PROXY STATEMENT FOR

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF

ACE CONVERGENCE ACQUISITION CORP.

(A CAYMAN ISLANDS EXEMPTED COMPANY)

PROSPECTUS FOR

33,825,413 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AND

11,500,000 WARRANTS OF

ACE CONVERGENCE ACQUISITION CORP.

(AFTER ITS DOMESTICATION AS A CORPORATION INCORPORATED IN THE STATE OF

DELAWARE), THE CONTINUING ENTITY FOLLOWING THE DOMESTICATION, WHICH WILL

BE RENAMED “TEMPO AUTOMATION HOLDINGS, INC.” IN CONNECTION WITH THE

BUSINESS COMBINATION DESCRIBED HEREIN

The disinterested members of the board of directors of ACE Convergence Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“ACE”), have approved (1) the domestication of ACE as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication” and ACE, immediately after the Domestication, “New Tempo”); (2) the merger (the “Merger” and, together with the Domestication, the “Business Combination”) of ACE Convergence Subsidiary Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of ACE, with and into Tempo Automation, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Tempo”), with Tempo surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Tempo, pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 12, 2022, by and among ACE, Merger Sub and Tempo, as amended on September 7, 2022, attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annexes A-1 and A-2 (as may be further amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), as more fully described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and (3) the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and documents related thereto. In connection with the Business Combination, ACE will change its name to “Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc.”

As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication, among other things, (1) each of the then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of ACE (the “ACE Class A ordinary shares”), and Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of ACE (the “ACE Class B ordinary shares”) will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Tempo (the “New Tempo common stock”); (2) each of the then issued and outstanding redeemable warrants of ACE (the “ACE warrants”) will convert automatically into a redeemable warrant to acquire one share of New Tempo common stock (the “New Tempo warrant”); and (3) each of the then issued and outstanding units of ACE that have not been previously separated into the underlying ACE Class A ordinary shares and underlying ACE warrants upon the request of the holder thereof (the “ACE units”), will be cancelled and will entitle the holder thereof to one share of New Tempo common stock and one-half of one New Tempo warrant. Accordingly, this proxy statement/prospectus covers (1) 9,695,298 shares of New Tempo common stock to be issued in the Domestication and (2) 11,500,000 New Tempo warrants to be issued in the Domestication.

As a result of and upon the Closing (as defined below), among other things, all outstanding shares of Tempo common stock (after giving effect to the Tempo Preferred Conversion (as defined below), as more fully described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus) as of immediately prior to the Closing, and outstanding options to purchase shares of Tempo common stock (“Tempo Options”) as of immediately prior to the Closing that will be converted into options to purchase shares of New Tempo common stock, will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive (or, in the case of the Tempo Options, New Tempo stock options covering) (i) shares of New Tempo common stock and (ii) the right to receive a number of Tempo Earnout Shares (as defined below). See “Business Combination Proposal  — Consideration  — Treatment of Tempo Options.” Additionally, Tempo has undertaken to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the holder of each outstanding and unexercised warrant of Tempo to purchase shares of Tempo common stock (“Tempo warrants”) to exercise such Tempo warrant in exchange for shares of Tempo common stock immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger. Holders of Tempo warrants may elect not to exercise such Tempo warrants in exchange for shares of Tempo common stock prior to the effective time of the Merger. Any Tempo warrants that remain issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into warrants to purchase shares of New Tempo common stock on substantially similar terms to the Tempo warrants.

The ACE units, ACE Class A ordinary shares and ACE warrants are currently listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “ACEVU,” “ACEV” and “ACEVW,” respectively. ACE will apply for listing, to be effective at the time of the Business Combination, of New Tempo common stock and New Tempo warrants on Nasdaq under the proposed symbols “TMPO” and “TMPOW,” respectively.

This proxy statement/prospectus provides shareholders of ACE with detailed information about the proposed business combination and other matters to be considered at the extraordinary general meeting of ACE. We encourage you to read this entire document, including the Annexes and other documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 66 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES REGULATORY AGENCY HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED THE TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS, PASSED UPON THE MERITS OR FAIRNESS OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION OR RELATED TRANSACTIONS OR PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THE DISCLOSURE IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY CONSTITUTES A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

This proxy statement/prospectus is dated                     , 2022, and

is first being mailed to ACE’s shareholders on or about                     , 2022.

ACE CONVERGENCE ACQUISITION CORP.

A Cayman Islands Exempted Company

(Company Number 361468)

1013 Centre Road, Suite 403S

Wilmington, Delaware 19805

Dear ACE Convergence Acquisition Corp. Shareholders:

You are cordially invited to attend the extraordinary general meeting (the “extraordinary general meeting”) of ACE Convergence Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“ACE” and, after the Domestication, as described below, “New Tempo”), at                 , Eastern Time, on,                2022, at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, located at 525 University Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94301, or virtually via live webcast at         or at such other time, on such other date and at such other place to which the meeting may be adjourned.

At the extraordinary general meeting, ACE shareholders will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal, which is referred to herein as the “Business Combination Proposal,” to approve and adopt the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 12, 2022, as amended by that certain First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 7, 2022 (as the same may further be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among ACE, ACE Convergence Subsidiary Corp. (“Merger Sub”) and Tempo Automation, Inc. (“Tempo”), copies of which are attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annexes A-1 and A-2. The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things, following the Domestication of ACE to Delaware as described below, the merger of Merger Sub with and into Tempo (the “Merger”), with Tempo surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Tempo, in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement as more fully described elsewhere in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

As a condition to the consummation of the Merger, the disinterested members of the board of directors of ACE have approved a change of ACE’s jurisdiction of incorporation by deregistering as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and continuing and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication” and, together with the Merger, the “Business Combination”). As described in this proxy statement/prospectus, you will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Domestication (the “Domestication Proposal”). In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, ACE will change its name to “Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc.” As used in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, “New Tempo” refers to ACE after the Domestication as well as after the Business Combination, including after such change of name, as applicable.

As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication, (1) each of the then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of ACE (the “ACE Class A ordinary shares”), will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Tempo (the “New Tempo common stock”), (2) each of the then issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of ACE (the “ACE Class B ordinary shares”), will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of New Tempo common stock, (3) each of the then issued and outstanding redeemable warrants of ACE (the “ACE warrants”) will convert automatically into a redeemable warrant to acquire one share of New Tempo common stock (the “New Tempo warrants”) pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, dated July 27, 2020, between ACE and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), as warrant agent, and (4) each of the then issued and outstanding units of ACE that have not been previously separated into the underlying ACE Class A ordinary shares and underlying ACE warrants upon the request of the holder thereof (the “ACE units”), will be cancelled and will entitle the holder thereof to one share of New Tempo common stock and one-half of one New Tempo warrant. As used herein, “public shares” shall mean the ACE Class A ordinary shares (including those that underlie the ACE units) that were registered pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (333-239716) and the shares of New Tempo common stock issued as a matter of law upon the conversion thereof on the effective date of the Domestication. For further details, see “Domestication Proposal.”

You will also be asked to consider and vote upon (1) four separate proposals to approve material differences between ACE’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (as may be amended from time to time, the “Cayman Constitutional Documents”) and the proposed certificate of incorporation and bylaws of New Tempo (collectively, the “Organizational Documents Proposals”), (2) a proposal to elect directors who, upon consummation of the Business Combination, will be the directors of New Tempo (the “Director Election Proposal”), (3) a proposal to approve, for purposes of complying with the applicable provisions of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635, the issuance of New Tempo common stock to (a) the PIPE Investors pursuant to the PIPE Investment and (b) the Tempo Stockholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (4) a proposal to approve and adopt the Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc. 2022 Incentive Award Plan (the “Incentive Award Plan Proposal”) and (5) a proposal to approve the adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that

there are insufficient votes for the approval of one or more proposals at the extraordinary general meeting (the “Adjournment Proposal”). The Business Combination will be consummated only if the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposals, the Director Election Proposal, the Stock Issuance Proposal and the Incentive Award Plan Proposal (collectively, the “Condition Precedent Proposals”) are approved at the extraordinary general meeting. Each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal. Each of these proposals is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, which each shareholder is encouraged to read carefully and in its entirety.

As a result of and upon the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), among other things, all outstanding shares of Tempo common stock (after giving effect to the Tempo Preferred Conversion, as defined below and as described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus) as of immediately prior to the Closing, and, together with shares of Tempo common stock reserved in respect of outstanding options to purchase shares of Tempo common stock (“Tempo Options”) as of immediately prior to the Closing that will be converted into awards based on New Tempo common stock, will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, or the reservation of (in the case of the Tempo Options, if and to the extent earned and subject to their respective terms), an aggregate of approximately 25,792,701 shares of New Tempo common stock (at a deemed value of $10.00 per share) equal to the remainder of (a) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) $257,927,013 (the “Base Purchase Price”) by (ii) $10.00, including, as applicable, a number of Tempo Earnout Shares (as defined below and as described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus). Additionally, Tempo has undertaken to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the holder of each outstanding and unexercised warrant of Tempo to purchase shares of Tempo common stock (“Tempo warrants”) to exercise such Tempo warrant in exchange for shares of Tempo common stock immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger. Holders of Tempo warrants may elect not to exercise such Tempo warrants in exchange for shares of Tempo common stock prior to the effective time of the Merger. Any Tempo warrants that remain issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into warrants to purchase shares of New Tempo common stock on substantially similar terms to the Tempo warrants.

In connection with the Business Combination, certain related agreements have been, or will be, entered into on or prior to the date of the Closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing Date”), including (i) the Sponsor Support Agreement, (ii) the Tempo Holders Support Agreement, (iii) the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, (iv) the Lock-Up Agreements, (v) the Amended and Restated PIPE Common Stock Subscription Agreements, (vi) the Lender PIPE Common Stock Subscription Agreement, (vii) the Cantor Share Purchase Agreement and (viii) the Cantor Registration Rights Agreement. For additional information, see “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

Pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, a holder of public shares (a “public shareholder”), which excludes shares held by the Sponsor, may request that ACE redeem all or a portion of such shareholder’s public shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. Holders of units must elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the transfer agent directly and instruct it to do so. Public shareholders may elect to redeem their public shares even if they vote “for” the Business Combination Proposal or any other Condition Precedent Proposal. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the public shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank. If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a public shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the public shares that it holds and timely delivers its shares to Continental, ACE’s transfer agent, New Tempo will redeem such public shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the trust account established at the consummation of our initial public offering (the “trust account”), calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, as of June 30, 2022, this would have amounted to approximately $10.17 per issued and outstanding public share. If a public shareholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its public shares for cash and will no longer own public shares. The redemption will take place following the Domestication and, accordingly, it is shares of New Tempo common stock that will be redeemed immediately after consummation of the Business Combination. See “Extraordinary General Meeting of ACE — Redemption Rights” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your public shares for cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such public shareholder or any other person with whom such public shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the public shares without the prior consent of ACE. Accordingly, if a public shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash without the prior consent of ACE.

The Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers, and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Sponsor Support Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2021, a copy of which is attached as Annex B-1 to this proxy statement/prospectus, as amended by the amendments thereto, dated as of July 6, 2022, August 12, 2022, and September 7, 2022, copies of which are attached as Annexes B-2, B-3 and B-4, respectively, to this proxy statement/prospectus (as may be further amended, the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), and to waive their redemption rights with respect to all of the founder shares and any ordinary shares held by them in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, subject to the terms and conditions contemplated in the letter agreement, dated as of July 27, 2020. As of the date of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, and due to (i) the redemption of 14,797,723 public shares in connection with the shareholder vote in January 2022 and (ii) the redemption of 4,256,979 public shares in connection with the shareholder vote in July 2022, in each case to approve the extension of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination, the Sponsor (including ACE’s directors, officers, and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees) owns 59.31% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares. If ACE is not able to complete the Business Combination with Tempo or another business combination by October 13, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), then the Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers, and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any public shares they hold.

The Merger Agreement provides that the obligations of Tempo to consummate the Merger are conditioned on, among other things, that as of the Closing, (i) the amount of cash available in the trust account, after deducting the amount required to satisfy ACE’s obligations to its shareholders (if any) that exercise their rights to redeem their public shares pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents (but prior to the payment of any (x) deferred underwriting commissions being held in the trust account and (y) transaction expenses of ACE and Tempo) (such amount, the “Trust Amount”), plus (ii) the PIPE Investment Amount (as defined herein) actually received by ACE prior to or substantially concurrently with the Closing Date (as defined herein), plus (iii) the Available Credit Amount (as defined herein), plus (iv) the Available Cash Amount (the sum of (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), the “Available Acquiror Cash”), is at least equal to $10.0 million (the “Minimum Available Acquiror Cash Amount” and, such condition, the “Minimum Cash Condition”). This condition is for the sole benefit of Tempo. If such condition is not met, and such condition is not or cannot be waived under the terms of the Merger Agreement, then the Merger Agreement could terminate and the proposed Business Combination may not be consummated. In addition, the Merger Agreement provides that the obligations of ACE, Merger Sub and Tempo to consummate the Merger are conditioned on, among other things, that pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, in no event will ACE redeem public shares in an amount that would cause ACE’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) to be less than $5,000,001.

The Merger Agreement is also subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain other closing conditions as described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus (including the absence of a material adverse effect on Tempo and the approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, by the (i) affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the outstanding Tempo capital stock voting as a single class and on an as-converted basis and (ii) the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the outstanding Tempo Preferred Stock, voting as a single class and on an as-converted basis. There can be no assurance that the parties to the Merger Agreement would waive any such provision of the Merger Agreement.

ACE’s shareholders should be aware that Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. (“Citi”) has resigned from its roles as financial advisor to Tempo and as a placement agent to ACE in connection with the Merger effective as of May 19, 2022 and has disclaimed any responsibility for any portion of this proxy statement/prospectus. ACE’s shareholders should not place any reliance on the participation of Citi prior to such resignation in the transactions contemplated by this proxy statement/prospectus.

ACE is providing the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus and accompanying proxy card to ACE’s shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the extraordinary general meeting and at any adjournments of the extraordinary general meeting. Information about the extraordinary general meeting, the Business Combination and other related business to be considered by ACE’s shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting is included in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. Whether or not you plan to attend the extraordinary general meeting, all of ACE’s shareholders are urged to read the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and other documents referred to therein, carefully and in their entirety. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 66 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

After careful consideration, the disinterested members of the board of directors of ACE have approved the Business Combination and recommend that shareholders vote “FOR” adoption of the Merger Agreement, and approval of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, and “FOR” all other proposals presented to ACE’s shareholders in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. When you consider the recommendation of these proposals by the board of directors of ACE, you should keep in mind that ACE’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section titled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of ACE’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a further discussion of these considerations.

The approval of each of the Domestication Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposals requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Business Combination Proposal, the Director Election Proposal, the Stock Issuance Proposal, the Incentive Award Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal require the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

Your vote is very important.  Whether or not you plan to attend the extraordinary general meeting, please vote as soon as possible by following the instructions in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus to make sure that your shares are represented at the extraordinary general meeting. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the extraordinary general meeting. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will be consummated only if the Condition Precedent Proposals are approved at the extraordinary general meeting. Each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal set forth in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted FOR each of the proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting. If you fail to return your proxy card or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote, and do not attend the extraordinary general meeting in person, the effect will be, among other things, that your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the extraordinary general meeting and will not be voted. An abstention or broker non-vote will be counted towards the quorum requirement but will not count as a vote cast at the extraordinary general meeting. If you are a shareholder of record and you attend the extraordinary general meeting and wish to vote in person, you may withdraw your proxy and vote in person.

TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS, YOU MUST DEMAND IN WRITING THAT YOUR PUBLIC SHARES ARE REDEEMED FOR A PRO RATA PORTION OF THE FUNDS HELD IN THE TRUST ACCOUNT AND TENDER YOUR SHARES TO ACE’S TRANSFER AGENT AT LEAST TWO BUSINESS DAYS PRIOR TO THE VOTE AT THE GENERAL MEETING. YOU MAY TENDER YOUR SHARES BY DELIVERING YOUR SHARES ELECTRONICALLY USING THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY’S DWAC (DEPOSIT WITHDRAWAL AT CUSTODIAN) SYSTEM. IF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION IS NOT COMPLETED, THEN THESE SHARES WILL BE RETURNED TO YOU OR YOUR ACCOUNT. IF YOU HOLD THE SHARES IN STREET NAME, YOU WILL NEED TO INSTRUCT THE ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE AT YOUR BANK OR BROKER TO WITHDRAW THE SHARES FROM YOUR ACCOUNT IN ORDER TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS.

No demands for redemption in connection with the business combination proposal described in the registration statement on Form S-4 that was declared effective on April 18, 2022, have been received by Continental on behalf of ACE. All demands for redemption made in connection with the January 2022 and July 2022 shareholder votes to extend the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination have been completed, and such shares have been redeemed.

On behalf of ACE’s board of directors, I would like to thank you for your support and look forward to the successful completion of the Business Combination.

Sincerely,

Behrooz Abdi
Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors

Each of Proposals No. 1 through 9 is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

These items of business are described in this proxy statement/prospectus, which we encourage you to read carefully and in its entirety before voting.

Only holders of record of ordinary shares at the close of business on       , 2022 are entitled to notice of and to vote and have their votes counted at the extraordinary general meeting and any adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting.

This proxy statement/prospectus and accompanying proxy card is being provided to ACE’s shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the extraordinary general meeting and at any adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the extraordinary general meeting, all of ACE’s shareholders are urged to read this proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and the documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 66 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

After careful consideration, the disinterested members of the board of directors of ACE have approved the Business Combination and recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” adoption of the Merger Agreement, and approval of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, and “FOR” all other proposals presented to ACE’s shareholders in this proxy statement/prospectus. When you consider the recommendation of these proposals by the board of directors of ACE, you should keep in mind that ACE’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section titled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of ACE’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” in this proxy statement/prospectus for a further discussion of these considerations.

Pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, a holder of public shares (as defined herein) (a “public shareholder”) may request of ACE that New Tempo redeem all or a portion of its public shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. As a holder of public shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

(i) (a) hold public shares, or (b) if you hold public shares through units, you elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares;

(ii) submit a written request to Continental, ACE’s transfer agent, that New Tempo redeem all or a portion of your public shares for cash; and

(iii) deliver your public shares to Continental, ACE’s transfer agent, electronically through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).

Holders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their public shares in the manner described above prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on                  , 2022 (two business days before the extraordinary general meeting) in order for their shares to be redeemed.

No demands for redemption in connection with the business combination proposal described in the registration statement on Form S-4 that was declared effective on April 18, 2022, have been received by Continental on behalf of ACE. All demands for redemption made in connection with the January 2022 and July 2022 shareholder votes to extend the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination have been completed, and such shares have been redeemed.

Holders of units must elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact Continental, ACE’s transfer agent, directly and instruct them to do so. Public shareholders may elect to redeem public shares regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the Business Combination Proposal. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the public shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank.

If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a public shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the public shares that it holds and timely delivers its shares to Continental, ACE’s transfer agent, New Tempo will redeem such public shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the trust account established at the consummation of our initial public offering (the “trust account”), calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, as of June 30, 2022, this would have amounted to approximately $10.17 per issued and outstanding public share. If a public shareholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its public shares for cash and will no longer own public shares. The redemption will take place following the Domestication and, accordingly, it is shares of New Tempo common stock that will be redeemed promptly after consummation of the Business Combination. See “Extraordinary General Meeting of ACE — Redemption Rights” in this proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your public shares for cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such public shareholder or any other person with whom such public shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the public shares without the prior consent of ACE. Accordingly, if a public shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash without the prior consent of ACE.

ACE Convergence Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and shareholder of ACE (the “Sponsor”), and ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, subject to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Sponsor Support Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2021, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B-1, as amended by the amendments thereto, dated as of July 6, 2022 and August 12, 2022, copies of which are attached as Annexes B-2 and B-3 to this proxy statement/prospectus (as may be further amended, the “Sponsor Support Agreement”) and to waive their redemption rights in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination with respect to any founder shares and ordinary shares held by them, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions contemplated in the letter agreement, dated as of July 27, 2020. As of the date of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, and due to (i) the redemption of 14,797,723 public shares in connection with the shareholder vote in January 2022 and (ii) the redemption of 4,256,979 public shares in connection with the shareholder vote in July 2022, in each case to approve the extension of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination, the Sponsor (including ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees) owns 59.31% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares. If ACE is not able to complete the Business Combination with Tempo or another business combination by October 13, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), then the Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any public shares they hold.

The Merger Agreement provides that the obligations of Tempo to consummate the Merger are conditioned on, among other things, that as of the Closing, (i) the amount of cash available in the trust account, after deducting the amount required to satisfy ACE’s obligations to its shareholders (if any) that exercise their rights to redeem their public shares pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents (but prior to the payment of any (x) deferred underwriting commissions being held in the trust account and (y) transaction expenses of ACE and Tempo) (such amount, the “Trust Amount”), plus (ii) the PIPE Investment Amount (as defined herein) actually received by ACE prior to or substantially concurrently with the Closing Date (as defined herein), plus (iii) the Available Credit Amount (as defined herein), plus (iv) the Available Cash Amount (the sum of (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), the “Available Acquiror Cash”), is at least equal to $10.0 million (the “Minimum Available Acquiror Cash Amount” and, such condition, the “Minimum Cash Condition”). This condition is for the sole benefit of Tempo. If such condition is not met, and such condition is not or cannot be waived under the terms of the Merger Agreement, then the Merger Agreement could terminate and the proposed Business Combination may not be consummated. In addition, the Merger Agreement provides that the obligations of ACE, Merger Sub and Tempo to consummate the Merger are conditioned on, among other things, that pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, in no event will ACE redeem public shares in an amount that would cause ACE’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) to be less than $5,000,001.

The Merger Agreement is also subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain other closing conditions as described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. There can be no assurance that the parties to the Merger Agreement would waive any such provision of the Merger Agreement.

ACE’s shareholders should be aware that Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. (“Citi”) has resigned from its roles as financial advisor to Tempo and as a placement agent to ACE in connection with the Merger effective as of May 19, 2022 and has disclaimed any responsibility for any portion of this proxy statement/​prospectus. ACE’s shareholders should not place any reliance on the participation of Citi prior to such resignation in the transactions contemplated by this proxy statement/prospectus.

The approval of each of the Domestication Proposal and Organizational Documents Proposals requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Business Combination Proposal, the Director Election Proposal, the Stock Issuance Proposal, the Incentive Award Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal require the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

Your vote is very important. Whether or not you plan to attend the extraordinary general meeting, please vote as soon as possible by following the instructions in this proxy statement/prospectus to make sure that your shares are represented at the extraordinary general meeting. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the extraordinary general meeting. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will be consummated only if the Condition Precedent Proposals are approved at the extraordinary general meeting. Each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted FOR each of the proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting. If you fail to return your proxy card or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote, and do not attend the extraordinary general meeting in person, the effect will be, among other things, that your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the extraordinary general meeting and will not be voted. An abstention or broker non-vote will be counted towards the quorum requirement but will not count as a vote cast at the extraordinary general meeting. If you are a shareholder of record and you attend the extraordinary general meeting and wish to vote in person, you may withdraw your proxy and vote in person.

Your attention is directed to the remainder of the proxy statement/prospectus following this notice (including the Annexes and other documents referred to herein) for a more complete description of the proposed Business Combination and related transactions and each of the proposals. You are encouraged to read this proxy statement/prospectus carefully and in its entirety, including the Annexes and other documents referred to herein. If you have any questions or need assistance voting your ordinary shares, please contact Morrow Sodali LLC, our proxy solicitor, by calling (800) 662-5200 or banks and brokers can call collect at (203) 658-9400, or by emailing ACEV.info@investor.morrowsodali.com.

When we and Tempo discuss strategies or plans, including as they relate to the potential Business Combination, we and Tempo are making projections, forecasts or forward- looking statements. Such statements are based on the beliefs of, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to, our and Tempo’s management.

Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us or Tempo. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us or Tempo will be those that ACE or Tempo have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond ACE’s control or the control of Tempo) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page 66 of this proxy statement/prospectus. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. ACE and Tempo undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

In addition, statements that “ACE believes,” “Tempo believes,” “New Tempo believes,” “we believe” and similar statements reflect our and Tempo’s beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us or Tempo, as the case may be, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, and while we or Tempo, as the case may be, believes such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and such statements should not be read to indicate that such party has conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements as predictions of future events.

Before any ACE shareholder grants its proxy or instructs how its vote should be cast or votes on the proposals to be put to the extraordinary general meeting, such stockholder should be aware that the occurrence of the events described in the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this proxy statement/ prospectus may adversely affect us.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FOR SHAREHOLDERS OF ACE

The questions and answers below highlight only selected information from this document and only briefly address some commonly asked questions about the proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting, including with respect to the proposed Business Combination. The following questions and answers do not include all the information that is important to ACE’s shareholders.

If you hold your shares through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to take additional steps to participate in the meeting, as described in this proxy statement.

Q: Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus?

A: ACE shareholders are being asked to consider and vote upon, among other proposals, a proposal to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Business Combination. The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things, the merger of Merger Sub with and into Tempo, with Tempo surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Tempo, in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement as more fully described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. See the section titled “Business Combination Proposal” for more detail.

Copies of the Merger Agreement are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annexes A-1 and A-2, and you are encouraged to read them in their entirety.

As a condition to the Merger, ACE will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by effecting a deregistration under the Cayman Islands Companies Act and a domestication under Section 388 of the DGCL, pursuant to which ACE’s jurisdiction of incorporation will be changed from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware. As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication, (1) each of the then issued and outstanding ACE Class A ordinary shares will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of New Tempo common stock; (2) each of the then issued and outstanding ACE Class B ordinary shares will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of New Tempo common stock; (3) each of the then issued and outstanding ACE warrants will convert automatically into a New Tempo warrant, pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, dated as of July 27, 2020, between ACE and Continental (the “Warrant Agreement”); and (4) each of the then issued and outstanding units of ACE will be cancelled and will entitle the holder thereof to one share of New Tempo common stock and one-half of one New Tempo warrant. See “Domestication Proposal” for additional information.

The provisions of the Proposed Organizational Documents will differ materially from the Cayman Constitutional Documents. Please see “What amendments will be made to the current constitutional documents of ACE?” below.

THE VOTE OF SHAREHOLDERS IS IMPORTANT. SHAREHOLDERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO VOTE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER CAREFULLY REVIEWING THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS, INCLUDING THE ANNEXES AND THE ACCOMPANYING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ACE AND TEMPO, CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY.

Q: What proposals are shareholders of ACE being asked to vote upon?

A: At the extraordinary general meeting, ACE is asking holders of ordinary shares to consider and vote upon:

● a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution the Merger and to adopt the Merger Agreement;

● a proposal to approve by special resolution the Domestication;

● the following four separate proposals to approve by special resolution the following material differences between the Cayman Constitutional Documents and the Proposed Organizational Documents, each to be effective upon the Domestication:

10

● to authorize the change in the authorized capital stock of ACE from (i) 500,000,000 ACE Class A ordinary shares, 50,000,000 ACE Class B ordinary shares and 5,000,000 preference shares, par value $0.0001 per share, to (ii) 600,000,000 shares of New Tempo common stock and 20,000,000 shares of New Tempo preferred stock;

● to authorize the Board to issue any or all shares of New Tempo preferred stock in one or more classes or series, with such terms and conditions as may be expressly determined by the Board and as may be permitted by the DGCL;

● to divide the Board into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term;

● to authorize all other changes in connection with the replacement of the Cayman Constitutional Documents with the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaws as part of the Domestication, including, (1) changing the corporate name from “ACE Convergence Acquisition Corp.” to “Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc.,” (2) adopting Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation, (3) removing certain provisions related to ACE’s status as a blank check company that will no longer be applicable upon consummation of the Business Combination, all of which ACE’s board of directors believes is necessary to adequately address the needs of New Tempo after the Business Combination, (4) providing that no action shall be taken by stockholders of New Tempo, except at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, (5) removing limitations on the corporate opportunity doctrine, (6) requiring the approval of the holders of 662∕3% of the then-outstanding capital stock of New Tempo to amend specified provisions of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, and (7) requiring the approval of the Board or the holders of 662∕3% of the then-outstanding capital stock of New Tempo to amend the Proposed Bylaws;

● a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution the election of directors to serve staggered terms, who, upon consummation of the Business Combination, will be the directors of New Tempo, to be effective as of the Closing;

● a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution, for purposes of complying with applicable listing rules of Nasdaq, the issuance of shares of New Tempo common stock in connection with the Business Combination, to be effective prior to or substantially concurrently with the Closing;

● a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution the 2022 Plan, to be effective prior to the Closing Date; and

● a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution the adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for the approval of one or more proposals at the extraordinary general meeting, to be effective as of the date of the extraordinary general meeting.

If ACE’s shareholders do not approve each of the Condition Precedent Proposals, then unless certain conditions in the Merger Agreement are waived by the applicable parties to the Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement could terminate and the Business Combination may not be consummated. See “Business Combination Proposal,” “Domestication Proposal,” “Organizational Documents Proposals,” “Director Election Proposal,” “Stock Issuance Proposal,” “Incentive Award Plan Proposal,” and “Adjournment Proposal.”

ACE will hold the extraordinary general meeting to consider and vote upon these proposals. This proxy statement/prospectus contains important information about the Business Combination and the other matters to be acted upon at the extraordinary general meeting. Shareholders of ACE should read it carefully.

After careful consideration, ACE’s board of directors have determined that the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, each of the Organizational Documents Proposals, the Director Election Proposal, the Stock Issuance Proposal, the Incentive Award Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are in the best interests of ACE and its shareholders and recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” each of those proposals.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of ACE’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of ACE and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself, or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, ACE’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a

11

shareholder. See the section titled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of ACE’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Q: Are the proposals conditioned on one another?

A: Yes. The Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of each of the Condition Precedent Proposals at the extraordinary general meeting. Each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal. If our stockholders do not approve each of the proposals, the Merger may not be consummated.

Q: Why is ACE proposing the Business Combination?

A: ACE was organized to effect a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination, with one or more businesses or entities.

Based on its due diligence investigations of Tempo and the industry in which it operates, including the financial and other information provided by Tempo in the course of ACE’s due diligence investigations, the ACE board of directors believes that the Business Combination with Tempo is in the best interests of ACE and its shareholders and presents an opportunity to increase shareholder value. However, there is no assurance of this. See “Business Combination Proposal — ACE’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Business Combination” for additional information.

Although ACE’s board of directors believes that the Business Combination with Tempo presents a unique business combination opportunity and is in the best interests of ACE and its shareholders, the board of directors did consider certain potentially material negative factors in arriving at that conclusion. These factors are discussed in greater detail in the section titled “Business Combination Proposal — ACE’s Board of Director’s Reasons for the Business Combination,” as well as in the sections entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Tempo’s Business and Industry.”

Q: What will Tempo Stockholders receive in return for ACE’s acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Tempo?

A: As a result of and upon the Closing, among other things, all outstanding shares of Tempo common stock (after giving effect to the Tempo Preferred Conversion, as described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus) as of immediately prior to the Closing, and, together with shares of Tempo common stock reserved in respect of Tempo Options outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing that will be converted into awards based on New Tempo common stock, will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, or the reservation of (in the case of the Tempo Options, if and to the extent earned and subject to their respective terms), an aggregate of approximately 25,792,701 shares of New Tempo common stock (at a deemed value of $10.00 per share) equal to the remainder of (a) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Base Purchase Price by (ii) $10.00, including, as applicable, a number of Tempo Earnout Shares(as defined below and as described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus) (the “Aggregate Merger Consideration”). For further details, see “Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement — Consideration — Aggregate Merger Consideration.” Additionally, Tempo has undertaken to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the holder of each outstanding and unexercised Tempo warrants to exercise such Tempo warrant in exchange for shares of Tempo common stock immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger. Holders of Tempo warrants may elect not to exercise such Tempo warrants in exchange for shares of Tempo common stock prior to the effective time of the Merger. Any Tempo warrants that remain issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into warrants to purchase shares of New Tempo common stock on substantially similar terms to the Tempo warrants.

Q: How will my Tempo Options be treated in the Business Combination?

A: At the Effective Time, each outstanding Tempo Option, whether or not then vested and exercisable, will be converted into a New Tempo Option covering a number of shares of New Tempo common stock equal to the number of shares subject to such Tempo Option prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Per Share Merger Consideration (rounded down to the nearest whole share), with a per share exercise price equal to the exercise price of such Tempo Option prior to the Effective Time divided by the Per Share Merger Consideration (rounded up to the nearest whole cent). In addition, following the Closing, Eligible Tempo Equityholders will be entitled to receive their pro rata share of the Tempo Earnout Shares if, during the Earnout Period, the applicable Earnout Triggering Events are attained and the applicable former holder continues to provide services to New Tempo or one of its subsidiaries at the time of such Earnout Triggering Event.

12

Q: What equity stake will current shareholders hold in New Tempo immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination?

A: As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are 9,695,298 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, which includes the 5,750,000 founder shares held by the Sponsor and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees and the 3,945,298 public shares. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are 18,100,000 warrants outstanding, which include the 6,600,000 private placement warrants held by the Sponsor and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees and the 11,500,000 public warrants. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one ACE Class A ordinary share and, following the Domestication, will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of New Tempo common stock. Therefore, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus (without giving effect to the Business Combination), the ACE fully diluted share capital would be 27,795,298.

Following the Business Combination, (1) ACE’s public shareholders are expected to own approximately 13.9% of the outstanding New Tempo common stock, (2) Tempo Stockholders (without taking into account any public shares held by Tempo Stockholders prior to the consummation of the Business Combination or shares of New Tempo stock issuable to holders of New Tempo Options) are expected to own approximately 51.2% of the outstanding New Tempo common stock, at a deemed value of $10.00 per share of New Tempo common stock and after giving effect to the Per Share Merger Consideration, (3) the Sponsor and related parties (including the Sponsor Related PIPE Investors) are expected to collectively own approximately 22.1% of the outstanding New Tempo common stock (taking into account the SSA Exchange), (4) CFPI is expected to own approximately 4.1% of the outstanding New Tempo common stock and (5) the Third Party PIPE Investors are expected to own approximately 8.7% of the outstanding New Tempo common stock. These percentages assume (i) that no public shareholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination and no exercise of the public and private warrants or options or issuance of any shares of New Tempo common stock in connection with the Tempo Earnout Shares, (iii) that (x) New Tempo issues or reserves for issuance 14,542,197 shares of New Tempo common stock to Tempo Stockholders as part of the Aggregate Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement and (y) New Tempo issues 3,050,000 shares of New Tempo common stock to the PIPE Investors pursuant to the PIPE Investment, and (iv) 1,155,000 shares of New Tempo to CFPI for their commitment fee under the Cantor Purchase Agreement and as consideration to settle deferred underwriting commissions incurred during ACE’s IPO. If the actual facts are different from these assumptions, the percentage ownership retained by current ACE shareholders and Tempo Stockholders in New Tempo will be different.

The following table illustrates varying ownership levels in New Tempo immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination based on the assumptions above.

	Share Ownership in New Tempo
				Pro Forma Combined
	Pro Forma Combined			(Assuming Maximum
	(Assuming No Redemptions)			Redemptions)(1)
	Number of	%		Number of	%
	Shares	Ownership		Shares	Ownership
Tempo Stockholders(2)(3)(6)(7)	14,542,197	51.2	%	14,542,197	55.1	%
ACE’s public shareholders	3,945,298	13.9	%	954,686	3.6	%
Sponsor & related parties(4)(6)	6,288,755	22.1	%	6,102,925	23.1	%
Third Party PIPE Investors(7)	2,469,047	8.7	%	3,654,878	13.8	%
CFPI(5)	1,155,000	4.1	%	1,155,000	4.4	%
Total	28,400,297	100	%	26,409,686	100	%

(1) Assumes maximum redemptions of 2,990,612 Class A ordinary shares of ACE in connection with the Business Combination at approximately $10.16 per share based on trust account figures as of June 30, 2022, and including the expected proceeds received from the Promissory Note with the Sponsor. As of     , 2022, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor’s obligation is approximately $      per public share.

(2) Following the Closing, the Eligible Tempo Equityholders will have the right to receive up to 7,000,000 Tempo Earnout Shares in two tranches upon the occurrence of the Earnout Triggering Events during the Earnout Period. Because the Tempo Earnout Shares are contingently issuable based upon meeting certain operating metrics that have not yet been achieved, the pro forma New Tempo common stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Business Combination excludes the 7,000,000 Tempo Earnout Shares.

13

(3) Includes an estimated 3,727,260 shares of New Tempo common stock expected to be issued to Tempo warrant holders, net of expected exercise proceeds, and excludes an estimated 610,197 shares of New Tempo common stock to be reserved for potential future issuance upon the exercise of New Tempo Options.

(4) Includes 200,000 shares subscribed for by the Sponsor Related PIPE Investors and 3,750,000 shares beneficially owned by the directors and officers of ACE and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees (taking into account the SSA Exchange).

(5) Includes 1,155,000 New Tempo shares issued to CFPI for their $3.5 million commitment fee under the Cantor Purchase Agreement and to settle ACE’s existing deferred underwriting commissions of $8.1 million as of June 30, 2022.

(6) Includes New Tempo common stock issued to Tempo Stockholders and the Sponsor and related parties upon conversion of the August 2022 Bridge Notes. By virtue of the Merger, Tempo Stockholders and the Sponsor and related parties who hold August 2022 Bridge Notes, are expected to receive 3,973,827 and 1,957,803 shares of New Tempo common stock, respectively.

(7) Certain Third Party PIPE Investors are also existing Tempo Stockholders. Accordingly, the same shareholders may be included in both shareholder categories.

For further details, see “Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement — Consideration — Aggregate Merger Consideration.”

Q: How has the announcement of the Business Combination affected the trading price of the Company’s Class A common stock?

A: On October 13, 2021, the trading date before the public announcement of the Business Combination, ACE’s public units, Class A ordinary shares and warrants closed at $10.14, $9.92 and $0.58, respectively. As of           , 2022, the record date for the extraordinary general meeting, the most recent closing price for each unit, common stock and redeemable warrant was $     , $      and $     , respectively.

Q: Will the Company obtain new financing in connection with the Business Combination?

A: Yes. Certain PIPE Investors have agreed to purchase an aggregate of 550,000 shares of New Tempo common stock in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, for aggregate gross proceeds of $5.5 million. The PIPE Investment is contingent upon, among other things, the Closing. See “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — PIPE Subscription Agreements.”

In addition, on March 16, 2022, ACE entered into the Cantor Purchase Agreement with CF Principal relating to a committed equity facility (the “Facility”). Pursuant to the Cantor Purchase Agreement, New Tempo will have the right from time to time at its option following closing of the Business Combination to sell to CFPI up to $100.0 million of New Tempo common stock subject to certain customary conditions and limitations set forth in the Cantor Purchase Agreement. For additional information, see “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Cantor Purchase Agreement.”

Q: What are the material differences, if any, in the terms and price of securities issued at the time of the IPO as compared to the securities that will be issued as part of the PIPE Investment (including the issuance of the PIPE Incentive Shares) at the Effective Time?

A: On July 30, 2020, ACE consummated its IPO, pursuant to which it issued and sold 23,000,000 ACE units at an offering price of $10.00 per ACE unit, with each ACE unit consisting of one ACE Class A ordinary share and one-half of one public warrant. At the Effective Time, each of the then issued and outstanding ACE units that have not been previously separated into the underlying ACE Class A ordinary shares and public warrants upon the request of the holder thereof, will be cancelled and will entitle the holder thereof to one share of New Tempo common stock and one-half of one New Tempo warrant. As of August 31, 2022, the closing price on Nasdaq of ACE Class A ordinary shares was $10.20 per share, and the closing price of the ACE warrants was $0.11 per ACE warrant. Therefore, based on such closing price on August 31, 2022, each holder of an ACE unit at Closing would receive one share of New Tempo common stock, valued at $10.20, and one-half of one New Tempo warrant, valued at approximately $0.06, in exchange for the $10.00 ACE unit such holder originally purchased in the ACE IPO.

14

On September 7, 2022, ACE entered into the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements with each of the PIPE Investors, pursuant to which the PIPE Investors have agreed to purchase an aggregate of 550,000 shares of New Tempo common stock.

Pursuant to the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements, ACE will issue additional shares of New Tempo common stock to each PIPE Investor in the event that the volume weighted average price per share of New Tempo common stock (the “Measurement Period VWAP”) during the 30 days commencing on the date on which a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of New Tempo common stock acquired by such PIPE Investors (the “PIPE Resale Registration Statement”) is declared effective is less than $10.00 per share. In such case, each PIPE Investor will be entitled to receive a number of shares of New Tempo common stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of New Tempo common stock issued to such PIPE Investor at the closing of the subscription and held by such PIPE Investor through the date that is 30 days after the effective date of the PIPE Resale Registration Statement (the “Measurement Date”) multiplied by (y) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is $10.00 minus the Adjustment Period VWAP (as defined below) and (B) the denominator of which is the Adjustment Period VWAP. In the event that the Adjustment Period VWAP is less than $4.00 (the “Price Floor Value”), the Adjustment Period VWAP shall be deemed to be the Price Floor Value.

ACE will also issue up to 500,000 additional shares of New Tempo common stock to each such PIPE Investor in the event that the Additional Period VWAP (as defined below) is less than the Adjustment Period VWAP. In such case, each such PIPE Investor will be entitled to receive a number of shares of New Tempo common stock equal to the lesser of (1) such PIPE Investor’s pro rata portion of 500,000 additional shares of New Tempo common stock, and (2) (i) (A) (x) the number of shares issued to such PIPE Investor pursuant to such subscription agreement and held by such PIPE Investor on the last day of the 30 calendar day period ending on the date that is 15 months following the closing of the subscriptions (such 30 calendar day period, the “Additional Period”), times (y) the Adjustment Period VWAP, minus the average of the volume weighted average price of a share of New Tempo common stock determined for each of the trading days during the Additional Period (the “Additional Period VWAP”), minus (B) the number of PIPE Incentive Shares, times the Additional Period VWAP, divided by (ii) the Additional Period VWAP.

Additionally, ACE will issue up to 2,000,000 additional shares (the “PIPE Incentive Shares”) to such PIPE Investors on a pro rata basis with respect to each PIPE Investor’s subscription amount as an incentive to subscribe for and purchase the shares under the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements.

The obligation of the parties to consummate the purchase and sale of the shares covered by the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements is conditioned upon, among other things, there not being in force any injunction or order enjoining or prohibiting the issuance and sale of the shares covered by the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements and satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent to the Closing under the Merger Agreement. The closings under the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements will occur substantially concurrently with the Closing. For additional information, see “Business Combination Proposal - Related Agreements - PIPE Subscription Agreements.”

The shares of New Tempo common stock to be issued in the PIPE Investment will be identical to the shares of New Tempo common stock that will be held by ACE’s public stockholders at the time of Closing, except that the shares of New Tempo common stock issued in the PIPE Investment will not be registered with the SEC.

Q: Why is ACE proposing the Domestication?

A: Our board of directors believes that there are significant advantages to us that will arise as a result of a change of ACE’s domicile to Delaware. Further, ACE’s board of directors believes that any direct benefit that the DGCL provides to a corporation also indirectly benefits its stockholders, who are the owners of the corporation. ACE’s board of directors believes that there are several reasons why a reincorporation in Delaware is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, including, (i) the prominence, predictability, and flexibility of the DGCL, (ii) Delaware’s well-established principles of corporate governance and (iii) the increased ability for Delaware corporations to attract and retain qualified directors. Each of the foregoing are discussed in greater detail in the section titled “Domestication Proposal — Reasons for the Domestication.”

To effect the Domestication, ACE will file a notice of deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and file a certificate of incorporation and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which ACE will be domesticated and continue as a Delaware corporation.

15

The approval of the Domestication Proposal is a condition to the closing of the Merger under the Merger Agreement. The approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution under the Cayman Islands Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

Q: What amendments will be made to the current constitutional documents of ACE?

A: The consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned, among other things, on the Domestication. Accordingly, in addition to voting on the Business Combination, ACE’s shareholders are also being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Domestication and replace ACE’s Cayman Constitutional Documents, in each case, under the Cayman Islands Companies Act, with the Proposed Organizational Documents, in each case, under the DGCL, which differ materially from the Cayman Constitutional Documents in several respects, including the following:

	Cayman Constitutional Documents	Proposed Organizational Documents
Authorized Shares (Organizational Documents Proposal A)	The Cayman Constitutional Documents authorize 555,000,000 shares, consisting of 500,000,000 ACE Class A ordinary shares, 50,000,000 ACE Class B ordinary shares and 5,000,000 preference shares.	The Proposed Organizational Documents authorize 620,000,000 shares, consisting of 600,000,000 shares of New Tempo common stock and 20,000,000 shares of New Tempo preferred stock.
	See paragraph 7 of the Existing Memorandum.	See Article Fourth of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.
Authorize the Board of Directors to Issue Preferred Stock Without Stockholder Consent (Organizational Documents Proposal B)	The Cayman Constitutional Documents authorize the issuance of 5,000,000 preference shares with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by ACE’s board of directors. Accordingly, ACE’s board of directors is empowered under the Cayman Constitutional Documents, without shareholder approval, to issue preferred shares with dividend, liquidation, redemption, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of ordinary shares (except to the extent it may affect the ability of ACE to carry out a conversion of ACE Class B ordinary shares on the Closing Date, as contemplated by the Existing Articles).	The Proposed Organizational Documents authorize the Board to issue all or any shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix for each such series such voting powers, full or limited, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof, as the Board may determine.
	See paragraph 7 of the Existing Memorandum and Articles 9 and 28 of the Existing Articles.	See Article Fourth, subsection (B) of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.
Classified Board (Organizational Documents Proposal C)	The Cayman Constitutional Documents do not contain a provision that provides the number of classes of ACE’s board of directors.	The Proposed Organizational Documents provide that the Board be divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term. See Article Fifth, subsection (A) of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.

16

	Cayman Constitutional Documents	Proposed Organizational Documents
Corporate Name (Organizational Documents Proposal D)	The Cayman Constitutional Documents provide that the name of the company is “ACE Convergence Acquisition Corp.”	The Proposed Organizational Documents provide that the name of the corporation will be “Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc.”
	See paragraph 1 of the Existing Memorandum.	See Article First of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.
Perpetual Existence (Organizational Documents Proposal D)	The Cayman Constitutional Documents provide that if ACE does not consummate a business combination (as defined in the Cayman Constitutional Documents) by October 13, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), ACE will cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up and will redeem the public shares and liquidate ACE’s trust account.	The Proposed Organizational Documents do not include any provisions relating to New Tempo’s ongoing existence; the default under the DGCL will make New Tempo’s existence perpetual.
	See Article 17 of the Cayman Constitutional Documents.	Default rule under the DGCL.
Exclusive Forum (Organizational Documents Proposal D)	The Cayman Constitutional Documents do not contain a provision adopting an exclusive forum for certain shareholder litigation.	The Proposed Organizational Documents adopt Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation. See Article Tenth of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.
Takeovers by Interested Stockholders (Organizational Documents Proposal D)	The Cayman Constitutional Documents do not provide restrictions on takeovers of ACE by a related shareholder following a business combination.	The Proposed Organizational Documents will have New Tempo governed by Section 203 of the DGCL relating to takeovers by interested stockholders. Default rule under the DGCL.
Provisions Related to Status as Blank Check Company (Organizational Documents Proposal D)	The Cayman Constitutional Documents include various provisions related to ACE’s status as a blank check company prior to the consummation of a business combination.	The Proposed Organizational Documents do not include such provisions related to ACE’s status as a blank check company, which no longer will apply upon consummation of the Merger, as ACE will cease to be a blank check company at such time.
	See Article 17 of the Cayman Constitutional Documents.

Q: How will the Domestication affect my ordinary shares, warrants and units?

A: As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication, (1) each of the then issued and outstanding ACE Class A ordinary shares will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of New Tempo common stock, (2) each of the then issued and outstanding ACE Class B ordinary shares will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of New Tempo common stock; (3) each of the then issued and outstanding ACE warrants will convert automatically into a New Tempo warrant, pursuant to the Warrant Agreement and (4) each of the then issued and outstanding units of ACE will be cancelled and will entitle

17

the holder thereof to one share of New Tempo common stock and one-half of one New Tempo warrant. See “Domestication Proposal” for additional information.

Q: What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication?

A: As discussed more fully under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP has delivered an opinion that the Domestication will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(l)(F) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Assuming that the Domestication so qualifies, U.S. Holders (as defined in “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”) will be subject to Section 367(b) of the Code and, as a result:

● A U.S. Holder whose ACE Class A ordinary shares have a fair market value of less than $50,000 on the date of the Domestication will not recognize any gain or loss and will not be required to include any part of ACE’s earnings in income;

● A U.S. Holder whose ACE Class A ordinary shares have a fair market value of $50,000 or more and who, on the date of the Domestication, owns (actually or constructively) less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of ACE stock entitled to vote and less than 10% of the total value of all classes of ACE stock will generally recognize gain (but not loss) on the exchange of ACE Class A ordinary shares for New Tempo common stock pursuant to the Domestication. As an alternative to recognizing gain, such U.S. Holder may file an election to include in income as a deemed dividend the “all earnings and profits amount” (as defined in the Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code) attributable to its ACE Class A ordinary shares provided certain other requirements are satisfied; and

● A U.S. Holder whose ACE Class A ordinary shares have a fair market value of $50,000 or more and who, on the date of the Domestication, owns (actually or constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of ACE stock entitled to vote or 10% or more of the total value of all classes of ACE stock will generally be required to include in income as a deemed dividend all earnings and profits amount attributable to its ACE Class A ordinary shares.

ACE does not expect to have significant cumulative earnings and profits, if any, on the date of the Domestication.

As discussed more fully under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” ACE believes that it is likely classified as a “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In such case, notwithstanding the foregoing U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication, proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code (which have a retroactive effective date), if finalized in their current form, would generally require a U.S. Holder to recognize gain on the exchange of ACE Class A ordinary shares or warrants for New Tempo common stock or warrants pursuant to the Domestication. Any such gain would be taxable income with no corresponding receipt of cash in the Domestication. The tax on any such gain would be imposed at the rate applicable to ordinary income and an interest charge would apply based on a complex set of rules. However, it is difficult to predict whether, in what form, and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code may be adopted and how any such Treasury Regulations would apply. Importantly, however, U.S. Holders that make or have made certain elections discussed further under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — PFIC Considerations — D. QEF Election and Mark-to-Market Election” with respect to their ACE Class A ordinary shares are generally not subject to the same gain recognition rules under the currently proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code. Currently, there are no elections available that apply to ACE warrants, and the application of the PFIC rules to ACE warrants is unclear. For a more complete discussion of the potential application of the PFIC rules to U.S. Holders as a result of the Domestication, see “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Each U.S. Holder of ACE Class A ordinary shares or warrants is urged to consult its own tax advisor concerning the application of the PFIC rules, including the proposed Treasury Regulations, to the exchange of ACE Class A ordinary shares and warrants for New Tempo common stock and warrants pursuant to the Domestication.

Additionally, the Domestication may cause non-U.S. Holders (as defined in “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”) to become subject to U.S. federal income withholding taxes on any amounts treated as dividends paid in respect of such non-U.S. Holder’s New Tempo common stock after the Domestication.

The tax consequences of the Domestication are complex and will depend on a holder’s particular circumstances. All holders are urged to consult their tax advisor regarding the tax consequences to them of the Domestication, including the applicability and

18

effect of U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax laws. For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Domestication, see “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Q: Do I have redemption rights?

A: If you are a holder of public shares, you have the right to request that we redeem all or a portion of your public shares for cash provided that you follow the procedures and deadlines described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Public shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of the public shares held by them regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the Business Combination Proposal. If you wish to exercise your redemption rights, please see the answer to the next question: “How do I exercise my redemption rights?”

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such public shareholder or any other person with whom such public shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the public shares without the prior consent of ACE. Accordingly, if a public shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash without the prior consent of ACE.

The Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers, and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to all of the founder shares and ordinary shares held by them in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, subject to the terms and conditions contemplated in the letter agreement, dated as of July 27, 2020.

Q: How do I exercise my redemption rights?

A: If you are a public shareholder and wish to exercise your right to redeem the public shares, you must:

(i) (a) hold public shares, or (b) if you hold public shares through units, elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares;

(ii) submit a written request to Continental, ACE’s transfer agent, that New Tempo redeem all or a portion of your public shares for cash; and

(iii) deliver your public shares to Continental, ACE’s transfer agent, electronically through the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).

Holders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their public shares in the manner described above prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on           , 2022 (two business days before the extraordinary general meeting) in order for their shares to be redeemed.

The address of Continental, ACE’s transfer agent, is listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

Holders of units must elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact Continental, ACE’s transfer agent, directly and instruct them to do so.

Public shareholders will be entitled to request that their public shares be redeemed for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the trust account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us (net of taxes payable). For illustrative purposes, as of June 30, 2022, this would have amounted to approximately $10.17 per issued and outstanding public share. However, the proceeds deposited in the trust account could become subject to the claims of ACE’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the public shareholders, regardless of whether such public shareholder votes or, if they do vote, irrespective of if they vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal. Therefore, the per share distribution from the trust account in such a situation may be less than originally expected due to such claims. Whether you vote, and if you do vote irrespective of how you vote, on any proposal, including the Business Combination Proposal, will have no impact on the amount

19

you will receive upon exercise of your redemption rights. It is expected that the funds to be distributed to public shareholders electing to redeem their public shares will be distributed promptly after the consummation of the Business Combination.

Any request for redemption, once made by a holder of public shares, may be withdrawn at any time up to the time the vote is taken with respect to the Business Combination Proposal at the extraordinary general meeting. If you deliver your shares for redemption to Continental, ACE’s transfer agent, and later decide prior to the extraordinary general meeting not to elect redemption, you may request that ACE’s transfer agent return the shares (electronically) to you. You may make such request by contacting Continental, ACE’s transfer agent, at the phone number or address listed at the end of this section. Any corrected or changed written exercise of redemption rights must be received by Continental, ACE’s transfer agent, prior to the vote taken on the Business Combination Proposal at the extraordinary general meeting. If you deliver your public shares for redemption to Continental and later decide prior to the extraordinary general meeting not to elect redemption, you may request that Continental return the shares (electronically). No request for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s public shares have been delivered (electronically) to Continental, ACE’s agent, at least two business days prior to the vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

If a holder of public shares properly makes a request for redemption and the public shares are delivered as described above, then, if the Business Combination is consummated, New Tempo will redeem the public shares for a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. The redemption will take place following the Domestication and, accordingly, it is shares of New Tempo common stock that will be redeemed immediately after consummation of the Business Combination.

If you are a holder of public shares and you exercise your redemption rights, such exercise will not result in the loss of any warrants that you may hold.

No demands for redemption in connection with the business combination proposal described in the registration statement on Form S-4 that was declared effective on April 18, 2022, have been received by Continental on behalf of ACE. All demands for redemption made in connection with the January 2022 and July 2022 shareholder votes to extend the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination have been completed, and such shares have been redeemed.

Q: If I am a holder of units, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my units?

A: No. Holders of issued and outstanding units must elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If you hold your units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must notify your broker or bank that you elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants, or if you hold units registered in your own name, you must contact Continental, ACE’s transfer agent, directly and instruct them to do so. You are requested to cause your public shares to be separated and delivered to Continental, ACE’s transfer agent, by 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on           , 2022 (two business days before the extraordinary general meeting) in order to exercise your redemption rights with respect to your public shares.

Q: What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?

A: In most circumstances, it is expected that a U.S. Holder (as defined in “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”) that exercises its redemption rights to receive cash from the trust account in exchange for its New Tempo common stock will generally be treated as selling such New Tempo common stock resulting in the recognition of capital gain or capital loss. There may be certain circumstances, however, in which the redemption may be treated as a distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes depending on the amount of New Tempo common stock that such U.S. Holder owns or is deemed to own under certain constructive attribution rules (including through the ownership of warrants). For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of an exercise of redemption rights, see “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Additionally, because the Domestication will occur immediately prior to the redemption of any shareholder, holders exercising redemption rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of Section 367 of the Code as well as potential tax consequences of the U.S. federal income tax rules relating to PFICs. The tax consequences of Section 367 of the Code and the PFIC rules are discussed more fully below under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

All holders considering exercising redemption rights are urged to consult their tax advisor on the tax consequences to them of an exercise of redemption rights, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax laws.

Q: What happens to the funds deposited in the trust account after consummation of the Business Combination?

A: Following the closing of ACE’s initial public offering, an amount equal to $230.0 million ($10.00 per unit) of the net proceeds from ACE’s initial public offering and the sale of the private placement warrants was placed in the trust account. As of June 30, 2022, funds in the trust account totaled approximately $83.4 million in cash. Prior to June 2022, the funds in the trust account were comprised entirely of U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or of money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. These funds will remain in the trust account, except for the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, if any, until the earliest of (1) the completion of a business combination (including the Closing), (2) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Cayman Constitutional Documents (A) to modify the substance or timing of ACE’s obligation to allow for redemption in connection with ACE’s initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if it does not complete a business combination by October 13, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity and (3) the redemption of all of the public shares if ACE is unable to complete a business combination by October 13, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), subject to applicable law.

With respect to the regulation of special purpose acquisition companies like ACE (“SPACs”), on March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules (the “SPAC Rule Proposals”) relating to, among other items, disclosures in business combination transactions involving SPACs and private operating companies; the condensed financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; the use of projections by SPACs in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination transactions; the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, including a proposed rule that would provide SPACs a safe harbor from treatment as an investment company if they satisfy certain conditions that limit a SPAC’s duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities.

With regard to the SEC’s investment company proposals included in the SPAC Rule Proposals, while the funds in the trust account have, since ACE’s initial public offering, been held only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasuries, to mitigate the risk of being viewed as operating an unregistered investment company (including pursuant to the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940), on June 22, 2022, ACE instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee managing the trust account, to hold all funds in the trust account in cash until the earlier of consummation of the Business Combination and liquidation of ACE.

On January 13, 2022, ACE entered into a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Sponsor Loan”) with the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to contribute to ACE as a loan $0.03 for each Class A ordinary share of ACE that was not redeemed in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the extension of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination (which extension was approved at an annual general meeting of shareholders of ACE on January 21, 2022) for each month (or a pro rata portion thereof if less than a month) until the earlier of (i) the date of the extraordinary general meeting held in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the Business Combination and (ii) $1.5 million has been loaned. Such contributions will be deposited into the trust account. Additionally, in connection with the shareholder approval of such extension in January 2022, certain shareholders elected to redeem an aggregate of 14,797,723 public shares, or approximately 64.34%. Such redemption demands have been completed and such shares have been redeemed. As a result, approximately $148,079,821 was paid out of the trust account in connection with such redemptions.

On June 30, 2022, ACE and the Sponsor amended and restated the Sponsor Loan in its entirety to, among other things, increase the aggregate principal amount available thereunder from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000, contingent upon the approval by ACE’s shareholders of the extension of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination to October 13, 2022 (the “Extension Proposal”), which proposal was approved in July 2022. Monthly deposits into the trust account following the July 2022 redemptions are based on the number of public shares still outstanding following such redemptions. Therefore, assuming the Sponsor makes the maximum amount of monthly contributions, ACE estimates that the per-share price at which public shares could be redeemed from cash held in the trust account would be approximately $10.27 at the time of the extraordinary general meeting to be held in connection with the Business Combination. Additionally, in connection with the shareholder approval of such extension in July 2022, certain shareholders elected to redeem an aggregate of 4,256,979 public shares, or approximately 51.90%. Such redemption demands have been completed and such shares have been redeemed. As a result, approximately $43,349,494 was paid out of the trust account in connection with such redemptions.

21

On August 28, 2022, ACE and the Sponsor amended and restated the Sponsor Loan in its entirety to, among other things, increase the aggregate principal amount available thereunder from $2,000,000 to $2,125,000, the effectiveness of which is conditioned upon the approval by ACE’s shareholders of the proposal to amend ACE’s Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which ACE must consummate an initial business combination from October 13, 2022, to January 30, 2023. Monthly deposits into ACE’s trust account following such extension will be based on the number of public shares still outstanding following such extension. Therefore, assuming such extension is approved and assuming the Sponsor makes the maximum amount of monthly contributions, ACE estimates that the per-share price at which public shares could be redeemed from cash held in the trust account would be approximately $10.37 on January 30, 2023.

There have been two redemption events: one in January 2022, in which 14,797,723 shares were redeemed, and one in July 2022, in which 4,256,979 shares were redeemed. As of August 31, 2022, there are 3,945,298 ACE Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding All demands for redemption made in connection with the shareholder votes to extend the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination have been completed, and such shares have been redeemed.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the funds deposited in the trust account will be released to pay holders of ACE public shares who properly exercise their redemption rights; to pay certain transaction fees and expenses associated with the Business Combination; and for working capital and general corporate purposes of New Tempo following the Business Combination. See “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus — Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination.”

Q: What happens if a substantial number of the public shareholders vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and exercise their redemption rights?

A: Our public shareholders are not required to vote in respect of the Business Combination in order to exercise their redemption rights. Accordingly, the Business Combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the trust account and the number of public shareholders are reduced as a result of redemptions by public shareholders.

The Merger Agreement provides that the obligations of Tempo to consummate the Merger are conditioned on, among other things, that as of the Closing, the Available Acquiror Cash is at least equal to the Minimum Available Cash Amount. If such conditions are not met, and such conditions are not or cannot be waived under the terms of the Merger Agreement, then the Merger Agreement could terminate and the proposed Business Combination may not be consummated. In addition, in no event will we redeem public shares in an amount that would cause ACE’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a5 1-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) to be less than $5,000,001.

Q: What conditions must be satisfied to complete the Business Combination?

A: The Merger Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions, including, among others, (i) approval of the Business Combination and related agreements and transactions by the respective shareholders of ACE and Tempo, (ii) effectiveness of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part of, (iii) expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act, (iv) receipt of approval for listing on Nasdaq the shares of New Tempo common stock to be issued in connection with the Merger, (v) that ACE have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets upon Closing and (vi) the absence of any injunctions.

For more information about conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination, see “Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement.”

Q: When do you expect the Business Combination to be completed?

A: It is currently expected that the Business Combination will be consummated in the fourth quarter of 2022. This date depends, among other things, on the approval of the proposals to be put to ACE shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting. However, such meeting could be adjourned if the Adjournment Proposal is adopted by ACE’s shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting and ACE elects to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for the approval of one or more proposals at the extraordinary general meeting. For a description of the conditions for the completion of the Business Combination, see “Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement.”

Q: What happens if the Business Combination is not consummated?

A: ACE will not complete the Domestication to Delaware unless all other conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination have been satisfied or waived by the parties in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. If ACE is not able to complete the Business Combination with Tempo or another business combination by October 13, 2022, in each case, as such date may be extended pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, ACE will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Sponsor and directors and officers of ACE at the time of ACE’s initial public offering agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to all of the Founder Shares and any public shares held by them.

Q: Do I have appraisal rights in connection with the proposed Business Combination and the proposed Domestication?

A: Neither ACE’s shareholders nor ACE’s warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Domestication under the Cayman Islands Companies Act or under the DGCL.

Q: What do I need to do now?

A: ACE urges you to read this proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and the documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety and to consider how the Business Combination will affect you as a shareholder or warrant holder. ACE’s shareholders should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement/prospectus and on the enclosed proxy card.

Q: How do I vote?

A: If you are a holder of record of ordinary shares on the record date for the extraordinary general meeting, you may vote in person at the extraordinary general meeting or by submitting a proxy for the extraordinary general meeting. While you will be permitted to observe the proceedings of the extraordinary general meeting virtually via live webcast, you will not be able to vote via live webcast, and such virtual participation will not be counted for the purpose of establishing a quorum. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating, and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage-paid envelope. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, you should contact your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the broker, bank or nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the extraordinary general meeting and vote in person, obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.

Q: If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?

A: No. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial holder” of the shares held for you in what is known as “street name.” If this is the case, this proxy statement/prospectus may have been forwarded to you by your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, or its agent, and you may need to obtain a proxy form from the institution that holds your shares and follow the instructions included on that form regarding how to instruct your broker, bank or nominee as to how to vote your shares. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank, or nominee. We believe all the proposals presented to the shareholders will be considered non-discretionary and therefore your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction. Your bank, broker, or other nominee can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. As the beneficial holder, you have the right to direct your broker, bank, or other nominee as to how to vote your shares and you should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide. If you do not provide voting

23

instructions to your broker on a particular proposal on which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote, your shares will not be voted on that proposal. This is called a “broker non-vote.” Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal.

Q: When and where will the extraordinary general meeting be held?

A: The extraordinary general meeting will be held at          a.m., Eastern Time, on           , 2022, at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, located at 525 University Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94301, or virtually via live webcast at           ,unless the extraordinary general meeting is adjourned.

Q: Who is entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting?

A: ACE has fixed           , 2022 as the record date for the extraordinary general meeting. If you were a shareholder of ACE at the close of business on the record date, you are entitled to vote on matters that come before the extraordinary general meeting. However, a shareholder may only vote his or her shares if he or she is present in person or is represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting.

Q: How many votes do I have?

A: ACE shareholders are entitled to one vote at the extraordinary general meeting for each ordinary share held of record as of the record date. As of the close of business on the record date for the extraordinary general meeting, there were 9,695,298 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, of which 3,945,298 were issued and outstanding public shares.

Q: What constitutes a quorum?

A: A quorum of ACE shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the extraordinary general meeting if the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting are represented in person or by proxy. While ACE shareholders will be permitted to observe the proceedings of the extraordinary general meeting virtually via live webcast, such shareholders will not be able to vote via live webcast, and such virtual participation will not be counted for the purposes of establishing a quorum. As of the record date for the extraordinary general meeting, 6,976,139 ordinary shares would be required to achieve a quorum.

Q: What vote is required to approve each proposal at the extraordinary general meeting?

A: The following votes are required for each proposal at the extraordinary general meeting:

(i) Business Combination Proposal:   The Business Combination Proposal may be approved by an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees have agreed to vote their shares in favor of each of the proposals presented herein. As a result, assuming all outstanding shares are represented in person or by proxy, the affirmative vote of additional public shares is not required to approve this proposal.

(ii) Domestication Proposal:   The approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees have agreed to vote their shares in favor of each of the proposals presented herein. As a result, assuming all outstanding shares are represented in person or by proxy, only the affirmative vote of 713,532 additional public shares, or approximately 18.09%, is required to approve this proposal.

(iii) Organizational Documents Proposals:   The separate approval of each of the Organizational Documents Proposals requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees have agreed to vote their shares in favor of each of the proposals presented herein. As a result, assuming all outstanding shares are

24

represented in person or by proxy, only the affirmative vote of 713,532 additional public shares, or approximately 18.09%, is required to approve this proposal.

(iv) Director Election Proposal:   The Director Election Proposal may be approved by an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees have agreed to vote their shares in favor of each of the proposals presented herein. As a result, assuming all outstanding shares are represented in person or by proxy, the affirmative vote of additional public shares is not required to approve this proposal.

(v) Stock Issuance Proposal:   The Stock Issuance Proposal may be approved by an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees have agreed to vote their shares in favor of each of the proposals presented herein. As a result, assuming all outstanding shares are represented in person or by proxy, the affirmative vote of additional public shares is not required to approve this proposal.

(vi) Incentive Award Plan Proposal:   The Incentive Award Plan Proposal may be approved by an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees have agreed to vote their shares in favor of each of the proposals presented herein. As a result, assuming all outstanding shares are represented in person or by proxy, the affirmative vote of additional public shares is not required to approve this proposal.

(vii) Adjournment Proposal:    The Adjournment Proposal may be approved by an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees have agreed to vote their shares in favor of each of the proposals presented herein. As a result, assuming all outstanding shares are represented in person or by proxy, the affirmative vote of additional public shares is not required to approve this proposal.

Q: What are the recommendations of ACE’s board of directors?

A: ACE’s board of directors believes that the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting are in the best interest of ACE’s shareholders and recommends that its shareholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Domestication Proposal, “FOR” each of the separate Organizational Documents Proposals, “FOR” the Director Election Proposal, “FOR” the Stock Issuance Proposal, “FOR” the Incentive Award Plan Proposal, and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented to the extraordinary general meeting.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of ACE’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of ACE and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself, or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, ACE’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section titled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of ACE’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Q: Who is ACE’s Sponsor?

A: ACE’s sponsor is ACE Convergence Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The Sponsor currently owns 3,160,570 Class B ordinary shares of ACE. The Sponsor is indirectly owned by ACE Equity Partners LLC, a limited liability company formed in South Korea, and Behrooz Abdi, a United States citizen. ACE Equity Partners LLC is owned and controlled by David Young Ko, a United States citizen and resident of South Korea. In January 2022, the Sponsor distributed 755,930 founder shares to ACE SO5 Holdings Limited (“ACE SO5”), a company formed in the British Virgin Islands. ACE Equity Partners International Pte Ltd. (“AEPI”), a company formed in Singapore, is the sole owner of the voting equity of ACE SO5. The sole shareholder of AEPI is ACE Equity Partners LLC, which is wholly owned and controlled by Mr. Ko, a U.S. citizen.

25

To ACE’s knowledge, the only non-U.S. citizens who are associated with or otherwise involved in the transaction are as follows:

● Denis Tse, a citizen of Hong Kong and Secretary and a director of ACE, is the sole director and manager of ACE SO5. Mr. Tse disclaims beneficial ownership of securities held by ACE SO5. Mr. Tse is also a director and the Executive Director (Chief Executive Officer) of AEPI. Mr. Tse will not be a director of the post-closing combined entity.

● 1,678,500 Class B ordinary shares are held by Mr. Sunny Siu, a citizen of Hong Kong. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, Mr. Siu is expected to own less than a 5 percent interest in the combined companies.

Each of the individuals who will serve as directors of the post-closing combined entity upon the closing of the Business Combination is a U.S. citizen.

ACE does not believe that any of the above facts or relationships would subject the proposed Business Combination to regulatory review, including review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). Nor does ACE believe that if such a review were conceivable that the proposed Business Combination ultimately would be prohibited.

However, if the proposed Business Combination were to become subject to CFIUS review, CFIUS could decide to block or delay ACE’s proposed initial business combination, impose conditions with respect to such initial business combination or request the President of the United States to order ACE to divest all or a portion of the U.S. target business of its initial business combination that it acquired without first obtaining CFIUS approval. The time required for CFIUS to conduct its review and any remedy imposed by CFIUS could prevent ACE from completing its initial business combination and require ACE to liquidate. In that case, investors would be entitled to redemption of 100% of the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest not previously released to ACE to pay its income taxes (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then-issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any). Moreover, investors would lose the investment opportunity in a target company, any price appreciation in the combined companies, and the warrants would expire worthless.

Q: How does the Sponsor intend to vote their shares?

A: Unlike some other blank check companies in which the initial shareholders agree to vote their shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the public shareholders in connection with an initial business combination, the Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers, and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees have agreed to vote all the founder shares and any other public shares they may hold in favor of all the proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, and due to (i) the redemption of 14,797,723 public shares in connection with the shareholder vote in January 2022 and (ii) the redemption of 4,256,979 public shares in connection with the shareholder vote in July 2022, in each case to approve the extension of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination, the Sponsor (including ACE’s directors, officers, and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees) owns 59.31% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares.

Subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material nonpublic information), the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may (i) purchase public shares from institutional and other investors (including those who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the Condition Precedent Proposals, or elect to redeem, or indicate an intention to redeem, public shares), (ii) enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives not redeem their public shares, or (iii) execute agreements to purchase such public shares from such investors or enter into non-redemption agreements in the future. In the event that the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates purchase public shares in situations in which the tender offer rules restrictions on purchases would apply, they (a) would purchase the public shares at a price no higher than the price offered through the ACE redemption process (i.e., approximately $10.17 per share based on trust account figures as of June 30, 2022); (b) would represent in writing that such public shares will not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination; and (c) would waive in writing any redemption rights with respect to the public shares so purchased.

To the extent any such purchases are made by the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates in situations in which the tender offer rules and restrictions on purchases apply, ACE will

26

disclose in a Current Report on Form 8-K prior to the extraordinary general meeting the following: (i) the number of ACE public shares purchased outside of the redemption offer, along with the purchase price(s) for such public shares; (ii) the purpose of any such purchases; (iii) the impact, if any, of the purchases on the likelihood that the Business Combination Proposal will be approved; (iv) the identities of the ACE securityholders who sold to the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of the securityholders (e.g., 5% security holders) who sold such public shares; and (v) the number of ordinary shares for which ACE has received redemption requests pursuant to its redemption offer.

The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of (x) satisfaction of the Minimum Cash Condition, (y) otherwise limiting the number of public shares electing to redeem and (z) ACE’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) being at least $5,000,001. A purchase of warrants by the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may have the effect of increasing share ownership of Tempo on a fully diluted basis.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Consistent with SEC guidance, purchases of shares by the persons described above would not be permitted to be voted for the Business Combination at the extraordinary general meeting and could decrease the chances that the Business Combination would be approved. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our securities and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of ACE’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of ACE and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself, or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, ACE’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section titled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of ACE’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Q: What do the Sponsor, its affiliates, and ACE’s directors and officers have at risk that depends on the completion of a business combination?

A: When you consider the recommendation of ACE’s board of directors in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor, its affiliates, and ACE’s directors and officers have certain amounts at risk that depend on the completion of a business combination. Such amounts include the following:

● On May 28, 2020, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 ACE Class B ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share (“Founder Shares”). On May 29, 2020, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 155,000 Founder Shares to certain members of the Company’s management team. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 750,000 shares that were subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised, so that the number of Founder Shares would equal 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the Initial Public Offering. As a result of the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option on July 30, 2020, 750,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture. Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering of ACE, the Sponsor purchased 6,600,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, or $6,600,000 in the aggregate, in a private placement. On October 13, 2021, the Sponsor distributed 1,678,500 Founder Shares and 948,750 Private Placement Warrants to Sunny Siu. In January 2022, the Sponsor distributed 755,930 founder shares and 891,714 private placement warrants to ACE SO5 Holdings Limited, an affiliate of the Sponsor. If ACE does not consummate a business combination by October 13, 2022 (or if such date is extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), it would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming all of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating, subject in each case to its obligations under the Cayman Islands Companies Act to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the 5,595,000 ACE Class B ordinary shares owned by the Sponsor and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees, and the 155,000 ACE Class B ordinary shares directly owned by ACE’s independent directors and certain of its officers, in aggregate, would be worthless because following the redemption of the public shares, ACE would likely have few, if any, net assets and because the Sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to liquidating distributions

27

from the trust account with respect to the Sponsor if ACE fails to complete a business combination within the required period. In addition the 6,600,000 Private Placement Warrants would expire worthless. The Sponsor purchased the ACE Class B ordinary shares prior to ACE’s initial public offering for approximately $0.004 per share and certain of ACE’s directors and executive officers, including Behrooz Abdi, have an economic interest in such shares. Each of the initial shareholders of ACE and their permitted transferees acquired their ACE Class B ordinary shares at $0.004 per share. The 3,750,000 shares of New Tempo common stock that the Sponsor and initial shareholders of ACE (including the independent directors and certain officers of ACE, and excluding the Sponsor Related PIPE Investors) and their permitted transferees, are expected to hold following the Merger (including after giving effect to the Domestication), if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of approximately $38.25 million based upon the closing price of $10.20 per public share on Nasdaq on August 31, 2022, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Given such shares of New Tempo common stock will be subject to certain restrictions, including those described above, ACE believes such shares have less value. The 6,600,000 New Tempo warrants into which the 6,600,000 Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees, will automatically convert in connection with the Merger (including after giving effect to the Domestication), if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of approximately $726,000 based upon the closing price of $0.11 per public warrant on Nasdaq on August 31, 2022, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

● The Sponsor will benefit from the completion of the Business Combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to ACE shareholders rather than liquidate.

