GLLIW Globalink Investment Inc

Note 1 – Description of Organization and Business Operations and Liquidity

Globalink Investment Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on March 24, 2021. The Company is a blank check company formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”). On July 27, 2022, Globalink Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Globalink, was formed.

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.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through March 31, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation and Initial Public Offering (“IPO”), which is described below and, since the offering, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income earned on investments from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on December 6, 2021. On December 9, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 10,000,000 units (“Units”) at $10.00 per Unit generating gross proceeds of $100,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 517,500 units (“Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to Public Gold Marketing Sdn. Bhd., a Malaysian private limited company, a related party generating gross proceeds of $5,175,000, which is described in Note 4.

Additionally with the closing of the IPO, the Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,500,000 Units to cover over-allotment. On December 13, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised the option and purchased 1,500,000 additional Units (the “Over-allotment Units”), generating additional gross proceeds of $15,000,000.

Simultaneously with the exercise of the over-allotment, the Company consummated a private sale of an additional 52,500 Private Placement Units to Public Gold Marketing Sdn. Bhd. at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating additional gross proceeds of $525,000. Since the underwriters’ over-allotment was exercised in full, the sponsor did not forfeit any Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5).

Offering costs for the IPO and the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option amounted to $6,887,896, consisting of $2,300,000 of underwriting fees, $4,025,000 of deferred underwriting fees payable (which are held in the Trust Account (defined below)) and $562,896 of other costs. As described in Note 6, the $4,025,000 of deferred underwriting fee payable is contingent upon the consummation of a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Following the closing of the IPO, $116,725,000 ($10.15 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the Private Placement Units were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and were invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act.

To mitigate the risk of 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), in July 2023, the Company instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee of the Trust Account (the “Trustee” or “Continental”), to liquidate the U.S. government securities or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash (which may include demand deposit accounts) until the earlier of consummation of our Business Combination or liquidation. Furthermore, such cash is held in bank accounts, which exceed federally insured limits as guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”).

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account excluding the deferred underwriting discounts and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

The Company will provide the holders (the “Public Stockholders”) of the outstanding shares of common stock included in the Units, or the Public Shares with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The Public Stockholders 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 $10.15 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest then in the Trust Account, net of taxes payable). There will be no redemption rights 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 stockholder 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 certificate of incorporation (as amended and restated and may be further amended and restated from time to time, the “Certificate of Incorporation”). In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require the Public Shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Given that the Public Shares will be issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., public warrants and rights), the initial carrying value of common stock classified as temporary equity will be the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. The Public 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. While redemptions cannot cause the Company’s net tangible assets to fall below $5,000,001, the Public Shares are redeemable and are classified as such on the consolidated balance sheets until such date that a redemption event takes place.

Redemptions of the Company’s Public Shares may be subject to the satisfaction of conditions, including minimum cash conditions, pursuant to an agreement relating to the Company’s Business Combination. If the Company seeks stockholder approval of the Business Combination, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination, or such other vote as required by law or stock exchange rule. If a stockholder vote is not required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Certificate of Incorporation, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder 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 stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the shares of common stock sold in the IPO, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Company’s sponsor, officers and directors (the “Initial Stockholders”) have agreed not to propose an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of common stock in conjunction with any such amendment.

The Company originally had until March 9, 2023, 15 months from the closing of the IPO to complete a Business Combination. On March 6, 2023, the Company held a special meeting (the “March 2023 Special Meeting”), during which the stockholders of the Company approved a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated certified articles of incorporation which included extending the time in which the Company must complete a Business Combination (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”) and a proposal to amend the Company’s investment management trust agreement, dated as of December 6, 2021 (the “Trust Agreement”), by and between the Company and Continental (the “Trust Amendment Proposal”). The Company will have the option of two (2) three-months extensions, followed by three (3) one-month extensions, or until December 9, 2023, if all extensions are exercised. The Company exercised the option for two three-month extensions and as a result the Company has deposited a total of $780,000, or $390,000 for each three-month extension, into the Trust Account and had until September 9, 2023 to complete its Business Combination, which was funded by a promissory note with Public Gold Marketing Sdn. Bhd. which has a current balance of $1,757,255. On September 9, 2023, October 4, 2023, and October 31, 2023, the Company deposited $130,000 each time into the Trust Account, representing $0.0275 per public share, which further extended the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination to December 9, 2023 (“Combination Period”). The September 9, 2023, October 9, 2023 and November 1, 2023 payments were funded by the advance of $390,000 provided by an affiliate of GL Sponsor, LLC, the Company’s sponsor (the “sponsor”). The Company has exhausted the five extensions permitted under the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as first amended. If the Company does not complete its Business Combination or exercise an additional extension, 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 us to pay the Company’s franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. 

