Shares and CVRs (subject to the waivers under the Support Agreement).

The holders of certificates previously evidencing shares of JWAC Class B Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares, except as provided herein or by Law. Each certificate previously evidencing shares of JWAC Class B Common Stock shall be exchanged for a certificate (if requested) representing the same number of Pubco Ordinary Shares upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 1.7. Each certificate formerly representing shares of JWAC Class B Common Stock (other those described in Section 1.6(g) below) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the same number of Pubco Ordinary Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, shares of JWAC Class B Common Stock will not receive any CVRs in the Merger, even if they are converted into shares of JWAC Class A Common Stock at or prior to the Closing.

(d) JWAC Preferred Stock. At the Merger Effective Time, every issued and outstanding share of JWAC Preferred Stock (other than those described in Section 1.6(g) below), if any, shall become and be converted automatically into one Pubco Preferred Share, following which, all shares of JWAC Preferred Stock shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist. The holders of certificates previously evidencing shares of JWAC Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares, except as provided herein or by Law.

At or prior to the Merger Effective Time, Pubco shall take all corporate actions necessary to reserve for future issuance, and shall maintain such reservation for so long as any of the Pubco Warrants remain outstanding, a sufficient number of Pubco Ordinary Shares for delivery upon the exercise of such Pubco Warrants.

(f) JWAC Rights. At the Merger Effective Time, each issued and outstanding JWAC Right shall be automatically converted into the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares that would have been received by the holder thereof if such JWAC Right had been converted upon the consummation of a Business Combination in accordance with JWAC’s Organizational Documents, the IPO Prospectus and the Rights Agreement into shares of JWAC Class A Common Stock, but for such purposes treating it as if such Business Combination had occurred at the Merger Effective Time and the shares of JWAC Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of the JWAC Rights had then automatically been converted into Pubco Ordinary Shares in accordance with Section 1.6(b) above, except that, for the avoidance of doubt, holders of JWAC Rights shall not be entitled to receive any CVRs with respect to the JWAC Rights. At the Merger Effective Time, the JWAC Rights shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist. The holders of certificates previously evidencing JWAC Rights outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such JWAC Rights, except as provided herein or by Law.

If any certificate for securities of JWAC is to be issued in a name other than that in which the certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition of the issuance thereof that the certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange will have paid to JWAC or any agent designated by it any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate for securities of JWAC in any name other than that of the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of JWAC or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(i) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.6, none of the Surviving Corporation, Pubco or any other Party hereto shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

1.7 Effect of Merger on Merger Sub and Pubco Capital Shares. At the Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or any equityholder of JWAC, Pubco or Merger Sub, (a) all of the shares of Merger Sub Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall be converted into an equal number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation; and (b) all of the shares of Pubco issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or payment therefor.

1.8 Surrender of JWAC Certificates. All securities issued upon the surrender of JWAC Securities in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such securities, provided that any restrictions on the sale and transfer of JWAC Securities shall also apply to the Pubco Securities so issued in exchange.

1.9 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed JWAC Certificates. In the event any certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Pubco shall issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, as the case may be, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such securities, as may be required pursuant to Section 1.6; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Surviving Corporation with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

1.10 Tax Consequences. The Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, the Merger and the Share Exchange, taken together, are intended to qualify as an exchange described in Section 351 of the Code. The Parties hereby agree to file all Tax and other informational returns on a basis consistent with such characterization unless otherwise required pursuant to a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. Each of the Parties acknowledge and agree that each (i) has had the opportunity to obtain independent legal and Tax advice with respect to the Transactions, and (ii) is responsible for paying its own Taxes, including any adverse Tax consequences that may result if the Merger and the Share Exchange, taken together, does not qualify under Section 351 of the Code.