● Given the differential in purchase price that the Sponsor and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees paid for the Founder Shares as compared to the price of the units sold in ACE’s initial public offering and the substantial number of shares of New Tempo Common Stock that the Sponsor and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees will receive upon conversion of the Founder Shares in connection with the Business Combination, the Sponsor and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees may realize a positive rate of return on such investments even if other shareholders of ACE experience a negative rate of return following the Business Combination.

● The Sponsor and its affiliates are active investors across a number of different investment platforms, which ACE and the Sponsor believe improved the volume and quality of opportunities that were available to ACE. However, it also creates potential conflicts and the need to allocate investment opportunities across multiple investment vehicles. In order to provide the Sponsor with the flexibility to evaluate opportunities across these platforms, ACE’s Cayman Constitutional Documents currently provide that certain business opportunities are not subject to the “corporate opportunity” doctrine. This waiver allows the Sponsor and its affiliates to allocate opportunities based on a combination of the objectives and fundraising needs of the target, as well as the investment objectives of the investment vehicle. ACE does not believe that the waiver of the corporate opportunities doctrine otherwise had a material impact on its search for an acquisition target.

● On May 28, 2020, ACE issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which ACE borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $186,760. The note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2020, and (ii) the completion of the initial public offering. The borrowings outstanding under the note in the amount of $186,760 were repaid upon the consummation of the initial public offering on July 30, 2020. In addition, in order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of ACE’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan ACE funds as may be required. In the event that ACE’s initial business combination does not close, ACE may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the trust account would be used for such repayment, and the applicable related party lender or lenders may not be able to recover the value it or they have loaned to ACE pursuant to such loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor. ACE does not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor as ACE does not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the trust account. As of December 31, 2020, ACE had no outstanding borrowings under the working capital loans.

● On August 12, 2020, ACE entered into a working capital facility (the “Working Capital Facility”) with ASIA-IO Advisors Limited (“ASIA-IO”), an affiliate of the Sponsor, in the aggregate amount of $1,500,000. The funds from the

28

Working Capital Facility will be utilized to finance transaction costs in connection with ACE’s initial business combination. The Working Capital Facility is non-interest bearing, non-convertible and due to be repaid upon the consummation of a business combination. In return, ACE deposited $900,000 into an account held by ASIA-IO, from which ACE may make fund withdrawals for up to $1,500,000. As part of the Working Capital Facility, ASIA-IO waived the right to convert the working capital loan into private placement warrants. Any outstanding amounts deposited with ASIA-IO upon the completion of a business combination or dissolution of ACE, will be returned to ACE. In November 2020, the deposit amount was reduced by $850,000. As of June 30, 2022, ACE had $829,295 of outstanding borrowings under the Working Capital Facility. If the Business Combination is not completed and ACE winds up, there will not be sufficient assets to repay the Working Capital Facility and it will be worthless.

● On January 13, 2022, ACE entered into a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Promissory Note”) with the Sponsor. Pursuant to the Promissory Note, the Sponsor has agreed that it will contribute to ACE as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “Contribution”) $0.03 for each Class A ordinary share of ACE that was not redeemed in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the extension of the deadline by which ACE must complete its initial business combination, for each month (or a pro rata portion thereof if less than a month) until the earlier of (i) the date of the extraordinary general meeting held in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the Business Combination and (ii) $1.5 million has been loaned. Up to $1.5 million of the loans may be settled in whole warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares of ACE at a conversion price equal to $1.00 per warrant. The Contribution(s) will not bear any interest, and will be repayable by ACE to the Sponsor upon the earlier of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination and the consummation of the Business Combination. ACE’s board of directors will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional months until $1.5 million in the aggregate has been loaned, and if ACE’s board of directors determines not to continue extending for additional months, the Sponsor’s obligation to make additional Contributions will terminate. If this occurs, ACE would wind up ACE’s affairs and redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in ACE’s Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. The maturity date of the Promissory Note may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined therein). Any outstanding principal under the Promissory Note may be prepaid at any time by ACE, at its election and without penalty, provided, however, that the Sponsor shall have a right to first convert such principal balance as described in Section 6 of the Promissory Note upon notice of such prepayment. If the Business Combination is not completed and ACE winds up, there will not be sufficient assets to repay the Promissory Note and it will be worthless. On June 30, 2022, ACE and the Sponsor amended and restated the Promissory Note in its entirety to, among other things, increase the aggregate principal amount available thereunder from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000, contingent upon the approval by ACE’s shareholders of the extension of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination to October 13, 2022. Monthly deposits into the trust account following the July 2022 redemptions are based on the number of public shares still outstanding following such redemptions. On August 28, 2022, ACE and the Sponsor amended and restated the Sponsor Loan in its entirety to, among other things, increase the aggregate principal amount available thereunder from $2,000,000 to $2,125,000, the effectiveness of which is conditioned upon the approval by ACE’s shareholders of the proposal to amend ACE’s Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which ACE must consummate an initial business combination from October 13, 2022, to January 30, 2023. Monthly deposits into ACE’s trust account following such extension will be based on the number of public shares still outstanding following such extension.

● In the event that ACE fails to consummate a business combination within the prescribed time frame (pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents), or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with the Business Combination, ACE will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against ACE within the ten years following such redemption. In order to protect the amounts held in ACE’s trust account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to ACE if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than ACE’s independent auditors) for services rendered or products sold to ACE, or a prospective target business with which ACE has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) 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 value of the trust assets, in each case, net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any 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 indemnity of the underwriters of ACE’s IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

See the section titled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of ACE’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Q:What are the potential impacts on the Business Combination and related transactions resulting from the resignation of Citi?

A: On May 19, 2022, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citi”) resigned from its role as financial advisor to Tempo and as a placement agent to the Company for the proposed PIPE Investment. Citi’s resignation was not the result of any dispute or disagreement with the Company or Tempo or any matter relating to the Company’s or Tempo’s respective operations, policies, procedures or practices. In connection with its resignation, Citi waived any claim it may have to any fees under the engagement letters entered into with each of the Company and Tempo and, accordingly, neither the Company nor Tempo has paid to Citi, and neither the Company nor Tempo is liable to Citi for, any fees, despite Citi’s having rendered substantially all applicable services at the time of its resignation. Citi did not provide specific reasons for its resignation, and neither the Company nor Tempo will speculate about the reasons why Citi withdrew from its role as financial advisor to Tempo and as a placement agent to the Company for the PIPE Investment and forfeited its fees after doing substantially all of the work necessary to earn those fees. Neither the Company nor Tempo intends to engage any additional advisors or placement agents as a result of Citi’s resignation, and the fees previously owed to Citi will not be paid or reallocated to any other advisor or placement agent. Citi was not expected to have a significant role in the closing of the Business Combination, and the Company does not believe that Citi’s resignation will impact the transactions described in this proxy statement/prospectus or the consummation of the Business Combination.

As is customary, certain provisions of Citi’s engagement letters with each of the Company and Tempo will survive Citi’s resignation. These provisions include the obligations of the Company and Tempo to indemnify and hold harmless Citi and its officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any losses and claims arising in any manner out of or in connection with the services that Citi provided to the Company or Tempo under the engagement letters and certain obligations of the Company and Tempo to maintain the confidentiality of information or advice rendered by Citi or any of its representatives to the Company or Tempo, as applicable, in connection with the evaluation of the Business Combination.

The Company does not expect that the PIPE Investment will be impacted by Citi’s resignation. Committed and potential investors in the PIPE Investment have been informed of Citi’s resignation, and no investors have revised or withdrawn their respective commitments in light of that information. The PIPE Investment is not contingent upon any continued involvement by Citi in the transactions and, pursuant to the subscription agreements relating to the PIPE Investment, each investor in the PIPE Investment specifically has disclaimed reliance on any statement, representation or warranty made by, among others, each of the placement agents, including Citi, in connection with such investment.

The disclosure in this proxy statement/prospectus pertaining to Citi’s engagement as financial advisor to Tempo and as a placement agent to the Company for the proposed equity and convertible note private placement investments to be consummated in connection with the Business Combination, as well as Citi’s subsequent resignation, has been provided to Citi. Citi’s confirmation that Citi agrees with this disclosure was requested, but Citi has indicated that it does not intend to provide a response to this request.

Some investors may believe that when a financial institution, such as Citi, is named in a registration or proxy statement, the involvement of such institution implies a level of due diligence and independent analysis on the part of such financial institution and that the naming of such financial institution generally means that the financial institution has completed a level of due diligence ordinarily associated with a professional engagement. However, in connection with its resignation, Citi has disclaimed responsibility for any portion of the disclosure included in this proxy statement/prospectus. Neither the Company nor Tempo can provide any assurance that Citi agrees with the disclosure in this proxy statement/prospectus, and no inference should be drawn to this effect. Investors should not place any reliance on the fact that Citi was involved with any aspect of the transactions described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

At no time prior to or after its resignation through the date of this filing did Citi indicate that it had any specific concerns with the Business Combination. Citi did not prepare or provide any of the disclosures in this proxy statement/prospectus, any analysis underlying the disclosures or any other materials or work product to the Company or Tempo that have been provided to the Company’s shareholders or the investors in the PIPE Investment. As with other members of the transaction working group, Citi did receive drafts of proxy statement/prospectus prepared by the Company and Tempo and provided limited comments in the ordinary course.

30

The Company did not rely on Citi, in its role as a placement agent to the Company for the proposed equity and convertible note private placement investments to be consummated in connection with the Business Combination, in the preparation and analysis of the materials, including projections, provided to the board of directors of the Company for use as a component of its overall evaluation of Tempo. The board of directors of the Company did not receive or rely upon any financial or valuation analyses conducted or prepared by Citi in making its determination that the Merger Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, were just, equitable and fair as to the Company and that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to enter into the Merger Agreement subject to the terms and conditions agreed upon by the parties thereto.

The Company believes that the resignation of Citi and the waiver of fees for services that have already been rendered is unusual. It is possible that the Company’s shareholders may be more likely to elect to redeem their shares as a result of this resignation and as a result, the Company may not have sufficient funds to meet the Minimum Cash Condition in the Merger Agreement.

Q: What happens if I sell my ACE ordinary shares before the extraordinary general meeting?

A: The record date for the extraordinary general meeting is earlier than the date of the extraordinary general meeting and earlier than the date that the Business Combination is expected to be completed. If you transfer your public shares after the applicable record date, but before the extraordinary general meeting, unless you grant a proxy to the transferee, you will retain your right to vote at such general meeting but the transferee, and not you, will have the ability to redeem such shares (if time permits).

Q: May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

A: Yes. Shareholders may send a later-dated, signed proxy card to ACE’s Secretary at ACE’s address set forth below so that it is received by ACE’s Secretary prior to the vote at the extraordinary general meeting (which is scheduled to take place on                 , 2022) or attend the extraordinary general meeting and vote in person. Shareholders also may revoke their proxy by sending a notice of revocation to ACE’s Secretary, which must be received by ACE’s Secretary prior to the vote at the extraordinary general meeting. However, if your shares are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or another nominee, you must contact your broker, bank, or other nominee to change your vote.

Q: What happens if I fail to take any action with respect to the extraordinary general meeting?

A: If you fail to take any action with respect to the extraordinary general meeting and the Business Combination is approved by shareholders and the Business Combination is consummated, you will become a stockholder or warrant holder of New Tempo. If you fail to take any action with respect to the extraordinary general meeting and the Business Combination is not approved, you will remain a shareholder or warrant holder of ACE. However, if you fail to vote with respect to the extraordinary general meeting, you will nonetheless be able to elect to redeem your public shares in connection with the Business Combination (if time permits).

Q: What should I do with my share certificates, warrant certificates or unit certificates?

A: Our shareholders who exercise their redemption rights must deliver (electronically) their share certificates to Continental, ACE’s transfer agent, prior to the extraordinary general meeting.

Holders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their public shares in the manner described above prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on            , 2022 (two business days before the extraordinary general meeting) in order for their shares to be redeemed. No demands for redemption in connection with the business combination proposal described in the registration statement on Form S-4 that was declared effective on April 18, 2022, have been received by Continental on behalf of ACE. All demands for redemption made in connection with the January 2022 and July 2022 shareholder votes to extend the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination have been completed, and such shares have been redeemed.

Our warrant holders should not submit the certificates relating to their warrants. Public shareholders who do not elect to have their public shares redeemed for the pro rata share of the trust account should not submit the certificates relating to their public shares.

Upon the Domestication, holders of ACE units, ACE Class A ordinary shares, ACE Class B ordinary shares and ACE warrants will receive shares of New Tempo common stock and warrants, as the case may be, without needing to take any action and,

31

accordingly, such holders should not submit any certificates relating to their units, ACE Class A ordinary shares (unless such holder elects to redeem the public shares in accordance with the procedures set forth above), ACE Class B ordinary shares or ACE warrants.

Q: What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

A: Shareholders may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/prospectus and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your ordinary shares.

Q: Who will solicit and pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the extraordinary general meeting?

A: ACE will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the extraordinary general meeting. ACE has engaged Morrow Sodali LLC (“Morrow”) to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the extraordinary general meeting. ACE has agreed to pay Morrow a fee of $25,000, plus disbursements (to be paid with non-trust account funds). ACE will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of ACE Class A ordinary shares for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of ACE Class A ordinary shares and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. ACE’s directors and officers may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies.

Q: Where can I find the voting results of the extraordinary general meeting?

A: The preliminary voting results will be expected to be announced at the extraordinary general meeting. ACE will publish final voting results of the extraordinary general meeting in a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days after the extraordinary general meeting.

Q: Who can help answer my questions?

A: If you have questions about the Business Combination or if you need additional copies of the proxy statement/prospectus or the enclosed proxy card, you should contact:

SUMMARY OF THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS

This summary highlights selected information from this proxy statement/prospectus and does not contain all of the information that is important to you. To better understand the proposals to be submitted for a vote at the extraordinary general meeting, including the Business Combination, you should read this proxy statement/ prospectus, including the Annexes and other documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety. The Merger Agreement is the primary legal document that governs the Business Combination and the other transactions that will be undertaken in connection with the Business Combination. The Merger Agreement is also described in detail in this proxy statement/prospectus in the section titled “Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement.”

Unless otherwise specified, all share calculations (1) assume no exercise of redemption rights by the public shareholders in connection with the Business Combination and (2) do not include any shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants.

The Parties to the Business Combination

ACE

ACE Convergence Acquisition Corp. is a blank check company incorporated on March 31, 2020 as a Cayman Islands exempted company and incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses. ACE has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue to date. Based on ACE’s business activities, it is a “shell company” as defined under the Exchange Act because it has no operations and nominal assets consisting almost entirely of cash.

On July 30, 2020, ACE consummated its initial public offering of its units, with each unit consisting of one ACE Class A ordinary share and one-half of one public warrant. Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, ACE completed the private sale of 6,600,000 private placement warrants at a purchase price of $1.00 per private placement warrant, to the Sponsor generating gross proceeds to us of $6.6 million. The private placement warrants are identical to the warrants sold as part of the units in ACE’s initial public offering except that, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees: (1) they will not be redeemable by the Company; (2) they (including the shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the Sponsor until 30 days after the completion of ACE’s initial business combination; (3) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis; and (4) they (including the shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) are entitled to registration rights.

Following the closing of ACE’s initial public offering, a total of $230.0 million ($10.00 per unit) of the net proceeds from its initial public offering and the sale of the private placement warrants was placed in the trust account. The proceeds held in the trust account may be invested by the trustee only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. As of June 30, 2022, funds in the trust account totaled approximately $83.4 million. These funds will remain in the trust account, except for the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, if any, until the earliest of (1) the completion of a business combination (including the Closing), (2) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend ACE’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (as may be amended from time to time, the “Cayman Constitutional Documents”) (A) to modify the substance or timing of ACE’s obligation to allow for redemption in connection with ACE’s initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if it does not complete a business combination by October 13, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, and (3) the redemption of all of the public shares if ACE is unable to complete a business combination by October 13, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), subject to applicable law.

With respect to the regulation of special purpose acquisition companies like ACE (“SPACs”), on March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules (the “SPAC Rule Proposals”) relating to, among other items, disclosures in business combination transactions involving SPACs and private operating companies; the condensed financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; the use of projections by SPACs in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination transactions; the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, including a proposed rule that would provide SPACs a safe harbor from treatment as an investment company if they satisfy certain conditions that limit a SPAC’s duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities.

34

With regard to the SEC’s investment company proposals included in the SPAC Rule Proposals, while the funds in the trust account have, since ACE’s initial public offering, been held only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasuries, to mitigate the risk of being viewed as operating an unregistered investment company (including pursuant to the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940), on June 22, 2022, ACE instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee managing the trust account, to hold all funds in the trust account in cash until the earlier of consummation of the Business Combination and liquidation of ACE.

The ACE units, ACE Class A ordinary shares and ACE warrants are currently listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “ACEVU,” “ACEV” and “ACEVW,” respectively.

ACE’s principal executive office is located at 1013 Centre Road, Suite 403S, Wilmington, Delaware 19805. Its telephone number is (302) 633-2102. ACE’s corporate website address is www.acev.io. ACE’s website and the information contained on, or that can be accessed through, the website is not deemed to be incorporated by reference in, and is not considered part of, this proxy statement/prospectus.

Merger Sub

ACE Convergence Subsidiary Corp. (“Merger Sub”) is a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of ACE. The Merger Sub does not own any material assets or operate any business.

Tempo Automation, Inc.

Tempo Automation, Inc., a Delaware corporation founded in 2013, is a leading software-accelerated electronics manufacturer that transforms the product development process for the world’s innovators. Tempo’s proprietary software platform, with AI that learns from every order, redefines the customer journey and accelerates time-to-market.

Tempo’s principal executive office is located at 2460 Alameda St., San Francisco, CA 94103. Its telephone number is (415) 320-1261. Its website is tempoautomation.com.

Combined Business Summary

Tempo is a leading software-accelerated electronics manufacturer that aims to transform the product development process for the world’s innovators. Tempo believes that its proprietary software platform, with artificial intelligence (“AI”) that learns from every order, redefines the customer journey and accelerates time-to-market. Tempo’s profit, growth, and strong margins are unlocked by a differentiated customer experience and software-enabled efficiencies. Tempo anticipates that its growth and data accrual will be accelerated via tech-enabled M&A in its highly fragmented industry.

Founded in 2013, Tempo is headquartered in San Francisco, California and serves more than 100 customers out of one manufacturing facility.

Tempo works with companies across industries, including space, semiconductor, aviation and defense, medical device, as well as industrials and e-commerce. Its customers include hardware engineers, engineering program managers, and procurement and supply chain personnel from businesses of a variety of sizes, ranging from Fortune 500 companies to start-ups. The electronics within Tempo’s products are most often manufactured as Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (“PCBAs”). The PCBA manufacturing process typically takes two inputs: (1) semiconductor components, and (2) a Printed Circuit Board (“PCB”), which consists of pads that receive the components and traces that connect them. The assembly process typically consists of attaching the semiconductor components to the PCB using a paste (solder paste), then curing the paste in an oven such that a strong electrical and mechanical bond is formed. Given the varied requirements of different contexts, customers typically will design different, custom PCBAs for each of their products.

During the initial phases of product development, up until a product is deemed production worthy (or, in the case where production quantities are less than 1,000, through production), customers demand quick turnaround times and the highest quality from their vendors to ensure they are not slowed down in their ramp to release new products. Based on the 2012-2013, 2018, and 2019 Annual Reports and Forecasts for the North American EMS Industry published by IPC International, Inc. (“IPC”), the estimated size of this electronics prototyping and on-demand production market in the United States is approximately $290 billion. Yet, most of

35

these electronics have historically been produced by small manufacturers who have been largely ignored by software and AI and therefore struggle to consistently satisfy customer demands manually.

Tempo has developed a technology-enabled manufacturing platform to streamline this electronic product realization process, thereby helping our customers bring new products to market faster. Tempo believes that its platform offers customer benefits that are highly desired by the market and not available from alternative solutions through its:

● Front-end customer portal, which provides frictionless quoting, ordering, and complex data ingestion via a secure cloud-based interface. Tempo’s front-end customer portal offers analysis, interpretation, and visual rendering of engineering, design, and supply chain data with minimal human involvement, which ultimately allows hardware engineers to reach a manufacturable design quickly and efficiently.

● Back-end manufacturing software, which is a continuous, bi-directional digital thread that connects Tempo’s customers to our smart factories, weaving together manufacturing processes and design data. In it, Tempo’s data-experienced AI flags and prevents potential production issues. It is extendable and manageable across multiple sites and locations.

● Connected network of smart factories, which deliver turnkey printed circuit board fabrication and assembly. Data from every build fuels the Tempo AI, increasing efficiencies and streamlining processes.

Tempo’s software platform helps companies iterate faster. In the status quo, each of quoting, manufacturability review, procurement, setup, and manufacturing are manual processes. Tempo estimates that, on average, these production process steps collectively take approximately 20 days when executed manually. By contrast, with Tempo’s automated approach, these processes could be completed in approximately five days.

Proposals to be Put to the Shareholders of ACE at the Extraordinary General Meeting

The following is a summary of the proposals to be put to the extraordinary general meeting of ACE and certain transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Each of the proposals below, except the Adjournment Proposal, is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will be consummated only if the Condition Precedent Proposals are approved at the extraordinary general meeting.

Business Combination Proposal

As discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus, ACE is asking its shareholders to approve by ordinary resolution and adopt the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 12, 2022, by and among ACE, Merger Sub and Tempo, as amended on September 7, 2022, and as may be amended from time to time, copies of which are attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annexes A-1 and A-2. The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things, following the Domestication of ACE to Delaware as described below, the merger of Merger Sub with and into Tempo (the “Merger”), with Tempo surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Tempo, in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement as more fully described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. After consideration of the factors identified and discussed in the section titled “Business Combination Proposal — ACE’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Business Combination,” ACE’s board of directors concluded that the Business Combination met all of the requirements disclosed in the prospectus for ACE’s initial public offering, including that the business of Tempo had a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in trust (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the trust account). For more information about the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, see “Business Combination Proposal.”

Aggregate Merger Consideration

As a result of and upon the Closing, among other things, all outstanding shares of Tempo common stock (after giving effect to the Tempo Preferred Conversion, as more fully described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus) as of immediately prior to the Closing, and, together with shares of Tempo common stock reserved in respect of Tempo Options outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing that will be converted into awards based on New Tempo common stock, will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, or the reservation of (in the case of the Tempo Options, if and to the extent earned and subject to their respective terms), an aggregate of approximately 25,792,701 shares of New Tempo common stock (at a deemed value of $10.00 per share) equal to the remainder of (a) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Base Purchase Price by (ii) $10.00, including, as applicable, a number of Tempo Earnout Shares. For further details, see “Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement — Consideration — Aggregate Merger Consideration.” Additionally, Tempo has undertaken to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the holder of each outstanding and unexercised Tempo warrants to exercise such Tempo warrant in exchange for shares of Tempo common stock immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger. Holders of Tempo warrants may elect not to exercise such Tempo warrants in exchange for shares of Tempo common stock prior to the effective time of the Merger. Any Tempo warrants that remain issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into warrants to purchase shares of New Tempo common stock on substantially similar terms to the Tempo warrants.

On September 7, 2022, ACE and Tempo entered into the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, to increase the Base Purchase Price from $235,000,000 to $257,927,013.

Tempo Earnout Shares

During the Earnout Period, New Tempo may issue to Eligible Tempo Equityholders up to 7,000,000 additional shares of New Tempo common stock in the aggregate, referred to herein as the Tempo Earnout Shares, in two equal tranches upon the occurrence of each Earnout Triggering Event. For further details, see “Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement — Consideration — Tempo Earnout Shares.”

Closing Conditions

The Merger Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions, including, among others, (i) approval by ACE’s shareholders of the Business Combination and related agreements and transactions, (ii) the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/ prospectus forms a part, (iii) the receipt of certain regulatory approvals

37

(including, but not limited to, approval for listing on Nasdaq of the shares of New Tempo common stock to be issued in connection with the Merger), (iv) that New Tempo has at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets upon Closing and (v) the absence of any injunctions.

Other conditions to Tempo’s obligations to consummate the Merger include, among others, that as of the Closing, (i) the Domestication has been completed, and (ii) the amount of cash available in the trust account, after deducting the amount required to satisfy ACE’s obligations to its shareholders (if any) that exercise their redemption rights pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, or the Trust Amount, the PIPE Investment, the Available Credit Amount and Available Cash Amount, in the aggregate, is at least equal to $10.0 million (the “Minimum Available Acquiror Cash Amount”).

If the Available Acquiror Cash (the sum of the Trust Amount, PIPE Investment, Available Credit Amount and the Available Cash Amount) is equal to or greater than the Minimum Available Acquiror Cash Amount, then the Minimum Cash Condition will be deemed to have been satisfied. This condition is for the sole benefit of Tempo. If such condition is not met, and such condition is not or cannot be waived under the terms of the Merger Agreement, then the Merger Agreement could terminate and the proposed Business Combination may not be consummated. In addition, the obligations of ACE, Merger Sub and Tempo to consummate the Merger are conditioned on, among other things, that pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, in no event will ACE redeem public shares in an amount that would cause New Tempo’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) to be less than $5,000,001.

For further details, see “Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement.”

Domestication Proposal

As discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus, if the Business Combination Proposal is approved, then ACE will ask its shareholders to approve by special resolution the Domestication Proposal. As a condition to closing the Business Combination pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the disinterested members of the board of directors of ACE have approved the Domestication Proposal. The Domestication Proposal, if approved, will authorize a change of ACE’s jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware. Accordingly, while ACE is currently governed by the Cayman Islands Companies Act, upon the Domestication, New Tempo will be governed by the DGCL. There are differences between Cayman Islands corporate law and Delaware corporate law as well as the Cayman Constitutional Documents and the Proposed Organizational Documents. Accordingly, ACE encourages shareholders to carefully review the information in “Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights.”

As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication, (1) each of the then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of ACE (the “ACE Class A ordinary shares”), will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Tempo (the “New Tempo common stock”), (2) each of the then issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of ACE (the “ACE Class B ordinary shares”), will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of New Tempo common stock, (3) each of the then issued and outstanding redeemable warrants of ACE (the “ACE warrants”) will convert automatically into a redeemable warrant to acquire one share of New Tempo common stock (the “New Tempo warrants”) pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, dated July 27, 2020, between ACE and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), as warrant agent, and (4) each of the then issued and outstanding units of ACE that have not been previously separated into the underlying ACE Class A ordinary shares and underlying ACE warrants upon the request of the holder thereof (the “ACE units”), will be cancelled and will entitle the holder thereof to one share of New Tempo common stock and one-half of one New Tempo warrant. As used herein, “public shares” shall mean the ACE Class A ordinary shares (including those that underlie the ACE units) that were registered pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (333-239716) and the shares of New Tempo common stock issued as a matter of law upon the conversion thereof on the effective date of the Domestication.

For further details, see “Domestication Proposal.”

Organizational Documents Proposals

If the Business Combination Proposal and the Domestication Proposal are approved, ACE will ask its shareholders to approve by special resolution four separate proposals (collectively, the “Organizational Documents Proposals”) in connection with the replacement of the Cayman Constitutional Documents, under the Cayman Islands Companies Act, with the Proposed Organizational Documents, under the DGCL, each to be effective upon the Domestication. The disinterested members of ACE’s board have approved

38

each of the Organizational Documents Proposals and believes such proposals are necessary to adequately address the needs of New Tempo after the Business Combination. Approval of each of the Organizational Documents Proposals is a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination. A brief summary of each of the Organizational Documents Proposals is set forth below. These summaries are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Proposed Organizational Documents.

(A) Organizational Documents Proposal A — to authorize the change in the authorized capital stock of ACE from 500,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “ACE Class A ordinary shares”), 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “ACE Class B ordinary shares” and, together with the ACE Class A ordinary shares, the “ordinary shares”), and 5,000,000 preference shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “ACE preferred shares”), to 600,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Tempo (the “New Tempo common stock”) and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Tempo (the “New Tempo preferred stock”);

(B) Organizational Documents Proposal B — to authorize the board of directors of New Tempo (the “Board”) to issue any or all shares of New Tempo preferred stock in one or more classes or series, with such terms and conditions as may be expressly determined by the Board and as may be permitted by the DGCL;

(C) Organizational Documents Proposal C — to provide that the Board be divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term; and

(D) Organizational Documents Proposal D — to authorize all other changes in connection with the replacement of Cayman Constitutional Documents with the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaws in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination (copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex H and Annex I, respectively), including (1) changing the corporate name from “ACE Convergence Acquisition Corp.” to “Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc.,” (2) adopting Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation, (3) removing certain provisions related to ACE’s status as a blank check company that will no longer be applicable upon consummation of the Business Combination, all of which ACE’s board of directors believes is necessary to adequately address the needs of New Tempo after the Business Combination, (4) providing that no action shall be taken by stockholders of New Tempo, except at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, (5) removing limitations on the corporate opportunity doctrine, (6) requiring the approval of the holders of 66 2/3% of the then-outstanding capital stock of New Tempo to amend specified provisions of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, and (7) requiring the approval of the Board or the holders of 66 2/3% of the then-outstanding capital stock of New Tempo to amend the Proposed Bylaws.

The Proposed Organizational Documents differ in certain material respects from the Cayman Constitutional Documents and ACE encourages shareholders to carefully review the information set out in the section titled “Organizational Documents Proposals” and the full text of the Proposed Organizational Documents of New Tempo.

Director Election Proposal

Assuming the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, each of the Organizational Documents Proposals, the Stock Issuance Proposal and the Incentive Award Plan Proposal are approved, ACE’s shareholders are also being asked to approve by ordinary resolution the Director Election Proposal, to be effective as of the Closing. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the Board will consist of up to nine directors. For additional information on the proposed directors, see “Director Election Proposal.”

Stock Issuance Proposal

Assuming the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, each of the Organizational Documents Proposals, the Director Election Proposal and the Incentive Award Plan Proposal are approved, ACE’s shareholders are also being asked to approve by ordinary resolution the Stock Issuance Proposal, to be effective prior to or substantially concurrently with the Closing. For additional information, see “Stock Issuance Proposal.”

Incentive Award Plan Proposal

Assuming the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposals, the Director Election Proposal and the Stock Issuance Proposal are approved, ACE’s shareholders are also being asked to approve by

39

ordinary resolution the 2022 Plan, to be effective prior to the Closing Date, in order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c) and the Internal Revenue Code. For additional information, see “Incentive Award Plan Proposal.”

Adjournment Proposal

If, based on the tabulated vote, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the extraordinary general meeting to authorize ACE to consummate the Business Combination (because any of the Condition Precedent Proposals have not been approved (including as a result of the failure of any other cross-conditioned Condition Precedent Proposals to be approved), ACE’s board of directors may submit a proposal to be effective as of the date of the extraordinary general meeting, to approve by ordinary resolution the adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies. For additional information, see “Adjournment Proposal.”

ACE’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Business Combination

ACE was organized for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

In evaluating the Business Combination, the ACE board of directors consulted with ACE’s management and considered a number of factors. In particular, the ACE board of directors considered, among other things, the following factors, although not weighted or in any order of significance:

● Tempo’s Large and Fragmented Addressable Market.  Tempo aims to transform the U.S. prototyping and on-demand electronic manufacturing market with the deployment of its artificial intelligence-enhanced, software-accelerated intelligent digital manufacturing platform. This targeted market is significantly large, estimated at $290 billion, based on IPC’s 2012-2013, 2018, and 2019 Annual Reports and Forecasts for the North American EMS Industry. It is also highly fragmented: approximately 77% of the outsourced electronic manufacturing facilities in the U.S. are operated by approximately 1,100 manufacturing service providers, each with estimated annual revenues of less than $50 million. By delivering faster turnaround time and enhancing product reliability through software and AI, the ACE board of directors believes Tempo is in an advantageous position to gain market share in this large, fragmented market.

● Tempo’s Unique Product Offering.  The ACE board of directors believes that Tempo’s software-driven offering is transformative in the U.S. prototyping and on-demand electronic manufacturing markets, where industry players have traditionally underinvested in technology, at least when compared to Tempo.

● Tempo’s Readiness for the Public Market. Tempo has senior finance leadership with extensive public company experience. This includes Ryan Benton, the Chief Financial Officer of Tempo who has in the last ten years served as Chief Financial Officer, audit committee chair, or Chief Executive Officer in four publicly traded technology companies where he was in particular involved in initial public offerings, mergers, acquisitions, trade-sales, and various other capital market transactions. Tempo’s Vice President of Business Operations and Finance, Keith Tainsky, has extensive business process, strategic planning, ERP systems experience, and previously served as the Vice President of Finance at Revasum, Inc. and as the Chief Financial Officer of Exar Corporation. Additionally, Tempo’s Vice President and Corporate Controller, Sherry Lin, after five years in public accounting, has spent approximately twelve years in various controllership positions at several public companies. The ACE board of directors believes these factors will help Tempo successfully operate as a public company while maintaining the capabilities to execute on additional business acquisitions.

● Tempo’s Growth Strategies.  Tempo intends to deliver revenue and earnings improvement organically. Tempo also intends to pursue strategic acquisitions in order to accumulate additional manufacturing data, gain market share, realize benefits of greater scale, acquire additional customer relationships and increase its strategic capabilities.

● Experienced and Proven Management Team.  The ACE board of directors believes that Tempo’s management team has extensive experience critical to succeeding in the industrial software and electronics manufacturing market. Tempo’s management team is led by its Chief Executive Officer, Joy Weiss, who is a seasoned semiconductor entrepreneur and, most recently, served as Vice President of Data Center with Analog Devices, Inc. Tempo’s Chief Financial Officer, Ryan Benton, has experience as Chief Financial Officer of several technology companies, most prominently at Exar Corporation, a semiconductor company, where he led major acquisitions and dispositions, and, after promotion to Chief Executive Officer, led the eventual trade-sale of Exar Corporation. Ralph Richart, Tempo’s Chief Technology and Manufacturing Officer, was

40

formerly a director of Compass AC Holdings, Inc. (“Advanced Circuits “ or “Compass”), a premier manufacturer of printed circuit boards. Keith Tainsky, Tempo’s VP of Finance and Business Operations, has extensive business process, strategic planning and ERP systems experience, and previously served as the Vice President of Finance at Revasum, Inc. and as the Chief Financial Officer of Exar Corporation. The ACE board of directors believes that under the leadership of these foregoing individuals, Tempo has built a digital manufacturing company that offers customers the proposition of faster and more reliable outcomes, capable of strong growth. The ACE board of directors expects that Tempo’s executives will continue with New Tempo following the Business Combination and that they are aligned with ACE’s culture and goal of creating post-combination value. For additional information regarding Tempo’s executive officers, see the section titled “Management of New Tempo Following the Business Combination — Executive Officers.”

For a more complete description of the ACE board of directors’ reasons for approving the Business Combination, including other factors and risks considered by the ACE board of directors, see the section titled “Business Combination Proposal — ACE’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Business Combination.”

Related Agreements

This section describes certain additional agreements entered into or to be entered into pursuant to the Merger Agreement. For additional information, see “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements.”

Sponsor Support Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, ACE entered into a sponsor support agreement with the Sponsor, certain of ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees, and Tempo, a copy of which is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B-1, as amended by the amendments thereto, dated as of July 6, 2022 (the “First SSA Amendment”), August 12, 2022 (the “Second SSA Amendment”), and September 7, 2022 (the “Third SSA Amendment”), copies of which are attached as Annexes B-2, B-3 and B-4, respectively, to this proxy statement/prospectus (as may be further amended, the “Sponsor Support Agreement”).

In the event of a strategic transaction, the holders of any vested Sponsor Earnout Shares will be eligible to participate in such strategic transaction with respect to such Sponsor Earnout Shares on the same terms, and subject to the same conditions, as the other holders of shares of New Tempo common stock generally.

On August 12, 2022, the parties to the Sponsor Support Agreement entered into the Second SSA Amendment, pursuant to which the Earnout Sponsors agreed, immediately prior to the Domestication, to contribute, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to ACE an aggregate of 5,595,000 Founder Shares in exchange for an aggregate of 3,095,000 Class A ordinary shares of ACE (the “SSA Exchange”). Pursuant to the First SSA Amendment, the Earnout Sponsors also agreed to subject an aggregate of 500,000 shares of New Tempo common stock (the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”) received in the SSA Exchange to certain earnout vesting conditions or, should such shares fail to vest, forfeiture to ACE for no consideration. On the earlier of (i) the date which is fifteen (15) months following the closing of the Business Combination and immediately prior to the closing of a strategic transaction, the Sponsor Earnout Shares will vest in an amount equal to (A) the number of Sponsor Earnout Shares, less (B) the number of Additional Period Shares (as defined therein), if any, issuable in the aggregate under such Amended and Restated PIPE Common Stock Subscription Agreements.

41

transaction with respect to such Sponsor Earnout Shares on the same terms, and subject to the same conditions, as the other holders of shares of New Tempo common stock generally.

On September 7, 2022, the parties to the Sponsor Support Agreement entered into the Third SSA Amendment, pursuant to which the parties agreed to increase the number of shares issued in the aggregate in the SSA Exchange from 3,095,000 to 3,595,000, and to increase the number of Sponsor Earnout Shares from 500,000 to 1,000,000.

Tempo Holders Support Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, ACE entered into a support agreement with Tempo and certain stockholders of Tempo (the “Tempo Stockholders”), a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C (the “Tempo Holders Support Agreement”). Pursuant to the Tempo Holders Support Agreement, certain Tempo Stockholders agreed to, among other things, vote to adopt and approve, upon the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Merger Agreement and all other documents and transactions contemplated thereby, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of the Tempo Holders Support Agreement. For additional information, see “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Tempo Holders Support Agreement.”

Lock-up Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of the lock-up agreement between New Tempo, the Sponsor and certain former stockholders of Tempo (the “Lock-Up Agreement”), each party to the agreement has agreed that it will not, without the prior written consent of New Tempo during a lock-up period of 365 days, unless earlier released, and subject to customary exceptions, (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer, dispose of or agree to transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position any shares of New Tempo common stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for New Tempo common stock issued or issuable to such party pursuant to the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “Lock-Up Shares”), (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Shares or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time before 365 days after the Closing, (x) the closing of a merger, liquidation, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction after the Closing results in all of the public stockholders of Tempo having the right to exchange their shares of New Tempo common stock for cash securities or other property, or (y) the closing price of the New Tempo common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any twenty trading days within any thirty-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing, then each party’s Lock-Up Shares will be automatically released from the lock-up restrictions, in the case of clause (y) above, as of the last day of such thirty-trading day period. The lock-up restrictions contain customary exceptions, including for estate planning transfers, affiliates transfers, and transfers upon death or by will. For additional information, see “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Lock-Up Agreements.”

Registration Rights Agreement

The Merger Agreement contemplates that, at the Closing, New Tempo, the Sponsor, other parties to the Sponsor Support Agreement and certain former stockholders of Tempo (the “Tempo Holders”), will enter into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which New Tempo will agree to register for resale, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, certain shares of New Tempo common stock and other equity securities of New Tempo that are held by the parties thereto from time to time. For additional information, see “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Registration Rights Agreement.”

PIPE Subscription Agreements

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, ACE entered into (i) the Original PIPE Common Stock Subscription Agreements with certain investors pursuant to which such investors agreed to purchase 8.2 million shares of New Tempo common stock at $10.00 per share for an aggregate commitment amount of $82.0 million, and (ii) the Affiliate Subscription Agreement.

In January 2022, the Affiliate Subscription Agreement was terminated in its entirety in accordance with its terms, and ACE and Tempo entered into a subscription agreement with OCM Tempo Holdings, LLC (“OCM”) and Tor Asia Credit Opportunity Master Fund II LP (“Tor Asia”), pursuant to which Tor Asia and OCM agreed to purchase $200.0 million of ACE’s 15.5% convertible senior

42

notes (the “Oaktree Subscription Agreement”). On July 30, 2022, OCM delivered notice of termination of the Oaktree Subscription Agreement, effective immediately.

On September 4, 2022, Tempo, ACE, OCM and Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (“Oaktree”) entered into a letter agreement (the “Oaktree Termination Letter”) pursuant to which the termination fee in connection with the Oaktree Subscription Agreement was reduced from 3.5% of the aggregate principal amount of the subscribed notes (approximately $7.0 million) to 0.6% of the aggregate principal amount of the subscribed notes (approximately $1.1 million) if the closing of the Business Combination occurs on or before October 15, 2022 (the “Reduced Termination Fee”), to be paid on the earlier of (i) six months after the Closing and (ii) the date on which either ACE or Tempo commence bankruptcy proceedings. In addition to the Reduced Termination Fee, ACE and Tempo are required to pay approximately $1.2 million in fees and expenses to OCM on the earlier of (x) immediately following the Closing and (y) the Outside Business Combination Date (as defined below). The Reduced Termination Fee and all other fees and expenses owed to OCM under the Oaktree Termination Letter will accrue interest at a rate of 20% per year, compounding monthly, starting on October 15, 2022. The Oaktree Termination Letter states that if the Business Combination has not been consummated prior to October 15, 2022, on the earliest of (I) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated, (II) the date on which either ACE or Tempo commence bankruptcy proceedings and (III) June 15, 2023 (the earliest date, the “Outside Business Combination Date”), ACE and Tempo will pay OCM the full 3.5% termination fee and all of its accrued and unpaid fees and expenses. To the extent the termination fee and accrued and unpaid fees and expenses are not paid on or prior to June 15, 2023, the unpaid portion of the termination fee (together with all other unpaid fees and expenses) will accrue interest at a rate of 20% per year, compounding monthly, starting on October 15, 2022.

On March 16, 2022, ACE entered into Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements, which amended and restated the Original PIPE Common Stock Subscription Agreements in their entirety, pursuant to which certain investors agreed to purchase 10.2 million shares of New Tempo common stock at $10.00 per share for an aggregate commitment of $102.0 million.

On July 6, 2022, ACE entered into Second Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements (the “Second A&R Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors, which amended and restated the Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements in their entirety.

On September 7, 2022, ACE entered into Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements with each of the PIPE Investors, which amend and restate the applicable Second Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements in their entirety. One of the Third Party PIPE Investors who entered into the Second A&R Subscription Agreement did not enter into the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreement and terminated its Second A&R Subscription Agreement on September 7, 2022. Pursuant to the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements, ACE has agreed to issue additional shares of New Tempo common stock to each PIPE Investor in the event that the volume weighted average price per share of New Tempo common stock (the “Measurement Period VWAP”) during the 30 days commencing on the date on which a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of New Tempo common stock acquired by such PIPE Investors (the “PIPE Resale Registration Statement”) is declared effective is less than $10.00 per share. In such case, each PIPE Investor will be entitled to receive a number of shares of New Tempo common stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of New Tempo common stock issued to such PIPE Investor at the closing of the subscription and held by such PIPE Investor through the date that is 30 days after the effective date of the PIPE Resale Registration Statement (the “Measurement Date”) multiplied by (y) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is $10.00 minus the Adjustment Period VWAP (as defined below) and (B) the denominator of which is the Adjustment Period VWAP. In the event that the Adjustment Period VWAP is less than $4.00 (the “Price Floor Value”), the Adjustment Period VWAP shall be deemed to be the Price Floor Value.

ACE has also agreed to issue up to 500,000 additional shares of New Tempo common stock to each such PIPE Investor in the event that the Additional Period VWAP (as defined below) is less than the Adjustment Period VWAP. In such case, each such PIPE Investor will be entitled to receive a number of shares of New Tempo common stock equal to the lesser of (1) such PIPE Investor’s pro rata portion of 500,000 additional shares of New Tempo common stock, and (2) (i) (A) (x) the number of shares issued to such PIPE Investor pursuant to such subscription agreement and held by such PIPE Investor on the last day of the 30 calendar day period ending on the date that is 15 months following the closing of the subscriptions (such 30 calendar day period, the “Additional Period”), times (y) the Adjustment Period VWAP, minus the average of the volume weighted average price of a share of New Tempo common stock determined for each of the trading days during the Additional Period (the “Additional Period VWAP”), minus (B) the number of PIPE Incentive Shares, times the Additional Period VWAP, divided by (ii) the Additional Period VWAP.

Additionally, ACE has agreed to issue up to 2,000,000 additional shares (the “PIPE Incentive Shares”) to such PIPE Investors on a pro rata basis with respect to each PIPE Investor’s subscription amount as an incentive to subscribe for and purchase the shares under the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements.

43

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that New Tempo consummates a strategic transaction during the 15-month period beginning on the closing date, then the measurement date for the issuance of such additional shares shall be one day prior to the closing date of such strategic transaction, and the Additional Period VWAP will be deemed to equal the price per share paid or payable to the holders of outstanding shares of New Tempo common stock in connection with such strategic transaction. If such price is payable in whole or in part in the form of consideration other than cash, the value of such consideration will be (a) with respect to any securities, (i) the average of the closing prices of the sales of such securities on all securities exchanges on which such securities are then listed, averaged over a period of 30 trading days ending on the day as of which such value is being determined and the 29 consecutive days preceding such day, or if the information contemplated by the preceding clause (i) is not practically available, then the fair value of such securities as of the date of valuation as determined in accordance with the succeeding clause (b), and (b) with respect to any other non-cash assets, the fair value thereof as of the date of valuation, as determined by an independent, nationally recognized valuation firm reasonably selected by New Tempo, on the basis of an orderly sale to a willing, unaffiliated buyer in an arm’s-length transaction, taking into account all factors determinative of value as the investment banking firm determines relevant (and giving effect to any transfer taxes payable in connection with such sale).

One of the PIPE Investors’ Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreement provides that, if such PIPE Investor is an Eligible Investor (defined as any subscriber in the offering who is not a beneficial or record owner of ACE’s equity or an affiliate of ACE prior to the Initial Closing (as defined therein)), if, after the date of the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements, such PIPE Investor acquires ownership of Class A Ordinary Shares of ACE in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions with third parties (along with any related rights to redeem or convert such shares in connection with the redemption conducted by ACE in connection with the vote to approve the Business Combination (the “Redemption”)) at least five business days prior to ACE’s extraordinary general meeting to approve the Business Combination, and such PIPE Investor does not redeem or convert such shares in connection with the Redemption (including revoking any prior redemption or conversion elections made with respect to such shares) (such shares, “PIPE Non-Redeemed Shares”), the number of shares such PIPE Investor (only if an Eligible Investor) is obligated to purchase under its Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreement shall be reduced by the number of PIPE Non-Redeemed Shares.

The obligation of the parties to consummate the purchase and sale of the shares covered by the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements is conditioned upon, among other things, (i) there not being in force any injunction or order enjoining or prohibiting the issuance and sale of the shares covered by the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements and (ii) satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent to the Closing under the Merger Agreement. The closings under the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements will occur substantially concurrently with the Closing. For additional information, see “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — PIPE Subscription Agreements.”

We note that Citi, in its role as a placement agent that advised ACE in connection with the PIPE Investment, has resigned from its role in such capacity and waived all fees associated with such engagement. The placement agency services being provided by Citi in connection with the PIPE Investment were substantially complete at the time of its resignation, with any fees payable to Citi for such services contingent upon the closing of the Merger. The Company does not expect that the PIPE Investment will be impacted by Citi’s resignation. Committed and potential investors in the PIPE Investment have been informed of Citi’s resignation, and no investors have revised or withdrawn their respective commitments in light of that information. The PIPE Investment is not contingent upon any continued involvement by Citi in the transactions and, pursuant to the subscription agreements relating to the PIPE Investment, each investor in the PIPE Investment specifically has disclaimed reliance on any statement, representation or warranty made by, among others, each of the placement agents, including Citi, in connection with such investment. See “— Recent Developments.”

Cantor Share Purchase Agreement

On March 16, 2022, ACE entered into the Cantor Purchase Agreement with CFPI relating to the Facility. Pursuant to the Cantor Purchase Agreement, New Tempo will have the right from time to time at its option following closing of the Business Combination to sell to CFPI up to $100.0 million of New Tempo common stock subject to certain customary conditions and limitations set forth in the Cantor Purchase Agreement.

Sales of New Tempo common stock to CFPI under the Cantor Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any sales, will be determined by New Tempo from time to time in its sole discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of shares of New Tempo common stock and determinations by New Tempo regarding the use of proceeds of such sales. The net proceeds from any sales under the Cantor Purchase Agreement will depend on the frequency with, and prices at, which the shares of New Tempo common stock are sold to CFPI. New Tempo expects to use the proceeds from any sales under the Cantor Purchase Agreement for the payment of certain transaction expenses relating to the Business Combination and working capital and general corporate purposes.

44

Following the closing of the Business Combination, and upon the initial satisfaction of the conditions to CFPI’s obligation to purchase shares of New Tempo common stock set forth in the Purchase Agreement (the “Commencement”), including that a registration statement registering the resale by CF Principal of such shares of New Tempo common stock under the Securities Act (the “Initial Resale Registration Statement”) is declared effective by the SEC and a final prospectus relating thereto is filed with the SEC, New Tempo will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at its sole discretion until the first day of the month next following the 36-month period from and after Commencement, to direct CFPI to purchase up to a specified maximum amount of shares of New Tempo as set forth in the Cantor Purchase Agreement by delivering written notice to CFPI prior to the commencement of trading on any trading day. The purchase price of the shares of New Tempo common stock that the Company elects to sell to Cantor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will be 97% of the volume weighted average price of the shares of New Tempo common stock during the applicable purchase date on which the Company has timely delivered written notice to CFPI directing it to purchase shares of New Tempo common stock under the Cantor Purchase Agreement.

In connection with the execution of the Cantor Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue shares of New Tempo common stock to CFPI as consideration for its irrevocable commitment to purchase the shares of New Tempo common stock upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Cantor Purchase Agreement. The Cantor Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations by each party. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Cantor Purchase Agreements were made only for purposes of the Cantor Purchase Agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and are subject to certain important limitations.

The Company has the right to terminate the Cantor Purchase Agreement at any time after Commencement, at no cost or penalty, upon five trading days’ prior written notice. No termination of the Cantor Purchase Agreement alter or otherwise affect the Company’s obligations under the Cantor Registration Rights Agreement. For additional information, see “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Cantor Purchase Agreement.”

Cantor Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Company’s entry into the Cantor Purchase Agreement, on March 16, 2022, the Company and CFPI entered into the Cantor Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which New Tempo will agree to register for resale, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the shares of New Tempo common stock that are sold to CFPI under the Facility, including the shares of New Tempo common stock to be issued to CFPI as consideration for its irrevocable commitment to purchase the shares of New Tempo common stock, from time to time. For additional information, see “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Cantor Registration Rights Agreement.”

ACE Securities Purchase Agreement

On March 16, 2022, ACE entered into that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 16, 2022, by and between the Company and ACE SO3 (the “ACE Securities Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which ACE SO3 agreed to purchase an unsecured subordinated convertible note due 39 months from its date of issuance in the principal amount of $20,000,000 from the Company in connection with the closing of the Business Combination.

On July 1, 2022, ACE and ACE SO3 terminated the ACE Securities Purchase Agreement.

Backstop Subscription Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, ACE entered into a Backstop Subscription Agreement with ACE SO3 (the “Backstop Investor”), pursuant to which the Backstop Investor committed to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 shares of New Tempo common stock, for an aggregate amount of up to $30.0 million, to backstop the Minimum Available Acquiror Cash Amount. On March 16, 2022, ACE and the Backstop Investor terminated the Backstop Subscription Agreement.

Bridge Notes

On July 1, 2022, ACE, Tempo and ACE Equity Partners International Pte. Ltd. (“AEPI”) entered into an Unsecured Subordinated Convertible Note (the “Bridge Note”) due September 30, 2022, pursuant to which AEPI agreed to loan to Tempo up to an aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million, $2.5 million of which was advanced to Tempo as of June 30, 2022. On August 25, 2022, in connection with the Bridge Financing (as defined herein), the Bridge Note was amended and restated on substantially similar terms to

45

the August 2022 Bridge Notes (as defined herein). On August 25, 2022, Tempo entered into a note purchase agreement (the “Bridge Note Purchase Agreement”), with each of ACE, AEPI, Point72 Ventures Investments, LLC, Lux Ventures IV, L.P. and the lenders under the Loan and Security Agreement (collectively, the “Initial Bridge Investors”), pursuant to which Tempo agreed to issue up to $5.0 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible promissory notes (the “August 2022 Bridge Notes”) to the Initial Bridge Investors for aggregate cash proceeds of approximately $1.4 million and the cancellation of approximately $3.6 million of outstanding amounts owed under the Loan and Security Agreement. Additionally, Tempo may, from time to time prior to October 9, 2022, issue up to $700,000 in aggregate principal amount of additional August 2022 Bridge Notes to one or more additional investors. The August 2022 Bridge Notes initially bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum. Upon the occurrence of any event of default under the August 2022 Bridge Notes until the earlier of the conversion of such August 2022 Bridge Note or the first date on which such event of default is cured or waived, the interest rate will be 15% per annum. Interest began accruing on August 25, 2022 and will continue to accrue on the outstanding unpaid principal until paid in full or converted in accordance with the terms of the August 2022 Bridge Notes. The August 2022 Bridge Notes will mature, and all outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable by Tempo, on the earlier of August 25, 2023 and the time at which such outstanding amount becomes due and payable upon an event of default under the August 2022 Bridge Notes. The August 2022 Bridge Notes may not be prepaid, in whole or in part, prior to maturity without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding August 2022 Bridge Notes, which majority must include (i) on or before October 31, 2022, each of Structural Capital Investments III, LP and its successors and assigns (collectively, “SCI”) and Point72 Ventures Investments, LLC and (ii) after October 31, 2022, SCI only, in each case, for so long as such entity is the registered holder of an August 2022 Bridge Note (the “Requisite Holders”). The August 2022 Bridge Notes are subordinated in right of payment to all current and future indebtedness of Tempo to banks, leasing or equipment financing institutions and other financial institutions engaged in the business of lending money, including the Loan and Security Agreement. Unless an event of default has occurred and is continuing at such time, upon the closing of the Business Combination, the consummation of another SPAC Transaction (as defined in the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement), the consummation of a qualified financing or the consummation of an initial public offering or direct listing, all outstanding amounts under the August 2022 Bridge Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, as of such time will automatically convert in full into a number of shares of (i) Tempo common stock or (ii) Tempo preferred stock having terms equivalent to the terms of Tempo’s most senior preferred stock, in each case in accordance with the terms of the August 2022 Bridge Notes, such that the value of the securities received by the holder of any August 2022 Bridge Note will equal the product of (x) the aggregate principal amount, together with any accrued but unpaid interest, outstanding under such August 2022 Bridge Note as of the time of such conversion multiplied by (y) four. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing at such time, then upon the closing of the Business Combination, the consummation of another SPAC Transaction, the consummation of a qualified financing, the consummation of an initial public offering or direct listing or the consummation of any Change of Control, the August 2022 Bridge Notes will only be converted as set forth above if the holder of such note provides its written consent to such conversion. Upon the consummation of any Change of Control (as defined in the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement) prior to the conversion of the August 2022 Bridge Notes, the Company will pay to the holder of such August 2022 Bridge Note, upon the closing of such Change of Control and in full satisfaction of the applicable August 2022 Bridge Note, a cash amount equal to the sum of (i) the product of (a) the outstanding principal balance under the applicable August 2022 Bridge Note multiplied by (b) four, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest. The August 2022 Bridge Notes contain customary events of default, including the failure of Tempo to pay any of the principal, interest or any other amounts payable under the August 2022 Bridge Notes when due and payable, the breach by Tempo of any provision of the August 2022 Bridge Notes or the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement and any event of default under the Loan and Security Agreement that has occurred and is continuing after October 31, 2022. The Bridge Note Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and closing conditions.

On August 25, in connection with the issuance and sale of the August 2022 Bridge Notes, and as a condition to closing the issuance and sale of the August 2022 Bridge Notes in accordance with the terms of the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement, Tempo:

● amended and restated the 2022 Promissory Notes (as defined herein) and the Bridge Note, in each case, on substantially similar terms to the August 2022 Bridge Notes;

● entered into an amended and restated warrant with Point72 Ventures Investments, LLC, which amended and restated that certain Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock, dated as of October 11, 2021, to, among other things, provide for the automatic conversion of such warrant into shares of Tempo common stock upon the consummation of the Business Combination, a business combination or similar transaction with another special purpose acquisition company, the consummation of a qualified financing or the consummation of an initial public offering or direct listing; and

● adopted that certain Amended and Restated Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Tempo, to, among other things, (i) increase the authorized capital of Tempo for purposes of reserving for issuance an adequate number of shares

46

of Tempo common stock and Tempo preferred stock for issuance upon conversion of the August 2022 Bridge Notes; and (ii) create a new series of Tempo preferred stock designated as “Series C-3 Preferred Stock” and establish the rights, preferences and privileges of such series of Tempo preferred stock for purposes of issuing shares of such series of Tempo preferred stock upon conversion of the August 2022 Bridge Notes.

On August 25, 2022, in connection with the issuance and sale of the August 2022 Bridge Notes, and as a condition to closing the issuance and sale of the August 2022 Bridge Notes in accordance with the terms of the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement, Tempo also entered into a non-binding term sheet with the lenders under the Loan and Security Agreement with respect to the repayment of amounts outstanding under the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Repayment Term Sheet”). The Repayment Term Sheet contemplates that, in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the lenders under the Loan and Security Agreement (i) will convert up to $15.0 million in outstanding amounts under the Loan and Security Agreement as of such time into shares of New Tempo common stock pursuant to the Lender PIPE Common Stock Subscription Agreement (such conversion, the “Lender PIPE Conversion”), (ii) will receive up to $3.0 million in cash from the net proceeds of the Trust Account over $15.0 million (such amount, the "Cash Amount"); and (iii) will convert $15.0 million in outstanding amounts under the Loan and Security Agreement as of such time into senior notes of New Tempo (“New Tempo Senior Notes”) (such conversion, the “Lender Debt Conversion”), provided, that, (x) the Lender PIPE Conversion will be decreased by the Cash Amount, if any, and (y) for every $1.00 in net proceeds available from the Trust Account above $18.0 million, the Lender PIPE Conversion will be decreased and the Lender Debt Conversion will be increased, in each case, in like amount up to an aggregate decrease in the Lender PIPE Conversion and an aggregate increase in the Lender Debt Conversion of, in each case, $7.0 million. The New Tempo Senior Notes are expected to mature 36 months after the closing date of the Business Combination, and will be secured by a blanket lien on all assets of New Tempo and its subsidiaries. The New Tempo Senior Notes are anticipated to be issued at an original issuance discount of 1.50%, and will bear interest at a floating rate based on the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 4.25%, with a floor of 9.75%. A portion of the interest is anticipated to be payable in kind by increasing the aggregate principal amount under the New Tempo Senior Notes. All payments under the New Tempo Senior Notes for the first twelve months are expected to be credited towards interest only. Upon the final payment under the New Tempo Senior Notes, New Tempo anticipates that it will be required to pay an exit payment of 3.00% of the aggregate principal amount converted in the Lender Debt Conversion. The New Tempo Senior Notes are expected to be subject to customary covenants and events of default.

Bridge Subscription Agreement

In connection with the entry into the Bridge Note, on July 1, 2022, AEPI and ACE entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Bridge Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which AEPI agreed, at the closing of the Business Combination, to subscribe for up to 500,000 shares of New Tempo common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. The number of shares AEPI committed to purchase would be automatically reduced in an amount equal to (a) the difference between $5,000,000 and the Drawn Amount (as defined therein, the “Bridge Note Drawn Amount”), divided by (b) $10.00, rounded up to the nearest whole share.

The Bridge Subscription Agreement replaced a May 2022 subscription agreement on substantially the same terms in its entirety. On September 7, 2022, the Bridge Subscription Agreement was terminated in its entirety in connection with the amendment and restatement by ACE, Tempo and AEPI of the Bridge Note in connection with the Bridge Financing.

Ownership of New Tempo following Business Combination

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are 9,695,298 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, which includes the 5,750,000 founder shares held by the Sponsor and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees, and the 3,945,298 public shares. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there is outstanding an aggregate of 18,100,000 warrants, which includes the 6,600,000 private placement warrants held by the Sponsor and the 11,500,000 public warrants. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one ACE Class A ordinary share and, following the Domestication, will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of New Tempo common stock. Therefore, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus (without giving effect to the Business Combination) the ACE fully diluted share capital would be 27,795,298.

Following the Business Combination (assuming consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement), (1) ACE’s public shareholders are expected to own approximately 13.9% of the outstanding New Tempo common stock (2) Tempo Stockholders (without taking into account any public shares held by Tempo Stockholders prior to the consummation of the Business Combination or shares of New Tempo stock issuable to holders of New Tempo Options) are expected to own approximately 51.2% of the outstanding New Tempo common stock, at a deemed value of $10.00 per share of New Tempo common stock and after giving effect to the Per Share Merger Consideration, (3) the Sponsor and related parties

47

(including the Sponsor Related PIPE Investors) are expected to collectively own approximately 22.1% of the outstanding New Tempo common stock (taking into account the SSA Exchange), (4) CFPI is expected to own approximately 4.1% of the outstanding New Tempo common stock and (5) the Third Party PIPE Investors are expected to own approximately 8.7% of the outstanding New Tempo common stock . These percentages assume (i) that no public shareholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination, (ii) no exercise of the public and private warrants or options or issuance of any shares of New Tempo common stock in connection with the Tempo Earnout Shares, (iii) that (x) New Tempo issues or reserves 14,542,197 shares of New Tempo common stock to Tempo Stockholders as part of the Aggregate Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement and (y) New Tempo issues 3,050,000 shares of New Tempo common stock to the PIPE Investors pursuant to the PIPE Investment and (iv) 1,155,000 shares of New Tempo to CFPI for their commitment fee under the Cantor Purchase Agreement and as consideration to settle deferred underwriting commissions incurred during ACE’s IPO. If the actual facts are different from these assumptions, the percentage ownership retained by current ACE shareholders and Tempo Stockholders in New Tempo will be different.

The following table illustrates varying ownership levels in New Tempo immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination based on the assumptions above.

	Share Ownership in New Tempo
				Pro Forma Combined
	Pro Forma Combined			(Assuming Maximum
	(Assuming No Redemptions)			Redemptions)(1)
	Number of	%		Number of	%
	Shares	Ownership		Shares	Ownership
Tempo Stockholders(2)(3)(6)(7)	14,542,197	51.2	%	14,542,197	55.1	%
ACE’s public shareholders	3,945,298	13.9	%	954,686	3.6	%
Sponsor & related parties(4)(6)	6,288,755	22.1	%	6,102,925	23.1	%
Third Party PIPE Investors(7)	2,469,047	8.7	%	3,654,878	13.8	%
CFPI(5)	1,155,000	4.1	%	1,155,000	4.4	%
Total	28,400,297	100	%	26,409,686	100	%

(1) Assumes maximum redemptions of 2,990,612 Class A ordinary shares of ACE in connection with the Business Combination at approximately $10.16 per share based on trust account figures as of June 30, 2022, and including the expected proceeds received from the Promissory Note with the Sponsor. As of             , 2022, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor’s obligation is approximately $     per public share.

(2) Following the Closing, the Eligible Tempo Equityholders will have the right to receive up to 7,000,000 Tempo Earnout Shares in two tranches upon the occurrence of the Earnout Triggering Events during the Earnout Period. Because the Tempo Earnout Shares are contingently issuable based upon meeting certain operating metrics that have not yet been achieved, the pro forma New Tempo common stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Business Combination excludes the 7,000,000 Tempo Earnout Shares.

(3) Includes an estimated 3,727,260 shares of New Tempo common stock expected to be issued to Tempo warrant holders, net of expected exercise proceeds, and excludes an estimated 610,197 shares of New Tempo common stock to be reserved for potential future issuance upon the exercise of New Tempo Options.

(4) Includes 200,000 shares subscribed for by the Sponsor Related PIPE Investors and 3,750,000 shares beneficially owned by the directors and officers of ACE and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees (taking into account the SSA Exchange).

(5) Includes 1,155,000 New Tempo shares issued to CFPI for their $3.5 million commitment fee under the Cantor Purchase Agreement and to settle ACE’s existing deferred underwriting commissions of $8.1 million as of June 30, 2022.

(6) Includes New Tempo common stock issued to Tempo Stockholders and the Sponsor and related parties upon conversion of the August 2022 Bridge Notes. Concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination, the principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest on the August 2022 Bridge Notes will convert into shares of New Tempo common stock. Tempo Stockholders and the Sponsor and related parties are expected to receive 3,973,827 and 1,957,803 shares of New Tempo common stock, respectively.

48

(7) Certain Third Party PIPE Investors are also existing Tempo Stockholders. Accordingly, the same shareholders may be included in both shareholder categories.

Date, Time and Place of Extraordinary General Meeting of ACE’s Shareholders

The extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of ACE will be held at       a.m., Eastern Time, on, 2022, at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, located at 525 University Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94301, or virtually via live webcast at     , to consider and vote upon the proposals to be put to the extraordinary general meeting, including if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the extraordinary general meeting, each of the Condition Precedent Proposals have not been approved.

Voting Power; Record Date

ACE shareholders will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the extraordinary general meeting if they owned ordinary shares at the close of business on          , 2022, which is the “record date” for the extraordinary general meeting. Shareholders will have one vote for each ordinary share owned at the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. ACE warrants do not have voting rights. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 9,695,298 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, of which 3,945,298 were issued and outstanding public shares.

Quorum and Vote of ACE Shareholders

A quorum of ACE shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the ACE extraordinary general meeting if a majority of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting are represented in person or by proxy. While ACE shareholders will be permitted to observe the proceedings of the extraordinary general meeting virtually via live webcast, such shareholders will not be able to vote via live webcast, and such virtual participation will not be counted for the purposes of establishing a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the record date for the extraordinary general meeting, 6,976,139 ordinary shares would be required to achieve a quorum.

The Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers, and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees have agreed to vote all of their founder shares and any other public shares held by them in favor of the proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, and due to (i) the redemption of 14,797,723 public shares in January 2022 and (ii) the redemption of 4,256,979 public shares in connection with the shareholder vote in July 2022, in each case in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the extension of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination, the Sponsor (including ACE’s directors, officers, and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees) owns 59.31% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares.

The proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting require the following votes:

● Business Combination Proposal:   The Business Combination Proposal may be approved by an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

● Domestication Proposal:   The approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

● Organizational Documents Proposals:   The separate approval of each of the Organizational Documents Proposals requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

● Director Election Proposal:   The Director Election Proposal may be approved by an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

49

● Stock Issuance Proposal:   The Stock Issuance Proposal may be approved by an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

● Incentive Award Plan Proposal:   The Incentive Award Plan Proposal may be approved by an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

● Adjournment Proposal:   The Adjournment Proposal may be approved by an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, a public shareholder may request of ACE that New Tempo redeem all or a portion of its public shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. As a holder of public shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

● either (a) hold public shares or (b) if you hold public shares through units, you elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares;

● submit a written request to Continental, ACE’s transfer agent, that New Tempo redeem all or a portion of your public shares for cash; and

● deliver your public shares to Continental, ACE’s transfer agent, electronically through DTC.

Holders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their public shares in the manner described above prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on     , 2022 (two business days before the extraordinary general meeting) in order for their shares to be redeemed.

No demands for redemption in connection with the business combination proposal described in the registration statement on Form S-4 that was declared effective on April 18, 2022, have been received by Continental on behalf of ACE. All demands for redemption made in connection with the January 2022 and July 2022 shareholder votes to extend the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination have been completed, and such shares have been redeemed.

Holders of units must elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact Continental, ACE’s transfer agent, directly and instruct them to do so. Public shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of the public shares held by them regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the Business Combination Proposal. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the public shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank. If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a public shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the public shares that it holds and timely delivers its shares to Continental, ACE’s transfer agent, New Tempo will redeem such public shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, as of June 30, 2022, this would have amounted to approximately $10.17 per issued and outstanding public share. If a public shareholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its public shares for cash and will no longer own public shares. The redemption will take place following the Domestication and, accordingly, it is shares of New Tempo common stock that will be redeemed immediately after consummation of the Business Combination. See “Extraordinary General Meeting of ACE — Redemption Rights” in this proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your public shares for cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such public shareholder or any other person with whom such public shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the public shares without the prior

50

consent of ACE. Accordingly, if a public shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash without the prior consent of ACE.

Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Sponsor and directors and officers of ACE at the time of ACE’s initial public offering agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to all of the Founder Shares and any public shares held by them.

The Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers, and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how our public shareholders vote. Unlike some other blank check companies in which the initial shareholders agree to vote their shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the public shareholders in connection with an initial business combination, the Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers, and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Sponsor Support Agreement. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, and due to (i) the redemption of 14,797,723 public shares in January 2022 and (ii) the redemption of 4,256,979 public shares in connection with the shareholder vote in July 2022, in each case in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the extension of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination, the Sponsor (including ACE’s directors, officers, and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees) owns 59.31% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares.

Holders of the warrants will not have redemption rights with respect to the warrants.

Appraisal Rights

Neither ACE shareholders nor ACE warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Domestication under the Cayman Islands Companies Act or under the DGCL.

Proxy Solicitation

Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone or in person. ACE has engaged Morrow Sodali LLC to assist in the solicitation of proxies.

If a shareholder grants a proxy, it may still vote its shares in person if it revokes its proxy before the extraordinary general meeting. A shareholder also may change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy as described in the section titled “extraordinary general meeting of ACE — Revoking Your Proxy.”

Interests of ACE’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of ACE’s board of directors in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor and ACE’s directors and executive officers have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to, those of ACE shareholders and warrant holders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

● On May 28, 2020, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 ACE Class B ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share (“Founder Shares”). On May 29, 2020, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 155,000 Founder Shares to certain members of the Company’s management team. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 750,000 shares that were subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised, so that the number of Founder Shares would equal 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the Initial Public Offering. As a result of the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option on July 30, 2020, 750,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture. Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering of ACE, the Sponsor purchased 6,600,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, or $6,600,000 in the aggregate, in a private placement. On October 13, 2021, the Sponsor distributed 1,678,500 Founder Shares and 948,750 Private Placement Warrants to Sunny Siu. In January 2022, the Sponsor distributed 755,930 founder shares and 891,714 private placement warrants to ACE SO5 Holdings Limited, an affiliate of the Sponsor. If ACE does not consummate a business combination by October 13, 2022 (or if such date is extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), it would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming all of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating, subject in each case to its obligations under the Cayman Islands Companies Act to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the 5,595,000 ACE Class B ordinary shares owned by the

51

Sponsor and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees, and the 155,000 ACE Class B ordinary shares directly owned by ACE’s independent directors and certain of its officers, in aggregate, would be worthless because following the redemption of the public shares, ACE would likely have few, if any, net assets and because the Sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to the Sponsor if ACE fails to complete a business combination within the required period. In addition the 6,600,000 Private Placement Warrants would expire worthless. The Sponsor purchased the ACE Class B ordinary shares prior to ACE’s initial public offering for approximately $0.004 per share and certain of ACE’s directors and executive officers, including Behrooz Abdi, have an economic interest in such shares. Each of the initial shareholders of ACE and their permitted transferees acquired their ACE Class B ordinary shares at $0.004 per share. The 3,750,000 shares of New Tempo common stock that the Sponsor and initial shareholders of ACE (including the independent directors and certain officers of ACE, and excluding the Sponsor Related PIPE Investors) and their permitted transferees, are expected to hold following the Merger (including after giving effect to the Domestication), if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of approximately $38.25 million based upon the closing price of $10.20 per public share on Nasdaq on August 31, 2022, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Given such shares of New Tempo common stock will be subject to certain restrictions, including those described above, ACE believes such shares have less value. The 6,600,000 New Tempo warrants into which the 6,600,000 Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees, will automatically convert in connection with the Merger (including after giving effect to the Domestication), if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of approximately $726,000 based upon the closing price of $0.11 per public warrant on Nasdaq on August 31, 2022, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

● The Sponsor will benefit from the completion of the Business Combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to ACE shareholders rather than liquidate.

● Given the differential in purchase price that the Sponsor and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees paid for the Founder Shares as compared to the price of the units sold in ACE’s initial public offering and the substantial number of shares of New Tempo Common Stock that the Sponsor and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees will receive upon conversion of the Founder Shares in connection with the Business Combination, the Sponsor and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees may realize a positive rate of return on such investments even if other shareholders of ACE experience a negative rate of return following the Business Combination.

● The Sponsor and its affiliates are active investors across a number of different investment platforms, which ACE and the Sponsor believe improved the volume and quality of opportunities that were available to ACE. However, it also creates potential conflicts and the need to allocate investment opportunities across multiple investment vehicles. In order to provide the Sponsor with the flexibility to evaluate opportunities across these platforms, ACE’s Cayman Constitutional Documents currently provide that certain business opportunities are not subject to the “corporate opportunity” doctrine. This waiver allows the Sponsor and its affiliates to allocate opportunities based on a combination of the objectives and fundraising needs of the target, as well as the investment objectives of the investment vehicle. ACE does not believe that the waiver of the corporate opportunities doctrine otherwise had a material impact on its search for an acquisition target.

● On May 28, 2020, ACE issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which ACE borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $186,760. The note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2020, and (ii) the completion of the initial public offering. The borrowings outstanding under the note in the amount of $186,760 were repaid upon the consummation of the initial public offering on July 30, 2020. In addition, in order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of ACE’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan ACE funds as may be required. In the event that ACE’s initial business combination does not close, ACE may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the trust account would be used for such repayment, and the applicable related party lender or lenders may not be able to recover the value it or they have loaned to ACE pursuant to such loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor. ACE does not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor as ACE does not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the trust account. As of December 31, 2020, ACE had no outstanding borrowings under the working capital loans.

