EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) on Form 10-Q/A amends the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Aries I Acquisition Corporation (the "Company") as of September 30, 2021 and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 22, 2021 (the “Q3 Form 10-Q”).

On November 22, 2021, the Company filed the Q3 Form 10-Q, which included a Note 2, Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements (“Note 2”), that describes a restatement to the Company’s classification of its Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption issued as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) on May 21, 2021 as well as additional offering costs related to the excess of fair value over purchase price for the sale of indirect interests in the Founder Shares by the Sponsor to certain anchor investors in connection with their participation in the Company’s Initial Public Offering that was not previously accounted for. As described in Note 2, upon its IPO, the Company classified a portion of the Class A ordinary shares as permanent equity to maintain net tangible assets greater than $5,000,000 on the basis that the Company will consummate its initial business combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001. The Company’s management re-evaluated the conclusion and determined that the Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption included certain provisions that require classification of the Class A ordinary shares as temporary equity regardless of the minimum net tangible assets required to complete the Company’s initial business combination. As a result, management corrected the error by revising all Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption as temporary equity. This resulted in an adjustment to the initial carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption with the offset recorded to additional paid-in capital (to the extent available), accumulated deficit and Class A ordinary shares.

On March 10, 2022, the Company's management and  the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors (the “Audit Committee”) identified that the Company's Q3 Form 10-Q issued on November 22, 2021 omitted the warrant liability associated with public warrants of the Company in error. As a result, the Company's management and the Audit Committee concluded that the Company’s previously issued unaudited interim financial statements included in the Q3 Form 10-Q, filed with the SEC on November 22, 2021, should no longer be relied upon and that it is appropriate to restate such previously issued unaudited interim financial statements.

The Company determined that none of the above changes will have any impact on its cash position and cash held in the trust account established in connection with the IPO.

The Company’s management has concluded that in light of the omission of the warrant liability associated with the recording of the public warrants of the Company described above, a material weakness exists in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the period noted above. The Company’s remediation plan with respect to such material weakness is described in more detail in Item 4 of Part I to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A.

Except as described above, this First Amendment does not amend, update or change any other items or disclosures contained in the Original Filing, and accordingly, this First Amendment does not reflect or purport to reflect any information or events occurring after the date of filing of the Original Filing or modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events. Accordingly, this First Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and the Company’s other filings with the SEC.

As approved by its shareholders at the Meeting on August 12, 2022, the Company adopted its Second Amended and Restated Articles of Association on August 12, 2022 (the “Charter Amendment”), giving the Company the right to extend the Combination Period up to twelve (12) times for an additional one (1) month each time, from August 21, 2022 to August 21, 2023. In connection with the shareholders’ vote at the Meeting, 12,078,942 ordinary shares of the Company exercised their right to redeem such shares (the “Redemption”) for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account. As a result, approximately $123.3 million (approximately $10.21 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders and approximately $23.4 million remained in the Trust Account as of the date of payment. Following the aforementioned redemptions, the Company had 5,889,808 ordinary shares outstanding, which includes 2,296,058 Public Shares and 3,593,750 Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5).

On August 16, 2022, the Company notified the trustee of the Company’s Trust Account that it was extending the time available to the Company to consummate its initial Business Combination from August 21, 2022 to September 21, 2022 (the “Second Extension”). Pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement, on August 18, 2022, in connection with the Second Extension, the Sponsor deposited an aggregate of $80,362.03 (the “Second Extension Payment”) into the Trust Account, on behalf of the Company. This deposit was made in respect of a non-interest bearing loan by the Sponsor to the Company (the “Second Extension Loan”).

On September 13, 2022, the Company notified the trustee of the Company’s Trust Account that it was extending the time available to the Company to consummate its initial business combination from September 21, 2022 to October 21, 2022 (the “Third Extension”). Pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement, on September 16, 2022, in connection with the Third Extension, the Sponsor deposited an aggregate of $80,362.03 (the “Third Extension Payment”) into the Trust Account, on behalf of the Company. This deposit was made in respect of a non-interest bearing loan by the Sponsor to the Company (the “Third Extension Loan”).

If the Company completes a business combination by the then-effective termination date, the Company will repay the First, Second and Third Extension Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. If the Company does not complete its initial business combination by the then-effective termination date, the Company will only repay the First, Second and Third Extension Loans from funds held outside of the Trust Account.

