(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND

Zalatoris II Acquisition Corp., formerly XPAC Acquisition Corp., (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on March 11, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, amalgamation, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with 1one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).

The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2021,2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from March 11, 2021 (inception) through JuneSeptember 30, 20212023 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”)., and since the Initial Public Offering, the search for a target for its Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on July 29, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On August 3, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 Units (as defined below) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 4,000,000 Private Warrants (the “Private Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Warrant in a private placement to XPAC Sponsor, LLC (the “Former Sponsor”) generating proceeds of $6,000,000 from the sale of the Private Warrants, which is discussed in Note 4.

The Company had granted the underwriter in the Initial Public Offering (the “Underwriter”) a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On August 16, 2021, the underwriter partially exercised the over-allotment option and on August 19, 2021, purchased an additional 1,961,131 Units from the Company (the “Over-Allotment Units”), generating gross proceeds of $19,611,310. Simultaneously with the closing of the exercise of the over-allotment option, the Company consummated the sale of 261,485 additional Private Warrants at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Warrant in a private placement to the Former Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $392,228. The remainder of the over-allotment option expired unexercised.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, 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. successfully by the termination date (as defined below).

The Company must complete a Business Combination with one or more operating businesses or assets that together have an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the Company’s signing a definitive agreement in connection with its initial Business Combination.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND (Cont.)

The Company will only proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by applicable law or stock exchange rules and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amendedamended and Restated Certificaterestated memorandum and articles of Association (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Association”),association, 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, shareholder approval of the transaction is required by applicable law or stock exchange rules, 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 its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each public shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction or do not vote at all.

Notwithstanding the above, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amendedamended and Restated Certificaterestated memorandum and articles of Incorporationassociation provides 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% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to its Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amendedamended and Restated Certificaterestated memorandum and articles of Incorporationassociation (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders rights or pre-initial business combinationBusiness Combination activity, unless the Company provides the public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.


The Company will have until 24up to 36 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to complete a Business Combination (i.e., August 3, 2024) (the “Termination Date”) (subject to any extension in the amount of time that the Company has to consummate a Business Combination beyond 36 months as a result of a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association) (the “Combination Period”). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, originally offered together with Public Warrants (as defined in “Note 3”) as Units in the Initial Public Offering, 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 up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then 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.

Table of Contents

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND (Cont.)

The Sponsor has agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor acquires additional Public Shares, in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriter has agreed to waive itits right to its deferred underwriting commission (see Note 8) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination PeriodPeriod. The underwriter formally waived such right in July 2023 and inas such event, suchthe 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 the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).

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 for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (1) $10.00 per Public Share or (2) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay franchise and income taxes. This liability will not apply with respect to claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except 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.

Going Concern Consideration

Change in Sponsor

On July 10, 2023, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sponsor Handover Agreement (the “Purchase and Sponsor Handover Agreement”) with J. Streicher Holdings, LLC, (the “Sponsor”), and Former Sponsor, pursuant to which, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, (i) the Former Sponsor sold, and the Sponsor purchased, 4,400,283 Class B ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Founder Shares”), and 4,261,485 Private Warrants to acquire 4,261,485 Public Shares of the Company held by the Sponsor, for a total purchase price of $250,000, and (ii) the Sponsor became the Sponsor of the Company (together, the “Sponsor Handover”).

Pursuant to the Amendment, the parties thereto agreed that, notwithstanding any other provision of the Letter Agreement, the Transfer of Founder Shares or Private Warrants, directly or indirectly, to the Sponsor or its affiliates shall not be restricted by the Letter Agreement (each of the foregoing capitalized terms not defined herein having the meaning given to such terms in the Amendment).

Joinder to Letter Agreement

On July 27, 2023, the Company, the Former Sponsor and the Sponsor entered into a joinder (the “Joinder”) to the Letter Agreement.