● On August 12, 2020, ACE entered into a working capital facility (the “Working Capital Facility”) with ASIA-IO Advisors Limited (“ASIA-IO”), an affiliate of the Sponsor, in the aggregate amount of $1,500,000. The funds from the Working Capital Facility will be utilized to finance transaction costs in connection with ACE’s initial business combination. The Working Capital Facility is non-interest bearing, non-convertible and due to be repaid upon the consummation of a business combination. In return, ACE deposited $900,000 into an account held by ASIA-IO, from which ACE may make fund withdrawals for up to $1,500,000. As part of the Working Capital Facility, ASIA-IO waived the right to convert the working capital loan into private placement warrants. Any outstanding amounts deposited with ASIA-IO upon the completion of a business combination or dissolution of ACE, will be returned to ACE. In November 2020, the deposit amount was reduced by $850,000. As of June 30, 2022, ACE had $829,295 of outstanding borrowings under the Working Capital Facility. If the Business Combination is not completed and ACE winds up, there will not be sufficient assets to repay the Working Capital Facility and it will be worthless.

● Ryan Benton, a director of ACE, is also Chief Financial Officer of Tempo and as such is considered an interested party to the Business Combination. Mr. Benton recused himself from the ACE board of directors meetings and certain votes regarding the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination.

● The Sponsor (including its representatives and affiliates) and ACE’s directors and officers, may, in the future, become affiliated with entities that are engaged in a similar business to ACE. The Sponsor and ACE’s directors and officers are not prohibited from sponsoring, or otherwise becoming involved with, any other blank check companies prior to ACE completing its initial business combination (assuming ACE has entered into the Merger Agreement). Moreover, certain of ACE’s directors and officers have time and attention requirements for investment funds of which affiliates of the Sponsor are the investment managers. ACE’s directors and officers also may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to ACE, and the other entities to which they owe certain fiduciary or contractual duties. Accordingly, they may have had conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. These conflicts may not be resolved in ACE’s favor and such potential business opportunities may be presented to other entities prior to their presentation to ACE, subject to applicable fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands Companies Act and Cayman Islands common law. ACE’s Cayman Constitutional Documents provide that ACE renounces its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer of ACE which may be an opportunity for such director, on the one hand, or ACE, on the other.

● ACE’s existing directors and officers will be eligible for continued indemnification and continued coverage under ACE’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Merger and pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

● The  Sponsor Related PIPE Investors have subscribed for $2,000,000 of the PIPE Investment, for which they will receive 200,000 shares of New Tempo common stock. The 200,000 shares which the Sponsor Related PIPE Investors have subscribed for in the PIPE Investment, if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of approximately $2.04 million based upon the closing price of $10.20 per public share on Nasdaq on August 31, 2022, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. See “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions — ACE Convergence Acquisition Corp. — PIPE Subscription Agreements” for additional information.

● In the event that ACE fails to consummate a business combination within the prescribed time frame (pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents), or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with the Business Combination, ACE will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against ACE within the ten years following such redemption. In order to protect the amounts held in ACE’s trust account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to ACE if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than ACE’s independent auditors) for services rendered or products sold to ACE, or a prospective target business with which ACE has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) 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 value of the trust assets, in each case, net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any 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 indemnity of the underwriters of ACE’s IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

● In order to finance transaction costs in connection with ACE’s initial business combination (including any amounts which are currently outstanding), the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of ACE’s officers and directors may, but are not

53

obligated to, loan funds to ACE as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes that would each become due and payable in full, without interest, upon completion of ACE’s initial business combination, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of notes may be converted upon completion of a business combination into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Such warrants would be identical to ACE’s private placement warrants. In the event that ACE does not complete its initial business combination within the prescribed time frame, ACE may use a portion of its working capital held outside of its trust account to repay any Working Capital Loans made to ACE, but no proceeds held in the trust account would be used to repay such Working Capital Loans, and the applicable related party lender or lenders may not be able to recover the value it or they have loaned to ACE pursuant to such Working Capital Loans. On August 12, 2020, ACE entered into a working capital facility (the “Working Capital Facility”) with ASIA-IO Advisors Limited (“ASIA-IO”), an affiliate of the Sponsor, in the aggregate amount of $1,500,000. The funds from the Working Capital Facility will be utilized to finance transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination. The Working Capital Facility is non-interest bearing, non-convertible and due to be repaid upon the consummation of a Business Combination. In return, ACE deposited $900,000 into an account held by ASIA-IO, from which the Company may make fund withdrawals for up to $1,500,000. As part of the Working Capital Facility, ASIA-IO waived the right to convert the Working Capital Loan into private placement warrants. Any outstanding amounts deposited with ASIA-IO upon the completion of a Business Combination or dissolution of ACE, will be returned to ACE. In November 2020, the deposit amount was reduced by $850,000. As of June 30, 2022, ACE had $829,295 of borrowings under the Working Capital Facility.

● On January 13, 2022, ACE entered into a Convertible Promissory Note (as amended and restated on June 30, 2022, the “Promissory Note”) with the Sponsor. Pursuant to the Promissory Note, the Sponsor has agreed that it will contribute to ACE as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “Contribution”) $0.03 for each Class A ordinary share of ACE that was not redeemed in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the extension of the deadline by which ACE must complete its initial business combination, for each month (or a pro rata portion thereof if less than a month) until the earlier of (i) the date of the extraordinary general meeting held in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the Business Combination and (ii) $1.5 million has been loaned. Up to $1.5 million of the loans may be settled in whole warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares of ACE at a conversion price equal to $1.00 per warrant. The Contribution(s) will not bear any interest, and will be repayable by ACE to the Sponsor upon the earlier of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination and the consummation of the Business Combination. ACE’s board of directors will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional months until $1.5 million in the aggregate has been loaned, and if ACE’s board of directors determines not to continue extending for additional months, the Sponsor’s obligation to make additional Contributions will terminate. If this occurs, ACE would wind up ACE’s affairs and redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in ACE’s Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. The maturity date of the Promissory Note may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined therein). Any outstanding principal under the Promissory Note may be prepaid at any time by ACE, at its election and without penalty, provided, however, that the Sponsor shall have a right to first convert such principal balance as described in Section 6 of the Promissory Note upon notice of such prepayment. If the Business Combination is not completed and ACE winds up, there will not be sufficient assets to repay the Promissory Note and it will be worthless. On June 30, 2022, ACE and the Sponsor amended and restated the Promissory Note in its entirety to, among other things, increase the aggregate principal amount available thereunder from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000, contingent upon the approval by ACE’s shareholders of the extension of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination to October 13, 2022. Monthly deposits into the trust account following the July 2022 redemptions are based on the number of public shares still outstanding following such redemptions. On August 28, 2022, ACE and the Sponsor amended and restated the Sponsor Loan in its entirety to, among other things, increase the aggregate principal amount available thereunder from $2,000,000 to $2,125,000, the effectiveness of which is conditioned upon the approval by ACE’s shareholders of the proposal to amend ACE’s Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which ACE must consummate an initial business combination from October 13, 2022, to January 30, 2023. Monthly deposits into ACE’s trust account following such extension will be based on the number of public shares still outstanding following such extension.

● Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Sponsor and ACE’s directors and officers will have customary registration rights, including demand and piggy-back rights, subject to cooperation and cut-back provisions with respect to the shares of New Tempo’s common stock and warrants held by such parties following the consummation of the Business Combination.

● On July 1, 2022, ACE, Tempo and AEPI entered into the Bridge Note, pursuant to which AEPI agreed to loan to Tempo up to an aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million, $2.5 million of which was advanced to Tempo as of June

54

30, 2022. On August 25, 2022, in connection with the Bridge Financing, the Bridge Note was amended and restated on substantially similar terms to the August 2022 Bridge Notes. In connection with the entry into the Bridge Note, on July 1, 2022, AEPI and ACE entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Bridge Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which AEPI agreed, at the closing of the Business Combination, to subscribe for up to 500,000 shares of New Tempo common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. The number of shares AEPI committed to purchase would be automatically reduced in an amount equal to (a) the difference between $5,000,000 and the Bridge Note Drawn Amount, divided by (b) $10.00, rounded up to the nearest whole share. On September 7, 2022, the Bridge Subscription Agreement was terminated in its entirety in connection with the amendment and restatement by ACE, Tempo and AEPI of the Bridge Note in connection with the Bridge Financing.

The Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers, and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how our public shareholders vote. Unlike some other blank check companies in which the initial shareholders agree to vote their shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the public shareholders in connection with an initial business combination, the Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers, and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Sponsor Support Agreement. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, and due to the redemption of (i) 14,797,723 public shares in January 2022 and (ii) the redemption of 4,256,979 public shares in connection with the shareholder vote in July 2022, in each case in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the extension of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination, the Sponsor (including ACE’s directors, officers, and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees) owns 59.31% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares.

Subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material nonpublic information), the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may (i) purchase public shares from institutional and other investors (including those who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the Condition Precedent Proposals, or elect to redeem, or indicate an intention to redeem, public shares), (ii) enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives not redeem their public shares, or (iii) execute agreements to purchase such public shares from such investors or enter into non-redemption agreements in the future. In the event that the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates purchase public shares in situations in which the tender offer rules restrictions on purchases would apply, they (a) would purchase the public shares at a price no higher than the price offered through the ACE redemption process (i.e., approximately $10.17 per share based on trust account figures as of June 30, 2022); (b) would represent in writing that such public shares will not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination; and (c) would waive in writing any redemption rights with respect to the public shares so purchased.

To the extent any such purchases are made by the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates in situations in which the tender offer rules and restrictions on purchases apply, ACE will disclose in a Current Report on Form 8-K prior to the extraordinary general meeting the following: (i) the number of ACE public shares purchased outside of the redemption offer, along with the purchase price(s) for such public shares; (ii) the purpose of any such purchases; (iii) the impact, if any, of the purchases on the likelihood that the Business Combination Proposal will be approved; (iv) the identities of the ACE securityholders who sold to the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of the securityholders (e.g., 5% security holders) who sold such public shares; and (v) the number of ordinary shares for which ACE has received redemption requests pursuant to its redemption offer.

The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of (x) satisfaction of the Minimum Cash Condition, (y) otherwise limiting the number of public shares electing to redeem and (z) ACE’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) being at least $5,000,001. A purchase of warrants by the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may have the effect of increasing share ownership of Tempo on a fully diluted basis.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Consistent with SEC guidance, purchases of shares by the persons described above would not be permitted to be voted for the Business Combination at the extraordinary general meeting and could decrease the chances that the Business Combination would be approved. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our securities and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.

55

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of ACE’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of ACE and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself, or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, ACE’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section titled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of ACE’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Interests of Tempo’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination

In considering the approval, and recommendation of stockholder approval, by the Tempo board of directors with respect to the Merger Agreement, Tempo stockholders should keep in mind that Tempo’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to (and that may conflict with), those of Tempo stockholders. The Tempo board of directors was aware of such interests during its deliberations on the merits of the Business Combination. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

● Certain of Tempo’s directors and executive officers are expected to become directors and/or executive officers of New Tempo upon the Closing. Specifically, the following individuals who are currently executive officers of Tempo are expected to become executive officers of New Tempo upon the Closing, serving in the offices set forth opposite their names below:

Name	Position
Joy Weiss	President, Chief Executive Officer and Director Nominee
Ryan Benton	Chief Financial Officer and Secretary and Director Nominee

● Ryan Benton, the Chief Financial Officer of Tempo, is also a director of ACE and as such is considered an interested party to the Business Combination. Mr. Benton recused himself from the ACE board of directors meetings and certain votes regarding the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination.

● Upon the Closing, Joy Weiss, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tempo, Ryan Benton, Chief Financial Officer of Tempo, Matthew Granade, Director of Tempo, Jacqueline Dee Schneider, Director of Tempo, Behrooz Abdi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ACE, and Omid Tahernia, Director of ACE, are expected to become members of the Board. In addition to these current members of both Tempo and ACE’s boards, other parties, are being evaluated to become members of the Board upon the Closing.

Certain of Tempo’s executive officers and directors as of the date of the Merger Agreement hold Tempo Options. The treatment of such Tempo Options in connection with the Business Combination is described in “Business Combination Proposal — Consideration — Treatment of Tempo Options,” which description is incorporated by reference herein. The holding of such Tempo Options by such executive officers and directors as of June 30, 2022, is set forth in the table below.

	Tempo Options
Executive Officers and Directors	Vested	Unvested
Joy Weiss	2,091,625	1,143,511
Ryan Benton	371,404	937,434
Matthew Granade	79,578	226,005
Jacqueline Dee Schneider	87,078	47,748
Jeffrey McAlvay	881,297	—
Sri Chandrasekar	—	—

Recommendation to Shareholders of ACE

ACE’s board of directors believes that the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting are in the best interest of ACE’s shareholders and recommends that its shareholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Domestication Proposal, “FOR” the Stock Issuance Proposal, “FOR” each of the separate Organizational Documents Proposals, “FOR” the Director Election Proposal, “FOR” the Incentive Award Plan Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented to the extraordinary general meeting.

56

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of ACE’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of ACE and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself, or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, ACE’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section titled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of ACE’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination

The following table summarizes the sources and uses for funding the Business Combination. These figures assume (i) that no public shareholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination or our extension proposal and (ii) that New Tempo issues or reserves for issuance 14,542,196 shares of New Tempo common stock to the Tempo Stockholders as part of the Aggregate Merger Consideration. If the actual facts are different from these assumptions, the below figures will be different.

(1) Calculated using amounts as of June 30, 2022, net against the July 2022 redemption of 4,256,979 public shares.

(2) 1.1 million shares issued in the PIPE Investment are at a deemed value of $10.00 per share. Included in this amount are 500,000 shares of New Tempo common stock which are converted from existing indebtedness held by lenders under the Loan and Security Agreement. The conversion is in accordance with the Repayment Term Sheet.

(3) Reflects the settlement of Tempo’s outstanding debt under the Loan and Security Agreement of $31.3 million at closing plus make whole payments of $2.3 million related to the prepayment of debt. Also reflects $2.1 million to repay the ACE Working Capital Facility and Promissory Note. Of the total settlement of Tempo’s outstanding debt, $5.0 million will be converted into New Tempo common stock, $22.0 million will be converted into New Tempo Senior Notes, $3.6 million will be converted into the August 2022 Bridge Notes and the remaining $5.1 million will be repaid in cash upon the closing of the Business Combination.

(4) If we assume redemptions of 2,990,612 Class A ordinary shares of ACE in connection with the Business Combination at approximately $10.16 per share based on trust account figures as of June 30, 2022, and including the expected proceeds received from the Promissory Note with the Sponsor, which is the maximum redemptions scenario described under the section titled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information — Basis of Pro Forma Presentation,” we expect to satisfy the Minimum Available Acquiror Cash Amount required to consummate the Business Combination of at least $10.0 million, after giving effect to the PIPE Investment and before giving effect to the payment of the estimated transaction costs of $37.0 million, including ACE’s deferred underwriting commissions from its IPO which will be settled through the issuance of New Tempo shares, incurred in connection with the Business Combination. As of          , 2022, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor’s obligation is approximately $      per public share.

(5) Includes transaction costs due at Closing, including approximately $1.2 million in fees owed under the Oaktree Termination, but does not include the deferred termination fee of approximately $1.1 million to be paid six months after the Closing. The remaining $33.4 million in transaction costs are deferred until after Closing with the exception of $8.1 million in deferred underwriting commissions under the Cantor Purchase Agreement which are paid upon Closing and settled through the issuance of New Tempo shares.

57

(6) Amount reflects the conversion of existing indebtedness held by lenders under the Loan and Security Agreement into New Tempo Senior Notes of $22.0 million. The conversion is in accordance with the Repyament Term Sheet.

(7) Amount reflects the August 2022 Bridge Notes held by the lenders under the Loan and Security Agreement. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, the lenders will convert $3.6 million of their existing indebtedness into the August 2022 Bridge Notes.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

For a discussion summarizing the U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Domestication and exercise of redemption rights, please see “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Expected Accounting Treatment

The Domestication

There will be no accounting effect or change in the carrying amount of the consolidated assets and liabilities of the Company as a result of the Domestication. The business, capitalization, assets and liabilities and financial statements of New Tempo immediately following the Domestication will be the same as those of ACE immediately prior to the Domestication.

The Business Combination

We expect the Business Combination to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, ACE is expected to be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of New Tempo will represent a continuation of the financial statements of Tempo with the Business Combination treated as the equivalent of Tempo issuing stock for the net assets of ACE, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of ACE will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of Tempo in future reports of the New Tempo. See the subsection titled “The Business Combination — Expected Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination.”

Regulatory Matters

Under the HSR Act and the rules that have been promulgated thereunder by the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), certain transactions may not be consummated unless an HSR Notification and Report Form has been furnished to the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (“Antitrust Division”) and the FTC by each party and certain waiting period requirements have been satisfied. The Business Combination is subject to these requirements and may not be completed until the expiration of a 30-day waiting period following the two filings of the required Notification and Report Forms with the Antitrust Division and the FTC or until early termination is granted. On October 27, 2021, ACE and Tempo filed the required forms under the HSR Act with respect to the Business Combination with the Antitrust Division and the FTC and requested early termination.

At any time before or after consummation of the Business Combination, notwithstanding expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, the Antitrust Division or the FTC, or any state, foreign or other governmental authority could take such action under applicable antitrust laws as such authority deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to enjoin the consummation of the Business Combination, conditionally approving the Business Combination upon divestiture of assets or other remedies, and/or subjecting the completion of the Business Combination to regulatory conditions or seeking other remedies. Private parties may also seek to take legal action under the antitrust laws under certain circumstances.

ACE cannot assure you that the Antitrust Division, the FTC, any state attorney general, or any other government authority will not attempt to challenge the Business Combination on antitrust grounds, and, if such a challenge is made, ACE cannot assure you as to its result.

Neither ACE nor Tempo is aware of any material regulatory approvals or actions that are required for completion of the Business Combination other than the expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act. It is presently contemplated that if any such additional regulatory approvals or actions are required, those approvals or actions will be sought. There can be no assurance, however, that any additional approvals or actions will be obtained.

Recent Developments

On May 19, 2022, Citi resigned from its role as financial advisor to Tempo and as a placement agent to the Company for the proposed PIPE Investment. Citi’s resignation was not the result of any dispute or disagreement with the Company or Tempo or any matter relating to the Company’s or Tempo’s respective operations, policies, procedures or practices. In connection with its resignation, Citi waived any claim it may have to any fees under the engagement letters entered into with each of the Company and Tempo and, accordingly, neither the Company nor Tempo has paid to Citi, and neither the Company nor Tempo is liable to Citi for, any fees, despite Citi’s having rendered substantially all applicable services at the time of its resignation. Citi did not provide specific reasons for its resignation, and neither the Company nor Tempo will speculate about the reasons why Citi withdrew from its role as financial advisor to Tempo and as a placement agent to the Company for the PIPE Investment and forfeited its fees after doing substantially all of the work necessary to earn those fees. Neither the Company nor Tempo intends to engage any additional advisors or placement agents as a result of Citi’s resignation, and the fees previously owed to Citi will not be paid or reallocated to any other advisor or placement agent. Citi was not expected to have a significant role in the closing of the Business Combination, and the Company does not believe that Citi’s resignation will impact the transactions described in this proxy statement/prospectus or the consummation of the Business Combination.

As is customary, certain provisions of Citi’s engagement letters with each of the Company and Tempo will survive Citi’s resignation. These provisions include the obligations of the Company and Tempo to indemnify and hold harmless Citi and its officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any losses and claims arising in any manner out of or in connection with the services that Citi provided to the Company or Tempo under the engagement letters and certain obligations of the Company and Tempo to maintain the confidentiality of information or advice rendered by Citi or any of its representatives to the Company or Tempo, as applicable, in connection with the evaluation of the Business Combination.

The Company does not expect that the PIPE Investment will be impacted by Citi’s resignation. Committed and potential investors in the PIPE Investment have been informed of Citi’s resignation, and no investors have revised or withdrawn their respective commitments in light of that information. The PIPE Investment is not contingent upon any continued involvement by Citi in the transactions and, pursuant to the subscription agreements relating to the PIPE Investment, each investor in the PIPE Investment specifically has disclaimed reliance on any statement, representation or warranty made by, among others, each of the placement agents, including Citi, in connection with such investment.

The disclosure in this proxy statement/prospectus pertaining to Citi’s engagement as financial advisor to Tempo and as a placement agent to the Company for the proposed equity and convertible note private placement investments to be consummated in connection with the Business Combination, as well as Citi’s subsequent resignation, has been provided to Citi. Citi’s confirmation that Citi agrees with this disclosure was requested, but Citi has indicated that it does not intend to provide a response to this request.

Some investors may believe that when a financial institution, such as Citi, is named in a registration or proxy statement, the involvement of such institution implies a level of due diligence and independent analysis on the part of such financial institution and that the naming of such financial institution generally means that the financial institution has completed a level of due diligence ordinarily associated with a professional engagement. However, in connection with its resignation, Citi has disclaimed responsibility for any portion of the disclosure included in this proxy statement/prospectus. Neither the Company nor Tempo can provide any assurance that Citi agrees with the disclosure in this proxy statement/prospectus, and no inference should be drawn to this effect. Investors should not place any reliance on the fact that Citi was involved with any aspect of the transactions described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

At no time prior to or after its resignation through the date of this filing did Citi indicate that it had any specific concerns with the Business Combination. Citi did not prepare or provide any of the disclosures in this proxy statement/prospectus, any analysis underlying the disclosures or any other materials or work product to the Company or Tempo that have been provided to the Company’s shareholders or the investors in the PIPE Investment. As with other members of the transaction working group, Citi did receive drafts of proxy statement/prospectus prepared by the Company and Tempo and provided limited comments in the ordinary course.

The Company did not rely on Citi, in its role as a placement agent to the Company for the proposed equity and convertible note private placement investments to be consummated in connection with the Business Combination, in the preparation and analysis of the materials, including projections, provided to the board of directors of the Company for use as a component of its overall evaluation of Tempo. The board of directors of the Company did not receive or rely upon any financial or valuation analyses conducted or prepared by Citi in making its determination that the Merger Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business

59

Combination, were just, equitable and fair as to the Company and that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to enter into the Merger Agreement subject to the terms and conditions agreed upon by the parties thereto.

The Company believes that the resignation of Citi and the waiver of fees for services that have already been rendered is unusual. It is possible that the Company’s shareholders may be more likely to elect to redeem their shares as a result of this resignation and as a result, the Company may not have sufficient funds to meet the Minimum Cash Condition in the Merger Agreement.

Emerging Growth Company

ACE is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and for so long as it remains an emerging growth company 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 auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

● reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in ACE’s periodic reports, proxy statements, and registration statements;

● exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved; and

● an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards by allowing an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of such accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act.

We have elected to take advantage of certain of the reduced disclosure obligations in this proxy statement/prospectus and may elect to take advantage of other reduced reporting requirements in future filings and reports. Accordingly, the information that we provide to our stockholders may be different than you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests.

We have also elected under the JOBS Act to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Accordingly, our financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of public companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

We may take advantage of these provisions until the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of ACE’s initial public offering. If certain events occur prior to the end of such five-year period, including if (i) we become a “large accelerated filer” which means at least $700.0 million of equity securities are held by non-affiliates as of the last business day of our second fiscal quarter; our annual gross revenue exceeds $1.07 billion; or (ii) we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt in any three-year period, we will cease to be an emerging growth company prior to the end of such five- year period.

Smaller Reporting Company

ACE is also a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an emerging growth company. We will remain a smaller reporting company and may take advantage of certain scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies for so long as our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter or our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and our equity securities held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.

Summary of Risk Factors

In evaluating the proposals to be presented at the ACE extraordinary general meeting, a shareholder should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus and especially consider the factors discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors.” Below are some of these risks, any one of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

● The success of New Tempo’s business is dependent on New Tempo’s ability to keep pace with technological changes and competitive conditions in New Tempo’s industry and New Tempo’s ability to effectively adapt New Tempo’s services as New Tempo’s customers react to technological changes and competitive conditions in their respective industries. New Tempo may not timely and effectively scale and adapt New Tempo’s existing technology, processes, and infrastructure to meet the needs of New Tempo’s business.

● New Tempo’s operating results and financial condition may fluctuate from period to period and may fall below expectations in any particular period, which could adversely affect the market price of New Tempo common stock.

● Tempo currently competes, and New Tempo will compete, with numerous other diversified manufacturing service providers, electronic manufacturing services and design providers and others, and may face increasing competition, which could cause its operating results to suffer.

● Because Tempo’s industry is, and New Tempo’s industry is expected to continue to be, rapidly evolving, forecasts of market growth may not be accurate, and even if these markets achieve the forecasted growth, there can be no assurance that New Tempo’s business will grow at similar rates, or at all.

● New Tempo’s gross profit and gross margin will be dependent on a number of factors, including its mix of services, market prices, labor costs and availability, acquisitions it may make and its ability to achieve cost synergies, level of capacity utilization and component, material, and other services prices.

● Tempo purchases, and New Tempo will purchase, a significant amount of the materials and components it uses from a limited number of suppliers, and if such suppliers become unavailable or inadequate, its customer relationships, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

● Third-party lawsuits and assertions to which New Tempo may become subject alleging its infringement of patents, trade secrets or other intellectual property rights may have a significant adverse effect on its financial condition.

● New Tempo may be involved in legal proceedings, including intellectual property (“IP”), anti-competition and securities litigation, employee-related claims and regulatory investigations, which could, among other things, divert efforts of management and result in significant expense and loss of Tempo’s existing IP rights.

● An inability to successfully manage the procurement, development, implementation, or execution of IT systems, or to adequately maintain these systems and their security, as well as to protect data and other confidential information, may adversely affect New Tempo’s business and reputation.

● Tempo’s industry routinely experiences cyclical market patterns and Tempo’s services are, and New Tempo’s services are expected to be, used across different end markets, and a significant downturn in the industry or in any of these end markets could cause a meaningful reduction in demand for New Tempo’s services and harm its operating results.

● Tempo will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and New Tempo’s management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance and investor relations initiatives.

● The Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how ACE’s public shareholders vote.

● Since the Sponsor and ACE’s directors and executive officers have interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of ACE’s shareholders, a conflict of interest may have existed in determining whether the

61

Business Combination with Tempo is appropriate as ACE’s initial business combination. Such interests include that the Sponsor will lose its entire investment in ACE if the Business Combination is not completed.

● Following the consummation of the Business Combination, ACE’s only significant asset will be its ownership interest in Tempo and such ownership may not be sufficient to pay dividends or make distributions or loans to enable ACE to pay any dividends on New Tempo common stock or satisfy ACE’s other financial obligations.

● ACE’s public stockholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of New Tempo common stock as consideration in the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment and due to future issuances pursuant to the 2022 Plan.

● Tempo and ACE previously identified material weaknesses in their internal control over financial reporting and may face litigation and other risks as a result of the material weakness in their internal control over financial reporting.

● If analysts do not publish research about New Tempo’s business or if they publish inaccurate or unfavorable research, New Tempo’s stock price and trading volume could decline.

● New Tempo’s Proposed Certificate of Incorporation will provide that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between New Tempo and its stockholders and that the federal district courts shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which could limit New Tempo’s stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with New Tempo or New Tempo’s directors, officers or employees.

● Tempo is an early-stage company with a history of losses. Tempo has not been profitable historically and New Tempo may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future.

● Tempo’s limited operating history makes evaluating Tempo’s current business and New Tempo’s future prospects difficult and may increase the risk of your investment. Tempo is dependent on a limited number of customers and end markets, and a decline in revenue from, or the loss of, any significant customer, could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and operating results.

The summary risk factors described above should be read together with the text of the full risk factors in the section titled “Risk Factors” and the other information set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. The risks summarized above or described in full under the section titled “Risk Factors” are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not precisely known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects.

COMPARATIVE PER SHARE INFORMATION

The comparative per share information sets forth summary historical per share information for ACE and Tempo and unaudited pro forma condensed combined per share information after giving effect to the Business Combination, presented under two assumed redemption scenarios as follows:

● Assuming No Redemptions — this scenario assumes that no public stockholders of ACE exercise their redemption rights with respect to their public shares for a pro rata share of the funds in the trust account.

● Assuming Maximum Redemptions — this scenario assumes 2,990,612 of the public shares are redeemed for their pro rata share of the funds in ACE’s trust account for an aggregate payment of $30.4 million, which is derived from the number of shares that could be redeemed in connection with the Business Combination at an assumed redemption price of approximately $10.16 per share based on funds held in the trust account as of June 30, 2022, including the expected proceeds received from the Promissory Note with the Sponsor, and still satisfy the Minimum Available Acquiror Cash Amount required to consummate the Business Combination of at least $10.0 million, after giving effect to the PIPE Investment and before giving effect to the payment of the estimated transaction costs of $37.1 million, including ACE’s deferred underwriting commissions from its IPO, incurred in connection with the Business Combination.

The selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined book value information as of June 30, 2022, gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred on June 30, 2022. The selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined net income (loss) per share and weighted average shares outstanding information for the year ended December 31, 2021 and for the six months ended June 30, 2022, gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred on January 1, 2021.

The two alternative levels of redemptions assumed in the selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined per share information are based on the assumption that there are no adjustments for the outstanding Warrants issued in connection with the IPO as such securities are not exercisable until 30 days after the Closing. There are also no adjustments for the estimated 610,197 shares reserved for the potential future issuance of New Tempo common stock upon the exercise of the New Tempo Options to be issued to holders of Tempo Options upon the consummation of the Business Combination, as such events have not yet occurred.

This information is only a summary and should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of ACE and Tempo and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined per share information of ACE and Tempo is derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus in the section titled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined income (loss) per share information below does not purport to represent the income (loss) per share which would have occurred had the companies been combined during the periods presented, nor earnings per share for any future date or period. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined book value per share information below does not purport to represent what the value of ACE and Tempo would have been had the companies been combined during the periods presented.

Holders of the units, public shares and public warrants should obtain current market quotations for their securities. The market price of ACE’s securities could vary at any time before the Business Combination.

Holders

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus there was one holder of record of ACE’s Class A ordinary shares, six holders of record of ACE’s Class B ordinary shares, one holder of record of ACE units and three holders of ACE warrants. See “Beneficial Ownership of Securities.”

Dividend Policy

ACE has not paid any cash dividends on its Class A ordinary shares to date and does not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the completion of the Business Combination. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon the revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition of New Tempo subsequent to completion of the Business Combination. The payment of any cash dividends subsequent to the Business Combination will be within the discretion of New Tempo’s board of directors. ACE’s board of directors is not currently contemplating and does not anticipate declaring stock dividends nor is it currently expected that New Tempo’s board of directors will declare any dividends in the foreseeable future. Further, the ability of New Tempo to declare dividends may be limited by the terms of financing or other agreements entered into by New Tempo or its subsidiaries from time to time.

Price Range of Tempo’s Securities

RISK FACTORS

ACE shareholders should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus, before they decide whether to vote or instruct their vote to be cast to approve the relevant proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Risks Relating to Tempo’s Business and Industry

The success of New Tempo’s business is dependent on New Tempo’s ability to keep pace with technological changes and competitive conditions in New Tempo’s industry, and New Tempo’s ability to effectively adapt New Tempo’s services as New Tempo’s customers react to technological changes and competitive conditions in their respective industries. New Tempo may not timely and effectively scale and adapt New Tempo’s existing technology, processes, and infrastructure to meet the needs of New Tempo’s business.

The success of New Tempo’s business is dependent on New Tempo’s ability to keep pace with technological changes and competitive conditions in New Tempo’s industry, and New Tempo’s ability to effectively adapt New Tempo’s services as New Tempo’s customers react to technological changes and competitive conditions in their respective industries. New Tempo may not timely and effectively scale and adapt New Tempo’s existing technology, processes, and infrastructure to meet the needs of New Tempo’s business. If New Tempo is unable to offer technologically advanced, high quality, quick turnaround, cost effective manufacturing services that are differentiated from New Tempo’s competition, or if New Tempo is unable to adapt those services as New Tempo’s customers’ requirements change, demand for New Tempo’s services may decline.

New Tempo’s operating results and financial condition may fluctuate from period to period and may fall below expectations in any particular period, which could adversely affect the market price of New Tempo’s common stock.

Tempo’s operating results and financial condition have historically fluctuated, and New Tempo’s operating results and financial condition are expected to continue to fluctuate, from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year due to a number of factors, many of which will not be within New Tempo’s control.

Both Tempo’s business and the electronics manufacturing industry are changing and evolving rapidly, and Tempo’s historical operating results may not be useful in predicting New Tempo’s future operating results. If New Tempo’s operating results do not meet the guidance that it provides to the marketplace or the expectations of securities analysts or investors, the market price of New Tempo’s common stock will likely decline. Fluctuations in New Tempo’s operating results and financial condition may be due to a number of factors, including:

● the degree of market acceptance of its services;

● its ability to compete with competitors and new entrants into New Tempo’s markets;

● the mix of services that it sells during any period;

● the timing of its sales and deliveries to customers;

● the geographic distribution of its sales;

● changes in its pricing policies or those of its competitors, including its response to price competition;

● changes in the amount that it spends to develop and manufacture new services or technologies;

● changes in the amounts that it spends to promote its services;

● changes in the cost of satisfying its warranty obligations;

● expenses and/or liabilities resulting from litigation;

66

● unforeseen liabilities or difficulties in integrating its acquisitions or newly acquired businesses;

● disruptions to its information technology systems;

● general economic and industry conditions that affect customer demand;

● the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its customers, suppliers, manufacturers, and operations; and

● changes in accounting rules and tax laws.

Due to the foregoing factors, and the other risks discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus, you should not rely on quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year comparisons of Tempo’s operating results as an indicator of New Tempo’s future performance.

Tempo currently competes, and New Tempo will compete, with numerous other diversified manufacturing service providers, electronic manufacturing services and design providers and others, and may face increasing competition, which could cause New Tempo’s operating results to suffer.

Tempo’s industry is, and New Tempo’s industry will continue to be, highly competitive. Tempo competes, and New Tempo will compete, against numerous domestic and foreign electronic manufacturers, manufacturing service providers, and design providers. These companies could decrease their pricing, thereby increasing competitive pressures for New Tempo. Additionally, these competitors may:

● respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies or changes in customer requirements;

● have engineering capabilities and/or manufacturing resources that are greater than New Tempo’s;

● have greater name recognition, critical mass, and geographic market presence;

● be better able to take advantage of acquisition opportunities;

● devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their services and execution of their strategy;

● be better positioned to compete on price for their services;

● have excess capacity, and be better able to utilize such excess capacity;

● have greater direct buying power from component suppliers, distributors, and raw material suppliers;

● have lower cost structures as a result of their geographic location or the services they provide;

● be willing or able to make sales or provide services at lower margins than New Tempo does;

● have increased vertical capabilities providing them greater cost savings.

Tempo also faces, and New Tempo will continue to face, competition from the manufacturing operations of its current and potential customers, some of whom may be evaluating the merits of manufacturing products internally against the advantages of outsourcing.

The actions of competitors and current and potential customers could cause a decline New in Tempo’s sales and/or compression of New Tempo’s profits.

Customer relationships with emerging companies may present more risks than with established companies.

Customer relationships with emerging companies present special risks because Tempo does not have, and New Tempo will not have, an extensive services or customer relationship history. Tempo’s credit risk on these customers, especially in trade accounts

67

receivable and inventories, and the risk that these customers will be unable to fulfill indemnification obligations to Tempo is potentially increased. Tempo sometimes offers these customers extended payment terms and other support and financial accommodations which may increase New Tempo’s financial exposure.

New Tempo may be adversely affected by supply chain issues, including shortages of required electronic components and raw materials.

In the past there have been, and presently there are, industry wide conditions, natural disasters, and global events that have caused component and material shortages. These have increased the time between booking and billing, increased component and material costs (though we have been able to pass those on to our customers), and increased the frequency of customers pre-ordering components and materials with us in anticipation of future assembly orders (though customers who pre-order components and materials with us are more likely to place future assembly orders with us). While we make efforts to consider these factors in our forecasts, it’s difficult to judge the duration of the global semiconductor shortage, the degree to which it will continue to have these effects, and the degree to which the aforementioned mitigating factors will continue to persist.

More broadly, strategic and efficient component and materials purchasing is an aspect of Tempo’s, and will continue to be an aspect of New Tempo’s, strategy. When prices rise, they may impact New Tempo’s margins and results of operations if New Tempo is not able to pass the increases through to New Tempo’s customers or otherwise offset them. Some of the products Tempo manufactures, and New Tempo will manufacture, require one or more components that are only available from a single source. Some of these components or materials are subject to supply shortages from time to time. In some cases, supply shortages will substantially curtail production of all assemblies using a particular component. A supply shortage can also increase New Tempo’s cost of goods sold if New Tempo has to pay higher prices for components or materials in limited supply or cause New Tempo to have to reconfigure products to accommodate a substitute component or material. New Tempo’s production of a customer’s product could be negatively impacted by any quality, reliability, or availability issues with any of New Tempo’s components and material suppliers. The financial condition of Tempo’s or New Tempo’s suppliers could affect their ability to supply components or materials and their ability to satisfy any warranty obligations they may have, which could have a material adverse effect on New Tempo’s results of operations.

If a component or material shortage is threatened or anticipated, Tempo or New Tempo may purchase its components or materials early to avoid a delay or interruption in Tempo’s operations. Purchasing components or materials early may materially increase inventory carrying costs and may result in inventory obsolescence, which could materially adversely affect New Tempo’s results of operations. A component shortage may also require to the use of second tier vendors or the procurement of components or materials through new and untested brokers. These components or materials may be of lesser quality than those Tempo has historically purchased and could result in material costs to bring such components or materials up to necessary quality levels or to replace defective ones.

New Tempo’s gross profit and gross margin will be dependent on a number of factors, including New Tempo’s services mix, market prices, labor costs and availability, acquisitions New Tempo may make and New Tempo’s ability to achieve cost synergies, level of capacity utilization and component, material, and other services prices.

New Tempo’s gross margin will be highly dependent on service mix, which is susceptible to seasonal and other fluctuations in New Tempo’s markets. A shift in sales mix away from New Tempo’s higher margin services could adversely affect New Tempo’s future gross margin percentages. In addition, increased competition and the existence of service alternatives, more complex engineering requirements, lower demand or reductions in New Tempo’s technological lead compared to New Tempo’s competitors, and other factors may lead to further price erosion, lower revenue and lower margin.

In addition, prototype and on-demand electronics manufacturing requires significant capital investment, leading to high fixed costs, including depreciation expense. If New Tempo is unable to utilize New Tempo’s owned manufacturing facilities at a high level, the fixed costs associated with these facilities will not be fully absorbed, resulting in higher average unit costs and a lower gross margin. Furthermore, fluctuations in commodity prices could negatively impact New Tempo’s margins.

New Tempo’s gross margin may also be adversely affected if businesses or companies that Tempo acquires have different gross margin profiles and by expenses related to such acquisitions.

68

Many of New Tempo’s anticipated customers operate in industries that experience rapid technological change resulting in short product life cycles and as a result, if the product life cycles of its customers slow materially, and research and development expenditures are reduced, its financial condition, business and results of operations will be materially adversely affected.

Many of New Tempo’s anticipated customers compete in markets that are characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and continuous improvement in products and services. These conditions frequently result in short product life cycles. As professionals operating in research and development departments are expected to represent the majority of New Tempo’s net sales, the rapid development of electronic products will be a key driver of New Tempo’s sales and operating performance. Any decline in the development and introduction of new electronic products could slow the demand for New Tempo’s services and could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, business and results of operations.

If demand for New Tempo’s services does not grow as expected, or develops more slowly than expected, New Tempo’s revenues may stagnate or decline, and New Tempo’s business may be adversely affected.

New Tempo may not be able to develop effective strategies to raise awareness among potential customers of the benefits of software-accelerated electronics manufacturing or New Tempo’s services may not address the specific needs or provide the level of functionality or economics required by potential customers to encourage the electronics market to shift towards software-accelerated electronics manufacturing. If software-accelerated electronics manufacturing technology does not gain broader market acceptance as an alternative to conventional manufacturing processes, or does so more slowly than anticipated, or if the marketplace adopts electronics manufacturing technologies that differ from New Tempo’s technologies, New Tempo may not be able to increase or sustain the level of sales of New Tempo’s services, and New Tempo’s operating results would be adversely affected as a result.

Defects in shipped products that give rise to returns or warranty or other claims could result in material expenses, diversion of management time and attention, adversely affect customer relationships, and damage to New Tempo’s reputation.

New Tempo’s printed circuit board assemblies may be complex and may contain undetected defects or errors. This could result in delayed market acceptance of services New Tempo offers or claims from customers or others, which may result in litigation, increased end user warranty, support and repair or replacement costs, damage to New Tempo’s reputation and business, or significant costs and diversion of support and engineering personnel to correct the defect or error. New Tempo may from time to time become subject to warranty claims related to product quality issues that could lead New Tempo to incur significant expenses.

Tempo attempts to include provisions in Tempo’s agreements with customers that are designed to limit Tempo’s exposure to potential liability for damages arising from defects or errors in Tempo’s products. However, it is possible that these limitations may not be effective as a result of unfavorable judicial decisions or laws enacted in the future.

The sale and support of New Tempo’s products entails the risk of product liability claims. Any product liability claim brought against Tempo or New Tempo, regardless of its merit, could result in material expense, diversion of management time and attention, damage to New Tempo’s business and reputation and brand, and cause New Tempo to fail to retain existing customers or to fail to attract new customers.

New Tempo may be involved in legal proceedings, including intellectual property (“IP”), anti-competition and securities litigation, employee-related claims, and regulatory investigations, which could, among other things, divert efforts of management and result in significant expense and loss of New Tempo’s IP rights.

New Tempo may be involved in legal proceedings, including cases involving New Tempo’s IP rights and those of others, anti-competition and commercial matters, acquisition-related suits, securities class action suits, employee-related claims and other actions. From time to time, New Tempo may also be involved or required to participate in regulatory investigations or inquiries which may evolve into legal or other administrative proceedings. Litigation or settlement of such actions, regardless of their merit, or involvement in regulatory investigations or inquiries, can be costly, lengthy, complex and time consuming, diverting the attention and energies of New Tempo’s management and technical personnel.

From time to time, third parties may assert against New Tempo and New Tempo’s customers their IP rights to technologies that are important to New Tempo’s business.

Many of New Tempo’s customer agreements and/or the laws of certain jurisdictions may require New Tempo to indemnify its customers or purchasers for third-party IP infringement claims, including costs to defend those claims, and payment of damages in the

69

case of adverse rulings. However, New Tempo’s suppliers may or may not be required to indemnify New Tempo should New Tempo or its customers be subject to such third-party claims. Claims of this sort could also harm New Tempo’s relationships with its customers and might deter future customers from doing business with us. If any pending or future proceedings result in an adverse outcome, Tempo or New Tempo could be required to:

● cease the sale of the infringing services, processes, or technology and/or make changes to Tempo’s or New Tempo’s services, processes or technology;

● pay substantial damages for past, present and future use of the infringing technology, including up to treble damages if willful infringement is found;

● pay fines or disgorge profits or other payments, and/or cease certain conduct and/or modify Tempo’s or New Tempo’s contracting or business practices, in connection with any unfavorable resolution of a governmental investigation;

● expend significant resources to develop non-infringing technology;

● license technology from the third-party claiming infringement, which license may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all;

● enter into cross-licenses with Tempo’s or New Tempo’s competitors, which could weaken Tempo’s or New Tempo’s overall IP portfolio and Tempo’s or New Tempo’s ability to compete in particular product categories; or

● relinquish IP rights associated with one or more of Tempo’s or New Tempo’s patent claims.

Any of the foregoing results could have a material adverse effect on Tempo’s or New Tempo’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, New Tempo may be obligated to indemnify Tempo’s current or former directors or employees, or former directors or employees of companies that Tempo has acquired, in connection with litigation or regulatory investigations. These liabilities could be substantial and may include, among other things, the cost of defending lawsuits against these individuals, as well as stockholder derivative suits; the cost of government, law enforcement or regulatory investigations; civil or criminal fines and penalties; legal and other expenses; and expenses associated with the remedial measure, if any, which may be imposed.

New Tempo’s operations could suffer if New Tempo is unable to attract and retain key management or other key employees.

Tempo believes Tempo’s success has depended, and New Tempo’s success will continue to depend, on the efforts and talents of Tempo’s senior management and other key personnel. Tempo’s executive team is critical to the management of Tempo’s business and operations and will continue to be critical to the development of New Tempo’s strategy. Members of Tempo’s existing senior management team may resign at any time. The loss of the services of any members of Tempo’s senior management team could delay or prevent the successful implementation of New Tempo’s strategy or New Tempo’s commercialization of new services, or could otherwise adversely affect New Tempo’s ability to carry out New Tempo’s business plan. There is no assurance that if any senior executive leaves in the future, New Tempo will be able to rapidly replace him or her or them and transition smoothly towards his or her or their successor, without any adverse impact on New Tempo’s operations.

To support the continued growth of New Tempo’s business, New Tempo will also be required to effectively recruit, hire, integrate, develop, motivate, and retain additional new employees. High demand exists for senior management and other key personnel (including scientific, technical, engineering, financial, manufacturing, and sales personnel) in the prototype and on-demand electronics manufacturing industry, and there can be no assurance that New Tempo will be able to retain Tempo’s current key personnel. Tempo experiences, and New Tempo will experience, intense competition for qualified personnel. While New Tempo intends to provide competitive compensation packages to attract and retain key personnel, some of its competitors for these employees have greater resources and more experience, which may make it difficult for New Tempo to compete successfully for key personnel. Moreover, new employees may not become as productive as New Tempo expects since New Tempo may face challenges in adequately integrating them into Tempo’s workforce and culture. Since March 2020, Tempo has had many non-manufacturing employees working remotely to protect the health and safety of Tempo’s employees, contractors, customers, and visitors. Tempo also shifted customer, industry, and other stakeholder events to virtual-only experiences, and may similarly alter, postpone, or cancel other events in the future. Given Tempo’s limited history with remote operations, the long-term impacts are uncertain.

70

All of Tempo’s U.S. employees are, and all of New Tempo’s U.S. employees will be, at-will employees, meaning that they may terminate their employment relationship with Tempo or New Tempo at any time, and their knowledge of Tempo’s or New Tempo’s business and industry would be extremely difficult to replace. It may be difficult for New Tempo to restrict its competitors from benefiting from the expertise that New Tempo’s former employees or consultants developed while working for Tempo or New Tempo.

The effect of COVID-19 on Tempo’s operations and the operations of Tempo’s customers, suppliers and logistics providers has had, and may continue to have, an adverse impact on Tempo’s financial condition and results of operations.

Tempo’s operations expose Tempo, and are expected to expose New Tempo, to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has had, and with respect to New Tempo may continue to have, an adverse impact on employees, operations, supply chain and distribution system. While Tempo has taken numerous steps to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on its results of operations, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be successful. To date, COVID-19 has increased Tempo’s expenses, primarily related to additional labor costs and the procurement of personal protection equipment for Tempo’s employees, and has caused a reduction in factory utilization due to disruptions and restrictions. COVID-19 has now spread across the globe and is impacting worldwide economic activity, including Tempo’s manufacturing production sites. Public and private sector policies and initiatives to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, including travel restrictions and quarantines, are impacting Tempo’s operations, including affecting the ability of Tempo’s employees to get to Tempo’s facilities, reducing capacity utilization levels, causing certain facility or intermittent business closures, and interrupting the movement or increasing the cost of moving components and products through Tempo’s supply chain. If additional factory closures are required or reductions in capacity utilization levels occur, New Tempo will likely incur additional direct costs and lost revenue. If New Tempo’s suppliers experience additional closures or reductions in their capacity utilization levels in the future, New Tempo may have difficulty sourcing materials necessary to fulfill production requirements. COVID-19 has also impacted Tempo’s customers and may create unpredictable reductions or increases in demand for New Tempo’s manufacturing services. New Tempo’s ability to continue to offer manufacturing services is highly dependent on its ability to maintain the safety and health of its factory employees. The ability of New Tempo’s employees to work may be significantly impacted by individuals contracting or being exposed to COVID-19. While Tempo is, and New Tempo will be, following the requirements of governmental authorities and taking preventative and protective measures to prioritize the safety of its employees, these measures may not be successful, and Tempo or New Tempo may be required to temporarily close facilities or take other measures. In addition, responding to the continuing pandemic could divert management’s attention from New Tempo’s key strategic priorities, cause New Tempo to reduce, delay, alter or abandon initiatives that may otherwise increase New Tempo’s long-term value or otherwise disrupt New Tempo’s business operations. While Tempo is staying in close communication with its sites, employees, customers, suppliers, and logistics partners and acting to mitigate the impact of this dynamic and evolving situation, the duration and extent of the effect of COVID-19 on Tempo and New Tempo is not determinable. COVID-19 may continue to have an adverse impact on New Tempo’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in the near term. In addition, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic could exacerbate the other risks that New Tempo is expected to face.

Tempo purchases, and New Tempo will purchase, a significant amount of the materials and components it uses from a limited number of suppliers and if such suppliers become unavailable or inadequate, its customer relationships, results of operations, and financial condition may be adversely affected.

Tempo’s manufacturing processes rely, and New Tempo’s manufacturing processes will rely, on many materials. Tempo purchases, and New Tempo will purchase, a significant portion of its materials, components and finished goods used in its production facilities from a few suppliers, some of which are single source suppliers. As certain materials are highly specialized, the lead time needed to identify and qualify a new supplier is typically lengthy and there is often no readily available alternative source. During fiscal year 2021, Tempo purchased approximately half of the components and materials for Tempo’s manufacturing processes from three materials suppliers. Tempo does not generally have long-term contracts with Tempo’s suppliers and substantially all of Tempo’s purchases are on a purchase order basis. Suppliers may extend lead times, limit supplies, place products on allocation or increase prices due to commodity price increases, capacity constraints or other factors and could lead to interruption of supply or increased demand in the industry. For example, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Tempo has experienced some supply constraints, including with respect to semiconductor components. Additionally, the supply of these materials may be negatively impacted by increased trade tensions between the U.S. and its trading partners, particularly China. In the event that New Tempo cannot obtain sufficient quantities of materials in a timely manner, at reasonable prices or of sufficient quality, or if New Tempo is not able to pass on higher materials costs to its customers, New Tempo’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted.

71

New Tempo’s facilities, and its suppliers’ facilities and customers’ facilities, will be vulnerable to disruption due to natural or other disasters, public health crises, strikes and other events beyond New Tempo’s control.

A major earthquake, fire, tsunami, hurricane, cyclone or other disaster, such as a pandemic, major flood, seasonal storms, nuclear event or terrorist attack affecting New Tempo’s facilities or the areas in which they are located, or affecting those of New Tempo’s customers or third-party manufacturers or suppliers, could significantly disrupt New Tempo’s or its customers’ or suppliers’ operations and delay or prevent product shipment or installation during the time required to repair, rebuild or replace New Tempo’s damaged manufacturing facilities. These delays could be lengthy and costly. Additionally, customers may delay purchases until operations return to normal. Even if New Tempo is able to respond quickly to a disaster, the continued effects of the disaster could create uncertainty in New Tempo’s business operations. In addition, concerns about terrorism, the effects of a terrorist attack, political turmoil, labor strikes, war or the outbreak of epidemic diseases (including the outbreak of COVID-19) could have a negative effect on New Tempo’s operations and sales.

If New Tempo fails to grow its business as anticipated, its operating results will be adversely affected. If New Tempo grows as anticipated but fails to manage its operations and costs accordingly, its business may be harmed and its results of operations may suffer.

New Tempo is expected to grow its business substantially. To this end, Tempo has made, and New Tempo expects to continue to make, significant investments in its business, including investments in infrastructure, technology, marketing and sales efforts. These investments include dedicated facilities expansion and increased staffing, both domestic and international. If New Tempo’s business does not generate the level of revenue required to support its investment, New Tempo’s net sales and profitability will be adversely affected.

New Tempo’s ability to effectively manage its anticipated growth and expansion of its operations will also require New Tempo to enhance its operational, financial and management controls and infrastructure, as well as its human resources policies and reporting systems. These enhancements and improvements will require significant capital expenditures, investments in additional headcount and other operating expenditures and allocation of valuable management and employee resources. New Tempo’s future financial performance and its ability to execute on its business plan will depend, in part, on New Tempo’s ability to effectively manage any future growth and expansion. There are no guarantees that New Tempo will be able to do so in an efficient or timely manner, or at all.

As New Tempo acquires and invests in companies or technologies, it may not realize expected business, expected cost synergies, technological, or financial benefits. Such acquisitions or investments could prove difficult to integrate, disrupt its business, dilute stockholder value and adversely affect New Tempo’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Acquisitions involve numerous risks, any of which could harm New Tempo’s business and negatively affect its financial condition and results of operations. The success of any acquisition will depend in part on New Tempo’s ability to realize the anticipated business opportunities from combining the operations of acquired companies with Tempo’s existing business in an efficient and effective manner. These integration processes could take longer than anticipated and could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of each company’s ongoing businesses, tax costs or inefficiencies, or inconsistencies in standards, controls, information technology systems, procedures and policies, any of which could adversely affect New Tempo’s ability to maintain relationships with customers, employees or other third parties, or New Tempo’s ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of any such acquisition, and could harm New Tempo’s financial performance. If New Tempo is unable to successfully or timely integrate the operations of an acquired business with Tempo’s existing business, New Tempo may incur unanticipated liabilities and be unable to realize the revenue growth, synergies and other anticipated benefits resulting from such acquisitions, and New Tempo’s business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

New Tempo may require additional capital to support business growth, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

New Tempo intends to continue to make investments to support its business growth and may require additional funds to respond to business challenges and opportunities, including the need to develop new features or enhance its services, improve its operating infrastructure or acquire complementary businesses and technologies. Accordingly, New Tempo may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds if existing sources of cash and any funds generated from operations do not provide New Tempo with sufficient capital. If New Tempo raises additional funds through future issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, its stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities New Tempo issues could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of New Tempo common stock. Any debt financing that New Tempo may secure in the future

72

could involve restrictive covenants relating to New Tempo’s capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for New Tempo to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. New Tempo may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to New Tempo, if at all. If New Tempo is unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to it when New Tempo requires it, New Tempo’s ability to continue to support its business growth and to respond to business challenges and opportunities could be significantly impaired, and its business may be adversely affected.

New Tempo could be subject to warranty and other claims involving allegedly defective or counterfeit products that Tempo or New Tempo supplies.

The products Tempo supplies are, and the products New Tempo supplies will be, sometimes used in potentially hazardous or critical applications, such as the assembled parts of an aircraft, medical device or automobile, that could result in death, personal injury, property damage, loss of production, punitive damages and consequential damages. While Tempo has not experienced any such claims to date, actual or claimed defects in the products Tempo or New Tempo supplies could result in Tempo or New Tempo being named as a defendant in lawsuits asserting potentially large claims.

Tempo attempts to include legal provisions in Tempo’s agreements with customers that are designed to limit Tempo’s exposure to potential liability for damages arising from defects or errors, or the inclusion of parts from third-party suppliers that, subsequent to procurement, are discovered to be counterfeit in Tempo’s products. However, it is possible that these limitations may not be effective as a result of unfavorable judicial decisions or laws enacted in the future. Any such lawsuit, regardless of merit, could result in material expense, diversion of management time and efforts and damage to New Tempo’s reputation, and could cause New Tempo to fail to retain or attract customers, which could adversely affect New Tempo’s results of operations.

Compliance or the failure to comply with current and future environmental, health and safety, product stewardship and producer responsibility laws or regulations could cause New Tempo significant expense.

New Tempo will be subject to a variety of federal, state, local and foreign environmental, health and safety, product stewardship and producer responsibility laws and regulations, including those arising from global pandemics or relating to the use, generation, storage, discharge and disposal of hazardous chemicals used during its manufacturing process, those governing worker health and safety, those requiring design changes, supply chain investigation or conformity assessments and those relating to the recycling or reuse of products it manufactures. If New Tempo fails to comply with any present or future regulations or obtain in a timely manner any needed permits, New Tempo could become subject to liabilities, and could face fines or penalties, the suspension of production, or prohibitions on services it provides. In addition, such regulations could restrict New Tempo’s ability to expand its facilities or could require it to acquire costly equipment, or to incur other significant expenses, including expenses associated with the recall of any non-compliant product or with changes in New Tempo’s operational, procurement and inventory management activities.

Certain environmental laws impose liability for the costs of investigation, removal and remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on an owner, occupier or operator of real estate, or on parties who arranged for hazardous substance treatment or disposal, even if such person or company was unaware of, or not responsible for, contamination at the affected site. Soil and groundwater contamination may have occurred at or near, or may have arisen from, some of Tempo’s facilities. From time to time Tempo investigates, remediates and monitors, and New Tempo will investigate, remediate and monitor, soil and groundwater contamination at certain of its operating sites. In certain instances where contamination existed prior to Tempo’s ownership or occupation of a site, landlords or former owners have retained some contractual responsibility for contamination and remediation. However, failure of such persons to perform those obligations could result in New Tempo being required to address such contamination. As a result, New Tempo may incur clean-up costs in such potential removal or remediation efforts. In other instances, New Tempo may be responsible for clean-up costs and other liabilities, including the possibility of claims due to health risks by both employees and non-employees, as well as other third-party claims in connection with contaminated sites.

In addition, there is an increasing governmental focus around the world on global warming and environmental impact issues, which may result in new environmental, health and safety regulations that may affect New Tempo, its suppliers, and/or its customers. This could cause New Tempo to incur additional direct costs for compliance, as well as increased indirect costs resulting from its customers, suppliers or both incurring additional compliance costs that get passed on to New Tempo. These costs may adversely impact New Tempo’s operations and financial condition.

73

An inability to successfully manage the procurement, development, implementation or execution of IT systems, or to adequately maintain these systems and their security, as well as to protect data and other confidential information, may adversely affect New Tempo’s business and reputation.

As a complex company, Tempo is, and New Tempo will be, heavily dependent on its IT systems to support its customers’ requirements and to successfully manage its business. Any inability to successfully manage the procurement, development, implementation, execution, or maintenance of such systems, including matters related to system and data security, cybersecurity, privacy, reliability, compliance, performance and access, as well as any inability of these systems to fulfill their intended purpose, could have an adverse effect on New Tempo’s business. See “If New Tempo experiences a significant cybersecurity breach or disruption in its information systems, New Tempo’s business could be adversely affected.” below.

Tempo is, and New Tempo will be, subject to increasing expectations and data security requirements from its customers, including those related to the U.S. Federal Acquisition Regulation, U.S. Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement, and U.S. Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification. In addition, New Tempo will be required to comply with increasingly complex and rigorous regulatory standards enacted to protect business and personal data in various jurisdictions. For example, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation, and similar legislation in other jurisdictions in which New Tempo will operate, imposes additional obligations on companies regarding the handling of personal data and provide certain individual privacy rights to persons whose data is stored. Compliance with customer expectations and existing, proposed and recently enacted laws and regulations can be costly; any failure to comply with these expectations and regulatory standards could subject New Tempo to legal and reputational risks. Misuse of or failure to secure personal information could also result in violation of data privacy laws and regulations, proceedings against New Tempo by governmental entities or others, fines and penalties, damage to New Tempo’s reputation and credibility and could have a negative impact on New Tempo’s business and results of operations.

If New Tempo experiences a cybersecurity breach or disruption in its information systems, New Tempo’s business could be adversely affected.

Malicious actors may be able to penetrate New Tempo’s network and misappropriate or compromise New Tempo’s confidential information or that of third parties, create system disruptions or cause shutdowns. Malicious actors also may be able to develop and deploy viruses, worms and other malicious software programs that attack New Tempo’s platform or otherwise exploit any security vulnerabilities of New Tempo’s platform. While New Tempo will employ a number of protective measures, including firewalls, network infrastructure vulnerability scanning, anti-virus and endpoint detection and response technologies, these measures may fail to prevent or detect attacks on New Tempo’s systems due at least in part to the frequent evolving nature of cybersecurity attacks. Although these measures are designed to maintain the confidentiality, integrity and availability of New Tempo’s information and technology systems, there is no assurance that these measures will detect all threats or prevent a cybersecurity attack in the future, which could adversely affect New Tempo’s business, reputation, operations or services.

In addition, the costs to New Tempo to eliminate or mitigate cyber or other security problems, bugs, viruses, worms, malicious software programs and security vulnerabilities could be significant and, if New Tempo’s efforts to address these problems are not successful, could result in interruptions, delays, cessation of service and loss of existing or potential customers that may impede New Tempo’s sales, manufacturing, distribution or other critical functions.

Tempo relies, and New Tempo will rely, on its information technology systems to manage numerous aspects of its business and a disruption of these systems could adversely affect its business.

Tempo relies, and New Tempo will rely, on its information technology systems to manage numerous aspects of its business, including purchasing products from its suppliers, providing procurement and logistic services, shipping products to its customers, managing its accounting and financial functions (including its internal controls) and maintaining its research and development data. Tempo’s information technology systems are, and New Tempo’s information technology systems will be, an essential component of its business and any disruption could significantly limit its ability to manage and operate its business efficiently. A failure of New Tempo’s information technology systems to perform properly could disrupt New Tempo’s supply chain, product development and customer experience, which may lead to increased overhead costs and decreased sales and have an adverse effect on New Tempo’s reputation and its financial condition. The hardware and software that Tempo utilizes in Tempo’s services may contain defects in design or manufacture, including “bugs” and other problems that could unexpectedly interfere with the operation or security of the services.

74

In addition, during the COVID-19 pandemic, a substantial portion of Tempo’s employees have conducted work remotely, making Tempo more dependent on potentially vulnerable communications systems and making Tempo more vulnerable to cyberattacks. Although Tempo takes, and New Tempo will take, steps and incurs significant costs to secure its information technology systems, including its computer systems, intranet and internet sites, email and other telecommunications and data networks, such security measures may not be effective and its systems may be vulnerable to damage or interruption. Disruption to New Tempo’s information technology systems could result from power outages, computer and telecommunications failures, computer viruses, cyber-attack or other security breaches, catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, acts of war and terrorism.

Tempo’s current levels of insurance may not be adequate for Tempo’s potential liabilities.

Tempo maintains, and New Tempo will maintain, insurance to cover potential exposure for most claims and losses, including potential product and non-product related claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings seeking damages or other remedies arising out of its commercial operations. However, Tempo’s current insurance coverage is subject to various exclusions, self-retentions and deductibles. New Tempo may be faced with types of liabilities that are not covered under Tempo’s current insurance policies, such as environmental contamination or terrorist attacks, or that exceed Tempo’s current or future policy limits. Even a partially uninsured claim of significant size, if successful, could have an adverse effect on New Tempo’s financial condition.

In addition, New Tempo may not be able to continue to obtain insurance coverage on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, Tempo’s existing policies may be cancelled or otherwise terminated by the insurer, and/or the companies that New Tempo acquires may not be eligible for certain types or limits of insurance. Maintaining adequate insurance and successfully accessing insurance coverage that may be due for a claim can require a significant amount of New Tempo’s management’s time, and New Tempo may be forced to spend a substantial amount of money in that process.

Because Tempo’s industry is, and New Tempo’s industry is expected to continue to be, rapidly evolving, forecasts of market growth may not be accurate, and even if these markets achieve the forecasted growth, there can be no assurance that Tempo’s business will grow at similar rates, or at all.

Market opportunity estimates and growth forecasts included in this proxy statement/prospectus are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates that may not prove to be accurate. The forecasts and estimates in this proxy statement/prospectus relating to the expected size and growth of the markets for prototype and on-demand electronics manufacturing technology may prove to be inaccurate. Even if these markets experience the forecasted growth described in this proxy statement/ prospectus, New Tempo may not grow its business at similar rates, or at all. New Tempo’s future growth is subject to many factors, including market adoption of New Tempo’s services, which is subject to many risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, the forecasts and estimates of market size and growth described in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the estimate that New Tempo’s total addressable market size is approximately $290 billion based on IPC’s 2012-2013, 2018 and 2019 Annual Reports and Forecasts for the North American EMS Industry, should not be taken as indicative of New Tempo’s future growth. In addition, these forecasts do not consider the impact of the current global COVID-19 pandemic, and New Tempo cannot assure you that these forecasts will not be materially and adversely affected as a result.

Global economic, political and social conditions and uncertainties in the markets that New Tempo will serve may adversely impact New Tempo’s business.

New Tempo’s performance will depend on the financial health and strength of its customers, which in turn will be dependent on the economic conditions of the markets in which New Tempo and its customers operate. A decline in the global economy, difficulties in the financial services sector and credit markets, continuing geopolitical uncertainties and other macroeconomic factors all affect the spending behavior of potential customers. The economic uncertainty in Europe, the United States, India, China and elsewhere arising out of the COVID-19 pandemic and increased monetary inflation may cause end-users to further delay or reduce technology purchases.

New Tempo may also face risks from financial difficulties or other uncertainties experienced by its suppliers, distributors or other third parties on which it relies. If third parties are unable to supply New with required materials or components or otherwise assist New Tempo in operating its business, New Tempo’s business could be harmed.

75

Tempo’s industry routinely experiences, and New Tempo’s industry is expected to experience, cyclical market patterns and Tempo’s services are, and New Tempo’s services are expected to be, used across different end markets. A significant downturn in the industry or in any of these end markets could cause a meaningful reduction in demand for New Tempo’s services and harm its operating results.

The prototype and on-demand electronics manufacturing industry is cyclical and Tempo’s financial performance has been affected by downturns in the industry. Down cycles are generally characterized by price erosion and weaker demand for Tempo’s services. Tempo attempts to identify changes in market conditions as soon as possible; however, the dynamics of the market in which Tempo operates make prediction of and timely reaction to such events difficult. Due to these and other factors, Tempo’s past results are not reliable predictors of New Tempo’s future results. Furthermore, any significant upturn in the prototype and on-demand electronics manufacturing industry could result in increased competition for access to raw materials and third-party service providers.

Additionally, Tempo’s services are, and New Tempo’s services are expected to be, used across different end markets, and demand for Tempo’s products, and demand for New Tempo’s products is expected to be, is difficult to predict and may vary within or among the various industries it serves. New Tempo’s target markets may not grow or develop as it currently expects, and demand may change in one or more of New Tempo’s end markets, which may reduce New Tempo’s revenue, lower New Tempo’s gross margin and/or affect New Tempo’s operating results. Tempo has experienced concentrations of revenue at certain customers and within certain end markets. Any deterioration in these end markets, reductions in the magnitude of revenue streams, New Tempo’s inability to meet requirements, or volatility in demand for New Tempo’s services could lead to a reduction in New Tempo’s revenue and adversely affect New Tempo’s operating results. New Tempo’s success in its end markets depends on many factors, including the strength or financial performance of the customers in such end markets, New Tempo’s ability to timely meet rapidly changing requirements, market needs, and its ability to maintain program wins across different markets and customers to dampen the effects of market volatility. The dynamics of the markets in which Tempo operates and New Tempo will operate make prediction of and timely reaction to such events difficult.

If New Tempo is unable to accomplish any of the foregoing, or to offset the volatility of cyclical changes in the semiconductor industry or its end markets through diversification into other markets, such inability could harm its business, financial condition, and operating results.

The industry experienced a significant downturn during the most recent global recession. Downturns have been characterized by diminished demand, production overcapacity, and accelerated erosion of average selling prices. Any prolonged or significant downturn in the prototype and on-demand electronics manufacturing industry could harm New Tempo’s business and reduce demand for New Tempo’s services. Any future downturns in the prototype and on-demand electronics manufacturing industry could also harm New Tempo’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. Furthermore, any significant upturn in the prototype and on-demand electronics manufacturing industry could result in increased competition for access to raw material and third-party service provider capacity. Tempo is, and New Tempo is expected to be, dependent on the availability of this capacity to offer its services and neither Tempo nor New Tempo can provide assurances that adequate capacity will be available to it in the future.

Tempo conducts, and New Tempo will conduct, a portion of its business pursuant to U.S. government contracts, which are subject to unique risks.

Contracts with the U.S. government are subject to extensive regulations, and new regulations, or changes to existing regulations, could increase New Tempo’s compliance costs, including in the form of withheld payments and/or reduced future business if New Tempo fails to comply with these requirements in the future, or otherwise have a material impact on New Tempo’s business, which could negatively impact New Tempo’s financial condition and operating results.

Contracts with the U.S. government are also subject to a variety of other requirements and risks including government reviews, audits, investigations, False Claims Act cases, suspensions and debarments as well as other legal actions and proceedings that generally do not apply to purely commercial contracts. In addition, transactions involving government contractors may be subject to government review and approvals and may require the contractor to hold certain national security clearances in order to perform them.

The U.S. government may modify, curtail or terminate one or more contracts with Tempo or Tempo’s customers.

The U.S. government contracting party may modify, curtail or terminate its contracts with Tempo or Tempo’s customers, without prior notice and either at its convenience or for default based on performance. In addition, funding pursuant to Tempo’s U.S. government contracts may be reduced or withheld as part of the U.S. Congressional appropriations process due to fiscal constraints,

76

changes in U.S. national security strategy and/or priorities or other reasons. The U.S. government, at its discretion, may also revoke, suspend, or terminate national security clearances necessary to perform certain contracts.

Any loss or anticipated loss or reduction of expected funding and/or modification, curtailment, or termination of one or more of our U.S. government contracts could have a material adverse effect on New Tempo’s earnings, cash flow and/or financial position.

Third-party lawsuits and assertions to which New Tempo may become subject alleging its infringement of third party intellectual property rights may have a significant adverse effect on Tempo’s business and financial condition.

Third parties may own issued patents and pending patent applications that exist in fields relevant to New Tempo’s business, including those relevant to prototype and on-demand electronics manufacturing. Some of these third parties may assert that Tempo is employing their proprietary technology without authorization. Because patent applications can take many years to issue, there may be currently pending patent applications, which may later result in issued patents that New Tempo’s technologies may infringe. In addition, third parties may obtain patents in the future and claim that New Tempo’s technologies infringe upon these patents. Any third-party lawsuits or other assertion to which New Tempo is subject alleging New Tempo’s infringement of patents, trade secrets or other intellectual property rights may have a significant adverse effect on New Tempo’s business and financial condition.

Many of Tempo’s customer agreements and/or the laws of certain jurisdictions may require Tempo to indemnify Tempo’s customers or purchasers for third-party IP infringement claims, including costs to defend those claims, and payment of damages in the case of adverse rulings. However, Tempo’s suppliers may or may not be required to indemnify Tempo should Tempo or Tempo’s customers be subject to such third-party claims. Claims of this sort could also harm Tempo’s relationships with Tempo’s customers and might deter future customers from doing business with us. If any pending or future proceedings result in an adverse outcome, New Tempo could be required to:

● cease the sale of the infringing services, processes or technology and/or make changes to New Tempo’s services, processes or technology;

● pay substantial damages for past, present and future use of the infringing technology, including up to treble damages if willful infringement is found;

● pay fines or disgorge profits or other payments, and/or cease certain conduct and/or modify New Tempo’s contracting or business practices, in connection with any unfavorable resolution of a governmental investigation;

● expend significant resources to develop non-infringing technology;

● license technology from the third-party claiming infringement, which license may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all;

● enter into cross-licenses with New Tempo’s competitors, which could weaken New Tempo’s overall IP portfolio and New Tempo’s ability to compete in particular product categories;

● pay substantial damages to New Tempo’s direct or end customers to discontinue use or replace infringing technology with non-infringing technology; or

● relinquish IP rights associated with one or more of New Tempo’s patent claims.

Any of the foregoing results could have a material adverse effect on New Tempo’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

If New Tempo is unable to adequately protect or enforce its intellectual property rights, such information may be used by others to compete against us.

Tempo has devoted substantial resources to the development of its technology and related intellectual property rights. New Tempo’s success and future revenue growth will depend, in part, on its ability to protect its intellectual property. Tempo relies, and New Tempo will rely, on a combination of registered and unregistered intellectual property. Tempo protects, and New Tempo will

77

protect, its proprietary rights using patents, licenses, trademarks, trade secrets, confidentiality and assignment of invention agreements and other methods.

Despite New Tempo’s efforts to protect its proprietary rights, it is possible that competitors or other unauthorized third parties may obtain, copy, use or disclose New Tempo’s technologies, inventions, processes or improvements. New Tempo cannot assure you that any of Tempo’s existing or New Tempo’s future patents or other intellectual property rights will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or will otherwise provide New Tempo with meaningful protection. New Tempo’s pending patent applications may not be granted, and New Tempo may not be able to obtain foreign patents or pending applications corresponding to Tempo’s U.S. patents. Even if foreign patents are granted, effective enforcement in foreign countries may not be available.

Tempo’s trade secrets, know-how and other unregistered proprietary rights are, and New Tempo’s trade secrets, know-how and other unregistered proprietary rights will be, a key aspect of its intellectual property portfolio. While Tempo takes, and New Tempo will take, reasonable steps to protect its trade secrets and confidential information and enter into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements intended to protect such rights, such agreements can be difficult and costly to enforce or may not provide adequate remedies if violated, and Tempo may not have entered into such agreements with all relevant parties. Such agreements may be breached, and trade secrets or confidential information may be willfully or unintentionally disclosed, including by employees who may leave Tempo or New Tempo and join one of its competitors, or Tempo’s or New Tempo’s competitors or other parties may learn of the information in some other way. The disclosure to, or independent development by, a competitor of any of New Tempo’s trade secrets, know-how or other technology not protected by a patent or other intellectual property system could materially reduce or eliminate any competitive advantage that New Tempo may have over such competitor.

If New Tempo’s patents and other intellectual property do not adequately protect New Tempo’s technology, New Tempo’s competitors may be able to offer services similar to those offered by New Tempo. New Tempo’s competitors may also be able to develop similar technology independently or design around New Tempo’s patents and other intellectual property. Any of the foregoing events would lead to increased competition and reduce New Tempo’s revenue or gross margin, which would adversely affect New Tempo’s operating results.

If New Tempo attempts enforcement of its intellectual property rights, New Tempo may be subject or party to claims, negotiations or complex, protracted litigation. Intellectual property disputes and litigation, regardless of merit, can be costly and disruptive to New Tempo’s business operations by diverting attention and energies of management and key technical personnel and by increasing New Tempo’s costs of doing business. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect New Tempo’s business and financial condition.

As part of any settlement or other compromise to avoid complex, protracted litigation, New Tempo may agree not to pursue future claims against a third party, including related to alleged infringement of New Tempo’s intellectual property rights. Part of any settlement or other compromise with another party may resolve a potentially costly dispute but may also have future repercussions on New Tempo’s ability to defend and protect its intellectual property rights, which in turn could adversely affect New Tempo’s business.

Tempo’s internal controls over financial reporting currently do not meet all of the standards contemplated by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), and failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could impair New Tempo’s ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations and have a material adverse effect on New Tempo’s business.