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.10 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust account, if less than $10.10 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). 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, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

On July 20, 2022, the parties to the Merger Agreement entered into the First Amendment to the Merger Agreement (the “Amendment”) pursuant to which, among other things, the parties agreed to (i) amend the termination date from November 21, 2022 to August 21, 2023 if, on or prior to August 21, 2022, the Company effectuates an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which it must consummate a business combination and (ii) amend the definition of Company Equity Value from $525 million to $527 million, which increase corresponds to the value of the share consideration being paid to SuperBitMachine, Inc.’s (“SBM”) shareholders in connection with Infinite’s recent acquisition of SBM. As approved by its shareholders at the Meeting on August 12, 2022, the Company adopted the Charter Amendment, giving the Company the right to extend the Combination Period up to twelve (12) times for an additional one (1) month each time, from August 21, 2022 to August 21, 2023.

In addition, the holders of Class A common stock of Infinite immediately prior to the Closing will have the right to receive a pro-rata share of up to 50,000,000 additional shares of New Infinite Class A common stock upon the occurrence of each of certain earn-out triggering events, as follows: (i) 10,000,000 shares (the “$15.00 Earn Out Shares”) upon the date on which the volume weighted average closing sale price of one share of the Class A common stock of New Infinite as reported on Nasdaq over any twenty (20) consecutive trading day period (as equitably adjusted as appropriate to reflect any stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Class A common stock of New Infinite), extraordinary cash dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change or transaction with respect to the Class A common stock of New Infinite) (such price, the “Share Price”) is equal to or greater than $15.00 per share at any time during the period beginning at the Closing and ending on the five-year anniversary of the Closing date (the “Earn Out Period”); (ii) 10,000,000 shares (the “$17.50 Earn Out Shares”) upon the date on which the Share Price is equal to or greater than $17.50 per share during the Earn Out Period; (iii) 10,000,000 shares (the “$20.00 Earn Out Shares”) upon the date on which the Share Price is equal to or greater than $20.00 per share during the Earn Out Period; (iv) 10,000,000 shares (the “$22.50 Earn Out Shares”) upon the date on which the Share Price is equal to or greater than $22.50 per share during the Earn Out Period; and (v) 10,000,000 shares (the “$25.00 Earn Out Shares”) upon the date on which the Share Price is equal to or greater than $25.00 per share during the Earn Out Period.

Going Concern

As of September 30, 2021,2022, the Company had $817,331 of$25,856 in cash held outside of the Trust Account and a working capital deficit of $992,103.

$3,383,941. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern, management has determined that if the Company is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs prioror complete a Business Combination by December 21, 2022 (or August 21, 2023 if the Company extends the period to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through the proceeds of $25,000 from the sale of the Founder Shares, and a loan of $300,000 under an unsecured and non-interest bearing promissory note (see Note 6). Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s liquidity will be satisfied through the net proceeds from the private placement held outside of the Trust Account and proceeds available to the Company under the Working Capital Loan (as defined in Note 6).

Based on the foregoing, management believes thatmaximum extent possible), then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. See Note 10—Subsequent Events for additional information.

The liquidity condition and date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern one year from the date that these financial statements are issued. No adjustments have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacitybeen made to meet its needs through the earliercarrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the consummation ofCompany be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company intends to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date or one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will be using the funds held outsideobtain approval for an extension.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations, and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and such condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2. RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As Previously Filed

The credit and financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and disruptions due to the current conflict between Ukraine and Russia. The conflict is expected to have further global economic consequences, including but not limited to the possibility of severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, increases in inflation rates and uncertainty about economic and political stability. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely withinaddition, the controlUnited States and other countries have imposed sanctions on Russia which increases the risk that Russia, as a retaliatory action, may launch cyberattacks against the United States, its government, infrastructure and businesses. Any of the Company requireforegoing consequences, including those we cannot yet predict, may cause our business, financial condition, results of operations and the price of our ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. The Company had previously classified a portion of the Class A ordinary shares in permanent equity. Although the Company did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its charter currently provides that the Company will not redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. The Company restated its financial statements as of May 21, 2021 and June 30, 2021 to classify all Class A ordinary shares as temporary equity and any related impact, as the threshold in its charter would not change the nature of the underlying shares as redeemable and thus would be required to be disclosed outside of permanent equity. The Company also recorded additional offering costs related to the excess of fair value over purchase price for the sale of indirect interests in the Founder Shares by the Sponsor to certain anchor investors in connection with their participation in the Company’s Initial Public Offering that was not previously accounted for (see Note 6).adversely affected.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