Pursuant to the Joinder, the Sponsor agreed, with effect from the date of the Joinder, to join as a party to the Letter Agreement and assume the obligations of the Former Sponsor under the Letter Agreement as if the Sponsor had been named as the Former Sponsor in the Letter Agreement.

Waiver to Promissory Note

On July 27, 2023, the Former Sponsor and the Company entered into a waiver (the “Promissory Note Waiver”) to that certain Promissory Note, dated March 19, 2021, by and between the Former Sponsor and the Company (the “Promissory Note”).

Pursuant to the Promissory Note Waiver, the Former Sponsor irrevocably and unconditionally waived its right to receive any payment from the Company of the principal balance of, and any other amounts payable under, the Promissory Note.

The balance of the Promissory Note was comprised of Company expenditures for which the Former Sponsor paid previously. Pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement signed May 16, 2023 (defined and discussed in Note 5), these expenses were subject to reimbursement and as such have been accounted for as additional paid-in capital as of June 30, 2021,2023.


Amendment to Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association

On July 27, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Company (the “Shareholder Meeting”). The proposals to be voted upon by the shareholders of the Company were described in the Company’s proxy statement dated July 10, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement”) that was mailed to the shareholders of the Company. In the Shareholder Meeting, shareholders of the Company approved each of the following proposals: (i) Proposal No. 1 – The Extension Amendment Proposal (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”); (ii) Proposal No. 2 – The Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal (the “Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal”); (iii) Proposal No. 3 – The Name Change Amendment Proposal (the “Name Change Amendment Proposal”); and (iv) Proposal No. 4 – The Letter Agreement Amendment Proposal (the “Letter Agreement Amendment Proposal”), each proposal as further described below and more fully described in the Proxy Statement.

The Company’s shareholders’ approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal allows the Company to extend the date (the “Termination Date”) by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination from August 3, 2023 (the date which is 24 months from the closing date of the Company’s Initial Public Offering (the “Original Termination Date”) on a monthly basis for up to twelve times by an additional one month each time after the Original Termination Date, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors up to August 3, 2024 (the date which is 36 months from the closing date of the IPO), or a total of up to twelve months after the Original Termination Date, unless the closing of a Business Combination shall have occurred prior thereto or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors.

In connection with the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal in the Shareholder Meeting held on July 27, 2023, holders of 15,446,457 Class A Ordinary Shares properly exercised their right to redeem their Public Shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.41 per Class A Ordinary Share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $160,732,917 (the “Redemptions”). After the satisfaction of the Redemptions, the balance in the Trust Account was approximately $67,790,468. Prior to the Redemptions, the Company had $021,961,131 Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding. Following the Redemptions, 6,514,674 Class A Ordinary Shares remain outstanding.

Under Cayman Islands law, the amendments to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Memorandum and Articles of Association”) took effect upon approval of each of the relevant proposals approved in the Shareholder Meeting, changing the name of the Company from “XPAC Acquisition Corp.” to “Zalatoris II Acquisition Corp.” and replacing each reference to “XPAC Acquisition Corp.” with “Zalatoris II Acquisition Corp.”

Going Concern Consideration

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had no cash and working capital deficiencydeficit of $371,147.$247,481. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financingacquisition plans, and the Company expects to incur significant costs in connection with its extraordinary general meeting and its continued acquisition plans. In order to meet the Company’s financial needs after September 30, 2023, the Company’s Sponsor or its affiliates can, but are not obligated to, provide funding through Working Capital Loans (as defined below) (Note 5). 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 that the financial statements are issued. There is no assurance that theThe Company’s plan to consummate a Business Combination will be successful or successful within the Combination Window. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

If the Company is not able to consummate a Business Combination before August 3, 2024, the Company will commence an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after August 3, 2024 or, any accelerated liquidation date that may be approved by the shareholders of the Company in an extraordinary general meeting.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia-Ukraine war and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus and war could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations close of the Initial Public Offering, and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying auditedunaudited condensed financial statements are presentedhave been prepared in in conformityaccordance 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 auditedunaudited 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 periodperiods presented. The results for the period for the period ended JuneSeptember 30, 20212023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 20212023 or for any future interim 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 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 statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Table of Contents

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Use of Estimates (Cont.)