Tempo has been operating as a private company. Following the Business Combination, New Tempo’s management will have significant requirements for enhanced financial reporting and internal controls as a public company. The process of designing and implementing effective internal controls is a continuous effort that will require New Tempo to anticipate and react to changes in New Tempo’s business and the economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of internal controls that is adequate to satisfy New Tempo’s reporting obligations as a public company. If New Tempo is unable to establish or maintain appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, it could cause New Tempo to fail to meet New Tempo’s reporting obligations on a timely basis or result in material misstatements in New Tempo’s consolidated financial statements, which could harm New Tempo’s operating results. In addition, New Tempo will be required, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of New Tempo’s internal control over financial reporting. This assessment will need to include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by New Tempo’s management in New Tempo’s internal control over financial reporting. The rules governing the standards that must be met for New Tempo’s

78

management to assess New Tempo’s internal control over financial reporting are complex and require significant documentation, testing, and possible remediation. Testing and maintaining internal controls may divert management’s attention from other matters that are important to New Tempo’s business. New Tempo’s independent registered public accounting firm will be required to attest to the effectiveness of New Tempo’s internal control over financial reporting on an annual basis. However, while New Tempo remains an emerging growth company, New Tempo will not be required to include an attestation report on internal control over financial reporting issued by New Tempo’s independent registered public accounting firm. If New Tempo is not able to complete New Tempo’s initial assessment of New Tempo’s internal controls and otherwise implement the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, New Tempo’s independent registered public accounting firm may not be able to certify as to the adequacy of New Tempo’s internal controls over financial reporting.

In addition to New Tempo’s results determined in accordance with GAAP, New Tempo believes certain non-GAAP measures may be useful in evaluating New Tempo’s operating performance. New Tempo presents certain non-GAAP financial measures in this proxy statement/prospectus and intends to continue to present certain non-GAAP financial measures in future filings with the SEC and other public statements. Any failure to accurately report and present New Tempo’s non-GAAP financial measures could cause investors to lose confidence in New Tempo’s reported financial and other information, which would likely have a negative effect on the trading price of New Tempo’s common stock.

Matters impacting New Tempo’s internal controls may cause New Tempo to be unable to report New Tempo’s financial information on a timely basis and thereby subject New Tempo to adverse regulatory consequences, including sanctions by the SEC or violations of applicable stock exchange listing rules, which may result in a breach of the covenants under existing or future financing arrangements. There also could be a negative reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of investor confidence in New Tempo and the reliability of New Tempo’s financial statements. Confidence in the reliability of New Tempo’s financial statements also could suffer if New Tempo or New Tempo’s independent registered public accounting firm continue to report a material weakness in New Tempo’s internal controls over financial reporting. This could materially adversely affect New Tempo and lead to a decline in the market price of New Tempo’s common stock.

Tempo has identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting and may continue to identify additional material weaknesses in the future. If the combined company fails to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, it may not be able to accurately report its financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in the post-combination Company.

In connection with Tempo’s financial statement close process, Tempo identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of its financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. These deficiencies could result in additional material misstatements to its financial statements that could not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. More specifically, the Company has identified the following material weaknesses in its internal control:

a) insufficient and untimely review of significant accounting transactions and reconciliations, specifically due to insufficient resources within the accounting function who possess an appropriate level of expertise to timely identify, select, and apply GAAP to revenue recognition and to significant financing transactions, which resulted in a failure to detect accounting errors in these areas, including the immaterial error corrections described in Note 2 to the financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

b) the absence of appropriately designed information technology general controls, specifically, insufficient segregation of duties.

Tempo’s management is in the process of developing a remediation plan which shall include, without limitation, the hiring of additional accounting and finance personnel with technical public company accounting and financial reporting experience and implementing proper segregation of duties for information technology general controls. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until management designs and implements effective controls that operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are effective. The post-combination Company’s management will monitor the effectiveness of the post-combination Company’s remediation plans and will make changes management determines to be appropriate.

If not remediated, these material weaknesses could result in material misstatements to the post-combination Company’s annual or interim financial statements that might not be prevented or detected on a timely basis, or in delayed filing of required periodic reports. If the post-combination Company is unable to assert that its internal control over financial reporting is effective, or when required in

79

the future, if the post-combination Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an unqualified opinion as to the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of the post-combination Company’s financial reports, the market price of the common stock could be adversely affected and the post-combination Company could become subject to litigation or investigations by Nasdaq, the SEC, or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources.

Fluctuations in the cost and availability of raw materials, equipment, labor, and transportation could cause manufacturing delays or increase New Tempo’s costs.

The price and availability of key raw materials and components used to offer New Tempo’s services may fluctuate significantly. Additionally, the cost of logistics and transportation fluctuates in large part due to the price of oil, currency fluctuations, and global demand trends. Any fluctuations in the cost and availability of any of New Tempo’s raw materials or other sourcing or transportation costs related to New Tempo’s raw materials or services could harm New Tempo’s gross margins and its ability to meet customer demand. If New Tempo is unable to successfully mitigate a significant portion of these service cost increases or fluctuations, New Tempo’s results of operations could be harmed.

Certain software Tempo uses, and New Tempo will use, is from open source code sources, which, under certain circumstances could materially adversely affect New Tempo’s business, financial condition, and operating results.

Some of the software used to execute Tempo’s services contains code from open source sources, the use of which may subject Tempo to certain conditions, including the obligation to offer such services for no cost or to make the proprietary source code involved in delivering those services publicly available. Further, although some open source vendors provide warranty and support agreements, it is common for such software to be available “as-is” with no warranty, indemnity or support. Although Tempo monitors, and New Tempo will monitor, its use of such open source code to avoid subjecting its services to unintended conditions, such use, under certain circumstances, could materially adversely affect New Tempo’s business, financial condition and operating results and cash flow, including if New Tempo is required to take remedial action that may divert resources away from New Tempo’s development efforts.

Tempo is an early-stage company with a history of losses. Tempo has not been profitable historically and New Tempo may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future.

Tempo experienced net losses in each year from Tempo’s inception, including net losses of $48,013,000 and $19,104,000 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Tempo believes that it will continue to incur operating losses and negative cash flow as it continues to invest significantly in Tempo’s business, in particular across Tempo’s research and development efforts and sales and marketing programs. These investments may not result in increased revenue or growth in Tempo’s business.

As a newly-public company, New Tempo will incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that Tempo did not incur as a private company. If New Tempo acquires and integrates other companies, New Tempo will also incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses. These increased expenditures may make it harder for New Tempo to achieve and maintain future profitability. Revenue growth and growth in New Tempo’s customer base may not be sustainable, and New Tempo may not achieve sufficient revenue to achieve or maintain profitability. New Tempo may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including due to the other risks described in this proxy statement/prospectus, and New Tempo may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays and other unknown events. As a result, New Tempo’s losses may be larger than anticipated, New Tempo may incur significant losses for the foreseeable future, and New Tempo may not achieve profitability when expected, or at all, and even if New Tempo does, New Tempo may not be able to maintain or increase profitability.

Furthermore, if New Tempo’s future growth and operating performance fail to meet investor or analyst expectations, or if New Tempo has future negative cash flow or losses resulting from New Tempo’s investment in acquiring customers or expanding Tempo’s existing operations, this could have a material adverse effect on New Tempo’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Tempo’s limited operating history makes evaluating Tempo’s current business and New Tempo’s future prospects difficult and may increase the risk of your investment.

Tempo’s limited operating history may make it difficult for you to evaluate Tempo’s current business and New Tempo’s future prospects as Tempo continues to grow its business. Tempo’s ability to forecast New Tempo’s future operating results is subject to a number of uncertainties, including Tempo’s ability to plan for and model future growth. Tempo has encountered risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly evolving industries, and New Tempo will encounter such risks

80

and uncertainties as it continues to grow Tempo’s business. If New Tempo’s assumptions regarding these uncertainties are incorrect or change in reaction to changes in its markets, or if New Tempo does not address these risks successfully, New Tempo’s operating and financial results could differ materially from New Tempo’s expectations, New Tempo’s business could suffer, and the trading price of New Tempo’s stock may decline.

Tempo is dependent on a limited number of customers and end markets. A decline in revenue from, or the loss of, any significant customer, could have a material adverse effect on Tempo’s financial condition and operating results.

Tempo depends upon a small number of customers for a substantial portion of Tempo’s revenue. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, two customers accounted for 41% and 21% of our total revenue, respectively. During the year ended December 31,2021, one customer accounted for 46% of our total revenue. During the year ended December 31, 2020, one customer accounted for 42% of Tempo’s total revenue. No other customers accounted for more than 10% of Tempo’s total revenue. A decline in revenue from, or the loss of, any significant customer could have a material adverse effect on Tempo’s financial condition and operating results. See the section titled “Tempo’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk — Concentrations of Credit Risk and Major Customers”. Tempo cannot assure: (i) that orders that may be completed, delayed, cancelled or reduced will be replaced with new business; (ii) that Tempo’s current customers will continue to utilize Tempo’s services consistent with historical volumes or at all; and/or (iii) that Tempo’s customers will renew their long-term manufacturing or services contracts with Tempo on acceptable terms or at all.

There can also be no assurance that Tempo’s efforts to secure new customers and programs in Tempo’s traditional or new markets, including through acquisitions, will succeed in reducing Tempo’s customer concentration. Acquisitions are also subject to integration risk, and revenues and margins could be lower than Tempo anticipates. Failure to secure business from existing or new customers in any of Tempo’s end markets would adversely impact Tempo’s operating results.

Any of the foregoing may adversely affect Tempo’s margins, cash flow, and Tempo’s ability to grow Tempo’s revenue, and may increase the variability of Tempo’s operating results from period to period. See “New Tempo’s operating results and financial condition may fluctuate from period to period and may fall below expectations in any particular period, which could adversely affect the market price of New Tempo’s common stock.”Tempo’s failure to meet Tempo’s customers’ price expectations may adversely affect Tempo’s business and results of operations.

Demand for Tempo’s service lines is sensitive to price. Tempo believes its competitive pricing has been an important factor in Tempo’s results to date. Therefore, changes in Tempo’s pricing strategies can have a significant impact on Tempo’s business and ability to generate revenue. Many factors, including Tempo’s production and personnel costs and Tempo’s competitors’ pricing and marketing strategies, can significantly impact Tempo’s pricing strategies. If Tempo fails to meet its customers’ price expectations in any given period, demand for Tempo’s services and service lines could be negatively impacted and Tempo’s business and results of operations could suffer.

Risks Related to the Business Combination and ACE

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this subsection to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to ACE prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

The Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how ACE’s public shareholders vote.

Unlike some other blank check companies in which the initial shareholders agree to vote their shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the public shareholders in connection with an initial business combination, the Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Sponsor Support Agreement. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, and due to (i) the redemption of 14,797,723 public shares in January 2022 and (ii) the redemption of 4,256,979 public shares in connection with the shareholder vote in July 2022, in each case in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the extension of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination, the Sponsor (including ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees) owns 59.31% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares.

81

Neither the ACE board of directors nor any committee thereof obtained a third party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the Business Combination.

Neither the ACE board of directors nor any committee thereof is required to obtain an opinion that the price that we are paying for Tempo is fair to us from a financial point of view. Neither the ACE board of directors nor any committee thereof obtained a third party valuation in connection with the Business Combination. In analyzing the Business Combination, the ACE board of directors and management conducted due diligence on Tempo. The ACE board of directors reviewed comparisons of selected financial data of Tempo with its peers in the industry and the financial terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, and concluded that the Business Combination was in the best interest of ACE’s shareholders.

Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of the ACE board of directors and management in valuing Tempo, and the ACE board of directors and management may not have properly valued such businesses. The lack of a third party valuation may also lead an increased number of shareholders to vote against the Business Combination or demand redemption of their shares, which could potentially impact our ability to consummate the Business Combination.

We may be forced to close the Business Combination even if we determined it is no longer in our shareholders’ best interest.

Our public shareholders are protected from a material adverse event of Tempo arising between the date of the Merger Agreement and the Closing primarily by the right to redeem their public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Accordingly, if a material adverse event were to occur after approval of the Condition Precedent Proposals at the extraordinary general meeting, we may be forced to close the Business Combination even if we determine it is no longer in our shareholders’ best interest to do so (as a result of such material adverse event) which could have a significant negative impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Additionally, if we do not obtain shareholder approval at the extraordinary general meeting, Tempo can continually obligate us to hold additional extraordinary general meetings to vote on the Condition Precedent Proposals until the earlier of such shareholder approval being obtained and the Agreement End Date. This could limit our ability to seek an alternative business combination that our shareholders may prefer after such initial vote.

Since the Sponsor and ACE’s directors and executive officers have interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of our shareholders, a conflict of interest may have existed in determining whether the Business Combination with Tempo is appropriate as our initial business combination. Such interests include that Sponsor will lose its entire investment in us if our business combination is not completed.

When you consider the recommendation of ACE’s board of directors in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor and ACE’s directors and officers have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to, those of ACE shareholders and warrant holders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

● If ACE does not consummate a business combination by October 13, 2022 (or if such date is extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), it would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming all of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating, subject in each case to its obligations under the Cayman Islands Companies Act to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the 5,595,000 ACE Class B ordinary shares owned by the Sponsor and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees, and the 155,000 ACE Class B ordinary shares directly owned by ACE’s independent directors and certain of its officers, in aggregate, would be worthless because following the redemption of the public shares, ACE would likely have few, if any, net assets and because the Sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to the Sponsor if ACE fails to complete a business combination within the required period. The Sponsor purchased the ACE Class B ordinary shares prior to ACE’s initial public offering for approximately $0.004 per share and certain of ACE’s directors and executive officers, including Behrooz Abdi, have an economic interest in such shares. The 3,750,000 shares of New Tempo common stock that the Sponsor (including the independent directors, certain officers and initial shareholders of ACE and their permitted transferees, and excluding the Sponsor Related PIPE Investors) are expected to hold following the Merger (including after giving effect to the Domestication), if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of approximately $38.25 million based upon the closing price of $10.20 per public share on Nasdaq on August 31, 2022, the most recent practicable date prior

82

to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Given such shares of New Tempo common stock will be subject to certain restrictions, including those described above, ACE believes such shares have less value. The 6,600,000 New Tempo warrants into which the 6,600,000 private placement warrants held by the Sponsor and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees will automatically convert in connection with the Merger (including after giving effect to the Domestication), if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of approximately $726,000 based upon the closing price of $0.11 per public warrant on Nasdaq on August 31, 2022, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

● The Sponsor (including its representatives and affiliates) and ACE’s directors and officers may, in the future, become affiliated with entities that are engaged in a similar business to ACE. The Sponsor and ACE’s directors and officers are not prohibited from sponsoring, or otherwise becoming involved with, any other blank check companies prior to ACE completing its initial business combination (assuming ACE has entered into the Merger Agreement). Moreover, certain of ACE’s directors and officers have time and attention requirements for investment funds of which affiliates of the Sponsor are the investment managers. ACE’s directors and officers also may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to ACE, and the other entities to which they owe certain fiduciary or contractual duties. Accordingly, they may have had conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. These conflicts may not be resolved in ACE’s favor and such potential business opportunities may be presented to other entities prior to their presentation to ACE, subject to applicable fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands Companies Act and Cayman Islands common law. ACE’s Cayman Constitutional Documents provide that ACE renounces its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer of ACE which may be an opportunity for such director, on the one hand, or ACE, on the other.

● ACE’s existing and former directors and officers will be eligible for continued indemnification and continued coverage under ACE’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Merger and pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

● The Sponsor Related PIPE Investors have subscribed for $2,000,000 of the PIPE Investment, for which they will receive 200,000 shares of New Tempo common stock. The 200,000 shares which the Sponsor Related PIPE Investors have subscribed for in the PIPE Investment, if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of approximately $2.04 million based upon the closing price of $10.20 per public share on Nasdaq on August 31, 2022, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. See “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions — ACE Convergence Acquisition Corp. — PIPE Subscription Agreements” for additional information.

● In the event that ACE fails to consummate a business combination within the prescribed time frame (pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents), or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with the Business Combination, ACE will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against ACE within the ten years following such redemption. In order to protect the amounts held in ACE’s trust account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to ACE if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than ACE’s independent auditors) for services rendered or products sold to ACE, or a prospective target business with which ACE has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) 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 value of the trust assets, in each case, net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any 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 indemnity of the underwriters of ACE’s initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

● In order to finance transaction costs in connection with ACE’s initial business combination (including any amounts which are currently outstanding), the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of ACE’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan funds to ACE as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes that would each become due and payable in full, without interest, upon completion of ACE’s initial business combination, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of notes may be converted upon completion of a business combination into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Such warrants would be identical to ACE’s private placement warrants. In the event that ACE does not complete its initial business combination within the prescribed time frame, ACE may use a portion of its working capital held outside of its trust account to repay any Working Capital Loans made to ACE, but no proceeds held in the trust account would be used to repay such Working Capital Loans, and the applicable related party lender or lenders may not be able to recover the

83

value it or they have loaned to ACE pursuant to such Working Capital Loans. On August 12, 2020, ACE entered into a working capital facility (the “Working Capital Facility”) with ASIA-IO Advisors Limited (“ASIA-IO”), an affiliate of the Sponsor, in the aggregate amount of $1,500,000. The funds from the Working Capital Facility will be utilized to finance transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination. The Working Capital Facility is non-interest bearing, non-convertible and due to be repaid upon the consummation of a Business Combination. In return, ACE deposited $900,000 into an account held by ASIA-IO, from which the Company may make fund withdrawals for up to $1,500,000. As part of the Working Capital Facility, ASIA-IO waived the right to convert the Working Capital Loan into private placement warrants. Any outstanding amounts deposited with ASIA-IO upon the completion of a Business Combination or dissolution of ACE, will be returned to ACE. In November 2020, the deposit amount was reduced by $850,000. As of June 30, 2022, ACE had $829,295 of borrowings under the Working Capital Facility.

● On January 13, 2022, ACE entered into a Convertible Promissory Note (as amended and restated on June 30, 2022, the “Promissory Note”) with the Sponsor. Pursuant to the Promissory Note, the Sponsor has agreed that it will contribute to ACE as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “Contribution”) $0.03 for each Class A ordinary share of ACE that was not redeemed in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the extension of the deadline by which ACE must complete its initial business combination, for each month (or a pro rata portion thereof if less than a month) until the earlier of (i) the date of the extraordinary general meeting held in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the Business Combination and (ii) $1.5 million has been loaned. Up to $1.5 million of the loans may be settled in whole warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares of ACE at a conversion price equal to $1.00 per warrant. The Contribution(s) will not bear any interest, and will be repayable by ACE to the Sponsor upon the earlier of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination and the consummation of the Business Combination. ACE’s board of directors will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional months until $1.5 million in the aggregate has been loaned, and if ACE’s board of directors determines not to continue extending for additional months, the Sponsor’s obligation to make additional Contributions will terminate. If this occurs, ACE would wind up ACE’s affairs and redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in ACE’s Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. The maturity date of the Promissory Note may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined therein). Any outstanding principal under the Promissory Note may be prepaid at any time by ACE, at its election and without penalty, provided, however, that the Sponsor shall have a right to first convert such principal balance as described in Section 6 of the Promissory Note upon notice of such prepayment. If the Business Combination is not completed and ACE winds up, there will not be sufficient assets to repay the Promissory Note and it will be worthless. On June 30, 2022, ACE and the Sponsor amended and restated the Promissory Note in its entirety to, among other things, increase the aggregate principal amount available thereunder from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000, contingent upon the approval by ACE’s shareholders of the extension of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination to October 13, 2022. Monthly deposits into the trust account following the July 2022 redemptions are based on the number of public shares still outstanding following such redemptions. On August 28, 2022, ACE and the Sponsor amended and restated the Sponsor Loan in its entirety to, among other things, increase the aggregate principal amount available thereunder from $2,000,000 to $2,125,000, the effectiveness of which is conditioned upon the approval by ACE’s shareholders of the proposal to amend ACE’s Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which ACE must consummate an initial business combination from October 13, 2022, to January 30, 2023. Monthly deposits into ACE’s trust account following such extension will be based on the number of public shares still outstanding following such extension.

● Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Sponsor and ACE’s directors and officers will have customary registration rights, including demand and piggy-back rights, subject to cooperation and cut-back provisions with respect to the shares of New Tempo common stock and warrants held by such parties following the consummation of the Business Combination.

● Ryan Benton, a director of ACE, is also Chief Financial Officer of Tempo and as such is an interested party to the Business Combination. Mr. Benton recused himself from the ACE board of directors meetings and certain votes regarding the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination.

● On July 1, 2022, ACE, Tempo and AEPI entered into the Bridge Note, pursuant to which AEPI agreed to loan to Tempo up to an aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million, $2.5 million of which was advanced to Tempo as of June 30, 2022. On August 25, 2022, in connection with the Bridge Financing, the Bridge Note was amended and restated on substantially similar terms to the August 2022 Bridge Notes. In connection with the entry into the Bridge Note, on July 1, 2022, AEPI and ACE entered into the Bridge Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which AEPI agreed, at the closing of the Business Combination, to subscribe for up to 500,000 shares of New Tempo common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share.

84

The number of shares AEPI committed to purchase would be automatically reduced in an amount equal to (a) the difference between $5,000,000 and the Bridge Note Drawn Amount, divided by (b) $10.00, rounded up to the nearest whole share. On September 7, 2022, the Bridge Subscription Agreement was terminated in its entirety in connection with the amendment and restatement by ACE, Tempo and AEPI of the Bridge Note in connection with the Bridge Financing.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of ACE’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of ACE and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, ACE’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section titled “— Interests of ACE’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

The personal and financial interests of the Sponsor and ACE’s directors and officers may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting Tempo as a business combination target, completing an initial business combination with Tempo and influencing the operation of the business following the initial business combination. In considering the recommendations of ACE’s board of directors to vote for the proposals, its shareholders should consider these interests.

The exercise of ACE’s directors’ and executive officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Business Combination may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business Combination or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in ACE’s shareholders’ best interest.

In the period leading up to the Closing, events may occur that, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, would require ACE to agree to amend the Merger Agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by Tempo or to waive rights that ACE is entitled to under the Merger Agreement. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of Tempo’s business or a request by Tempo to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Merger Agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be at ACE’s discretion, acting through its board of directors, to grant its consent or waive those rights. The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of the directors described in the preceding risk factors (and described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus) may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is best for ACE and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, ACE does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that ACE’s directors and executive officers would be likely to make after shareholder approval of the Business Combination Proposal has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further shareholder approval, ACE will circulate a new or amended proxy statement/prospectus and resolicit ACE’s shareholders if changes to the terms of the transaction that would have a material impact on its shareholders are required prior to the vote on the Business Combination Proposal.

Deferred underwriting fees in connection with the IPO and payable at the consummation of the Business Combination will not be adjusted to account for redemptions by the public stockholders; if the public stockholders exercise their redemption rights, the amount of effective total underwriting commissions as a percentage of the aggregate proceeds from the IPO will increase.

The underwriters in the IPO are entitled to deferred underwriting commissions totaling $8.05 million upon the consummation of the Business Combination, such amounts being held in our trust account until the consummation of the Business Combination. Such amounts will not be adjusted to account for redemptions of ACE Class A ordinary shares by the public shareholders. Accordingly, the amount of effective total underwriting commissions as a percentage of the aggregate proceeds from the IPO will increase as the number of shares of ACE Class A ordinary shares redeemed increases. In January 2022, public shareholders redeemed 14,797,723 public shares, or approximately 64.34%, in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the extension of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination to July 13, 2022. Such redemption demands have been completed and such shares have been redeemed. As a result, approximately $148,079,821 was paid out of the trust account in connection with such redemptions. In July 2022, public shareholders redeemed 4,256,979 public shares, or approximately 51.90%, in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the extension of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination to October 13, 2022. Such redemption demands have been completed and such shares have been redeemed. As a result, approximately $43,349,494 was paid out of the trust account in connection with such redemptions. There have been two redemption events: one in January 2022, in which 14,797,723 shares were redeemed, and one in July 2022, in which 4,256,979 shares were redeemed. As of August 31, 2022, there are 3,945,298 ACE Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding All demands for redemption made in connection with the shareholder votes to extend the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination have been completed, and such shares have been redeemed. At an assumed redemption price of approximately $10.27 per share, including the expected proceeds received from the Promissory

85

Note with the Sponsor: (a) if the remaining public shareholders exercise redemption rights with respect to 747,653 ACE Class A ordinary shares, 25% of the maximum redemption scenario, the amount of effective underwriting commissions due to the underwriters upon the consummation of the Business Combination will represent 40.95% (inclusive of the $4.6 million of underwriting commissions previously paid) of the aggregate proceeds from the IPO retained by ACE taking into account such redemptions; (b) if public shareholders exercise redemption rights with respect to 1,495,306 ACE Class A ordinary shares, 50% of the maximum redemption scenario, the amount of effective underwriting commissions due to the underwriters upon the consummation of the Business Combination will represent 54.49% (inclusive of the $4.6 million of underwriting commissions previously paid) of the aggregate proceeds from the IPO retained by ACE taking into account such redemptions; (c) if public shareholders exercise redemption rights with respect to 2,242,959 ACE Class A ordinary shares, 75% of the maximum redemption scenario, the amount of effective underwriting commissions due to the underwriters upon the consummation of the Business Combination will represent 81.43% (inclusive of the $4.6 million of underwriting commissions previously paid) of the aggregate proceeds from the IPO retained by ACE taking into account such redemptions; and (d) if public shareholders exercise redemption rights with respect to 2,990,612 ACE Class A ordinary shares, the maximum redemption scenario, the amount of effective underwriting commissions due to the underwriters upon the consummation of our initial business combination would (to the extent paid in cash) exceed the aggregate proceeds from the IPO retained by ACE taking into account such redemptions, and such commissions would be paid by New Tempo from other sources.

We and Tempo will incur significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Business Combination.

We and Tempo have both incurred and expect to incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with consummating the Business Combination and operating as a public company following the consummation of the Business Combination. We and Tempo may also incur additional costs to retain key employees. Certain transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Merger Agreement (including the Business Combination), including all legal, accounting, consulting, investment banking and other fees, expenses and costs, will be paid by ACE at the Closing out of the funds available in the Trust Account.

The announcement of the proposed Business Combination could disrupt New Tempo’s relationships with its customers, suppliers, business partners and others, as well as its operating results and business generally.

Whether or not the Business Combination and related transactions are ultimately consummated, as a result of uncertainty related to the proposed transactions, risks relating to the impact of the announcement of the Business Combination on New Tempo’s business include the following:

● its employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles, which might adversely affect New Tempo’s ability to retain and hire key personnel and other employees;

● customers, suppliers, business partners and other parties with which New Tempo maintains business relationships may experience uncertainty about its future and seek alternative relationships with third parties, seek to alter their business relationships with New Tempo or fail to extend an existing relationship with New Tempo; and

● New Tempo has expended and will continue to expend significant costs, fees and expenses for professional services and transaction costs in connection with the proposed Business Combination.

If any of the aforementioned risks were to materialize, they could lead to significant costs which may impact New Tempo’s results of operations and cash available to fund its business.

Subsequent to consummation of the Business Combination, we may be exposed to unknown or contingent liabilities and may be required to subsequently take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations and our share price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

We cannot assure you that the due diligence conducted in relation to Tempo has identified all material issues or risks associated with Tempo, its business or the industries in which it competes. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that factors outside of Tempo’s and our control will not later arise. As a result of these factors, we may be exposed to liabilities and incur additional costs and expenses and we may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure our operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in our reporting losses. Even if our due diligence has identified certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with our preliminary risk

86

analysis. If any of these risks materialize, this could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and could contribute to negative market perceptions about our securities or New Tempo. Additionally, we have no indemnification rights against the Tempo Stockholders under the Merger Agreement and substantially all of the purchase price consideration will be delivered at the Closing.

Accordingly, any shareholders or warrant holders of ACE who choose to remain New Tempo stockholders or warrant holders following the Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares, warrants and units. Such shareholders or warrant holders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value unless they are able to successfully claim that the reduction was due to the breach by our directors or officers of a duty of care or other fiduciary duty owed to them, or if they are able to successfully bring a private claim under securities laws that the registration statement or proxy statement/ prospectus relating to the Business Combination contained an actionable material misstatement or material omission.

The historical financial results of Tempo and unaudited pro forma financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus may not be indicative of what New Tempo’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been.

The historical financial results of Tempo included in this proxy statement/prospectus do not reflect the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows it would have achieved as a combined company during the periods presented or those New Tempo will achieve in the future. This is primarily the result of the following factors: (i) New Tempo will incur additional ongoing costs as a result of the Business Combination, including costs related to public company reporting, investor relations and compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; and (ii) New Tempo’s capital structure will be different from that reflected in Tempo’s historical financial statements. New Tempo’s financial condition and future results of operations could be materially different from amounts reflected in its historical financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, so it may be difficult for investors to compare New Tempo’s future results to historical results or to evaluate its relative performance or trends in its business.

Similarly, the unaudited pro forma financial information in this proxy statement/prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and has been prepared based on a number of assumptions including, but not limited to, ACE being treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes in the Business Combination, the total debt obligations and the cash and cash equivalents of Tempo on the Closing Date and the number of ACE Class A ordinary shares that are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. Accordingly, such pro forma financial information may not be indicative of New Tempo’s future operating or financial performance. New Tempo’s actual financial condition and results of operations may vary materially from New Tempo’s pro forma results of operations and balance sheet contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, including as a result of such assumptions not being accurate. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, our only significant asset will be our ownership interest in Tempo and such ownership may not be sufficient to pay dividends or make distributions or loans to enable us to pay any dividends on New Tempo common stock or satisfy our other financial obligations.

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, we will have no direct operations and no significant assets other than our ownership of Tempo. We and certain investors, the Tempo Stockholders, and directors and officers of Tempo and its affiliates will become stockholders of New Tempo. We will depend on Tempo for distributions, loans and other payments to generate the funds necessary to meet our financial obligations, including our expenses as a publicly traded company and to pay any dividends with respect to New Tempo common stock. The financial condition and operating requirements of Tempo may limit our ability to obtain cash from Tempo. The earnings from, or other available assets of, Tempo may not be sufficient to pay dividends or make distributions or loans to enable us to pay any dividends on New Tempo common stock or satisfy our other financial obligations.

This lack of diversification may subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory risks, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact upon the particular industry in which we may operate subsequent to our Business Combination.

We have a specified maximum redemption threshold. This redemption threshold may make it more difficult for us to complete the Business Combination as contemplated.

The Merger Agreement provides that Tempo’s obligation to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on, among other things, that as of the Closing, (i) the amount of cash available in the trust account into which substantially all of the proceeds of our initial public offering and private placements of our warrants have been deposited for the benefit of ACE, certain of our public shareholders and the underwriters of our initial public offering (the “trust account”), after deducting the amount required to satisfy our

87

obligations to our shareholders (if any) that exercise their rights to redeem their ACE Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents (but prior to payment of (a) any deferred underwriting commissions being held in the trust account and (b) any transaction expenses of ACE or its affiliates and Tempo) (such amount, the “Trust Amount”), plus (ii) the PIPE Investment Amount actually received by ACE prior to or substantially concurrently with the Closing, plus (iii) the Available Credit Amount, plus (iv) the Available Cash Amount (the sum of (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), the “Available Acquiror Cash”), is at least equal to or greater than $10.0 million (the “Minimum Available Acquiror Cash Amount” and, such condition, the “Minimum Cash Condition”).

If the Available Cash is equal to or greater than $10.0 million, then the Minimum Cash Condition will be deemed to have been satisfied. This condition is for the sole benefit of Tempo. If such condition is not met, and such condition is not or cannot be waived under the terms of the Merger Agreement, then the Merger Agreement could terminate and the proposed Business Combination may not be consummated. In addition, the Merger Agreement provides that the obligations of ACE, Merger Sub and Tempo to consummate the Merger are conditioned on, among other things, that pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, in no event will ACE redeem public shares in an amount that would cause New Tempo’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) to be less than $5,000,001.

There can be no assurance that Tempo could and would waive the Minimum Cash Condition. Furthermore, as provided in the Cayman Constitutional Documents, in no event will we redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. If such conditions are not met, and such conditions are not or cannot be waived under the terms of the Merger Agreement, then the Merger Agreement could terminate and the proposed Business Combination may not be consummated.

If such conditions are waived and the Business Combination is consummated with less than the Minimum Available Acquiror Cash Amount in the trust account, the cash held by New Tempo and its subsidiaries (including Tempo) in the aggregate, after the Closing may not be sufficient to allow us to operate and pay our bills as they become due. Furthermore, our affiliates are not obligated to make loans to us in the future (other than the Sponsor’s commitment to provide us loans in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination). The additional exercise of redemption rights with respect to a large number of our public shareholders may make us unable to take such actions as may be desirable in order to optimize the capital structure of New Tempo after consummation of the Business Combination and we may not be able to raise additional financing from unaffiliated parties necessary to fund our expenses and liabilities after the Closing. Any such event in the future may negatively impact the analysis regarding our ability to continue as a going concern at such time.

The Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may, subject to compliance with applicable laws, elect to purchase shares or warrants from public shareholders, which may influence the vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of our securities.

Subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material nonpublic information), the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may (i) purchase public shares from institutional and other investors (including those who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the Condition Precedent Proposals, or elect to redeem, or indicate an intention to redeem, public shares), (ii) enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives not redeem their public shares, or (iii) execute agreements to purchase such public shares from such investors or enter into non-redemption agreements in the future. In the event that the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates purchase public shares in situations in which the tender offer rules restrictions on purchases would apply, they (a) would purchase the public shares at a price no higher than the price offered through the ACE redemption process (i.e., approximately $10.17 per share based on trust account figures as of June 30, 2022); (b) would represent in writing that such public shares will not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination; and (c) would waive in writing any redemption rights with respect to the public shares so purchased.

To the extent any such purchases are made by the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates in situations in which the tender offer rules and restrictions on purchases apply, ACE will disclose in a Current Report on Form 8-K prior to the extraordinary general meeting the following: (i) the number of ACE public shares purchased outside of the redemption offer, along with the purchase price(s) for such public shares; (ii) the purpose of any such purchases; (iii) the impact, if any, of the purchases on the likelihood that the Business Combination Proposal will be approved; (iv) the identities of the ACE securityholders who sold to the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of the securityholders (e.g., 5% security holders) who sold such public shares; and (v) the number of ordinary shares for which ACE has received redemption requests pursuant to its redemption offer.

88

The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of (x) satisfaction of the Minimum Cash Condition, (y) otherwise limiting the number of public shares electing to redeem and (z) ACE’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) being at least $5,000,001. A purchase of warrants by the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may have the effect of increasing share ownership of Tempo on a fully diluted basis.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Consistent with SEC guidance, purchases of shares by the persons described above would not be permitted to be voted for the Business Combination at the extraordinary general meeting and could decrease the chances that the Business Combination would be approved. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our securities and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.

ACE hereby represents that any SPAC securities purchased by the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates in situations in which the tender offer rules restrictions on purchases would apply would not be voted in favor of approving the business combination transaction.

There are risks to ACE shareholders who are not affiliates of the Sponsor associated with becoming stockholders of New Tempo through the Business Combination rather than acquiring securities of Tempo directly in an underwritten public offering, including no independent due diligence review by an underwriter and conflicts of interest of the Sponsor.

Because there is no independent third-party underwriter involved in the Business Combination or the issuance of common stock and warrants in connection therewith, investors will not receive the benefit of any outside independent review of ACE’s and Tempo’s respective finances and operations. Underwritten public offerings of securities conducted by a licensed broker-dealer are subjected to a due diligence review by the underwriter or dealer-manager to satisfy statutory duties under the Securities Act, the rules of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) and the national securities exchange where such securities are listed. Additionally, underwriters or dealer-managers conducting such public offerings are subject to liability for any material misstatements or omissions in a registration statement filed in connection with the public offering. As no such review will be conducted in connection with the Business Combination, ACE’s shareholders must rely on the information in this prospectus/proxy statement and will not have the benefit of an independent review and investigation of the type normally performed by an independent underwriter in a public securities offering.

In addition, the Sponsor and certain of ACE’s executive officers and directors have interests in the Business Combination that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of ACE’s shareholders generally. Such interests may have influenced the ACE Board in making its recommendation that you vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals described in this prospectus/proxy statement. See the section titled “Business Combination Proposal  -  Interests of ACE’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Future resales of common stock after the consummation of the Business Combination may cause the market price of New Tempo’s securities to drop significantly, even if New Tempo’s business is doing well.

Pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreement, after the consummation of the Business Combination and subject to certain exceptions, the Sponsor and certain former stockholders of Tempo will be contractually restricted from selling or transferring any of their shares of common stock (not including the shares of New Tempo common stock that are expected to be issued in the PIPE Investment pursuant to the terms of the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements) (the “Lock-up Shares”). Such restrictions begin at Closing and end on the earlier of (i) the date that is 365 days after Closing, (ii) the closing of a merger, liquidation, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction after the Closing date of the Merger that results in all of the public stockholders of New Tempo having the right to exchange their shares of New Tempo common stock for cash securities or other property, (iii) the day after the date on which the closing price of the New Tempo common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any twenty trading days within any thirty-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the closing date of the Merger or (iv) the liquidation of New Tempo.

However, following the expiration of such lockup, the Sponsor and certain former stockholders of Tempo will not be restricted from selling shares of New Tempo’s common stock held by them, other than by applicable securities laws. Additionally, the Third Party PIPE Investors will not be restricted from selling any of their shares of our common stock following the Closing, other than by applicable securities laws. As such, sales of a substantial number of shares of New Tempo

89

common stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of New Tempo common stock. Upon completion of the Business Combination, the Sponsor and certain former stockholders of Tempo will collectively beneficially own approximately 65.1% of the outstanding shares of New Tempo common stock (not including the shares of New Tempo common stock that are expected to be issued in the PIPE Investment pursuant to the terms of the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements), assuming that no additional public shareholders redeem their public shares in connection with the Business Combination. Assuming max redemption of 2,988,096 public shares in connection with the Business Combination, in the aggregate, the ownership of the Sponsor and certain former stockholders of Tempo would rise to 70.0% of the outstanding shares of New Tempo common stock (not including the shares of New Tempo common stock that are expected to be issued to Third Party PIPE Investors in the PIPE Investment pursuant to the terms of the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements).

The shares held by the Sponsor and certain former stockholders of Tempo may be sold after the expiration of the applicable lock-up period under the Lock-Up Agreement. As restrictions on resale end and registration statements (filed after the Closing to provide for the resale of such shares from time to time) are available for use, the sale or possibility of sale of these shares could have the effect of increasing the volatility in New Tempo’s share price or the market price of New Tempo common stock could decline if the holders of currently restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.

We are not registering the shares of New Tempo common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants under the Securities Act or any state securities laws at this time, and such registration may not be in place when an investor desires to exercise warrants, thus precluding such investor from being able to exercise its warrants and causing such warrants to expire worthless.

We are not registering the shares of New Tempo common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants under the Securities Act or any state securities laws at this time. However, under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, we have agreed that, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of our initial business combination, we will use our commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the issuance of such shares, and we will use our commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of our initial business combination and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and a current prospectus relating to those shares of New Tempo common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed. We cannot assure you that we will be able to do so if, for example, any facts or events arise which represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement or prospectus, the financial statements contained or incorporated by reference therein are not current, complete or correct or the SEC issues a stop order. If the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are not registered under the Securities Act in accordance with the above requirements, we will be required to permit holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. However, no warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and we will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder or an exemption from registration is available. Notwithstanding the above, if New Tempo’s common stock is 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, we may, at our 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 we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but we will use our commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. In no event will we be required to net cash settle any warrant, or issue securities or other compensation in exchange for the warrants in the event that we are unable to register or qualify the shares underlying the warrants under applicable state securities laws and no exemption is available. If the issuance of the shares upon exercise of the warrants is not so registered or qualified or exempt from registration or qualification, the holder of such warrant shall not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In such event, holders who acquired their warrants as part of a purchase of units will have paid the full unit purchase price solely for the shares of New Tempo common stock included in the units. There may be a circumstance where an exemption from registration exists for holders of our private placement warrants to exercise their warrants while a corresponding exemption does not exist for holders of the public warrants. In such an instance, the Sponsor and its permitted transferees (which may include our directors and executive officers) would be able to exercise their warrants and sell the ordinary shares underlying their warrants while holders of our public warrants would not be able to exercise their warrants and sell the underlying ordinary shares. If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying shares of New Tempo common stock for sale under all applicable state securities laws. As a result, we may redeem the warrants as set forth above even if the holders are otherwise unable to exercise their warrants.

90

If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.00 per share (which was the offering price per unit in our initial public offering).

Our placing of funds in the trust account may not protect those funds from third-party claims against us. Although we will seek to have all vendors, service providers (other than our independent auditors), prospective target businesses and other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the trust account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the trust account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the trust account, our management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver only if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative.

Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason. Upon redemption of our public shares, if we have not completed our business combination within the required time period, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with our business combination, we will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against us within the 10 years following redemption.

Accordingly, the per share redemption amount received by public shareholders could be less than the $10.00 per public share initially held in the trust account, due to claims of such creditors.

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than our independent auditors) for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have 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 taxes, except as to any 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 our indemnity of the underwriters of this offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under 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. We have not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of our company. The Sponsor may not have sufficient funds available to satisfy those obligations. We have not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such obligations, and therefore, no funds are currently set aside to cover any such obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the trust account, the funds available for our business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per public share. In such event, we may not be able to complete our business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your public shares. None of our directors or officers will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

If, after we distribute the proceeds in the trust account to our public shareholders, ACE files a winding-up or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary winding-up or bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds, and we and our board of directors may be exposed to claims of punitive damages.

If, after we distribute the proceeds in the trust account to our public shareholders, we file a winding-up or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary winding-up or bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or insolvency laws as a voidable performance. As a result, a liquidator could seek to recover all amounts received by our shareholders. In addition, our board of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors or having acted in bad faith, thereby exposing it and us to claims of punitive damages, by paying public shareholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.

91

If, before distributing the proceeds in the trust account to our public shareholders, we file a winding-up or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary winding-up or bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of our shareholders and the per share amount that would otherwise be received by our shareholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the trust account to our public shareholders, we file a winding-up or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary winding-up or bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable insolvency law, and may be included in our liquidation estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders. To the extent any liquidation claims deplete the trust account, the per share amount that would otherwise be received by our shareholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

Our shareholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against us to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.

If we are forced to enter into an insolvent liquidation, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed as an unlawful payment if it was proved that immediately following the date on which the distribution was made, we were unable to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. As a result, a liquidator could seek to recover all amounts received by our shareholders. Furthermore, our directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to us or our creditors or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing themselves and our company to claims, by paying public shareholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.

Compliance obligations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may make it more difficult for us to effectuate the Business Combination, require substantial financial and management resources and increase the time and costs of completing a business combination.

The fact that we are a blank check company makes compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act particularly burdensome on us as compared to other public companies because Tempo is not currently subject to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The standards required for a public company under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are significantly more stringent than those required of Tempo as a privately held company. Management may not be able to effectively and timely implement controls and procedures that adequately respond to the increased regulatory compliance and reporting requirements that will be applicable to New Tempo after the Business Combination. If we are not able to implement the requirements of Section 404, including any additional requirements once we are no longer an emerging growth company, in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, we may not be able to assess whether our internal control over financial reporting is effective, which may subject us to adverse regulatory consequences and could harm investor confidence and the market price of New Tempo common stock. Additionally, once we are no longer an emerging growth company, we will be required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement on our internal control over financial reporting.

The public stockholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of New Tempo common stock as consideration in the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment and due to future issuances pursuant to the 2022 Plan. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that our current stockholders have on the management of New Tempo.

Following the Business Combination, (1) ACE’s public shareholders are expected to own approximately 13.9% of the outstanding New Tempo common stock, (2) former Tempo stockholders (without taking into account any public shares held by Tempo Stockholders prior to the consummation of the Business Combination or shares of New Tempo stock issuable to holders of New Tempo Options) are expected to own approximately 51.2% of the outstanding New Tempo common stock, at a deemed value of $10.00 per share of New Tempo common stock and after giving effect to the Per Share Merger Consideration, (3) the Sponsor and related parties (including the Sponsor Related PIPE Investors) are expected to collectively own approximately 22.1% of the outstanding New Tempo common stock (taking into account the SSA Exchange), (4) CFPI is expected to own approximately 4.1% of the outstanding New Tempo common stock and (5) the Third Party PIPE Investors (together with the Sponsor Related PIPE Investors, the “PIPE Investors”) are expected to own approximately 8.7% of the outstanding New Tempo common stock. These percentages assume (i) that no public shareholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination, (ii) no exercise of the public and private warrants or options or issuance of any shares of New Tempo common stock in connection with the Tempo Earnout Shares, (iii) that (x) New Tempo issues or reserves for issuance 14,542,197 shares of New Tempo common stock to Tempo Stockholders as part of the Aggregate Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement and (y) New Tempo issues 3,050,000 shares of New Tempo common stock to the PIPE Investors pursuant to the PIPE Investment and (v) 1,155,000 shares of New Tempo to CFPI. If the actual facts are different from these assumptions, the percentage ownership retained by current ACE shareholders and Tempo Stockholders in New Tempo will be different.

92

Certain Tempo current and former employees, directors and consultants currently hold equity awards covering Tempo common stock. You will experience additional dilution when those equity awards become vested and settled or exercisable, as applicable, for shares of New Tempo common stock.

The issuance of additional common stock will significantly dilute the equity interests of existing holders of ACE securities and may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our units, public shares or public warrants.

Warrants will become exercisable for New Tempo common stock, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our stockholders.

Outstanding private placement warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6,600,000 shares of New Tempo common stock will become exercisable in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement governing those securities, and outstanding public warrants to purchase an aggregate of 11,500,000 shares of New Tempo common stock will become exercisable. These warrants will become exercisable at any time commencing on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination and 12 months from the closing of our initial public offering, except as otherwise described in this proxy statement/prospectus. The exercise price of these warrants will be $11.50 per share. To the extent such warrants are exercised, additional shares of New Tempo common stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to the holders of New Tempo common stock and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market or the fact that such warrants may be exercised could adversely affect the market price of New Tempo common stock. However, there is no guarantee that the public warrants will ever be in the money prior to their expiration, and as such, the warrants may expire worthless. See “— Even if the Business Combination is consummated, the public warrants may never be in the money, and they may expire worthless and the terms of the warrants may be amended in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding public warrants approve of such amendment.”

Even if the Business Combination is consummated, the public warrants may never be in the money, and they may expire worthless and the terms of the warrants may be amended in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding public warrants approve of such amendment.

The warrants were issued in registered form under a Warrant Agreement between Continental, as warrant agent, and ACE. The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding public warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of public warrants and, solely with respect to any amendment to the terms of the private placement warrants or any provision of the warrant agreement with respect to the private placement warrants, 65% of the number of the then outstanding private placement warrants. Accordingly, we may amend the terms of the public warrants in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding public warrants approve of such amendment. Although our ability to amend the terms of the public warrants with the consent of at least 65% of the then outstanding public warrants is unlimited, examples of such amendments could be amendments to, among other things, increase the exercise price of the warrants, shorten the exercise period or decrease the number of shares of New Tempo common stock purchasable upon exercise of a warrant.

We may redeem your unexpired warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your warrants worthless.

We have the ability to redeem the outstanding warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant if, among other things, the last reported sale price of New Tempo’s common stock for any twenty trading days within any thirty-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like). If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. As a result, we may redeem the warrants as set forth above even if the holders are otherwise unable to exercise the warrants. Redemption of the outstanding warrants as described above could force you to: (i) exercise your warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so (ii) sell your warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your warrants; or (iii) accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding warrants are called for redemption, we expect would be substantially less than the market value of your warrants. None of the private placement warrants will be redeemable by us so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. Following the Business Combination, New Tempo currently intends to retain its future earnings, if any, to finance the further development and expansion of

93

its business and does not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of New Tempo’s board of directors and will depend on its financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and future agreements and financing instruments, business prospects and such other factors as its board of directors deems relevant.

Nasdaq may not list New Tempo’s securities on its exchange, and New Tempo may not be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in New Tempo’s securities and subject New Tempo to additional trading restrictions.

In connection with the Business Combination, in order to continue to maintain the listing of our securities on Nasdaq, we will be required to demonstrate compliance with Nasdaq’s initial listing requirements, which are more rigorous than Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements. We will apply to have New Tempo’s securities listed on Nasdaq upon consummation of the Business Combination. We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet all initial listing requirements. Even if New Tempo’s securities are listed on Nasdaq, New Tempo may be unable to maintain the listing of its securities in the future.

If New Tempo fails to meet the initial listing requirements and Nasdaq does not list its securities on its exchange, Tempo would not be required to consummate the Business Combination. In the event that Tempo elected to waive this condition, and the Business Combination was consummated without New Tempo’s securities being listed on Nasdaq or on another national securities exchange, New Tempo could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

● a limited availability of market quotations for New Tempo’s securities;

● reduced liquidity for New Tempo’s securities;

● a determination that New Tempo common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in New Tempo common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for New Tempo’s securities;

● a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

● a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” If New Tempo’s securities were not listed on Nasdaq, such securities would not qualify as covered securities and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities because states are not preempted from regulating the sale of securities that are not covered securities.

ACE’s and Tempo’s ability to consummate the Business Combination, and the operations of New Tempo following the Business Combination, may be materially adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, which has and is continuing to spread throughout the world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” On January 31, 2020, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services declared a public health emergency for the United States to aid the U.S., and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the COVID-19 outbreak as a “pandemic.”

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted, and other infectious diseases could result, in a widespread health crisis that has and could continue to adversely affect the economies and financial markets worldwide, business operations and the conduct of commerce generally, which may delay or prevent the consummation of the Business Combination, and the business of Tempo or New Tempo following the Business Combination could be materially and adversely affected. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19, the spread of COVID-19 variants, the duration of the outbreak and speed of vaccinations, and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others.

The parties will be required to consummate the Business Combination even if Tempo, its business, financial condition and results of operations are materially affected by COVID-19. The disruptions posed by COVID-19 have continued, and other matters of global concern may continue, for an extensive period of time, and if Tempo is unable to recover from business disruptions due to COVID-19

94

or other matters of global concern on a timely basis, Tempo’s ability to consummate the Business Combination and New Tempo’s financial condition and results of operations following the Business Combination may be materially adversely affected. Each of Tempo and New Tempo may also incur additional costs due to delays caused by COVID-19, which could adversely affect New Tempo’s financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to New Tempo

Concentration of ownership among New Tempo’s executive officers, directors and their affiliates may prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions.

Upon completion of the Business Combination, the stockholders of Tempo will own, directly or indirectly:

● approximately 51.3% of New Tempo’s outstanding common stock and the executive officers, directors of New Tempo and their affiliates as a group will beneficially own approximately 12.45% of the New Tempo outstanding common stock, assuming no redemption of the ACE public shares; or

● approximately 55.2% of New Tempo’s outstanding common stock and the executive officers, directors of New Tempo and their affiliates as a group will beneficially own approximately 13.34% of New Tempo’s outstanding common stock, assuming the max redemptions of 2,988,096 ACE public shares.

As a result, these stockholders will be able to exercise a significant level of control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, appointment and removal of officers, any amendment of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation and approval of mergers and other business combination transactions requiring stockholder approval, including proposed transactions that would result in New Tempo stockholders receiving a premium price for their shares and other significant corporate transactions. This control could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in management and will make the approval of certain transactions difficult or impossible without the support of these stockholders.

If the Business Combination’s benefits do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of ACE’s securities or, following the Closing, New Tempo’s securities, may decline.

If the perceived benefits of the Business Combination do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of ACE’s securities prior to the Closing may decline. The market values of New Tempo’s securities at the time of the Business Combination may vary significantly from their prices on the date the Merger Agreement was executed, the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, or the date on which ACE’s stockholders vote on the Business Combination.

In addition, following the Business Combination, fluctuations in the price of New Tempo’s securities could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. Prior to the Business Combination, there has not been a public market for Tempo’s securities. Accordingly, the valuation ascribed to Tempo may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market following the Business Combination. If an active market for New Tempo’s securities develops and continues, the trading price of New Tempo’s securities following the Business Combination could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond New Tempo’s control. Any of the factors listed below could have a negative impact on your investment in New Tempo’s securities and New Tempo’s securities may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for them. In such circumstances, the trading price of New Tempo’s securities may not recover and may experience a further decline.

Factors affecting the trading price of New Tempo’s securities may include:

● actual or anticipated fluctuations in New Tempo’s quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to it;

● changes in the market’s expectations about New Tempo’s operating results;

● success of competitors;

● failure to attract analyst coverage for New Tempo’s stock or one or more analysts ceasing coverage of New Tempo or failing to publish reports on New Tempo regularly;

95

● New Tempo’s operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;

● changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning New Tempo or the transportation industry in general;

● operating and share price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to New Tempo;

● New Tempo’s ability to market new and enhanced services and technologies on a timely basis;

● changes in laws and regulations affecting New Tempo’s business;

● New Tempo’s ability to meet compliance requirements;

● commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving New Tempo;

● changes in New Tempo’s capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of debt;

● the volume of New Tempo’s shares of common stock available for public sale;

● any major change in New Tempo’s board of directors or management;

● sales of substantial amounts of New Tempo’s shares of common stock by New Tempo’s directors, executive officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur; and

● general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism.

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of New Tempo’s securities irrespective of New Tempo’s operating performance. The stock market in general, and Nasdaq in particular, have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of New Tempo’s securities, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for retail stocks or the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to New Tempo could depress New Tempo’s share price regardless of New Tempo’s business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of New Tempo’s securities also could adversely affect New Tempo’s ability to issue additional securities and New Tempo’s ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

New Tempo’s disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all errors or acts of fraud.

Tempo designed New Tempo’s disclosure controls and procedures to reasonably assure that information New Tempo must disclose in reports New Tempo files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, and recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Tempo believes that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures, no matter how well-conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by an unauthorized override of the controls.

96

Additional Risks Related to Ownership of New Tempo Common Stock Following the Business Combination and New Tempo Operating as a Public Company

The price of New Tempo’s common stock and warrants may be volatile.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the price of New Tempo common stock, as well as New Tempo warrants may fluctuate due to a variety of factors, including:

● changes in the industries in which New Tempo and its customers operate;

● developments involving New Tempo’s competitors;

● developments involving New Tempo’s suppliers;

● market demand and acceptance of New Tempo’s services;

● changes in laws and regulations affecting New Tempo’s business, including export control laws;

● variations in New Tempo’s operating performance and the performance of its competitors in general;

● actual or anticipated fluctuations in New Tempo’s quarterly or annual operating results;

● publication of research reports by securities analysts about New Tempo or its competitors or its industry;

● the public’s reaction to New Tempo’s press releases, its other public announcements and its filings with the SEC;

● actions by stockholders, including the sale by the Third Party PIPE Investors of any of their shares of New Tempo’s common stock;

● additions and departures of key personnel;

● commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving New Tempo;

● changes in its capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;

● the volume of shares of New Tempo common stock available for public sale; and

● general economic and political conditions, such as the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak, recessions, interest rates, local and national elections, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations, corruption, political instability and acts of war or terrorism.

These market and industry factors may materially reduce the market price of New Tempo common stock and warrants regardless of the operating performance of New Tempo.

New Tempo does not intend to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future.

Following the Business Combination, New Tempo currently intends to retain its future earnings, if any, to finance the further development and expansion of its business and does not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of New Tempo’s board of directors and will depend on its financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, restrictions contained in future agreements and financing instruments, business prospects and such other factors as its board of directors deems relevant.

97

Future resales of common stock after the consummation of the Business Combination may cause the market price of New Tempo’s securities to drop significantly, even if New Tempo’s business is doing well.

Pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreement, after the consummation of the Business Combination and subject to certain exceptions, the Sponsor and certain former stockholders of Tempo will be contractually restricted from selling or transferring any of its shares of common stock (not including the shares of New Tempo common stock that are expected to be issued in the PIPE Investment pursuant to the terms of the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements) (the “Lock-up Shares”). Such restrictions begin at Closing and end on the earlier of (i) the date that is 365 days after Closing, (ii) the closing of a merger, liquidation, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction after the Closing date of the Merger that results in all of the public stockholders of New Tempo having the right to exchange their shares of New Tempo common stock for cash securities or other property, (iii) the day after the date on which the closing price of the New Tempo common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any twenty trading days within any thirty-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the closing date of the Merger or (iv) the liquidation of New Tempo.

However, following the expiration of such lockup, the Sponsor and certain former stockholders of Tempo will not be restricted from selling shares of New Tempo’s common stock held by them, other than by applicable securities laws. Additionally, the Third Party PIPE Investors will not be restricted from selling any of their shares of our common stock following the Closing, other than by applicable securities laws. As such, sales of a substantial number of shares of New Tempo common stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of New Tempo common stock. Upon completion of the Business Combination, the Sponsor and certain former stockholders of Tempo will collectively beneficially own approximately 65.1% of the outstanding shares of New Tempo common stock (not including the shares of New Tempo common stock that are expected to be issued in the PIPE Investment pursuant to the terms of the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements), assuming that no additional public shareholders redeem their public shares in connection with the Business Combination. Assuming max redemptions of 2,998,096 public shares in connection with the Business Combination, in the aggregate, the ownership of the Sponsor and certain former stockholders of Tempo would rise to 70.0% of the outstanding shares of New Tempo common stock (not including the shares of New Tempo common stock that are expected to be issued in the PIPE Investment pursuant to the terms of the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements).

The shares held by Sponsor and certain former stockholders of Tempo may be sold after the expiration of the applicable lock-up period under the Lock-Up Agreement. As restrictions on resale end and registration statements (filed after the Closing to provide for the resale of such shares from time to time) are available for use, the sale or possibility of sale of these shares could have the effect of increasing the volatility in New Tempo’s share price or the market price of New Tempo common stock could decline if the holders of currently restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.

Tempo will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and New Tempo’s management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance and investor relations initiatives.

As a public company, New Tempo will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that Tempo did not incur as a private company. New Tempo will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Exchange Act requires the filing of annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to a public company’s business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules subsequently adopted by the SEC and Nasdaq to implement provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, require, among other things, that a public company establish and maintain effective disclosure and financial controls. As a result, New Tempo will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that Tempo did not previously incur. New Tempo’s entire management team and many of its other employees will need to devote substantial time to compliance, and may not effectively or efficiently manage its transition into a public company.

Further, pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the SEC has adopted additional rules and regulations in these areas, such as mandatory “say on pay” voting requirements that will apply to New Tempo when New Tempo ceases to be an emerging growth company. Stockholder activism, the current political environment and the current high level of government intervention and regulatory reform may lead to substantial new regulations and disclosure obligations, which may lead to additional compliance costs and impact the manner in which New Tempo operates New Tempo’s business in ways New Tempo cannot currently anticipate.

98

New Tempo expects the rules and regulations applicable to public companies to substantially increase New Tempo’s legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly. If these requirements divert the attention of New Tempo’s management and personnel from other business concerns, they could have a material adverse effect on New Tempo’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The increased costs will decrease New Tempo’s net income or increase New Tempo’s net loss, and may require New Tempo to reduce costs in other areas of New Tempo’s business or increase the prices of New Tempo’s services. For example, New Tempo expects these rules and regulations to make it more difficult and more expensive for New Tempo to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and New Tempo may be required to incur substantial costs to maintain the same or similar coverage. New Tempo cannot predict or estimate the amount or timing of additional costs New Tempo may incur to respond to these requirements. The impact of these requirements could also make it more difficult for New Tempo to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on New Tempo’s board of directors, New Tempo’s board committees or as executive officers.

If New Tempo fails to maintain proper and effective internal controls over financial reporting, New Tempo’s ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired, investors may lose confidence in New Tempo’s financial reporting and the trading price of New Tempo’s common stock may decline.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, New Tempo will be a public reporting company subject to the rules and regulations established from time to time by the SEC and Nasdaq. These rules and regulations will require, among other things, that New Tempo establish and periodically evaluate procedures with respect to New Tempo’s internal control over financial reporting. Reporting obligations as a public company are likely to place a considerable strain on New Tempo’s financial and management systems, processes and controls, as well as on New Tempo’s personnel.

In addition, as a public company, New Tempo will be required to document and test New Tempo’s internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act so that New Tempo’s management can certify as to the effectiveness of New Tempo’s internal control over financial reporting. For additional information related to the risks and uncertainties of New Tempo’s compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, see “Risk Factors — Tempo’s internal controls over financial reporting currently do not meet all of the standards contemplated by Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), and failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could impair Tempo’s ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations and have a material adverse effect on Tempo’s business.”

Changes in accounting rules and regulations, or interpretations thereof, could result in unfavorable accounting charges or require New Tempo to change New Tempo’s compensation policies.

Accounting methods and policies for public companies are subject to review, interpretation and guidance from New Tempo’s independent registered accounting firm and relevant accounting authorities, including the SEC. Changes to accounting methods or policies, or interpretations thereof, may require New Tempo to reclassify, restate or otherwise change or revise New Tempo’s consolidated financial statements.

We are currently an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and to the extent we have taken advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies or smaller reporting companies, this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.

ACE is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended, or JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, New Tempo will be able to follow reduced disclosure requirements and will not have to make all of the disclosures that public companies that are not emerging growth companies do. New Tempo will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (a) the last day of the fiscal year in which New Tempo has total annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more; (b) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the completion of the initial public offering of ACE; (c) the date on which New Tempo has issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (d) the date on which New Tempo is deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC, which means the market value of New Tempo’s common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th. For so long as New Tempo remains an emerging growth company, New Tempo is permitted and intend to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These exemptions include:

● not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

99

● not being required to comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);

● reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in New Tempo’s periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements; and

● exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote of stockholders on executive compensation, stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved and having to disclose the ratio of the compensation of Tempo’s chief executive officer to the median compensation of Tempo’s employees.

In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. New Tempo has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards; and as a result of this election, New Tempo’s financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

New Tempo may choose to take advantage of some, but not all, of the available exemptions for emerging growth companies. New Tempo cannot predict whether investors will find New Tempo’s common stock less attractive if New Tempo relies on these exemptions. If some investors find New Tempo’s common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for New Tempo’s common stock and New Tempo’s share price may be more volatile.

New Tempo’s proposed certificate of incorporation will provide that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between New Tempo and New Tempo’s stockholders and that the federal district courts shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which could limit New Tempo’s stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with New Tempo or New Tempo’s directors, officers or employees.

New Tempo’s Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaws provide that, unless New Tempo consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the (a) Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, in the event that the Chancery Court does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action, suit or proceeding brought on New Tempo’s behalf; (ii) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any of New Tempo’s directors, officers, or stockholders to New Tempo or to New Tempo’s stockholders; (iii) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim arising pursuant to the DGCL, New Tempo’s Proposed Certificate of Incorporation or Proposed Bylaws; or (iv) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine; and (b) subject to the foregoing, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such forum selection provisions shall not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts of the United States have exclusive jurisdiction. The choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with New Tempo or New Tempo’s directors, officers, or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against New Tempo and New Tempo’s directors, officers, and other employees. Alternatively, if a court Tempore finds the choice of forum provision contained in New Tempo’s Proposed Certificate of Incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, New Tempo may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm New Tempo’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Additionally, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As noted above, New Tempo’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that the federal district courts of the United States of America shall have jurisdiction over any action arising under the Securities Act. Accordingly, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provision. New Tempo’s stockholders will not be deemed to have waived New Tempo’s compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Risks Related to the Consummation of the Domestication

The Domestication may result in adverse tax consequences for holders of ACE Class A ordinary shares and warrants.

U.S. Holders (as defined in “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” below) may be subject to U.S. federal income tax as a result of the Domestication. Because the Domestication will occur immediately prior to the redemption of ACE Class A ordinary shares, U.S. Holders exercising redemption rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of the Domestication. Additionally, non-U.S. Holders (as defined in “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” below) may become subject to withholding tax on any amounts treated as dividends paid on New Tempo common stock after the Domestication.

A U.S. Holder who on the day of the Domestication beneficially owns (actually or constructively) ACE Class A ordinary shares with a fair market value of less than $50,000 on the date of the Domestication will generally not recognize any gain or loss and will generally not be required to include any part of our earnings in income. A U.S. Holder who on the day of the Domestication beneficially owns (actually or constructively) ACE Class A ordinary shares with a fair market value of $50,000 or more, but less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of ACE stock entitled to vote and less than 10% or more of the total value of all classes of ACE stock, will generally recognize gain (but not loss) in respect of the Domestication as if such U.S. Holder exchanged its ACE Class A ordinary shares for New Tempo common stock in a taxable transaction, unless such U.S. Holder elects in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations to include in income as a deemed dividend the “all earnings and profits amount” (as defined in the Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code) attributable to the ACE Class A ordinary shares held directly by such U.S. Holder. A U.S. Holder who on the day of the Domestication beneficially owns (actually or constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of ACE stock entitled to vote or 10% or more of the total value of all classes of ACE stock, will generally be required to include in income as a deemed dividend the “all earnings and profits amount” (as defined in the Treasury Regulations) attributable to the ACE Class A ordinary shares held directly by such U.S. Holder.

Additionally, proposed Treasury Regulations with a retroactive effective date have been promulgated under Section 1291(f) of the Code, which generally require that a U.S. person who disposes of stock of a PFIC (including for this purpose exchanging warrants for newly issued warrants in the Domestication) must recognize gain equal to the excess of the fair market value of such PFIC stock over its adjusted tax basis, notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. Because we are a blank check company with no current active business, we believe that it is likely that ACE is classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, these proposed Treasury Regulations, if finalized in their current form, would generally require a U.S. Holder of ACE Class A ordinary shares to recognize gain on the exchange of ACE Class A ordinary shares for New Tempo common stock pursuant to the Domestication unless such U.S. Holder has made certain tax elections with respect to such U.S. Holder’s ACE Class A ordinary shares. Proposed Treasury Regulations, if finalized in their current form would also apply to a U.S. Holder who exchanges ACE warrants for newly issued New Tempo warrants; currently, however, the election mentioned above does not apply to ACE warrants (for discussion regarding the unclear application of the PFIC rules to ACE warrants, see “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — PFIC Considerations”). Any gain recognized from the application of the PFIC rules described above would be taxable income with no corresponding receipt of cash. The tax on any such gain would be imposed at the rate applicable to ordinary income and an interest charge would apply based on complex rules designed to offset the tax deferral to such U.S. Holder on the undistributed earnings, if any, of ACE. It is not possible to determine at this time whether, in what form, and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code may be adopted or how any such Treasury Regulations would apply.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the rights of holders of New Tempo common stock arising under the DGCL as well as Proposed Organizational Documents will differ from and may be less favorable to the rights of holders of ACE Class A ordinary shares arising under the Cayman Islands Companies Act as well as our current amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the rights of holders of New Tempo common stock will arise under the Proposed Organizational Documents as well as the DGCL. Those new organizational documents and the DGCL contain provisions that differ in some respects from those in our current amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the Cayman Islands Companies Act and, therefore, some rights of holders of New Tempo common stock could differ from the rights that holders of ACE Class A ordinary shares currently possess. For instance, while class actions are generally not available to shareholders under Cayman Islands Companies Act, such actions are generally available under the DGCL. This change could increase the likelihood that New Tempo becomes involved in costly litigation, which could have a material adverse effect on New Tempo.

In addition, there are differences between the new organizational documents of New Tempo and the current constitutional documents of ACE. For a more detailed description of the rights of holders of New Tempo common stock and how they may differ

101

from the rights of holders of ACE Class A ordinary shares, please see “Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights.” The forms of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws of New Tempo are attached as Annex H and Annex I, respectively, to this proxy statement/prospectus and we urge you to read them.

Delaware law and New Tempo’s Proposed Organizational Documents contain certain provisions, including anti-takeover provisions that limit the ability of stockholders to take certain actions and could delay or discourage takeover attempts that stockholders may consider favorable.

The Proposed Organizational Documents that will be in effect upon consummation of the Business Combination, and the DGCL, contain provisions that could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, or preventing an acquisition that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock, and therefore depress the trading price of New Tempo common stock. These provisions could also make it difficult for stockholders to take certain actions, including electing directors who are not nominated by the current members of New Tempo’s board of directors or taking other corporate actions, including effecting changes in our management. Among other things, the Proposed Organizational Documents include provisions regarding:

● providing for a classified board of directors with staggered, three-year terms;

● the ability of New Tempo’s board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock, including “blank check” preferred stock and to determine the terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer;

● the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates;

● the limitation of the liability of, and the indemnification of, New Tempo’s directors and officers;

● the ability of New Tempo’s board of directors to amend the bylaws, which may allow New Tempo’s board of directors to take additional actions to prevent an unsolicited takeover and inhibit the ability of an acquirer to amend the bylaws to facilitate an unsolicited takeover attempt; and

● advance notice procedures with which stockholders must comply to nominate candidates to New Tempo’s board of directors or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting, which could preclude stockholders from bringing matters before annual or special meetings of stockholders and delay changes in New Tempo’s board of directors and also may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of New Tempo.

These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in New Tempo’s board of directors or management.

Risks if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, and an insufficient number of votes have been obtained to authorize the consummation of the Business Combination, our board of directors will not have the ability to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date in order to solicit further votes, and, therefore, the Business Combination will not be approved, and, therefore, the Business Combination may not be consummated.

Our board of directors is seeking approval to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates if, at the extraordinary general meeting, based upon the tabulated votes, there are insufficient votes to approve each of the Condition Precedent Proposals. If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, our board of directors will not have the ability to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date and, therefore, will not have more time to solicit votes to approve the Condition Precedent Proposals. In such events, the Business Combination would not be completed.

102

Risks if the Domestication and the Business Combination are not Consummated

If we are not able to complete the Business Combination with Tempo by October 13, 2022 nor able to complete another business combination by such date, in each case, as such date may be further extended pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, we would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and we would redeem our Class A ordinary shares and liquidate the trust account, in which case our public shareholders may only receive approximately $10.17 per share based on trust account figures as of June 30, 2022, and our warrants will expire worthless.

Our ability to complete our initial business combination may be negatively impacted by general market conditions, volatility in the capital and debt markets and the other risks described herein. For example, the outbreak of COVID-19 continues to grow in the U.S. and, while the extent of the impact of the outbreak on ACE will depend on future developments, it could limit our ability to complete our initial business combination, including as a result of increased market volatility, decreased market liquidity and third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to us or at all. Additionally, the outbreak of the COVID-19 may negatively impact New Tempo’s business following the Business Combination.

If ACE is not able to complete the Business Combination with Tempo by October 13, 2022, nor able to complete another business combination by such date, in each case, as such date may be extended pursuant to ACE’s Cayman Constitutional Documents ACE will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of ACE’s remaining shareholders and its board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such case, our public shareholders may only receive approximately $10.17 per share based on trust account figures as of June 30, 2022, and our warrants will expire worthless.

You will not have any rights or interests in funds from the trust account, except under certain limited circumstances. To liquidate your investment, therefore, you may be forced to sell your public shares and/or public warrants, potentially at a loss.

Our public shareholders will be entitled to receive funds from the trust account only upon the earliest to occur of (1) our completion of an initial business combination (including the Closing), and then only in connection with those public shares that such public shareholder properly elected to redeem, subject to certain limitations; (2) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Cayman Constitutional Documents to (A) modify the substance and timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if we do not complete a business combination by October 13, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity; and (3) the redemption of the public shares if we have not completed an initial business combination by October 13, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), subject to applicable law. In no other circumstances will a shareholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account. Holders of public warrants will not have any right to the proceeds held in the trust account with respect to the public warrants. Accordingly, to liquidate your investment, you may be forced to sell your public shares and/or public warrants, potentially at a loss.

If we have not completed our initial business combination or validly extended beyond the combination deadline, our public shareholders may be forced to wait until after October 13, 2022 before redemption from the trust account.

If we have not completed our initial business combination by October 13, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), we will distribute the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account (less up to $100,000 of the net interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), pro rata to our public shareholders by way of redemption and cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up of our affairs, as further described in this proxy statement/prospectus. Any redemption of public shareholders from the trust account shall be affected automatically by function of the Cayman Constitutional Documents prior to any voluntary winding up. If we are required to wind-up, liquidate the trust account and distribute such amount therein, pro rata, to our public shareholders, as part of any liquidation process, such winding up, liquidation and distribution must comply with the applicable provisions of the Cayman Islands Companies Act. In that case, investors may be forced to wait beyond October 13, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), before the redemption proceeds of the trust account become available to them, and they receive the return of their

103

pro rata portion of the proceeds from the trust account. We have no obligation to return funds to investors prior to the date of our redemption or liquidation unless, prior thereto, we consummate our initial business combination or amend certain provisions of our Cayman Constitutional Documents and only then in cases where investors have properly sought to redeem their public shares. Only upon our redemption or any liquidation will public shareholders be entitled to distributions if we have not completed our initial business combination within the required time period and do not amend certain provisions of our Cayman Constitutional Documents prior thereto.

If the net proceeds of our initial public offering not being held in the trust account are insufficient to allow us to operate through to October 13, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date) and we are unable to obtain additional capital, we may be unable to complete our initial business combination, in which case our public shareholders may only receive $10.17 per share based on trust account figures as of June 30, 2022, and our warrants will expire worthless.

As of June 30, 2022, ACE had no cash held outside the trust account. Any cash held outside the trust account would be available for use by us to cover the costs associated with identifying a target business and negotiating a business combination and other general corporate uses. Additionally, under the Working Capital Facility with ASIA- IO, ACE may access up to an aggregate amount of $1,500,000 to finance transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination, $900,000 of which was deposited by ACE as part of the agreement. Any outstanding amounts deposited with ASIA-IO upon the completion of a Business Combination or dissolution of ACE, will be returned to ACE. In November 2020, the deposit amount was reduced by $850,000. As of June 30, 2022, ACE had $829,295 of borrowings under the Working Capital Facility.

Any funds available to us outside of the trust account may not be sufficient to allow us to operate until October 13, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), assuming that our initial business combination is not completed during that time. Of the funds available to us, we could use a portion of the funds available to us to pay fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business. We could also use a portion of the funds as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision (a provision in letters of intent designed to keep target businesses from “shopping” around for transactions with other companies on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed business combination, although we do not have any current intention to do so. If we entered into a letter of intent where we paid for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business and were subsequently required to forfeit such funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise), we might not have sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conduct due diligence with respect to, a target business.

If we are required to seek additional capital, we would need to borrow funds from Sponsor, members of our management team or other third parties to operate or may be forced to liquidate. Neither the members of our management team nor any of their affiliates are under any further obligation to advance funds to ACE in such circumstances. Any such advances would be repaid only from funds held outside the trust account or from funds released to us upon completion of our initial business combination. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may be unable to complete our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the trust account. Consequently, our public shareholders may only receive approximately $10.17 per share (based on trust account figures as of June 30, 2022) on our redemption of the public shares and the public warrants will expire worthless.

General Risk Factors

New Tempo may be subject to securities litigation, which is expensive and could divert management attention.