The reclassification of amounts from permanent equity to temporary equity resulted in non-cash financial statement corrections and will have no impact on the Company’s current or previously reported cash position, operating expenses or total operating, investing or financing cash flows. Further, the additional offering costs recorded in relation to the anchor investors also result in non-cash financial statement corrections and will have no impact on the Company’s current or previously reported cash position, and investing or financing cash flows. In connection with the change in presentation for the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, the Company has restated its earnings per share calculation to allocate income and losses shared pro rata between Class A and Class B shares. This presentation contemplates a Business Combination as the most likely outcome, in which case, Class A and Class B shares share pro rata in the income and losses of the Company.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

Amendment No. 1

Upon review of its financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2021, the Company identified it had previously omitted the warrant liability associated with the Public Warrants of the Company in error. The Company has restated these financial statements to record the fair value of the Public Warrants on the balance sheet in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity as well as the change in fair value of the Public Warrants within the Statements of Operations in the period of change.

The omission of the fair value of the Public Warrants resulted in non-cash financial statement corrections and will have no impact on the Company’s current or previously reported cash position. Further, the correction of the omission of the fair value of the Public Warrants also results in non-cash financial statement corrections and will have no impact on the Company’s current or previously reported cash position. However, the omission of the fair value of the Public Warrants did have an impact on Company's condensed balance sheet, condensed statement of operations, condensed statement of changes in stockholders' equity (deficit), and condensed statement of cash flows (as shown below).

The following tables summarize the effect of the restatement on each financial statement line item as of the dates, and for the periods, indicated:

NOTE 3.2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations 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 completecomprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s prospectus for its Initial Public OfferingForm 10-K/A as filed with the SEC on May 20, 2021, as well as the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on May 24, 2021 and May 28, 2021.August 23, 2022. The interim results for the period from January 15, 2021 (inception) throughthree and nine months ended September 30, 20212022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 20212022 or for any future periods.

Emerging Growth Company

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

Table of Contents

ARIES I ACQUISITION CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

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 expenses during the reporting period.

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Investments Held in Trust Account

As of September 30, 2022 , the assets held in the Trust account were held in cash. As of December 31, 2021, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds which were invested solely in U.S. Treasury securities. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the U.S. Treasury securities held by the Company as of December 31, 2022 were liquified and the funds received were transferred to a non-interest bearing cash account.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

All of the 14,375,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In accordance with SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, all Class A ordinary shares has been classified outside of permanent equity.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit. The redemption value of the redeemable ordinary shares as of September 30, 2022 decreased in connection with the redemption of 12,078,942 ordinary shares for $123,279,777 on August 15, 2022. During the period, the Company recorded income earned on the Trust Account and the deposit of the First Extension Payment and the Second Extension Payment into the Trust Account by the Sponsor. As such, the Company recorded a decrease in the carrying amount of the redeemable ordinary shares of $122,812,600 and $121,537,460 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

Warrant Liabilities

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock,ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The Company accounts for the Public Warrants (as defined in Note 3) and Private Placement Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, the Public Warrants (as defined in Note 3) and the Private Placement Warrants are recorded as a liability. The initial fair value of the Public Warrants was estimated using a Modified Monte Carlo simulation approach and the subsequent measurement of the Public Warrants as of September 30, 2021 uses an observable market quote in an active market under the ticker RAMMW. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was estimated using a Modified Black-Scholes model (see Note 10)9).

Forward Purchase Agreement

The Company accounts for the Forward Purchase Agreement (“FPA”) as an equity instrument indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares based on an assessment of the specific terms of the FPA and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815. The assessment considers whether the FPA is a freestanding financial instrument pursuant to ASC 480 and meets the definition of a derivative asset or liability pursuant to ASC 480. Given that the ordinary shares included in the FPA do not contain any provisions which would preclude equity classification, such shares are classified in equity.

