NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Cartica Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on February 3, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).

The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

On January 7, 2022, the Company closed its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and completed the sale of 23,000,000 units (the “Units”), including 3,000,000 Units sold pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriter’s option to purchase additional units to cover over-allotments, each Unit consisting of (i) one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (collectively, the “Class A ordinary shares”), and (ii) one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (collectively, the “Warrants”). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share for $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $230,000,000 (before underwriting discounts and offering expenses).

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 15,900,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to Cartica Acquisition Partners, LLC (the “Sponsor”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $15,900,000. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Warrants sold as part of the Units in the IPO, except that the Private Placement Warrants, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, (i) will not be redeemable by the Company (except as described in the registration statement for the Company’s IPO (the “Registration Statement”)); (ii) may not (and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants may not) be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders thereof until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s Business Combination (subject to certain exceptions described in the Registration Statement); (iii) may be exercised by the holders thereof on a cashless basis; and (iv) will be entitled to registration rights. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Warrants was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Transaction costs amounted to $13,295,086 consisting of $12,650,000 of underwriting discount and $645,086 of other offering costs.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The rules of the stock exchange that the Company will list its securities on will require that the Company’s Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction 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 complete a Business Combination successfully. At the closing of the IPO, an amount equal to at least $10.30 per Unit sold in the IPO, including proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, were deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), located in the United States 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 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) Company’s liquidation. However, to mitigate the risk of us being deemed to have been operating as an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act), on January 5, 2024, the Company instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash items until the earlier of consummation of its Business Combination or liquidation, as reflected in the amendment to the investment management trust agreement.

The Company will provide the holders of its issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the units in its IPO (whether they are purchased in such offering or thereafter in the open market) (the “Public Shares”) (the “public shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares, upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the Public Shares exclude the Class A ordinary shares held by the Sponsor after the Conversion, as defined below. The public shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.30 per Public Share, plus 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), calculated as of two business days prior to the completion of the Business Combination. The per-share amount to be distributed to public shareholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions which the underwriter for the Company’s IPO has waived (as discussed in Note 6). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. All of the Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. In accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and its guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Given that the Public Shares have been issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., public warrants), the initial carrying value of Class A ordinary shares classified as temporary equity will be allocated the proceeds as determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. The Class A ordinary shares are subject to ASC 480-10-S99. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either (i) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or (ii) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to recognize the changes immediately. Although redemptions cannot cause the Company’s net tangible assets to fall below $5,000,001, the Public Shares are redeemable and have been classified as such on the balance sheet until such date that a redemption event takes place.

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, it receives an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law approving a Business Combination, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting of the Company. If a shareholder vote is not required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transactions is required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote any Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and Public Shares held by it in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each public shareholder may elect to redeem their 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 shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association will provide that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Company must consummate a Business Combination initially by July 7, 2023 (which was 18 months from the closing of IPO), which was extended to April 7, 2024 and further to January 7, 2025 (or such earlier date as determined by the board) (the “Combination Period”). If the Company has not consummated a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will redeem 100% of the Public Shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, subject to applicable law and certain conditions.

The Sponsor and the Company’s directors and officers have agreed to waive: (i) their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of the Company’s Business Combination and (ii) their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with its Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete its Business Combination within the Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre- Business Combination activity.

The Company will have until January 7, 2025 (or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board) to complete a Business Combination. If the Company has not completed a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

On May 23, 2023, the Sponsor entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Cartica Investors, LP and Cartica Investors II, LP (together, the “Cartica Funds”) and Namaste Universe Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Namaste”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Namaste acquired from the Cartica Funds, certain membership interests in the Sponsor, which combined interests entitled Namaste to receive, in the aggregate, 3,490,949 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share and 15,900,000 private placement warrants (the transaction, the “Transfer”). In connection with the Transfer, the Company terminated the Forward Purchase Agreement, amended the administrative support agreement (see Note 5), and experienced a change in its board of directors, as more fully described below within these condensed financial statements.

In connection with the Transfer, on May 23, 2023, Subramanian Ramadorai, Keki M. Mistry, Farida Khambata, Parul Bhandari, Asif Ramji and Steven J. Quamme resigned as directors of the Company’s board of directors and Steven J. Quamme resigned as interim Chief Executive Officer. Concurrently with the Transfer, holders of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares elected Suresh Guduru, Suresh Singamsetty, Kishore Kondragunta, Rana Gujral, Kyle Ingvald Parent and John F. Levy as directors of the Company’s board of directors (collectively, the “New Directors”). In addition, Kyle Ingvald Parent and Suresh Singamsetty were appointed as Class I directors with a term expiring at the Company’s first annual general meeting; John F. Levy and Kishore Kondragunta were appointed as Class II directors with a term expiring at the second annual general meeting; and Rana Gujral and Suresh Guduru were appointed as Class III directors with a term expiring at the Company’s third annual general meeting. John F. Levy, Rana Gujral and Kyle Invalid Parent have been appointed as members of the Board’s audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) and compensation, nominating and corporate governance committee, with Mr. Levy serving as the Chairman of the Audit Committee and Mr. Gujral serving as the Chairman of the compensation, nominating and corporate governance committee. The Company’s board determined that John F. Levy, Rana Gujral, Kyle Ingvald Parent and Kishore Kondragunta are each an “independent director” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules.

On June 29, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,750,000 Class A ordinary shares to the Sponsor, upon the conversion (the “Conversion”) of an equal number of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, held by the Sponsor. The Class A ordinary shares issued in connection with the Conversion are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the Class B ordinary shares before the Conversion, including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of a Business Combination as described in the prospectus for the Company’s IPO.

On June 30, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting in lieu of an annual meeting (the “First Extension Meeting”) to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “First Charter Amendment”) to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination from July 7, 2023 to April 7, 2024 (or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board) (the “First Extension”).

In connection with the First Extension Meeting, shareholders holding 18,785,585 Class A ordinary shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. Following the redemptions and the Conversion, there were 8,964,415 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding and 1,000,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding and the Sponsor holds approximately 55% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares. On July 17, 2023, the Company paid an aggregate amount of $200,917,798 from the Trust Account to the aforementioned redeeming shareholders for the 18,785,585 Public Shares redeemed on June 30, 2023 which included interest earned through July 13, 2023, the date the redemption was processed (see Note 2).

On January 5, 2024, the Company instructed Continental to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank, with Continental continuing to act as trustee, until the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, which was reflected in the amendment to the investment management trust agreement with Continental. As a result, following the liquidation of investments in the Trust Account, the remaining proceeds from the initial public offering and private placement are no longer invested in U.S. government securities or money market funds invested in U.S. government securities.

On April 3, 2024, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting in lieu of an annual general meeting of shareholders (the “Second Extension Meeting”) at which the Company’s shareholders approved the proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as amended (the “Second Charter Amendment”) to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination from April 7, 2024 to January 7, 2025 (the “Second Extension”). In connection with the Second Charter Amendment, the Company issued a promissory note (the “Extension Note”) to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $360,000 in connection with the extension of the Company’s termination date from April 7, 2024 to January 7, 2025. The Company first deposited in its Trust Account $40,000 on April 7, 2024, and has deposited thereafter and will continue to deposit in its Trust Account $40,000 on the 7th day of each subsequent month through January 7, 2025 for the benefits of Public Shares that were not redeemed in connection with the Second Extension. In connection with the Second Extension, shareholders holding 1,964,993 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, approximately $21.87 million (approximately $11.13 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders. Immediately following the redemptions, there were 2,249,422 Public Shares issued and outstanding.

On April 16, 2024, the Company received a notice (the “Nasdaq Delisting Notice”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Nasdaq” or the “Exchange”) indicating that the Company did not regain compliance with the Minimum Total Holders Rule during the Extension Period, as defined below. On September 25, 2023, the Company received a written notice from the Nasdaq indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2), which requires the Company to maintain at least 400 total holders for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market (the “Minimum Total Holders Rule”). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(2)(B)(i), the maximum amount of time for the Company to regain compliance with the Minimum Total Holders Rule is 180 days, or until March 25, 2024 (the “Extension Period”). The Company had requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) which stayed the suspension of trading on the Company’s securities, and the Company’s securities continued to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market while the hearing and the written decision by the Panel were in process. The Company appeared before the Panel on May 23, 2024.