The market price of New Tempo’s common stock may be volatile and, in the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. New Tempo may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against New Tempo could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm its business.

If analysts do not publish research about New Tempo’s business or if they publish inaccurate or unfavorable research, New Tempo’s stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for the common stock of New Tempo will depend in part on the research and reports that analysts publish about its business. Tempo does not have any control over these analysts. If one or more of the analysts who cover New Tempo downgrade its common stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about its business, the price of its common stock would likely decline. If few analysts cover New Tempo, demand for its common stock could decrease and its common stock price and

104

trading volume may decline. Similar results may occur if one or more of these analysts stop covering New Tempo in the future or fail to publish reports on it regularly.

Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.

On April 12, 2021, the Acting Director of the Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the SEC together issued a statement regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Statement”). Specifically, the SEC Statement focused on certain settlement terms and provisions related to certain tender offers following a business combination, which terms are similar to those contained in the Warrant Agreement governing our warrants. As a result of the SEC Statement, we reevaluated the accounting treatment of our 11,500,000 public warrants and 6,600,000 private placement warrants, and determined to classify the warrants as derivative liabilities measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings.

As a result, included on our financial statements contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus are derivative liabilities related to embedded features contained within our warrants. Accounting Standards Codification 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), provides for the remeasurement of the fair value of such derivatives at each balance sheet date, with a resulting non-cash gain or loss related to the change in the fair value being recognized in earnings in the statement of operations. As a result of the recurring fair value measurement, our financial statements and results of operations may fluctuate quarterly, based on factors which are outside of our control. Due to the recurring fair value measurement, we expect that we will recognize non-cash gains or losses on our warrants each reporting period and that the amount of such gains or losses could be material.

We identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2022. If we are unable to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

Following this issuance of the SEC Statement, on May 4, 2021, our management and our audit committee concluded that, in light of the SEC Statement, it was appropriate to restate our previously issued audited financial statements as of and for the period ended December 31, 2020 (the “Restatement”). See “— Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.” As part of such process, we identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting.

Additionally, 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 as of March 31, 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, due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to ACE’s accounting for complex financial instruments. Historically, a portion of our public shares were classified as permanent equity to maintain shareholders’ equity greater than $5 million on the basis that we will not redeem the public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001, as described in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. Pursuant to our re-evaluation of the application of ASC 480-10-S99-3A to our accounting classification of our redeemable Class A ordinary shares, our management determined that the public shares include certain provisions that require classification of all of the public shares as temporary equity regardless of the net tangible assets redemption limitation contained in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. In addition, in connection with the change in presentation for the public shares, we determined we should restate our earnings per share calculation to allocate income and losses shared pro rata between the two classes of ordinary shares. This presentation contemplates a business combination as the most likely outcome, in which case, both classes of ordinary shares share pro rata in the income and losses of ACE. In connection with this material weakness, our management and our audit committee concluded that certain previously issued unaudited interim financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, should be restated. We also provided updated financial information for the period ended September 30, 2021, in a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A filed on December 13, 2021. Additionally, management and our audit committee concluded the previously issued audited financial statements as of December 31, 2020, should be restated, which was filed in an Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, filed on December 13, 2021.

105

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a 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 consuming 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 compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and our stock price may decline as a result. We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, or any measures we may take in the future, will be sufficient to avoid potential future material weaknesses.

We may face litigation and other risks as a result of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

Following the issuance of the SEC Statement, our management and our audit committee concluded that it was appropriate to restate our previously issued audited financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the period ended December 31, 2020. See “— Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.” As part of the Restatement, we identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting.

Additionally, as described above, in connection with the material weakness related to ACE’s accounting for complex financial instruments, our management and our audit committee concluded that certain previously issued unaudited interim financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, should be restated. ACE also provided updated financial information for the period ended September 30, 2021, in a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A filed on December 13, 2021. Additionally, management and our audit committee concluded the previously issued audited financial statements as of December 31, 2020, should be restated, which was filed in an Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, filed on December 13, 2021.

As a result of such material weaknesses, the restatements, the change in accounting for the warrants, the classification of all of the public shares as temporary equity, and other matters raised or that may in the future be raised by the SEC, we face potential for litigation or other disputes which may include, among others, claims invoking the federal and state securities laws, contractual claims or other claims arising from the restatements and material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we have no knowledge of any such litigation or dispute. However, we can provide no assurance that such litigation or dispute will not arise in the future. Any such litigation or dispute, whether successful or not, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition or our ability to complete a Business Combination.

We face risks and uncertainties related to litigation, regulatory actions and government investigations and inquiries.

We are subject to, and may become a party to, a variety of litigation, other claims, suits, regulatory actions and government investigations and inquiries. For example, on January 7, 2021, ACE entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Terminated Merger Agreement”) with Achronix Semiconductor Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Achronix”), and Merger Sub. In May 2021, the SEC informed ACE that it was investigating certain disclosures made in ACE’s Form S-4, originally filed with the SEC on February 10, 2021 (as amended from time to time, the “Achronix Form S-4”). On July 11, 2021, ACE and Achronix terminated the Terminated Merger Agreement in a mutual decision not to pursue the transactions contemplated thereby. On July 13, 2021, ACE withdrew the registration statement on Achronix Form S-4. On October 27, 2021, ACE received a letter from the SEC in connection with its investigation with the following response: “We have concluded the investigation as to ACE Convergence Acquisition Corp. (“ACE”). Based on the information we have as of this date, we do not intend to recommend an enforcement action by the Commission against ACE.”

106

In addition, from time to time, we may also be involved in legal proceedings and investigations arising in the ordinary course of business, including those relating to employment matters, relationships with collaboration partners, intellectual property disputes, and other business matters. Any such claims or investigations may be time-consuming, costly, divert management resources, or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations.

The results of litigation and other legal proceedings are inherently uncertain and adverse judgments or settlements in some or all of these legal disputes may result in materially adverse monetary damages or injunctive relief against us. Any claims or litigation, even if fully indemnified or insured, could damage our reputation and make it more difficult to compete effectively or obtain adequate insurance in the future.

107

This proxy statement/prospectus is first being furnished to our shareholders on or about         , 2022 in connection with the vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus. This proxy statement/prospectus provides our shareholders with information they need to know to be able to vote or instruct their vote to be cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

Date, Time and Place

Purpose of the ACE Extraordinary General Meeting

At the extraordinary general meeting, ACE is asking holders of ordinary shares to:

● consider and vote upon a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution and adopt the Merger Agreement attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annexes A-1 and A-2, pursuant to which, among other things, following the Domestication of ACE to Delaware, the Merger of Merger Sub with and into Tempo, with Tempo surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Tempo in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement as more fully described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus (the “Business Combination Proposal”);

● consider and vote upon a proposal to approve by special resolution, assuming the Business Combination Proposal is approved and adopted, the change of ACE’s jurisdiction of incorporation by deregistering as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and continuing and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication Proposal”);

● consider and vote upon the following four separate proposals (collectively, the “Organizational Documents Proposals”) to approve by special resolution, assuming the Business Combination Proposal and the Domestication Proposal are approved and adopted, the following material differences between the Cayman Constitutional Documents and the Proposed Organizational Documents, each to be effective upon the Domestication:

● to authorize the change in the authorized capital stock of ACE from 500,000,000 ACE Class A ordinary shares, 50,000,000 ACE Class B ordinary shares, and 5,000,000 ACE preferred shares, to 600,000,000 shares of New Tempo common stock and 20,000,000 shares of New Tempo preferred stock (“Organizational Documents Proposal A”);

● to authorize the board of directors of New Tempo (the “Board”) to issue any or all shares of New Tempo preferred stock in one or more classes or series, with such terms and conditions as may be expressly determined by the Board and as may be permitted by the DGCL (“Organizational Documents Proposal B”);

● to provide that the Board be divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term (“Organizational Documents Proposal C”);

● to authorize all other changes in connection with the replacement of Cayman Constitutional Documents with the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaws in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination (copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex H and Annex I, respectively), including (1) changing the corporate name from “ACE Convergence Acquisition Corp.” to “Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc.,” (2) adopting Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation, (3) removing certain provisions related to ACE’s status as a blank check company that will no longer be applicable upon consummation of the Business Combination, all of which ACE’s board of directors believes is necessary to adequately address the needs of New Tempo after the Business Combination, (4) providing that no action shall be taken by stockholders of New Tempo, except at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, (5) removing limitations on the corporate opportunity doctrine,

108

(6) requiring the approval of the holders of 662∕3% of the then-outstanding capital stock of New Tempo to amend specified provisions of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, and (7) requiring the approval of the Board or the holders of 662∕3% of the then-outstanding capital stock of New Tempo to amend the Proposed Bylaws (“Organizational Documents Proposal D”);

● consider and vote upon a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution, to elect directors who, upon consummation of the Business Combination, will be the directors of New Tempo (the “Director Election Proposal”), to be effective as of the Closing;

● consider and vote upon a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution for purposes of complying with the applicable provisions of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635, the issuance of New Tempo common stock to (a) the PIPE Investors pursuant to the PIPE Investment and (b) the Tempo Stockholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the “Stock Issuance Proposal”), to be effective prior to or substantially concurrently with the Closing;

● consider and vote upon a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution, the Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc. 2022 Incentive Award Plan (the “Incentive Award Plan Proposal” and collectively with the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposals and the Stock Issuance Proposal, the “Condition Precedent Proposals”) in the form attached hereto as Annex J, to be effective prior to the Closing Date;

● consider and vote upon a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution, the adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for the approval of one or more proposals at the extraordinary general meeting (the “Adjournment Proposal”), to be effective as of the date of the extraordinary general meeting.

Each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Recommendation of ACE Board of Directors

ACE’s board of directors believes that the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting are in the best interest of ACE’s shareholders and recommends that its shareholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Domestication Proposal, “FOR” each of the separate Organizational Documents Proposals, “FOR” the Director Election Proposal, “FOR” the Stock Issuance Proposal, “FOR” the Incentive Award Plan Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented to the extraordinary general meeting.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of ACE’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of ACE and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, ACE’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section titled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of ACE’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Record Date; Who is Entitled to Vote

ACE shareholders will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the extraordinary general meeting if they owned ordinary shares at the close of business on       , 2022, which is the “record date” for the extraordinary general meeting. Shareholders will have one vote for each ordinary share owned at the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. ACE warrants do not have voting rights. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 9,695,298 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, of which 3,945,298 were issued and outstanding public shares.

The Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, subject to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Sponsor Support Agreement, and waive their redemption rights in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination with respect to any founder shares and ordinary shares held by them, subject to the terms and conditions contemplated in the letter agreement, dated as of July 27, 2020. As of the date of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, and

109

due to (i) the redemption of 14,797,723 public shares in January 2022 and (ii) the redemption of 4,256,979 public shares in connection with the shareholder vote in July 2022, in each case in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the extension of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination, the Sponsor (including ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees) owns 59.31% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares. If ACE is not able to complete the Business Combination with Tempo or another business combination by October 13, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), then the Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold.

Quorum

A quorum of ACE shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the extraordinary general meeting if the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting are represented in person or by proxy. While ACE shareholders will be permitted to observe the proceedings of the extraordinary general meeting virtually via live webcast, such shareholders will not be able to vote via live webcast, and such virtual participation will not be counted for the purposes of establishing a quorum. As of the record date for the extraordinary general meeting, 6,976,139 ordinary shares would be required to achieve a quorum.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Proxies that are marked “abstain” and proxies relating to “street name” shares that are returned to ACE but marked by brokers as “not voted” will be treated as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum on all matters, but they will not be treated as shares voted on the matter. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank, or nominee. We believe all the proposals presented to the shareholders will be considered non-discretionary and therefore your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction.

Vote Required for Approval

The Business Combination Proposal may be approved by an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

The approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Domestication Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal. Therefore, if the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Domestication Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of ordinary shares.

The approval of each of the Organizational Documents Proposals requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Each of the Organizational Documents Proposals is conditioned on the approval of the Domestication Proposal, and, therefore, also conditioned on approval of the Business Combination Proposal. Therefore, if the Business Combination Proposal and the Domestication Proposal are not approved, Organizational Documents Proposal A will have no effect, even if approved by holders of ordinary shares.

The Director Election Proposal may be approved by an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Director Election Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Organizational Documents Proposals, and, therefore, also conditioned on approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Domestication Proposal. Therefore, if the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposals are not approved, the Director Election Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of ordinary shares.

The Stock Issuance Proposal may be approved by an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Stock Issuance Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Director Election Proposal, and, therefore, also

110

conditioned on approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposals. Therefore, if the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposals and the Director Election Proposal are not approved, the Stock Issuance Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of ordinary shares.

The Incentive Award Plan Proposal may be approved by an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Incentive Award Plan Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal, and, therefore, also conditioned on approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposals and the Director Election Proposal. Therefore, if the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposals, the Director Election Proposal and the Stock Issuance Proposal are not approved, the Incentive Award Plan Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of ordinary shares.

The Adjournment Proposal may be approved by an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon any other proposal.

Voting Your Shares

Each ACE ordinary share that you own in your name entitles you to one vote. Your proxy card shows the number of ordinary shares that you own. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

There are two ways to vote your ordinary shares at the extraordinary general meeting:

● You can vote by signing and returning the enclosed proxy card. If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares will be voted as recommended by ACE’s board “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Domestication Proposal, “FOR” each of the separate Organizational Documents Proposals, “FOR” the Director Election Proposal, “FOR” the Incentive Award Plan Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented to the extraordinary general meeting. Votes received after a matter has been voted upon at the extraordinary general meeting will not be counted.

● You can attend the extraordinary general meeting and vote in person. You will receive a ballot when you arrive. However, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or another nominee, you must get a valid legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way ACE can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you are an ACE shareholder and you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

● you may send another proxy card with a later date;

● you may notify ACE’s Secretary in writing before the extraordinary general meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

● you may attend the extraordinary general meeting, revoke your proxy, and vote in person, as indicated above.

Who Can Answer Your Questions About Voting Your Shares

If you are a shareholder and have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your ordinary shares, you may call Morrow Sodali LLC, ACE’s proxy solicitor, by calling (800) 662-5200 or banks and brokers can call collect at (203) 658-9400, or by emailing ACEV.info@investor.morrowsodali.com.

111

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, a public shareholder may request of ACE that New Tempo redeem all or a portion of its public shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. As a holder of public shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

● (a) hold public shares, or (b) if you hold public shares through units, you elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares;

● submit a written request to Continental, ACE’s transfer agent, that New Tempo redeem all or a portion of your public shares for cash; and

● deliver your public shares to Continental, ACE’s transfer agent, electronically through DTC.

Holders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their public shares in the manner described above prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on         , 2022 (two business days before the extraordinary general meeting) in order for their shares to be redeemed.

No demands for redemption in connection with the business combination proposal described in the registration statement on Form S-4 that was declared effective on April 18, 2022, have been received by Continental on behalf of ACE. All demands for redemption made in connection with the January 2022 and July 2022 shareholder votes to extend the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination have been completed, and such shares have been redeemed.

Therefore, the election to exercise redemption rights occurs prior to the Domestication and the redemption is with respect to the New Tempo public shares that an electing public shareholder holds after the Domestication. For the purposes of Article 65 of ACE’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the Cayman Islands Companies Act, the exercise of redemption rights shall be treated as an election to have such public shares repurchased for cash and references in this proxy statement/prospectus to “redemption” or “redeeming” shall be interpreted accordingly. Immediately following the Domestication and the consummation of the Business Combination, New Tempo shall satisfy the exercise of redemption rights by redeeming the corresponding 3,945,298 public shares issued to the public shareholders that validly exercised their redemption rights.

Holders of units must elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact Continental, ACE’s transfer agent, directly and instruct them to do so. Public shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of the public shares held by them, regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the Business Combination Proposal.

If the Business Combination is not consummated, the public shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank. If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a public shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the public shares that it holds and timely delivers its shares to Continental, ACE’s transfer agent, New Tempo will redeem such public shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, as of June 30, 2022, this would have amounted to approximately $10.17 per issued and outstanding public share. If a public shareholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its public shares for cash and will no longer own public shares. The redemption will take place following the Domestication and, accordingly, it is shares of New Tempo common stock that will be redeemed immediately after consummation of the Business Combination.

If you hold the shares in “street name,” you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. New Tempo public shares that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through DTC’s DWAC (deposit withdrawal at custodian) system. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $80 and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder. In the event the proposed business combination is not consummated this may result in an additional cost to shareholders for the return of their shares.

112

Any request for redemption, once made by a holder of public shares, may be withdrawn at any time up to the time the vote is taken with respect to the Business Combination Proposal at the extraordinary general meeting. If you deliver your shares for redemption to Continental, ACE’s transfer agent, and later decide prior to the extraordinary general meeting not to elect redemption, you may request that ACE’s transfer agent return the shares (electronically) to you. You may make such request by contacting Continental, ACE’s transfer agent, at the phone number or address listed at the end of this section.

Any corrected or changed written exercise of redemption rights must be received by Continental, ACE’s transfer agent, prior to the vote taken on the Business Combination Proposal at the extraordinary general meeting. No request for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s public shares have been delivered (electronically) to Continental, ACE’s agent, at least two business days prior to the vote at the extraordinary general meeting. No demands for redemption in connection with the business combination proposal described in the registration statement on Form S-4 that was declared effective on April 18, 2022, have been received by Continental on behalf of ACE. All demands for redemption made in connection with the January 2022 and July 2022 shareholder votes to extend the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination have been completed, and such shares have been redeemed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such public shareholder or any other person with whom such public shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the public shares without the prior consent of ACE. Accordingly, if a public shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash without the prior consent of ACE.

The Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, subject to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Sponsor Support Agreement, and waive their redemption rights in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination with respect to any founder shares and ordinary shares held by them. As of the date of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, and due to (i) the redemption of 14,797,723 public shares in January 2022 and (ii) the redemption of 4,256,979 public shares in connection with the shareholder vote in July 2022, in each case in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the extension of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination, the Sponsor (including ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees) owns 59.31% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares.

If ACE is not able to complete the Business Combination with Tempo or another business combination by October 13, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), then the Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold.

Holders of the warrants will not have redemption rights with respect to the warrants.

The closing price of the public shares on August 31, 2022, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, was $10.20. As of June 30, 2022, funds in the trust account totaled approximately $83.4 million in cash. Prior to June 2022, the funds in the trust account were comprised entirely of U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or of money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, or approximately $10.17 per issued and outstanding public share (based on the number of public shares outstanding as of June 30, 2022).

With respect to the regulation of special purpose acquisition companies like ACE (“SPACs”), on March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules (the “SPAC Rule Proposals”) relating to, among other items, disclosures in business combination transactions involving SPACs and private operating companies; the condensed financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; the use of projections by SPACs in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination transactions; the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, including a proposed rule that would provide SPACs a safe harbor from treatment as an investment company if they satisfy certain conditions that limit a SPAC’s duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities.

With regard to the SEC’s investment company proposals included in the SPAC Rule Proposals, while the funds in the trust account have, since ACE’s initial public offering, been held only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasuries, to mitigate the risk of being viewed as operating an unregistered investment company (including pursuant to the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940), on June

113

22, 2022, ACE instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee managing the trust account, to hold all funds in the trust account in cash until the earlier of consummation of the Business Combination and liquidation of ACE.

Prior to exercising redemption rights, public shareholders should verify the market price of the public shares as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their public shares in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. ACE cannot assure its shareholders that they will be able to sell their public shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when its shareholders wish to sell their shares.

Appraisal Rights

Neither ACE’s shareholders nor ACE’s warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Domestication under the Cayman Islands Companies Act or under the DGCL.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

ACE is soliciting proxies on behalf of its board of directors. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. ACE and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means. ACE will bear the cost of the solicitation.

ACE has hired Morrow Sodali LLC to assist in the proxy solicitation process. ACE will pay that firm a fee of $25,000 plus disbursements. Such fee will be paid with non-trust account funds.

ACE will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. ACE will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

ACE Initial Shareholders

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are 9,695,298 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, which include the 5,750,000 ACE Class B ordinary shares held by the Sponsor and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees, and the 3,945,298 public shares. In addition, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there is outstanding an aggregate of 18,100,000 warrants to acquire ordinary shares, which includes the 6,600,000 private placement warrants held by the Sponsor and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees, and the 11,500,000 public warrants.

Subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material nonpublic information), the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may (i) purchase public shares from institutional and other investors (including those who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the Condition Precedent Proposals, or elect to redeem, or indicate an intention to redeem, public shares), (ii) enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives not redeem their public shares, or (iii) execute agreements to purchase such public shares from such investors or enter into non-redemption agreements in the future. In the event that the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates purchase public shares in situations in which the tender offer rules restrictions on purchases would apply, they (a) would purchase the public shares at a price no higher than the price offered through the ACE redemption process (i.e., approximately $10.17 per share based on trust account figures as of June 30, 2022); (b) would represent in writing that such public shares will not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination; and (c) would waive in writing any redemption rights with respect to the public shares so purchased.

To the extent any such purchases are made by the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates in situations in which the tender offer rules and restrictions on purchases apply, ACE will disclose in a Current Report on Form 8-K prior to the extraordinary general meeting the following: (i) the number of ACE public shares purchased outside of the redemption offer, along with the purchase price(s) for such public shares; (ii) the purpose of any such purchases; (iii) the impact, if any, of the purchases on the likelihood that the Business Combination Proposal will be approved; (iv) the identities of the ACE securityholders who sold to the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of the securityholders (e.g., 5% security holders) who sold such public shares; and (v) the number of ordinary shares for which ACE has received redemption requests pursuant to its redemption offer.

114

The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of (x) satisfaction of the Minimum Cash Condition, (y) otherwise limiting the number of public shares electing to redeem and (z) ACE’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) being at least $5,000,001. A purchase of warrants by the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may have the effect of increasing share ownership of Tempo on a fully diluted basis.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Consistent with SEC guidance, purchases of shares by the persons described above would not be permitted to be voted for the Business Combination at the extraordinary general meeting and could decrease the chances that the Business Combination would be approved. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our securities and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.

115

BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL

ACE is asking its shareholders to approve by ordinary resolution and adopt the Merger Agreement. ACE shareholders should read carefully this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Merger Agreement, copies of which are attached as Annexes A-1 and A-2 to this proxy statement/prospectus. Please see the subsection titled “The Merger Agreement” below for additional information and a summary of certain terms of the Merger Agreement. You are urged to read carefully the Merger Agreement in its entirety before voting on this proposal.

Because ACE is holding a shareholder vote on the Merger, ACE may consummate the Merger only if it is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of ordinary shares that are voted at the extraordinary general meeting.

The Merger Agreement

This subsection of the proxy statement/prospectus describes the material provisions of the Merger Agreement, but does not purport to describe all of the terms of the Merger Agreement. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Merger Agreement, copies of which are attached as Annexes A-1 and A-2 to this proxy statement/prospectus. You are urged to read the Merger Agreement in its entirety because it is the primary legal document that governs the Merger.

The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties, and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Merger Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the Merger Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement are also modified in part by the underlying disclosure letters (the “disclosure letters”), which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to shareholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. We do not believe that the disclosure letters contain information that is material to an investment decision. Additionally, the representations and warranties of the parties to the Merger Agreement may or may not have been accurate as of any specific date and do not purport to be accurate as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Accordingly, no person should rely on the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement or the summaries thereof in this proxy statement/prospectus as characterizations of the actual state of facts about ACE, Tempo, or any other matter.

Structure of the Merger

On August 12, 2022, ACE entered into the Merger Agreement with Merger Sub and Tempo, pursuant to which, among other things, following the Domestication, (i) Merger Sub will merge with and into Tempo, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and Tempo will be the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of ACE and (ii) ACE will change its name to Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc.

Prior to and as a condition of the Merger, pursuant to the Domestication, ACE will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by effecting a deregistration under the Cayman Islands Companies Act and a domestication under Section 388 of the DGCL, pursuant to which ACE’s jurisdiction of incorporation will be changed from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware. For more information, see “The Domestication Proposal.”

Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each share of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock, the Series C Preferred Stock and the Series C-1 Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Tempo Preferred Stock”) will convert into one share of Tempo common stock (together with the Tempo Preferred Stock, the “Tempo Capital Stock”) (such conversion, the “Tempo Preferred Conversion”).

Consideration

Aggregate Merger Consideration

As a result of and upon the Closing, among other things, all outstanding shares of Tempo common stock (after giving effect to the Tempo Preferred Conversion, as described above) as of immediately prior to the Closing, and, together with shares of Tempo common stock reserved in respect of Tempo Options outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing that will be converted into awards based on New Tempo common stock, will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, or the reservation of (in the case of the

116

Tempo Options, if and to the extent earned and subject to their respective terms), an aggregate of approximately 25,792,701 shares of New Tempo common stock (at a deemed value of $10.00 per share) equal to the remainder of (a) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Base Purchase Price by (ii) $10.00, including, as applicable, a number of Tempo Earnout Shares (the “Aggregate Merger Consideration”). Additionally, Tempo has undertaken to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the holder of each outstanding and unexercised Tempo warrants to exercise such Tempo warrant in exchange for shares of Tempo common stock immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger. Holders of Tempo warrants may elect not to exercise such Tempo warrants in exchange for shares of Tempo common stock prior to the effective time of the Merger. Any Tempo warrants that remain issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into warrants to purchase shares of New Tempo common stock on substantially similar terms to the Tempo warrants.

An additional 550,000 shares of New Tempo common stock are expected to be purchased (at a price of $10.00 per share) at the Closing by the PIPE Investors pursuant to the Third A&R PIPE Common Stock Subscription Agreements for a total aggregate purchase price of up to $5.5 million (the “PIPE Investment”). Certain investors originally subscribed for $25.0 million of ACE’s 12.0% convertible senior notes due 2025, but such subscription was terminated in January 2022 in connection with the subscription by Tor Asia and OCM for $200.0 million of 15.5% convertible senior notes, which subscription was terminated in July 2022. On September 4, 2022, Tempo, ACE, OCM and Oaktree entered into the Oaktree Termination Letter pursuant to which the termination fee in connection with the Oaktree Subscription Agreement was reduced from 3.5% of the aggregate principal amount of the subscribed notes (approximately $7.0 million) to 0.6% of the aggregate principal amount of the subscribed notes (approximately $1.1 million) if the closing of the Business Combination occurs on or before October 15, 2022, to be paid on the earlier of (i) six months after the Closing and (ii) the date on which either ACE or Tempo commence bankruptcy proceedings. In addition to the Reduced Termination Fee, ACE and Tempo are required to pay approximately $1.2 million in fees and expenses to OCM on the earlier of (x) immediately following the Closing and (y) the Outside Business Combination Date. The Reduced Termination Fee and all other fees and expenses owed to OCM under the Oaktree Termination Letter will accrue interest at a rate of 20% per year, compounding monthly, starting on October 15, 2022. The Oaktree Termination Letter states that if the Business Combination has not been consummated prior to October 15, 2022, on the earliest of (I) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated, (II) the date on which either ACE or Tempo commence bankruptcy proceedings and (III) June 15, 2023, ACE and Tempo will pay OCM the full 3.5% termination fee and all of its accrued and unpaid fees and expenses. To the extent the termination fee and accrued and unpaid fees and expenses are not paid on or prior to June 15, 2023, the unpaid portion of the termination fee (together with all other unpaid fees and expenses) will accrue interest at a rate of 20% per year, compounding monthly, starting on October 15, 2022.

On September 7, 2022, ACE and Tempo entered into the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, to increase the Base Purchase Price from $235,000,000 to $257,927,013.

Treatment of Tempo Options

As a result of and upon the Closing (as defined below), among other things, all options to purchase shares of Tempo common stock (“Tempo Options”) will be converted into (i) options to purchase shares of New Tempo common stock (“New Tempo Options”) and (ii) the right to receive a number of Tempo Earnout Shares.

Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each New Tempo Option will relate to the number of whole shares of New Tempo common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the number of shares of Tempo common stock subject to the applicable Tempo Option multiplied by Per Share Merger Consideration. The exercise price for each New Tempo Option will be equal to the exercise price per share of such Tempo Option in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by the Per Share Merger Consideration (rounded up to the nearest full cent).

Tempo Earnout Shares

Under the Merger Agreement, during the Earnout Period following the Closing but within the five-year period following the Closing Date, the Eligible Tempo Equityholders will have the right to receive up to 7,000,000 Tempo Earnout Shares on a pro rata basis in two equal tranches upon the occurrence of the Earnout Triggering Events. The Tempo Earnout Shares will vest in two equal tranches of 3,500,000 shares based on New Tempo achieving $15.0 million in quarterly sales revenue and upon New Tempo achieving quarterly Adjusted EBITDA of $5.0 million.

Under the Merger Agreement, certain representations and warranties of Tempo are qualified in whole or in part by a material adverse effect standard for purposes of determining whether a breach of such representations and warranties has occurred. Under the Merger Agreement, certain representations and warranties of ACE are qualified in whole or in part by a material adverse effect on the ability of ACE to enter into and perform its obligations under the Merger Agreement standard for purposes of determining whether a breach of such representations and warranties has occurred.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, a material adverse effect with respect to Tempo (“Tempo Material Adverse Effect”) means any event, state of facts, development, circumstance, occurrence or effect (collectively, “Events”) that (i) has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, assets, results of operations or financial

118

condition of Tempo and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole or (ii) does or would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, prevent the ability of Tempo to consummate the Merger.

However, in no event would any of the following, alone or in combination, be deemed to constitute, or be taken into account in determining whether there has been or will be, a “Tempo Material Adverse Effect”:

(a) any change in applicable laws or GAAP or any interpretation thereof following the date of the Merger Agreement;

(b) any change in interest rates or economic, political, business or financial market conditions generally;

(c) the taking of any action required by the Merger Agreement;

(d) any natural disaster (including hurricanes, storms, tornados, flooding, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or similar occurrences), pandemic or change in climate;

(e) any acts of terrorism or war, the outbreak or escalation of hostilities, geopolitical conditions, local, national or international political conditions;

(f) any failure of Tempo to meet any projections or forecasts (provided that this clause will not prevent a determination that any Event not otherwise excluded from this definition of Tempo Material Adverse Effect underlying such failure to meet projections or forecasts has resulted in a Tempo Material Adverse Effect);

(g) any Events generally applicable to the industries or markets in which Tempo and its subsidiaries operate (including increases in the cost of products, supplies, materials or other goods purchased from third party suppliers);

(h) the announcement of the Merger Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including any termination of, reduction in or similar adverse impact (but in each case only to the extent attributable to such announcement or consummation) on relationships, contractual or otherwise, with any landlords, customers, suppliers, distributors, partners or employees of Tempo and its subsidiaries (it being understood that this clause will be disregarded for purposes of the representation and warranties in Section 4.4 of the Merger Agreement and the corresponding condition to Closing);

(i) any matter set forth on Tempo’s disclosure letter (the “Tempo Disclosure Letter”);

(j) any Events to the extent actually known by certain individuals identified in ACE’s disclosure letter on or prior to the date of the Merger Agreement; or

(k) any action taken by, or at the request of, ACE or Merger Sub.

Any Event referred to in clauses (a), (b), (d), (e) or (g) above may be taken into account in determining if a Tempo Material Adverse Effect has occurred to the extent it has a disproportionate and adverse effect on the business, assets, results of operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Tempo and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, relative to similarly situated companies in the industry in which Tempo and its subsidiaries conduct their respective operations (which will include the semiconductor and related technology industries generally), but only to the extent of the incremental disproportionate effect on Tempo and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, relative to similarly situated companies in the industry in which Tempo and its subsidiaries conduct their respective operations.

Lock-Up Agreements

Pursuant to the terms of the lock-up agreement between New Tempo, the Sponsor and certain former stockholders of Tempo (the “Lock-Up Agreement”), each party to the agreement has agreed that it will not, without the prior written consent of New Tempo during a lock-up period of 365 days, unless earlier released, and subject to customary exceptions, (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer, dispose of or agree to transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position any shares of New Tempo common stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for New Tempo common stock issued or issuable to such party pursuant to the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “Lock-Up Shares”), (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Shares or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii).

The lock-up restrictions contain customary exceptions, including for estate planning transfers, affiliates transfers, and transfers upon death or by will.

PIPE Subscription Agreements

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, ACE entered into (i) the Original PIPE Common Stock Subscription Agreements with certain investors pursuant to which such investors agreed to purchase 8.2 million shares of New Tempo common stock at $10.00 per share for an aggregate commitment amount of $82.0 million, and (ii) the Affiliate Subscription Agreement.

132

In January 2022, the Affiliate Subscription Agreement was terminated in its entirety in accordance with its terms, and ACE and Tempo entered into a subscription agreement with OCM and Tor Asia, pursuant to which Tor Asia and OCM agreed to purchase $200.0 million of ACE’s 15.5% convertible senior notes. On July 30, 2022, OCM delivered notice of termination of the Oaktree Subscription Agreement, effective immediately. On September 4, 2022, Tempo, ACE, OCM and Oaktree entered into the Oaktree Termination Letter pursuant to which the termination fee in connection with the Oaktree Subscription Agreement was reduced from 3.5% of the aggregate principal amount of the subscribed notes (approximately $7.0 million) to 0.6% of the aggregate principal amount of the subscribed notes (approximately $1.1 million) if the closing of the Business Combination occurs on or before October 15, 2022, to be paid on the earlier of (i) six months after the Closing and (ii) the date on which either ACE or Tempo commence bankruptcy proceedings. In addition to the Reduced Termination Fee, ACE and Tempo are required to pay approximately $1.2 million in fees and expenses to OCM on the earlier of (x) immediately following the Closing and (y) the Outside Business Combination Date. The Reduced Termination Fee and all other fees and expenses owed to OCM under the Oaktree Termination Letter will accrue interest at a rate of 20% per year, compounding monthly, starting on October 15, 2022. The Oaktree Termination Letter states that if the Business Combination has not been consummated prior to October 15, 2022, on the earliest of (I) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated, (II) the date on which either ACE or Tempo commence bankruptcy proceedings and (III) June 15, 2023, ACE and Tempo will pay OCM the full 3.5% termination fee and all of its accrued and unpaid fees and expenses. To the extent the termination fee and accrued and unpaid fees and expenses are not paid on or prior to June 15, 2023, the unpaid portion of the termination fee (together with all other unpaid fees and expenses) will accrue interest at a rate of 20% per year, compounding monthly, starting on October 15, 2022.

On March 16, 2022, ACE entered into Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements, which amended and restated the Original PIPE Common Stock Subscription Agreements in their entirety, pursuant to which certain investors agreed to purchase 10.2 million shares of New Tempo common stock at $10.00 per share for an aggregate commitment of $102.0 million.

On July 6, 2022, ACE entered into Second Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements (the “Second A&R Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors, which amended and restated the Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements in their entirety.

On September 7, 2022, ACE entered into Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements with each of the PIPE Investors, which amend and restate the applicable Second Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements in their entirety. One of the Third Party PIPE Investors who entered into the Second A&R Subscription Agreement did not enter into the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreement and terminated its Second A&R Subscription Agreement on September 7, 2022. Pursuant to the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements, ACE has agreed to issue additional shares of New Tempo common stock to each PIPE Investor in the event that the volume weighted average price per share of New Tempo common stock (the “Measurement Period VWAP”) during the 30 days commencing on the date on which a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of New Tempo common stock acquired by such PIPE Investors (the “PIPE Resale Registration Statement”) is declared effective is less than $10.00 per share. In such case, each PIPE Investor will be entitled to receive a number of shares of New Tempo common stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of New Tempo common stock issued to such PIPE Investor at the closing of the subscription and held by such PIPE Investor through the date that is 30 days after the effective date of the PIPE Resale Registration Statement (the “Measurement Date”) multiplied by (y) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is $10.00 minus the Adjustment Period VWAP (as defined below) and (B) the denominator of which is the Adjustment Period VWAP. In the event that the Adjustment Period VWAP is less than $4.00 (the “Price Floor Value”), the Adjustment Period VWAP shall be deemed to be the Price Floor Value.

ACE has also agreed to issue up to 500,000 additional shares of New Tempo common stock to each such PIPE Investor in the event that the Additional Period VWAP (as defined below) is less than the Adjustment Period VWAP. In such case, each such PIPE Investor will be entitled to receive a number of shares of New Tempo common stock equal to the lesser of (1) such PIPE Investor’s pro rata portion of 500,000 additional shares of New Tempo common stock, and (2) (i) (A) (x) the number of shares issued to such PIPE Investor pursuant to such subscription agreement and held by such PIPE Investor on the last day of the 30 calendar day period ending on the date that is 15 months following the closing of the subscriptions (such 30 calendar day period, the “Additional Period”), times (y) the Adjustment Period VWAP, minus the average of the volume weighted average price of a share of New Tempo common stock determined for each of the trading days during the Additional Period (the “Additional Period VWAP”), minus (B) the number of PIPE Incentive Shares, times the Additional Period VWAP, divided by (ii) the Additional Period VWAP.

Additionally, ACE has agreed to issue up to 2,000,000 additional shares (the “PIPE Incentive Shares”) to such PIPE Investors on a pro rata basis with respect to each PIPE Investor’s subscription amount as an incentive to subscribe for and purchase the shares under the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that New Tempo consummates a strategic transaction during the 15-month period beginning on the closing date, then the measurement date for the issuance of such additional shares shall be one day prior to the closing date of such strategic transaction, and the Additional Period VWAP will be deemed to equal the price per share paid or payable to the holders of outstanding shares of New Tempo common stock in connection with such strategic transaction. If such price is payable in whole or in part in the form of consideration other than cash, the value of such consideration will be (a) with respect to any securities, (i) the average of the closing prices of the sales of such securities on all securities exchanges on which such securities are then listed, averaged over a period of 30 trading days ending on the day as of which such value is being determined and the 29 consecutive days preceding such day, or if the information contemplated by the preceding clause (i) is not practically available, then the fair value of such securities as of the date of valuation as determined in accordance with the succeeding clause (b), and (b) with respect to any other non-cash assets, the fair value thereof as of the date of valuation, as determined by an independent, nationally recognized valuation firm reasonably selected by New Tempo, on the basis of an orderly sale to a willing, unaffiliated buyer in an arm’s-length transaction, taking into account all factors determinative of value as the investment banking firm determines relevant (and giving effect to any transfer taxes payable in connection with such sale).

One of the PIPE Investors’ Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreement provides that, if such PIPE Investor is an Eligible Investor (defined as any subscriber in the offering who is not a beneficial or record owner of ACE’s equity or an affiliate of ACE prior to the Initial Closing (as defined therein)), if, after the date of the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements, such PIPE Investor acquires ownership of Class A Ordinary Shares of ACE in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions with third parties (along with any related rights to redeem or convert such shares in connection with the Redemption) at least five business days prior to ACE’s extraordinary general meeting to approve the Business Combination, and such PIPE Investor does not redeem or convert such shares in connection with the Redemption (including revoking any prior redemption or conversion elections made with respect to such shares), the number of shares such PIPE Investor (only if an Eligible Investor) is obligated to purchase under its Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreement shall be reduced by the number of PIPE Non-Redeemed Shares.

The obligation of the parties to consummate the purchase and sale of the shares covered by the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements is conditioned upon, among other things, (i) there not being in force any injunction or order enjoining or prohibiting the issuance and sale of the shares covered by the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements and (ii) satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent to the Closing under the Merger Agreement. The closings under the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements will occur substantially concurrently with the Closing. For additional information, see “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — PIPE Subscription Agreements.”

We note that Citi, in its role as a placement agent that advised ACE in connection with the PIPE Investment, has resigned from its role in such capacity and waived all fees associated with such engagement. The placement agency services being provided by Citi in connection with the PIPE Investment were substantially complete at the time of its resignation, with any fees payable to Citi for such services contingent upon the closing of the Merger. The Company does not expect that the PIPE Investment will be impacted by Citi’s resignation. Committed and potential investors in the PIPE Investment have been informed of Citi’s resignation, and no investors have revised or withdrawn their respective commitments in light of that information. The PIPE Investment is not contingent upon any continued involvement by Citi in the transactions and, pursuant to the subscription agreements relating to the PIPE Investment, each investor in the PIPE Investment specifically has disclaimed reliance on any statement, representation or warranty made by, among others, each of the placement agents, including Citi, in connection with such investment.

Cantor Share Purchase Agreement

On March 16, 2022, ACE entered into the Cantor Purchase Agreement with CFPI relating to the Facility. Pursuant to the Cantor Purchase Agreement, New Tempo will have the right from time to time at its option following closing of the Business Combination to sell to CFPI up to $100.0 million of New Tempo common stock subject to certain customary conditions and limitations set forth in the Cantor Purchase Agreement. As a commitment fee for Cantor’s services under the Cantor Purchase Agreement, New Tempo will issue to Cantor a number of shares of New Tempo common stock equal to the quotient of $3,500,000 divided by the fair market value of a share of New Tempo common stock on the earlier of (i) the trading day immediately prior to the filing of a resale registration statement with respect to the shares of New Tempo common stock to be sold under the Facility and (ii) the date on which Cantor sends an invoice to New Tempo with respect to such commitment fee.

Sales of New Tempo common stock to CFPI under the Cantor Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any sales, will be determined by New Tempo from time to time in its sole discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of shares of New Tempo common stock and determinations by New Tempo regarding the use of proceeds of such sales. The net proceeds from any sales under the Cantor Purchase Agreement will depend on the frequency with, and prices at, which the shares of New Tempo common stock are sold to CFPI. New Tempo expects to use the proceeds from any sales under the Cantor Purchase Agreement for the payment of certain transaction expenses relating to the Business Combination and working capital and general corporate purposes.

Following the closing of the Business Combination, and upon the initial satisfaction of the conditions to CFPI’s obligation to purchase shares of New Tempo common stock set forth in the Purchase Agreement (the “Commencement”), including that a registration statement registering the resale by CF Principal of such shares of New Tempo common stock under the Securities Act (the “Initial Resale Registration Statement”) is declared effective by the SEC and a final prospectus relating thereto is filed with the SEC, New Tempo will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at its sole discretion until the first day of the month next following the 36-month period from and after Commencement, to direct CFPI to purchase up to a specified maximum amount of shares of New Tempo as set forth in the Cantor Purchase Agreement by delivering written notice to CFPI prior to the commencement of trading on any trading day. The purchase price of the shares of New Tempo common stock that the Company elects to sell to Cantor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will be 97% of the volume weighted average price of the shares of New Tempo common stock during the applicable purchase date on which the Company has timely delivered written notice to CFPI directing it to purchase shares of New Tempo common stock under the Cantor Purchase Agreement.

In connection with the execution of the Cantor Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue shares of New Tempo common stock to CFPI as consideration for its irrevocable commitment to purchase the shares of New Tempo common stock upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Cantor Purchase Agreement. The Cantor Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations by each party. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Cantor Purchase Agreements were made only for purposes of the Cantor Purchase Agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and are subject to certain important limitations.

The Company has the right to terminate the Cantor Purchase Agreement at any time after Commencement, at no cost or penalty, upon five trading days’ prior written notice. No termination of the Cantor Purchase Agreement alter or otherwise affect the Company’s obligations under the Cantor Registration Rights Agreement.

Cantor Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Company’s entry into the Cantor Purchase Agreement, on March 16, 2022, the Company and CFPI entered into the Cantor Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which New Tempo will agree to register for resale, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the shares of New Tempo common stock that are sold to CFPI under the Facility, including the shares of New Tempo common stock to be issued to CFPI as consideration for its irrevocable commitment to purchase the shares of New Tempo common stock, from time to time.

ACE Securities Purchase Agreement

Bridge Notes

On July 1, 2022, ACE, Tempo and AEPI entered into the Bridge Note, pursuant to which AEPI agreed to loan to Tempo up to an aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million, $2.5 million of which was advanced to Tempo as of June 30, 2022. As of the date hereof, an aggregate principal amount of $4.4 million has been advanced to Tempo under the Bridge Note. On August 25, 2022, in connection with the Bridge Financing, the Bridge Note was amended and restated on substantially similar terms to the August 2022 Bridge Notes.

On August 25, 2022, Tempo entered into the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement, with the Initial Bridge Investors, pursuant to which Tempo agreed to issue up to $5.0 million in aggregate principal amount of August 2022 Bridge Notes to the Initial Bridge Investors for aggregate cash proceeds of approximately $1.4 million and the cancellation of approximately $3.6 million of outstanding amounts owed under the Loan and Security Agreement. Additionally, Tempo may, from time to time prior to October 9, 2022, issue up to $700,000 in aggregate principal amount of additional August 2022 Bridge Notes to one or more additional investors. The August 2022 Bridge Notes initially bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum. Upon the occurrence of any event of default under the August 2022 Bridge Notes until the earlier of the conversion of such August 2022 Bridge Note or the first date on which such event of default is cured or waived, the interest rate will be 15% per annum. Interest began accruing on August 25, 2022 and will continue to accrue on the outstanding unpaid principal until paid in full or converted in accordance with the terms of the August 2022 Bridge Notes. The August 2022 Bridge Notes will mature, and all outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable by Tempo, on the earlier of August 25, 2023 and the time at which such outstanding amount becomes due and payable upon an event of default under the August 2022 Bridge Notes. The August 2022 Bridge Notes may not be prepaid, in whole or in part, prior to maturity without the prior written consent of the Requisite Holders. The August 2022 Bridge Notes are subordinated in right of payment to all current and future indebtedness of Tempo to banks, leasing or equipment financing institutions and other financial institutions engaged in the business of lending money, including the Loan and Security Agreement. Unless an event of default has occurred and is continuing at such time, upon the closing of the Business Combination, the consummation of another SPAC Transaction (as defined in the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement), the consummation of a qualified financing or the consummation of an initial public offering or direct listing, all outstanding amounts under the August 2022 Bridge Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, as of such time will automatically convert in full into a number of shares of (i) Tempo common stock or (ii) Tempo preferred stock having terms equivalent to the terms of Tempo’s most senior preferred stock, in each case in accordance with the terms of the August 2022 Bridge Notes, such that the value of the securities received by the holder of any August 2022 Bridge Note will equal the product of (x) the aggregate principal amount, together with any accrued but unpaid interest, outstanding under such August 2022 Bridge Note as of the time of such conversion multiplied by (y) four. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing at such time, then upon the closing of the Business Combination, the consummation of another SPAC Transaction, the consummation of a qualified financing, the consummation of an initial public offering or direct listing or the consummation of any Change of Control, the August 2022 Bridge Notes will only be converted as set forth above if the holder of such note provides its written consent to such conversion. Upon the consummation of any Change of Control (as defined in the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement) prior to the conversion of the August 2022 Bridge Notes, the Company will pay to the holder of such August 2022 Bridge Note, upon the closing of such Change of Control and in full satisfaction of the applicable August 2022 Bridge Note, a cash amount equal to the sum of (i) the product of (a) the outstanding principal balance under the applicable August 2022 Bridge Note multiplied by (b) four, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest. The August 2022 Bridge Notes contain customary events of default, including the failure of Tempo to pay any of the principal, interest or any other amounts payable under the August 2022 Bridge Notes when due and payable, the breach by Tempo of any provision of the August 2022 Bridge Notes or the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement and any event of default under the Loan and Security Agreement that has occurred and is continuing after October 31, 2022. The Bridge Note Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and closing conditions.

On August 25, in connection with the issuance and sale of the August 2022 Bridge Notes, and as a condition to closing the issuance and sale of the August 2022 Bridge Notes in accordance with the terms of the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement, Tempo:

On August 25, 2022, in connection with the issuance and sale of the August 2022 Bridge Notes, and as a condition to closing the issuance and sale of the August 2022 Bridge Notes in accordance with the terms of the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement, Tempo also entered into the Repayment Term Sheet. The Repayment Term Sheet contemplates that, in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the lenders under the Loan and Security Agreement (i) will convert up to $15.0 million in outstanding amounts under the Loan and Security Agreement as of such time into shares of New Tempo common stock pursuant to the Lender PIPE Common Stock Subscription Agreement, (ii) will receive up to $3.0 million in cash from the net proceeds of the Trust Account over $15.0 million; and (iii) will convert $15.0 million in outstanding amounts under the Loan and Security Agreement as of such time into New Tempo Senior Notes provided, that, (x) the Lender PIPE Conversion will be decreased by the Cash Amount, if any, and (y) for every $1.00 in net proceeds available from the Trust Account above $18.0 million, the Lender PIPE Conversion will be decreased and the Lender Debt Conversion will be increased, in each case, in like amount up to an aggregate decrease in the Lender PIPE Conversion and an aggregate increase in the Lender Debt Conversion of, in each case, $7.0 million. The New Tempo Senior Notes are expected to mature 36 months after the closing date of the Business Combination, and will be secured by a blanket lien on all assets of New Tempo and its subsidiaries. The New Tempo Senior Notes are anticipated to be issued at an original issuance discount of 1.50%, and will bear interest at a floating rate based on the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 4.25%, with a floor of 9.75%. A portion of the interest is anticipated to be payable in kind by increasing the aggregate principal amount under the New Tempo Senior Notes. All payments under the New Tempo Senior Notes for the first twelve months are expected to be credited towards interest only. Upon the final payment under the New Tempo Senior Notes, New Tempo anticipates that it will be required to pay an exit payment of 3.00% of the aggregate principal amount converted in the Lender Debt Conversion. The New Tempo Senior Notes are expected to be subject to customary covenants and events of default.

Bridge Subscription Agreement

In connection with the entry into the Bridge Note, on July 1, 2022, AEPI and ACE entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Bridge Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which AEPI agreed, at the closing of the Business Combination, to subscribe for up to 500,000 shares of New Tempo common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. The number of shares AEPI committed to purchase would be automatically reduced in an amount equal to (a) the difference between $5,000,000 and the Bridge Note Drawn Amount, divided by (b) $10.00, rounded up to the nearest whole share. On September 7, 2022, the Bridge Subscription Agreement was terminated in its entirety in connection with the amendment and restatement by ACE, Tempo and AEPI of the Bridge Note in connection with the Bridge Financing.

Background to the Business Combination

ACE is a blank check company incorporated on March 31, 2020, as a Cayman Islands exempted company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The proposed Business Combination was the result of an extensive search for a potential transaction using the network, investing and operating experience of our management team, including our board of directors. The terms of the Merger Agreement were the result of extensive negotiations between ACE and Tempo. The following is a brief description of the background of these negotiations, the proposed Business Combination and related transactions.

On July 30, 2020, ACE completed its initial public offering of 23,000,000 units which included the issuance of 23,000,000 units, including 3,000,000 units subject to the underwriters’ over-allotment option, at a price of $10.00 per unit (the “ACE units”), generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000 before transaction costs (including deferred underwriting expenses to be paid upon the completion of ACE’s initial business combination). Each ACE unit consisted of one ACE Class A ordinary share and one-half of one public warrant. Each public warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one ACE Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per

137

share, subject to certain adjustments. Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, ACE completed the private sale of an aggregate of 6,600,000 private placement warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant to the Sponsor. The private placement warrants are the same as the public warrants, except that the private placement warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable by ACE 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 ACE and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the public warrants. In addition, the private placement warrants and their underlying securities will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the consummation of ACE’s initial business combination, subject to limited exceptions. In connection with ACE’s initial public offering, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”) and Northland Securities, Inc. (“Northland”) acted as capital markets advisors to ACE, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP (“Skadden”) acted as U.S. legal advisor to ACE, Walkers acted as Cayman Islands legal advisor to ACE and WithumSmith+Brown, PC (“Withum”) acted as the independent registered public accounting firm to ACE. Cantor and Northland were not engaged to render, and did not render, a fairness opinion with respect to the Business Combination. Neither Cantor nor Northland has performed any services for Tempo, nor has either received any compensation from Tempo, in each case, in the two-year period preceding the date that ACE and Tempo entered into the Merger Agreement.

Since the completion of its initial public offering, ACE considered numerous potential target businesses with the objective of consummating its initial business combination. Representatives of ACE contacted and were contacted by numerous individuals and entities who presented ideas for business combination opportunities, including financial advisors and companies in the software, telecommunications, technology hardware, semiconductor and digital manufacturing sectors. ACE considered businesses located outside of the United States and in the United States that it believed had attractive long-term growth potential, were well-positioned within their respective industries and would benefit from the substantial intellectual capital, operational experience, and network of ACE’s management team. In the process that led to identifying Tempo as an attractive investment opportunity, ACE’s management team evaluated over 120 potential business combination targets, made contact with representatives of more than 57 such potential combination targets to discuss the potential for a business combination transaction and entered into non-disclosure agreements with 8 such potential business combination targets, including Tempo, none of which contained a standstill provision or a so-called “don’t ask, don’t waive” provision. Before entering into a non-binding letter of intent with Tempo (as described below), ACE’s management team actively pursued certain of such potential business combination targets, conducting preliminary due diligence on, having management meetings with and negotiating preliminary terms of potential transactions with such potential business combination targets. During this process, ACE entered into a definitive agreement with Achronix Semiconductor Corporation (“Achronix”), which was later mutually terminated by ACE and Achronix for the reasons stated below. Following such termination of the business combination between ACE and Achronix, ACE’s management ultimately determined for the reasons stated below, and the ACE board of directors agreed, that Tempo was the most attractive business combination target.

Beginning on August 3, 2020, until November 2, 2020, weekly deal-flow meetings via teleconference were held among members of ACE’s management team (including Behrooz Abdi, Chief Executive Officer of ACE and Chairman of the ACE board of directors, Dr. Sunny Siu, then President of ACE and then a member of the ACE board of directors, and Denis Tse, Secretary of ACE and a member of the ACE board of directors), certain of ACE’s advisors, and those ACE directors who were able to attend such calls on any given occasion, as applicable, in order to discuss matters relating to ACE’s initial business combination. Initially, such meetings were intended to allow ACE management and certain of ACE’s advisors to provide updates regarding the status of the evaluation of, and outreach to, potential business combination targets. During meetings that were held from November 2020 through early January 2021 (when such weekly deal-flow meetings were discontinued as a result of exclusivity under a letter of intent with Achronix), ACE’s management and certain of ACE’s advisors provided updates regarding the status of the potential business combination transaction with Achronix.

On August 28, 2020, representatives of ACE were approached by representatives of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC on behalf of a U.S. wireless technology company (“Company A”) regarding a business combination opportunity between Company A and ACE. On October 14, 2020, following several rounds of preliminary due diligence and discussions with Company A on transaction terms, ACE entered into a non-binding letter of intent including a mutual confidentiality agreement with Company A.

In August 2020, representatives of ACE approached representatives of Achronix, a company operating in the semiconductor industry. Over the course of the next few months, the parties engaged in discussions related to a potential business combination, including discussions with representatives of Achronix on transaction terms and on the diligence conducted by ACE’s legal, financial and other advisors. ACE and Achronix executed a merger agreement on January 7, 2021.

On December 5, 2020, Ryan Benton first formally informed ACE’s management that he had been appointed as Chief Financial Officer of Tempo.

138

On February 10, 2021, ACE filed a registration statement on Form S-4 for the business combination with Achronix (the “Achronix S-4”), and thereafter amended the Achronix S-4 on March 19, 2021, April 9, 2021, and May 6, 2021.

On March 7, 2021, Mr. Benton, as CFO of Tempo, informed ACE’s management team that Tempo intended to pursue a business combination with a SPAC. Given that ACE was working towards consummating its business combination with Achronix, ACE noted the information with no further action at the time.

In its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, ACE disclosed that, among other things, the SEC informed ACE that it was investigating certain disclosures made in the Achronix S-4, and that ACE and Achronix were fully cooperating with the SEC to provide all required information. On July 8, 2021, the Chairman and CEO of Achronix and Mr. Abdi met and mutually agreed to seek termination of the business combination between ACE and Achronix and to permit each party to begin searching for alternative transactions. This mutual decision was effectuated on July 11, 2021, pursuant to a Termination and Release Agreement between ACE and Achronix, terminating their merger agreement and their business combination. Such termination was announced by ACE and Achronix on July 12, 2021, including in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by ACE. On July 13, 2021, ACE withdrew the Achronix S-4 by filing a Form RW with the SEC. On October 27, 2021, the SEC notified ACE that they had concluded their investigation and did not intend to recommend an enforcement action against ACE, and ACE furnished such information on a Form 8-K on October 28, 2021.

On May 25, 2021 representatives of Tempo presented on Tempo’s business, operations and finances to a representative of Firsthand Capital Management.

On July 8, 2021, following the mutual decision to seek termination of the transaction with Achronix, Mr. Abdi reached out to Mr. Benton, in his capacity as CFO of Tempo, to inquire about the status of Tempo’s search for a SPAC partner with which to complete a business combination, and received Tempo’s pre-NDA presentation. During this call, Mr. Benton noted that Tempo was preparing to select such a SPAC partner.

Also on July 8, 2021, representatives of Tempo presented on Tempo’s business, operations and finances to representatives of ACE, and, subsequently, ACE executed a mutual NDA with Tempo and received a letter of intent template and a financial model from Tempo. Tempo also introduced its financial adviser, Citi, to ACE, and later that day, Mr. Abdi informed the disinterested members of the ACE board of directors of ACE’s discussions with Tempo.

On July 9, 2021, Tempo provided ACE with a list of trading comparables and representatives of ACE, Tempo, Citi and Cooley, Tempo’s legal counsel, convened a call, during which representatives of ACE presented to Tempo a preliminary letter of intent based on the information it had received, and discussed the terms therein. On July 11, 2021, with input from representatives of Cooley, representatives of Tempo provided comments to ACE’s draft of the letter of intent.

On July 10, 2021, Tempo opened a Virtual Data Room to ACE and disclosed to ACE its financial model, capitalization table and financial statements, and certain letters of intent, rationale, and due diligence findings related to Advanced Circuit and Whizz Systems, Inc. (“Whizz”), two companies that Tempo was considering acquiring (such acquisitions, the “Tempo Add-On Acquisitions”).

On July 11, 2021, representatives of ACE communicated to representatives of Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”) ACE’s intention to continue with their engagement as ACE’s M&A Advisor, and representatives of ACE notified Skadden of the opportunity to pursue a business combination with Tempo. Additionally, Tempo commenced its export compliance screening process with ACE and its consultants.

On July 12, 2021, following the ACE board of directors’ approval of the termination of the business combination with Achronix and the filing of the applicable documents with the SEC, ACE’s management team presented Tempo and three other viable candidates for evaluation as a replacement business combination target. The ACE team also presented on progress made on a letter of intent with Tempo, which ACE’s management considered as the strongest candidate due to the reasonableness of the valuation, dilution impact and deal readiness. Mr. Benton, in his capacity as CFO to Tempo, provided the ACE board of directors with a summary of Tempo and the proposed transaction. Mr. Benton also stated he would recuse himself from any discussions with the ACE board of directors held in connection with considering a business combination opportunity with Tempo due to potential conflicts of interest arising from his services as CFO to Tempo and as a member of the ACE board of directors. Mr. Benton then recused himself, and the disinterested members of the ACE board of directors resolved that ACE should enter into a non-binding letter of intent with Tempo. Further negotiations of such letter of intent took place over the next few days, including at a meeting on July 13, 2021, between representatives of ACE, Tempo and Citi.

139

On July 15, 2021, the principals of ACE, together with ACE directors Omid Tahernia and Kenneth Klein, participated in a due diligence session with Tempo to examine the company’s operation and software technology, with Behrooz Abdi and Omid Tahernia participating on-site. On the same day, representatives of ACE reengaged Withum to assist with financial due diligence with respect to Tempo and sent representatives of Withum an outline of the financial due diligence requirements.

On July 16, 2021, ACE convened a board meeting updating the directors on the due diligence findings with respect to Tempo. With Mr. Benton recused due to potential conflicts of interest arising from his services as Chief Financial Officer to Tempo and as a member of the ACE board of directors, the disinterested members of the ACE board of directors also approved the execution of the final letter of intent with Tempo (the “Final LOI”).

On July 17, 2021, ACE and Tempo executed the Final LOI valuing the company, together with the Tempo Add-On Acquisitions, at $972 million in pre-money equity value. The Final LOI contemplated financing through a combination of a PIPE investment providing for at least $110 million in proceeds, and a convertible debt offering of $50 million. The Final LOI also contemplated a minimum acquirer cash commitment of $350 million, for which ACE Equity Partners LLC, together with its affiliates and limited partners, would underwrite no less than $40 million to the PIPE and debt investments and would provide up to $50 million to backstop any equity redemption. The Final LOI also contemplated a commitment of no less than $15 million to the PIPE from Tempo’s existing shareholders and their affiliates.

On July 19, 2021, representatives of ACE proposed to representatives of Tempo preliminary terms for the convertible note issuance to be consummated simultaneously with the closing of the Business Combination.

On July 20, 2021, representatives of ACE reached out to representatives of Skadden regarding legal due diligence of Tempo, and from July 20, 2021, to October 13, 2021, representatives of Skadden conducted legal due diligence of Tempo documents. Representatives of Skadden and ACE held numerous legal due diligence calls to discuss Skadden’s findings, including an interim update call on August 4, 2021.

On July 21, 2021, Tempo advised ACE that it had retained Blueshirt Capital Advisors L.L.C. as Investor Relations consultant for the transaction. On the same day, representatives of ACE, Tempo, Citi, Jefferies and Cooley met to discuss the PIPE fundraising strategy and discussed the first iteration of the PIPE investor presentation.

On July 22, 2021, then director Sunny Siu and directors Omid Tahernia and Kenneth Klein met with Jeff Kowalski, Chief Product Officer of Tempo, for a product demonstration. Representatives of ACE held a meeting to discuss this technology due diligence meeting on July 26, 2021.

On July 1, 2022, ACE and Tempo entered into that certain First Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger, pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, to (i) reduce the Base Purchase Price from $658,434,783 to $488,375,000, (ii) increase the number of Tempo Earnout Shares from 7,500,000 to 10,000,000, which will vest in two equal tranches of 5,000,000 shares based on New Tempo reaching $10.0 million in Adjusted EBITDA and $50.0 million in revenue in any quarter during the five-year period following the Closing Date, (iii) remove certain covenants and other obligations of the parties relating to the employee stock purchase plan contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (iv) to extend the Agreement End Date to November 13, 2022. As a result of the Amendment, all outstanding shares of Tempo common stock (after giving effect to the Tempo Preferred Conversion) as of immediately prior to the Closing, and, together with shares of Tempo common stock reserved in respect of Tempo Options as of immediately prior to the Closing that will be converted into awards based on New Tempo common stock, will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, or the reservation of (in the case of the Tempo Options, if and to the extent earned and subject to their respective terms), an aggregate of approximately 35,000,000 shares of New Tempo common stock (at a deemed value of $10.00 per share) equal to the remainder of (a) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Base Purchase Price by (ii) $10.00, less (b) the maximum aggregate number of shares of New Tempo common stock issuable as consideration to the equityholders of Whizz and Advanced Circuits, including, as applicable, a number of Tempo Earnout Shares.

On July 1, 2022, Tempo entered into that certain First Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement with Whizz, the Whizz equityholders and the other parties thereto, pursuant to which the parties thereto agreed that in lieu of the previously agreed consideration, the Whizz equityholders would receive aggregate consideration in the amount of $60.75 million from Tempo, composed of $42.0 million in cash and $18.75 million of consideration, in the form of cash, shares of New Tempo common stock or a combination thereof at Tempo’s sole discretion, issuable in three equal tranches on the six-month, 12-month and 18-month anniversaries of the Closing Date. Previous earnout performance targets were eliminated as part of the revised consideration.

On July 1, 2022, ACE, Tempo and the Whizz equityholders also entered into a letter agreement pursuant to which the Whizz equityholders agreed, subject to certain conditions, to defer a portion of the cash consideration payable upon closing of the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement with Whizz in an amount equal to $7,500,000, which outstanding amount would accrue interest at a rate of 15.5% per annum, until the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date, provided that, subject to certain limited exceptions, following the completion of each calendar month after the Closing but prior to the 18-month anniversary of the Closing, ACE would pay to the Whizz equityholders an amount in cash equal to 14.3% of the aggregate net proceeds actually received by ACE or Tempo (after deducting offering expenses) from all applicable financing transactions (including sales of New Tempo common stock made pursuant to the Cantor Purchase Agreement) consummated during the most recently completed calendar month,

147

which payments would reduce the amount of the deferred consideration payable to the Whizz equityholders upon the 18-month anniversary of the Closing.

On July 1, 2022, Tempo, Advanced Circuits, Aspen Acquisition Sub, Inc. and Compass Diversified Holdings LLC entered into that certain First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, pursuant to which the parties agreed to increase the size of the stock consideration the Advanced Circuits equityholders would receive upon the closing of the Business Combination from $70.0 million in shares of New Tempo common stock to $84.8 million in shares of New Tempo common stock.

On July 1, 2022, ACE, Tempo and Compass Diversified Holdings LLC entered into a letter agreement, which amended and restated the letter agreement dated April 11, 2022 in its entirety, pursuant to which Compass Diversified Holdings LLC, on behalf of the equityholders of Advanced Circuits, agreed, subject to certain conditions, to defer a portion of the cash consideration payable upon closing of the transactions contemplated by the Advanced Circuits Merger Agreement in an amount equal to $45,000,000, which outstanding amount will accrue interest at a rate of 15.5% per annum, until the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date, provided that, subject to certain limited exceptions, following the completion of each calendar month after the Closing but prior to the 18-month anniversary of the Closing, ACE will pay to the equityholders of Advanced Circuits an amount in cash equal to 85.7% of the aggregate net proceeds actually received by ACE or Tempo (after deducting offering expenses) from all applicable financing transactions (including sales of New Tempo common stock made pursuant to the Cantor Purchase Agreement) consummated during the most recently completed calendar month, which payments will reduce the amount of the Advanced Circuits Deferred Consideration payable to the equityholders of Advanced Circuits upon the 18-month anniversary of the Closing. The intent of this partial deferral of cash consideration was to facilitate the closing of the Business Combination by reducing the amount of cash required to be paid out at the time of the Closing.

On July 1, 2022, ACE, Tempo and AEPI entered into the Bridge Note, pursuant to which AEPI agreed to loan to Tempo up to an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000, $2,500,000 of which was advanced to Tempo as of June 30, 2022. On August 25, 2022, in connection with the Bridge Financing, the Bridge Note was amended and restated on substantially similar terms to the August 2022 Bridge Notes, as described below. In connection with the entry into the Bridge Note, on July 1, 2022, AEPI and ACE entered into the Bridge Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which AEPI agreed, at the closing of the Business Combination, to subscribe for up to 500,000 shares of New Tempo common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. The number of shares AEPI committed to purchase would be automatically reduced in an amount equal to (a) the difference between $5,000,000 and the Bridge Note Drawn Amount, divided by (b) $10.00, rounded up to the nearest whole share. On September 7, 2022, the Bridge Subscription Agreement was terminated in its entirety in connection with the amendment and restatement by ACE, Tempo and AEPI of the Bridge Note in connection with the Bridge Financing.

On July 6, 2022, ACE entered into Second Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements (the “Second A&R Subscription Agreements”) with each of the PIPE Investors, which amended and restated the Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements in their entirety. Pursuant to the Second A&R Subscription Agreements, among other things, the parties agreed to reduce the minimum Adjustment Period VWAP (as defined therein) from $6.50 to $4.00. Additionally, ACE agreed (1) to issue 2,000,000 additional shares (the “PIPE Incentive Shares”) to the PIPE Investors on a pro rata basis as an incentive to subscribe for and purchase the shares under the Second A&R Subscription Agreements, (2) that if the Adjustment Period VWAP is less than $10.00 per share, the number of additional shares each PIPE Investor will be entitled to receive shall be (i) (A) (x) the number of shares issued to such PIPE Investor at the closing of the subscription and held by such PIPE Investor on the Measurement Date (as defined therein), times (y) $10.00, minus the Adjustment Period VWAP, minus (B) the number of PIPE Incentive Shares, times the Adjustment Period VWAP, divided by (ii) the Adjustment Period VWAP, and (3) to issue additional shares of New Tempo common stock to each PIPE Investor in the event that the Additional Period VWAP (as defined below) is less than the Adjustment Period VWAP. In such case, each PIPE Investor will be entitled to receive a number of shares of New Tempo common stock equal to the lesser of (1) such PIPE Investor’s pro rata portion of 2,000,000 shares, and (2) (i) (A) (x) the number of shares issued to such PIPE Investor pursuant to such subscription agreement and held by such PIPE Investor on the last day of the 30 calendar day period ending on the date that is 15 months following the closing of the subscriptions (such 30 calendar day period, the “Additional Period”), times (y) the Adjustment Period VWAP, minus the average of the volume weighted average price of a share of New Tempo common stock determined for each of the trading days during the Additional Period (the “Additional Period VWAP”), minus (B) the number of PIPE Incentive Shares, times the Additional Period VWAP, divided by (ii) the Additional Period VWAP.

On July 6, 2022, the parties to the Sponsor Support Agreement entered into the First SSA Amendment, pursuant to which the Earnout Sponsors agreed, immediately prior to the Domestication, to contribute, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to ACE an aggregate of 5,595,000 Founder Shares in exchange for an aggregate of 3,595,000 Class A ordinary shares of ACE (the “SSA Exchange”). Pursuant to the First SSA Amendment, the Earnout Sponsors also agreed to subject an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of

148

New Tempo common stock (the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”) received in the SSA Exchange to certain earnout vesting conditions or, should such shares fail to vest, forfeiture to ACE for no consideration. On the earlier of (i) the date which is fifteen (15) months following the closing of the Business Combination and (ii) immediately prior to the closing of a strategic transaction, the Sponsor Earnout Shares will vest in an amount equal to (A) the number of Sponsor Earnout Shares, less (B) the number of Additional Period Shares (as defined therein), if any, issuable in the aggregate under such Amended and Restated PIPE Common Stock Subscription Agreements. In the event of a strategic transaction, the holders of any vested Sponsor Earnout Shares will be eligible to participate in such strategic transaction with respect to such Sponsor Earnout Shares on the same terms, and subject to the same conditions, as the other holders of shares of New Tempo common stock generally.

On July 26, 2022, Advanced Circuits requested that Tempo and ACE deposit $1,500,000 in cash in escrow by August 1, 2022, which amount would be released to Advanced Circuits if the Closing did not occur by September 16, 2022, in consideration of Advanced Circuits’ agreement to defer termination of the Advanced Circuits Merger Agreement until such time. After discussion and due consideration, Tempo and ACE rejected this request, in light of increased uncertainty about current and future market conditions and because the deadline did not provide sufficient time to complete the fundraising necessary to make such deposit.

On July 28, 2022, Advanced Circuits delivered notice to Tempo that Advanced Circuits was terminating the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 13, 2021, by and among Tempo, Advanced Circuits and the other parties thereto in accordance with its terms.

On July 31, 2022, Denis Tse and Behrooz Abdi of ACE held a virtual meeting with Joy Weiss and Ryan Benton of Tempo to discuss the termination of the Advanced Circuits Merger Agreement and discuss changes to the terms and structure of the Business Combination in light of such termination. Among other things, the participants discussed the overall market conditions and financial trends related to special purpose acquisition companies and the challenges associated with consummating a successful Business Combination. The participants also discussed feedback from selected investors and prospective investors and lenders with respect to the proposed Business Combination. The participants ultimately determined that the loss of merger synergies due to the termination of the Advanced Circuits Merger Agreement should be reflected in a reduced valuation of Tempo. Following this discussion, and assuming the termination of the Advanced Circuits Merger Agreement, ACE and Tempo mutually agreed to decrease the valuation of Tempo from $350.0 million to $235.0 million to reflect the revised financial outlook of New Tempo in light of such termination. Accordingly, it was agreed that the number of shares to be issued in connection with the Business Combination would be reduced from 25.0 million shares of New Tempo common stock at Closing and up to 10.0 million Tempo Earnout Shares, to 16.5 million shares of New Tempo common stock at Closing and up to 7.0 million Tempo Earnout Shares.

On August 8, 2022, the Tempo board of directors held a meeting via teleconference with representatives of Tempo management and Latham, to discuss, among other things, the proposed changes to valuation of Tempo and the earnout structure.

On July 30, 2022, OCM delivered notice of termination of such subscription, effective immediately, as a result of the closing of the Business Combination not having taken place. As a result of such termination, if ACE consummates an initial business combination with or among Tempo, Advanced Circuits, Whizz, or any of their respective affiliates or subsidiaries, OCM will be entitled to a termination fee of 3.5% of the aggregate principal amount of the subscribed notes (approximately $7.0 million), to be paid by ACE immediately following and as a condition subsequent to the closing of such initial business combination.

On August 4, 2022, representatives of Whizz informed members of Tempo management that Whizz would not extend the outside date under its stock purchase agreement with Tempo beyond August 13, 2022 without substantial amendments thereto, including a 25% increase in the base purchase price and an upfront closing cash requirement. Members of Whizz management cited the delay in the Business Combination, as well as improved business conditions for Whizz, as the primary reasons for their demands. Over the next several days, members of Tempo and ACE management tried to accommodate certain of Whizz’s demands, but also considered the risk that acquiescing to Whizz’s demands might pose to Tempo’s and ACE’s ability to close the Business Combination. Tempo and ACE ultimately determined that they would be unable to acquiesce to Whizz’s demands.

On August 9, 2022, the Board of Directors of ACE (the “Board”) held a meeting to discuss, among other things, the proposed revised terms and conditions of the Business Combination transaction. The Board considered, among other things, the updated projections from Tempo; that Tempo would no longer acquire Advanced Circuits or Whizz as part of the revised transaction or receive the benefit of revenue and earnings derived from Advanced Circuits’ or Whizz’s respective businesses; that in light of the proposed financing terms associated with the proposed transaction, New Tempo may have less cash available to it to fund its operations immediately following the closing of the revised transaction than previously expected; the revised pro forma financial information reflecting the revised proposed transaction; the benefit of reduced cash requirements for closing in a difficult financing market; and

149

the potential financial benefits of post-Closing acquisitions, assuming New Tempo is able to obtain additional financing after the consummation of the Business Combination. The disinterested members of the Board ultimately determined at such meeting that the revised transaction was fair to the Company, and that consummating the revised transaction was advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. See “Business Combination Proposal — ACE’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Business Combination” for more information about the Board’s reasons for approving the Business Combination.

On August 11, 2022, as a result of the parties’ determination not to acquiesce to Whizz’s new demands, Tempo and Whizz entered into a mutual termination agreement, pursuant to which the stock purchase agreement with Whizz and the other parties thereto was terminated in its entirety. The parties later determined that the loss of merger synergies due to such termination should be reflected in a further reduced valuation of Tempo.

On August 11, 2021, Tempo and Point72 Ventures Investments, LLC entered into a term sheet (the “Convertible Note Term Sheet”), pursuant to which the parties agreed to preliminary terms for a convertible note financing. Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Note Term Sheet, Tempo would issue up to $2.5 million in unsecured convertible promissory notes (the “Proposed Notes”) to Point72 Ventures Investments, LLC and certain other affiliated investors, including ACE, LuxVentures IV, L.P. and SQN. The Proposed Notes would bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum and, except with the written consent of the holders of the Proposed Notes, would not be eligible for prepayment. Unless accelerated as the result of an event of default, the Proposed Notes would mature 12 months from the initial issuance and sale of the Proposed Notes. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, consummation of a qualified financing, or consummation of an initial public offering or direct listing, all outstanding amounts under the Proposed Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, as of such time would automatically convert in full into a number of shares of Tempo preferred stock having terms equivalent to the terms of Tempo’s most senior preferred stock. The definitive agreement, if any, relating to the Proposed Notes would contain customary covenants and events of default. Closing of the issuance of the Proposed Notes would be subject to customary closing conditions.

