Note 1—Description of Organization, Business Operations and Liquidity Including Subsequent Event Organization and General: Global Technology Acquisition Corp. I (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company on February 9, 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 an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the “Securities Act,” as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). At September 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from February 9, 2021 (inception) to September 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Public Offering”) described below and, subsequent to the Public Offering, identifying and completing an initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments and cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Public Offering. Sponsor and Public Offering: The Company’s sponsor is Global Technology Acquisition I Sponsor LP, an exempted limited liability partnership registered in the Cayman Islands (the “Sponsor”). The Company intends to finance a Business Combination with proceeds from the $200,000,000 Public Offering (Note 3) and a $10,500,000 private placement (the “Private Placement”) (Note 4), net of expenses of the offering and working capital to be available to the Company as well as subsequent redemptions of shares by shareholders (see below). Upon the closing of the Public Offering and the Private Placement on October 25, 2021, $204,000,000 was deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and as described further below, on April 14, 2023 a total of 167 Class A ordinary share shareholders elected to redeem an aggregate of 17,910,004 Class A ordinary shares, representing approximately 89.55% of the Class A ordinary shares then issued and outstanding, for an aggregate of approximately $187,475,000 in cash, which was paid on or around April 21, 2023. Accordingly, approximately $22,628,000 remained in the Trust Account as of September 30, 2023. Extension of Time to Complete Business Combination, Related Redemptions of Class A Ordinary Shares and Related Matters: On April 14, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”), at which holders of 21,033,957 Ordinary Shares were present in person or by proxy (the “Voting Shareholders”), representing approximately 84.14% of the voting power of the 25,000,000 issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting at the close of business on March 7, 2023, which was the record date (the “Record Date”) for the Extraordinary General Meeting. At the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Voting Shareholders approved, by special resolution, a proposal to amend and restate the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which the Company must (1) consummate an initial Business Combination, (2) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete an initial Business Combination, and (3) redeem all of the Class A ordinary shares, included as part of the Units sold in the Public Offering from April 25, 2023 to April 25, 2024 or to October 25, 2024 at the election of the Company in two separate three-month extensions, in April 2024 and July 2024, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including the deposit by the Sponsor of $0.10 per Unit in each case (or up to approximately $209,000 after giving effect to the Company’s shareholders’ redemptions made in connection with the foregoing proposal) for each three-month extension, into the Trust Account (the “Extension” and such proposal, the “Extension Proposal”). On April 14, 2023, to effectuate the Extension, the Company filed with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies the Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company (the “Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”). In connection with the Extension, a total of 167 Class A ordinary share shareholders elected to redeem an aggregate of 17,910,004 Class A ordinary shares, representing approximately 89.55% of the Class A ordinary shares then issued and outstanding, for an aggregate of approximately $187,475,000 in cash, which was paid on or around April 21, 2023. The funds in the Trust Account are invested only in cash or U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of one hundred and eighty-five (185) days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 which invest only in direct U.S. government obligations. Funds will remain in the Trust Account until the earlier of (i) the consummation of its initial Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below. The remaining funds outside the Trust Account may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisition targets and continuing general and administrative expenses. As discussed further in Note 1—Description of Organization, Business Operations and Liquidity—Extension of Time to Complete Business Combination, Related Redemptions of Class A Ordinary Shares and Related Matters, on April 14, 2023, the Company’s shareholders approved the Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (as defined below) which provides that, other than the withdrawal of interest to pay tax obligations, if any, less up to $100,000 interest to pay dissolution expenses, none of the funds held in trust will be released until the earliest of: (a) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any Class A ordinary shares included in the Units (as defined below) sold in the Public Offering (the “Public Shares”) properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination prior to April 25, 2024 (or up to October 25, 2024 in two separate three-month extensions subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including the deposit of $0.10 per Unit in each case (or up to approximately $209,000 after giving effect to the Company’s shareholders’ redemptions made in connection with the Extension Proposal) for each three-month extension, into the Trust Account, or as extended by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Completion Window”)) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity, and (c) the redemption of the Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Completion Window. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s Class A ordinary share shareholders. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination with (or acquisition of) a Target Business. As used herein, “Target Business” is one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (less any taxes payable on interest earned) at the time of signing a definitive agreement in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for a Business Combination, will either (i) seek shareholder approval of the Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which shareholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest but less taxes payable and amounts released for taxes, or (ii) provide shareholders with the opportunity to have their shares redeemed by the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a shareholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to commencement of the tender offer, including interest but less taxes payable and amounts released to the Company for working capital. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of the Business Combination or will allow shareholders to sell their shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek shareholder approval unless a vote is required by the rules of the NASDAQ Global Market. If the Company seeks shareholder approval, it will complete its Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. However, in no event will the Company redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets (total assets less intangible assets and liabilities) to be less than $5,000,001 upon consummation of a Business Combination. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its Public Shares and the related Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Business Combination. If the Company holds a shareholder vote or there is a tender offer for shares in connection with a Business Combination, a holder of Public Shares will have the right to redeem its shares for an amount in cash equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest but less taxes payable and amounts released to the Company for working capital. As a result, such Class A ordinary shares are recorded at redemption amount and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Public Offering, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Accounting Standards Board Codification (“FASB ASC 480”), “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” The amount in the Trust Account, upon closing of the Public Offering on October 25, 2021, was initially $10.20 per Public Share ($204,000,000 held in the Trust Account divided by 20,000,000 Class A ordinary shares). On April 14, 2023, in connection with the amendment of the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the Company directed the Trust Account trustee to deliver approximately $187,475,000 to the shareholders that requested redemption as discussed further in Note 1—Description of Organization, Business Operations and Liquidity—Extension of Time to Complete Business Combination, Related Redemptions of Class A Ordinary Shares and Related Matters. As amended, the Company will have until April 25, 2024, (or until October 25, 2024, as described above) to complete its initial Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within this period of time, it shall (i) cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares for a per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account, including interest, but less taxes payable and amounts released to the Company for working capital (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses) and (iii) as promptly as possible following such redemption, dissolve and liquidate the balance of the Company’s net assets to its creditors and remaining shareholders, as part of its plan of dissolution and liquidation. The initial shareholders have entered into letter agreements with us, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to participate in any redemption with respect to their initial shares; however, if the initial shareholders or any of the Company’s officers, directors or affiliates acquire Class A ordinary shares in or after the Public Offering, they will be entitled to a pro rata share of the Trust Account upon the Company’s redemption or liquidation in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Completion Window. 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 less than the price per Unit in the Public Offering. COVID-19 — Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have an effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company and/or a target company’s financial position and results of its operations, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these condensed financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Ongoing Conflicts — The impact of ongoing and evolving military conflicts, including for example between Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Gaza, including sanctions and countermeasures, on domestic and global economic and geopolitical conditions in general is not determinable as of the date of these condensed financial statements. Nasdaq Listing: On June 28, 2023, the Company received a written notice (the “First Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Nasdaq Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for 30 consecutive business days, the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was below the minimum of $50 million required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “Market Value Standard”). The Nasdaq Staff also noted that the Company does not meet the requirements under Nasdaq Listing Rules 5450(b)(1)(A) (Equity Standard) and 5450(b)(3)(A) (Total Assets/Total Revenue Standard). An indicator is displayed with quotation information related to the Company’s securities on NASDAQ.com and NSDAQTrader.com and may be displayed by other third party providers of market data information, however the First Notice does not impact the listing of the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq Global Market at this time. The First Notice provided that, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C) (the “Compliance Period Rule”), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days from the date of the First Notice, or until December 26, 2023 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Market Value Standard. During this period, the Company’s securities will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market. If at any time before the Compliance Date the Company’s MVLS closes at or above $50 million for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days as required under the Compliance Period Rule, the Nasdaq Staff will provide written notification to the Company that it has regained compliance with the Market Value Standard and will close the matter (unless the Nasdaq Staff exercises its discretion to extend this 10 pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H)). The Company intends to monitor its MVLS between now and the Compliance Date, and may, if appropriate, evaluate available options to resolve the deficiency under the Market Value Standard and regain compliance with the Market Value Standard. Additionally, the Company may consider applying to transfer the listing of its securities to the Nasdaq Capital Market (provided that it then satisfies the requirements for continued listing on that market). However, there can be no assurance that the company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with the Market Value Standard. If the Company does not regain compliance with the Market Value Standard by the Compliance Date, the Nasdaq Staff will provide a written notification to the Company that its securities are subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the Nasdaq Staff’s delisting determination to a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). However, there can be no assurance that, if the Company receives a delisting notice and appeals the delisting determination by the Nasdaq Staff to the Panel, such appeal would be successful. Subsequent to September 30, 2023, on October 9, 2023, the Company received a written notice (the “Second Notice”) from the Nasdaq staff notifying the Company that the Company was not in compliance with Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) (the “Minimum Public Holders Rule”), which requires the Company to maintain a minimum of 400 public holders for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. The Notice is only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq Global Market. The Second Notice states that the Company has 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule. The Company intends to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule within the required timeframe (the “Plan”). Additionally, the Company may consider applying to transfer the listing of its securities to the Nasdaq Capital Market (provided that it then satisfies the requirements for continued listing on that market). If Nasdaq accepts the Plan, Nasdaq may grant the Company an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Second Notice to evidence compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule. If Nasdaq does not accept the Plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal the decision to the Panel. There can be no assurance that Nasdaq will accept the Plan, that any appeal to the Panel would be successful if Nasdaq does not accept the Plan, or that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule. Liquidity and Going Concern: In connection with the assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern,” the Company has until April 25, 2024 (or until October 25, 2024, as described above) to consummate an initial Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate an initial Business Combination by this time. If an initial Business Combination cannot be completed prior to April 25, 2024, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company unless, prior to such date, the Company receives an extension approval from its shareholders or elects to extend the date on which an initial Business Combination must be consummated (the Company may extend the date on which an initial Business Combination must be consummated to October 25, 2024 in two separate three-month extensions subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including the deposit of $0.10 per Unit in each case (or up to approximately $209,000 after giving effect to the Company’s shareholders’ redemptions made in connection with the Extension Proposal) for each three-month extension). Further, as shown in the accompanying condensed financial statements, the Company had approximately $147,000 in cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2023 and negative cash flows from operations of approximately $597,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The Company also has credit available from its Sponsor of up to $1,500,000 in working capital loans as described in Note 5. If the Company were to extend the April 25, 2024 date to October 25, 2024, the Company would have to make extension payments aggregating approximately $418,000 for two three-month extensions. The Company may not have sufficient funds, or funds available, at September 30, 2023 to enable it to sustain operations for a period of at least one year after the issuance date of these condensed financial statements. Management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date these condensed financial statements are released. The Company intends to address this by completing a Business Combination within the proscribed timeframe, however there is no assurance that this can be done. The condensed interim financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