On June 17, 2024, the Company received a written notice from the Panel indicating it had granted the Company’s request for continued listing on the Exchange and transfer of its securities to the Nasdaq Capital Market from the Nasdaq Global Market, subject to the obligation that, on or before June 28, 2024, the Company will demonstrate compliance with Listing Rule 5450(a)(2). On July 11, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq notifying the Company that the Exchange approved the Company’s application to list its securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company’s securities were transferred to the Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on July 12, 2024. On July 26, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq notifying the Company that the Company has demonstrated compliance with Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) and thus the Panel has determined to continue the listing of the Company’s securities on the Exchange.

On June 24, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among the Company, Nidar Infrastructure Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Nidar”), and Yotta Data and Cloud Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Nidar (“Merger Sub”). Nidar is a data center provider for artificial intelligence and high-performance compute in India. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, (a) Merger Sub will merge with and into Cartica (the “First Merger”), with Cartica surviving the First Merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Nidar (Cartica as the surviving entity of the First Merger, the “Surviving Entity”) and the shareholders of Cartica becoming shareholders of Nidar; and (b) Surviving Entity will merge with and into Nidar (such merger, the “Second Merger” and together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Nidar (such company, as the surviving entity of the Second Merger, the “Surviving Company”) surviving the Second Merger. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, (i) the Sponsor, the Company, and Nidar entered into a Lock-Up and Support Agreement (the “Sponsor Lock-Up and Support Agreement”), and (ii) Nidar, the Company, and the Nidar shareholders entered into a Lock-Up and Support Agreement (the “Nidar Shareholder Lock-Up and Support Agreement”).

The Sponsor and the Company’s directors and officers have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to any Founder Shares (including any Founder Shares that were converted into Class A ordinary shares) if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if any such person 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 underwriter have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account. In the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per-share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than $10.30 per Unit.

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (except for the Company’s the independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.30 per Public Share or (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 $10.30 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter 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 (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses and 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.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $19,294 in its operating bank accounts and working capital deficit of $5,426,361.

In August 2023, the Company issued a promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 (the “Working Capital Note”). On February 16, 2024, the Working Capital Note was amended to increase the principal sum from up to $300,000 to up to $750,000. In April 2024, the Working Capital Note was amended to increase the principal sum from up to $750,000 to up to $1,250,000. On June 24, 2024, the Working Capital Note was further amended to increase the principal sum from $1,250,000 to $1,750,000 (the “Third Amendment”). The Working Capital Note, as amended, bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination and (b) the date of the Company’s liquidation. $1,313,500 and $250,000 was outstanding under the Working Capital Note as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

In April 2024, the Company issued a promissory note (the “Extension Note”) to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $360,000 in connection with the extension of the Company’s termination date from April 7, 2024 to January 7, 2025. The Company first deposited in its Trust Account $40,000 on April 7, 2024, and has deposited thereafter and will continue to deposit in its Trust Account $40,000 on the 7th day of each subsequent month through January 7, 2025 for the benefits of Public Shares that were not redeemed in connection with the Second Extension. As of June 30, 2024, the Company borrowed $120,000 under the terms of the Extension Note. Subsequent to June 30, 2024, the company has drawn additional $80,000 to cover extension payments in the Trust Account to allow extension through September 7, 2024.

Until the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, and structuring, negotiating, and consummating the Business Combination.

The Company may need to raise further additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

The Company has until January 7, 2025, to consummate a Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not consummated by the liquidation date, there may be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. Additionally, the Company does not have sufficient liquidity to fund the working capital needs of the Company through January 7, 2025, or through twelve months from the filing of this report. Management of the Company has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months from the filing of this report. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after January 7, 2025.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024 (the “2023 Annual Report”). The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future periods.

Emerging Growth Company

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

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these condensed financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Cash and Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At June 30, 2024, all of the assets in the Trust Account were in the form of cash held in an interest-bearing demand deposit account and at December 31, 2023, substantially all of the assets in the Trust Account were held in a money market fund that invests in U.S. Treasury securities.

The Company classified its U.S. Treasury and equivalent securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with ASC Topic 320 “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.” Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost on the accompanying condensed balance sheets and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.

Offering Costs associated with the IPO

The Company complies with the requirements of the FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1. Offering costs consist of underwriting fees, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the IPO. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the IPO based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with warrant liabilities have been expensed and offering costs associated with the Class A ordinary shares have been charged to temporary equity at the completion of the IPO. The Company incurred offering costs amounting to $13,295,086 as a result of the IPO (consisting of $12,650,000 of underwriting fees and $645,086 of other offering costs). The Company recorded $12,916,743 of offering costs as a reduction of temporary equity in connection with the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units. The Company immediately expensed $378,343 of offering costs in connection with the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants that were classified as liabilities.

On April 14, 2023, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (“J.P. Morgan”), the underwriter for the IPO of the Company, terminated its association with the Company and waived any fees and compensation in connection with such association, including its entitlement to the payment of deferred compensation in the amount of $8,050,000 in connection with its role as underwriter in the Company’s IPO. As a result, the Company recognized $214,220 of other income on the Company’s condensed statements of operations attributable to the derecognition of deferred underwriting fees allocated to offering costs and $7,835,780 was recorded to additional paid-in capital in relation to the waiver of the deferred underwriting discount in the accompanying condensed financial statements (see Note 6).

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial 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’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands or any other taxable jurisdiction. In accordance with federal income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company, but rather on the individual owners. United States (“U.S.”) taxation would occur on the individual owners if certain tax elections are made by U.S. owners and the Company were treated as a passive foreign investment company. Additionally, U.S. taxation could occur to the Company itself if the Company is engaged in a U.S. trade or business. The Company is not engaged in a U.S. trade or business at this time.

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 balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

●

Level 1, Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

●

Level 2, Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means.

●

Level 3, Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” Derivative instruments are initially recorded at fair value on the grant date and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Warrant Liabilities

The Company accounts for the 27,400,000 warrants issued in connection with the IPO and the concurrent private placement of warrants, consisting of 11,500,000 Public Warrants and 15,900,000 Private Placement Warrants (inclusive of the exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option), in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company has classified each warrant as a liability at fair value. This liability will be subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date, with any change in fair value being recognized in the Company’s statement of operations for the period ended on such date. Each fair value determination will be based upon a valuation obtained from a third-party valuation firm as and when necessary (See Note 8).

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s Business Combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies Public Shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Public Shares sold as part of the Units in the IPO have been issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., Public Warrants) and as such, the initial carrying value of Public Shares classified as temporary equity have been allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. The Public Shares are subject to ASC 480-10-S99 and are currently not redeemable as the redemption is contingent upon the occurrence of the events mentioned above. According to ASC 480-10-S99-15, no subsequent adjustment is needed if it is not probable that the instrument will become redeemable.

In connection with the First Extension Meeting (see Note 1), shareholders holding 18,785,585 Class A ordinary shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. Following the redemptions and the Conversion, there were 8,964,415 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding and 1,000,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding and the Sponsor holds approximately 55% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares. On July 17, 2023, the Company paid an aggregate amount of $200,917,798 to the aforementioned redeeming shareholders for the 18,785,585 Class A ordinary shares redeemed on June 30, 2023 which included interest earned through July 13, 2023, the date the redemption was processed.

In connection with the Second Extension Meeting (see Note 1), shareholders holding 1,964,993 Class A ordinary shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. Following the redemptions, there were 6,999,422 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding and 1,000,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding and the Sponsor holds approximately 68.1% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares. On April 8, 2024, the Company paid an aggregate amount of $21,871,605 to the aforementioned redeeming shareholders for the 1,964,993 Public Shares redeemed on April 3, 2024 which included interest earned through April 8, 2024, the date the redemption was processed.

Net (Loss) Income per Ordinary Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net (loss) income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Subsequent measurement of the redeemable Class A ordinary shares are excluded from the (loss) income per ordinary shares as the redemption value approximates fair value.