On August 12, 2022, the parties to the Sponsor Support Agreement entered into the Second SSA Amendment, pursuant to which the Earnout Sponsors agreed, immediately prior to the Domestication, to contribute, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to ACE an aggregate of 5,595,000 Founder Shares in exchange for an aggregate of 3,095,000 Class A ordinary shares of ACE (the “SSA Exchange”). Pursuant to the First SSA Amendment, the Earnout Sponsors also agreed to subject an aggregate of 500,000 shares of New Tempo common stock (the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”) received in the SSA Exchange to certain earnout vesting conditions or, should such shares fail to vest, forfeiture to ACE for no consideration. On the earlier of (i) the date which is fifteen (15) months following the closing of the Business Combination and immediately prior to the closing of a strategic transaction, the Sponsor Earnout Shares will vest in an amount equal to (A) the number of Sponsor Earnout Shares, less (B) the number of Additional Period Shares (as defined therein), if any, issuable in the aggregate under such Amended and Restated PIPE Common Stock Subscription Agreements. In the event of a strategic transaction, the holders of any vested Sponsor Earnout Shares will be eligible to participate in such strategic transaction with respect to such Sponsor Earnout Shares on the same terms, and subject to the same conditions, as the other holders of shares of New Tempo common stock generally.

On August 12, 2022, ACE, ACE Merger Sub and Tempo entered into that certain Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, to (i) reduce the Base Purchase Price from $488,375,000 to $235,000,000, (ii) reduce the number of Tempo Earnout Shares from 10,000,000 to 7,000,000, which will vest in two equal tranches of 3,500,000 shares based on New Tempo reaching $5.0 million in Adjusted EBITDA and $15.0 million in revenue in any quarter during the five-year period following the Closing Date, (iii) remove terms relating to the Tempo Add-On Acquisitions, (iv) reduced the Minimum Cash Condition from $320.0 million to $10.0 million, and (v) to extend the Agreement End Date to December 13, 2022. As a result of the Amendment, all outstanding shares of Tempo common stock (after giving effect to the Tempo Preferred Conversion) as of immediately prior to the Closing, and, together with shares of Tempo common stock reserved in respect of Tempo Options as of immediately prior to the Closing that will be converted into awards based on New Tempo common stock, will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, or the reservation of (in the case of the Tempo Options, if and to the extent earned and subject to their respective terms), an aggregate of approximately 23,500,000 shares of New Tempo common stock (at a deemed value of $10.00 per share) equal to the remainder of (a) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) 235,000,000 by (ii) $10.00, including, as applicable, a number of Tempo Earnout Shares.

On August 25, 2022, Tempo entered into the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement, with the Initial Bridge Investors, pursuant to which Tempo agreed to issue up to $5.0 million in aggregate principal amount of August 2022 Bridge Notes to the Initial Bridge Investors for aggregate cash proceeds of approximately $1.4 million and the cancellation of approximately $3.6 million of outstanding amounts owed under the Loan and Security Agreement. Additionally, Tempo may, from time to time prior to October 9, 2022, issue up to $700,000 in aggregate principal amount of additional August 2022 Bridge Notes to one or more additional investors. The August

150

2022 Bridge Notes initially bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum. Upon the occurrence of any event of default under the August 2022 Bridge Notes until the earlier of the conversion of such August 2022 Bridge Note or the first date on which such event of default is cured or waived, the interest rate will be 15% per annum. Interest began accruing on August 25, 2022 and will continue to accrue on the outstanding unpaid principal until paid in full or converted in accordance with the terms of the August 2022 Bridge Notes. The August 2022 Bridge Notes will mature, and all outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable by Tempo, on the earlier of August 25, 2023 and the time at which such outstanding amount becomes due and payable upon an event of default under the August 2022 Bridge Notes. The August 2022 Bridge Notes may not be prepaid, in whole or in part, prior to maturity without the prior written consent of the Requisite Holders. The August 2022 Bridge Notes are subordinated in right of payment to all current and future indebtedness of Tempo to banks, leasing or equipment financing institutions and other financial institutions engaged in the business of lending money, including the Loan and Security Agreement. Unless an event of default has occurred and is continuing at such time, upon the closing of the Business Combination, the consummation of another SPAC Transaction (as defined in the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement), the consummation of a qualified financing or the consummation of an initial public offering or direct listing, all outstanding amounts under the August 2022 Bridge Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, as of such time will automatically convert in full into a number of shares of (i) Tempo common stock or (ii) Tempo preferred stock having terms equivalent to the terms of Tempo’s most senior preferred stock, in each case in accordance with the terms of the August 2022 Bridge Notes, such that the value of the securities received by the holder of any August 2022 Bridge Note will equal the product of (x) the aggregate principal amount, together with any accrued but unpaid interest, outstanding under such August 2022 Bridge Note as of the time of such conversion multiplied by (y) four. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing at such time, then upon the closing of the Business Combination, the consummation of another SPAC Transaction, the consummation of a qualified financing, the consummation of an initial public offering or direct listing or the consummation of any Change of Control, the August 2022 Bridge Notes will only be converted as set forth above if the holder of such note provides its written consent to such conversion. Upon the consummation of any Change of Control (as defined in the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement) prior to the conversion of the August 2022 Bridge Notes, the Company will pay to the holder of such August 2022 Bridge Note, upon the closing of such Change of Control and in full satisfaction of the applicable August 2022 Bridge Note, a cash amount equal to the sum of (i) the product of (a) the outstanding principal balance under the applicable August 2022 Bridge Note multiplied by (b) four, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest. The August 2022 Bridge Notes contain customary events of default, including the failure of Tempo to pay any of the principal, interest or any other amounts payable under the August 2022 Bridge Notes when due and payable, the breach by Tempo of any provision of the August 2022 Bridge Notes or the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement and any event of default under the Loan and Security Agreement that has occurred and is continuing after October 31, 2022. The Bridge Note Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and closing conditions.

On August 25, in connection with the issuance and sale of the August 2022 Bridge Notes, and as a condition to closing the issuance and sale of the August 2022 Bridge Notes in accordance with the terms of the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement, Tempo:

● amended and restated the 2022 Promissory Notes (as defined herein) and the Bridge Note, in each case, on substantially similar terms to the August 2022 Bridge Notes;

● entered into an amended and restated warrant with Point72 Ventures Investments, LLC, which amended and restated that certain Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock, dated as of October 11, 2021, to, among other things, provide for the automatic conversion, with an amended exercise price of zero, of such warrant into shares of Tempo common stock upon the consummation of the Business Combination, a business combination or similar transaction with another special purpose acquisition company, the consummation of a qualified financing or the consummation of an initial public offering or direct listing; and

On August 25, 2022, in connection with the issuance and sale of the August 2022 Bridge Notes, and as a condition to closing the issuance and sale of the August 2022 Bridge Notes in accordance with the terms of the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement, Tempo also entered into the Repayment Term Sheet. The Repayment Term Sheet contemplates that, in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the lenders under the Loan and Security Agreement (i) will convert up to $15.0 million in outstanding amounts under the Loan and Security Agreement as of such time into shares of New Tempo common stock pursuant to the Lender PIPE Common

151

Stock Subscription Agreement, (ii) will receive up to $3.0 million in cash from the net proceeds of the Trust Account over $15.0 million; and (iii) will convert $15.0 million in outstanding amounts under the Loan and Security Agreement as of such time into New Tempo Senior Notes, provided, that, (x) the Lender PIPE Conversion will be decreased by the Cash Amount, if any, and (y) for every $1.00 in net proceeds available from the Trust Account above $18.0 million, the Lender PIPE Conversion will be decreased and the Lender Debt Conversion will be increased, in each case, in like amount up to an aggregate decrease in the Lender PIPE Conversion and an aggregate increase in the Lender Debt Conversion of, in each case, $7.0 million. The New Tempo Senior Notes are expected to mature 36 months after the closing date of the Business Combination, and will be secured by a blanket lien on all assets of New Tempo and its subsidiaries. The New Tempo Senior Notes are anticipated to be issued at an original issuance discount of 1.50%, and will bear interest at a floating rate based on the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 4.25%, with a floor of 9.75%. A portion of the interest is anticipated to be payable in kind by increasing the aggregate principal amount under the New Tempo Senior Notes. All payments under the New Tempo Senior Notes for the first twelve months are expected to be credited towards interest only. Upon the final payment under the New Tempo Senior Notes, New Tempo anticipates that it will be required to pay an exit payment of 3.00% of the aggregate principal amount converted in the Lender Debt Conversion. The New Tempo Senior Notes are expected to be subject to customary covenants and events of default.

On September 7, 2022, ACE and Tempo entered into that certain First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, to increase the Base Purchase Price from $235,000,000 to $257,927,013 in order to correct a miscalculation of the Base Purchase Price in the Merger Agreement related to the rollover of Tempo options.

On September 7, 2022, in light of the participation by the Sponsor and certain related parties in the 2022 Promissory Notes, ACE, AEPI and Tempo entered into a termination agreement, pursuant to which the Bridge Subscription Agreement was terminated in its entirety in accordance with its terms.

On September 7, 2022, the parties to the Sponsor Support Agreement entered into the Third SSA Amendment, pursuant to which the parties agreed to increase the number of shares issued in the aggregate in the SSA Exchange from 3,095,000 to 3,595,000, and to increase the number of Sponsor Earnout Shares from 500,000 to 1,000,000.

Prior to the closing of the Business Combination, ACE and Tempo intend to enter into one or more subscription agreements with certain affiliates of the lenders under the Loan and Security Agreement, pursuant to which ACE will agree to sell, and such affiliates of the lenders under the Loan and Security Agreement will agree to purchase, shares of New Tempo common stock at $10.00 per share (the “Lender PIPE Common Stock Subscription Agreement”), in each case to be issued and sold to such parties in connection with the closing of the Business Combination using the outstanding debt balance under the Loan and Security at such time in exchange for the termination of the Loan and Security Agreement and the cancellation of all outstanding borrowings thereunder. In connection therewith, and to induce the affiliates of the lenders under the Loan and Security Agreement to enter into the Lender PIPE Common Stock Subscription Agreement, Tempo intends to issue warrants to purchase shares of Tempo’s Series C preferred stock to such affiliates of the lenders under the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Lender Warrants”). The Lender Warrants are expected to automatically convert into shares of New Tempo common stock upon the closing of the Business Combination. On September 7, 2022, ACE entered into the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements with each of the PIPE Investors, pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to purchase an aggregate of 550,000 shares of New Tempo common stock.

Pursuant to the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements, ACE has agreed to issue additional shares of New Tempo common stock to each PIPE Investor in the event that the volume weighted average price per share of New Tempo common stock (the “Measurement Period VWAP”) during the 30 days commencing on the date on which a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of New Tempo common stock acquired by such PIPE Investors (the “PIPE Resale Registration Statement”) is declared effective is less than $10.00 per share. In such case, each PIPE Investor will be entitled to receive a number of shares of New Tempo common stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of New Tempo common stock issued to such PIPE Investor at the closing of the subscription and held by such PIPE Investor through the date that is 30 days after the effective date of the PIPE Resale Registration Statement (the “Measurement Date”) multiplied by (y) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is $10.00 minus the Adjustment Period VWAP (as defined below) and (B) the denominator of which is the Adjustment Period VWAP. In the event that the Adjustment Period VWAP is less than $4.00 (the “Price Floor Value”), the Adjustment Period VWAP shall be deemed to be the Price Floor Value.

ACE has also agreed to issue up to 500,000 additional shares of New Tempo common stock to each such PIPE Investor in the event that the Additional Period VWAP (as defined below) is less than the Adjustment Period VWAP. In such case, each such PIPE Investor will be entitled to receive a number of shares of New Tempo common stock equal to the lesser of (1) such PIPE Investor’s

152

pro rata portion of 500,000 additional shares of New Tempo common stock, and (2) (i) (A) (x) the number of shares issued to such PIPE Investor pursuant to such subscription agreement and held by such PIPE Investor on the last day of the 30 calendar day period ending on the date that is 15 months following the closing of the subscriptions (such 30 calendar day period, the “Additional Period”), times (y) the Adjustment Period VWAP, minus the average of the volume weighted average price of a share of New Tempo common stock determined for each of the trading days during the Additional Period (the “Additional Period VWAP”), minus (B) the number of PIPE Incentive Shares, times the Additional Period VWAP, divided by (ii) the Additional Period VWAP.

Additionally, ACE has agreed to issue up to 2,000,000 additional shares (the “PIPE Incentive Shares”) to such PIPE Investors on a pro rata basis with respect to each PIPE Investor’s subscription amount as an incentive to subscribe for and purchase the shares under the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements.

The obligation of the parties to consummate the purchase and sale of the shares covered by the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements is conditioned upon, among other things, there not being in force any injunction or order enjoining or prohibiting the issuance and sale of the shares covered by the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements and satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent to the Closing under the Merger Agreement. The closings under the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements will occur substantially concurrently with the Closing. For additional information, see “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — PIPE Subscription Agreements.”

Resignation of Citi

On May 19, 2022, Citi resigned from its role as financial advisor to Tempo and as a placement agent to the Company for the proposed PIPE Investment. Citi’s resignation was not the result of any dispute or disagreement with the Company or Tempo or any matter relating to the Company’s or Tempo’s respective operations, policies, procedures or practices. In connection with its resignation, Citi waived any claim it may have to any fees under the engagement letters entered into with each of the Company and Tempo and, accordingly, neither the Company nor Tempo has paid to Citi, and neither the Company nor Tempo is liable to Citi for, any fees, despite Citi’s having rendered substantially all applicable services at the time of its resignation. Citi did not provide specific reasons for its resignation, and neither the Company nor Tempo will speculate about the reasons why Citi withdrew from its role as financial advisor to Tempo and as a placement agent to the Company for the PIPE Investment and forfeited its fees after doing substantially all of the work necessary to earn those fees. Neither the Company nor Tempo intends to engage any additional advisors or placement agents as a result of Citi’s resignation, and the fees previously owed to Citi will not be paid or reallocated to any other advisor or placement agent. Citi was not expected to have a significant role in the closing of the Business Combination, and the Company does not believe that Citi’s resignation will impact the transactions described in this proxy statement/prospectus or the consummation of the Business Combination.

As is customary, certain provisions of Citi’s engagement letters with each of the Company and Tempo will survive Citi’s resignation. These provisions include the obligations of the Company and Tempo to indemnify and hold harmless Citi and its officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any losses and claims arising in any manner out of or in connection with the services that Citi provided to the Company or Tempo under the engagement letters and certain obligations of the Company and Tempo to maintain the confidentiality of information or advice rendered by Citi or any of its representatives to the Company or Tempo, as applicable, in connection with the evaluation of the Business Combination.

The Company does not expect that the PIPE Investment will be impacted by Citi’s resignation. Committed and potential investors in the PIPE Investment have been informed of Citi’s resignation, and no investors have revised or withdrawn their respective commitments in light of that information. The PIPE Investment is not contingent upon any continued involvement by Citi in the transactions and, pursuant to the subscription agreements relating to the PIPE Investment, each investor in the PIPE Investment specifically has disclaimed reliance on any statement, representation or warranty made by, among others, each of the placement agents, including Citi, in connection with such investment.

The disclosure in this proxy statement/prospectus pertaining to Citi’s engagement as financial advisor to Tempo and as a placement agent to the Company for the proposed equity and convertible note private placement investments to be consummated in connection with the Business Combination, as well as Citi’s subsequent resignation, has been provided to Citi. Citi’s confirmation that Citi agrees with this disclosure was requested, but Citi has indicated that it does not intend to provide a response to this request.

Some investors may believe that when a financial institution, such as Citi, is named in a registration or proxy statement, the involvement of such institution implies a level of due diligence and independent analysis on the part of such financial institution and that the naming of such financial institution generally means that the financial institution has completed a level of due diligence

153

ordinarily associated with a professional engagement. However, in connection with its resignation, Citi has disclaimed responsibility for any portion of the disclosure included in this proxy statement/prospectus. Neither the Company nor Tempo can provide any assurance that Citi agrees with the disclosure in this proxy statement/prospectus, and no inference should be drawn to this effect. Investors should not place any reliance on the fact that Citi was involved with any aspect of the transactions described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

At no time prior to or after its resignation through the date of this filing did Citi indicate that it had any specific concerns with the Business Combination. Citi did not prepare or provide any of the disclosures in this proxy statement/prospectus, any analysis underlying the disclosures or any other materials or work product to the Company or Tempo that have been provided to the Company’s shareholders or the investors in the PIPE Investment. As with other members of the transaction working group, Citi did receive drafts of proxy statement/prospectus prepared by the Company and Tempo and provided limited comments in the ordinary course.

The Company did not rely on Citi, in its role as a placement agent to the Company for the proposed equity and convertible note private placement investments to be consummated in connection with the Business Combination, in the preparation and analysis of the materials, including projections, provided to the board of directors of the Company for use as a component of its overall evaluation of Tempo. The board of directors of the Company did not receive or rely upon any financial or valuation analyses conducted or prepared by Citi in making its determination that the Merger Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, were just, equitable and fair as to the Company and that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to enter into the Merger Agreement subject to the terms and conditions agreed upon by the parties thereto.

The Company believes that the resignation of Citi and the waiver of fees for services that have already been rendered is unusual. It is possible that the Company’s shareholders may be more likely to elect to redeem their shares as a result of this resignation and as a result, the Company may not have sufficient funds to meet the Minimum Cash Condition in the Merger Agreement.

ACE’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Business Combination

On October 13, 2021, the disinterested members of the ACE board of directors (i) approved the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 13, 2021, by and among ACE, ACE Merger Sub and Tempo, and the related transaction agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) determined that the Business Combination is in the best interests of ACE and its shareholders, and (iii) recommended that ACE’s shareholders approve and adopt the Business Combination. In evaluating the Business Combination and making these determinations and this recommendation, the ACE board of directors consulted with ACE’s senior management and considered a number of factors. On August 9, 2022, the disinterested members of the ACE board of directors approved the Merger Agreement and related transaction agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby, and determined that such agreements and transactions are in the best interests of ACE and its shareholders.

The ACE board of directors and management also considered the general criteria and guidelines that ACE believed would be important in evaluating prospective target businesses as described in the prospectus for ACE’s initial public offering. The ACE board of directors also considered that they could enter into a business combination with a target business that does not meet those criteria and guidelines. In the prospectus for its initial public offering, ACE stated that it intended to focus primarily on acquiring a company or companies with the following criteria and guidelines in part:

(i) the business has a market capitalization of at least $500 million;

(ii) the business operates in industries in which ACE’s management team have technical, strategic and operational expertise to impart significant value;

(iii) the company’s existing product portfolio already commands certain leading position in a well-defined subset of the market, where the company sustains certain competitive advantage over its competitors;

(iv) the business proposition of the target can be clearly communicated to the capital market, with value-drivers that can be articulated clearly for the public market to monitor;

(v) the business presents a multi-year value-creation opportunity for which the expansionary funding from the business combination can be a powerful catalyst;

154

(vi) the business is positioned in a market with under-addressed growth opportunities, or the business presents opportunities for strategic re-positioning through changes in its product portfolio, sales model, customer and contract priorities, quality of cash flow and capital structure and its geographical resource allocation, etc.;

(vii) particularly with the funding from the business combination and the immediate value- enhancement initiatives provided by our management team, the target business should demonstrate a clear short-term potential to achieve positive cashflow as demanded by the public market; and

(viii)

(ix) the business must have a governance and control system in place, and a management team that is mentally prepared, to live up to the standards of a US listed company.

In considering the Business Combination, the ACE board of directors determined that the Business Combination was an attractive business opportunity that met the vast majority of the criteria and guidelines above, although not weighted or in any order of significance.

ACE’s board of directors considered a wide variety of factors in connection with their respective evaluations of the Business Combination. In light of the complexity of those factors, ACE’s board of directors as a whole did not consider it practicable to, nor did it attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it took into account in reaching their respective decisions. Individual members of ACE’s board of directors may have given different weight to different factors. This explanation of ACE’s reasons for the board of directors’ approval of the Business Combination, and all other information presented in this section, is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

In particular, the ACE board of directors considered the following factors:

● Tempo and the Business Combination.  The ACE board of directors considered the following factors related to Tempo and the Business Combination:

● Tempo’s Large and Fragmented Addressable Market.  Tempo aims to transform the U.S. prototyping and on-demand electronic manufacturing market with the deployment of its artificial intelligence-enhanced, software-accelerated intelligent digital manufacturing platform. This targeted market is significantly large, estimated at $290 billion based on IPC’s 2012-2013, 2018, and 2019 Annual Reports and Forecasts for the North American EMS Industry. It is also highly fragmented: approximately 77% of the outsourced electronic manufacturing facilities in the U.S. are operated by approximately 1,100 manufacturing service providers, each with estimated annual revenues of less than $50 million. By delivering faster turnaround time and enhancing product reliability through software and AI, the ACE board of directors believes Tempo is in an advantageous position to gain market share in this large, fragmented market.

● Tempo’s Unique Product Offering.  The ACE board of directors believes that Tempo’s software-driven offering is transformative in the U.S. prototyping and on-demand electronic manufacturing markets, where industry players have traditionally underinvested in technology, at least when compared to Tempo.

● Tempo’s Readiness for the Public Market.  Tempo has senior finance leadership with extensive public company experience. This includes Ryan Benton, the Chief Financial Officer of Tempo who has in the last ten years served as Chief Financial Officer, audit committee chair, or Chief Executive Officer in four publicly traded technology companies where he was in particular involved in initial public offerings, mergers, acquisitions, trade-sales, and various other capital market transactions. Tempo’s Vice President of Business Operations and Finance, Keith Tainsky, has extensive business process, strategic planning, ERP systems experience, and previously served as the Vice President of Finance at Revasum, Inc. and as the Chief Financial Officer of Exar Corporation. Additionally, Tempo’s Vice President and Corporate Controller Sherry Lin, after five years in public accounting, has spent approximately twelve years in various controllership positions at several public companies. The ACE board of directors believes these factors will help Tempo successfully operate as a public company while maintaining the capabilities to execute on additional business acquisitions.

155

● Tempo’s Growth Strategies.  Tempo intends to deliver revenue and earnings improvement organically. Tempo also intends to pursue strategic acquisitions in order to accumulate additional manufacturing data, gain market share, realize benefits of greater scale, acquire additional customer relationships, and increase its strategic capabilities.

● Experienced and Proven Management Team.  The ACE board of directors believes that Tempo’s management team has extensive experience critical to succeeding in the industrial software and electronics manufacturing market. Tempo’s management team is led by its Chief Executive Officer, Joy Weiss, who is a seasoned semiconductor entrepreneur and, most recently, served as Vice President of Data Center with Analog Devices, Inc. Tempo’s Chief Financial Officer, Ryan Benton, has experience as Chief Financial Officer of several technology companies, most prominently at Exar Corporation, a semiconductor company, where he led major acquisitions and dispositions, and, after promotion to Chief Executive Officer, led the eventual trade-sale of Exar Corporation. Ralph Richart, Tempo’s Chief Technology and Manufacturing Officer, was formerly a director of Advanced Circuits. Keith Tainsky, Tempo’s VP of Finance and Business Operations, has extensive business process, strategic planning and ERP systems experience, and previously served as the Vice President of Finance at Revasum, Inc. and as the Chief Financial Officer of Exar Corporation. The ACE board of directors believes that under the leadership of these foregoing individuals, Tempo has built a digital manufacturing company that offers customers the proposition of faster and more reliable outcomes, capable of strong growth. The ACE board of directors expects that Tempo’s executives will continue with New Tempo following the Business Combination and that they are aligned with ACE’s culture and goal of creating post-combination value. For additional information regarding Tempo’s executive officers, see the section titled “Management of New Tempo Following the Business Combination — Executive Officers.”

● Best Available Opportunity.  The ACE board of directors determined, after a thorough review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to ACE, that the proposed Business Combination represents the best potential business combination for ACE based upon the process utilized to evaluate and assess other potential acquisition targets and the ACE board of directors’ belief that such processes had not presented a better alternative.

● Continued Ownership By Sellers.  The ACE board of directors considered that Tempo’s existing equityholders would be receiving a significant amount of New Tempo’s common stock as consideration and that 100% of the existing equityholders of Tempo are “rolling over” their existing equity interests into equity interests in New Tempo, which would represent approximately 51.3% of the pro forma beneficial ownership of New Tempo after Closing before earn-out. This percentage assumes (i) that no public shareholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination, (ii) no exercise of the public and private warrants or options or issuance of any shares of New Tempo common stock in connection with the Tempo Earnout Shares, (iii) that (x) New Tempo issues or reserves for issuance 25,792,701 shares of New Tempo common stock to Tempo Stockholders as part of the Aggregate Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement and (y) New Tempo issues 1,050,000 shares of New Tempo common stock to the PIPE Investors pursuant to the PIPE Investment and (v) 1,155,000 shares of New Tempo to CFPI. If the actual facts are different from these assumptions, the percentage ownership retained by current ACE shareholders and Tempo Stockholders in New Tempo will be different.

Further, all of the proceeds to be delivered to New Tempo in connection with the Business Combination (including those from ACE’s trust account, proceeds from the PIPE Investment, less the payments of redemptions and any expenses relating to the Business Combination), are expected to remain on the balance sheet of New Tempo after Closing in order to fund Tempo’s existing operations and support new and existing growth initiatives, and are not anticipated to be used to effect any additional repurchase, redemption or other acquisition of outstanding shares of ACE’s common stock for at least the first six months after Closing. The ACE board of directors considered this as a strong sign of confidence in New Tempo following the Business Combination and the benefits to be realized as a result of the Business Combination.

● Investment by Affiliates and Third Parties.  The ACE board of directors considered that certain related parties of the Sponsor (“Sponsor Related PIPE Investors”) were expected to invest $40.0 million of PIPE Investment in New Tempo, and that certain third parties, including top-tier institutional investors (“Third Party PIPE Investors”), are also investing an additional $42.0 million of PIPE Investment in New Tempo. The ACE board of directors considered this another strong sign of confidence in New Tempo following the Business Combination and the benefits to be realized as a result of the Business Combination. In January 2022, the Sponsor Related PIPE Investors’ investment was reduced to $40 million, and Tor Asia and OCM agreed to invest an additional $200.0 million in New Tempo pursuant to their subscriptions for 15.5% convertible senior notes. The Sponsor Related PIPE Investors’ investment was subsequently increased to $60.0 million in March 2022 in connection with the execution of the Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements. On July 30, 2022, Tor Asia’s and OCM’s subscription was terminated in its entirety. On September 4, 2022, Tempo, ACE, OCM and Oaktree entered into the

156

Oaktree Termination Letter pursuant to which the termination fee in connection with the Oaktree Subscription Agreement was reduced from 3.5% of the aggregate principal amount of the subscribed notes (approximately $7.0 million) to 0.6% of the aggregate principal amount of the subscribed notes (approximately $1.1 million) if the closing of the Business Combination occurs on or before October 15, 2022, to be paid on the earlier of (i) six months after the Closing and (ii) the date on which either ACE or Tempo commence bankruptcy proceedings. In addition to the Reduced Termination Fee, ACE and Tempo are required to pay approximately $1.2 million in fees and expenses to OCM on the earlier of (x) immediately following the Closing and (y) the Outside Business Combination Date. The Reduced Termination Fee and all other fees and expenses owed to OCM under the Oaktree Termination Letter will accrue interest at a rate of 20% per year, compounding monthly, starting on October 15, 2022. The Oaktree Termination Letter states that if the Business Combination has not been consummated prior to October 15, 2022, on the earliest of (I) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated, (II) the date on which either ACE or Tempo commence bankruptcy proceedings and (III) June 15, 2023, ACE and Tempo will pay OCM the full 3.5% termination fee and all of its accrued and unpaid fees and expenses. To the extent the termination fee and accrued and unpaid fees and expenses are not paid on or prior to June 15, 2023, the unpaid portion of the termination fee (together with all other unpaid fees and expenses) will accrue interest at a rate of 20% per year, compounding monthly, starting on October 15, 2022.

● Results of Due Diligence.  The ACE board of directors considered the scope of the due diligence investigation conducted by ACE’s senior management and outside advisors and evaluated the results thereof and information available to it related to Tempo, including:

a. extensive virtual meetings and calls with Tempo’s management team regarding its operations, projections, and the proposed transaction; and

b. review of materials related to and made available by Tempo, including financial statements, material contracts, key metrics and performance indicators, benefit plans, employee compensation and labor matters, intellectual property matters, real property matters, information technology, privacy and personal data, litigation information, environmental matters and other regulatory and compliance matters, and other legal and business diligence.

● Terms of the Merger Agreement.  The ACE board of directors reviewed and considered the terms of the Merger Agreement and the related agreements including the parties’ conditions to their respective obligations to complete the transactions contemplated therein and their ability to terminate such agreements. See “Business Combination Proposal” for detailed discussions of the terms and conditions of these agreements.

● The Role of the Independent Directors.  In connection with the Business Combination, ACE’s independent directors, Kenneth Klein, Omid Tahernia and Raquel Chmielewski, evaluated the proposed terms of the Business Combination, including the Merger Agreement and the related agreements, and approved, as disinterested members of the ACE board of directors, the Merger Agreement and the related agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination. Ryan Benton, the Chief Financial Officer of Tempo, recused himself from all board deliberations in connection with the Business Combination.

The ACE board of directors also identified and considered the following factors and risks weighing negatively against pursuing the Business Combination, although not weighted or in any order of significance:

● Potential Inability to Complete the Merger.  The ACE board of directors considered the possibility that the Business Combination may not be completed and the potential adverse consequences to ACE if the Business Combination is not completed, in particular, the expenditure of time and resources in pursuit of the Business Combination and the loss of the opportunity to participate in the transaction. They considered the uncertainty related to the Closing, including due to closing conditions primarily outside of the control of the parties to the transaction (such as the need for stockholder and antitrust approval). The Merger Agreement and the Sponsor Support Agreement each also include exclusivity provisions that prohibit ACE, the Sponsor, and certain of their respective affiliates from soliciting other initial business combination proposals on behalf of ACE, which restricts ACE’s ability to consider other potential initial business combinations until the earlier of the termination of the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Business Combination.

In addition, the ACE board of directors considered the risk that the current public shareholders of ACE would redeem their public shares for cash in connection with consummation of the Business Combination, thereby reducing the amount of cash available to New Tempo following the consummation of the Business Combination. The ACE board of directors noted that

157

the consummation of the Merger is conditioned upon satisfaction of the Minimum Cash Condition, which may not be satisfied at Closing under substantial exercise by ACE’s current public shareholders of their redemption rights, based on the size of PIPE Investment and Debt Commitments as of the filing date of this registration statement. Further, the ACE board of directors considered the risk that current public shareholders would exercise their redemption rights is mitigated because Tempo will be acquired at an attractive aggregate purchase price.

● Tempo’s Business Risks.  The ACE board of directors considered that ACE shareholders would be subject to the execution risks associated with New Tempo if they retained their public shares following the Closing, which were different from the risks related to holding public shares of ACE prior to the Closing. In this regard, the ACE board of directors considered that there were risks associated with successful implementation of New Tempo’s long term business plan and strategy and New Tempo realizing the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination on the timeline expected, or at all, including due to factors outside of the parties’ control such as the potential negative impact, including the potential impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related macroeconomic uncertainty. The ACE board of directors considered that the failure of any of these activities to be completed successfully may decrease the actual benefits of the Business Combination and that ACE shareholders may not fully realize these benefits to the extent that they expected to retain the public shares following the completion of the Business Combination. For additional description of these risks, please see “Risk Factors.”

● Post-Business Combination Corporate Governance.  The ACE board of directors considered the corporate governance provisions of the Merger Agreement and the Proposed Organizational Documents and the effect of those provisions on the governance of the Company following the Closing. In particular, they considered that the parties have not entered into any agreement in respect of the composition of the Board after the Closing, except for the parties’ respective rights to designate the initial director nominees. See “Business Combination Proposal — Merger Agreement” for detailed discussions of the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement.

Given that the existing equityholders of Tempo will collectively control shares representing a large portion of New Tempo’s total outstanding shares of common stock upon completion of the Business Combination, and that the Board will be classified following the Closing pursuant to the terms of the Proposed Organizational Documents, the existing equityholders of Tempo may be able to elect future directors and make other decisions (including approving certain transactions involving New Tempo and other corporate actions) without the consent or approval of any of ACE’s current shareholders, directors or management team. See “Organizational Documents Proposals” for detailed discussions of the terms and conditions of the Proposed Organizational Documents.

● Limitations of Review.  The ACE board of directors considered that they were not obtaining an opinion from any independent investment banking or accounting firm that the price ACE is paying to acquire Tempo is fair to ACE or its shareholders from a financial point of view. In addition, the ACE senior management and ACE’s outside counsel reviewed only certain materials in connection with their due diligence review of Tempo. Accordingly, the ACE board of directors considered that ACE may not have properly valued such business.

● No Survival of Remedies for Breach of Representations, Warranties or Covenants of Tempo.  The ACE board of directors considered that the terms of the Merger Agreement provide that ACE will not have any surviving remedies against Tempo or its equityholders after the Closing to recover for losses as a result of any inaccuracies or breaches of the Tempo representations, warranties or covenants set forth in the Merger Agreement. As a result, ACE shareholders could be adversely affected by, among other things, a decrease in the financial performance or worsening of financial condition of Tempo prior to the Closing, whether determined before or after the Closing, without any ability to reduce the number of shares to be issued in the Business Combination or recover for the amount of any damages. The ACE board of directors determined that this structure was appropriate and customary in light of the fact that several similar transactions include similar terms and the current equityholders of Tempo will be, collectively, the majority equityholders in New Tempo.

● Litigation.  The ACE board of directors considered the possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could enjoin consummation of the Business Combination.

● Fees and Expenses.  The ACE board of directors considered the fees and expenses associated with completing the Business Combination.

158

● Diversion of Management.  The ACE board of directors considered the potential for diversion of management and employee attention during the period prior to the completion of the Business Combination, and the potential negative effects on Tempo’s business.

In addition to considering the factors described above, the ACE board of directors also considered:

● Interests of ACE’s Directors and Executive Officers.  ACE’s directors and executive officers may have interests in the Business Combination as individuals that are in addition to, and may be different from, the interests of ACE’s shareholders, as described in the section titled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of ACE’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination.” However, ACE’s board of directors concluded that the potentially disparate interests would be mitigated because (i) these interests were disclosed in the prospectus for ACE’s initial public offering and are included in this proxy statement/prospectus, (ii) most of these disparate interests would exist with respect to a business combination by ACE with any other target business or businesses, and (iii) ACE’s directors and executive officers hold equity interests in ACE with value that, after the Closing, will be based on the future performance of New Tempo’s common stock. In addition, ACE’s independent directors, with the recuse of Ryan Benton, reviewed and considered these interests during their evaluation of the Business Combination and in approving, as disinterested members of the ACE Board of directors, the Merger Agreement and the related agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination.

Based on its review of the forgoing considerations, the ACE board of directors concluded that the potentially negative factors associated with the Business Combination were outweighed by the potential benefits that it expects ACE shareholders will receive as a result of the Business Combination. The ACE board of directors realized that there can be no assurance about future results, including results considered or expected as disclosed in the foregoing reasons.

The preceding discussion of the information and factors considered by the ACE board of directors is not intended to be exhaustive but includes the material factors considered by the ACE board of directors. In view of the complexity and wide variety of factors considered by the ACE board of directors in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination, the ACE board of directors did not consider it practical to, nor did it attempt to, quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weights to the different factors that it considered in reaching its decision. In addition, in considering the factors described above, individual members of the ACE board of directors may have given different weight to different factors. The ACE board of directors considered this information as a whole and overall considered the information and factors to be favorable to, and in support of, its determinations and recommendations.

This explanation of the ACE board of directors’ reasons for its approval of the Business Combination, and all other information presented in this section, is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Projected Financial Information

Tempo provided ACE with its internally prepared forecasts for each of the years in the five year period ending December 31, 2025. Tempo does not, as a matter of general practice, publicly disclose long-term forecasts or internal projections of their future performance, revenue, financial condition, or other results. However, in connection with the proposed Business Combination, management of Tempo prepared the financial projections set forth below to present key elements of the forecasts provided to ACE. The Tempo forecasts were prepared solely for internal use and not with a view toward public disclosure, the published guidelines of the SEC regarding projections or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of projected financial information. In the view of Tempo’s management, the financial projections were prepared on a reasonable basis reflecting management’s currently available estimates and judgments.

Following the termination by Advanced Circuits of its agreement with Tempo on July 28, 2022, pursuant to which Tempo was to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in Advanced Circuits, and the termination of the agreement between Whizz and Tempo on August 11, 2022, pursuant to which Tempo was to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in Whizz, Tempo provided revised projections to ACE reflecting the removal of Advanced Circuits and Whizz from the proposed Business Combination. In considering whether to proceed with the proposed Business Combination on the new proposed terms, the Board of Directors of ACE (the “Board”) considered such updated projections, sought advice from its advisors and engaged in deliberations and discussions with respect thereto, and considered, among other things, that Tempo would no longer acquire Advanced Circuits or Whizz as part of the revised transaction or receive the benefit of revenue and earnings derived from Advanced Circuits’ or Whizz’s respective businesses; that in light of the proposed financing terms associated with the proposed transaction, New Tempo may have

159

less cash available to it to fund its operations immediately following the closing of the revised transaction than previously expected; the revised pro forma financial information reflecting the revised proposed transaction; the benefit of reduced cash requirements for closing in a difficult financing market; and the potential financial benefits of post-Closing acquisitions, assuming New Tempo is able to obtain additional financing after the consummation of the Business Combination. The disinterested members of the Board ultimately determined at a meeting on August 9, 2022, that the revised transaction was fair to the Company, and that consummating the revised transaction was advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. See “Business Combination Proposal — ACE’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Business Combination” for more information about the Board’s reasons for approving the Business Combination.

The inclusion of financial projections in this proxy statement/prospectus should not be regarded as an indication that ACE, our board of directors, or their respective affiliates, advisors or other representatives considered, or now considers, such financial projections necessarily to be predictive of actual future results or to support or fail to support your decision whether to vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal. You are cautioned not to rely on the projections in making a decision regarding the transaction, as the projections may be materially different than actual results. We will not refer back to the financial projections in our future periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act.

The financial projections reflect numerous estimates and assumptions with respect to general business, economic, regulatory, market and financial conditions, and other future events, as well as matters specific to Tempo’s business, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond Tempo’s and ACE’s control. The financial projections are forward looking statements that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Tempo’s control. The various risks and uncertainties include those set forth in the “Risk Factors,” “Tempo’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” sections of this proxy statement/prospectus, respectively. As a result, there can be no assurance that the projected results will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than projected. Since the financial projections cover multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less reliable with each successive year. These financial projections are subjective in many respects and thus are susceptible to multiple interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments.

The financial projections do not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date they were prepared and have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of, Tempo’s management. None of Tempo’s independent registered accounting firm, ACE’s independent registered accounting firm, or any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the financial projections included below, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or their achievability, and they assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the financial projections. The projected financial information was prepared solely for internal use and not with a view toward public disclosure or toward complying with GAAP, the published guidelines of the SEC regarding projections or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of projected financial information. The projected financial information was prepared by Tempo. Information provided by Tempo does not constitute any representation, estimate or projection of any other party. The projected financial information included in this document has been prepared by, and is the responsibility of, Tempo’s management.

The projected financial information set forth herein includes Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Tempo and ACE believe that due to the forward-looking nature of the foregoing projections, a quantitative reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures cannot be made available without unreasonable effort due to the nature and complexity of the reconciling items. Forward looking projections are not prepared in accordance with accounting standards. Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable GAAP measures is included and no reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures is included.

Specifically, the following GAAP adjustments, among others, have not been included in the projections: revenue accounting, including identifying the relevant performance obligations, allocating the value of the arrangement to the performance obligations and determining the timing of recognition of the relative fair value assigned to the performance obligations.

It is probable that these factors would have a significant impact on Tempo’s projected financial position and results of operations as reported under GAAP.

BDO and Withum have not audited, reviewed, examined, compiled nor applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to the accompanying projected financial information and, accordingly, BDO and Withum do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. The report of BDO included in this document relates to the historical financial statements of Tempo as

160

of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the years then ended. The report of Withum included in this document relates to the previously issued historical financial statements of ACE. The reports of BDO and Withum do not extend to the projected financial information and should not be read to do so. Furthermore, the projected financial information does not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date they were prepared. Nonetheless, a summary of the projected financial information is provided in this proxy statement/prospectus because the projected financial information was made available to ACE. No person has made or makes any representation or warranty to any ACE shareholder regarding the information included in the projected financial information. The projected financial information is not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and readers of this proxy statement/prospectus are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information. The projected financial information should not be viewed as public guidance.

EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS, BY INCLUDING IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS A SUMMARY OF THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS FOR TEMPO, ACE UNDERTAKES NO OBLIGATIONS AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO UPDATE OR REVISE, OR PUBLICLY DISCLOSE ANY UPDATE OR REVISION TO, THESE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS TO REFLECT CIRCUMSTANCES OR EVENTS, INCLUDING UNANTICIPATED EVENTS, THAT MAY HAVE OCCURRED OR THAT MAY OCCUR AFTER THE PREPARATION OF THESE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS, EVEN IN THE EVENT THAT ANY OR ALL OF THE ASSUMPTIONS UNDERLYING THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS ARE SHOWN TO BE IN ERROR OR CHANGE.

The following tables set forth initial projections (after giving effect to the Tempo Add-On Acquisitions) and updated projections (excluding the Tempo Add-On Acquisitions) regarding New Tempo for 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025:

Initial Projections

(1) Tempo defines Non-GAAP Gross Profit, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, as Gross Profit, adjusted to exclude the effects of stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization of intangibles (including purchase intangibles), and other one-time or non-recurring charges. Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with U.S. GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

(2) Tempo defines Adjusted EBITDA, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude the effects of stock-based compensation expense, total other income (expense) including fair value change of warrant liabilities and forgiveness of PPP loan, net and provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization of intangibles (including purchase intangibles), transaction related costs associated with the business combination and other one-time or non-recurring charges. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

(3) Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with U.S. GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

Revenue projections for 2022 through 2025 decreased largely as a result of the change in estimated closing date of the Business Combination from the fourth quarter of 2021 to the fourth quarter of 2022, increased geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty during the forecast period and the exclusion of the Tempo Add-On Acquisitions.

161

Non-GAAP Gross Profit projections for 2022 through 2025 decreased primarily as a result of the decrease in forecasted revenue for 2022 through 2025 described above.

Adjusted EBITDA projections for 2022 through 2025 decreased primarily as a result of the decreases in forecasted revenue and Non-GAAP Gross Profit for 2022 through 2025 described above.

Tempo’s initial projections and updated projections were prepared using a number of assumptions. To estimate the initial (after giving effect to the Tempo Add-On Acquisitions) and updated (excluding the Tempo Add-On Acquisitions) forecasted revenue growth, which imply a revenue compound annual growth rate of 23% and 20%, respectively, between 2021 and 2025, and the initial (after giving effect to the Tempo Add-On Acquisitions) and updated (excluding the Tempo Add-On Acquisitions) forecasted profitability growth, Tempo’s management relied on the following assumptions that Tempo’s management believed to be material:

● continued growth in the prototyping and on-demand electronic manufacturing market, driven by growth in the end markets that depend on it. Specifically, according to the July 2020 report, “Space: Investing in the Final Frontier,” published by Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, the space industry is set to grow from $350 billion to over $1.0 trillion by 2040. According to “McKinsey on Semiconductors,” published by McKinsey & Company, LLC in 2019, the semiconductor industry is expected to reach $362 billion by 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 7.2% from 2020 through 2025. The aviation and defense industry is expected to reach $850 billion by 2026 based on a compound annual growth rate of 9% from 2019 through 2026 according to the February 2021 research report, “Aircraft Manufacturing Market By Type (Gliders, Helicopters, Ultra-Light Aircraft, Passenger Aircraft, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle & Drones, and Airships), and By Application (Military & Defense, Civil, Commercial and Others): Global Industry Outlook, Market Size, Business Intelligence, Consumer Preferences, Statistical Surveys, Comprehensive Analysis, Historical Developments, Current Trends, and Forecasts, 2020-2026,” published by Facts & Factors Research. The medical device industry is expected to reach $600 billion by 2023 based on an anticipated compound annual growth rate of 6.1% from 2021 through 2023 according to the September 2021 research report, “Medical Devices Global Market Opportunities And Strategies To 2030: COVID-19 Impact and Recovery,” published by The Business Research Company. Additionally, according to the December 2020 study, “Industrial IoT (IIoT) Market by Component, Application (Robotics, Maintenance, Monitoring, Resource Optimization, Supply Chain, Management), Industry (Aerospace, Automotive, Energy, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Retail), and Region — Global Forecast to 2027” published by Meticulous Market Research Pvt. Ltd., the industrial and ecommerce industry is expected to reach $260 billion by 2027, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 16.7% from 2020 through 2027;

● commercialization timing for new products under development, including further upgrades to our front-end customer portal software, back-end manufacturing software, and connected network of smart factories and top-line and bottom-line benefits associated with accumulating additional data;

● the ability to source semiconductor components and direct materials (to which end we have invested in our supply chain people, processes, and systems);

● the ability to attract and retain key personnel, including personnel with experience in research and development and sales, general and administrative functions;

● growth in employee headcount to support increased revenue, but at a slower rate than revenue growth due to expected technological and operational efficiencies;

● the benefits of economies scale and vertical integration;

● estimated costs associated with public company operations and compliance;

● the closing of the Business Combination during the fourth quarter of 2021 in the case of the initial projections and during the fourth quarter of 2022 in the case of the updated projections; and

● the experience of Tempo’s management in the electronics and related industries.

Satisfaction of 80% Test

It is a requirement under the Nasdaq listing requirements that any business acquired by ACE have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds 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 execution of a definitive agreement for an initial business combination. Based on the pre-money valuation of $872.0 million for Tempo compared to the $230.0 million in the trust account, the ACE board of directors determined that this requirement was met. The board determined that the consideration being paid in the Business Combination, which amount was negotiated at arms-length, were fair to and in the best interests of ACE and its shareholders and appropriately reflected Tempo’s value. In reaching this determination, the board concluded that it was appropriate to base such valuation in part on qualitative factors such as management strength and depth, competitive positioning, customer relationships and technical skills, as well as quantitative factors such as its potential for future growth in revenue and profits. ACE’s board of directors believes that the financial skills and background of its members qualify it to conclude that the acquisition of Tempo met this requirement.

Interests of ACE’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of ACE’s board of directors in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor and ACE’s directors and executive officers have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to, those of ACE shareholders and warrant holders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

● On May 28, 2020, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 ACE Class B ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share (“Founder Shares”). On May 29, 2020, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 155,000 Founder Shares to certain members of the Company’s management team. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 750,000 shares that were subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised, so that the number of Founder Shares would equal 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the Initial Public Offering. As a result of the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option on July 30, 2020, 750,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture. Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering of ACE, the Sponsor purchased 6,600,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, or $6,600,000 in the aggregate, in a private placement. On October 13, 2021, the Sponsor distributed 1,678,500 Founder Shares and 948,750 Private Placement Warrants to Sunny Siu. In January 2022, the Sponsor distributed 755,930 founder shares and 891,714 private placement warrants to ACE SO5 Holdings Limited, an affiliate of the Sponsor. If ACE does not consummate a business combination by October 13, 2022 (or if such date is extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), it would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming all of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating, subject in each case to its obligations under the Cayman Islands Companies Act to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the 5,595,000 ACE Class B ordinary shares owned by the Sponsor and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees, and the 155,000 ACE Class B ordinary shares directly owned by ACE’s independent directors and certain of its officers, in aggregate, would be worthless because following the redemption of the public shares, ACE would likely have few, if any, net assets and because the Sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to the Sponsor if ACE fails to complete a business combination within the required period. In addition the 6,600,000 Private Placement Warrants would expire worthless. The Sponsor purchased the ACE Class B ordinary shares prior to ACE’s initial public offering for approximately $0.004 per share and certain of ACE’s directors and executive officers, including Behrooz Abdi, have an economic interest in such shares. Each of the initial shareholders of ACE and their permitted transferees acquired their ACE Class B ordinary shares at $0.004 per share. The 3,750,000 shares of New Tempo common stock that the Sponsor and initial shareholders of ACE (including the independent directors and certain officers of ACE, and excluding the Sponsor Related PIPE Investors) and their permitted transferees, are expected to hold following the Merger (including after giving effect to the Domestication), if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of approximately $38.25 million based upon the closing price of $10.20 per public share on Nasdaq on August 31, 2022, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Given such shares of New Tempo common stock will be subject to certain restrictions, including those described above, ACE believes such shares have less value. The 6,600,000 New Tempo warrants into which the 6,600,000 Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees, will automatically convert in connection with the Merger (including after giving effect to the Domestication), if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of approximately $726,000 based upon the closing price of $0.11 per public warrant on Nasdaq on August 31, 2022, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

● The Sponsor will benefit from the completion of the Business Combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to ACE shareholders rather than liquidate.

● Given the differential in purchase price that the Sponsor and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees paid for the Founder Shares as compared to the price of the units sold in ACE’s initial public offering and the substantial number of shares of New Tempo Common Stock that the Sponsor and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees will receive upon conversion of the Founder Shares in connection with the Business Combination, the Sponsor and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees may realize a positive rate of return on such investments even if other shareholders of ACE experience a negative rate of return following the Business Combination.

● The Sponsor and its affiliates are active investors across a number of different investment platforms, which ACE and the Sponsor believe improved the volume and quality of opportunities that were available to ACE. However, it also creates potential conflicts and the need to allocate investment opportunities across multiple investment vehicles. In order to provide the Sponsor with the flexibility to evaluate opportunities across these platforms, ACE’s Cayman Constitutional Documents currently provide that certain business opportunities are not subject to the “corporate opportunity” doctrine. This waiver allows the Sponsor and its affiliates to allocate opportunities based on a combination of the objectives and fundraising needs of the target, as well as the investment objectives of the investment vehicle. ACE does not believe that the waiver of the corporate opportunities doctrine otherwise had a material impact on its search for an acquisition target.

● On May 28, 2020, ACE issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which ACE borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $186,760. The note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2020, and (ii) the completion of the initial public offering. The borrowings outstanding under the note in the amount of $186,760 were repaid upon the consummation of the initial public offering on July 30, 2020. In addition, in order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of ACE’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan ACE funds as may be required. In the event that ACE’s initial business combination does not close, ACE may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the trust account would be used for such repayment, and the applicable related party lender or lenders may not be able to recover the value it or they have loaned to ACE pursuant to such loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor. ACE does not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor as ACE does not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the trust account. As of December 31, 2020, ACE had no outstanding borrowings under the working capital loans.

● On August 12, 2020, ACE entered into a working capital facility (the “Working Capital Facility”) with ASIA-IO Advisors Limited (“ASIA-IO”), an affiliate of the Sponsor, in the aggregate amount of $1,500,000. The funds from the Working Capital Facility will be utilized to finance transaction costs in connection with ACE’s initial business combination. The Working Capital Facility is non-interest bearing, non-convertible and due to be repaid upon the consummation of a business combination. In return, ACE deposited $900,000 into an account held by ASIA-IO, from which ACE may make fund withdrawals for up to $1,500,000. As part of the Working Capital Facility, ASIA-IO waived the right to convert the working capital loan into private placement warrants. Any outstanding amounts deposited with ASIA-IO upon the completion of a business combination or dissolution of ACE, will be returned to ACE. In November 2020, the deposit amount was reduced by $850,000. As of June 30, 2022, ACE had $829,295 of outstanding borrowings under the Working Capital Facility. If the Business Combination is not completed and ACE winds up, there will not be sufficient assets to repay the Working Capital Facility and it will be worthless.

● The Sponsor (including its representatives and affiliates) and ACE’s directors and officers may, in the future, become affiliated with entities that are engaged in a similar business to ACE. The Sponsor and ACE’s directors and officers are not prohibited from sponsoring, or otherwise becoming involved with, any other blank check companies prior to ACE completing its initial business combination (assuming ACE has entered into the Merger Agreement). Moreover, certain of ACE’s directors and officers have time and attention requirements for investment funds of which affiliates of the Sponsor are the investment managers. ACE’s directors and officers also may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to ACE, and the other entities to which they owe certain fiduciary or contractual duties. Accordingly, they may have had conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. These conflicts may not be resolved in ACE’s favor and such potential business opportunities may be presented to other entities prior to their presentation to ACE, subject to applicable fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands Companies

164

Act and Cayman Islands common law. ACE’s Cayman Constitutional Documents provide that ACE renounces its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer of ACE which may be an opportunity for such director, on the one hand, or ACE, on the other.

● ACE’s existing directors and officers will be eligible for continued indemnification and continued coverage under ACE’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Merger and pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

● The Sponsor Related PIPE Investors have subscribed for $2,000,000 of the PIPE Investment, for which they will receive 200,000 shares of New Tempo common stock. The 200,000 shares which the Sponsor Related PIPE Investors have subscribed for in the PIPE Investment, if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of approximately $2.04 million based upon the closing price of $10.20 per public share on Nasdaq on August 31, 2022, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. See “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions — ACE Convergence Acquisition Corp. — PIPE Subscription Agreements” for additional information.

● In the event that ACE fails to consummate a business combination within the prescribed time frame (pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents), or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with the Business Combination, ACE will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against ACE within the ten years following such redemption. In order to protect the amounts held in ACE’s trust account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to ACE if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than ACE’s independent auditors) for services rendered or products sold to ACE, or a prospective target business with which ACE has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) 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 value of the trust assets, in each case, net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any 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 indemnity of the underwriters of ACE’s initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

● In order to finance transaction costs in connection with ACE’s initial business combination (including any amounts which are currently outstanding), the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of ACE’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan funds to ACE as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes that would each become due and payable in full, without interest, upon completion of ACE’s initial business combination, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of notes may be converted upon completion of a business combination into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Such warrants would be identical to ACE’s private placement warrants. In the event that ACE does not complete its initial business combination within the prescribed time frame, ACE may use a portion of its working capital held outside of its trust account to repay any Working Capital Loans made to ACE, but no proceeds held in the trust account would be used to repay such Working Capital Loans, and the applicable related party lender or lenders may not be able to recover the value it or they have loaned to ACE pursuant to such Working Capital Loans. On August 12, 2020, ACE entered into a working capital facility (the “Working Capital Facility”) with ASIA-IO Advisors Limited (“ASIA-IO”), an affiliate of the Sponsor, in the aggregate amount of $1,500,000. The funds from the Working Capital Facility will be utilized to finance transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination. The Working Capital Facility is non-interest bearing, non-convertible and due to be repaid upon the consummation of a Business Combination. In return, ACE deposited $900,000 into an account held by ASIA-IO, from which the Company may make fund withdrawals for up to $1,500,000. As part of the Working Capital Facility, ASIA-IO waived the right to convert the Working Capital Loan into private placement warrants. Any outstanding amounts deposited with ASIA-IO upon the completion of a Business Combination or dissolution of ACE, will be returned to ACE. In November 2020, the deposit amount was reduced by $850,000. As of June 30, 2022, ACE had $829,295 of borrowings under the Working Capital Facility.

165

● On January 13, 2022, ACE entered into the Promissory Note with the Sponsor. Pursuant to the Promissory Note, the Sponsor has agreed that it will contribute to ACE as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “Contribution”) $0.03 for each Class A ordinary share of ACE that was not redeemed in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the extension of the deadline by which ACE must complete its initial business combination, for each month (or a pro rata portion thereof if less than a month) until the earlier of (i) the date of the extraordinary general meeting held in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the Business Combination and (ii) $1.5 million has been loaned. Up to $1.5 million of the loans may be settled in whole warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares of ACE at a conversion price equal to $1.00 per warrant. The Contribution(s) will not bear any interest, and will be repayable by ACE to the Sponsor upon the earlier of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination and the consummation of the Business Combination. ACE’s board of directors will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional months until $1.5 million in the aggregate has been loaned, and if ACE’s board of directors determines not to continue extending for additional months, the Sponsor’s obligation to make additional Contributions will terminate. If this occurs, ACE would wind up ACE’s affairs and redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in ACE’s Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. The maturity date of the Promissory Note may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined therein). Any outstanding principal under the Promissory Note may be prepaid at any time by ACE, at its election and without penalty, provided, however, that the Sponsor shall have a right to first convert such principal balance as described in Section 6 of the Promissory Note upon notice of such prepayment. If the Business Combination is not completed and ACE winds up, there will not be sufficient assets to repay the Promissory Note and it will be worthless. On June 30, 2022, ACE and the Sponsor amended and restated the Promissory Note in its entirety to, among other things, increase the aggregate principal amount available thereunder from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000, contingent upon the approval by ACE’s shareholders of the extension of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination to October 13, 2022. Monthly deposits into the trust account following the July 2022 redemptions are based on the number of public shares still outstanding following such redemptions. On August 28, 2022, ACE and the Sponsor amended and restated the Sponsor Loan in its entirety to, among other things, increase the aggregate principal amount available thereunder from $2,000,000 to $2,125,000, the effectiveness of which is conditioned upon the approval by ACE’s shareholders of the proposal to amend ACE’s Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which ACE must consummate an initial business combination from October 13, 2022, to January 30, 2023. Monthly deposits into ACE’s trust account following such extension will be based on the number of public shares still outstanding following such extension.

● Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Sponsor and ACE’s directors and officers will have customary registration rights, including demand and piggy-back rights, subject to cooperation and cut-back provisions with respect to the shares of New Tempo common stock and warrants held by such parties following the consummation of the Business Combination.

● Ryan Benton, a director of ACE, is also Chief Financial Officer of Tempo and as such is an interested party to the Business Combination. Mr. Benton recused himself from the ACE board of directors meetings and certain votes regarding the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination.

● On July 1, 2022, ACE, Tempo and AEPI entered into the Bridge Note, pursuant to which AEPI agreed to loan to Tempo up to an aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million, $2.5 million of which was advanced to Tempo as of June 30, 2022. On August 25, 2022, in connection with the Bridge Financing, the Bridge Note was amended and restated on substantially similar terms to the August 2022 Bridge Notes.

● In connection with the entry into the Bridge Note, on July 1, 2022, AEPI and ACE entered into the Bridge Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which AEPI agreed, at the closing of the Business Combination, to subscribe for up to 500,000 shares of New Tempo common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. The number of shares AEPI committed to purchase would be automatically reduced in an amount equal to (a) the difference between $5,000,000 and the Bridge Note Drawn Amount, divided by (b) $10.00, rounded up to the nearest whole share. On September 7, 2022, the Bridge Subscription Agreement was terminated in its entirety in connection with the amendment and restatement by ACE, Tempo and AEPI of the Bridge Note in connection with the Bridge Financing.

The Sponsor and each director and officer of ACE have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how our public shareholders vote. Unlike some other blank check companies in which the initial shareholders agree to vote their shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the public shareholders in connection with an initial business combination, the Sponsor and each director and officer of ACE have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the

166

transactions contemplated thereby, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Sponsor Support Agreement. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, and due to (i) the redemption of 14,797,723 public shares in January 2022 and (ii) the redemption of 4,256,979 public shares in connection with the shareholder vote in July 2022, in each case in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the extension of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination, the Sponsor (including ACE’s directors, its officers, and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees) owns 59.31% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of ACE.

Subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material nonpublic information), the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may (i) purchase public shares from institutional and other investors (including those who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the Condition Precedent Proposals, or elect to redeem, or indicate an intention to redeem, public shares), (ii) enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives not redeem their public shares, or (iii) execute agreements to purchase such public shares from such investors or enter into non-redemption agreements in the future. In the event that the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates purchase public shares in situations in which the tender offer rules restrictions on purchases would apply, they (a) would purchase the public shares at a price no higher than the price offered through the ACE redemption process (i.e., approximately $10.17 per share based on trust account figures as of June 30, 2022); (b) would represent in writing that such public shares will not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination; and (c) would waive in writing any redemption rights with respect to the public shares so purchased.

To the extent any such purchases are made by the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates in situations in which the tender offer rules and restrictions on purchases apply, ACE will disclose in a Current Report on Form 8-K prior to the extraordinary general meeting the following: (i) the number of ACE public shares purchased outside of the redemption offer, along with the purchase price(s) for such public shares; (ii) the purpose of any such purchases; (iii) the impact, if any, of the purchases on the likelihood that the Business Combination Proposal will be approved; (iv) the identities of the ACE securityholders who sold to the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of the securityholders (e.g., 5% security holders) who sold such public shares; and (v) the number of ordinary shares for which ACE has received redemption requests pursuant to its redemption offer.

The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of (x) satisfaction of the Minimum Cash Condition, (y) otherwise limiting the number of public shares electing to redeem and (z) ACE’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) being at least $5,000,001. A purchase of warrants by the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may have the effect of increasing share ownership of Tempo on a fully diluted basis.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Consistent with SEC guidance, purchases of shares by the persons described above would not be permitted to be voted for the Business Combination at the extraordinary general meeting and could decrease the chances that the Business Combination would be approved. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our securities and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of ACE’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of ACE and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, ACE’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder.

Interests of Tempo’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of ACE’s board of directors in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that Tempo’s directors and executive officers have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to, those of ACE shareholders and Tempo’s stockholders generally. The Tempo board of directors was aware of such

interests during its deliberations on the merits of the Business Combination. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

● Certain of Tempo’s directors and executive officers are expected to become directors and/or executive officers of New Tempo upon the Closing. Specifically, the following individuals who are currently executive officers of Tempo are expected to become executive officers of New Tempo upon the Closing, serving in the offices set forth opposite their names below:

Name	Position
Joy Weiss	President, Chief Executive Officer and Director Nominee
Ryan Benton	Chief Financial Officer and Secretary and Director Nominee

Expected Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination

We expect the Business Combination to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, ACE is expected to be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of New Tempo will represent a continuation of the financial statements of Tempo with the Business Combination treated as the equivalent of Tempo issuing stock for the net assets of ACE, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of ACE will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of Tempo in future reports of New Tempo.

Tempo has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances under both the no and maximum redemption scenarios:

● Tempo Stockholders will have a relative majority of the voting power of New Tempo;

● The board of directors of New Tempo will have up to nine members, and Tempo will have the ability to nominate the majority of the members of the board of directors;

● Tempo’s senior management will comprise the senior management roles of New Tempo and be responsible for the day-to-day operations;

168

● The combined entity will assume the name Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc.; and

● The intended strategy and operations of New Tempo will continue Tempo’s current strategy and operations.

Regulatory Matters

Under the HSR Act and the rules that have been promulgated thereunder by the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), certain transactions may not be consummated unless an HSR Notification and Report Form has been furnished to the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (“Antitrust Division”) and the FTC by each party and certain waiting period requirements have been satisfied. The Business Combination is subject to these requirements and may not be completed until the expiration of a 30-day waiting period following the two filings of the required Notification and Report Forms with the Antitrust Division and the FTC or until early termination is granted. On October 27, 2021, ACE and Tempo filed the required forms under the HSR Act with respect to the Business Combination with the Antitrust Division and the FTC and requested early termination.

At any time before or after consummation of the Business Combination, notwithstanding expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, the Antitrust Division or the FTC, or any state, foreign or other governmental authority could take such action under applicable antitrust laws as such authority deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to enjoin the consummation of the Business Combination, conditionally approving the Business Combination upon divestiture of assets or other remedies, and/or subjecting the completion of the Business Combination to regulatory conditions or seeking other remedies. Private parties may also seek to take legal action under the antitrust laws under certain circumstances. ACE cannot assure you that the Antitrust Division, the FTC, any state attorney general, or any other government authority will not attempt to challenge the Business Combination on antitrust grounds, and, if such a challenge is made, ACE cannot assure you as to its result.

None of ACE nor Tempo are aware of any material regulatory approvals or actions that are required for completion of the Business Combination other than the expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act. It is presently contemplated that if any such additional regulatory approvals or actions are required, those approvals or actions will be sought. There can be no assurance, however, that any additional approvals or actions will be obtained.

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

The Business Combination Proposal is conditioned on the approval and adoption of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the Condition Precedent Approvals is not approved, the Business Combination Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of ordinary shares.

Resolution

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that the Company’s entry into the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, dated as of August 12, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among ACE, ACE Convergence Subsidiary Corp., a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of ACE (“Merger Sub”), and Tempo Automation, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Tempo”), as amended on September 7, 2022, copies of which are attached to the proxy statement/prospectus as Annexes A-1 and A-2, pursuant to which, among other things, following the Domestication of ACE to Delaware as described below, the merger of Merger Sub with and into Tempo (the “Merger”), with Tempo surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Tempo, in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, be approved, ratified and confirmed in all respects.”

169

Recommendation of ACE’s Board of Directors

THE ACE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE ACE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of ACE’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of ACE and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself, or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, ACE’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section titled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of ACE’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

DOMESTICATION PROPOSAL

Overview

As discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus, if the Business Combination Proposal is approved, then ACE is asking its shareholders to approve the Domestication Proposal. Under the Merger Agreement, the approval of the Domestication Proposal is also a condition to the consummation of the Merger. If, however, the Domestication Proposal is approved, but the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, then neither the Domestication nor the Merger will be consummated.

As a condition to Closing the Merger, the disinterested members of the board of directors of ACE have approved a change of ACE’s jurisdiction of incorporation by deregistering as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and continuing and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. In accordance with ACE’s Plan of Domestication (included as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part), to effect the Domestication, ACE will file a notice of deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and file a certificate of incorporation and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which ACE will be domesticated and continue as a Delaware corporation.

As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication, (1) each of the then issued and outstanding ACE Class A ordinary shares will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of New Tempo common stock, (2) each of the then issued and outstanding ACE Class B ordinary shares will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of New Tempo common stock, (3) each of the then issued and outstanding ACE warrants will convert automatically into a New Tempo warrant, pursuant to the Warrant Agreement and (4) each ACE unit will be cancelled and will entitle the holder thereof to one share of New Tempo common stock and one-half of one New Tempo warrant.

The Domestication Proposal, if approved, will approve a change of ACE’s jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware. Accordingly, while ACE is currently governed by the Cayman Islands Companies Act, upon the Domestication, New Tempo will be governed by the DGCL. We encourage shareholders to carefully consult the information set out below under “Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights.” Additionally, we note that if the Domestication Proposal is approved, then ACE will also ask its shareholders to approve the Organizational Documents Proposals (discussed below), which, if approved, will replace ACE’s current memorandum and articles of association under the Cayman Islands Companies Act with a new certificate of incorporation and bylaws of New Tempo under the DGCL. The Proposed Organizational Documents differ in certain material respects from the Cayman Constitutional Documents and we encourage shareholders to carefully consult the information set out below under “Organizational Documents Proposals,” the Cayman Constitutional Documents of ACE, attached hereto as Annex G and the Proposed Organizational Documents of New Tempo, attached hereto as Annex H and Annex I.

Reasons for the Domestication

Our board of directors believes that there are significant advantages to us that will arise as a result of a change of our domicile to Delaware. Further, our board of directors believes that any direct benefit that the DGCL provides to a corporation also indirectly benefits its stockholders, who are the owners of the corporation.

The board of directors of ACE believes that there are several reasons why a reincorporation in Delaware is in the best interests of ACE and its shareholders. As explained in more detail below, these reasons can be summarized as follows:

● Prominence, Predictability, and Flexibility of Delaware Law.  For many years, Delaware has followed a policy of encouraging incorporation in its state and, in furtherance of that policy, has been a leader in adopting, construing, and implementing comprehensive, flexible corporate laws responsive to the legal and business needs of corporations organized under its laws. Many corporations have chosen Delaware initially as a state of incorporation or have subsequently changed corporate domicile to Delaware. Because of Delaware’s prominence as the state of incorporation for many major corporations, both the legislature and courts in Delaware have demonstrated the ability and a willingness to act quickly and effectively to meet changing business needs. The DGCL is frequently revised and updated to accommodate changing legal and business needs and is more comprehensive, widely used and interpreted than other state corporate laws. This favorable corporate and regulatory environment is attractive to businesses such as ours.

171

● Well-Established Principles of Corporate Governance.  There is substantial judicial precedent in the Delaware courts as to the legal principles applicable to measures that may be taken by a corporation and to the conduct of a company’s board of directors, such as under the business judgment rule and other standards. Because the judicial system is based largely on legal precedents, the abundance of Delaware case law provides clarity and predictability to many areas of corporate law. We believe such clarity would be advantageous to New Tempo, its board of directors and management to make corporate decisions and take corporate actions with greater assurance as to the validity and consequences of those decisions and actions. Further, investors and securities professionals are generally more familiar with Delaware corporations, and the laws governing such corporations, increasing their level of comfort with Delaware corporations relative to other jurisdictions. The Delaware courts have developed considerable expertise in dealing with corporate issues, and a substantial body of case law has developed construing Delaware law and establishing public policies with respect to corporate legal affairs. Moreover, Delaware’s vast body of law on the fiduciary duties of directors provides appropriate protection for New Tempo’s stockholders from possible abuses by directors and officers.

● Increased Ability to Attract and Retain Qualified Directors.  Reincorporation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware is attractive to directors, officers, and stockholders alike. New Tempo’s incorporation in Delaware may make New Tempo more attractive to future candidates for our board of directors, because many such candidates are already familiar with Delaware corporate law from their past business experience. To date, we have not experienced difficulty in retaining directors or officers, but directors of public companies are exposed to significant potential liability. Thus, candidates’ familiarity and comfort with Delaware laws — especially those relating to director indemnification (as discussed below) — draw such qualified candidates to Delaware corporations. Our board of directors therefore believes that providing the benefits afforded directors by Delaware law will enable New Tempo to compete more effectively with other public companies in the recruitment of talented and experienced directors and officers. Moreover, Delaware’s vast body of law on the fiduciary duties of directors provides appropriate protection for our stockholders from possible abuses by directors and officers.

The frequency of claims and litigation pursued against directors and officers has greatly expanded the risks facing directors and officers of corporations in carrying out their respective duties. The amount of time and money required to respond to such claims and to defend such litigation can be substantial. While both Cayman and Delaware law permit a corporation to include a provision in its governing documents to reduce or eliminate the monetary liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duty in certain circumstances, we believe that, in general, Delaware law is more developed and provides more guidance than Cayman law on matters regarding a company’s ability to limit director liability. As a result, we believe that the corporate environment afforded by Delaware will enable the surviving corporation to compete more effectively with other public companies in attracting and retaining new directors.

Expected Accounting Treatment of the Domestication

There will be no accounting effect or change in the carrying amount of the consolidated assets and liabilities of the Company as a result of the Domestication. The business, capitalization, assets and liabilities and financial statements of New Tempo immediately following the Domestication will be the same as those of ACE immediately prior to the Domestication.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

The Domestication Proposal is conditioned on the approval and adoption of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the Condition Precedent Approvals is not approved, the Domestication Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of ordinary shares.

Resolution

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as a special resolution, that the Company be de-registered in the Cayman Islands pursuant to Article 175 of the Amended and Restated Articles of Association of the Company (as amended) and be registered by way of continuation as a corporation in the State of Delaware.”

172

Recommendation of the ACE Board of Directors

THE ACE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT ACE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE DOMESTICATION PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of ACE’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of ACE and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself, or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, ACE’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section titled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of ACE’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

173

ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSALS

If the Domestication Proposal is approved and the Business Combination is to be consummated, ACE will replace the current Amended and Restated Memorandum of Association of ACE under the Cayman Islands Companies Act (the “Existing Memorandum”) and the current Amended and Restated Articles of Association of ACE (as may be amended from time to time) (the “Existing Articles” and, together with the Existing Memorandum, the “Cayman Constitutional Documents”), in each case, under the Cayman Islands Companies Act, with a proposed new certificate of incorporation (the “Proposed Certificate of Incorporation”) and proposed new bylaws (the “Proposed Bylaws” and, together with the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, the “Proposed Organizational Documents”) of New Tempo, in each case, under the DGCL.

ACE’s shareholders are asked to consider and vote upon and to approve by special resolution four separate proposals (collectively, the “Organizational Documents Proposals”) in connection with the replacement of the Cayman Constitutional Documents with the Proposed Organizational Documents, each to be effective upon the Domestication. The Organizational Documents Proposals are conditioned on the approval of the Domestication Proposal, and, therefore, also conditioned on approval of the Business Combination Proposal. Therefore, if the Business Combination Proposal and the Domestication Proposal are not approved, the Organizational Documents Proposals will have no effect, even if approved by holders of ordinary shares.

The Proposed Organizational Documents differ materially from the Cayman Constitutional Documents.

The following table sets forth a summary of the principal changes proposed between the Existing Memorandum and the Existing Articles and the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaws for New Tempo. This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the Cayman Constitutional Documents of ACE, attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex G, the complete text of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/ prospectus as Annex H and the complete text of the Proposed Bylaws, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex I. All shareholders are encouraged to read each of the Proposed Organizational Documents in its entirety for a more complete description of its terms. Additionally, as the Cayman Constitutional Documents are governed by the Cayman Islands Companies Act and the Proposed Organizational Documents will be governed by the DGCL, we encourage shareholders to carefully consult the information set out under the “Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights” section of this proxy statement/prospectus.

	Cayman Constitutional Documents	Proposed Organizational Documents
Authorized Shares (Organizational Documents Proposal A)	The Cayman Constitutional Documents authorize 555,000,000 shares, consisting of 500,000,000 ACE Class A ordinary shares, 50,000,000 ACE Class B ordinary shares and 5,000,000 preference shares. See paragraph 7 of the Existing Memorandum.	The Proposed Organizational Documents authorize 620,000,000 shares, consisting of 600,000,000 shares of New Tempo common stock and 20,000,000 shares of New Tempo preferred stock. See Article Fourth of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.
Authorize the Board of Directors to Issue Preferred Stock Without Stockholder Consent (Organizational Documents Proposal B)	The Cayman Constitutional Documents authorize the issuance of 5,000,000 preference shares with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by ACE’s board of directors. Accordingly, ACE’s board of directors is empowered under the Cayman Constitutional Documents, without shareholder approval, to issue preferred shares with dividend, liquidation, redemption, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of ordinary shares (except to the extent it may affect the ability of ACE to carry out a conversion of ACE Class B ordinary shares on the Closing Date, as contemplated by the Existing Articles).	The Proposed Organizational Documents authorize the Board to issue all or any shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix for each such series such voting powers, full or limited, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof, as the Board may determine. See Article Fourth, subsection (B) of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.