Through a total of five elections from March 2023 to December 2023, Globalink elected to extend the Termination Date (as defined below) to December 9, 2023 and deposited an aggregate of US$1.17 million into the trust account for its public stockholders. Globalink elected all of the five extensions permitted under the Certificate of Incorporation.

On March 6, 2023, in connection with the approval of the proposals presented at the March 2023 Special Meeting which extended the time in which the Company must complete a Business Combination, holders of 6,756,695 of the Company’s shares of common stock exercised their right to redeem those shares for cash at an approximate price of $10.35 per share, for an aggregate of approximately $69.92 million.

On October 16, 2023, the Company received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“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”). The Notice is only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq Global Market. The Notice stated that the Company had 45 calendar days, or until November 30, 2023, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Total Holders Rule. On January 29, 2024, the Company submitted an application to phase-down from The Nasdaq Global Market to The Nasdaq Capital Market. On March 6, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff granting the Company’s request for transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company’s securities were transferred to The Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on March 12, 2024. In connection with the approval of the phase-down application, the staff indicated that the Company’s deficiency with the Minimum Total Holders Rule was cured and the matter was closed.

On November 28, 2023, the Company held a special meeting of its stockholders (the “November 2023 Special Meeting”). At the November 2023 Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders 1) approved an amendment of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”), changing the structure and cost of the Company’s right to extend the date (the “Termination Date”) by which the Company must (i) consummate a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses, (ii) cease its operations if it fails to complete such business combination, and (iii) redeem or repurchase 100% of the Company’s outstanding public shares of common stock included as part of the units sold in the Company’s IPO that closed on December 9, 2021, which was December 9, 2023 at the time of the November 2023 Special Meeting unless extended. The Charter Amendment allows the Company to extend the Termination Date by up to twelve (12) monthly extensions, to December 9, 2024 (each of which is referred to as an “Extension”, and such later date, the “Extended Deadline”). To obtain each Extension, the Company, its sponsor or any of their affiliates or designees must deposit into the Company’s Trust Account with Continental by the deadline applicable prior to such Extension $60,000 for each monthly Extension; 2) approved the proposal (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”) to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to extend the date by which the Company must (i) consummate a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses, (ii) cease its operations if it fails to complete such business combination, and (iii) redeem or repurchase 100% of the Company’s outstanding public shares of common stock included as part of the units sold in the Company’s IPO that was consummated on December 9, 2021, from December 9, 2023 to, if the Company elects to extend the date to consummate a business combination, for up to twelve monthly Extensions, December 9, 2024, unless the closing of the Company’s initial business combination shall have occurred; 3) approved the proposal to amend the Company’s Trust Agreement with Continental (the “Trust Amendment Proposal”), pursuant to which the Company’s Trust Agreement with Continental be amended to extend the time for the Company to complete its initial business combination under the Trust Agreement from (x) December 9, 2023, to (y) up to December 9, 2024, if the Company elects to extend the date to consummate a business combination, for up to twelve monthly Extensions, by depositing into the Trust Account $60,000 for each one-month Extension from December 9, 2023 to December 9, 2024, unless the closing of the Company’s initial business combination shall have occurred; and 4) approved the proposal to re-elect Kian Huat Lai as Class I director of the Company, until the annual meeting of the Company to be held in 2026 or until his successor is appointed and qualified.

On November 28, 2023, the stockholders of the Company approved a proposal to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, allowing the Company to the Extended Deadline from December 9, 2023 to up to December 9, 2024 through monthly Extensions. To obtain each Extension, the Company, its sponsor or any of their affiliates or designees must deposit into the Company’s trust account with Continental by the deadline applicable prior to such Extension, $60,000 for each Extension. On November 28, 2023, the stockholders of the Company also approved a proposal to amend the Company’s Trust Agreement (as defined above), by and between the Company and Continental. In connection with the approval of the proposals presented at the special meeting held on November 28, 2023, holders of 2,180,738 shares of the Company’s common stock exercised their right to redeem those shares for cash at an approximate price of $10.82 per share, for an aggregate of approximately $23.60 million.