The Company calculates its earnings per share by allocating net (loss) income pro rata to its Class A and Class B ordinary shares and bases on any redemption and restriction features. This presentation contemplates a Business Combination as the most likely outcome, in which case, both classes of ordinary shares share pro rata in the (loss) income of the Company.

The calculation of diluted (loss) income per share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) IPO, and (ii) the private placement since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The warrants are exercisable to purchase 27,400,000 Class A ordinary shares in the aggregate. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net (loss) income per ordinary share is the same as basic net (loss) income per ordinary share for the periods presented.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas and introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires disclosure of incremental income tax information within the rate reconciliation and expanded disclosures of income taxes paid, among other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s management does not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.

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

NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Public Units

Pursuant to the IPO, the Company sold 23,000,000 Units (which included 3,000,000 Units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the over-allotment option) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrants”).

Public Warrants

Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per Class A ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the initial shareholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares held by the initial shareholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A ordinary shares during the 20-trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates the Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, the $18.00 per share warrant redemption trigger price described below under “Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 per share warrant redemption trigger price described below under the caption “Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The warrants cannot be exercised until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination, and will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, five years after the completion of the Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants have been registered under the Securities Act or a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue a Class A ordinary share upon exercise of a warrant unless the Class A ordinary share issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the Class A ordinary share underlying such unit.

If the holders exercise their warrants on a cashless basis, they will pay the warrant exercise price by surrendering warrants for the number of Class A ordinary shares equal to (x) the number of Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (as defined in the next sentence) of the Class A ordinary shares over the exercise price of the warrants, divided by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” is the average reported closing price of the Class A ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent or on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants, as applicable.

Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Class A Ordinary Share Equals or Exceeds $18.00

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (except for Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees):

●

in whole and not in part;

●

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

●

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”), provided that prior to such redemption such holders will be able to exercise their warrants according to their usual exercise rights (i.e., on a cash basis); and

●

if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders, and certain additional terms and conditions are met.

Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Class A Ordinary Share Equals or Exceeds $10.00 and is Less Than $18.00

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:

●

in whole and not in part, and only if the Private Placement Warrants are simultaneously redeemed;

●

at a price of $0.10 per warrant;

●

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; provided that prior to such redemption holders will not only be able to exercise their warrants according to their usual exercise rights, but also on a cashless basis and receive the number of shares determined based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” (as defined above) of the Class A ordinary shares except as otherwise described in the warrant agreement; and

●

if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00 per share for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders, and certain additional terms and conditions are met.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than twenty (20) business days after the closing of the Business Combination, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60th) business day after the closing of the Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption.

Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a cashless basis in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

The Sponsor purchased 15,900,000 Private Placement Warrants (which included 1,500,000 Private Placement Warrants issued pursuant to the full exercise of the over-allotment option) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $15,900,000 in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the closing of the IPO. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7). A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants have been added to the proceeds from the IPO held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

The Private Placement Warrants are non-redeemable (except as described in Note 3 under “Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Class A Ordinary Share Equals or Exceeds $10.00 and is Less Than $18.00”) and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. If they are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants included in the Units being sold in the IPO.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On February 9, 2021, the Company issued 7,187,500 Class B ordinary shares to the Sponsor in consideration for the Sponsor paying certain offering and formation costs on behalf of the Company of $25,000 (the “Founder Shares”). Also on February 9, 2021, the Sponsor granted 1,078,125 Founder Shares, with a total fair value of $3,234, to the Company’s executive officers and consultant. On April 24, 2021, the Sponsor transferred 75,000 Founder Shares to each of its former directors, for a total of 300,000 Founder Shares, with a total fair value of $900, resulting in the Sponsor holding 6,887,500 Founder Shares. On October 29, 2021, the Sponsor granted a former director a membership interest in the Sponsor representing an indirect interest in 75,000 Founder Shares, with a fair value of $225. On October 31, 2021, the Sponsor surrendered 1,437,500 Founder Shares, reducing the total number of Founder Shares outstanding to 5,750,000 Founder Shares (see Note 7). The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 750,000 Founder Shares that were subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriter’s over-allotment option was not exercised, so that the total number of Founder Shares would equal 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the IPO. As of January 7, 2022, the over-allotment option was fully exercised, and such shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

The Sponsor and the Company’s directors and executive officers have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (i) One year after the completion of a Business Combination or (ii) the date following the completion of a Business Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lockup. In addition, the Sponsor has agreed that its Founder Shares are subject to vesting as follows: 50% upon the completion of a Business Combination and 25% each on the attainment and maintenance of certain shareholder return targets based on share trading prices and any dividends paid. Certain events could trigger immediate vesting under certain circumstances. Sponsor Founder Shares that do not vest within an eight-year period from the closing of the Business Combination will be cancelled and forfeited by the Sponsor.

On May 23, 2023, the Sponsor entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Cartica Funds and Namaste. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Namaste acquired from the Cartica Funds, certain membership interests in the Sponsor, which combined interests will entitle Namaste to receive, in the aggregate, 3,490,949 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share and 15,900,000 private placement warrants (see Note 1).

On June 29, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,750,000 Class A ordinary shares to the Sponsor, upon the Conversion of an equal number of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, held by the Sponsor. The Class A ordinary shares issued in connection with the Conversion are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the Class B ordinary shares before the Conversion, including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of a Business Combination as described in the prospectus for the Company’s IPO.

Promissory Notes — Related Party

On February 9, 2021, the Company issued a promissory note (the “First Promissory Note”) to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. On September 20, 2021, the Promissory Note was amended to increase the borrowable amount to $350,000 and to extend the maturity date, and on November 15, 2021 to further extend the maturity date. The amended Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) March 31, 2022 or (ii) the completion of the IPO. At the consummation of the IPO, the outstanding balance of $244,225 for the First Promissory Note was paid in full by the Company. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no additional amount may be borrowed under this note.

In August 2023, the Company issued the Working Capital Note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. On February 16, 2024, the Working Capital Note was amended to increase the principal sum from up to $300,000 to up to $750,000. In April 2024, the Working Capital Note was amended to increase the principal sum from up to $750,000 to up to $1,250,000. On June 24, 2024, the Working Capital Note was further amended to increase the principal sum from $1,250,000 to $1,750,000 (the “Third Amendment”). The Working Capital Note, as amended, bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination and (b) the date of the Company’s liquidation. $1,313,500 and $250,000 was outstanding under the Working Capital Note as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

In April 2024, the Company issued the Extension Note to the Company’s sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $360,000 in connection with the extension of the Company’s termination date from April 7, 2024 to January 7, 2025. The Company first deposited in its Trust Account $40,000 on April 7, 2024, and has deposited thereafter and will continue to deposit in its Trust Account $40,000 on the 7th day of each subsequent month through January 7, 2025 for the benefits of Public Shares that were not redeemed in connection with the Second Extension that was approved at the Second Extension Meeting. $120,000 was drawn and outstanding under the terms of the Extension Note as of June 30, 2024.

Loans – Related Party

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans may be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $2,000,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post- Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no Working Capital Loans outstanding.

Administrative Support Agreement

On January 4, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to pay the Sponsor $930,000 over eighteen months beginning at the closing of the IPO, for the following administrative support expenses: (i) cash compensation to Mr. Goel, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, in the form of an annual salary of $312,000 ; (ii) cash compensation to Mr. Coad, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in the form of an annual salary of $200,000; and (iii) $9,000 per month for office space, utilities and research, analytical, secretarial and administrative support, which the Sponsor is expected to source principally from Cartica Management, LLC (“Cartica Management”). In addition, at the closing of the IPO, the Company paid the Sponsor an aggregate amount of $601,167 of which $549,000 represented compensation and bonuses paid to Mr. Goel and Mr. Coad for their services through the closing of the IPO and $51,667 represented a prepayment of administrative support expenses for January 2022, to be amortized over the service period. Upon completion of a Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these amounts (in the case of the officer compensation, after 30 days’ notice). On May 23, 2023, in connection with the Transfer (see Note 1), the Company and the Sponsor entered into an amendment to the administrative support agreement (the “Amended Administrative Support Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company has ceased to pay the Sponsor for (i) the cash compensation to the Chief Executive Officer in the form of an annual salary of $312,000 and (ii) $9,000 per month for office space, utilities, and research, analytical, secretarial and administrative support. Per the Amended Administrative Support Agreement the Sponsor shall (i) pay to the Company’s Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer an annual cash salary of $200,000, in substantially equal periodic installments, and bonuses of up to $150,000; and (ii) make available, or cause to be made available, to the Company, at a location mutually agreed by the Parties (or any successor location of Sponsor), office space, utilities, and research, analytical, secretarial and administrative support, as may be reasonably required by the Company. In exchange for these services, the Company shall pay Sponsor $16,666.67 per month with the first payment due on or around May 31, 2023 and continuing monthly thereafter until the termination date as defined in the agreement. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred and paid $50,000 and $100,000 in fees for these services, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred and paid $65,333 and $220,333 in fees for these services, respectively.