174

	Cayman Constitutional Documents	Proposed Organizational Documents
	See paragraph 7 of the Existing Memorandum and Articles 9 and 28 of the Existing Articles.
Classified Board (Organizational Documents Proposal C)	The Cayman Constitutional Documents do not contain a provision that provides the number of classes of ACE’s board of directors.	The Proposed Organizational Documents provide that the Board be divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term. See Article Fifth, subsection (A) of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.
Corporate Name (Organizational Documents Proposal D)	The Cayman Constitutional Documents provide that the name of the company is “ACE Convergence Acquisition Corp.” See paragraph 1 of the Existing Memorandum.	The Proposed Organizational Documents provide that the name of the corporation will be “Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc.” See Article First of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.
Perpetual Existence (Organizational Documents Proposal D)	The Cayman Constitutional Documents provide that if ACE does not consummate a business combination (as defined in the Cayman Constitutional Documents) by October 13, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), ACE will cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up and will redeem the public shares and liquidate ACE’s trust account. See Article 17 of the Cayman Constitutional Documents.	The Proposed Organizational Documents do not include any provisions relating to New Tempo’s ongoing existence; the default under the DGCL will make New Tempo’s existence perpetual. Default rule under the DGCL.
Exclusive Forum (Organizational Documents Proposal D)	The Cayman Constitutional Documents do not contain a provision adopting an exclusive forum for certain shareholder litigation.	The Proposed Organizational Documents adopt Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation. See Article Tenth of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.
Takeovers by Interested Stockholders (Organizational Documents Proposal D)	The Cayman Constitutional Documents do not provide restrictions on takeovers of ACE by a related shareholder following a business combination.	The Proposed Organizational Documents will have New Tempo governed by Section 203 of the DGCL relating to takeovers by interested stockholders. Default rule under the DGCL.
Provisions Related to Status as Blank Check Company (Organizational Documents Proposal D)	The Cayman Constitutional Documents include various provisions related to ACE’s status as a blank check company prior to the consummation of a business combination. See Article 17 of the Cayman Constitutional Documents.	The Proposed Organizational Documents do not include such provisions related to ACE’s status as a blank check company, which no longer will apply upon consummation of the Merger, as ACE will cease to be a blank check company at such time.
Exculpation of Directors and Officers (Organizational Documents Proposal D)	The Cayman Constitutional Documents provide that none of our directors or officers, nor any of their personal representatives, will be personally liable to	The Proposed Organizational Documents will provide that none of our directors or officers will be personally liable to us or our stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty to

the fullest extent such elimination of liability is permitted by the DGCL; provided that the Proposed Organizational Documents will not limit or eliminate the liability of any director or officer for, among other things, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law or from liability relating to transactions from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit. See Article Eighth of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.

Resolution

The full text of the resolution to be passed in connection with the replacement of the Cayman Constitutional Documents with the Proposed Organizational Documents is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as a special resolution, that the Cayman constitutional documents currently in effect be amended and restated by the deletion in their entirety and the substitution in their place of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaws (copies of which are attached to the proxy statement/ prospectus as Annex H and Annex I, respectively), with such principal changes as described in organizational documents proposals A-D.”

176

ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL A — APPROVAL OF AUTHORIZATION OF CHANGE TO AUTHORIZED CAPITAL STOCK, AS SET FORTH IN THE PROPOSED ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS

Overview

Organizational Documents Proposal A — to authorize the change in the authorized capital stock of ACE from (i) 500,000,000 ACE Class A ordinary shares, 50,000,000 ACE Class B ordinary shares and 5,000,000 preference shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of ACE (the “ACE Preferred Shares”) to (ii) 600,000,000 shares of New Tempo common stock and 20,000,000 shares of New Tempo preferred stock.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are (i) 3,945,298 ACE Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, (ii) 5,750,000 ACE Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding and (iii) no ACE Preferred Shares issued and outstanding. In addition, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there is an aggregate of (x) 11,500,000 public warrants and 6,600,000 private placement warrants of ACE, in each case, issued and outstanding. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement, the ACE warrants will be exercisable after giving effect to the Merger for one share of New Tempo common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. No ACE warrants are exercisable until the later of 30 days after the Closing or July 30, 2021.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, New Tempo will issue or, as applicable, reserve for issuance (a) 26,914,144 shares of New Tempo common stock (which includes a maximum of 7,000,000 earn-out shares of New Tempo common stock that may be paid in certain circumstances) and (b) 2,364,144 shares of New Tempo common stock issuable upon the exercise of the New Tempo Options resulting from the automatic conversion of Tempo Options into New Tempo Options, and (c) pursuant to the PIPE Investment, New Tempo will issue 1,050,000 shares of New Tempo common stock to the PIPE Investors (assuming no redemptions of public shares).

In order to ensure that New Tempo has sufficient authorized capital for future issuances, the disinterested members of ACE’s board of directors have approved, subject to stockholder approval, that the Proposed Organizational Documents of New Tempo change the authorized capital stock of ACE from (i) 500,000,000 ACE Class A ordinary shares, 50,000,000 ACE Class B ordinary shares and 5,000,000 ACE Preferred Shares to (ii) 600,000,000 shares of New Tempo common stock and 20,000,000 shares of New Tempo preferred stock.

This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the Proposed Organizational Documents of New Tempo, copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex H and Annex I. All shareholders are encouraged to read the Proposed Organizational Documents in their entirety for a more complete description of their terms.

Reasons for the Amendments

The principal purpose of this proposal is to provide for an authorized capital structure of New Tempo that will enable it to continue as an operating company governed by the DGCL. Our board of directors believes that it is important for us to have available for issuance a number of authorized shares of common stock and preferred stock sufficient to support our growth and to provide flexibility for future corporate needs.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of Organizational Documents Proposal A requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

Organizational Documents Proposal A is conditioned on the approval and adoption of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the Condition Precedent Approvals is not approved, the Organizational Documents Proposal A will have no effect, even if approved by holders of ordinary shares.

177

Recommendation of the ACE Board of Directors

THE ACE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT ACE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL A.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of ACE’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of ACE and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself, or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, ACE’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section titled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of ACE’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

178

ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL B — APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL REGARDING ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK OF NEW TEMPO AT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ SOLE DISCRETION, AS SET FORTH IN THE PROPOSED ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS

Overview

Organizational Documents Proposal B — to authorize the Board to issue any or all shares of New Tempo preferred stock in one or more classes or series, with such terms and conditions as may be expressly determined by New Tempo’s board of directors and as may be permitted by the DGCL.

Assuming the Business Combination Proposal and the Domestication Proposal are approved, our shareholders are also being asked to approve Organizational Documents Proposal B, which is, in the judgment of our board of directors, necessary to adequately address the needs of New Tempo after the Business Combination.

If Organizational Documents Proposal A is approved, the number of authorized shares of preferred stock of New Tempo will be 20,000,000 shares. Approval of this Organizational Documents Proposal B will allow for issuance of any or all of these shares of preferred stock from time to time at the discretion of the board of directors, as may be permitted by the DGCL, and without further stockholder action. The shares of preferred stock would be issuable for any proper corporate purpose, including, among other things, future acquisitions, capital raising transactions consisting of equity or convertible debt, stock dividends or issuances under current and any future stock incentive plans, pursuant to which we may provide equity incentives to employees, officers, and directors, and in certain instances may be used as an antitakeover defense.

This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the Proposed Organizational Documents of New Tempo, copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex H and Annex I. All shareholders are encouraged to read the Proposed Organizational Documents in their entirety for a more complete description of their terms.

Reasons for the Amendments

Our board of directors believes that these additional shares will provide us with needed flexibility to issue shares in the future in a timely manner and under circumstances we consider favorable without incurring the risk, delay and potential expense incident to obtaining stockholder approval for a particular issuance.

Authorized but unissued preferred stock may enable the board of directors to render it more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of New Tempo and thereby protect continuity of or entrench its management, which may adversely affect the market price of New Tempo and its securities. If, in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, for example, the board of directors was to determine that a takeover proposal was not in the best interests of New Tempo, such preferred stock could be issued by the board of directors without stockholder approval in one or more private placements or other transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or make more costly the completion of any attempted takeover transaction by diluting voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group, by creating a substantial voting bloc in institutional or other hands that might support the position of the board of directors, by effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover, or otherwise. Allowing New Tempo’s board of directors to issue the authorized preferred stock on its own volition will enable New Tempo to have the flexibility to issue such preferred stock in the future for financing its business, for acquiring other businesses, for forming strategic partnerships and alliances and for stock dividends and stock splits. New Tempo currently has no such plans, proposals, or arrangements, written or otherwise, to issue any of the additional authorized stock for such purposes.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of Organizational Documents Proposal B requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

Organizational Documents Proposal B is conditioned on the approval and adoption of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the Condition Precedent Approvals is not approved, the Organizational Documents Proposal B will have no effect, even if approved by holders of ordinary shares.

179

Recommendation of the ACE Board of Directors

THE ACE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT ACE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL B.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of ACE’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of ACE and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself, or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, ACE’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section titled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of ACE’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

180

ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL C — APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL REGARDING ESTABLISHMENT OF A CLASSIFIED BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Overview

Organizational Documents Proposal C — to provide that New Tempo’s board of directors be divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term.

Assuming the Business Combination Proposal and the Domestication Proposal are approved, our shareholders are also being asked to approve Organizational Documents Proposal C, which is, in the judgment of our board of directors, necessary to adequately address the needs of New Tempo after the Business Combination.

If Organizational Documents Proposal C is approved, New Tempo’s board of directors would reclassify. The term of office of the Class I directors will expire at the first annual meeting of stockholders following the initial classification of the board of directors and Class I directors will be elected for a full term of three years. At the second annual meeting of stockholders following such initial classification, the term of office of the Class II directors will expire and Class II directors will be elected for a full term of three years. At the third annual meeting of stockholders following such initial classification, the term of office of the Class III directors will expire and Class III directors will be elected for a full term of three years. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, directors will be elected for a full term of three years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting.

Subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law and subject to the special rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock to elect directors, any vacancy occurring in New Tempo for any reason, and any newly created directorship resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors, will be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (other than any directors elected by the separate vote of one or more outstanding series of New Tempo preferred stock), and not by the stockholders.

This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the Proposed Organizational Documents of New Tempo, copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex H and Annex I. All shareholders are encouraged to read the Proposed Organizational Documents in their entirety for a more complete description of their terms.

Reasons for the Amendments

Our board of directors believes that a classified board of directors in the best interest of New Tempo because it is designed to assure the continuity and stability of New Tempo’s leadership and policies by ensuring that at any given time a majority of the directors will have prior experience with New Tempo and, therefore, will be familiar with our business and operations. Our board of directors also believes that this classification will assist New Tempo in protecting the interests of stockholders in the event of an unsolicited offer for New Tempo by encouraging any potential acquirer to negotiate directly with New Tempo’s board of directors.

This proposal may increase the amount of time required for a takeover bidder to obtain control of New Tempo without the cooperation of New Tempo’s board of directors, even if the takeover bidder were to acquire a majority of the voting power of New Tempo’s outstanding voting stock. Without the ability to obtain immediate control of New Tempo’s board of directors, a takeover bidder will not be able to take action to remove other impediments to its acquisition of New Tempo. Thus, this amendment could discourage certain takeover attempts, perhaps including some takeovers that stockholders may feel would be in their best interests. Further, this amendment will make it more difficult for stockholders to change the majority composition of New Tempo’s board of directors, even if the stockholders believe such a change would be desirable. Because of the additional time required to change the control of New Tempo’s board of directors, this amendment could be viewed as tending to perpetuate present management.

Although this proposal could make it more difficult for a hostile bidder to acquire control over New Tempo, our board of directors believes that by forcing potential bidders to negotiate with New Tempo’s board of directors for a change of control transaction, New Tempo’s board of directors will be better able to maximize stockholder value in any change of control transaction.

Our board of directors is not aware of any present or threatened third-party plans to gain control of New Tempo, and this proposal is not being recommended in response to any such plan or threat. Rather, our board of directors is recommending this proposal as part of its review of New Tempo’s key governance mechanisms in connection with the Business Combination and to assist in assuring fair and equitable treatment for all of New Tempo’s stockholders in hostile takeover situations. The ACE board of directors has no present intention of soliciting a stockholder vote on any other proposals relating to a possible takeover of New Tempo.

181

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of Organizational Documents Proposal C requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

Organizational Documents Proposal C is conditioned on the approval and adoption of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the Condition Precedent Approvals is not approved, the Organizational Documents Proposal C will have no effect, even if approved by holders of ordinary shares.

Recommendation of the ACE Board of Directors

THE ACE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT ACE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL C.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of ACE’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of ACE and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself, or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, ACE’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section titled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of ACE’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

182

ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL D — APPROVAL OF OTHER CHANGES IN CONNECTION WITH ADOPTION OF THE PROPOSED ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS

Overview

Organizational Documents Proposal D — to authorize all other changes in connection with the replacement of Cayman Constitutional Documents with the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaws in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination (copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex H and Annex I, respectively), including (1) changing the corporate name from “ACE Convergence Acquisition Corp.” to “Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc.,” (2) making New Tempo’s corporate existence perpetual, (3) adopting Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation, (4) removing certain provisions related to ACE’s status as a blank check company that will no longer be applicable upon consummation of the Business Combination, all of which ACE’s board of directors believes is necessary to adequately address the needs of New Tempo after the Business Combination, (5) providing that no action shall be taken by stockholders of New Tempo, except at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, (6) removing limitations on the corporate opportunity doctrine, (7) requiring the approval of the holders of two-thirds of the then-outstanding capital stock of New Tempo to amend specified provisions of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, (8) requiring the approval of the Board or the holders of two-thirds of the then-outstanding capital stock of New Tempo to amend the Proposed Bylaws and (9) providing that none of our directors or officers will be personally liable to us or our stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty to the fullest extent such elimination of liability is permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Assuming the Business Combination Proposal and the Domestication Proposal are approved, our shareholders are also being asked to approve Organizational Documents Proposal D, which is, in the judgment of our board of directors, necessary to adequately address the needs of New Tempo after the Business Combination.

The Proposed Organizational Documents stipulate that the Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware, which we refer to as the “Court of Chancery,” be the sole and exclusive forum (or, in the event that the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring (i) any derivative action, suit or proceeding brought on New Tempo’s behalf, (ii) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or stockholder of New Tempo to New Tempo or New Tempo’s stockholders, (iii) any action, suit or proceeding arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation or the Proposed Bylaws (as either may be amended from time to time), (iv) any action, suit or proceeding as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery, or (v) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against New Tempo or any current or former director, officer or stockholder governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this choice of forum provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction, or the Securities Act. The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation further provides that, unless New Tempo consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act.

The Proposed Organizational Documents will not contain provisions related to a blank check company (including those related to operation of the trust account, winding up of ACE’s operations should ACE not complete a business combination by a specified date, and other such blank check-specific provisions as are present in the Cayman Constitutional Documents) because following the consummation of the Merger, New Tempo will not be a blank check company.

The Proposed Organizational Documents provide that none of our directors or officers will be personally liable to us or our stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty to the fullest extent such elimination of liability is permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a corporation may include in its certificate of incorporation a provision that limits or eliminates the personal liability of a director or officer for monetary damages to the corporation or its stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty, except that no such provision may limit or eliminate the liability of (i) any director or officer for any breach of the director’s or officer’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) any director or officer for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) any director under Section 174 of the DGCL; (iv) any director or officer for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit; or (v) any officer in any action by or in the right of the corporation. Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL also provides that no such provision shall eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when such provision becomes effective, and provides that an amendment, repeal or elimination of such a provision shall not affect its application with respect to an act or omission by a director or officer occurring before such amendment, repeal or elimination unless the provision provides otherwise at the time of such act or omission.

183

Approval of each of the Organizational Documents Proposals, assuming approval of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals, will result, upon the Domestication, in the wholesale replacement of the Cayman Constitutional Documents with New Tempo’s Proposed Organizational Documents. While certain material changes between the Cayman Constitutional Documents and the Proposed Organizational Documents have been unbundled into distinct organizational documents proposals or otherwise identified in this Organizational Documents Proposal D, there are other differences between the Cayman Constitutional Documents and Proposed Organizational Documents (arising from, among other things, differences between the Cayman Islands Companies Act and the DGCL and the typical form of organizational documents under each such body of law) that will be approved (subject to the approval of the aforementioned related proposals and consummation of the Business Combination) if our shareholders approve this Organizational Documents Proposal D. Accordingly, we encourage shareholders to carefully review the terms of the Proposed Organizational Documents of New Tempo, attached hereto as Annex H and Annex I as well as the information provided in the “Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights” section of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Reasons for the Amendments

Corporate Name

Our board of directors believes that changing the post-business combination corporate name from “ACE Convergence Acquisition Corp.” to “Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc.” is desirable to reflect the Business Combination with Tempo and to clearly identify New Tempo as the publicly traded entity.

Perpetual Existence

Our board of directors believes that making New Tempo’s corporate existence perpetual is desirable to reflect the Business Combination. Additionally, perpetual existence is the usual period of existence for public corporations, and our board of directors believes that it is the most appropriate period for New Tempo following the Business Combination.

Exclusive Forum

Adopting Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation is intended to assist New Tempo in avoiding multiple lawsuits in multiple jurisdictions regarding the same matter. The ability to require such claims to be brought in a single forum will help to assure consistent consideration of the issues, the application of a relatively known body of case law and level of expertise and should promote efficiency and cost-savings in the resolutions of such claims. Our board of directors believes that the Delaware courts are best suited to address disputes involving such matters given that after the Domestication, New Tempo will be incorporated in Delaware. Delaware law generally applies to such matters and the Delaware courts have a reputation for expertise in corporate law matters. Delaware offers a specialized Court of Chancery to address corporate law matters, with streamlined procedures and processes, which help provide relatively quick decisions. This accelerated schedule can minimize the time, cost and uncertainty of litigation for all parties. The Court of Chancery has developed considerable expertise with respect to corporate law issues, as well as a substantial and influential body of case law construing Delaware’s corporate law and long-standing precedent regarding corporate governance. This provides stockholders and the post-combination company with more predictability regarding the outcome of intra-corporate disputes. In the event the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the other state courts located in Delaware would be the most appropriate forums because these courts have more expertise on matters of Delaware law compared to other jurisdictions; provided that these exclusive forum provisions will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or to any claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation provides that, unless New Tempo consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. However, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, both state and federal courts have jurisdiction to entertain such claims. Due to the concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts created by Section 22 of the Securities Act over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce the exclusive forum provision. Investors also cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. See “Risk Factors — Additional Risks Related to Ownership of New Tempo Common Stock Following the Business Combination and New Tempo Operating as a Public Company — The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation will designate the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the federal district courts of the United States of America as the exclusive forums for certain disputes between New Tempo and its stockholders, which will restrict such stockholders’ ability to choose the judicial forum for disputes with New Tempo or its directors, officers, or employees”.

184

In addition, this amendment would promote judicial fairness and avoid conflicting results, as well as make the post-combination company’s defense of applicable claims less disruptive and more economically feasible, principally by avoiding duplicative discovery.

Charter and Bylaw Amendments

The Proposed Organizational Documents require the approval by affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of New Tempo’s then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote in an election of directors to make any amendment to New Tempo’s bylaws not approved by the Board. The Proposed Organizational Documents require the approval by affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of New Tempo’s then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote in an election of directors to make any amendment to certain provisions of New Tempo’s Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.

These provisions are intended to protect key provisions of the Proposed Bylaws and Proposed Certificate of Incorporation from arbitrary amendment and to prevent a simple majority of stockholders from taking actions that may be harmful to other stockholders or making changes to provisions that are intended to protect all stockholders.

Stockholder Action by Written Consent

Permitting stockholder action by written consent would circumvent the usual process of allowing deliberation at a meeting of stockholders, would be contrary to principles of openness and good governance, and would have the potential to inappropriately disenfranchise stockholders, potentially permitting a small group of short-term, special interest or self-interested stockholders, who together hold a threshold amount of shares, and who do not owe any fiduciary responsibilities to other stockholders, to take important actions without the involvement of, and with little or no advance notice to, New Tempo or other stockholders. Allowing stockholder action by written consent would also deny all stockholders the right to receive accurate and complete information on a proposal in advance and to present their opinions and consider presentation of the opinions of New Tempo’s board of directors and other stockholders on a proposal before voting on a proposed action. The ACE board of directors believes that a meeting of stockholders, which provides all stockholders an opportunity to deliberate about a proposed action and vote their shares, is the most appropriate forum for stockholder action.

Corporate Opportunity Doctrine

The “corporate opportunity” doctrine provides that directors and officers of a corporation, as part of their duty of loyalty to the corporation and its stockholders, generally have a fiduciary duty to disclose opportunities to the corporation that are related to its business and are prohibited from pursuing those opportunities unless the corporation determines that it is not going to pursue them. Section 122(17) of the DGCL expressly permits Delaware corporations, such as New Tempo, to renounce any interest or expectancy of the corporation in certain business opportunities. ACE’s Cayman Constitutional Documents currently provide that certain business opportunities are not subject to the “corporate opportunity” doctrine. The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation will be silent on the issue of the application of the doctrine of corporate opportunity.

Provisions Related to Status as Blank Check Company

The elimination of certain provisions related to ACE’s status as a blank check company is desirable because these provisions will serve no purpose following the Business Combination. For example, the Proposed Organizational Documents do not include the requirement to dissolve New Tempo and the default under the DGCL allows it to continue as a corporate entity with perpetual existence following consummation of the Business Combination. Perpetual existence is the usual period of existence for public corporations, and ACE’s board of directors believes it is the most appropriate period for New Tempo following the Business Combination. In addition, certain other provisions in ACE’s current certificate require that proceeds from ACE’s initial public offering be held in the trust account until a business combination or liquidation of ACE has occurred. These provisions cease to apply once the Business Combination is consummated and are therefore not included in the Proposed Organizational Documents.

Limitation of Liability of Directors and Officers

The ACE Board of Directors believes that authorizing the elimination of liability of directors and officers as contemplated by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL is desirable because it will help attract and retain highly-qualified persons to serve as directors and officers of New Tempo. In addition, based on the ACE Board of Directors’ review of current market practices, the Board of Directors believes that such provision is appropriate and consistent with current practices and recent updates to the DGCL.

185

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of Organizational Documents Proposal D requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

Organizational Documents Proposal D is conditioned on the approval and adoption of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the Condition Precedent Approvals is not approved, the Organizational Documents Proposal D will have no effect, even if approved by holders of ordinary shares.

Recommendation of the ACE Board of Directors

THE ACE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT ACE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL D.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of ACE’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of ACE and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself, or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, ACE’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section titled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of ACE’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

186

DIRECTOR ELECTION PROPOSAL

Overview

The Director Election Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal, assuming the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposals are approved, to elect directors who, upon consummation of the Business Combination, will be the directors of New Tempo (the “Director Election Proposal”). Under the Merger Agreement, the approval of the Domestication Proposal is also a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination.

Assuming the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal and each of the Organizational Documents Proposals are approved, ACE’s shareholders are also being asked to approve, by ordinary resolution, the Director Election Proposal, to be effective as of the Closing.

Nominees

As contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Board of New Tempo following consummation of the transaction will consist of up to six directors, which will initially consist of four directors that have been designated by Tempo (Joy Weiss, Ryan Benton, Jacqueline Schneider and Matthew Granade) and two directors that have been designated by ACE (Behrooz Abdi and Omid Tahernia), and the members of which will thereafter be designated, nominated and elected as contemplated by the Proposed Organizational Documents.

Accordingly, Tempo’s board of directors has nominated each of Joy Weiss, Ryan Benton, Behrooz Abdi, Jacqueline Schneider, Matthew Granade and Omid Tahernia to serve as directors on the Board upon the consummation of the Business Combination, with Behrooz Abdi to serve as the Chairperson of the Board, in each case, in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Proposed Organizational Documents. For more information on the experience of each of these director nominees, please see the section titled “Management of New Tempo Following the Business Combination” of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Under the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, we expect to have a classified Board following the Business Combination, with two directors in Class I (expected to be Jacqueline Schneider and Ryan Benton), two directors in Class II (expected to be Matthew Granade and Omid Tahernia) and two directors in Class III (expected to be Behrooz Abdi and Joy Weiss).

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Director Election Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

The Director Election Proposal is conditioned on the approval and adoption of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the Condition Precedent Approvals is not approved, the Director Election Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of ordinary shares.

188

STOCK ISSUANCE PROPOSAL

Overview

The Stock Issuance Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution, assuming the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposals and the Director Election Proposal are approved, for the purposes of complying with the applicable provisions of Rule 5635(a) of The Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rules, the issuance, or reservation for future issuance, of shares of New Tempo common stock to (a) the PIPE Investors pursuant to the PIPE Investment and (b) the Tempo Stockholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the “Stock Issuance Proposal”).

Assuming the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, each of the Organizational Documents Proposals and the Director Election Proposal are approved, ACE’s shareholders are also being asked to approve, by ordinary resolution, the Stock Issuance Proposal, to be effective prior to or substantially concurrently with the Closing.

Reasons for the Approval for Purposes of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a)(1), shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of common stock, or of securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, in connection with the acquisition of another company if such securities are not issued in a public offering for cash and (i) the common stock has, or will have upon issuance, voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of such securities (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock); or (ii) the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of the stock or securities. Additionally, under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b), shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities when the issuance or potential issuance will result in a change of control of the registrant. Although Nasdaq has not adopted any rule on what constitutes a “change of control” for purposes of Rule 5635(b), The Nasdaq Stock Market has previously indicated that the acquisition of, or right to acquire, by a single investor or affiliated investor group, as little as 20% of the common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) or voting power of an issuer could constitute a change of control.

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), shareholder approval is required for a transaction other than a public offering, involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by an issuer of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) at a price that is less than the lesser of the official Nasdaq closing price immediately before signing of the binding agreement and the average official Nasdaq closing price for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement of the stock if the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or may be equal to 20% or more of the common stock, or 20% or more of the voting power, outstanding before the issuance. If the Business Combination is completed pursuant to the Merger Agreement, ACE currently expects to issue an estimated 17,550,000 shares of New Tempo common stock (assuming that none of ACE’s outstanding public shares are redeemed), which includes (a) 16,500,000 shares of New Tempo common stock in connection with the Business Combination and (b) 1,050,000 shares of New Tempo common stock issuable in connection with the PIPE Investment. This amount excludes the Tempo Earnout Shares. For further details, see “Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement — Consideration — Aggregate Merger Consideration.”

Additionally, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a)(2), when a Nasdaq-listed company proposes to issue securities in connection with the acquisition of the stock or assets of another company, shareholder approval is required if any director, officer or substantial shareholder of such company has a 5% or greater interest, directly or indirectly, in such company or the assets to be acquired or in the consideration to be paid in the transaction or series of related transactions and the present or potential issuance of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) could result in an increase in outstanding shares of common stock or voting power of 5% or more. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(e)(3) defines a substantial stockholder as the holder of an interest of 5% or more of either the number of shares of common stock or the voting power outstanding of a Nasdaq-listed company. Because the Sponsor currently owns greater than 5% of ACE’s ordinary shares, the Sponsor is considered a substantial shareholder of ACE under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(e)(3). For this reason, ACE is seeking the approval of ACE shareholders for the issuance of shares of New Tempo common stock pursuant in connection with the PIPE Investment.

In the event that this proposal is not approved by ACE shareholders, the Business Combination cannot be consummated. In the event that this proposal is approved by ACE shareholders, but the Merger Agreement is terminated (without the Business Combination being consummated) prior to the issuance of shares of New Tempo common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the PIPE Investment, such shares of New Tempo common stock will not be issued.

189

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

The Stock Issuance Proposal is conditioned on the approval and adoption of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the Condition Precedent Approvals is not approved, the Stock Issuance Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of ordinary shares.

Resolution

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that, for the purposes of complying with the applicable provisions of Rule 5635 of the Nasdaq Rules, the issuance of shares of New Tempo common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the PIPE Investment, including to Tempo Stockholders and the PIPE Investors, be approved in all respects.”

Recommendation of the ACE Board of Directors

THE ACE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT ACE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE STOCK ISSUANCE PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of ACE’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of ACE and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, ACE’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section titled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of ACE’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN PROPOSAL

Overview

The Incentive Award Plan Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal, assuming the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposals, the Director Election Proposal and the Stock Issuance Proposal are approved, to approve the Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc. 2022 Incentive Award Plan (the “2022 Plan”) in the form attached hereto as Annex J and the material terms thereunder (the “Incentive Award Plan Proposal”). Our board of directors approved and adopted the 2022 Plan, subject to stockholder approval. The 2022 Plan will become effective as of the date on which it is approved by our stockholders.

Assuming the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposals, the Director Election Proposal and the Stock Issuance Proposal are approved, ACE’s shareholders are also being asked to approve, by ordinary resolution, the Incentive Award Plan Proposal.

Purpose of the 2022 Plan

The purpose of the 2022 Plan is to enhance New Tempo’s ability to attract, retain and motivate persons who make (or are expected to make) important contributions by providing these individuals with equity ownership opportunities and/or equity-linked compensatory opportunities. Equity awards and equity-linked compensatory opportunities are intended to motivate high levels of performance and align the interests of directors, employees and consultants with those of stockholders by giving directors, employees and consultants the perspective of an owner with an equity or equity-linked stake in our company and providing a means of recognizing their contributions to the New Tempo’s success. Our board of directors believes that equity ownership opportunities and/or equity-linked compensatory opportunities are necessary to remain competitive in its industry and are essential to recruiting and retaining the highly qualified employees who help us meet our goals.

Summary of the 2022 Plan

The following summarizes the material terms of the 2022 Plan. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the 2022 Plan, a copy of which is attached as Annex J to this proxy statement/prospectus. ACE urges the stockholders to carefully read the entire 2022 Plan before voting on this proposal.

Administration.  The 2022 Plan administrator will be our board of directors, or any committee to whom the board of directors delegates such power or authority. The plan administrator has full authority to take all actions and to make all determinations required or provided for under the 2022 Plan and any award granted thereunder. The plan administrator also has full authority to determine who may receive awards under the 2022 Plan, the type, terms, and conditions of an award, the number of shares of common stock subject to the award or to which an award relates, and to make any other determination and take any other action that the plan administrator deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the 2022 Plan.

Share Reserve.  The initial aggregate number of shares of our common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2022 Plan will be 12.0% of our fully-diluted shares of common stock as of the effective date of the Business Combination. Based on New Tempo’s anticipated common stock upon closing, this will be approximately             million shares of New Tempo common stock, assuming no redemptions, or           million shares of New Tempo common stock under the maximum redemption scenario. In addition, on the first day of each calendar year beginning on January 1, 2023 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2032, the number of shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan will be increased by a number of shares equal to the lesser of 4.0% of the aggregate shares outstanding as of December 31 of the immediately preceding calendar year and such lesser number of shares as is determined by the board of directors, subject to adjustment by the plan administrator in the event of certain changes in our corporate structure, as described below. The maximum number of shares that may be granted with respect to incentive stock options (“ISOs”), under the 2022 Plan (after taking into account each automatic increase to the number of shares available for issuance under the 2022 Plan) will be a number of shares of common stock equal to 75% of the outstanding number of shares of New Tempo common stock as of the effective date of the Business Combination.

If an award under the 2022 Plan is forfeited, expires, is settled for cash or is repurchased at or below the price paid by the participant for such shares, any shares subject to such award may, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration, cash settlement or repurchase, be used again or become available (as applicable) for new grants under the 2022 Plan. In addition, shares tendered or withheld to satisfy the exercise price or tax withholding obligation for any award granted under the 2022 Plan will again be or will

191

become (as applicable) available for grants under the 2022 Plan. The payment of dividend equivalents in cash in conjunction with any awards under the 2022 Plan will not reduce the shares available for grant under the 2022 Plan. However, the following shares may not be used again for grant under the 2022 Plan: (i) shares subject to stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the SAR on exercise, and (ii) shares purchased on the open market with the cash proceeds from the exercise of options.

Awards granted under the 2022 Plan upon the assumption of, or in substitution for, awards granted by an entity that merges or consolidates with us or our subsidiaries prior to such merger or consolidation will not reduce the shares available for grant under the 2022 Plan but will count against the maximum number of shares that may be issued upon the exercise of ISOs.

The 2022 Plan provides that the sum of any cash compensation and the aggregate grant date fair value (determined as of the date of the grant under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, or any successor thereto) of all awards granted to a non-employee director as compensation for services as a non-employee director during any fiscal year may not exceed $750,000.

Eligibility.   Our directors, employees and consultants, and employees and consultants of our subsidiaries, will be eligible to receive awards under the 2022 Plan; however, ISOs may only be granted to employees of us or our parent or subsidiary corporations. Following the Closing, the New Tempo is expected to have approximately six directors, 702 employees and 5 consultants who will be eligible to receive awards under the 2022 Plan.

Types of Awards.   The 2022 Plan allows for the grant of awards in the form of: (i) ISOs; (ii) non-qualified stock options (“NSOs”); (iii) SARs; (iv) restricted stock; (v) restricted stock units (“RSUs”); (vi) dividend equivalents; and (vii) other stock and cash based awards.

● Stock Options and SARs.   The plan administrator may determine the number of shares to be covered by each option and/or SAR, the exercise price and such other terms, conditions, and limitations applicable to the vesting, exercise, term, and forfeiture of each option and/or SAR as it deems necessary or advisable. Stock options provide for the purchase of shares of our common stock in the future at an exercise price set on the grant date. Options granted under the 2022 Plan may be either ISOs or NSOs. ISOs, in contrast to NSOs, may provide tax deferral beyond exercise and favorable capital gains tax treatment to their holders if certain holding period and other requirements of the Code are satisfied. SARs entitle their holder, upon exercise, to receive from us an amount equal to the appreciation of the shares subject to the award between the grant date and the exercise date. The exercise price of an option or SAR is determined by the plan administrator at the time of grant but shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value, or in the case of an employee who owns more than 10% of the Company, 110% of the fair market value on the day of such grant. Stock options and SARs may have a maximum term of ten years, or, in the case of ISOs, five years from the date of grant.

● Restricted Stock.   Restricted stock is an award of nontransferable shares of our common stock that are subject to certain vesting conditions and other restrictions. The plan administrator may determine the terms and conditions of restricted stock awards, including the number of shares awarded, the purchase price, if any, to be paid by the recipient, the time, if any, at which such restricted stock may be subject to forfeiture, the vesting schedule, if any, and any rights to acceleration thereof.

● RSUs.   RSUs are contractual promises to deliver cash or shares of our common stock in the future, which may also remain forfeitable unless and until specified conditions are met. The terms and conditions applicable to RSUs are determined by the plan administrator, subject to the conditions and limitations contained in the 2022 Plan.

● Other Stock or Cash Based Awards.   Other stock or cash based awards are awards of cash, fully vested shares of our common stock and other awards valued wholly or partially by referring to, or otherwise based on, shares of our common stock. Other stock or cash based awards may be granted to participants and may also be available as a payment form in the settlement of other awards, as standalone payments and as payment in lieu of compensation to which a participant is otherwise entitled.

● Dividend Equivalents.   Dividend equivalents represent the right to receive the equivalent value of dividends paid on shares of our common stock and may be granted alone or in tandem with awards other than stock options or SARs. Dividend equivalents are credited as of the dividend record dates during the period between the date an award is granted and the date such award vests, is exercised, is distributed or expires, as determined by the plan administrator.

192

Adjustments; Corporate Transactions.   In the event of certain changes in our corporate structure, including any dividend, distribution, combination, merger, recapitalization or other corporate transaction, the plan administrator may make appropriate adjustments to the terms and conditions of outstanding awards under the 2022 Plan to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or intended benefits under the 2022 Plan, to facilitate the transaction or event or to give effect to applicable changes in law or accounting standards. In addition, in the event of certain non-reciprocal transactions with our stockholders known as “equity restructurings,” the plan administrator will make equitable adjustments to the 2022 Plan and outstanding awards granted thereunder. In the event of a change in control (as defined in the 2022 Plan), to the extent that the surviving entity declines to continue, convert, assume, or replace outstanding awards, then all such awards will become fully vested and exercisable in connection with the transaction.

Repricings.   Stockholder approval will not be required to reduce the exercise price of any stock option or SAR, cancel any stock option or SAR with an exercise price that is less than the fair market value of a share of common stock in exchange for cash, or cancel any stock option or SAR in exchange for options, SARs or other awards with an exercise price per share that is less than the exercise price per share of the stock options or SARs for which such new stock options or SARS are exchanged.

Amendment and Termination.   The board of directors may amend, suspend, or terminate the 2022 Plan at any time; provided that no amendment (other than an amendment that increases the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2022 Plan) may materially and adversely affect any outstanding awards under the 2022 Plan without the affected participant’s consent. Stockholder approval will be required for any amendment to the 2022 Plan to increase the aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2022 Plan (other than due to adjustments as a result of corporate transactions), to the extent necessary to comply with applicable laws or for any amendment to increase the director limit. An ISO may not be granted under the 2022 Plan after ten (10) years from the earlier of the date the board of directors adopted the 2022 Plan or the date on which our shareholders approve the 2022 Plan.

Foreign Participants, Claw-Back Provisions and Transferability.   The plan administrator may modify award terms, establish subplans and/or adjust other terms and conditions of awards, subject to the share limits described above, in order to facilitate grants of awards subject to the laws and/or stock exchange rules of countries outside of the United States. All awards will be subject to any company claw-back policy as set forth in such claw-back policy or the applicable award agreement. Awards under the 2022 Plan are generally non-transferrable, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or, subject to the plan administrator’s consent, pursuant to a domestic relations order, and are generally exercisable only by the participant.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a general summary under current law of the principal United States federal income tax consequences related to awards under the 2022 Plan. This summary deals with the general federal income tax principles that apply and is provided only for general information. Some kinds of taxes, such as state, local and foreign income taxes, and federal employment taxes, are not discussed. This summary is not intended as tax advice to participants, who should consult their own tax advisors.

Non-Qualified Stock Options.   If an optionee is granted an NSO under the 2022 Plan, the optionee should not have taxable income on the grant of the option. Generally, the optionee should recognize ordinary income at the time of exercise in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares acquired on the date of exercise, less the exercise price paid for the shares. The optionee’s basis in our common stock for purposes of determining gain or loss on a subsequent sale or disposition of such shares generally will be the fair market value of our common stock on the date the optionee exercises such option. Any subsequent gain or loss will be taxable as a long-term or short-term capital gain or loss. We or our subsidiaries or affiliates generally should be entitled to a federal income tax deduction at the time and for the same amount as the optionee recognizes ordinary income.

Incentive Stock Options.   A participant receiving ISOs should not recognize taxable income upon grant or at the time of exercise. However, the excess of the fair market value of the shares of our common stock received over the option exercise price is an item of tax preference income potentially subject to the alternative minimum tax. If stock acquired upon exercise of an ISO is held for a minimum of two years from the date of grant and one year from the date of exercise and otherwise satisfies the ISO requirements, the gain or loss (in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value on the date of disposition and the exercise price) upon disposition of the stock will be treated as a long-term capital gain or loss, and we will not be entitled to any deduction. If the holding period requirements are not met, the ISO will be treated as one that does not meet the requirements of the Code for ISOs and the participant will recognize ordinary income at the time of the disposition equal to the excess of the amount realized over the exercise price, but not more than the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date the ISO is exercised over the exercise price, with any remaining gain or loss being treated as capital gain or capital loss. We and our subsidiaries or affiliates generally are not entitled

193

to a federal income tax deduction upon either the exercise of an ISO or upon disposition of the shares acquired pursuant to such exercise, except to the extent that the participant recognizes ordinary income on disposition of the shares.

Other Awards.   The current federal income tax consequences of other awards authorized under the 2022 Plan generally follow certain basic patterns: SARs are taxed and deductible in substantially the same manner as NSOs; nontransferable restricted stock subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture results in income recognition equal to the excess of the fair market value over the price paid, if any, only at the time the restrictions lapse (unless the recipient elects to accelerate recognition as of the date of grant through a Code Section 83(b) election); RSUs, dividend equivalents and other stock or cash based awards are generally subject to tax at the time of payment. We and our subsidiaries or affiliates generally should be entitled to a federal income tax deduction at the time and for the same amount as the optionee recognizes ordinary income.

Section 409A of the Code

Certain types of awards under the 2022 Plan may constitute, or provide for, a deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code. Unless certain requirements set forth in Section 409A of the Code are complied with, holders of such awards may be taxed earlier than would otherwise be the case (e.g., at the time of vesting instead of the time of payment) and may be subject to an additional 20% penalty tax (and, potentially, certain interest, penalties and additional state taxes). To the extent applicable, the 2022 Plan and awards granted under the 2022 Plan are intended to be structured and interpreted in a manner intended to either comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code and the Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance that may be issued under Section 409A of the Code. To the extent determined necessary or appropriate by the plan administrator, the 2022 Plan and applicable award agreements may be amended to further comply with Section 409A of the Code or to exempt the applicable awards from Section 409A of the Code.

New Plan Benefits

The benefits or amounts that may be received or allocated to participants under the 2022 Plan will be determined at the discretion of the plan administrator and are not currently determinable. The closing price of our Class A ordinary shares as of August 31, 2022, was $10.20 per share.

Interests of ACE’s Directors and Officers in the Incentive Award Plan Proposal

When you consider the recommendation of the ACE board of directors in favor of approval of the 2022 Plan, you should keep in mind that certain of ACE’s directors and executive officers have interests in the 2022 Plan that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. For more information about the interests of ACE’s directors and executive officers in the Business Combination, see the section titled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of ACE’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination.”

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Incentive Award Plan Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

The Incentive Award Plan Proposal is conditioned on the approval and adoption of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the Incentive Award Plan Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of ordinary shares.

Resolution

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that the 2022 Plan, including the authorization of the initial share reserve under the 2022 Plan, be approved in all respects.”

194

Recommendation of the ACE Board of Directors

THE ACE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT ACE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of ACE’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of ACE and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself, or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, ACE’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section titled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of ACE’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

195

ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

The Adjournment Proposal allows ACE’s board of directors to submit a proposal, to be effective as of the date of the extraordinary general meeting, to approve, by ordinary resolution, the adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the extraordinary general meeting to approve the Condition Precedent Proposals. The purpose of the Adjournment Proposal is to permit further solicitation of proxies and votes and to provide additional time for the Sponsor and New Tempo and their respective stockholders to make purchases of ordinary shares or other arrangements that would increase the likelihood of obtaining a favorable vote on the proposals to be put to the extraordinary general meeting. See “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of ACE’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination.”

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Adjournment Proposal is presented to the extraordinary general meeting and is not approved by the shareholders, ACE’s board of directors may not be able to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date in the event that, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the extraordinary general meeting to approve the Condition Precedent Proposals. In such events, the Business Combination would not be completed.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon any other proposal.

Resolution

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that the adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for the approval of one or more proposals at the extraordinary general meeting be approved.”

Recommendation of the ACE Board of Directors

THE ACE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT ACE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of ACE’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of ACE and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, ACE’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section titled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of ACE’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a discussion of U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to holders of ACE Class A ordinary shares and warrants of the Domestication and exercise of redemption rights. This section applies only to ACE shareholders that hold their ACE Class A ordinary shares or warrants as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to holders in light of their particular circumstances or status including:

● financial institutions or financial services entities;

● broker-dealers;

● taxpayers that are subject to the mark-to-market accounting rules;

● tax-exempt entities;

● governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

● insurance companies;

● regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;

● expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;

● persons that actually or constructively own five percent or more of our voting shares or five percent or more of the total value of all classes of our shares, except as specifically discussed under the caption heading “— Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders”;

● persons that acquired our securities pursuant to an exercise of employee share options or upon payout of a restricted stock unit, in connection with employee share incentive plans or otherwise as compensation;

● persons that hold our securities as part of a straddle, constructive sale, hedging, conversion or other integrated or similar transaction;

● persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

● controlled foreign corporations; or

● passive foreign investment companies.

This discussion is based on the Code, proposed, temporary and final Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code, and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, all as of the date hereof. All of the foregoing is subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and could affect the tax considerations described herein. This discussion does not address U.S. federal taxes other than those pertaining to U.S. federal income taxation (such as estate or gift taxes, the alternative minimum tax or the Medicare tax on investment income), nor does it address any aspects of U.S. state or local or non-U.S. taxation.

We have not and do not intend to seek any rulings from the IRS regarding the Domestication or an exercise of redemption rights. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not take positions inconsistent with the considerations discussed below or that any such positions would not be sustained by a court.

This discussion does not consider the tax treatment of partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons who hold our securities through such entities. If a partnership (or any entity or arrangement so characterized for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds ACE Class A ordinary shares or warrants, the tax treatment of such partnership and a person treated as a partner of such partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding any ACE

197

Class A ordinary shares or warrants and persons that are treated as partners of such partnerships should consult their tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication and an exercise of redemption rights to them.

EACH HOLDER SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH HOLDER OF THE DOMESTICATION, AN EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS AND THE MERGER, INCLUDING THE EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS.

U.S. HOLDERS

As used herein, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of ACE Class A ordinary shares or warrants who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

● an individual citizen or resident of the United States,

● a corporation (or other entity that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is created or organized (or treated as created or organized) in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia,

● an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source, or

● a trust if (1) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) it has a valid election in place to be treated as a U.S. person.

Effects of the Domestication to U.S. Holders

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication will depend primarily upon whether the domestication qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code.

Under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, a reorganization is a “mere change in identity, form, or place of organization of one corporation, however effected” (an “F Reorganization”). Pursuant to the Domestication, ACE will change its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware.

Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP has delivered an opinion that the Domestication will qualify as an F Reorganization. Such opinion is filed by amendment as Exhibit 8.1 to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms part and is based on customary assumptions, representations and covenants. If any of the assumptions, representations or covenants on which the opinion is based is or becomes incorrect, incomplete, inaccurate or is otherwise not complied with, the validity of the opinion described above may be adversely affected and the tax consequences of the Domestication could differ from those described herein. An opinion of counsel is not binding on the IRS or any court, and there can be no certainty that the IRS will not challenge the conclusions reflected in the opinion or that a court would not sustain such a challenge.

Assuming the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization, U.S. Holders of ACE Class A ordinary shares or warrants will generally not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes on the Domestication, except as provided below under the caption headings “— Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders” and “— PFIC Considerations,” and the Domestication will generally be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as if ACE (i) transferred all of its assets and liabilities to New Tempo in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock and warrants of New Tempo; and (ii) then distributed the common stock and warrants of New Tempo to the holders of securities of ACE in liquidation of ACE. The taxable year of ACE will be deemed to end on the date of the Domestication. The remaining discussion under this section assumes that the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization.

Because the Domestication will occur immediately prior to the redemption of U.S. Holders that exercise redemption rights with respect to ACE Class A ordinary shares, U.S. Holders exercising such redemption rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of the Domestication. All holders considering exercising redemption rights with respect to their public shares are urged to consult with their tax advisors with respect to the potential tax consequences to them of the Domestication and exercise of redemption rights.

198

Basis and Holding Period Considerations

Assuming the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization: (i) the tax basis of a share of New Tempo common stock or warrant received by a U.S. Holder in the Domestication will generally equal the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the ACE Class A ordinary share or warrant surrendered in exchange therefor, increased by any amount included in the income of such U.S. Holder as a result of Section 367 of the Code (as discussed below) and (ii) the holding period for a share of New Tempo common stock or warrant received by a U.S. Holder will generally include such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the ACE Class A ordinary share or warrant surrendered in exchange therefor.

Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders

Section 367 of the Code applies to certain transactions involving foreign corporations, including a domestication of a foreign corporation in an F Reorganization. Section 367 of the Code imposes United States federal income tax on certain United States persons in connection with transactions that would otherwise be tax-free. Section 367(b) of the Code will generally apply to U.S. Holders on the date of the Domestication. Because the Domestication will occur immediately prior to the redemption of holders that exercise redemption rights with respect to ACE Class A ordinary shares, U.S. Holders exercising such redemption rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of Section 367 of the Code as a result of the Domestication.

A. “U.S. Shareholders” of ACE

A U.S. Holder who, on the date of the Domestication beneficially owns (actually or constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of ACE stock entitled to vote or 10% or more of the total value of all classes of ACE stock (a “U.S. Shareholder”) must include in income as a dividend the “all earnings and profits amount” attributable to the ACE Class A ordinary shares it directly owns, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code. A U.S. Holder’s ownership of ACE warrants will be taken into account in determining whether such U.S. Holder is a U.S. Shareholder. Complex attribution rules apply in determining whether a U.S. Holder is a U.S. Shareholder and all U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to these attribution rules.

A U.S. Shareholder’s all earnings and profits amount with respect to its ACE Class A ordinary shares is the net positive earnings and profits of ACE (as determined under Treasury Regulations under Section 367) attributable to such ACE Class A ordinary shares (as determined under Treasury Regulations under Section 367) but without regard to any gain that would be realized on a sale or exchange of such ACE Class A ordinary shares. Treasury Regulations under Section 367 provide that the all earnings and profits amount attributable to a shareholder’s stock is determined according to the principles of Section 1248 of the Code. In general, Section 1248 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder provide that the amount of earnings and profits attributable to a block of stock (as defined in Treasury Regulations under Section 1248 of the Code) in a foreign corporation is the ratably allocated portion of the foreign corporation’s earnings and profits generated during the period the shareholder held the block of stock.

ACE does not expect to have significant, if any, cumulative net earnings and profits on the date of the Domestication. If ACE’s cumulative net earnings and profits through the date of the Domestication is less than or equal to zero, then a U.S. Holder should not be required to include in gross income an all earnings and profits amount with respect to its ACE Class A ordinary shares. It is possible, however, that the amount of ACE’s cumulative net earnings and profits may be greater than expected through the date of the Domestication in which case a U.S. Shareholder would be required to include all of its earnings and profits amount in income as a deemed dividend under Treasury Regulations under Section 367 as a result of the Domestication.

B. U.S. Holders that Own Less Than 10 Percent of ACE

A U.S. Holder who, on the date of the Domestication, beneficially owns (actually or constructively) ACE Class A ordinary shares with a fair market value of $50,000 or more and is not a U.S. Shareholder will recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to its Class A ordinary shares in the Domestication or, in the alternative, may elect to recognize the “all earnings and profits” amount attributable to such holder’s ACE Class A ordinary shares as described below.

Unless a U.S. Holder makes the “all earnings and profits election” as described below, such U.S. Holder generally must recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to New Tempo common stock received in the Domestication in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of such New Tempo common stock over the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the ACE Class A ordinary shares deemed surrendered in exchange therefor.

199

In lieu of recognizing any gain as described in the preceding paragraph, a U.S. Holder may elect to include in income the all earnings and profits amount attributable to its ACE Class A ordinary shares under Section 367(b). There are, however, strict conditions for making this election. This election must comply with applicable Treasury Regulations and generally must include, among other things:

(i) a statement that the Domestication is a Section 367(b) exchange (within the meaning of the applicable Treasury Regulations);

(ii) a complete description of the Domestication;

(iii) a description of any stock, securities or other consideration transferred or received in the Domestication;

(iv) a statement describing the amounts required to be taken into account for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

(v) a statement that the U.S. Holder is making the election that includes (A) a copy of the information that the U.S. Holder received from ACE establishing and substantiating the U.S. Holder’s all earnings and profits amount with respect to the U.S. Holder’s ACE Class A ordinary shares and (B) a representation that the U.S. Holder has notified ACE (or New Tempo) that the U.S. Holder is making the election; and

(vi) certain other information required to be furnished with the U.S. Holder’s tax return or otherwise furnished pursuant to the Code or the Treasury Regulations.

In addition, the election must be attached by an electing U.S. Holder to such U.S. Holder’s timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the year of the Domestication, and the U.S. Holder must send notice of making the election to ACE or New Tempo no later than the date such tax return is filed. In connection with this election, ACE intends to provide each U.S. Holder eligible to make such an election with information regarding ACE’s earnings and profits upon request.

ACE does not expect to have significant, if any, cumulative earnings and profits through the date of the Domestication and if that proves to be the case, U.S. Holders who make this election are not expected to have a significant income inclusion under Section 367(b) of the Code, provided that the U.S. Holder properly executes the election and complies with the applicable notice requirements. However, as noted above, if it were determined that ACE had positive earnings and profits through the date of the Domestication, a U.S. Holder that makes the election described herein could have an all earnings and profits amount with respect to its ACE Class A ordinary shares, and thus could be required to include that amount in income as a deemed dividend under applicable Treasury Regulations as a result of the Domestication.

EACH U.S. HOLDER IS URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISOR REGARDING WHEN AND WHETHER TO MAKE THIS ELECTION AND, IF THE ELECTION IS DETERMINED TO BE ADVISABLE, THE APPROPRIATE FILING REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO THIS ELECTION AND THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF MAKING AN ELECTION.

C. U.S. Holders that Own ACE Class A Ordinary Shares with a Fair Market Value of Less Than $50,000

A U.S. Holder who, on the date of the Domestication, beneficially owns (actually or constructively) ACE Class A ordinary shares with a fair market value less than $50,000 will generally not be required to recognize any gain or loss under Section 367 of the Code in connection with the Domestication, and will generally not be required to include any part of the all earnings and profits amount in income.

Tax Consequences for U.S. Holders of Warrants

Subject to the considerations described above relating to a U.S. Holder’s ownership of warrants being taken into account in determining whether such U.S. Holder is a U.S. Shareholder for purposes of Section 367(b) of the Code, and the considerations described below relating to PFIC considerations, a U.S. Holder of warrants should not be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to the exchange of warrants for newly issued warrants in the Domestication.

200

ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE EFFECT OF SECTION 367 OF THE CODE TO THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

PFIC Considerations

In addition to the discussion under the heading “— Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders” above, the Domestication could be a taxable event to U.S. Holders under the PFIC provisions of the Code.

A. Definition of a PFIC

A foreign (i.e., non-U.S.) corporation will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes if either (i) at least 75% of its gross income in a taxable year, including its pro rata share of the gross income of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, is passive income or (ii) at least 50% of its assets in a taxable year (generally determined based on fair market value and averaged quarterly over the year) are held for the production of, or produce, passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of passive assets. For purposes of these rules, interest income earned by ACE would be considered to be passive income and cash held by ACE would be considered to be a passive asset.

B. PFIC Status of ACE

Based upon the composition of its income and assets, and upon a review of its financial statements, ACE believes that it likely was a PFIC for its most recent taxable year ended on December 31, 2020 and will likely be considered a PFIC for its current taxable year which ends as a result of the Domestication.

C. Effects of PFIC Rules on the Domestication

As discussed above, ACE believes that it is likely classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Section 1291(f) of the Code requires that, to the extent provided in Treasury Regulations, a United States person who disposes of stock of a PFIC (including for this purpose exchanging warrants for newly issued warrants in the Domestication) recognizes gain notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. No final Treasury Regulations are currently in effect under Section 1291(f) of the Code. However, proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code have been promulgated with a retroactive effective date. If finalized in their current form, those proposed Treasury Regulations may require gain recognition to U.S. Holders of ACE Class A ordinary shares and warrants upon the Domestication if:

(i) ACE was classified as a PFIC at any time during such U.S. Holder’s holding period in such ACE Class A ordinary shares or warrants, and

(ii) the U.S. Holder had not timely made (a) a QEF Election (as defined below) for the first taxable year in which the U.S. Holder owned such ACE Class A ordinary shares or in which ACE was a PFIC, whichever is later (or a QEF Election along with a purging election), or (b) a mark-to-market election (as defined below) with respect to such ACE Class A ordinary shares. Generally, regulations provide that neither election applies to warrants. The tax on any such recognized gain would be imposed based on a complex set of computational rules designed to offset the tax deferral with respect to the undistributed earnings of ACE.

Under these rules:

● the U.S. Holder’s gain will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for such U.S. Holder’s ACE Class A ordinary shares or warrants;

● the amount of gain allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the U.S. Holder recognized the gain, or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holding period before the first day of the first taxable year in which ACE was a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income;

● the amount of gain allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in such U.S. Holder’s holding period would be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. Holder; and

201

● an additional tax equal to the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the U.S. Holder in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of such U.S. Holder.

Any “all earnings and profits amount” included in income by a U.S. Holder as a result of the Domestication (discussed under the heading “— Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders” above) would generally be treated as gain subject to these rules.

It is difficult to predict whether, in what form and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code may be adopted or how any such Treasury Regulations would apply. Therefore, U.S. Holders of ACE Class A ordinary shares that have not made a timely QEF Election (or a QEF Election along with a purging election) or a mark-to-market election (each as defined below) may, pursuant to the proposed Treasury Regulations, be subject to taxation under the PFIC rules on the Domestication with respect to their ACE Class A ordinary shares and warrants under the PFIC rules in the manner set forth above. An Electing Shareholder (as defined below) would generally not be subject to the adverse PFIC rules discussed above with respect to their ACE Class A ordinary shares but rather would include annually in gross income its pro rata share of the ordinary earnings and net capital gain of ACE, whether or not such amounts are actually distributed.

The application of the PFIC rules to ACE warrants is unclear. A proposed Treasury Regulation issued under the PFIC rules generally treats an “option” (which would include an ACE warrant) to acquire the stock of a PFIC as stock of the PFIC, while a final Treasury Regulation issued under the PFIC rules provides that the QEF Election does not apply to options and no mark-to-market election (as defined below) is currently available with respect to options. Therefore, it is possible that the proposed Treasury Regulations, if finalized in their current form, would apply to cause gain recognition on the exchange of ACE warrants for New Tempo warrants pursuant to the Domestication.

Any gain recognized by a U.S. Holder of ACE Class A ordinary shares or warrants as a result of the Domestication pursuant to PFIC rules would be taxable income to such U.S. Holder, taxed under the PFIC rules in the manner set forth above, with no corresponding receipt of cash.

ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE EFFECTS OF THE PFIC RULES ON THE DOMESTICATION, INCLUDING THE IMPACT OF ANY PROPOSED OR FINAL TREASURY REGULATIONS.

D. QEF Election and Mark-to-Market Election

The impact of the PFIC rules on a U.S. Holder of ACE Class A ordinary shares (but not warrants) will depend on whether the U.S. Holder has made a timely and effective election to treat ACE as a “qualified electing fund” under Section 1295 of the Code for the taxable year that is the first year in the U.S. Holder’s holding period of ACE Class A ordinary shares during which ACE qualified as a PFIC (a “QEF Election”) or, if in a later taxable year, the U.S. Holder made a QEF Election along with a purging election. A purging election creates a deemed sale of the U.S. Holder’s ACE Class A ordinary shares at their then fair market value and requires the U.S. Holder to recognize gain pursuant to the purging election subject to the special PFIC tax and interest charge rules described above. As a result of any such purging election, the U.S. Holder would have a new basis and holding period in its ACE Class A ordinary shares. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the application of the rules governing purging elections to their particular circumstances.

A U.S. Holder’s ability to make a QEF Election (or a QEF Election along with a purging election) with respect to ACE is contingent upon, among other things, the provision by ACE of a “PFIC Annual Information Statement” to such U.S. Holder. If ACE determines that it is a PFIC for any taxable year, it will endeavor to provide PFIC Annual Information Statements to U.S. Holders of ACE Class A ordinary shares, upon request. There is no assurance, however, that ACE will timely provide such information. A U.S. Holder that made a QEF Election (or a QEF Election along with a purging election) may be referred to as an “Electing Shareholder” and a U.S. Holder that did not make a QEF Election may be referred to as a “Non-Electing Shareholder.” As discussed further above, a U.S. Holder is not able to make a QEF Election with respect to ACE warrants.

The impact of the PFIC rules on a U.S. Holder of ACE Class A ordinary shares may also depend on whether the U.S. Holder has made an election under Section 1296 of the Code. U.S. Holders who hold (actually or constructively) stock of a foreign corporation that is classified as a PFIC may annually elect to mark such stock to its market value if such stock is “marketable stock,” meaning, generally, stock that is regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the SEC, including Nasdaq, or on a foreign exchange or market that the IRS determines has rules sufficient to ensure that the market price represents a legitimate and sound fair market value (a “mark-to-market election”). No assurance can be given that the ACE Class A ordinary shares are

202

considered to be marketable stock for purposes of the mark-to-market election or whether the other requirements of this election are satisfied. If such an election is available and has been made, such U.S. Holders will generally not be subject to the special taxation rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed herein. However, if the mark-to-market election is made by a Non-Electing Shareholder after the beginning of its holding period for the PFIC stock, then the Section 1291 rules will apply to certain dispositions of, distributions on and other amounts taxable with respect to Class A ordinary shares. A mark-to-market election is not available with respect to warrants.

THE RULES DEALING WITH PFICS ARE VERY COMPLEX AND ARE IMPACTED BY VARIOUS FACTORS IN ADDITION TO THOSE DESCRIBED ABOVE. ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE PFIC RULES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WHETHER A QEF ELECTION (OR A QEF ELECTION ALONG WITH A PURGING ELECTION), A MARK-TO-MARKET ELECTION OR ANY OTHER ELECTION IS AVAILABLE AND THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF ANY SUCH ELECTION, AND THE IMPACT OF ANY PROPOSED OR FINAL PFIC TREASURY REGULATIONS.

Effects to U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights

The U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder of ACE Class A ordinary shares (which were exchanged for New Tempo common stock in the Domestication) that exercises its redemption rights to receive cash from the trust account in exchange for all or a portion of its New Tempo common stock will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of New Tempo’s common stock redeemed under Section 302 of the Code or is treated as a distribution under Section 301 of the Code. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of such U.S. Holder’s New Tempo common stock redeemed, such U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or capital loss equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in New Tempo’s common stock redeemed.

The redemption of New Tempo common stock will generally qualify as a sale of New Tempo’s common stock redeemed if such redemption (i) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the redeeming U.S. Holder, (ii) results in a “complete termination” of such U.S. Holder’s interest in us or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to such U.S. Holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

For purposes of such tests, a U.S. Holder takes into account not only New Tempo common stock actually owned by such U.S. Holder, but also shares of New Tempo common stock that are constructively owned by such U.S. Holder. A redeeming U.S. Holder may constructively own, in addition to New Tempo common stock owned directly, New Tempo common stock owned by certain related individuals and entities in which such U.S. Holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. Holder, as well as any New Tempo common stock such U.S. Holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include New Tempo common stock which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the warrants.

The redemption of New Tempo common stock will generally be “substantially disproportionate” with respect to a redeeming U.S. Holder if the percentage of New Tempo outstanding voting shares that such U.S. Holder actually or constructively owns immediately after the redemption is less than 80 percent of the percentage of New Tempo outstanding voting shares that such U.S. Holder actually or constructively owned immediately before the redemption. There will be a complete termination of such U.S. Holder’s interest if either (i) all of New Tempo’s common stock actually or constructively owned by such U.S. Holder is redeemed or (ii) all of New Tempo’s common stock actually owned by such U.S. Holder is redeemed and such U.S. Holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of New Tempo’s common stock owned by certain family members and such U.S. Holder does not constructively own any other New Tempo shares. The redemption of New Tempo common stock will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if it results in a “meaningful reduction” of such U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in New Tempo. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in such U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest will depend on the particular facts and circumstances applicable to it. The IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority shareholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.”

If none of the above tests is satisfied, a redemption will be treated as a distribution with respect to New Tempo’s common stock. Such distribution will generally be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent the distribution is paid out of New Tempo’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Distributions in excess of any such earnings and profits will generally be applied against and reduce the U.S. Holder’s basis in its other New Tempo common stock (but not below zero) and, to the extent in excess of such basis, will be treated as capital gain from the sale or exchange

203

of such redeemed shares. After the application of those rules, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. Holder in New Tempo’s common stock redeemed will generally be added to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining New Tempo common stock, or, if it has none, to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its warrants or possibly in other New Tempo common stock constructively owned by such U.S. Holder.

Because the Domestication will occur immediately prior to the redemption of U.S. Holders that exercise redemption rights, U.S. Holders exercising redemption rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of Section 367 of the Code as a result of the Domestication (discussed further above).

ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF A REDEMPTION OF ALL OR A PORTION OF THEIR NEW TEMPO COMMON STOCK PURSUANT TO AN EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS.

NON-U.S. HOLDERS

As used herein, a “non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner (other than a partnership or entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of public shares or warrants that is not a U.S. Holder.

Effects of the Domestication to Non-U.S. Holders

We do not expect the Domestication to result in any U.S. federal income tax consequences to non-U.S. Holders of New Tempo common stock and warrants.

The following describes U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the ownership and disposition of New Tempo common stock and warrants by a non-U.S. Holder after the Domestication.

Distributions

In general, any distributions made to a non-U.S. Holder with respect to New Tempo common stock, to the extent paid out of New Tempo’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, provided such dividends are not effectively connected with such non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by such non-U.S. Holder), will be subject to withholding tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of 30%, unless such non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable). Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its New Tempo common stock and then, to the extent such distribution exceeds the non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of such New Tempo common stock, which will be treated as described under “— Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of New Tempo common stock and Warrants” below.

Dividends paid by New Tempo to a non-U.S. Holder that are effectively connected with such non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by such non-U.S. Holder) will generally not be subject to U.S. withholding tax, provided such non-U.S. Holder complies with certain certification and disclosure requirements (usually by providing an IRS Form W-8ECI). Instead, such dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax, net of certain deductions, at the same graduated individual or corporate rates applicable to U.S. Holders. If the non-U.S. Holder is a corporation, dividends that are effectively connected income may also be subject to a “branch profits tax” at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty).

204

Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of New Tempo common stock and Warrants

A non-U.S. Holder will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on gain realized on a sale or other disposition of New Tempo common stock or warrants unless:

(i) such non-U.S. Holder is an individual who was present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of such disposition and certain other requirements are met, in which case any gain realized will generally be subject to a flat 30% U.S. federal income tax;

(ii) the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business of such non-U.S. Holder in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by such non-U.S. Holder), in which case such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax, net of certain deductions, at the same graduated individual or corporate rates applicable to U.S. Holders, and any such gain of a non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation may be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty); or

(iii) New Tempo is or has been a U.S. real property holding corporation at any time during the shorter of the five-year period preceding such disposition and such non-U.S. Holder’s holding period and either (A) New Tempo’s common stock has ceased to be regularly traded on an established securities market or (B) such non-U.S. Holder has owned or is deemed to have owned, at any time during the shorter of the five-year period preceding such disposition and such non-U.S. Holder’s holding period, more than 5% of outstanding New Tempo common stock.

If the third bullet point above applies to a non-U.S. Holder, gain recognized by such non-U.S. holder on the sale, exchange or other disposition of New Tempo common stock or warrants will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, a buyer of such New Tempo common stock or warrants from a non-U.S. Holder may be required to withhold U.S. income tax at a rate of 15% of the amount realized upon such disposition. We will be classified as a U.S. real property holding corporation if the fair market value of our “United States real property interests” equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of our worldwide real property interests and our other assets used or held for use in a trade or business, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. New Tempo does not expect to be classified as a U.S. real property holding corporation immediately following the Business Combination. However, such determination is factual in nature and subject to change and no assurance can be provided as to whether New Tempo will be a U.S. real property holding corporation with respect to a non-U.S. holder following the Business Combination or at any future time.

Effects to Non-U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights

The U.S. federal income tax consequences to a non-U.S. Holder of New Tempo common stock that exercises its redemption rights to receive cash from the trust account in exchange for all or a portion of its New Tempo common stock will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of New Tempo’s common stock redeemed, as described above under “U.S. Holders — Effects to U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights.” If such a redemption qualifies as a sale of New Tempo common stock, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to the non-U.S. Holder will be as described above under “Non-U.S. Holders — Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of New Tempo common stock and Warrants.” If such a redemption does not qualify as a sale of New Tempo common stock, the non-U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a distribution, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of which are described above under “Non-U.S. Holders — Distributions.” Because the treatment of a redemption may not be certain or determinable at the time of redemption, redeemed non-U.S. Holders may be subject to withholding tax on the gross amount received in such redemption. Non-U.S. Holders may be exempt from such withholding tax if they are able to properly certify that they meet the requirements of an applicable exemption (e.g., because such non-U.S. Holders are not treated as receiving a dividend under the Section 302 tests described above under “U.S. Holders — Effects to U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights”).

205

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance promulgated thereunder (commonly referred as the “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act” or “FATCA”) generally impose withholding at a rate of 30% in certain circumstances on dividends in respect of securities (including New Tempo common stock or warrants) which are held by or through certain foreign financial institutions (including investment funds), unless any such institution (i) enters into, and complies with, an agreement with the IRS to report, on an annual basis, information with respect to interests in, and accounts maintained by, the institution that are owned by certain U.S. persons and by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly or partially owned by U.S. persons and to withhold on certain payments, or (ii) if required under an intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country, reports such information to its local tax authority, which will exchange such information with the U.S. authorities. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify these requirements. Accordingly, the entity through which New Tempo common stock or warrants are held will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. Similarly, dividends in respect of New Tempo common stock or warrants held by an investor that is a non-financial non-U.S. entity that does not qualify under certain exceptions will generally be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%, unless such entity either (i) certifies to the applicable withholding agent that such entity does not have any “substantial United States owners” or (ii) provides certain information regarding the entity’s “substantial United States owners,” which will in turn be provided to the U.S. Department of Treasury.

All holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA on their investment in New Tempo common stock or warrants.

The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On July 30, 2020, the Company consummated its IPO, generating gross proceeds of $230.0 million. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 6,600,000 private placement warrants at a purchase price of $1.00 per private placement warrant in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, ACE Convergence Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $6.6 million.

Tempo, incorporated in the State of Delaware in 2013, is a leading software-accelerated electronics manufacturer that aims to transform the product development process for the world’s innovators. The Company is primarily concerned with applying software to the printed circuit board assembly process.

Description of the Business Combination

The Domestication — As part of the Business Combination, subject to the approval of ACE’s shareholders, ACE will effect a deregistration under the Cayman Islands Companies Act and a domestication under Section 388 of the DGCL (the “Domestication” and ACE, immediately after the Domestication, “New Tempo”).

In connection with the Domestication, (i) each then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share of ACE will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into one share of common stock of New Tempo, (ii) each then issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share of ACE, par value $0.0001 per share, will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into one share of common stock of New Tempo; (iii) each then issued and outstanding ACE warrants will convert automatically into a warrant to purchase shares of common stock of New Tempo and (iv) each then issued and outstanding unit of ACE will be cancelled and will entitle the holder thereof to one share of common stock of New Tempo and one-half of one New Tempo warrant. Upon effectiveness of the Domestication, ACE will change its name to “Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc.”

207

The Merger — On August 12, 2022, Tempo entered into the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub will merge with and into Tempo, following which the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease, and Tempo will be the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of New Tempo.

The equity exchange and financing related matters associated with the Business Combination is summarized as follows:

i. Prior to or as of the Closing, each share of Tempo Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, and Series C-1 Preferred Stock will convert into one share of Tempo common stock. The Series C-3 Preferred Stock, will convert into the number of Tempo common shares which equal in value to the Series C-3 Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to Closing, multiplied by the Series C Preferred Stock liquidation preference. Unless an event of default has occurred and is continuing at such time, upon the closing of the Business Combination, the consummation of another SPAC Transaction (as defined in the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement), the consummation of a qualified financing or the consummation of an initial public offering or direct listing, all outstanding amounts under the August 2022 Bridge Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, as of such time will automatically convert in full into a number of shares of (i) Tempo common stock or (ii) Tempo preferred stock having terms equivalent to the terms of Tempo’s most senior preferred stock, in each case in accordance with the terms of the August 2022 Bridge Notes, such that the value of the securities received by the holder of any August 2022 Bridge Note will equal the product of (x) the aggregate principal amount, together with any accrued but unpaid interest, outstanding under such August 2022 Bridge Note as of the time of such conversion multiplied by (y) four. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing at such time, then upon the closing of the Business Combination, the consummation of another SPAC Transaction, the consummation of a qualified financing, the consummation of an initial public offering or direct listing or the consummation of any Change of Control, the August 2022 Bridge Notes will only be converted as set forth above if the holder of such note provides its written consent to such conversion. Upon the consummation of any Change of Control (as defined in the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement) prior to the conversion of the August 2022 Bridge Notes, the Company will pay to the holder of such August 2022 Bridge Note, upon the closing of such Change of Control and in full satisfaction of the applicable August 2022 Bridge Note, a cash amount equal to the sum of (i) the product of (a) the outstanding principal balance under the applicable August 2022 Bridge Note multiplied by (b) four, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest. Refer to tickmark [N] within Note 3 to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information, for specifics of the mechanics upon closing of the Business Combination.

ii. Prior to the Closing, Tempo will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the holder of each outstanding and unexercised warrant of Tempo to exercise such warrants in exchange for shares of Tempo common stock, and, at Closing, each Tempo warrant that remains outstanding and unexercised will be converted into a New Tempo warrant, with the number of shares of New Tempo common stock subject to each assumed former Tempo warrant to equal the sum of (1) the product of (i) the number of shares of New Tempo common stock issuable upon exercise of the New Tempo warrant, multiplied by (ii) the Per Share Merger Consideration, rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of New Tempo common stock, plus (2) (i) the number of shares of New Tempo common stock issuable upon exercise of the New Tempo warrant, multiplied by (ii) the Earnout Exchange Ratio, rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of New Tempo common stock.

iii. At the Closing (after giving effect to the Tempo Preferred Conversion), each share of Tempo common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing will be canceled and exchanged into shares of New Tempo common stock (at a deemed value of $10.00 per share) equal to the remainder of (a) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Base Purchase Price by (ii) $10.00, including Tempo Earnout Shares (the “Aggregate Merger Consideration”).

iv. At the Closing, each Tempo Option granted under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan will be converted into (i) the right to receive a number of Tempo Earnout Shares and (ii) a New Tempo Option, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as in effect with respect to the corresponding Tempo Option.

v. Following the Closing but within the five-year period following the Closing Date, Eligible Tempo Equityholders will be entitled to receive 7,000,000 Tempo Earnout Shares promptly after the occurrence of two separate Earnout Triggering Events. The Tempo Earnout Shares will vest in two equal tranches of 3,500,000 shares based on New Tempo reaching $5.0 million in Adjusted EBITDA and $15.0 million in revenue in any quarter during the five-year period following the Closing Date.