As of the date of this report, the Company has extended the Termination Date six times under its Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (or eleven times since the IPO), and has until June 9, 2024 to complete its initial business combination. The Company may continue to extend the Termination Date to up to December 9, 2024 through monthly Extensions.

The Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Stockholders should acquire any Public Shares in or after the IPO, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to deferred underwriting discounts (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 residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.15 per share held in the Trust Account. 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 vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Business Combination

On August 3, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Tomorrow Crypto Group Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Tomorrow Crypto”), Globalink Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Globalink (“Merger Sub”), GL Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

In accordance with the termination provisions under Section 10.1 of the Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement was terminated on March 8, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement Termination Date”). In conjunction with the termination of the Merger Agreement, the Additional Agreements (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (including the Support Agreements) were also terminated in accordance with their respective terms as of March 8, 2023, the Merger Agreement Termination Date.

On January 30, 2024, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Alps Global Holding Berhad, a Malaysian company (“Alps”), GL Sponsor LLC and Dr. Tham Seng Kong, an individual. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between Globalink and Alps through the merger of a to be incorporated subsidiary of Globalink in the Cayman Islands (the “Merger Sub”) with and into Alps, with Alps surviving the merger (the “Surviving Company”) as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Globalink (the “Merger”, and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”). After the date of the Merger Agreement and prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Closing”), a company formed under the laws of the Cayman Islands will be incorporated (“Cayman Holdco”), whereupon it is envisaged that Alps will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Cayman Holdco.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company continues to evaluate the impact of increases in inflation and rising interest rates, financial market instability, including the recent bank failures, the potential government shutdown, the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and certain geopolitical events, including the wars in Ukraine and the surrounding region and between Israel and Hamas. The Company has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the risks and uncertainties related to or resulting from these events could have a negative effect on its financial position, results of operations and/or ability to complete an initial Business Combination, the Company cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact the Company’s business and its ability to complete an initial Business Combination.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its stockholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.

Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $6,878 of cash available to meet working capital needs and a working capital deficit of approximately $4.71 million.

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, selecting the target business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. The Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and the 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 Business Combination is not consummated, the Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and its 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.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASU 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company currently has until June 9, 2024 to consummate a business combination, or up to December 9, 2024 if the time to complete the initial business combination is extended as described herein. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a business combination by this time. If a business combination is not consummated by this date and an extension is not requested by the sponsor, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the mandatory liquidation, should a business combination not occur, and an extension is not requested by the sponsor, and potential subsequent dissolution as well as liquidity condition noted above raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after June 9, 2024 (or up to December 9, 2024 if the time to complete the initial business combination is extended as described herein). The Company intends to complete a business combination before the mandatory liquidation date.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 3 — Initial Public Offering and Over-allotment

Pursuant to the IPO and the over-allotment in December 2021, the Company sold 11,500,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock, one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant” and collectively, the “Public Warrants”) and one right (each a “Public Right” and collectively, the “Public Rights”). Each Public Warrant entitles its holder to purchase one-half (1/2) of one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Each Public Right entitles the holder to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of common stock at the closing of a Business Combination (see Note 8).

Note 4 — Private Placement

On December 9, 2021 and December 13, 2021, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO and the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option, the Company consummated the issuance and sale (“Private Placement”) of 570,000 Private Placement Units in a private placement transaction at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $5,700,000. Each whole Private Placement Unit consists of one share, one warrant (each a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively the “Private Placement Warrants”) and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of common stock at the closing of a Business Combination. Each whole Private Placement Warrant will be exercisable to purchase one-half of one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement Units were added to the proceeds from the IPO to be held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Placement Units and all underlying securities will be worthless.

Note 5 — Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On August 19, 2021, the Company’s sponsor purchased 2,875,000 shares (the “Founder Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001, for an aggregate price of $25,000. The Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in Note 8.

The Initial Stockholders have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, that 50% of these shares will not be transferred, assigned, sold or released from escrow until the earlier of six months after the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination and the date on which the closing price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after its initial Business Combination and the remaining 50% of the Founder Shares will not be transferred, assigned, sold or released from escrow until six months after the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to the Company’s initial Business Combination, the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s sponsor or an affiliate of the sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company will repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. 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. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into units of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no Working Capital Loans outstanding.