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.


Income taxesTaxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under the asset and liability method, as required by this accounting standard, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to the period when assets are realized or liabilities are settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the operation of statement in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. NaNNo amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021.2023. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the period presented.

Deferred

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities,held in the Trust Account which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

The Company applies ASC 820, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.


Level 1 — Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities.

Warrant LiabilityLiabilities

The Company accounts for warrants for the Company’s ordinary shares that are not indexed to its own shares as liabilities at fair value on the balance sheet. The warrants are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other income (expense), net on the statement of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the liabilityliabilities for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the ordinary share warrants. At that time, the portion of the warrant liabilityliabilities related to the ordinary share warrants will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

Related Parties

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

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 had cash of $0 and $44,659 and no cash equivalents as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021.2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Investments Held in Trust Account

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $68,616,837 and $222,726,270, respectively, held in the Trust Account was held in money market funds, which are invested in U.S. Treasury securities. The investments held in the Trust Account are presented at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains or losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in gains (losses) on investments held in the Trust Account on the accompanying statement of operations. The estimated fair value of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.


Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholder’s equity. The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholder’s equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the remeasurement from initial book value to redemption amount. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

The year to date activity and balances as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, for the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the balance sheet is reconciled in the following table:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The new guidance eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted EPS computation. This guidance is effective as of January 1, 2022 (Early2024 for smaller reporting companies (early adoption is permitted effective January 1, 2021). The Company is currently evaluating the effect the updated standard will have on its financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosure.

The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no new pronouncements that may have a material impact on the results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, based on the current information.

Founder Shares

In March 2021, the Former Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 shares of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”)Founder Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. This amount was paid on behalf of the Company to cover certain expenses. The Founder Shares includeincluded an aggregate of up to 750,000 shares subject to forfeiture by the Former Sponsor to the extent that the underwriter’s overallotment iswas not exercised in full or in part, so that the number of Founder Shares will collectively represent approximately 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. Since the underwriter did not exercise the over-allotment option in full, the Former Sponsor forfeitedsurrendered 259,717 Class B ordinary shares,Founder Shares, which were canceledforfeited by the Company. As a result of such forfeiture, there are currently 5,490,283 Class B ordinary sharesFounder Shares issued and outstanding.

The Sponsor and the Company’s directors and executive officers have agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination and (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary sharesPublic Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 120 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, amalgamation, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A ordinary sharesPublic Shares for cash, securities or other property.

Director Shares

On May 12, 2021, the Former Sponsor transferred 90,000 Founder Shares in the aggregate to independent directors (“Director Shares”) at a price of $0.004 per share for gross proceeds of $390. The fair value of the Director Shares was approximately $8.01 per share or $720,459 in total as of May 12, 2021, which was calculated using a valuation model that takes into account various assumptions such as the probability of successfully completing the Business Combination among other factors. The excess fair value over the purchase price of $720,068 is deemed to be a benefit to the Company under SAB Topic 5A. However, as the assignment agreement underlying the Director Shares contains a performance obligation contingent upon consummation of the Business Combination, the expense will not be recognized until such time as the Business Combination is considered probable. A liquidity event such as a change in control or a Business Combination is not considered probable under ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” and as such this will not be recorded until consummation of the Company’s Business Combination. The Director Shares were not repurchased or forfeited pursuant to the change in sponsor and surrounding transactions.

On August 8, 2023, the New Sponsor approved the transfer of 80,000 Founder Shares in the aggregate to directors (“New Director Shares”). The terms and conditions of this transfer were still under negotiation and as such, they do not meet the criteria under ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” to qualify as granted and transferred.

Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees (except for a number of shares of Class A ordinary shares as described above under Redemption of warrants for Class A ordinary shares). If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 4,000,000 Private Placement Warrants (the “Private Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Warrant in a private placement to certain funds and accounts managed by XPAC Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”) generating proceeds of $6,000,000 from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants.

In connection with the Underwriter’s partial exercise of their over-allotment option, the Sponsor purchased an additional 261,485 Private Placement Warrants (the “Additional Private Placement Warrants”), generating gross proceeds$19,611,310 to the CompanyCompany.

The underwriter was paid a cash underwriting discount of approximately $392,228.

The 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares held by the Sponsor (prior to the exercise of the over-allotment option) included 750,000 shares subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriter’s over-allotment option was not exercised in full, so that the initial shareholders of the Company would collectively own 20.0% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company after the IPO. Since the underwriter did not exercise the over-allotment option in full, the Sponsor forfeited 259,717 Class B ordinary shares, which were canceled by the Company. As a result of such forfeiture, there are currently 5,490,283 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding.

Following the closing of the IPO on August 3, 2021 and the Over-Allotment on August 16, 2021, $219,611,311 ($10.00$0.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the UnitsUnit, or $4,392,226 in the IPO and the sale of the Private Warrants was placed in a U.S.-based trust account at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee (“Trust Account”), which will be 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 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 Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the redemption of any Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and (iii) the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within 24 months from August 3, 2021 (the “Combination Period”),aggregate upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering.Offering and the partial exercise of the over-allotment option.

NOTE 9 — RECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s warrant liabilities were valued at $718,000 and $1,874,437, respectively.

Under the guidance in ASC 815-40, the Public Warrants and the Private Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment. As such, the Public Warrants and the Private Warrants must be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. This valuation is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each re-measurement, the valuations will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s statement of operations.

The following tables present fair value information as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

  As of September 30, 2023 
  (Level 1)  (Level 2)  (Level 3) 
Assets:         
Investments held in the Trust Account $68,616,837  $  $

Liabilities:            
Public Warrants $1,184,437  $  $ 
Private Warrants $  $  $690,000 

The fair value of the Private Warrant liabilities was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at the initial measurement date. On September 20, 2021, the Public Warrants started trading separately from the Public Shares underlying the Units that were sold in the Initial Public Offering and partial exercise of the over-allotment. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2021, the Public Warrants were reclassified from a Level 3 to a Level 1 classification due to use of the observed trading price of the separated Public Warrants.

Transfers between Levels are recorded at the end of each reporting period. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2023, the Private Warrants were classified from Level 3 to Level 2 on the basis that the make-whole provision within the warrant agreement effectively values them in alignment with the value of the Public Warrants.

Measurement

The Company established the initial fair value for the warrants on August 3, 2021, the date of the consummation of the Company’s Initial Public Offering, using a Black-Scholes-Merton formula model. At the date of the Initial Public Offering, the Company allocated the proceeds received from (i) the sale of Units (which were inclusive of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one Public Warrant), and (ii) the sale of Private Warrants, first to the warrants based on their fair values as determined at initial measurement, with the remaining proceeds allocated to Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption (temporary equity), based on their relative fair values at the initial measurement date.

As of September 30, 2023, the Public Warrants were publicly traded and their fair value was based on the market trade price on that date.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated on March 11, 2021 as a Cayman Islands corporation and formedexempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We have not selected any specific business combination target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, engaged in any substantive discussions directly or indirectly, with any business combination target with respect to an initial business combination with us. In addition, we have not contacted any of the prospective target businesses that XPAC had considered and rejected while such entity was a blank check company searching for target businesses to acquire. While our efforts in identifying a prospective target business for our initial business combination will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic region, we intend to initially focus our search on identifying a prospective target business experiencing very high-growth.Business Combination. We intend to effectuate our initial business combinationBusiness Combination using cash from the proceeds of this offering,our Initial Public Offering, shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, additional equity raised through a public or private offering, or a combination of the foregoing.