Anchor Investors

Cartica Investors, LP and Cartica Investors II, LP, two private funds that are affiliates of Cartica Management purchased an aggregate of 1,980,000, or 9.9%, of the Units in the IPO (excluding the Units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option), at the public offering price of $10.00 per Unit for an aggregate amount of $19,800,000.

Non-redemption Agreements

On June 16, 2023 and June 26, 2023, the Company entered into certain non-redemption agreements (the “Non-Redemption Agreements”) with unaffiliated institutional investors (the “Holders”) in exchange for the Holders agreeing either not to request redemption, or to reverse any previously submitted redemption demand with respect to an aggregate of 3,850,000 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share held by the Holders, in connection with the Meeting. In consideration of the foregoing agreement, the Company shall issue to the Holders an aggregate of 962,500 Class A ordinary shares (the “New Shares”) substantially concurrently with or immediately after, the closing of a Business Combination. The Holders will be entitled to the same registration rights set forth in that certain Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement, dated as of January 4, 2022, among Cartica Acquisition Partners, LLC, the Company and the other parties thereto, in respect of all the New Shares held by the Holders.

The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of the 962,500 Class A ordinary shares attributable to the non-redeeming shareholders to be $158,139 or $0.1643 per share. The fair value of the Class A ordinary shares was determined to be an offering cost in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A. Accordingly, it was recognized by the Company as a capital contribution by the Sponsor to induce them not to redeem, with a corresponding charge to additional paid-in capital to recognize the fair value of the shares transferred as an offering cost in the Company’s condensed statements of changes in the shareholder’s deficit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on the effective date of the IPO requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. The holders of these securities will be 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. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. As of January 7, 2022, the over-allotment was fully exercised.

The underwriter received a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $4,600,000 in the aggregate (which included an additional $600,000 received pursuant to the full exercise of the over-allotment option), which was paid at closing of the IPO. In addition, the underwriter was entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $8,050,000 in the aggregate (which included an additional $1,050,000 received pursuant to the full exercise of the over-allotment option). The deferred fee would have been payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

On April 14, 2023, J.P. Morgan, the underwriter for the IPO of the Company, terminated its association with the Company and waived any fees and compensation in connection with such association, including its entitlement to the payment of deferred compensation in the amount of $8,050,000 in connection with its role as underwriter in the Company’s IPO. As a result, the Company recognized $214,220 of other income on the Company’s condensed statements of operations attributable to the derecognition of deferred underwriting fees allocated to offering costs in the accompanying condensed statements of operations and $7,835,780 was recorded to additional paid-in capital in relation to the waiver of the deferred underwriting discount in the accompanying condensed statements of changes in shareholders’ deficit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Forward Purchase Agreement

The Company entered into a forward purchase agreement (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) with the Cartica Funds, pursuant to which the Cartica Funds agreed to subscribe for an aggregate of up to 3,000,000 forward purchase shares for $10.00 per share (the “Forward Purchase Shares”), or up to $30,000,000 in the aggregate, in a private placement to close substantially concurrently with the closing of the Company’s Business Combination, subject to approval at such time by the Cartica Management investment committee. Under the Forward Purchase Agreement, the forward purchase investors (i) must vote any Class A ordinary shares owned by them at the time of any shareholder vote to approve a proposed Business Combination in favor of such proposed Business Combination, and (ii) would be entitled to registration rights with respect to the Forward Purchase Shares and any other Class A ordinary shares acquired by the forward purchase investors, including any acquired subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination. The proceeds from the sale of the Forward Purchase Shares may be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the Company’s Business Combination, expenses in connection with the Company’s Business Combination or for working capital in the post-Business Combination company. These purchases would be required to be made regardless of whether any Class A ordinary shares are redeemed by the Company’s public shareholders. The Forward Purchase Shares would be issued only in connection with the closing of the Business Combination.

On March 14, 2023, the Company received a written notice from Cartica Management advising the Company that the investment committee of Cartica Management had determined that it would not approve the purchase of any Forward Purchase Shares and therefore the Cartica Funds would not purchase any of the Forward Purchase Shares in connection with the Business Combination or otherwise. On May 23, 2023, in connection with the Transfer, the Company and Cartica Funds entered into an agreement to terminate the rights and obligations of the Company and the Cartica Funds under Forward Purchase Agreement. As a result, the Company may lack sufficient funds to consummate the Business Combination.

Service Provider Agreements

The Company has entered into various arrangements with certain business advisors, consultants, and investment institutions to assist the Company with identifying potential targets in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination, provide certain advisory services, and negotiate terms in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination. In connection with these arrangements, the Company may be required to pay such business advisors, consultants, and investment institutions certain contingent fees related to their services to the extent that certain conditions are met. The conditions include, but are not limited to, either (i) signing of a letter of intent with a specific target, (ii) signing a business combination agreement with a specific target, and/or (iii) the successful consummation of an initial Business Combination with a specific target. The contingent fees related to the arrangements entered into as of June 30, 2024, are based on either (i) a percentage of total consideration paid or, (ii) a fixed fee; in either case not to exceed an aggregate amount of $6.0 million. No fees are currently payable under these arrangements.

On June 13, 2023, the Company and the Sponsor entered into an agreement with a service provider whereby upon approval of the First Extension, which occurred on June 30, 2023, $100,000 was due and payable to the service provider. In addition, upon the consummation of the Company’s Business Combination, the service provider will earn and receive an additional $100,000 cash payment from the Company and acquire 50,000 Founder Shares from the Sponsor at $0.003 per share, the original purchase price of such shares. The aggregate fair value of the Founder Shares as of June 30, 2023, the date the shareholders approved the First Extension, was $8,215 or $0.1643 per Founder Share. During the twelve month period ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized and paid $100,000 of fees. No fees were recognized or paid in 2024.

On January 12, 2024, July 22, 2024 and July 30, 2024, the Company engaged a consortium of financial advisors in connection with the Business Combination Agreement as disclosed in Note 1 to act as placement agents for the Company in connection with the proposed offer and private placement of equity or equity-linked securities. In compensation for the services the Company shall pay financial advisors a transaction fee delineated in following tranches:

5.00% of the gross proceeds up to $250 million, plus

4.00% of the gross proceeds in excess of $250 million.

For the period ended June 30, 2024, the Company did not record any advisory fee for the placement agents.

Class A Ordinary Shares— The Company is authorized to issue 300,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. On September 30, 2023, in connection with the First Extension Meeting, shareholders holding 18,785,585 Class A ordinary shares exercised their right to redeem such shares (see Note 1). At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 4,750,000 Class A ordinary shares issued or outstanding (excluding 2,249,422 and 4,214,415 shares subject to redemption), respectively.

Class B Ordinary Shares—The Company is authorized to issue 30,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class B ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. On June 29, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,750,000 Class A ordinary shares to the Sponsor, upon the Conversion of an equal number of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares, held by the Sponsor (see Note 1). The Class A ordinary shares issued in connection with the Conversion are subject to the same restrictions as applied to the Class B ordinary shares before the Conversion, including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of a Business Combination as described in the prospectus for the Company’s IPO.