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1Topic 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs (“ASC 340”) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A - Expenses of Offering. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs directly attributable to the issuance of an equity contract to be classified in equity are recorded as a reduction in equity. Offering costs for equity contracts that are classified as assets and liabilities are expensed immediately. The Company incurred offering costs amounting to $11,248,466 as a result of the Initial Public Offering (consisting of a $2,875,000 underwriting fee, $6,468,750 of deferred underwriting fees , $1,369,500 of anchor investor offering costs and $535,216 of other offering costs). The Company recorded $10,722,371 of offering costs as a reduction of equity in connection with the shares of Class A ordinary shares included in the Units. The Company immediately expensed $526,095 of offering costs in connection with the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants that were classified as liabilities.

The Company was reimbursed $2,156,250 by the underwriters for offering costs associated with the Initial Public Offering. The Company recorded $2,000,569 of the reimbursement as a reduction of offering costs recorded to equity and $155,681 of the reimbursement as a reduction to expense. As such, net offering costs recorded to equity amounted to $8,721,802 and net expensed offering costs amounted to $370,414.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Table of Contents

ARIES I ACQUISITION CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in an interim period, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statement. Since the Company was incorporated on February 5, 2021, the evaluation was performed for the upcoming 20212022 tax year which will be the only period subject to examination.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were 0no unrecognized tax benefits and 0no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is considered an exempted Cayman Islands Company and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements.

Net Income Per Ordinary Share As Restated - Amendment No. 1

Net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. As the Public Shares are considered to be redeemable at fair value, and a redemption at fair value does not amount to a distribution different than other shareholders, Class A and Class B ordinary shares are presented as 1one class of shares in calculating net income per share. As a result, the calculated net income per share is the same for Class A and Class B shares of ordinary shares. AtAs of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into shares of ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted income per share is the same as basic incomeloss per share for the periods presented.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal DepositoryDeposit Insurance CoverageCorporation coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company applies ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“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

15

Table of Contents

ARIES I ACQUISITION CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

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.

The carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheet for cash, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

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.

See Note 109 for additional information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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

NOTE 4.3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 14,375,000 Units, which includes 1,875,000 Units that were issued pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $143,750,000. Each Unit consisted of 1one Class A ordinary share, $0.0001 par value, and one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase 1one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share (see Note 8)7).

NOTE 5.4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 4,456,250 warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant (for an aggregate purchase price of $4,456,250). Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase 1one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. The proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

NOTE 6.5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On January 26, 2021, the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 to cover certain expenses on behalf of the Company in exchange for the issuance of 5,031,250 Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”). In April 2021, the Sponsor forfeited for no consideration 1,437,500 Founder Shares. The remaining outstanding Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 468,750 Class B ordinary shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor would own, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering (assuming the Sponsor did not purchase any Public Shares in the Initial Public Offering). The over-allotment option was exercised in full on May 21, 2021; thus, these shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

The Sponsor has agreed that, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Founder Shares will not be transferred, assigned, sold or released from escrow until the earlier of  (i) one year after the completion of aan initial Business Combination and (ii) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital share exchange or other similar transaction after an initial Business Combination that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if  (1) the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30- trading day period commencing at least 150 days after an initial Business Combination or (2) the Company consummates a transaction after an initial Business Combination which results in the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property, the Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up.

A total of 11eleven anchor investors purchased Units in the Initial Public Offering at the offering price of $10.00 per Unit. Pursuant to such Units, the anchor investors have not been granted any shareholder or other rights in addition to those afforded to the Company’s other public shareholders.

Each anchor investor has entered into a separate a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreements”) with the Sponsor pursuant to which each anchor investor agreed to purchase a specified amount of shares of the Sponsor (the “Sponsor Shares”).

The Company estimated the fair value of the Sponsor Shares purchased by the anchor investors to be $1,369,500 or $2.49 per share. The excess of the fair value of the Sponsor Shares sold over the purchase price was determined to be an offering cost in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A. Accordingly, the offering cost were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to derivative warrant liabilities were expensed immediately in the statement of operations. Offering costs allocated to the Public Shares were charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and for the period from January 15, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, the Company incurred legal fees in connection with its prospective initial business combination. A portion of the fees in connection with the services rendered as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were contingent upon the closing of a business combination and therefore included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying condensed balance sheet. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, these fees were $1,140,622 and $455,169, respectively.

NOTE 8.7. WARRANTS

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of Class A ordinary shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of  (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) one year from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations described below with respect to registration. NaNNo warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue a Class A ordinary share upon exercise of a warrant unless the Class A ordinary share issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) business days after the closing of an initial Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60th) business day after the closing of an initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if Class A ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, the Company will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

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

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants included in the Units being sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable, or salable until 30 days after the completion of an initial Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. 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 and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

AtAs of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 7,187,500 Public Warrants and 4,456,250 Private Placement Warrants outstanding. The Company accounts for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability.