(i) Pubco’s Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”) shall monitor the closing price of the Pubco Ordinary Shares on the Trading Market on each Trading Day during the Price Earnout Period, and as promptly as practicable (but in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after the end of (A) each calendar month during the Price Earnout Period and (B) each Price Measurement Period, the CFO will prepare and send to the Seller Representative and Pubco’s Board of Directors (each, a “Reviewing Party”), with a copy to the Escrow Agent and the CVR Rights Agent, a written statement (each, a “Price Earnout Statement”) that sets forth (i) the closing price of the Pubco Ordinary Shares on the Trading Market on each Trading Day during the prior sixty (60) Trading Days (or if lesser, such number of Trading Days since the Closing) as of such calendar month or Price Measurement Period then ended and (ii) whether a Price Earnout Milestone has been achieved during such sixty (60) Trading Day period. Each Reviewing Party will have twenty (20) days after its receipt of a Price Earnout Statement to review it, and each Reviewing Party and its Representatives on its behalf may make inquiries to the CFO and related personnel and advisors of Pubco and its Subsidiaries regarding questions concerning or disagreements with the Price Earnout Statement arising in the course of their review thereof, and Pubco and its Subsidiaries shall provide reasonable cooperation in connection therewith. If either Reviewing Party has any objections to a Price Earnout Statement, then it shall deliver to the CFO and the other Reviewing Party, along with a copy to the Escrow Agent and the CVR Rights Agent, a statement setting forth its objections thereto (in reasonable detail). If such written statement is not delivered by a Reviewing Party within twenty (20) days following the date of delivery of such Price Earnout Statement, then such Reviewing Party will have waived its right to contest such Price Earnout Statement and the calculation of the closing price of the Pubco Ordinary Shares on the Trading Market on each Trading Day during the applicable portion of the Price Earnout Period (and whether a Price Earnout Milestone has been achieved) as set forth therein. If such written statement is delivered by a Reviewing Party within such twenty (20) day period, then the Reviewing Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such objections for a period of ten (10) Business Day thereafter. If the Reviewing Parties do not reach a final resolution within such ten (10) Business Day period, then upon the written request of either Reviewing Party the Reviewing Parties will refer the dispute to the Independent Expert for final resolution of the dispute in accordance with Section 2.3(e)(iii) below.

(ii) As soon as practicable (but in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after each Filing Date, the CFO will prepare and deliver to the Reviewing Parties, with a copy to the Escrow Agent and the CVR Rights Agent, a written statement (each, a “Revenue Earnout Statement” and any of a Price Earnout Statement or a Revenue Earnout Statement, an “Earnout Statement”) that sets forth the CFO’s determination in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.3 of the Gross Revenue for the Earnout Year then ended, the applicable RMB Exchange Rate Adjustment and whether the applicable Revenue Earnout Milestone has been satisfied for such Earnout Year. Each Reviewing Party will have twenty (20) days after its receipt of a Revenue Earnout Statement to review it, and each Reviewing Party and its Representatives on its behalf may make inquiries to the CFO and related personnel and advisors of Pubco and its Subsidiaries regarding questions concerning or disagreements with the Revenue Earnout Statement arising in the course of their review thereof, and Pubco and its Subsidiaries shall provide reasonable cooperation in connection therewith. If either Reviewing Party has any objections to a Revenue Earnout Statement, such Reviewing Party shall deliver to the CFO and the other Reviewing Party, along with a copy to the Escrow Agent and the CVR Rights Agent, a statement setting forth its objections thereto (in reasonable detail). If such written statement is not delivered by a Reviewing Party within twenty (20) days following the date of delivery of such Revenue Earnout Statement, then such Reviewing Party will have waived its right to contest such Revenue Earnout Statement and the determination of the Gross Revenue and RMB Exchange Rate Adjustment for such Earnout Year (and whether the Revenue Earnout Milestone has been satisfied for such Earnout Year) as set forth therein. If such written statement is delivered by a Reviewing Party within such twenty (20) day period, then the Reviewing Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such objections for a period of ten (10) Business Day thereafter. If the Reviewing Parties do not reach a final resolution within such ten (10) Business Day period, then, upon the written request of either Reviewing Party, the Reviewing Parties will refer the dispute to the Independent Expert for final resolution of the dispute in accordance with Section 2.3(e)(iii) below.