Holders of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all other matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, except as required by law; provided that only holders of Class B ordinary shares have the right to vote on the appointment of directors prior to the Company’s Business Combination.

The remaining Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares concurrently with or immediately following the completion of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination, the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, 20% of the total number of Class A ordinary shares outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of Class A ordinary shares by public shareholders), including the total number of Class A ordinary shares issued, or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of a Business Combination, excluding any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination and any private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans; provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.

Cash and Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

As of December 31, 2023, the investment in the Company’s Trust Account consisted of $0 in cash and $46,305,735 in money market funds that invest in U.S. Treasury Securities. The Company classified its U.S. Treasury Securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with ASC 320 “Investments — Debt and Equity Securities.” Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. The Company considers all investments with original maturities of more than three months but less than one year to be short-term investments. The carrying value approximates the fair value due to its short-term maturity. The carrying value/amortized cost, excluding gross unrealized holding losses and fair value of held to maturity securities as of December 31, 2023, are as follows:


	Carrying		Gross		Gross
	Value/Amortized		Unrealized		Unrealized
As of December 31, 2023	Cost		Gains		Losses		Fair Value

Warrant Liabilities

The Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants have been accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities in the accompanying condensed balance sheets. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed statements of operations.

The Company used both the Black-Scholes Merton formula and a Monte Carlo simulation model to value the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants at Initial Measurement. The Company allocated the proceeds received from (i) the sale of Units (which is inclusive of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one Public Warrant) and (ii) the sale of Private Placement Warrants, first to the warrants based on their fair values as determined at initial measurement, with the remaining proceeds allocated to ordinary shares subject to possible redemption (temporary equity) based on their relative fair values at the initial measurement date. The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at Initial Measurement due to the use of unobservable inputs. Inherent in pricing models are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life and risk-free interest rate. At initial measurement, the Company estimated the selected volatility of its ordinary shares based on the implied volatility of comparable SPAC warrants. Effective February 25, 2022, the Public Warrants began trading separately.

As of June 30, 2024, the value of Public Warrants is based on observable trading prices.

As of December 31, 2023, in order to value the Private Placement Warrants, the Company compared the expected fair value of the Public Warrants using a Monte Carlo simulation model to the trading value of the Public Warrants to calculate an estimate of the probability of a successful Business Combination. The inputs used in the Monte Carlo analysis included expected market volatility, expected risk-free interest rate and expected life of the Public Warrants. The Company estimated the selected market volatility following a successful Business Combination by considering the five‐year historical volatility of the NASDAQ 100 Tech Sector index. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the Public Warrants following a successful Business Combination. The Company used the contractual five-year life as the expected life of the Public Warrants. The Company compared the estimated fair value of the Public Warrants following a successful Business Combination to the current trading price of the Public Warrants to calculate an estimate of the probability of a successful Business Combination. The Company then applied a Black-Scholes formula and the calculated probability of a successful Business Combination to estimate the fair value of the Private Warrants. The inputs into the Black Scholes model for the Private Warrants at initial measurement were the same as those used in the Public Warrant analysis.

As of June 30, 2024, in order to value the Private Placement Warrants, the Company compared the expected fair value of the Public Warrants using a Monte Carlo simulation model to the trading value of the Public Warrants to calculate an implied volatility and probability of successful Business Combination. The inputs used in the Monte Carlo analysis included implied volatility, expected risk-free interest rate and expected life of the Public Warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the Public Warrants following a successful Business Combination. The Company used the contractual five-year life as the expected life of the Public Warrants. The Company then applied a Black-Scholes formula to estimate the fair value of the Private Warrants. The inputs into the Black Scholes model for the Private Warrants at initial measurement were the same as those used in the Public Warrant analysis.

The key inputs into the Monte Carlo simulation model and Black-Scholes Merton formula for the Private Placement Warrants were as follows at initial measurement:

Overview

We were incorporated in the Cayman Islands on February 3, 2021. We were formed for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination with one or more businesses.

Table of Contents

We have until January 7, 2025 (or such earlier date as determined by the board of directors) to complete a Business Combination (see April 2024 update below for the Second Charter Amendment). If we have not completed a Business Combination within such period of time, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the period of time provided in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

On January 24, 2024, the SEC adopted new rules and regulations for special-purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”), which became effective on July 1, 2024 (the “2024 SPAC Rules”). The 2024 SPAC Rules require, among other matters, (i) additional disclosures relating to SPAC Business Combination transactions; (ii) additional disclosures relating to dilution and to conflicts of interest involving sponsors and their affiliates in both SPAC initial public offerings and Business Combination transactions; (iii) additional disclosures regarding projections included in SEC filings in connection with proposed Business Combination transactions; and (iv) the requirement that both the SPAC and its target company be co-registrants for Business Combination registration statements. In addition, the SEC’s adopting release provided guidance describing circumstances in which a SPAC could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, including its duration, asset composition, business purpose, and the activities of the SPAC and its management team in furtherance of such goals. The 2024 SPAC Rules may materially affect our ability to negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination and may increase the costs and time related thereto.

Recent Developments

On January 5, 2024, we instructed Continental to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank, with Continental continuing to act as trustee, until the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or our liquidation. As a result, following the liquidation of investments in the Trust Account, the remaining proceeds from the initial public offering and private placement are no longer invested in U.S. government securities or money market funds invested in U.S. government securities.

On February 16, 2024, the Working Capital Note was amended to increase the principal sum from up to $300,000 to up to $750,000. In April 2024, the Second Promissory Note was amended to increase the principal sum from up to $750,000 to up to $1,250,000. On June 24, 2024, the Working Capital Note was further amended to increase the principal sum from $1,250,000 to $1,750,000. The Working Capital Note, as amended, bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of our initial Business Combination and (b) the date of the Company’s liquidation. In 2024 the Company borrowed an aggregate of $1,063,500 under the terms of the Working Capital Note.

On April 3, 2024, we held the Second Extension Meeting at which our shareholders approved the Second Charter Amendment for the Second Extension. In connection with the Second Charter Amendment we issued the Extension Note to our sponsor, pursuant to which our sponsor agreed to loan us up to $360,000 in connection with the extension of our termination date from April 7, 2024 to January 7, 2025. We first deposited in its Trust Account $40,000 on April 7, 2024, and has deposited thereafter and will continue to deposit in its Trust Account $40,000 on the 7th day of each subsequent month through January 7, 2025 for the benefits of Public Shares that were not redeemed in connection with the Second Extension that was approved at the Second Extension Meeting. In connection with the extension, shareholders holding 1,964,993 Class A ordinary shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in our Trust Account. As a result, approximately $21.87 million (approximately $11.13 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders. Immediately following the redemptions, there were 6,999,422 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding.

Table of Contents

On April 16, 2024, we received the Nasdaq Delisting Notice from the Nasdaq indicating that we did not regain compliance with the Minimum Total Holders Rule during the Extension Period, as defined below. On September 25, 2023, we received a written notice from the Nasdaq indicating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2), which requires the Company to maintain at least 400 total holders for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market (the “Minimum Total Holders Rule”). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(2)(B)(i), the maximum amount of time for the Company to regain compliance with the Minimum Total Holders Rule is 180 days, or until March 25, 2024 (the “Extension Period”). We had requested a hearing before the Panel which stayed the suspension of trading on our securities, and our securities continued to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market while the hearing and the written decision by the Panel were in process. We appeared before the Panel on May 23, 2024.

On June 17, 2024, we received a written notice from the Panel indicating it had granted our request for continued listing on the Exchange and transfer of its securities to the Nasdaq Capital Market from the Nasdaq Global Market, subject to the obligation that, on or before June 28, 2024, the Company will demonstrate compliance with Listing Rule 5450(a)(2). On July 11, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq notifying the Company that the Exchange approved the Company’s application to list its securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company’s securities were transferred to the Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on July 12, 2024. On July 26, 2024 the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq notifying the Company that the Company has demonstrated compliance with Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) and thus the Panel has determined to continue the listing of the Company’s securities on the Exchange.

Business Combination Agreement

On June 24, 2024, we entered into the Business Combination Agreement by and among Cartica, Nidar, and the Merger Sub.