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments require that the Company record the warrants as derivative liabilities at fair value upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants were allocated a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Units equal to their fair value. The warrant liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the warrant liabilities will be adjusted to current fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The Company will reassess the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the warrants will be reclassified as of the date of the event that causes the reclassification.

The Company utilized a Modified Monte Carlo simulation model for the initial valuation of the Public Warrants. The subsequent measurement of the Public Warrants as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market under the ticker RAMMW. The quoted price of the Public Warrants was $0.55$0.10 and $0.76 per warrant as of September 30, 2021.2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The Company utilizes a Modified Black-Scholes simulation model to value the Private Placement Warrants at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations. The estimated fair value of the warrant liabilities are determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a binomial options pricingModified Black-Scholes simulation model are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its ordinary shares based on historical volatility that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain at zero.

The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern, pursuant to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, we have until December 21, 2022 (or August 21, 2023 if the Company extends the period to the maximum extent possible) to consummate a business combination. If a business combination is not consummated by this date, as it may be extended, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. See Note 10—Subsequent Events for additional information.

WeOn May 13, 2022, the Company notified the trustee of the Trust Account that it was extending the time available to the Company to consummate a Business Combination from May 21, 2022 to August 21, 2022. Pursuant to the terms of the trust agreement, the Company’s sponsor, Aries Acquisition Partners, Ltd., deposited an aggregate of $1,078,125 (the “First Extension Payment”) into the Company’s operating account on May 19, 2022, on behalf of the Company. The funds from the First Extension Payment were then immediately transferred from the operating account into the Trust Account. This deposit was made in respect of a non-interest bearing loan by the Sponsor to the Company (the “First Extension Loan”).

As approved by its shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders held on August 12, 2022 (the “Meeting”), on August 15, 2022, Company entered into an amendment (the “Trust Amendment”) to the investment management trust agreement, dated as of May 18, 2021, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trust Agreement”). Pursuant to the Trust Amendment, (1) the Company has the right to extend the Combination Period up to twelve (12) times for an additional one (1) month each time from August 21, 2022 to August 21, 2023 by depositing into the Trust Account, for each one-month extension, the lesser of (a) $120,000 and (b) $0.035 for each Class A ordinary share outstanding after giving effect to the Redemption (as defined below) and (2) the Company is required to hold the assets solely in cash from and after the effectiveness of the Trust Amendment. As approved by its shareholders at the Meeting on August 12, 2022, the Company adopted its Second Amended and Restated Articles of Association on August 12, 2022 (the “Charter Amendment”), giving the Company the right to extend the Combination Period up to twelve (12) times for an additional one (1) month each time, from August 21, 2022 to August 21, 2023. In connection with the shareholders’ vote at the Meeting, 12,078,942 ordinary shares of the Company exercised their right to redeem such shares (the “Redemption”) for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account. As a result, approximately $123.3 million (approximately $10.21 per share) will be removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders and approximately $23.4 million will remain in the Trust Account. Following the aforementioned redemptions, the Company will have 5,889,808 ordinary shares outstanding, which includes 2,296,058 Public Shares and 3,593,750 Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5).

On August 16, 2022, the Company notified the trustee of the Company’s Trust Account that it was extending the time available to the Company to consummate its initial Business Combination from August 21, 2022 to September 21, 2022. Pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement, on August 17, 2022, in connection with the extension, the Sponsor deposited an aggregate of $80,362.03 (the “Second Extension Payment”) into the Trust Account, on behalf of the Company. This deposit was made in respect of a non-interest bearing loan by the Sponsor to the Company (the “Second Extension Loan”).

On September 13, 2002, the Company notified the trustee of the Company’s Trust Account that it was extending the time available to the Company to consummate its initial Business Combination from September 21, 2022 to October 21, 2022. Pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement, on September 16, 2022, in connection with the extension, the Sponsor deposited an aggregate of $80,362.03 (the Third Extension Payment”) into the Trust Account, on behalf of the Company. This deposit was made in respect of a non-interest bearing loan by the Sponsor to the Company (the “Third Extension Loan”).