On August 3, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 units (“Units”). Each Unit consisted of one Class A ordinary share (“Public Shares”) and one-third of one of our redeemable warrants (“Public Warrants”), with each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one of our Public Shares for $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000. We expectgranted the underwriter a 45-day option to incur significant costspurchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units solely to cover over-allotments.

Simultaneously with the consummation of our Initial Public Offering, we completed the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 4,000,000 Private Warrants to XPAC Sponsor, LLC (the “Former Sponsor”), at a purchase price of $1.50 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $6,000,000. The proceeds from the sale of the Private Warrants were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the pursuitTrust Account.

On August 16, 2021, the underwriter partially exercised the over-allotment option and on August 19, 2021, purchased an additional 1,961,131 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating additional gross proceeds of $19,611,310. In addition, we issued 261,485 Private Warrants to the Former Sponsor.


Following the closing of our initialInitial Public Offering, $219,611,310 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Warrants were placed in the Trust Account established for the benefit of our public shareholders (“Public Shareholders”). The Trust Account is invested in interest-bearing U.S. government securities and the income earned on those investments is also for the benefit of our Public Shareholders.

Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds were intended to be applied generally towards consummating a Business Combination. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our initial

On December 2, 2022, the Company, PubCo, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2, Newco and SuperBac entered into the First Amendment Agreement to the Business Combination Agreement (“First BCA Amendment”), pursuant to which the parties thereto amended the Business Combination Agreement to extend the date by which either the Company or SuperBac could terminate the Business Combination Agreement if the transactions contemplated thereby have not been consummated by such date from November 21, 2022 to January 31, 2023 (and if such date is not a business day, then the next following business day). The First BCA Amendment is filed as an exhibit to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the foregoing description of the First BCA Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

On December 19, 2022, SuperBac held an ordinary and extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders (the “December 2022 Shareholder Meeting”) for the purposes of (i) approving in an ordinary general meeting of its shareholders, SuperBac’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the total remuneration of SuperBac’s directors for the 2022 fiscal year, and (ii) approving in an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders, the entry into of the First BCA Amendment, and the terms and conditions of a proposed issuance of non-convertible debt by Superbac Indústria e Comércio de Fertilizantes S.A.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2023, we had no cash outside the Trust Account available for working capital needs. All cash was held in the Trust Account and is generally unavailable for our use, prior to our initial Business Combination.

Each Unit is expected to consist of one share of Class A ordinary shares and one-third of one warrant (“Public Warrant”).

An aggregate of $10.00 per Unit sold in theour Initial Public Offering, wasour liquidity needs have been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of our Initial Public Offering and our Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account.

We have incurred significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. In order to meet our financial needs after September 30, 2023, our Sponsor or its affiliates can, but are not obligated to, provide funding through a working capital loan. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Prior to our initial Business Combination, we will be using the funds held outside of the Trust Account for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and invested in U.S. government securities, withinevaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) oftarget business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating 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 meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company. As of August 3, 2021, $200,000,000 of the IPO proceeds was held in the Trust Account.

We may withdraw interest income (if any) to pay taxes, if any. Our annual income tax obligations will depend on the amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the trust account. We expect the interest earned on the amount in the trust account will be sufficient to pay our taxes. We expect the only taxes payable by us out of the funds in the trust account will be income and franchise taxes, if any.

Prior to the completion of our initial business combination, we will have available to us an estimated $1,000,000 of proceeds held outside the trust account. We will use these funds primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, structure, negotiate and complete a business combination, and to pay taxes to the extent the interest earned on the trust account is not sufficient to pay our taxes.