(iii) If a dispute with respect an Earnout Statement is submitted in accordance with this Section 2.3(e) to the Independent Expert for final resolution, the Parties will follow the procedures set forth in this Section 2.3(e)(iii). Each Reviewing Party agrees to execute, if requested by the Independent Expert, a reasonable engagement letter with respect to the determination to be made by the Independent Expert. All fees and expenses of the Independent Expert, and all other out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by a Reviewing Party in connection with resolving any dispute hereunder before the Independent Expert, will be borne by Pubco. The Independent Expert will determine only those issues still in dispute as of the Independent Expert Notice Date and the Independent Expert’s determination will be based solely upon and consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each Reviewing Party will use their commercially reasonable efforts to make their respective presentations as promptly as practicable following submission to the Independent Expert of the disputed items, and each such Reviewing Party will be entitled, as part of its presentation, to respond to the presentation of the other Reviewing Party and any questions and requests of the Independent Expert. In deciding any matter, the Independent Expert will be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, including this Section 2.3(e)(iii). It is the intent of the parties hereto that the activities of the Independent Expert in connection herewith are not (and should not be considered to be or treated as) an arbitration proceeding or similar arbitral process and that no formal arbitration rules should be followed (including rules with respect to procedures and discovery). Each Reviewing Party will request that the Independent Expert’s determination be made within thirty (30) days after its engagement, or as soon thereafter as possible, will be set forth in a written statement delivered to the Reviewing Parties and will be final, conclusive, non-appealable and binding for all purposes hereunder (other than for fraud or manifest error).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pubco shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, including the Target Companies, to not, take or omit to take any action that is in bad faith and has the primary purpose of avoiding, reducing or preventing the achievement or attainment of the Earnout Milestones.

(c) Such Seller understands that the Exchange Shares, until such time as the Exchange Shares have been registered under the Securities Act, or may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Exchange Shares may bear a standard Rule 144 legend and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such Exchange Shares.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, and shall cooperate fully with the other Parties, to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws and regulations to consummate the Transactions (including the receipt of all applicable Consents of Governmental Authorities) and to comply as promptly as practicable with all requirements of Governmental Authorities applicable to the Transactions.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of Section 8.9(a), to the extent required under any Laws that are designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade (“Antitrust Laws”), each Party hereto agrees to make any required filing or application under Antitrust Laws, as applicable, at such Party’s sole cost and expense, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable, to supply as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be reasonably requested pursuant to Antitrust Laws and to take all other actions reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under Antitrust Laws as soon as practicable, including by requesting early termination of the waiting period provided for under the Antitrust Laws.

(c) JWAC and Pubco shall take any and all reasonable and necessary actions required to satisfy the requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other applicable Laws in connection with the Registration Statement, the Special Stockholder Meeting and the Redemption. Each of JWAC, Pubco and the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, make their respective directors, officers and employees, upon reasonable advance notice, available to the Company Parties and their respective Representatives in connection with the drafting of the public filings with respect to the Transactions, including the Registration Statement, and responding in a timely manner to comments from the SEC.

8.12 Change of Recommendation.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, at any time prior to obtaining the Required Stockholder Approval, the JWAC Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor, that in response to a Intervening Event, making a JWAC Change of Recommendation is necessary for the JWAC Board to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the JWAC Board may, prior to obtaining the Required Stockholder Approval, make a JWAC Change of Recommendation; provided, however, that JWAC shall not be entitled to make, or agree or resolve to make, a JWAC Change of Recommendation unless (i) JWAC delivers to Pubco a written notice (an “Intervening Event Notice”) advising Pubco that the JWAC Board proposes to take such action and containing the material facts underlying the JWAC Board’s determination that an Intervening Event has occurred and that to make a JWAC Change of Recommendation is necessary for the JWAC Board to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (ii) at or after 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the fourth (4th) Business Day immediately following the day on which JWAC delivered the Intervening Event Notice (such period from the time the Intervening Event Notice is provided until 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the fourth (4th) Business Day immediately following the day on which JWAC delivered the Intervening Event Notice (it being understood that any material development with respect to a Intervening Event shall require a new notice but with an additional three (3) Business Day (instead of four (4) Business Day) period from the date of such notice), the “Intervening Event Notice Period”), the JWAC Board reaffirms in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor) that making a JWAC Change of Recommendation is necessary for the JWAC Board to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. If requested by the Company, JWAC shall, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Representatives to, during the Intervening Event Notice Period, engage in good faith negotiations with the Company Parties and their Representatives to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that a JWAC Change of Recommendation is not necessary for JWAC Board to comply with the JWAC Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(b) JWAC agrees that, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the terms herein, its obligation to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Special Stockholder Meeting for the purpose of obtaining the Required Stockholder Approval shall not be affected by any JWAC Change of Recommendation, and JWAC agrees to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Special Stockholder Meeting and submit for the approval of its stockholders the matters contemplated by the Proxy Statement (including the Stockholder Approval Matters) as required herein, regardless of whether or not there shall be any JWAC Change of Recommendation.