If the Company completes a business combination by the then-effective termination date, the Company will repay the First, Second and Third Extension Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. If the Company does not complete its initial business combination by the then-effective termination date, the Company will only repay the First, Second and Third Extension Loans from funds held outside of the Trust Account. This, as well as our liquidity condition, raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our sponsor, its affiliates, our officers or certain of our directors may, but are not obliged to, loan to us funds as may be required. If we complete our initial business combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the trust account released to us. In the event that our initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment. Prior to the completion of our initial business combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor, its affiliates or members of our management team as we do not believe wethird parties will needbe willing to raise additionalloan such funds following the Initial Public Offeringand provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business prior to our initial business combination. However, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination. trust account.

Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial business combination, either because the transaction requires more cash than is available from the proceeds held in our trust account, or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon the completion of ourthe business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. In addition, we intend to target businesses larger than we could acquire with the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the private placement warrants, and may as a result be required to seek additional financing to complete such proposed initial business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our business combination. If we are unable to completehave not consummated our initial business combination within the required time period because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the trust account. In addition, following our business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

Contractual Obligations

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) will have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of its securities held by them pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a business combination.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies

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

Warrant Liabilities

We account for the Private Placement Warrants and the redeemable warrants (the “Public Warrants”) that were included in units issued by the Company in its Initial Public Offering (collectively, the "Warrants") in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815”), under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity classification and must be recorded as liabilities. As the Warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, the Warrants are measured at fair value at inception and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations in the period of change.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

All of the 14,375,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the Unitsunits in our initial public offering and subsequent partial exercise of the Initial Public Offeringunderwriters’ over-allotment option contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such shares of Class A ordinary sharesPublic Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with our initial business combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s secondour amended and restated certificatememorandum and articles of incorporation.association. In accordance with SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480-10-S99,480”), redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, all Class A ordinary shares have been classified outside of permanent equity.

26

Table of Contents

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.

Warrant Liabilities

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

29

Table of Contents

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The Company accounts for the public warrants and Private Placement Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, the public warrants and the Private Placement Warrants are recorded as a liability. The Company utilized a Modified Monte Carlo simulation model for the initial valuation of the Public Warrants. The subsequent measurement of the Public Warrants is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market under the ticker RAMMW. The Company utilizes a Modified Black-Scholes simulation model to value the Private Placement Warrants.

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

Net income per commonordinary share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. AsRe-measurement associated with the Public Shares are considered to be redeemable atClass A ordinary shares is excluded from net income per share as the redemption value approximates fair value,value. Therefore, the earnings per share calculation allocates income and a redemption at fair value does not amount to a distribution different than other shareholders,losses shared pro rata between Class A and Class B ordinary shares are presented as one class of shares in calculating net income per share.shares. As a result, the calculated net income per share is the same for Class A and Class B shares of ordinary shares. The Company has not considered the effect of the Public Warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placementPrivate Placement Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 11,643,750 shares in the calculation of diluted net income per share, since the exercise of the Warrants arewarrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such Warrants would be anti-dilutive.events.

Forward Purchase Agreement

The Company accounts for the Forward Purchase Agreement (“FPA”) as an equity instrument indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares based on an assessment of the specific terms of the FPA and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)ASC 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”).815. The assessment considers whether the FPA is a freestanding financial instrument pursuant to ASC 480 and meets the definition of a derivative asset or liability pursuant to ASC 480. Given that the ordinary shares included in the FPA do not contain any provisions which would preclude equity classification, such shares are classified in equity.

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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

ITEM 4. DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under Securitiesthe Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.procedures as of September 30, 2022. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of September 30, 2021,2022, due to the restatement ofmaterial weaknesses in our unauditedinternal control over financial statements as of and for the period ended June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021reporting related to the Company’s accounting for complex financial instruments and the recording of the fair value of the public warrants as described in the Explanatory Note 2in our Quarterly Report Form 10-Q/A filed on March 31, 2022 and in the Explanatory Note in our Annual Report Form 10-K/A as filed on August 22, 2022. As a result, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to the accompanying unauditedensure that our financial statements which constitutes a material weaknesswere prepared in our internal control over financial reporting.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, suchaccordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management concluded that a deficiencyincluded in internal control overthis Quarterly Report present fairly in all material respects our financial reporting existed relating to the recordingposition, results of the fair value of the public warrantsoperations and the accounting treatment for complex financial instruments and that the failure to properly record and account for such instruments constituted a material weakness as defined in the SEC regulations. This material weakness resulted in the restatement of the Company's unaudited financial statements as of andcash flows for the period ended September 30, 2021.periods presented.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

None.From time to time, we are party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Management is not aware of any legal proceedings of which the outcome is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition, nor are we aware of any such legal proceedings contemplated by government agencies.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORSFACTORS.