The Company entered into promissory notes with Public Gold Marketing Sdn. Bhd., which is considered a related party due to a familial relationship between the controlling member of the sponsor and a 95% shareholder of Public Gold Marketing Sdn. Bhd. The promissory notes bear an interest of 6% per annum and repayable upon consummation of an initial Business Combination (Note 7).

Support Services

The Company has entered into an administrative services agreement pursuant to which the Company will pay its sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. On September 30, 2023, the Company terminated the administrative services agreement. As a result, the Company will no longer be required to pay the sponsor $10,000 monthly. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $217,000 had been accrued under this arrangement and shown under “Due to related parties” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Advances

On each of September 5, 2023, September 29, 2023 and November 7, 2023, an affiliate of the Company’s sponsor advanced $130,000 to the Company, for a total advance of $390,000. The $390,000 advance to fund trust extension deposits is reflected in “Due to related parties” on the consolidated balance sheets.

Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Units and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any, will be entitled to registration rights (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion of such shares into shares of common stock) pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on the date of the prospectus for the IPO. These holders are entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until the termination of the applicable lock-up period for the securities to be registered. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit on the offering including the Units issued with the underwriter’s exercise of their over-allotment option, or $2,300,000 in the aggregate at the closing of the IPO. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to deferred underwriting discounts of $0.35 per unit, or $4,025,000 from the closing of the IPO and the exercise of the over-allotment option. The deferred discounts will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely if the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Note 8 — Stockholders’ Deficit

Common stock

The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 3,445,000 (excluding 2,562,567 shares of common stock subject to possible redemption) shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

Warrants:

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had 11,500,000 Public Warrants and 570,000 Private Placement Warrants outstanding.

The Public Warrants are accounted for as equity instruments in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of the completion of an initial Business Combination and will expire five years after the completion of an initial Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption. No Public Warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to such shares of common stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective within a specified period following the consummation of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Redemption of warrants when the price per common stock equals or exceeds $16.50

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the private placement warrants):

The Company will not redeem the warrants as described above unless an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of common stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if the Company is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement.

 The Private Placement Warrants are substantially in the same form as the Public Warrants, except they (i) will be exercisable either for cash or on a cashless basis at the holder’s option pursuant and (ii) will not be redeemable by the Company, in either case as long as the Private Placement Warrants are held by the initial purchasers or any of their permitted transferees (as prescribed in the Subscription Agreement, dated December 6, 2021, by and between the Company and Public Gold Marketing Sdn. Bhd.). Once a Private Placement Warrant is transferred to a holder other than a permitted transferee, it shall be treated as a Public Warrant for all purposes. Due to these terms the Private Warrants are required to be liability classified.

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of shares of common stock at a price below their respective exercise prices. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of the warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

In addition, if the Company issues additional shares of common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.50 per share of common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors, and in the case of any such issuance to the initial stockholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by them prior to such issuance), (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 a Business Combination on the date of the consummation of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.50 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 165% of the greater of (i) the Market Value or (ii) the price at which the Company issues the additional common stock or equity-linked securities.

Rights

Except in cases where the Company is not the surviving company in a Business Combination, each holder of a Public Right will automatically receive one-tenth of one share of common stock upon consummation of a Business Combination, even if the holder of a Public Right converted all shares held by him, her or it in connection with a Business Combination or an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with respect to its pre-business combination activities. In the event that the Company will not be the surviving company upon completion of a Business Combination, each holder of a Public Right will be required to affirmatively convert his, her or its rights in order to receive the one-tenth of a share underlying each Public Right upon consummation of the Business Combination.

The Company will not issue fractional shares in connection with an exchange of Public Rights. Fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law. As a result, the holders of the Public Rights must hold rights in multiples of 10 in order to receive shares for all of the holders’ rights upon closing of a Business Combination.

Note 9 — Fair Value Measurements

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: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 the assets held in the Trust Account were held in cash.

The Private Placement Warrants were valued using a binomial lattice model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. One of the more significant inputs is the implied volatility, which is based on the observed prices of the Company’s common stock and publicly-traded warrants. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of Warrant Liabilities – Private Warrants were determined based on the following significant inputs and are expressed on the basis of each being exercisable for a one-half of one share of common stock:

Note 10 — Subsequent Events

Based upon this review the Company did not identify any subsequent events, other than the below, that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.