(ii)

at the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement and in accordance with the Companies Act (as amended) of the Cayman Islands (the “Cayman Companies Law”), Merger Sub will merge with and into Cartica (such merger, the “First Merger”), with Cartica surviving the First Merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Nidar (Cartica as the surviving entity of the First Merger, the “Surviving Entity”) and the shareholders of Cartica becoming shareholders of Nidar;

(iii)

immediately following the consummation of the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement and in accordance with the Cayman Companies Law, the Surviving Entity will merge with and into Nidar (such merger, the “Second Merger” and together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Nidar (such company, as the surviving entity of the Second Merger, the “Surviving Company”) surviving the Second Merger; and

(iv)

immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger (the “First Effective Time”), the Class A ordinary shares of Cartica and the Warrants, comprising each issued and outstanding Units sold in Cartica’s IPO, each consisting of one (1) Class A ordinary share and one-half (1/2) of one (1) Warrant, will be, to the extent not previously separated, automatically separated (the “Unit Separation”) in accordance with the terms of the Units of Cartica, and the holder thereof will thereafter hold one (1) Class A ordinary share of Cartica and one-half (1/2) of one (1) Warrant; provided, that no fractional Warrants will be issued in connection with the Unit Separation such that if a holder of such Units would be entitled to receive a fractional Warrant upon the Unit Separation, the number of Warrants to be issued to such holder upon the Unit Separation will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of the Warrants;

Table of Contents

(v)

at the First Effective Time, each Class A ordinary share and Class B ordinary share of Cartica, (together with the Class A ordinary share, the “Cartica Shares”) that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time will automatically be converted into the right to receive one (1) Nidar Ordinary Share (the “Merger Consideration”) and, after giving effect to such automatic conversion, at the First Effective Time and as a result of the First Merger, each Cartica Share will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled by virtue of the First Merger;

(vi)

at the First Effective Time, each Warrant and each Private Placement Warrants of Cartica (together with the Warrants, the “Cartica Warrants”) will be converted into the right to receive a corresponding warrant to purchase Nidar Ordinary Shares (the “Nidar Warrants”);

(vii)

at the First Effective Time, each Class A ordinary share of Cartica that is held by shareholders of Cartica who have validly exercised their redemption right in connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting, issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time will automatically be cancelled and will thereafter represent only the right of the holder thereof to be paid a pro rata share of the aggregate amount payable with respect to all Cartica redemptions related to the Extraordinary General Meeting; and

(viii)

at the First Effective Time, each Cartica Share issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time held by shareholders of Cartica who have validly exercised their right to dissent to the First Merger (the “Dissenting Shares”) will be automatically cancelled and will thereafter represent only the right of the holder thereof to be paid the fair value of such Dissenting Shares and such other rights as are granted by the Cayman Companies Law.

Termination

The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing: (i) by mutual written consent of Cartica and Nidar; (ii) by either Cartica or Nidar, if there is in effect any law or an order or decree issued by a governmental entity, in any case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining, making illegal or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Mergers; (iii) by either Cartica or Nidar, if the Second Merger has not been consummated prior to July 7, 2025; (iv) by either Cartica or Nidar, if certain approvals of Cartica’s shareholders, to the extent required under the Business Combination Agreement, are not obtained as set forth therein; (v) by Cartica, if Nidar has breached any of its covenants or representations and warranties in any material respect and has not cured such breach within the time periods provided for in the Business Combination Agreement; (vi) by Cartica, if there has been a material adverse effect that is continuing and has not been cured within the time periods provided for in the Business Combination Agreement; (vii) by Cartica, if any Nidar shareholder revokes, or seeks to revoke, the unanimous written consent by all Nidar shareholders approving the Company Transaction Proposals (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement); (viii) by Nidar, if Cartica has breached any of its covenants or representations and warranties in any material respect and has not cured such breach within the time periods provided for in the Business Combination Agreement; or (ix) by Nidar, if there has been a SPAC Impairment Effect (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) that is continuing and has not been cured within the time periods provided for in the Business Combination Agreement.

Sponsor Lock-Up and Support Agreement

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor, Cartica and Nidar entered into the Sponsor Lock-Up and Support Agreement, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to, among other things, (i) attend any Cartica shareholder meeting to establish a quorum for the purpose of approving the Cartica transaction proposals; (ii) vote its Cartica Shares in favor of the Cartica transaction proposals, including the approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby; and (iii) vote all Cartica Shares against (A) other than in connection with the Transactions (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), any business combination agreement, merger agreement or merger (other than the Business Combination Agreement and the Mergers), scheme of arrangement, business combination, consolidation, combination, sale of substantial assets, reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of or by Cartica or any public offering of any shares of Cartica or, in case of a public offering only, a newly-formed holding company of Cartica, (B) any SPAC Alternative Transaction Proposal (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), and (C) any amendment of the organizational documents of Cartica or other proposal or transaction involving Cartica, which, in each of cases (A) and (C) of this sentence, would be reasonably likely to in any material respect impede, interfere with, delay or attempt to discourage, frustrate the purposes of, result in a breach by Cartica of, prevent or nullify any provision of the Business Combination Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), the Mergers or any other Transaction or change in any manner the voting rights of any class of Cartica’s share capital.

Pursuant to the Sponsor Lock-Up and Support Agreement, the Sponsor also agreed (i) not to transfer any Nidar Ordinary Shares issued to the Sponsor as Merger Consideration (such Nidar Ordinary Shares, the “Sponsor Locked-Up Shares”) for a period of one (1) year from and after the Closing Date, subject to the exceptions set forth in the Sponsor Lock-Up and Support Agreement, and (ii) that, after the Closing, seventy-five percent (75%) of the Sponsor Locked-Up Shares shall become unvested and subject to forfeiture, only to be vested again if certain Nidar financing and price milestones described more fully in the Sponsor Lock-Up and Support Agreement are achieved, subject to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Sponsor Lock-Up and Support Agreement.

Nidar Shareholder Lock-Up and Support Agreement

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, Nidar, Cartica and the Nidar shareholders entered into the Nidar Shareholder Lock-Up and Support Agreement, pursuant to which the Nidar shareholders agreed to, among other things, (i) attend any Nidar shareholder meeting to establish a quorum; and (ii) vote Pre-Split Shares (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) held or acquired by such Nidar shareholder against (A) other than in connection with the Transactions, any business combination agreement, merger agreement or merger (other than the Business Combination Agreement and the Mergers), scheme of arrangement, business combination, consolidation, combination, sale of substantial assets, reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of or by Nidar or any public offering of any equity securities of Nidar, any of its material subsidiaries, or, in case of a public offering only, a newly-formed holding company of Nidar or such material subsidiaries, (B) any Alternative Transaction Proposal, (C) any amendment of the organizational documents of Nidar or other proposal or transaction involving Nidar or any of its subsidiaries and (D) any proposal or effort to revoke (in whole or in part) any approval set forth in the written resolution pursuant to which the Nidar shareholders, among other things, approved the Business Combination, which, in each of cases (A) and (C) of this sentence, would be reasonably likely to in any material respect impede, interfere with, delay or attempt to discourage, frustrate the purposes of, result in a breach by Nidar of, prevent or nullify any provision of the Business Combination Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement, the Mergers or any other Transaction or change in any manner the voting rights of any class of Nidar’s share capital. In addition, subject to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Nidar Shareholder Lock-Up and Support Agreement, the Nidar shareholders also agreed to not revoke (in whole or in part), or seek to revoke (in whole or in part), the written resolution pursuant to which the Nidar shareholders, among other things, approved the Business Combination without the prior written consent of Cartica. The approvals, agreements and consents described above are subject to certain additional conditions.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our activities from February 3, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2024 were organizational activities, the IPO and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we had a net loss of $3,973,890, which consists of change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $2,148,000 and operating and formation costs of $2,174,582, offset by interest income on cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $348,692.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we had a net income of $3,021,243, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $2,914,130, change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $548,000 and other income attributable to derecognition of deferred underwriting fee allocated to offering costs of $214,220, offset by operating and formation costs of $655,107.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we had a net loss of $7,876,134, which consists of change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $4,225,000 and operating and formation costs of $4,583,133, offset by interest income on cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $931,999.