Except as set forth below, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, filed with the SEC on August 23, 2022.

The Excise Tax included in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 may hinder our ability to consummate an initial business combination.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded domestic (i.e., U.S.) corporations and certain domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations. Because we may acquire a domestic corporation or engage in a transaction in which a domestic corporation becomes our parent or our affiliate and our securities trade on US stock exchange, we may become a “covered corporation” within the meaning of the IR Act. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax; however, no guidance has been issued to date. The IR Act applies only to repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022.

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

Recent increases in inflation in the United States and elsewhere could make it more difficult for us to complete our initial Business Combination.

Recent increases in inflation in the United States and elsewhere may lead to increased price volatility for publicly traded securities, including ours, or other national, regional or international economic disruptions, any of which could make it more difficult for us to complete our initial Business Combination.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2021. If we are unable to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately reportcomplete an initial business combination with a U.S. target company since such initial business combination may be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations and review by a U.S. government entity such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), or ultimately prohibited.

Our sponsor, Aries Acquisition Partners, Ltd. is a Cayman Islands exempted company. We are therefore likely considered a “foreign person” under the regulations administered by CFIUS and will continue to be considered as such in the future for so long as our financial resultssponsor has the ability to exercise control over us for purposes of CFIUS’s regulations. As such, an initial business combination with a U.S. business may be subject to CFIUS review, the scope of which was expanded by the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (“FIRRMA”), to include certain non-passive, non-controlling investments in sensitive U.S. businesses and

certain acquisitions of real estate even with no underlying U.S. business. FIRRMA, and subsequent implementing regulations that are now in force, also subjects certain categories of investments to mandatory filings. If our potential initial business combination with a timely manner, whichU.S. business falls within CFIUS’s jurisdiction, we may adversely affect investor confidence in us and materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

In connectiondetermine that we are required to make a mandatory filing or that we will submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed with the Company’s Initial Public Offering,initial business combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the Company accounted forinitial business combination. CFIUS may decide to block or delay our initial business combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to such initial business combination or order us to divest all or a portion of the proceeds received from the offering as shareholders’ equity. Following the SEC’s guidance on this issue, management has identified errors in its historical financial statements and performed a quantitative assessment under SAB 99 concluding a restatementU.S. business of the financial statements is requiredcombined company without first obtaining CFIUS clearance, which may limit the attractiveness of or prevent us from pursuing certain initial business combination opportunities that we believe would otherwise be beneficial to reclassify such amounts as Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemptionus and identifiedour shareholders. As a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting. Additionally,result, the Company identified material weaknesses identified in relation to the accounting treatmentpool of the purchase of Sponsor Shares by Anchor Investors and the recording of the fair value of the public warrants.

After consultationpotential targets with our independent registered public accounting firm, management and the audit committee identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting for the warrants issued in connection with our Initial Public Offering,  the accounting treatment of the purchase of Sponsor Shares by Anchor Investors, and the recording of the fair value of the public warrants. Our internal control over financial reporting did not result in the proper accounting classification of the warrants and treatment of Sponsor Shares, which due to its impact on our financial statements, we determined to be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a deficiency, or acould complete an initial business combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. We continue to evaluate steps to remediate the material weaknesses. These remediation measures may be time consuminglimited and costly and there is no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

If we identify any new material weaknesses in the future, any such newly identified material weakness could limit our ability to prevent or detect a misstatement of our accounts or disclosures that could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements. In such case, we may be unable to maintain complianceadversely affected in terms of competing with securities law requirements regarding timely filingother special purpose acquisition companies which do not have similar foreign ownership issues.

We cannot assure you that the measures we have takenlimited time to complete our initial business combination. If we cannot complete our initial business combination by December 21, 2022, or such later date that may be approved by Aries shareholders, because the review process extends beyond such timeframe or any measuresbecause our initial business combination is ultimately prohibited by CFIUS or another U.S. government entity, we may take in the future, will be sufficientrequired to avoid potential future material weaknesses.liquidate.