WAIVERS AND Releases

12.1 Waiver of Claims Against Trust. Reference is made to the IPO Prospectus. Each of the Company Entities and each Seller and the Seller Representative understands that JWAC has established the Trust Account containing the proceeds of the IPO and the overallotment shares acquired by JWAC’s underwriters and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of JWAC’s public stockholders (including overallotment shares acquired by JWAC’s underwriters) (the “Public Stockholders”) and that, except as otherwise described in the IPO Prospectus, JWAC may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Stockholders in the event they elect to redeem their shares of JWAC Common Stock (or Pubco Ordinary Shares upon the Merger) in connection with the consummation of its initial business combination (as such term is used in the IPO Prospectus) (“Business Combination”) or in connection with an amendment to JWAC’s Organizational documents to extend JWAC’s deadline to consummate a Business Combination, (b) to the Public Stockholders if JWAC fails to consummate a Business Combination within twelve (12) months after the closing of the IPO (provided such date may be extended by up to an additional six (6) months), subject to further extension by amendment to JWAC’s Organizational Documents, (c) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, amounts necessary to pay for any taxes and up to $50,000 for dissolution expenses, and (d) to JWAC after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination, in each case, subject to the Trust Agreement. For and in consideration of JWAC entering into this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Company Entities and each Seller and the Seller Representative hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its Affiliates that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Company Entities or any Seller or the Seller Representative nor any of their respective Affiliates do now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom made directly or indirectly to Public Stockholders (“Public Stockholder Distributions”), or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any Public Stockholder Distributions), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any proposed or actual business relationship between JWAC or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the Company Entities or any Seller or the Seller Representative or any of their respective Representatives, on the other hand, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (collectively, the “Released Claims”). Each of the Company Entities, each Seller and the Seller Representative, each on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that any such Party or any of its Affiliates may have against the Trust Account (including any Public Stockholder Distributions) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with JWAC or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any Public Stockholder Distributions) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of this Agreement or any other agreement with JWAC or its Affiliates). The Company Entities and each Seller and the Seller Representative each agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by JWAC and its Affiliates to induce JWAC to enter in this Agreement, and each of the Company Entities and each Seller and the Seller Representative further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against such Party and each of its Affiliates under applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary in this Section 12.1, but otherwise subject to the terms of this Agreement, (A) the Company Entities or any Seller or the Seller Representative or any of their respective Affiliates may commence any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to JWAC or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against JWAC or its Representatives, against assets or funds held outside of the Trust Account (including any funds released from the Trust Account and assets that are acquired with such funds other than the Public Stockholder Distributions); provided that such claim shall not permit such Party or any of its Affiliates (or any Person claiming on any of their behalves or in lieu of them) to have any claim against the Trust Account or any amounts contained therein or Public Stockholder Distributions, and (B) nothing in this Section 12.1 shall limit or prohibit the Company Entities, any Seller or the Seller Representative or any of their respective Affiliates from pursuing a claim against JWAC for specific performance or other equitable relief. This Section 12.1 shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason.

Except for the rights of the D&O Indemnified Persons set forth in Section 8.16, and EGS and JTN set forth in Section 13.14, which the Parties acknowledge and agree are express third party beneficiaries of this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement or in any instrument or document executed by any party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall create any rights in, or be deemed to have been executed for the benefit of, any Person that is not a Party hereto or thereto or a successor or permitted assign of such a Party. For the avoidance of doubt, no stockholder of Pubco after the Closing (in his, her or its capacity as such) is a third party beneficiary of this Agreement or shall have any rights hereunder.