We expectexpected our primary liquidity requirements during that periodprior to our initial Business Combination to include approximately $350,000 for legal, accounting, due diligence, travel and other expenses in connectionassociated with any business combinations;structuring, negotiating and documenting a Business Combination; $150,000 for legal and accounting fees related to regulatory reporting requirements; $58,000 for Nasdaq continued listing fees; $240,000 for office space, administrative and support services; and $202,000$442,000 for general working capital that will be used for miscellaneous expenses and reserves net of estimated interest income.reserves.

These amounts are estimates and may differ materially from our actual expenses. In addition, we could use a portion of the funds not being placed in trust to pay commitment fees for financing, fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business or as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision (a provision designed to keep target businesses from “shopping” around for transactions with other companies or investors on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed business combination,Business Combination, although we do not have any current intention to do so. If we entered into an agreement where we paid for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business, the amount that would be used as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision would be determined based on the terms of the specific business combinationBusiness Combination and the amount of our available funds at the time. Our forfeiture of such funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise) could result in ourus not having sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conducting due diligence with respect to, prospective target businesses.

As of September 30, 2023, we had no cash and a working capital deficit of $247,481.

If the Company is not able to consummate a Business Combination before August 3, 2024, the Company will commence an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation. Effective as of May 3, 2023, the Company, PubCo, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2, Newco and SuperBac mutually agreed to terminate the Business Combination Agreement pursuant to the Termination Agreement dated May 3, 2023.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our unaudited condensed financial information.statements. We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Financial Statements included in this report. Our unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain of our accounting policies require that management apply significant judgments in defining the appropriate assumptions integral to financial estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Judgments are based on historical experience, terms of existing contracts, industry trends and information available from outside sources, as appropriate. However, by their nature, judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty, and, therefore, actual results could differ from our estimates.


Recent Accounting Standards

Our management does

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The new guidance eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted EPS computation. This guidance is effective as of January 1, 2024 for smaller reporting companies (early adoption is permitted effective January 1, 2021). The Company is currently evaluating the effect the updated standard will have on its financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosure.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, ASC Subtopic 820 “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions”. The ASU amends ASC 820 to clarify that a contractual sales restriction is not believeconsidered in measuring an equity security at fair value and to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that any recently issued, butare measured at fair value. The ASU applies to both holders and issuers of equity and equity-linked securities measured at fair value. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet effective,been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently assessing what impact, if any, that ASU 2022-03 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We have considered all new accounting standards if currently adopted wouldpronouncements and have concluded that there are no new pronouncements that may have a material effectimpact on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, based on the accompanying financial statements.current information.

JOBS Act

The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act and are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an independent registered public accounting firm’s attestation report on our system of internal controlscontrol over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the independent registered public accounting firm’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of this offeringthe Initial Public Offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We

Disclosure controls are not currentlyprocedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to maintain an effective system of internalbe disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls as defined by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We will be required to complyare also designed with the internal control requirementsobjective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Sarbanes- Oxley Act for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. Only in the event that we are deemedchief executive officer and chief financial officer (who serves as our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), as appropriate to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer and no longer an emerging growth company would we beallow timely decisions regarding required to complydisclosure.

Our management evaluated, with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement. Further, forparticipation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as long as we remain an emerging growth company as defined inof September 30, 2023, pursuant to Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the JOBS Act, we intend to 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 requirement.

PriorExchange Act. Due to the closing of this offering, we have not completed an assessment, nor hasmaterial weaknesses in our independent registered public accounting firm tested our systems, of internal controls. We expect to assess the internal controls of our target business or businesses prior to the completion of our initial business combination and, if necessary, to implement and test additional controls as we may determine are necessary in order to state that we maintain an effective system of internal controls. A target business may not be in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding the adequacy of internal controls. Many small and mid-sized target businesses we may consider for our initial business combination may have internal controls that need improvement in areas such as:

staffing for financial, accounting and external reporting areas, including segregation of duties;
reconciliation of accounts;
proper recording of expenses and liabilities in the period to which they relate;
evidence of internal review and approval of accounting transactions;
documentation of processes, assumptions and conclusions underlying significant estimates; and documentation of accounting policies and procedures.