Table of Contents

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had a net income of $5,085,516, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $5,473,593, change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $548,000 and other income attributable to derecognition of deferred underwriting fee allocated to offering costs of $214,220, offset by operating and formation costs of $1,150,297.

Factors That May Adversely Affect our Results of Operations

Our results of operations and our ability to complete a Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, public health considerations, and geopolitical instability, such as the current conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. We cannot at this time predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete a Business Combination.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On January 7, 2022, we completed the sale of 23,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $230,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 15,900,000 private placement warrants at a purchase price of $1.00 per private placement warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $15,900,000.

In August 2023, we issued the Second Promissory Note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. On February 16, 2024, the Second Promissory Note was amended to increase the principal sum from up to $300,000 to up to $750,000. In April 2024, the Working Capital Note was amended to increase the principal sum from up to $750,000 to up to $1,250,000. On June 24, 2024, the Working Capital Note was further amended to increase the principal sum from $1,250,000 to $1,750,000. The Working Capital Note, as amended, bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination and (b) the date of the Company’s liquidation. As of June 30, 2024, $1,313,500 was drawn and outstanding under terms of the Working Capital Note and further $436,500 may be borrowed under this note.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash used in operating activities was $1,052,233. Net loss of $7,876,134 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $ 931,999 and change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $ 4,225,000. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $3,530,900 of cash for operating activities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $870,139. Net income of $5,085,516 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $5,473,593, change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $548,000 and other income attributable to derecognition of deferred underwriting fee allocated to offering costs of $214,220. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $280,158 of cash for operating activities.

As of June 30, 2024, we had cash held in the Trust Account of $25,486,129 (including $2,197,083 of interest income). We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our share capital 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.

As of June 30, 2024, we had cash of $19,294. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account 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, structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

Table of Contents

In April 2024, we issued the Extension Note to our sponsor, pursuant to which our sponsor agreed to loan us up to $360,000 in connection with the extension of the Company’s termination date from April 7, 2024 to January 7, 2025. We first deposited in its Trust Account $40,000 on April 7, 2024, and has deposited thereafter and will continue to deposit in its Trust Account $40,000 on the 7th day of each subsequent month through January 7, 2025 for the benefits of Public Shares that were not redeemed in connection with the Second Extension that was approved at the Second Extension Meeting. We deposited a total of $120,000 in the Trust Account for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If we complete a Business Combination, we will repay such loaned amounts. 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 $2,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Liquidity and Going Concern

We have until January 7, 2025 to consummate a Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not consummated by the liquidation date, there may be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. Additionally, we don’t have sufficient liquidity to fund the working capital needs of the Company through January 7, 2025 or through twelve months from the issuance of this report. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months from the date of filing of this report. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after January 7, 2025.

Contractual Obligations

On January 4, 2022, we entered into an agreement to pay our sponsor an aggregate $930,000 over eighteen months beginning at the closing of the IPO, for the following administrative support expenses: (i) cash compensation to Mr. Goel, our Chief Executive Officer, in the form of an annual salary of $312,000; (ii) cash compensation to Mr. Coad, our Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in the form of an annual salary of $200,000; and (iii) $9,000 per month for office space, utilities and research, analytical, secretarial and administrative support, which the sponsor was expected to source principally from Cartica Management. In addition, at the closing of the IPO, we paid the sponsor an aggregate amount of $601,167 of which $549,000 represented compensation and bonuses paid to Mr. Goel and Mr. Coad for their services through the closing of the IPO and $51,667 represented a prepayment of administrative support expenses for January 2022, to be amortized over the service period. Upon completion of a Business Combination or our liquidation, we would have ceased paying these amounts (in the case of the officer compensation, after 30 days’ notice).

On May 23, 2023, in connection with the Transfer, the Company and the sponsor entered into the Amended Administrative Support Agreement, pursuant to which the Company has ceased to pay the sponsor for (i) the cash compensation to the Chief Executive Officer in the form of an annual salary of $312,000 and (ii) $9,000 per month for office space, utilities, and research, analytical, secretarial and administrative support. Per the Amended Administrative Support Agreement the sponsor shall (i) pay to the Company’s Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer an annual cash salary of $200,000, in substantially equal periodic installments, and bonuses of up to $150,000; and (ii) make available, or cause to be made available, to the Company, at a location mutually agreed by the Parties (or any successor location of sponsor), office space, utilities, and research, analytical, secretarial and administrative support, as may be reasonably required by the Company. In exchange for these services, the Company shall pay sponsor $16,666.67 per month with the first payment due on or around May 31, 2023 and continuing monthly thereafter until the termination date as defined in the agreement. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred and paid $50,000 and $100,000 of fees for these services, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred $65,333 and $220,333 in fees for these services.

We granted the underwriter a 45-day option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. As of January 7, 2022, the over-allotment was fully exercised.

Table of Contents

The underwriter received a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $4,600,000 in the aggregate (which included an additional $600,000 received pursuant to the full exercise of the over-allotment option), which was paid at closing of the IPO. In addition, the underwriter is entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $8,050,000 in the aggregate (which included an additional $1,050,000 received pursuant to the full exercise of the over-allotment option). The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. On April 14, 2023, the underwriter terminated its association with us and waived any fees and compensation in connection with such association, including its entitlement to the payment of deferred compensation in the amount of $8,050,000 in connection with its role as our underwriter in our IPO.

We entered into a forward purchase agreement with the Cartica Funds, pursuant to which the Cartica Funds agreed to subscribe for an aggregate of up to 3,000,000 forward purchase shares for $10.00 per share, or up to $30,000,000 in the aggregate, in a private placement to close substantially concurrently with the closing of our Business Combination, subject to approval at such time by the Cartica Management investment committee. On October 13, 2022, we were advised by Cartica Management that the Cartica Funds will be liquidated in the first half of 2023. On March 14, 2023, we received a written notice from Cartica Management advising us that the investment committee of Cartica Management had determined that it would not approve the purchase of any forward purchase shares and therefore the Cartica Funds would not purchase any of the Forward Purchase Shares in connection with the Business Combination or otherwise. As a result, we may lack sufficient funds to consummate the Business Combination. On May 23, 2023, in connection with the Transfer, the Company and Cartica Funds entered into an agreement to terminate the rights and obligations of the Company and the Cartica Funds under Forward Purchase Agreement.

In August 2023, we issued a promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 (the “Working Capital Note”). On February 16, 2024, the Working Capital Note was amended to increase the principal sum from up to $300,000 to up to $750,000. In April 2024, the Working Capital Note was amended to increase the principal sum from up to $750,000 to up to $1,250,000. On June 24, 2024, the Working Capital Note was further amended to increase the principal sum from $1,250,000 to $1,750,000 (the “Third Amendment”). The Working Capital Note, as amended, bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination and (b) the date of the Company’s liquidation. $1,313,500 and $250,000 was outstanding under the Working Capital Note as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

In April 2024, we issued the Extension Note to our sponsor, pursuant to which our sponsor agreed to loan us up to $360,000 in connection with the extension of our termination date from April 7, 2024 to January 7, 2025. We first deposited in its Trust Account $40,000 on April 7, 2024, and has deposited thereafter and will continue to deposit in its Trust Account $40,000 on the 7th day of each subsequent month through January 7, 2025 for the benefits of Public Shares that were not redeemed in connection with the Second Extension that was approved at the Second Extension Meeting. The Company has drawn five installments of $40,000 under the terms of this note and deposited them in the Trust Account through the date of this report. We deposited a total of $120,000 in the Trust Account for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if (i) the accounting estimate requires to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time when the accounting estimate was made; and (ii) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material amount on our financial condition or results of operations. We have identified management inputs used in the calculation of Company’s warrant liabilities as critical accounting estimates. There are other items in our condensed financial statements that require estimation but are not deemed to be critical, as defined above.

For a detailed discussion of our significant accounting policies and related judgements, see Note 2– Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Financial Statements included in this report.