13.4 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof, provided, however, that to the extent that the laws of the State of Delaware are required to apply with respect to the Merger or any other actions hereunder, the laws of the State of Delaware shall so apply, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof. All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any state or federal court located in New York, New York (or in any appellate court therefrom) (the “Specified Courts”). Each Party hereto hereby (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Specified Court for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any Party hereto and (b) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by any Specified Court. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each Party irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any other Action relating to the Transactions, on behalf of itself, or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process to such Party at the applicable address set forth in Section 13.1. Nothing in this Section 13.4 shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law.

13.5 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THAT FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 13.5. Each of the Parties acknowledge that each has been represented in connection with the signing of this waiver by independent legal counsel selected by the respective Party and that such Party has discussed the legal consequences and import of this waiver with legal counsel. Each of the Parties further acknowledge that each has read and understands the meaning of this waiver and grants this waiver knowingly, voluntarily, without duress and only after consideration of the consequences of this waiver with legal counsel.

A-75

13.6 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges that the rights of each Party to consummate the Transactions are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any Party, money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching Parties may have not adequate remedy at law, and agree that irreparable damage may occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by an applicable Party in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction, restraining order or other equitable remedy to prevent or remedy any breach of this Agreement and to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in each case, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such Party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that the other Party has an adequate remedy at law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

13.7 Severability. In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified or deleted, as to the jurisdiction involved, only to the extent necessary to render the same valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby nor shall the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision be affected thereby in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

13.8 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified only by execution of a written instrument signed by JWAC, Pubco, the Company, the Seller Representative and Sellers holding in the aggregate a Pro Rata Share in excess of fifty percent (50%); provided that no amendment, supplementation or modification shall affect a Seller in a manner materially and disproportionately adverse to the other Sellers without the prior written consent of such Seller.

13.9 Waiver. Each of JWAC, Pubco and the Company on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, and each Seller on its behalf, may in its sole discretion (i) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of any other non-Affiliated Party hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties by such other non-Affiliated Party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (iii) waive compliance by such other non-Affiliated Party with any covenant or condition contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party or Parties to be bound thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any waiver of any Seller Representative Provision shall also require the prior written consent of the Seller Representative.

13.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents or instruments referred to herein, including any exhibits, annexes and schedules attached hereto, which exhibits, annexes and schedules are incorporated herein by reference, together with the Ancillary Documents, embody the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein.

(c) The Seller Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted under any Seller Representative Provision as the Seller Representative while acting in good faith and without willful misconduct or gross negligence, and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith.

The Seller Representative shall be fully protected in relying upon any written notice, demand, certificate or document that it in good faith believes to be genuine, including facsimiles or copies thereof, and no Person shall have any Liability for relying on the Seller Representative in the foregoing manner. In connection with the performance of its rights and obligations hereunder, the Seller Representative shall have the right at any time and from time to time to select and engage, at the cost and expense of Pubco and the Company, attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, advisors, consultants and clerical personnel and obtain such other professional and expert assistance, maintain such records and incur other out-of-pocket expenses, as the Seller Representative may deem necessary or appropriate from time to time. All of the indemnities, immunities, releases and powers granted to the Seller Representative under this Section 13.15 shall survive the Closing and continue indefinitely.

A-79

(d) If the Seller Representative shall die, become disabled, dissolve, resign or otherwise be unable or unwilling to fulfill its responsibilities as representative and agent of Earnout Participants, then the Earnout Participants shall, within ten (10) days after such death, disability, dissolution, resignation or other event, appoint a successor Seller Representative (by vote or written consent of the Earnout Participants holding in the aggregate an Earnout Percentage in excess of fifty percent (50%)), and promptly thereafter (but in any event within two (2) Business Days after such appointment) notify Pubco, the Company and JWAC in writing of the identity of such successor.

Opinion of Stanton Park Advisors LLC

Opinion of Financial Advisor to Jupiter Wellness Acquisition Corp.