Because it will take time, management involvement and perhaps outside resources to determine what internal control improvements are necessary for us to meet regulatory requirements and market expectations for our operation of a target business, we may incur significant expenses in meeting our public reporting responsibilities, particularly in the areas of designing, enhancing, or remediating internal and disclosure controls. Doing so effectively may also take longer than we expect, thus increasing our exposure to financial fraud or erroneous financing reporting.

Once our management’s report on internal controls is complete, we will retain our independent registered public accounting firm to audit and render an opinion on such report when required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The independent registered public accounting firm may identify additional issues concerning a target business’s internal controls while performing their audit of internal control over financial reporting.reporting described below, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2023. As a result, our management performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the periods presented.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

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 September 30, 2023 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except as described below.

Our internal control over financial reporting did not result in the proper classification of the Class A redeemable ordinary shares within our previously issued August 3, 2021 Balance Sheet and the August 3, 2021 Pro Forma Balance Sheet. In those balance sheets, we determined that the Public Shares subject to possible redemption to be equal to the redemption value of the Public Shares, while also taking into consideration that the redemption cannot result in net tangible assets being less than $5,000,001, which represented a material weakness.

After discussion and evaluation, we have concluded that while provisions in our amendments to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may result in the Company being unable to redeem all of the Public Shares in certain situations, the Public Shares still contain redemption provisions which are outside of our control and therefore should be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, management concluded that the redemption value should include all Public Shares subject to possible redemption, resulting in the Public Shares subject to possible redemption being equal to the full redemption value of the Public Shares.


23

Furthermore, our internal control over financial reporting did not result in the proper recognition of certain costs (the “Business Combination Costs”) related to our Business Combination incurred in connection with, and in anticipation of, the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, as well as our progression of the Business Combination, which represented a material weakness. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, certain of the Business Combination Costs paid or payable in the future by us are either reimbursable to us or payable on our behalf by PubCo, or its affiliates, upon consummation of the Business Combination. However, until such potential reimbursement or payment in the future if, and at such point in time when the Business Combination is consummated, all Business Combination Costs are required to be reflected as liabilities on our balance sheet and expensed in our income statement. We determined upon our review that not all of our Business Combination Costs have been properly recognized and reflected for the relevant periods based on when such costs were incurred irrespective of whether such Business Combination Costs may be reimbursable in the future.

Additionally, our internal control over financial reporting did not properly identify a discrepancy in an estimate of liabilities at the time such estimate was received or the removal of certain liabilities expected to be paid by an affiliate of the Former Sponsor. These discrepancies were corrected and recorded properly in advance of filing of the Form 10-Q in the period in which they occurred.

As a result of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described in the paragraph above, our management and the audit committee of the board of directors of the Company concluded that the Company’s previously issued (i) audited financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and for the period from March 11, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2022; and (ii) unaudited condensed financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022, included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 13, 2022, should no longer be relied upon and, in each case, should be restated to recognize the Business Combination Costs as liabilities and, correspondingly, as income statement expenses for the relevant periods based on when such costs were incurred irrespective of whether such Business Combination Costs may be reimbursable in the future.

Lastly, our internal control over financial reporting did not properly identify gains and losses recorded on redemptions occurring from the Trust account. These discrepancies were corrected and recorded properly in advance of filing of the Form 10-Q in the period in which they occurred.

To respond to these material weaknesses, we have devoted, and plan to continue to devote, significant effort and resources to the remediation and improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. While we have processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, we plan to enhance our system of evaluating and implementing the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements as well as the application of those that apply to nuances in blank check companies in the process of a Business Combination such as ours. Additionally, we plan to implement a new process for receipt, review and approval of invoices from our vendors. Our remediation plan at this time includes providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents, industry best practices and increased communication among our personnel and third-party accounting professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these controls and will make any further changes management determines appropriate.