Table of Contents

Warrant Liabilities

A critical accounting estimate made in our condensed financial statements is the estimated fair value of our warrant liabilities. The fair value of our financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that we would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, we seek to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

●

Level 3, Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had 27,400,000 warrants issued and outstanding, including 11,500,000 Public warrants classified as Level 1, and 15,900,000 Private warrants classified as Level 3 in the hierarchy of fair value measurements.

Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Our ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of our condensed balance sheets.

Net (Loss) Income Per Ordinary Share

Net (loss) income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Subsequent measurement of the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from (loss) income per ordinary share as the redemption value approximates fair value. We calculate our earnings per share to allocate net income pro rata to Class A and Class B ordinary shares. This presentation contemplates a Business Combination as the most likely outcome, in which case, both classes of ordinary shares share pro rata in the income of our Company.

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt — “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” (Subtopic 470-20) and “Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas and introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Table of Contents

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires disclosure of incremental income tax information within the rate reconciliation and expanded disclosures of income taxes paid, among other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s Management does not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have a material impact on its condensed financial statements and disclosures.

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

Emerging Growth Company Status

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

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 statement with another public company, which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period, difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2024, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and, accordingly, provided reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024 covered by this report on that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

To the knowledge of our management team, there is no material litigation currently pending or contemplated against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such or against any of our property.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

As a smaller reporting company under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to include risk factors in this Report. For additional risks relating to our operations, other than as set forth below, see the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in our (i) Registration Statement, (ii) 2023 Annual Report, annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023, and annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the SEC on March 28, 2022, (iii) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on May 15, 2024, (iv) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2023, as filed with the SEC on November 14, 2023, (v) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2023, as filed with the SEC on August 18, 2023, (vi) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on May 15, 2023, (vii) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2022, as filed with the SEC on November 9, 2022, (viii) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2022, as filed with the SEC on August 10, 2022, (ix) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on May 16, 2022, (x) Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, as filed with the SEC on March 6, 2024, and (xi) Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, as filed with the SEC on June 12, 2023. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risks could arise that may also affect our business or ability to consummate an initial Business Combination. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

For risks related to the Business Combination with Nidar, please see the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed once available.

If we fail to consummate our initial business combination by January 4, 2025, our securities will be suspended from trading on Nasdaq and subject to potential delisting, which may have a material adverse effect on the trading of our securities and our ability to consummate an initial business combination.

Our Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on January 4, 2022, and our IPO was consummated on January 7, 2022. Our securities are currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Pursuant to our Second Charter Amendment, we have until January 7, 2025 (or such shorter period of time as determined by our board) to consummate our initial business combination. Nasdaq’s rules and guidance currently provide that SPACs (such as us) must satisfy certain listing conditions, including that a SPAC must complete one or more business combinations meeting certain conditions within 36 months of the effectiveness of its initial public offering registration statement (the “36-Month Requirement”). If a SPAC does not meet the 36-Month Requirement, it will receive a delisting determination from Nasdaq (the “Staff Delisting Determination”) which, among other things, informs the SPAC that (i) its securities will be suspended as of a date certain; (ii) it has a right to request review of the Staff Delisting Determination by the Panel; and (iii) a timely request for such review will stay the suspension and delisting action pending the issuance of a written decision of the Panel. The Panel may, where it deems appropriate, grant an exception to the continued listing standards for a period not to exceed 180 days from the date of the Staff Delisting Determination. The basis for the Staff Delisting Determination may be cured if, for example, a SPAC completes an initial business combination during the period of the stay.

Table of Contents

On July 8, 2024, Nasdaq filed with the SEC a proposal to change the rules applicable to the foregoing procedures (the “Proposed Nasdaq Rules”) that includes removing the stay referred to above so that a SPAC’s securities will be immediately suspended from trading on Nasdaq through the pendency of the Panel’s review. In addition, under the Proposed Nasdaq Rules, the scope of the Panel’s review would be limited, as the Panel may only reverse a Staff Delisting Determination where it determines that the Staff Delisting Determination was in error and that the SPAC never failed to satisfy the 36-Month Requirement. In such cases, the Panel would not be able to consider facts indicating that the SPAC had regained compliance since the date of the Staff Delisting Determination, nor may the Panel grant an exception allowing the SPAC additional time to regain compliance. If a SPAC completes a business combination after receiving a Staff Delisting Determination and/or demonstrates compliance with all applicable initial listing requirements, the combined company could apply to list its securities on Nasdaq pursuant to the normal application review process. The Proposed Nasdaq Rules contained a list of deficiencies that would immediately result in a Staff Delisting Determination, which includes noncompliance with the 36-Month Requirement.

On July 15, 2024, the SEC issued a release approving the immediate effectiveness of the Proposed Nasdaq Rules. The Proposed Nasdaq Rules will become operative on October 7, 2024.

Accordingly, unless we are able to consummate our initial business combination on or prior to January 7, 2025, our securities will be suspended from trading on Nasdaq and subject to potential delisting. If Nasdaq were to suspend our securities from trading, or delist our securities, our securities could potentially be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

●

our ability to complete an initial business combination with a target company contemplating a Nasdaq listing, as we would be a less attractive acquiror absent a listing on a national exchange;

●

a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

●

reduced liquidity for our securities;

●

a determination that our Class A Ordinary Shares are a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in our Class A 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.

In addition, if our securities are delisted from Nasdaq, offers and sales of our securities by us may be subject to regulation and we may be subject to additional compliance costs in each state in which we offer or sell our securities.

Our public shareholders’ exercise of redemption rights with respect to a large number of Public Shares redeemed during the First Extension and the Second Extension may affect our ability to complete an initial business combination in the most desirable manner that will optimize the capital structure of the combined company, or at all.

Over the past two years, the redemption rate of shares held by public shareholders of SPACs at the time of a shareholder meeting that approves an amendment to memorandum and articles of association of the SPACs or the initial business combination of the SPACs has been very high, thereby increasing the likelihood that we, too, may be subject to significant redemptions that may affect our ability to complete an initial business combination.

In connection with (i) the First Extension, 18,785,585 Public Shares were redeemed at a price per Public Share of approximately $10.70, and (ii) the Second Extension, 1,964,993 Public Shares were redeemed at a price per Public Share of approximately $11.13, thereby reducing the number of outstanding Public Shares to 2,249,422, and reducing the total amount held in the Trust Account to approximately $25.49 million (as of June 30, 2024).

Table of Contents

Due to the high rates of redemptions of Public Shares in connection with shareholder votes on extensions or business combinations of SPACs, we may need to rely upon significant PIPE or other outside financing to provide cash to our post- business combination company. Obtaining financing in connection with initial business combinations of SPACs has in recent times been very difficult, with many financings available only on terms that are onerous to the surviving company of the business combination. The failure to secure additional financing on reasonable terms could have a material adverse effect on the continued development or growth of the target business. None of the Sponsor or our other shareholders is required to provide any financing to us in connection with or after our initial business combination. Raising additional third-party financing may involve dilutive equity issuances or the incurrence of indebtedness at higher than desirable levels or on onerous terms. The above considerations may limit our ability to complete a business combination in the most desirable manner that will optimize the capital structure of the combined company, or at all. If we are unable to complete an initial business combination, our public shareholders may only receive approximately $11.33 per Public Share on the liquidation of our Trust Account, as of June 30, 2024, and our Warrants will expire worthless. In certain circumstances, our public shareholders may receive less than $11.33 per share on the redemption of their Public Shares.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

None.

Use of Proceeds

For a description of the use of proceeds generated in our IPO and private placement, see Part II, Item 2 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on May 16, 2022. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our IPO and private placement as described in the Registration Statement. The specific investments in our Trust Account may change from time to time.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

On April 3, 2024, we held the Second Extension Meeting and our shareholders approved, among other things, the Second Charter Amendment, which extended the date by which we must consummate a Business Combination from April 7, 2024 to January 7, 2025 (or such earlier date as determined by our board). In connection with the vote to approve the Second Charter Amendment, the public shareholders holding 1,964,993 Public Shares properly exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. We paid cash in the aggregate amount of approximately $21.87 million, or approximately $11.13 per share to such redeeming public shareholders in such redemption.