The summary of the opinion in this proxy statement/solicitation consent/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the written opinion, which is included as Annex E to this proxy statement/prospectus and sets forth the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken and other matters considered by Stanton Park in preparing its opinion. However, neither Stanton Park’s written opinion nor the summary of its opinion and the related analyses set forth in this proxy statement/solicitation consent/prospectus are intended to be, and do not constitute, advice or a recommendation to any shareholder as to how such shareholder should act or vote with respect to any matter relating to the proposed Business Combination or otherwise, including, without limitation, whether any such shareholder should redeem its shares or any party should participate in the Private Placement.

Stanton Park’s opinion only addressed whether, as of the date of the opinion, the Business Combination in the aggregate pursuant to the Merger Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to JWAC. It did not address any other terms, aspects, or implications of the Business Combination, the Merger Agreement or any related or other transaction or agreement, including, without limitation, (i) other than assuming the consummation thereof, the Private Placement; (ii) the shareholder support agreement and the lock-up agreements to be entered into in connection with the Merger Agreement, (iii) any term or aspect of the Business Combination that is not susceptible to financial analysis, (iv) the fairness of the Business Combination, or all or any portion of the Merger shares, to any security holders of JWAC, Chijet, Inc. (“Chijet”) or any other person or any creditors or other constituencies of JWAC, Chijet or any other person, (v) the appropriate capital structure of JWAC or Chijet or whether JWAC should be issuing debt or equity securities or a combination of both in the Business Combination, (vi) any capital raising or financing transaction contemplated by JWAC, including, without limitation, the Private Placement, nor (vi) the fairness of the amount or nature, or any other aspect, of any compensation or consideration payable to or received by any officers, directors, or employees of any parties to the Business Combination, or any class of such persons, relative to the Merger shares, or otherwise. Stanton Park did not express any opinion as to what the value of shares of JWAC Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or any other security of JWAC actually will be when issued in the Business Combination or the prices at which shares of JWAC Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, or any other securities of JWAC or Chijet could trade, be purchased or sold at any time.

Stanton Park’s opinion did not address the relative merits of the Business Combination as compared to any alternative transaction or business strategy that might have existed for JWAC, or the merits of the underlying decision by the board of directors of JWAC or JWAC to engage in or consummate the Business Combination. The financial and other terms of the Business Combination were determined pursuant to negotiations between the parties to the Merger Agreement and were not determined by or pursuant to any recommendation from Stanton Park. In addition, Stanton Park was not authorized to, and did not, solicit indications of interest from third parties regarding a potential transaction involving JWAC.

¹Subject to additional review by Stanton Park Advisors

D-1

Stanton Park was not requested to, and did not, (a) initiate or participate in any discussions or negotiations with respect to the Merger, the securities, assets, businesses or operations of JWAC, Chijet or any other party, or any alternatives to the Merger, (b) negotiate the terms of the Business Combination, or (c) advise the board of directors of JWAC, JWAC or any other party with respect to alternatives to the Business Combination.² Stanton Park’s analyses and opinion were necessarily based upon market, economic, and other conditions as they existed on, and could be evaluated as of, the date of Stanton Park’s opinion and upon certain assumptions regarding such financial, economic, market and other conditions, which were subject to unusual volatility and which, if different than assumed, could have a material impact on Stanton Park’s analyses and opinion. Accordingly, although subsequent developments could arise that would otherwise affect its opinion, Stanton Park did not assume any obligation to update, review, or reaffirm its opinion to JWAC or any other person or otherwise to comment on or consider events occurring or coming to Stanton Park’s attention after the date of its opinion.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The laws of the Cayman Islands do not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful default, willful neglect, fraud or the consequences of committing a crime.

Chijet’s Proposed Articles that will be in effect upon completion of the Business Combination provide for indemnification and advancement of expenses for its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under the laws of the Cayman Islands, in the absence of willful neglect or default. In connection with the Closing, Chijet intends to enter into indemnification agreements with each post-Closing director of Chijet.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 22. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows:

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

	i.	To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

	ii.	To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

	iii.	To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

	(2)	That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post- effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

	(3)	To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

	(4)	That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

II-2

(5)

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

	(i)	Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

	(ii)	Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

	(iii)	The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

	(iv)	Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

	(6)	That prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus

		will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reoffering by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

	(7)	That every prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (6) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act , each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

	(8)	Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

	(9)	The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

	(10)	To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