208

vi. On January 13, 2022, ACE entered into the Promissory Note with the Sponsor. The Sponsor agreed it will contribute to ACE as a loan $0.03 for each Class A ordinary share of ACE that was not redeemed in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the extension of the deadline by which ACE must complete an initial business combination. The Contribution will occur each month until the earlier of (i) the date of the extraordinary general meeting held in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the Business Combination and (ii) $1.5 million has been loaned. Up to $1.5 million of the loans may be settled in whole warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares of ACE at a conversion price equal to $1.00 per warrant. The Contribution(s) will not bear any interest, and will be repayable by ACE to the Sponsor upon the earlier of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination and the consummation of the Business Combination. On June 30, 2022, ACE and the Sponsor amended and restated the Promissory Note in its entirety to, among other things, increase the aggregate principal amount available thereunder from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000, contingent upon the approval by ACE’s shareholders of the extension of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination to October 13, 2022. Monthly deposits into the trust account following the July 2022 redemptions are based on the number of public shares still outstanding following such redemptions. On August 28, 2022, ACE and the Sponsor amended and restated the Sponsor Loan in its entirety to, among other things, increase the aggregate principal amount available thereunder from $2,000,000 to $2,125,000, the effectiveness of which is conditioned upon the approval by ACE’s shareholders of the proposal to amend ACE’s Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which ACE must consummate an initial business combination from October 13, 2022, to January 30, 2023. Monthly deposits into ACE’s trust account following such extension will be based on the number of public shares still outstanding following such extension.

vii. At the Closing, New Tempo will be entitled to the sum of (1) the amount of cash available in the trust account into which substantially all of the proceeds of ACE’s initial public offering and private placements of its warrants have been deposited, after deducting the amount required to satisfy ACE’s obligations to its shareholders (if any) that exercise their rights to redeem their ACE Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents (but prior to payment of (a) any deferred underwriting commissions being held in the trust account and (b) any transaction expenses of ACE and its affiliates), plus (2) the PIPE Investment Amount actually received by ACE prior to or substantially concurrently with the Closing Date, plus (3) the Available Credit Amount, plus (4) the Available Cash Amount, being at least equal to $10.0 million.

viii. On September 7, 2022, the parties to the Sponsor Support Agreement entered into the Third SSA Amendment, pursuant to which the Earnout Sponsors agreed, immediately prior to the Domestication, to contribute, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to ACE an aggregate of 5,595,000 Founder Shares in exchange for an aggregate of 3,595,000 Class A ordinary shares of ACE (the “SSA Exchange”). After giving effect to the Third SSA Amendment, the Earnout Sponsors have agreed to subject an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Domesticated ACE common stock (the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”) received in the SSA Exchange to certain earnout vesting conditions or, should such shares fail to vest, forfeiture to ACE for no consideration. On the earlier of (i) the date which is fifteen (15) months following the closing of the Business Combination and immediately prior to the closing of a strategic transaction, the Sponsor Earnout Shares will vest in an amount equal to (A) the number of Sponsor Earnout Shares, less (B) the number of Additional Period Shares (as defined in the Third Amended and Restated Subscription Agreement), if any, issuable in the aggregate under such Amended and Restated PIPE Common Stock Subscription Agreements. The maximum number of shares that may be forfeited by the Earnout Sponsors is 1,000,000. In the event of a strategic transaction, the holders of any vested Sponsor Earnout Shares will be eligible to participate in such strategic transaction with respect to such Sponsor Earnout Shares on the same terms, and subject to the same conditions, as the other holders of shares of Domesticated ACE common stock generally. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not concluded on the accounting analysis of such transaction, including the impacts of the:

● Amendment to the Founder shares to exchange of 5,595,000 Founder Shares for 3,595,000 Class A ordinary shares of ACE;

● The 1,000,000 shares of Domesticated ACE Common Stock held by the Earnout Sponsors, the vesting of which is subject to certain earnouts detailed above;

● The Additional Period Shares;

● The 2,000,000 PIPE Incentive Shares;

209

and accordingly, has not given pro forma effect to in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information. See additional information within Note 4 to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.

The PIPE Investment

ix. In connection with the Business Combination, on September 7, 2022, ACE entered into Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements with each of the PIPE Investors, pursuant to which PIPE Investors will collectively subscribe for 550,000 shares of the New Tempo common stock for an aggregate purchase price equal to $5.5 million. Pursuant to the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements, ACE has agreed to issue additional shares of New Tempo common stock to each PIPE Investor in the event that the volume weighted average price per share of New Tempo common stock (the “Measurement Period VWAP”) during the 30 days commencing on the date on which a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of New Tempo common stock acquired by such PIPE Investors (the “PIPE Resale Registration Statement”) is declared effective is less than $10.00 per share. In such case, each PIPE Investor will be entitled to receive a number of shares of New Tempo common stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of New Tempo common stock issued to such PIPE Investor at the closing of the subscription and held by such PIPE Investor through the date that is 30 days after the effective date of the PIPE Resale Registration Statement (the “Measurement Date”) multiplied by (y) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is $10.00 minus the Adjustment Period VWAP (as defined below) and (B) the denominator of which is the Adjustment Period VWAP. In the event that the Adjustment Period VWAP is less than $4.00 (the “Price Floor Value”), the Adjustment Period VWAP shall be deemed to be the Price Floor Value. ACE has also agreed to issue up to 500,000 additional shares of New Tempo common stock to each such PIPE Investor in the event that the Additional Period VWAP (as defined below) is less than the Adjustment Period VWAP. In such case, each such PIPE Investor will be entitled to receive a number of shares of New Tempo common stock equal to the lesser of (1) such PIPE Investor’s pro rata portion of 1,000,000 additional shares of New Tempo common stock, and (2) (i) (A) (x) the number of shares issued to such PIPE Investor pursuant to such subscription agreement and held by such PIPE Investor on the last day of the 30 calendar day period ending on the date that is 15 months following the closing of the subscriptions (such 30 calendar day period, the “Additional Period”), times (y) the Adjustment Period VWAP, minus the average of the volume weighted average price of a share of New Tempo common stock determined for each of the trading days during the Additional Period (the “Additional Period VWAP”), minus (B) the number of PIPE Incentive Shares, times the Additional Period VWAP, divided by (ii) the Additional Period VWAP. Additionally, as detailed in vii above, as a condition to the Sponsor Support Agreement, as amended, ACE has agreed to issue up to 2,000,000 additional shares (the “PIPE Incentive Shares”) to such PIPE Investors on a pro rata basis with respect to each PIPE Investor’s subscription amount as an incentive to subscribe for and purchase the shares under the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not concluded on the accounting analysis of the PIPE Incentive Shares, or the features that may require the Company to issue additional shares based on share price and VWAP and has not given pro forma effect to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information. See additional information within Note 4 to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.

The New Tempo Senior Notes

x. On August 25, 2022, Tempo also entered into a non-binding term sheet with the lenders under the Loan and Security Agreement with respect to the repayment of amounts outstanding under the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Repayment Term Sheet”). The Repayment Term Sheet contemplates that, in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the lenders under the Loan and Security Agreement (i) will convert up to $15.0 million in outstanding amounts under the Loan and Security Agreement as of such time into shares of New Tempo common stock pursuant to the Lender PIPE Common Stock Subscription Agreement (such conversion, the “Lender PIPE Conversion”), (ii) will receive up to $3.0 million in cash from the net proceeds of the Trust Account over $15.0 million; and (iii) will convert $15.0 million in outstanding amounts under the Loan and Security Agreement as of such time into senior notes of New Tempo (“New Tempo Senior Notes”) (such conversion, the “Lender Debt Conversion”), provided, that, for every $1.00 in net proceeds available from the Trust Account above $18.0 million, the Lender PIPE Conversion will be decreased and the Lender Debt Conversion will be increased, in each case, in like amount up to an aggregate decrease in the Lender PIPE Conversion and an aggregate increase in the Lender Debt Conversion of, in each case, $7.0 million. The New Tempo Senior Notes are expected to mature 36 months after the closing date of the Business Combination, and will be secured by a blanket lien on all assets of New Tempo and its subsidiaries. The New Tempo Senior Notes are anticipated to be issued at an original issuance discount of 1.50%, and will bear interest at a floating rate based on the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 4.25%, with a floor of 9.75%. A portion of the interest is anticipated to be payable in kind by increasing the aggregate principal amount under the New Tempo Senior Notes. All payments under the New Tempo Senior Notes for the first twelve months are expected to be credited towards interest only. Upon the final payment under the New Tempo Senior Notes, New Tempo anticipates that it

210

will be required to pay an exit payment of 3.00% of the aggregate principal amount converted in the Lender Debt Conversion. The New Tempo Senior Notes are expected to be subject to customary covenants and events of default. While the Company has reflected the terms of the New Tempo Senior Notes in pro formas, as of the date of this filing, the Company has not concluded on the accounting analysis for the modification of the historical debt and has not given pro forma effect to the modification in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information. See additional information within Note 4 to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.

Description of Other Material Transactions:

xi. On July 12, 2022, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting to amend the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which the Company must (1) consummate a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, (2) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such initial business combination, and (3) redeem all of the Class A Ordinary Shares included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering from July 13, 2022, to October 13, 2022. In connection with such extension, a total of 813 shareholders elected to redeem an aggregate of 4,256,979 Class A Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 51.90% of the issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares. As a result, approximately $43,349,494 was paid out of the Trust Account in connection with the redemptions.

xii. In July 2020, Tempo issued 258,368 performance-based options to the Chief Financial Officer of Tempo which vest 100% subject to the occurrence of a qualified transaction within 36 months of its date of grant. Additionally, in March 2021, Tempo issued 1,245,641 performance-based options to management employees and board of directors which vest 100% subject to the occurrence of a qualified transaction. In November 2021, the Company’s board of directors approved to (i) reduce the July 2020 grant achievement period by approximately six months; and (ii) extend the March 2021 grants achievement period by 12 months. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, Tempo expects to recognize stock-based compensation expense of $8.8 million due to performance conditions being met.

xiii. On August 25, 2022, Tempo entered into a note purchase agreement (the “Bridge Note Purchase Agreement”), with each of ACE, AEPI, Point72 Ventures Investments, LLC, Lux Ventures IV, L.P. and the lenders under the previously held loan and security agreement (collectively, the “Initial Bridge Investors”) with Structural Capital Investments III, LP, Series Structural DCO II, a series of Structural Capital DCO, LLC, SQN Tempo Automation, LLC, SQN Venture Income Fund II, LP and Ocean II PLO LLC entered into upon execution of the Merger Agreement on October 13, 2021 (the “Loan and Security Agreement”). As of June 30, 2022, there was approximately $30.0 million in outstanding principal under the Loan and Security Agreement. Pursuant to the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement, Tempo agreed to issue up to $5.0 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible promissory notes (the “August 2022 Bridge Notes”) to the Initial Bridge Investors for aggregate cash proceeds of approximately $1.4 million and the cancellation of approximately $3.6 million of early termination fees and accrued interest owed under the Loan and Security Agreement. Additionally, Tempo may, from time to time prior to October 9, 2022, issue up to $700,000 in aggregate principal amount of additional August 2022 Bridge Notes to one or more additional investors. The August 2022 Bridge Notes initially bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum. Upon the occurrence of any event of default under the August 2022 Bridge Notes until the earlier of the conversion of such August 2022 Bridge Note or the first date on which such event of default is cured or waived, the interest rate will be 15% per annum. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, all outstanding amounts under the August 2022 Bridge Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest will become convertible in full into a number of shares of Series C-3 Preferred Stock of Tempo having terms equivalent to the terms of Tempo’s most senior preferred stock, except that the value of the securities received by the holder of any August 2022 Bridge Note will equal the product of (x) the aggregate principal amount, together with any accrued but unpaid interest, outstanding under such August 2022 Bridge Note as of the time of such conversion multiplied by (y) four. Refer to tickmark [N] within Note 3 to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information, for specifics of the mechanics upon closing of the Business Combination. While the Company has reflected the terms of the August 2022 Bridge Notes and New Tempo Senior Notes (as discussed in point x above) in the pro formas, as of the date of this filing, the Company has not concluded the accounting analysis for the modification of the historical debt, or the accounting for the feature that the August 2022 Bridge Notes will convert into four times the value of the outstanding balance upon the closing of the Business Combination and has not given pro forma effect to the modification or conversion feature in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. See additional information within Note 4 to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.

xiv. On July 1, 2022, ACE, Tempo and ACE Equity Partners International Pte. Ltd. (“AEPI”) entered into an Unsecured Subordinated Convertible Note (the “Bridge Note”) pursuant to which AEPI agreed to loan to Tempo up to an aggregate

211

principal amount of $5.0 million, $2.5 million of which was advanced to Tempo as of June 30, 2022 and an additional approximately $1.9 million was advanced as of August 25, 2022, the date on which the Bridge Note was amended and restated. The amended and restated Bridge Note does not entitle the Company to additional advances and, as such, no additional amounts under the amended and restated Bridge Note will be drawn.

xv. On August 25, 2022, in connection with the issuance and sale of the August 2022 Bridge Notes, and as a condition to closing the issuance and sale of the August 2022 Bridge Notes in accordance with the terms of the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement, Tempo amended and restated the 2022 Promissory Notes and the Bridge Note, in each case, on substantially similar terms to the August 2022 Bridge Notes. While the Company has reflected the terms of the August 2022 Bridge Notes in the pro formas, as of the date of this filing, the Company has not concluded the accounting analysis for the modification of the historical debt, or the accounting for the feature that the notes will convert into four times the value of the outstanding balance upon the closing of the Business Combination and has not given pro forma effect to the modification or conversion feature in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. See additional information within Note 4 to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.

xvi. On August 25, 2022, Tempo entered into an amended and restated warrant with Point72 Ventures Investments, LLC, which amended and restated that certain Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock, dated as of October 11, 2021, to, among other things, provide for the automatic conversion, with an amended exercise price of zero, of such warrant into shares of Tempo common stock upon the consummation of the Business Combination, a business combination or similar transaction with another special purpose acquisition company, the consummation of a qualified financing or the consummation of an initial public offering or direct listing. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not concluded the accounting analysis of such transaction or the valuation of the instruments and has not given pro forma effect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. See additional information within Note 4 to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.

xvii.On August 25, 2022, Tempo adopted the amended and restated Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Tempo, to (i) increase the authorized capital of Tempo for purposes of reserving for issuance an adequate number of shares of Tempo common stock and Tempo preferred stock for issuance upon conversion of the August 2022 Bridge Notes; and (ii) create a new series of Tempo preferred stock designated as “Series C-3 Preferred Stock” and establish the rights, preferences and privileges of such series of Tempo preferred stock for purposes of issuing shares of such series of Tempo preferred stock upon conversion of the August 2022 Bridge Notes. The Series C-3 Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference four times greater than the next most senior preferred stock. Refer to tickmark [N] within Note 3 to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information, for specifics of the mechanics upon closing of the Business Combination.

Accounting for the Business Combination

This unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read together with the historical financial statements and related notes of Tempo and ACE, and other financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Tempo has been determined to be the accounting acquirer of ACE based on the following facts and circumstances:

● Tempo’s existing shareholders will have the greatest voting interest in the combined entity, excluding option holders, under the no and maximum redemption scenarios with approximately 51.2% and 55.1% voting interest, respectively.

● Tempo’s existing shareholders will have the ability to control decisions regarding election and removal of the combined entity’s board of directors.

● Tempo will hold a majority of the combined entity’s board of directors.

● Tempo’s senior management will be the senior management of the combined entity.

● The combined company name will be Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc., i.e. the combined entity will assume Tempo’s name.

212

The preponderance of evidence as described above is indicative that Tempo is the accounting acquirer of ACE. Accordingly, the merger between Tempo and ACE will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with ACE being treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. For accounting purposes, the reverse recapitalization will be the equivalent of Tempo issuing stock for the net assets of ACE, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of ACE will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the reverse recapitalization will be those of Tempo.

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information have been identified and presented to provide relevant information of New Tempo upon consummation of the Business Combination and other events contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are described in the accompanying notes.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results and financial position that would have been achieved had the Business Combination occurred on the dates indicated. Any additional Business Combination proceeds remaining after the payment for the redemption of 19,054,702 public shares in connection with the shareholder votes to approve the extensions of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination and payment of transaction costs related to the Merger are expected to be used for other general corporate purposes. Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future operating results or financial position of New Tempo following the completion of the Business Combination. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed. The companies of ACE and Tempo have not had any historical relationship prior to the transactions, other than an existing ACE director who is also the Chief Financial Officer of Tempo and is considered an interested party to the Business Combination. Refer to Interests of ACE’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination for further information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information contained herein assumes that ACE’s shareholders approve the proposed Business Combination. ACE public shareholders may elect to redeem their public shares for cash, and ACE cannot predict how many of its public shareholders will exercise their right to have their Class A ordinary shares redeemed for cash. As a result, New Tempo has elected to provide the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information under two different redemption scenarios, which produce different allocations of total Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc. equity between equity holders of Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc. These redemption scenarios are as follows:

● Assuming No Redemption:   This presentation assumes the remaining shares after the redemption of 19,054,702 public shares.

● Assuming Maximum Redemption:   This presentation assumes an incremental 2,990,612 of public shares are redeemed at approximately $10.16 per share based on expected amounts held in the trust account upon the closing of the Business Combination.

213

The following summarizes the pro forma Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc. common stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Business Combination and the related ownership percentages, presented under the two scenarios listed above.

	Assuming No Redemptions			Assuming Maximum Redemptions
	(Shares)			(Shares)(1)
		Percentage of			Percentage of
	Number of	Outstanding		Number of	Outstanding
(in millions)	Shares	Shares		Shares	Shares
Tempo Stockholders(2)(3)(6)(7)	14,542,197	51.2	%	14,542,197	55.1	%
ACE’s public shareholders	3,945,298	13.9	%	954,686	3.6	%
Sponsor & related parties(4)(6)	6,288,755	22.1	%	6,102,925	23.1	%
Third Party PIPE Investors(7)	2,469,047	8.7	%	3,654,878	13.8	%
CFPI(5)	1,155,000	4.1	%	1,155,000	4.4	%
Pro Forma Outstanding Shares	28,400,297	100	%	26,409,686	100	%

(1) Assumes maximum redemptions of 2,990,612 Class A ordinary shares of ACE in connection with the Business Combination at approximately $10.16 per share based on trust account figures as of June 30, 2022, and including the expected proceeds received from the Promissory Note with the Sponsor. As of       , 2022, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor’s obligation is approximately $       per public share.

(2) Following the Closing, the Eligible Tempo Equityholders will have the right to receive up to 7,000,000 Tempo Earnout Shares in two tranches upon the occurrence of the Earnout Triggering Events during the Earnout Period. Because the Tempo Earnout Shares are contingently issuable based upon meeting certain operating metrics that have not yet been achieved, the pro forma New Tempo common stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Business Combination excludes the 7,000,000 Tempo Earnout Shares.

(3) Includes an estimated 3,727,260 shares of New Tempo common stock expected to be issued to Tempo warrant holders, net of expected exercise proceeds, and excludes an estimated 610,197 shares of New Tempo common stock to be reserved for potential future issuance upon the exercise of New Tempo Options.

(4) Includes 200,000 shares subscribed for by the Sponsor Related PIPE Investors and 3,750,000 shares beneficially owned by the directors and officers of ACE and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees (taking into account the SSA Exchange).

(5) Includes 1,155,000 New Tempo shares issued to CFPI for their $3.5 million commitment fee under the Cantor Purchase Agreement and to settle ACE’s existing deferred underwriting commissions of $8.1 million as of June 30, 2022.

(6) Includes New Tempo common stock issued to Tempo Stockholders and the Sponsor and related parties upon conversion of the August 2022 Bridge Notes. Concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination, the principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest on the August 2022 Bridge Notes will convert into shares of New Tempo common stock. Tempo Stockholders and the Sponsor and related parties are expected to receive 3,973,827 and 1,957,803 shares of New Tempo common stock, respectively.

(7) Certain Third Party PIPE Investors are also existing Tempo Stockholders. Accordingly, the same shareholders may be included in both shareholder categories.

The actual results will be within the parameters described by the two scenarios. However, there can be no assurance regarding which scenario will be closest to the actual results. The table above excludes New Tempo shares associated with (i) private placement and public warrants of New Tempo, (iii) New Tempo options, or (iv) any potential Tempo Earnout Shares.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

The merger between Tempo and ACE will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with ACE being treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. For accounting purposes, the reverse recapitalization will be the equivalent of Tempo issuing stock for the net assets of ACE, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of ACE will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the reverse recapitalization will be those of Tempo.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet of New Tempo as of June 30, 2022 assumes that the transactions occurred on June 30, 2022. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations of New Tempo for the year ended December 31, 2021 and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 presents pro forma effect to the transactions as if it had been completed on January 1, 2021.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 and unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

● unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of ACE for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

● unaudited condensed financial statements of Tempo for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

● financial statements of ACE for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

● financial statements of Tempo for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”). As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” The pro forma adjustments reflecting the Closing with ACE and are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that ACE believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments and it is possible such differences may be material. ACE believes that these assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Business Combination based on information available to management at the time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma combined financial information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings, or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Business Combination taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of New Tempo. They should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of ACE and Tempo.

221

Note 2 — Accounting Policies

Upon completion of the Business Combination, management will perform a comprehensive review of ACE’s accounting policies. As a result of the review, management may identify differences between the accounting policies of the companies which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the combined financial statements. Based on its initial analysis, management has not identified any material differences in accounting policies that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Note 3 — Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

Article 11 of Regulation S-X allows for the presentation of reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). ACE has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and will only be presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Transactions and has been prepared for informational purposes only.

The pro forma condensed combined provision for income taxes does not necessarily reflect the amounts that would have resulted had New Tempo filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented.

The unaudited pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are based upon the number of New Tempo shares outstanding, assuming the Business Combination occurred on January 1, 2021.

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

The pro forma Transaction Accounting Adjustments, based on preliminary estimates that could change materially as additional information is obtained, are as follows:

(A) Reflects the reclassification of cash and cash equivalents held in ACE’s trust account that becomes available upon completion of the Business Combination, under the no redemption scenario.

(B) Reflects the proceeds of $5.5 million from the issuance and sale of 0.6 million shares of New Tempo common stock, with a per share par value of $0.0001, at $10.00 per share pursuant to the PIPE Investment. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet reflects a corresponding increase of $5.5 million to additional paid in-capital and an increase of less than $0.1 million to New Tempo common stock. Should the stock price of New Tempo not achieve certain explicit price levels during a defined time frame after the Closing of the Business Combination, as described in the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements, the investors in the PIPE Investment may receive an additional 1,000,000 shares of New Tempo common stock, also referred to as the Additional Period Shares. On the earlier of (i) the date which is fifteen (15) months following the closing of the Business Combination and immediately prior to the closing of a strategic transaction, the Sponsor Earnout Shares will vest in an amount equal to (A) the number of Sponsor Earnout Shares, less (B) the number of Additional Period Shares, if any, issuable in the aggregate under the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements, as described under “Business Combination Proposal - Related Agreements - Sponsor Support Agreement.” Accordingly, as of the Closing date the allocation of New Tempo shares between investors in the PIPE Investment and the Sponsor is subject to change.

Additionally, ACE has agreed to issue up to 2,000,000 additional shares (the “PIPE Incentive Shares”) to such PIPE Investors on a pro rata basis with respect to each PIPE Investor’s subscription amount as an incentive to subscribe for and purchase the shares under the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements.

While we have given pro forma effect to the expected balance sheet impact associated with this transaction, as of the date of this filing our accounting for the issuance of shares associated with the PIPE Investment and PIPE Incentive Shares is not complete and accordingly is subject to change. While we have given pro forma effect to the expected balance sheet impact associated with this transaction, as of the date of this filing our accounting for the issuance of shares is not complete and accordingly is subject to change, refer to Note 4 to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Information.

222

The proceeds are partially offset by estimated transaction costs to be incurred subsequent to June 30, 2022 in conjunction with the shares of New Tempo common stock issued under the PIPE Investment. The Company incurred total banking fees of $2.4 million to assist with the PIPE Investment. The Company determined that a portion of the fee is related to the termination of historical PIPE Subscription Agreements which were first entered into on October 13, 2021, and is estimated that $2.2 million of the fees are related to those terminated contracts and are expensed as incurred and accordingly increase accumulated deficit, which together with the existing balance of accumulated deficit of ACE, is reclassified to additional paid-in capital with the merger accounting. The remaining $0.2 million of the fees are determined to be direct and incremental to the PIPE Investment and reflected as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. The fees are deferred and will not be paid upon Closing resulting in an increase to accrued expenses of $2.4 million.

(C) Reflects the settlement of outstanding amounts owed under Tempo’s Loan and Security Agreement in accordance with the Repayment Term Sheet and the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement, after giving effect to events discussed in tickmark [N], as applicable. Under the Repayment Term Sheet, the following will take place prior to the closing of the Business Combination in order to repay the $30.0 million in principal outstanding under the Loan and Security Agreement.

● The Company will make a cash repayment of $3.0 million upon the closing of the Business Combination to the lenders under the Loan and Security Agreement.

● The Lender Debt Conversion will occur, which results in the conversion of $22.0 million in outstanding amounts under the Loan and Security Agreement into $22.3 million of New Tempo Senior Notes. The New Tempo Senior Notes will be issued at a 1.5% discount which will be used to increase the principal balance of the Senior Note Investment by $0.3 million. The discount will be expensed at issuance and will be reflected in accumulated deficit, with an offsetting entry to the loan balance due.

● The Lender PIPE Conversion will occur, which results in the conversion of $5.0 million in outstanding amounts under the Loan and Security Agreement into New Tempo Common Stock at $10.00 per share. Accordingly, 500,000 shares of new Tempo will be issued resulting in a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital.

In accordance with the Repayment Term Sheet, the Lender Debt Conversion and the Lender PIPE Conversion are impacted by the number of redemptions from trust which occur.

The estimated amounts described within this tickmark [C] are assuming no redemptions occur. A description of the impacts to the Lender Debt Conversion and the Lender PIPE Conversion upon a maximum redemption scenario are included at [J].

While we have given pro forma effect to the expected balance sheet impact associated with the aforementioned transaction, as of the date of this filing our accounting analysis is not complete and accordingly is subject to change, refer to Note 4 to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Information.

(D) Reflects the payment of deferred underwriting commissions incurred during ACE’s IPO which will be settled in shares of New Tempo at Closing. Subsequent to the ACE’s IPO, the underwriter agreed to settle their underwriting commissions in shares of New Tempo at an assumed value of $10.00 per share. Accordingly,805,000 shares of New Tempo will be issued, resulting in a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital.

(E) Adjustment represents the effects of transaction costs on the pro forma condensed combined balance sheet

(E1) Transaction costs incurred by Tempo are reflected as follows:

● Cash payment of $1.1 million associated with costs incurred prior to and unpaid as of June 30, 2022, by Tempo in conjunction with the Business Combination, such payment is reflected as a corresponding $1.1 decrease to accrued expenses.

● Cash payment of $1.0 million of transaction costs, representing estimated transaction costs to be incurred subsequent to June 30, 2022, and paid upon closing,

223

● Accrued expense increase of $2.9 million, representing estimated transaction costs to be incurred subsequent to June 30, 2022, and unpaid at closing.

For the $3.9 million in estimated transaction costs incurred subsequent to June 30, 2022, such amounts are allocated on a relative fair value basis to instruments issued as part of the Merger. The amount is partially allocated as a decrease to additional paid-in capital of $3.8 million. The remaining amount of $0.1 million is related to the issuance of liability-classified instruments which are subsequently measured at fair value, and therefore was reflected as an increase to accumulated deficit. See further discussion in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations, as described at (FF).

(E2) Convertible Senior Note termination fees and the associated legal costs

● Cash payment of $1.2 million related to legal fees, which are to be paid upon the closing of the Merger

● Accrued expense increase of $1.0 million related to termination fees associated with the Convertible Senior Note termination, such amounts will be paid subsequent to the closing of the Merger.

The total $2.2 million in legal fees and termination fees are reflected as an increase to accumulated deficit, see further discussion in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations, as described at(JJ).

(E3) Transaction costs incurred by ACE

● Cash payment of $1.4 of transaction costs, which are reflected as a corresponding decrease of $1.4 million to accrued expenses that had been incurred prior to and unpaid as of June 30, 2022.

● Accrued expense increase of $9.6 million of transaction costs to be incurred by ACE subsequent to June 30, 2022, but prior to closing, is an expense of the pre-combination entity and reflected as an increase of $9.6 million to accumulated deficit. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations reflects the impact of these expenses at (FF).

(E4) The reclassification of $4.3 million of transaction costs incurred by Tempo in conjunction with the Business Combination and which are capitalized within other noncurrent assets as of June 30, 2022. Upon the close of the Business Combination, such costs will be removed resulting a $4.3 million decreased to other noncurrent assets, and reflected as $4.3 million decrease to additional paid-in capital.

(F)Represents the following transactions related to ACE’s equity:

● The reclassification of ACE’s Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption from temporary equity into permanent equity.

● In conjunction with the Domestication, (i) each then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share of ACE will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of common stock of New Tempo, (ii) each then issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share ACE will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of common stock of New Tempo, (iii) each then issued and outstanding warrant of ACE will convert automatically into a warrant to acquire one share of common stock of New Tempo, and (iv) each then issued and outstanding unit of ACE will be cancelled and will entitle the holder thereof to one share of New Tempo common stock and one-half of one New Tempo warrant.

(G) Represents recapitalization of Tempo’s equity, including:

● Conversion of 6,963,183 shares of Tempo Preferred Series A stock, 1,528,501 shares of Tempo Preferred Series A-1 stock, 1,541,170 shares of Tempo Preferred Series A-2 stock, 7,320,385 shares of Tempo Preferred Series B stock, 10,669,200 shares of Tempo Preferred Series C stock and 1,497,748 shares of Tempo Preferred Series C-1 stock into 29,520,187 shares of common stock of Tempo.

224

● Prior to the closing, Tempo will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the holder of each outstanding and unexercised warrant of Tempo to exercise such warrants in exchange for shares of Tempo common stock and preferred stock, and, at closing, each Tempo warrant that remains outstanding and unexercised will be converted into a New Tempo warrant. The exercise of such warrants would result in the issuance of an additional 3,187,913 Tempo common shares, 84,848 Series A preferred shares, 38,543 Series B preferred shares and 294,667 Series C preferred shares upon settlement of Tempo warrants. The fair value of Tempo’s existing liability classified warrants which will be removed when exercised is $2.8 million. The aggregate exercise price that Tempo will receive in cash when the Tempo warrants are exercised is $0.5 million.

● In Q3 2022, Tempo approved 18,262,167 Series C Preferred warrants to various counterparties. The exercise price of such warrants is waived upon the closing of the Business Combination and thus are expected to be exercised at Close for shares of Series C Preferred Stock. A charge to the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of operations of $34.2 million and $28.2 million is described at [HH] and [II], respectively, for such warrants. The charge is reflected as an adjustment to accumulated deficit and additional paid-in capital.

● Issuance of 10,568,370 shares of New Tempo common stock in exchange for 61,160,874 outstanding shares of Tempo common stock (following the exercise of Tempo Warrants and conversion of preferred stock).

(H) Reflects the reclassification of ACE’s historical accumulated deficit to additional paid-in capital in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, inclusive of the $9.6 million discussed in tickmark [E].

(I) Reflects the preliminary estimated fair value of Tempo Equityholders’ Earnout Shares recorded as a liability as of June 30, 2022. For further information, see Note 5. The Company does not expect to achieve the Earnout targets and as such, the Company has not placed value on the liability. The earnout liability will be remeasured at each reporting date with changes in the fair value recorded to earnings.

(J) Represents the maximum amount of $30.4 million that would be paid to public stockholders who are assumed to exercise redemption rights under the maximum redemption scenario to redeem 2,990,612 additional shares. Upon a maximum redemption scenario, the existing lenders under the Loan and Security Agreement will adjust the Lender PIPE Conversion and Lender Debt Conversion in accordance with the Repayment Term Sheet, described at [C] as follows:

● The Lender PIPE Conversion will increase by $10.0 million or 1.0 million shares of New Tempo common stock.

● The Lender Debt Conversion will decrease by $7.1 million which includes a decrease of $7.0 million in principal and an incremental $0.1 million resulting from the conversion at a 1.5% discount.

● The Company will not make the cash payment of $3.0 million to the existing lenders upon the closing of the Business Combination.

(K) Reflects the recognition of $8.8 million of stock-based compensation expense associated with Tempo performance-based equity awards that immediately vest upon the successful completion of a Business Combination. As there are no future service conditions, the estimated fair value of the award is recognized upon the Closing as a non-recurring expense.

(L) The adjustment represents the repayment of $1.5 million of the Promissory Note entered into between ACE and the Sponsor in January 2022. The adjustment also includes the repayment of $0.8 million from the Working Capital Facility held on ACE’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 which is expected to be paid off with funds from the Merger. Amounts due relate to Promissory Note maybe be converted into warrants or held for repayment at the option of the holder, for the purposes of the pro forma, we have assumed these amounts will be repaid to the holder.

(M) Represents additional funding received by Tempo under the Bridge Note of $1.9 million occurring subsequent to June 30, 2022.

(N) Represents the issuance of the August 2022 Bridge Notes by Tempo in exchange for:

● Cash proceeds received of $1.4 million.

225

● Amounts owed of $3.6 million under the Loan and Security Agreement for accrued interest and an early termination fee associated with the contemplated termination of the Loan and Security Agreement, which were recorded as an expense by Tempo and accordingly an increase to accumulated deficit of Tempo.

Immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination, all outstanding amounts under the August 2022 Bridge Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, will convert into shares of Tempo Series C-3 Preferred Stock. Such conversion is calculated as the outstanding balance of the August 2022 Bridge Notes and related accrued interest thereon, divided by the original issuance price designated for the Series C-3 Preferred Stock of $3.749108. The Series C-3 Preferred Stock shares then outstanding will convert a number of Tempo common shares whereby the holder of Series C-3 Preferred Stock receives, a number of shares of Tempo common shares equal in value to the Series C-3 Preferred Stock outstanding multiplied by Series C-3 Preferred Stock liquidation preference. The Series C-3 Preferred Stock liquidation preference is defined as the Series C-3 issuance price of $3.749108 multiplied by four. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, the Tempo common stock received will convert into shares of New Tempo common shares at the applicable exchange ratio.

On August 25, 2022, the Bridge Note and 2022 Promissory Notes, and all amounts outstanding thereunder, were also amended and restated to have substantially similar terms as the August 2022 Bridge Notes. Accordingly, upon the closing of the Business Combination, the Bridge Note and 2022 Promissory Notes will ultimately settle into shares of New Tempo following the same mechanism. While we have given pro forma effect to the terms of the Bridge Notes and Series C-3 Preferred Stock, as of the date of this filing our accounting for the conversion feature of the Bridge Notes and Series C-3 Preferred Stock is not complete and accordingly is not reflected in the pro formas, refer to Note 4 to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Information.

(O) Upon the Closing of the Business Combination, represents the settlement of $14.5 million of borrowing obligations of Tempo:

● The settlement of the 2022 Promissory Notes held by Tempo, with a $5.2 million aggregate principal and accrued interest balance which will ultimately become shares in New Tempo, using the mechanism described in tickmark [N].

● The settlement of $4.4 million outstanding under the Bridge Note, after giving effect to tickmark [M], representing the aggregate principal and accrued interest balance which will ultimately become shares in New Tempo, settling using the mechanism described in tickmark [N].

● The settlement of $4.9 million outstanding under the August 2022 Note, representing the aggregate principal and accrued interest balance which will ultimately become shares in New Tempo, settling using the mechanism described in tickmark [N].

Further, an adjustment has been made for the settlement of the balance of the embedded derivative and unamortized debt discounts associated with the 2022 Promissory Notes, the Bridge Note and August 2022 Bridge Notes will be charged to accumulated deficit, resulting in a net gain of $0.1 million at the time of the Business Combination.

While we have given pro forma effect to the expected balance sheet impact associated with this transaction, as of the date of this filing our accounting for the issuance of shares is not complete and accordingly is subject to change, refer Note 4 to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Information.

(P) Represents the redemption of 4,256,979 public shares in July 2022 in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the extension of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination. The redemption was paid with funds from the trust account at $10.18 per share.

(Q) Represents the $3.5 million in fees incurred for underwriting fees as part of the Cantor Purchase Agreement. The fees are paid in common shares of New Tempo at an assumed value of $10.00 per share resulting in the issuance of 350,000 shares of New Tempo. As the fees are directly related to the issuance of equity through the Cantor Purchase Agreement, the fair value of the shares is represented as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. The amount is deferred upon and will be paid through the issuance of common stock subsequent to the closing of the Business Combination.

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the six months ended June 30, 2022 are as follows:

(AA) Reflects the elimination of historical investment income earned on ACE’s Trust Account.

(BB) Reflects the interest expense related to the New Tempo Senior Notes issued in August 2022 under the terms of the Repayment Term Sheet. The New Tempo Senior Notes are expected to have a floating interest rate based on the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 4.25%, with a floor of 9.75%. For the purpose of presentation within the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations, we have used the floor of 9.75%. Of the total interest rate, 3.25% will be interest payable-in-kind, with the remaining interest paid in cash. Upon a maximum redemption scenario, the New Tempo Senior Notes will decrease resulting in a decrease to interest expense as described at [JJ].

(CC) Represents estimated stock-based compensation measured as of the closing date for the portion of the Earnout Shares issuable to existing option holders with continuing service requirements, and assuming no forfeitures (see Note 5). The Company does not expect to achieve the Earnout targets and as such, the Company has not recognized stock-based compensation with the performance condition. The Company will evaluate the probability of achievement at each reporting period and will adjust stock-based compensation as appropriate.

(DD) Represents incremental stock-based compensation expense associated with $8.8 million Tempo Options granted to employees which vest upon satisfaction of both a service condition and liquidity condition, which will be satisfied upon completion of the Business Combination. The liquidity event has not been deemed probable for expense recognition in the historical unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and the triggering event only becomes probable upon a liquidity event, in this case, the Business Combination.

(EE) Represents the elimination of interest expense on certain existing Tempo debt under the Loan and Security Agreement which will be settled under the terms of the Repayment Term Sheet upon the closing of the Business Combination as described at [C]. The conversion of existing debt is reflected as of January 1, 2021 in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations, and accordingly the interest expense on such debt would not have been incurred had the merger occurred on such date.

(FF) Reflects $9.6 million of certain non-recurring transaction costs incurred by ACE subsequent to June 30, 2022, principally related to the Merger as described at [E]. An additional $0.1 million of transaction costs are incurred by Tempo subsequent to June 30, 2022, principally related to liability-classified instruments which are subsequently measured at fair value.

(GG) Represents the elimination of changes in the fair value of Tempo’s liability classified warrants and embedded derivatives held on Tempo’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2022. Prior to the closing, Tempo will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the holder of each outstanding and unexercised warrant of Tempo to exercise such warrants in exchange for shares of Tempo common stock as described at [G]. Further, upon closing, the host instruments containing the embedded derivatives will be converted into New Tempo common stock as described at [M] and [O].

(HH) Represents the issuance of 10,000,000 Series C Preferred Warrants by Tempo to an existing investor. The warrants were issued to the investor for their continued commitment to the Business Combination. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, the exercise price is waived and the conversion of warrants is expected to occur. Upon exercise, the shares of Tempo will be converted into New Tempo under the exchange ratio. While we have given pro forma effect to the expected statement of operations impact associated with this transaction, as of the date of this filing our accounting for the warrant issuance is not complete and accordingly is subject to change.

(II) Represents the issuance of 8,262,167 Series C Preferred Warrants by Tempo to the creditor under the Loan and Security Agreement who is also a Third Party PIPE Investor. The warrants were issued in order to receive a waiver on the breach of debt covenants. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, the exercise price is waived and the conversion of warrants is expected to occur. Upon exercise, the shares of Tempo will be converted into New Tempo under the exchange ratio. While we have given pro forma effect to the expected statement of operations impact associated with this transaction, as of the date of this filing our accounting for the warrant issuance is not complete and accordingly is subject to change.

227

(JJ) Under a maximum redemption scenario, the New Tempo Senior Notes will decrease resulting in a decrease to interest expense of $0.9 million and $0.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2021 and for the six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

(KK) Represents the elimination of interest expense on Tempo’s 2022 Promissory Notes which are automatically converted into shares of New Tempo upon the closing of the Business Combination as described at [O]. The conversion is reflected as of January 1, 2021 in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations.

(LL) As discussed in tickmark [B], $2.2 million of transaction costs associated with the PIPE Investment were expensed. Further, as noted in tickmark [E], termination fees and the associated legal costs related to the termination of the subscription agreement under the Convertible Senior Notes of $2.2 million were expensed in the pre-combination statement of operations.

Note 4 — In-process Accounting Analysis

The transactions discussed below are presented in the Company’s unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, however the Company’s accounting analysis on such transactions is incomplete as of the date of this filing. The Company discussed the implications of certain items where the accounting is incomplete.

New, Amended and Terminated Borrowing Arrangements

The Bridge Note Purchase Agreement, executed on August 25, 2022, allows for the issuance of the August 2022 Bridge Notes. As a condition of closing the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement, the 2022 Promissory Notes and the existing Bridge Note held on Tempo’s June 30, 2022 condensed balance sheet are amended and restated, in each case, on substantially similar terms to the August 2022 Bridge Notes.

The outstanding amounts owed under the Loan and Security Agreement held on Tempo’s June 30, 2022 condensed balance sheet will be settled in accordance with the Repayment Term Sheet. Further, as discussed previously, New Tempo will enter into New Tempo Senior Notes for an aggregate amount of debt of up to $22.0 million.

As of the date of this filing, the accounting is not complete for the following transactions:

(1) the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement - including the accounting for conversion features and evaluation of modification or extinguishment accounting;

(2) the amended and restated 2022 Promissory Notes - including evaluation of modification or extinguishment accounting;

(3) the amended and restated Bridge Notes - including evaluation of modification or extinguishment accounting;

(4) the settlement of debt under the Loan and Security Agreement in accordance with the Repayment Term Sheet and the issuance of the New Tempo Senior Notes — including evaluation of modification or extinguishment accounting and the evaluation of embedded features with the New Tempo Senior Notes; and

(5) the issuance of Series C-3 Preferred Stock including temporary or permanent equity classification and accounting for the liquidation preference,

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents the accounting for the aforementioned arrangements in tickmarks [C], [N] and [O], however, the accounting for these transactions remains incomplete.

The accounting for the above transactions will impact the pre-Business Combination Tempo financial statements. As the amended historical debt will convert into New Tempo Senior Notes, or New Tempo common stock, the potential accounting implications detailed below will be reflected in Tempo’s pre-Business Combination financial statements, and is not expected to have a recurring impact post-Business Combination.

The Company expects that an evaluation will be required of the collective agreements, considering, but not necessarily limited to, the guidance in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”, including ASC 470-50 — Modifications and Extinguishments, ASC 850 — Related Party Disclosures, ASC 480 - Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815 — Derivatives and Hedging as it

228

relates to the issuance of new debt, the modification or extinguishment of existing debt agreements, analysis of conversion features and related party considerations. The results of this accounting analysis may have material implications on the pre-combination entity’s financial statements and reported net loss, including expenses, which may be material, associated with debt modification or extinguishment, other financing costs, as well potential impacts on debt balances and additional paid-in capital.

If the amended debt arrangements are accounted for as an extinguishment, a gain or loss will be recognized in an amount equal to the difference between the fair value of the new debt and the carrying value of the historical debt. Fees paid to the lender will expensed as incurred, and new fees paid to third parties will be capitalized and amortized over the term of the new debt. However, we will also need to consider our relationship with the lenders, which may lead to a portion of the gain recorded within equity rather than as a component of income.

If the amended debt arrangements are accounted for as a modification, no gain or loss will be recognized, fees paid to the lender will be capitalized and amortized over the term of the loan, and the fees paid to third parties will be expensed as incurred.

The accounting for the settlement of debt under the Loan and Security Agreement will require additional analysis of the settlement and conversion features to determine if the features are bifurcated and accounted for separately. If the features meet the criteria to be classified within equity, the fair value will be recognized a component of equity. If the features do not meet the criteria to be classified within equity, or are accounted for under ASC 480 - Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the fair value will be recognized as a liability upon issuance and each reporting period, with the changes in fair value recognized as a component of income. Additionally, the fair value of such instruments will be treated as a debt discount and amortized over the life of the debt.

Additionally, the accounting for the conversion feature of the August 2022 Bridge Notes will require additional analysis of the conversion of the outstanding principal and interest into securities with equal value multiplied by four. If the feature is bifurcated and accounted for separately, and meets the criteria to be classified within equity, the fair value will be recognized a component of equity. If the features do not meet the criteria to be classified within equity, or are accounted for under ASC 480 - Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the fair value will be recognized as a liability upon issuance and each reporting period, with the changes in fair value recognized as a component of income. Additionally, the fair value of such instruments will be treated as a debt discount and amortized over the life of the debt.

The Company intends to conclude on the accounting analysis and disclose the accounting impact on its condensed financial information as of and for the nine months ending September 30, 2022.

PIPE Investment

On September 7, 2022, ACE entered into Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements with each of the PIPE Investors, pursuant to which PIPE Investors will collectively subscribe for 550,000 shares of the New Tempo common stock for an aggregate purchase price equal to $5.5 million.

Pursuant to the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements, ACE has agreed to:

● issue additional shares of New Tempo common stock to each PIPE Investor in the event that the volume weighted average price per share of New Tempo common stock (the “Measurement Period VWAP”) during the 30 days commencing on the date on which a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of New Tempo common stock acquired by such PIPE Investors (the “PIPE Resale Registration Statement”) is declared effective is less than $10.00 per share. In such case, each PIPE Investor will be entitled to receive a number of shares of New Tempo common stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of New Tempo common stock issued to such PIPE Investor at the closing of the subscription and held by such PIPE Investor through the date that is 30 days after the effective date of the PIPE Resale Registration Statement (the “Measurement Date”) multiplied by (y) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is $10.00 minus the Adjustment Period VWAP (as defined below) and (B) the denominator of which is the Adjustment Period VWAP. In the event that the Adjustment Period VWAP is less than $4.00 (the “Price Floor Value”), the Adjustment Period VWAP shall be deemed to be the Price Floor Value.

● issue up to 500,000 additional shares of New Tempo common stock to each such PIPE Investor in the event that the Additional Period VWAP is less than the Adjustment Period VWAP. In such case, each such PIPE Investor will be entitled to receive a number of shares of New Tempo common stock equal to the lesser of (1) such PIPE Investor’s pro rata portion of 1,000,000 additional shares of New Tempo common stock, and (i) (A) (x) the number of shares issued to such PIPE Investor

229

pursuant to such subscription agreement and held by such PIPE Investor on the last day of the 30 calendar day period ending on the date that is 15 months following the closing of the subscriptions (such 30 calendar day period, the “Additional Period”), times (y) the Adjustment Period VWAP, minus the average of the volume weighted average price of a share of New Tempo common stock determined for each of the trading days during the Additional Period (the “Additional Period VWAP”), minus (B) the number of PIPE Incentive Shares, times the Additional Period VWAP, divided by (ii) the Additional Period VWAP.

● issue up to 2,000,000 PIPE Incentive Shares to the PIPE Investors on a pro rata basis with respect to each PIPE Investor’s subscription amount as an incentive to subscribe for and purchase the shares under the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements.

As of the date of this filing, the Company has not concluded on the accounting analysis for the PIPE Investment is not complete and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information only gives effect to the $5.5 million in cash received, which has been reflected as an increase to additional paid-in capital, and the related effects of issuance costs associated with the PIPE Investment.

The PIPE Investment contains embedded features which may result in the additional issuance of shares contingent upon the market prices of New Tempo common stock subsequent to the closing of the Merger. The Company expects that an evaluation will be required to consider, but not necessarily limited to, the guidance in ASC 480 — Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815 — Derivatives and Hedging, as it relates to the PIPE Investment, and ASC 850 — Related Party Disclosures, as it relates to the PIPE Incentive Shares. The results of this accounting analysis may have material implications of the post-combination entity’s financial statements including the subsequent fair value of the embedded features and ongoing remeasurement effects which will impact the post-combination entity’s earnings. The fair value of these features may also impact the initial measurement of the PIPE Investment. The Company intends to conclude on the accounting analysis and disclose the accounting impact on the consolidated financial statements of the post- combination entity.

If, based on the Company’s analysis, the features meet the criteria to be classified as equity, the fair value of the features will be recognized as a component. If, however, the features do not meet the criteria to be recognized as a component of equity, the features will be recognized at fair value upon issuance, and each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded as a component of income. The Company has not yet determined an estimate of fair value of the features.

Additionally, the PIPE Incentive Shares may have material implications to the financial statements, and the Company will need to determine if the shares are accounting for at fair value upon issuance and recognized as a component of income. Alternatively, the PIPE Incentive Shares may be recognized as a component of equity.

Sponsor Earnout — Third SSA Amendment

In connection with the Third SSA Amendment, the Earnout Sponsors agreed to subject 1,000,000 of Domesticated ACE common stock to potential forfeiture to ACE for no consideration if certain earnout vesting conditions are not met. The Company has not completed its analysis of the accounting of the earnout, but will evaluate the provisions to determine if the earn-out will be accounted for in accordance with:

● ASC 718 — Compensation — Stock Compensation — and expensed as compensation expense over the requisite service period;

● ASC 480 — Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity — and if the earn-out is treated as a liability, it will be recognized at fair value upon issuance and each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in income;

● ASC 815 — Derivative and Hedging — and if the earn-out meets the criteria to be accounted for within equity, the fair value of the earn-out will be recognized as a component of equity. If the earn-out does not meet the criteria to be accounted for within equity, it will be recognized as a liability at fair value upon issuance and each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in income.

The Company has not yet completed a valuation to determine the fair value of the earnout and results of the accounting may be may material to the post-combination entity.

230

Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement

On August 25, 2022, Tempo entered into an amended and restated warrant with Point72 Ventures Investments, LLC, which amended and restated that certain Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock, dated as of October 11, 2021, to, among other things, provide for the automatic conversion, with an amended exercise price of zero, of such warrant into shares of Tempo common stock upon the consummation of the Business Combination, a business combination or similar transaction with another special purpose acquisition company, the consummation of a qualified financing or the consummation of an initial public offering or direct listing. As of the date of this filing, Tempo has not concluded the accounting analysis of such transaction or the valuation of the instruments and has not given pro forma effect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information but will evaluate:

● The accounting for the amendment, and any change in fair value of the warrants immediately prior to, and after the amendment;

● ASC 480 — Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity — if the warrants are to be treated as a liability, it will be recognized at fair value upon issuance and each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in income;

● ASC 815 — Derivative and Hedging — and if the warrant meets the criteria to be accounted for within equity, the fair value of the earn-out will be recognized as a component of equity. If the warrant does not meet the criteria to be accounted for within equity, it will be recognized as a liability at fair value upon issuance and each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in income.

● ASC 850 — Related Party Disclosures — given the arrangement is with an existing shareholder.

The valuation to determine the fair value of the modified warrants and the related results of the accounting may be may material to the Tempo pre-combination financial statements. The potential accounting implications will be recognized in Tempo’s pre-Business Combination financial statements, and is not expected to have a recurring impact following the Business Combination.

Note 5 — Earnouts

Tempo Earnout Company Shares

Following the Closing, the Eligible Tempo Equityholders will have the right to receive up to 7,000,000 Tempo Earnout Shares in two tranches upon the occurrence of the Earnout Triggering Events during the Earnout Period.

● upon the occurrence of Triggering Event I, a one-time aggregate issuance of three and a half million (3,500,000) Company Earnout Shares to Tempo Equityholders will be made. Triggering Event I means the first quarter after the closing date, but within the Earnout Period, on which New Tempo achieves $5.0 million in Adjusted EBITDA;

● upon the occurrence of Triggering Event II, a one-time aggregate issuance of three and a half million (3,500,000) Company Earnout Shares to Tempo Equityholders will be made. Triggering Event II means the first quarter after the closing date, but within the Earnout Period, on which New Tempo achieves $15.0 million in revenue.

Earnout shares issuable to any eligible recipient in respect of Tempo options held by such recipient as of immediately prior to the closing shall be issued to such recipient only if such recipient continues to provide services (whether as an employee, director or individual independent contractor) to New Tempo or one of its subsidiaries through the date of the occurrence of the corresponding Triggering Event.

Earnout Shares Issued to Tempo

The earnout shares to be issued to Tempo equityholders were evaluated under ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, to determine if the earnout award agreements should be classified as a liability. As part of that analysis, it was determined that the earnout shares are freestanding and not liability classified. It was next evaluated whether the earnout shares represented a derivative instrument pursuant to ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Paragraph ASC 815-10-15-74(a) states that a reporting entity shall not consider contracts that are both (a) indexed to an entity’s own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in its statement of financial position to be derivative instruments. In order to conclude that the earnout shares meet this scope exception and

231

whether they should be accounted for as equity under ASC 815-40, it was evaluated whether the earnout shares meet both of these requirements. The preliminary accounting conclusions for the earnout shares under the three separate arrangements resulted in liability classification pursuant to ASC 815-40.

The Company does not expect to achieve the Earnout targets and as such, the Company has not placed value on the liability. The earnout liability will be remeasured at each reporting date with changes in the fair value recorded to earnings.

Earnout Shares Issued to Holders of Tempo Stock Options

The preliminary accounting conclusion related to the grant of Tempo Earnout Shares to existing holders of stock options is considered a compensatory award and accounted for under ASC 718, Share-Based Compensation as the Tempo Earnout Shares are subject to forfeiture based on the satisfaction of certain service conditions. Triggering Event I and Triggering Event II are considered performance conditions. The requisite service condition is the period of time it takes to achieve both performance conditions. As this is not explicitly stated in the earnout arrangement, the service period is implied from the expected period over which the shares are expected to achieve the performance condition. Under this guidance, the award is measured at fair value at the grant (or issue) date and expense is recognized over the implied service period of 1.5 years.

The preliminary estimated fair value of the Tempo Earnout Shares subject to ASC 718 was $13.9 million, assuming the service conditions were met and assuming no forfeitures. The amount was not recorded as stock-based compensation expense in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations as it was not probable the performance condition would be met.

Fair Value of Earnout Shares

The fair value of the Tempo Earnout Consideration that was not subject to ASC 718 was determined by the using the assumed stock price of New Tempo of $10.00 at the grant date and multiplying it by the expected probability of achieving the performance conditions. The Company does not expect to achieve the Earnout targets and as such, the Company has not placed value on the liability.

Note 6 — Net Loss Per Share

Represents the net loss per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Business Combination, and other related events, assuming such additional shares were outstanding since January 1, 2021. As the Business Combination and other related events are being reflected as if they had occurred as of January 1, 2021, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes the shares issued in connection with the Business Combination and other related events have been outstanding for the entire periods presented. Under the maximum redemption scenario, the shares of New Tempo common stock assumed to be redeemed by ACE public shareholders are eliminated as of January 1, 2021.

The following summarizes the number of shares of New Tempo common stock outstanding under the two redemption scenarios for both the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021:

		Assuming
	Assuming No	Maximum

CFPI	1,155,000	1,155,000
Pro forma weighted average shares outstanding – basic and diluted	28,400,297	26,409,686

(1) Excludes approximately 0.6 million shares of New Tempo common stock which remain reserved for options outstanding. At the Closing, Tempo Options will be converted into New Tempo Options, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as in effect with respect to the corresponding Tempo Option. Also, the amount includes approximately 3.7 million shares of New Tempo common stock reserved for Tempo warrants, net of expected exercise proceeds, that are assumed to be exercised prior to Closing. Tempo will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the holder of each outstanding and unexercised warrant of Tempo to exercise their Tempo warrants in exchange for shares of Tempo common stock, and, at the Closing, each Tempo warrant that remains outstanding and exercised will be converted into a New Tempo warrant, exercisable for a number of shares of New Tempo common stock.

(2) Includes 0.2 million shares to be purchased by Sponsor Related PIPE Investors as part of the PIPE Investment and 3.8 million Class B ordinary shares held by the Sponsor which will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of New Tempo common stock.

The following potential outstanding securities were excluded from the computation of pro forma net loss per share, basic and diluted, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive or issuance of such shares is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions which are not satisfied as of the period end for pro forma presentation purposes.

INFORMATION ABOUT ACE

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to ACE prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

General

ACE is a blank check company incorporated on March 31, 2020 as a Cayman Islands exempted company and incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Although ACE is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a business combination, ACE focuses on businesses in the technology industries primarily located in the United States. ACE has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue to date. Based on ACE’s business activities, it is a “shell company” as defined under the Exchange Act because it has no operations and nominal assets consisting almost entirely of cash.

On July 30, 2020, ACE consummated its initial public offering of its units, with each unit consisting of one ACE Class A ordinary share and one-half of one public warrant, which included the full exercise by the underwriters of the over-allotment option. Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, ACE completed the private sale of 6,600,000 private placement warrants at a purchase price of $1.00 per private placement warrant to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to us of $6.6 million. The private placement warrants are identical to the warrants sold as part of the units in ACE’s initial public offering except that, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees: (1) they will not be redeemable by the Company; (2) they (including the shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the Sponsor until 30 days after the completion of ACE’s initial business combination; (3) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis; and (4) they (including the shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) are entitled to registration rights.

Following the closing of ACE’s initial public offering, a total of $230.0 million ($10.00 per unit) of the net proceeds from its initial public offering and the sale of the private placement warrants were placed in the trust account. The proceeds held in the trust account may be invested by the trustee only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasury securities and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. As of June 30, 2022, funds in the trust account totaled approximately $83.4 million. These funds will remain in the trust account, except for the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, if any, until the earliest of (1) the completion of a business combination (including the Closing), (2) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Cayman Constitutional Documents (A) to modify the substance or timing of ACE’s obligation to allow for redemption in connection with ACE’s initial public business combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if it does not complete a business combination by October 13, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, and (3) the redemption of all of the public shares if ACE is unable to complete a business combination by October 13, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), subject to applicable law.

With respect to the regulation of special purpose acquisition companies like ACE (“SPACs”), on March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules (the “SPAC Rule Proposals”) relating to, among other items, disclosures in business combination transactions involving SPACs and private operating companies; the condensed financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; the use of projections by SPACs in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination transactions; the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, including a proposed rule that would provide SPACs a safe harbor from treatment as an investment company if they satisfy certain conditions that limit a SPAC’s duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities.

With regard to the SEC’s investment company proposals included in the SPAC Rule Proposals, while the funds in the trust account have, since ACE’s initial public offering, been held only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasuries, to mitigate the risk of being viewed as operating an unregistered investment company (including pursuant to the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940), on June 22, 2022, ACE instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee managing the trust account, to hold all funds in the trust account in cash until the earlier of consummation of the Business Combination and liquidation of ACE.

Effecting ACE’s Initial Business Combination

Fair Market Value of Target Business

Nasdaq listing rules require that ACE’s Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the assets held in the trust account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the trust account). ACE’s board of directors determined that this test was met in connection with the proposed Business Combination.

Shareholder Approval of Business Combination

ACE is seeking stockholder approval of the Business Combination at the extraordinary general meeting, at which shareholders may elect to redeem their shares, regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the Business Combination Proposal, into their pro rata portion of the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us (net of taxes payable). ACE will consummate the Business Combination only if we have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation and the Condition Precedent Proposals are approved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such public shareholder or any other person with whom such public shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the public shares without the prior consent of ACE. Accordingly, if a public shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the public shares held by them, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash without the prior consent of ACE.

The Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Sponsor Support Agreement, and waive their redemption rights in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination with respect to any founder shares and ordinary shares held by them, subject to the terms and conditions contemplated in the letter agreement, dated as of July 27, 2020.

As of the date of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, and due to (i) the redemption of 14,797,723 public shares in January 2022 and (ii) the redemption of 4,256,979 public shares in connection with the shareholder vote in July 2022, in each case in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the extension of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination, the Sponsor (including ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees) owns 59.31% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares. If ACE is not able to complete the Business Combination with Tempo or another business combination by October 13, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), then the Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold.

Subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material nonpublic information), the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may (i) purchase public shares from institutional and other investors (including those who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the Condition Precedent Proposals, or elect to redeem, or indicate an intention to redeem, public shares), (ii) enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives not redeem their public shares, or (iii) execute agreements to purchase such public shares from such investors or enter into non-redemption agreements in the future. In the event that the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates purchase public shares in situations in which the tender offer rules restrictions on purchases would apply, they (a) would purchase the public shares at a price no higher than the price offered through the ACE redemption process (i.e., approximately $10.17 per share based on trust account figures as of June 30, 2022); (b) would represent in writing that such public shares will not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination; and (c) would waive in writing any redemption rights with respect to the public shares so purchased.

To the extent any such purchases are made by the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates in situations in which the tender offer rules and restrictions on purchases apply, ACE will disclose in a Current Report on Form 8-K prior to the extraordinary general meeting the following: (i) the number of ACE public shares purchased outside of the redemption offer, along with the purchase price(s) for such public shares; (ii) the purpose of any such purchases; (iii) the impact, if any, of the purchases on the likelihood that the Business Combination Proposal will be approved; (iv) the identities of the ACE securityholders who sold to the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of the securityholders (e.g., 5% security

235

holders) who sold such public shares; and (v) the number of ordinary shares for which ACE has received redemption requests pursuant to its redemption offer.

The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of (x) satisfaction of the Minimum Cash Condition, (y) otherwise limiting the number of public shares electing to redeem and (z) ACE’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) being at least $5,000,001. A purchase of warrants by the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Tempo or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may have the effect of increasing share ownership of Tempo on a fully diluted basis.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Consistent with SEC guidance, purchases of shares by the persons described above would not be permitted to be voted for the Business Combination at the extraordinary general meeting and could decrease the chances that the Business Combination would be approved. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our securities and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.

Liquidation if No Business Combination

If ACE has not completed the Business Combination with Tempo by October 13, 2022 and has not completed another business combination by such date, in each case, as such date may be extended pursuant to ACE’s Cayman Constitutional Documents, ACE will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem all of the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest will be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of ACE’s remaining shareholders and its board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees have entered into a letter agreement with ACE, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their ACE Class B ordinary shares if ACE fails to complete its business combination within the required time period. However, if the Sponsor (including ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees) or any of its respective affiliates owns any public shares, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such public shares if ACE fails to complete its business combination within the allotted time period.

The Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees have agreed, pursuant to a written agreement with ACE, that they will not propose any amendment to the Cayman Constitutional Documents (A) to modify the substance or timing of ACE’s obligation to allow for redemption in connection with ACE’s initial business combination or to redeem 100% of its public shares if it does not complete its business combination by January 30, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless ACE provides its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (which interest will be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. However, ACE may not redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 following such redemptions.

ACE expects that all costs and expenses associated with implementing its plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts held outside the trust account, although it cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. However, if those funds are not sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing ACE’s plan of dissolution, to the extent that there is any interest accrued in the trust account not required to pay taxes, ACE may request the trustee to release to us an additional amount of up to $100,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.

The proceeds deposited in the trust account could, however, become subject to the claims of ACE’s creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of ACE’s public shareholders. ACE cannot assure you that the actual per-share redemption amount received by public shareholders will not be substantially less than $10.00. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination and ACE — If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.00 per share (which was the offering price in our initial

236

public offering)” and other risk factors contained herein. While ACE intends to pay such amounts, if any, ACE cannot assure you that ACE will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.

Although ACE will seek to have all vendors, service providers (other than ACE’s independent auditors), prospective target businesses and other entities with which ACE does business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account for the benefit of ACE’s public shareholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the trust account including but not limited to fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against ACE’s assets, including the funds held in the trust account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the trust account, ACE’s management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver only if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative. Examples of possible instances where ACE may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where ACE is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason. Upon redemption of ACE’s public shares, if ACE has not completed ACE’s initial business combination within the required time period, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with ACE’s initial business combination, ACE will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against us within the 10 years following redemption. In order to protect the amounts held in the trust account, Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than ACE’s independent auditors) for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which ACE has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) 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 value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any 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 ACE’s indemnity of the underwriters of ACE’s initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, then the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. ACE has not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and ACE believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of ACE and, therefore, the Sponsor may not be able to satisfy those obligations. None of ACE’s other directors or officers will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

In the event that the proceeds in the trust account are reduced below (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) 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 value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, and the Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, ACE’s independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While ACE currently expects that ACE’s independent directors would take legal action on ACE’s behalf against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that ACE’s independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance. Accordingly, ACE cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per- share redemption price will not be substantially less than $10.00 per share. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination and ACE — If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.00 per share (which was the offering price in our initial public offering)” and other risk factors contained herein.

ACE 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 (other than ACE’s independent auditors), prospective target businesses and other entities with which ACE does business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the trust account. The Sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims under ACE’s indemnity of the underwriters of the initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

If ACE files a winding-up or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary winding-up or bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable insolvency law, and may be included in ACE’s insolvency estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of ACE’s shareholders. To the extent any insolvency claims deplete the trust account, ACE cannot assure you ACE will be able to return $10.00 per share to ACE’s public

237

shareholders. Additionally, if ACE files a winding-up or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary winding-up or bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or insolvency laws as a voidable performance. As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by ACE’s shareholders.

Furthermore, ACE’s board of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to ACE’s creditors or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and us to claims of punitive damages, by paying public shareholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. ACE cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination and ACE — If, after we distribute the proceeds in the trust account to our public shareholders, ACE files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds, and we and our board of directors may be exposed to claims of punitive damages.”

ACE’s public shareholders will be entitled to receive funds from the trust account only upon the earliest to occur of: (1) ACE’s completion of an initial business combination, and then only in connection with those ACE Class A ordinary shares that such shareholder properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described herein; (2) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Cayman Constitutional Documents (A) to modify the substance or timing of ACE’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with ACE’s initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if ACE does not complete ACE’s initial business combination by October 13, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity; and (3) the redemption of the public shares if ACE has not completed an initial business combination by October 13, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), subject to applicable law. In no other circumstances will a shareholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account. Holders of ACE warrants will not have any right to the proceeds held in the trust account with respect to the ACE warrants.

Facilities

ACE currently maintains its executive offices at 1013 Centre Road, Suite 403S, Wilmington DE 19805. ACE considers its current office space adequate for ACE’s current operations.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the principal executive offices of New Tempo will be located at 2460 Alameda St, San Francisco, CA 94103.

Employees

ACE currently has three officers. Members of ACE’s management team are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to ACE’s matters but they intend to devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to ACE’s affairs until ACE has completed ACE’s initial business combination. The amount of time that any members of ACE’s management team will devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for ACE’s business combination and the current stage of the business combination process.

Competition

If ACE succeeds in effecting the Business Combination, there will be, in all likelihood, significant competition from New Tempo’s competitors. ACE cannot assure you that, subsequent to the Business Combination, New Tempo will have the resources or ability to compete effectively. Information regarding New Tempo’s competition is set forth in the sections entitled “Information about Tempo — Competition.”

Number, Terms of Office and Appointment of Directors and Officers

ACE’s board of directors currently consists of six members. The provisions of our Cayman Constitutional Documents may only be amended by a special resolution passed by a majority of at least two-thirds of our ordinary shares attending and voting in a general meeting. Each of ACE’s directors hold office for a two-year term.

Subject to any other special rights applicable to the shareholders, any vacancies on ACE’s board of directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present and voting at the meeting of ACE’s board of directors or by a majority of the holders of ACE’s ordinary shares (or, prior to ACE’s initial business combination, holders of ACE’s founder shares).

ACE’s officers are appointed by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms of office. ACE’s board of directors is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in the Cayman Constitutional Documents, as it deems appropriate. The Cayman Constitutional Documents provide that ACE’s officers may consist of a Chairman, a Chief Executive Officer, a President, a Chief Operating Officer, a Chief Financial Officer, Vice Presidents, a Secretary, Assistant Secretaries, a Treasurer and such other offices as may be determined by the board of directors.

Director Independence

Nasdaq listing standards require that a majority of ACE’s board of directors be independent. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person who is not an executive officer or employee of the company and who, in the board’s opinion, has no relationship which would “interfere with the exercise of independent judgment” in carrying out director responsibilities.

Audit committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act, and the listing standards of Nasdaq. In addition, members of ACE’s compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth under the listing standards of Nasdaq.

240

ACE’s board has determined that each of Kenneth Klein, Omid Tahernia, Ryan Benton and Raquel Chmielewski is an “independent director” under applicable SEC and Nasdaq rules.

ACE’s independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

Ryan Benton is also Chief Financial Officer at Tempo, and Ryan introduced ACE to Tempo during a process in which the Tempo board of directors, with the advice of its financial advisor considered many potential SPAC partnerships. Both boards of directors were made fully aware of Mr. Benton’s role as Chief Financial Officer of Tempo and his status as a member of the board of directors of ACE from the outset and Mr. Benton recused himself from all deliberations and approvals of the ACE board of directors relating to the business combination transaction with Tempo.

Executive Officer and Director Compensation

None of ACE’s directors or executive officers have received any cash compensation for services rendered to ACE. Between July 2020 and June 2021, ACE accrued an obligation to the Sponsor equal to a total of $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. The Sponsor, directors and executive officers, or any of their respective affiliates, are reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. ACE’s audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by ACE to the Sponsor, directors, executive officers or ACE or any of their affiliates. In May 2020, the Sponsor transferred 40,000 founder shares to Kenneth Klein, 35,000 founder shares to each of Omid Tahernia, Ryan Benton and Raquel Chmielewski and 10,000 founder shares to Minyoung Park, at their original per-share purchase price.

ACE is not party to any agreements with its directors or officers that provide for benefits upon termination of employment. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements may influence ACE’s management’s motivation in identifying or selecting a target business and ACE does not believe that the ability of its management to remain with it after the consummation of its initial business combination should be a determining factor in its decision to proceed with any business combination.

Business Combination Developments

On January 7, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Achronix Merger Agreement”) with Achronix Semiconductor Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Achronix”), and Merger Sub. On May 24, 2021, in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we disclosed that the SEC informed the Company that it was investigating certain disclosures made in the Form S-4 relating to the Company’s proposed business combination with Achronix.

On July 11, 2021, we and Achronix entered into a termination and release agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed to mutually terminate the Achronix Merger Agreement.

On October 27, 2021, the Company received a letter from the SEC in connection with its investigation with the following response: “We have concluded the investigation as to ACE Convergence Acquisition Corp. (“ACE”). Based on the information we have as of this date, we do not intend to recommend an enforcement action by the Commission against ACE.”

On October 13, 2021, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Tempo and Merger Sub, which was amended and restated on August 12, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Business Combination contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into Tempo, with Tempo surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Prior to the closing of the Business Combination, the Company shall domesticate as a Delaware corporation and shall be renamed “Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc.”

On July 1, 2022, ACE and Tempo entered into an amendment to the October 13, 2021, Agreement and Plan of Merger, pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, to (i) reduce the Base Purchase Price (as defined therein) from $658,434,783 to $488,375,000, (ii) increase the number of Tempo Earnout Shares from 7,500,000 to 10,000,000, which would vest in two equal tranches of 5,000,000 shares based on Domesticated ACE reaching $10.0 million in EBITDA and $50.0 million in revenue in any quarter during the five-year period following the closing date of the Business Combination, (iii) remove certain covenants and other obligations of the parties relating to the employee stock purchase plan contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (iv) extend the outside date of the Merger Agreement to November 13, 2022.

On August 12, 2022, ACE, Merger Sub and Tempo entered into the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, to (i) reduce the Base Purchase Price from $488,375,000 to $235,000,000, (ii) reduce the number of Tempo Earnout Shares from 10,000,000 to 7,000,000, which will vest in two equal tranches of 3,500,000 shares based on Domesticated ACE reaching $5.0 million in Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and $15.0 million in revenue in any quarter during the five-year period following the closing date, (iii) remove terms relating to the proposed acquisitions by Tempo of each of Whizz

242

and Compass, (iv) reduce the minimum cash condition from $320.0 million to $10.0 million and (v) extend the outside date of the Merger Agreement to December 13, 2022. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, all outstanding shares of Tempo common stock (after giving effect to the Company Preferred Conversion (as defined in the Merger Agreement)) as of immediately prior to the closing, and, together with shares of Tempo common stock reserved in respect of Tempo options as of immediately prior to the closing that will be converted into awards based on Domesticated ACE common stock, will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, or the reservation of (in the case of Tempo options, if and to the extent earned and subject to their respective terms), an aggregate of approximately 23,500,000 shares of Domesticated ACE common stock (at a deemed value of $10.00 per share) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) $235,000,000 by (ii) $10.00, including, as applicable, a number of Tempo Earnout Shares.

On September 7, 2022, ACE and Tempo entered into that certain First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, to increase the Base Purchase Price from $235,000,000 to $257,927,013.

An additional 550,000 shares of Domesticated ACE common stock will be purchased (at a price of $10.00 per share) at the Closing by the PIPE Investors, for a total aggregate purchase price of up to $5,500,000. In addition, the Company originally agreed to issue additional shares of Domesticated ACE common stock to each PIPE Investor in the event that the volume weighted average price per share of Domesticated ACE common stock during the 30 days commencing on the date on which a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of Domesticated ACE common stock acquired by the PIPE Investors is declared effective is less than $10.00 per share (which registration statement the Company has agreed to file pursuant to the subscription agreements entered into in connection with the PIPE Investment). Certain PIPE Investors originally subscribed for $25.0 million of ACE’s 12.0% convertible senior notes due 2025, but such subscription was terminated in January 2022 in connection with the subscription by certain parties for $200.0 million of 15.5% convertible notes. The latter subscription was terminated in July 2022. On September 4, 2022, Tempo, ACE, OCM and Oaktree entered into the Oaktree Termination Letter pursuant to which the termination fee in connection with the Oaktree Subscription Agreement was reduced from 3.5% of the aggregate principal amount of the subscribed notes (approximately $7.0 million) to 0.6% of the aggregate principal amount of the subscribed notes (approximately $1.1 million) if the closing of the Business Combination occurs on or before October 15, 2022, to be paid on the earlier of (i) six months after the Closing and (ii) the date on which either ACE or Tempo commence bankruptcy proceedings. In addition to the Reduced Termination Fee, ACE and Tempo are required to pay approximately $1.2 million in fees and expenses to OCM on the earlier of (x) immediately following the Closing and (y) the Outside Business Combination Date. The Reduced Termination Fee and all other fees and expenses owed to OCM under the Oaktree Termination Letter will accrue interest at a rate of 20% per year, compounding monthly, starting on October 15, 2022. The Oaktree Termination Letter states that if the Business Combination has not been consummated prior to October 15, 2022, on the earliest of (I) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated, (II) the date on which either ACE or Tempo commence bankruptcy proceedings and (III) June 15, 2023, ACE and Tempo will pay OCM the full 3.5% termination fee and all of its accrued and unpaid fees and expenses. To the extent the termination fee and accrued and unpaid fees and expenses are not paid on or prior to June 15, 2023, the unpaid portion of the termination fee (together with all other unpaid fees and expenses) will accrue interest at a rate of 20% per year, compounding monthly, starting on October 15, 2022. Additionally, in March 2022, a ACE SO3 SPV Limited agreed to purchase an unsecured subordinated convertible note in an aggregate principal amount of $20.0 million in connection with the Closing, which agreement was terminated in July 2022.

On January 18, 2022, ACE and Tempo entered into certain convertible promissory notes (the “PIPE Promissory Notes”) with certain PIPE Investors affiliated with Tempo, pursuant to which such investors agreed to loan to Tempo up to an aggregate of $5 million, which loans may be converted into shares of Domesticated ACE common stock at a conversion price of $10.00 per share. On August 25, 2022, the PIPE Promissory Notes were amended and restated on substantially similar terms to the August 2022 Bridge Notes.

On July 6, 2022, the Company entered into Second Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements (the “Second A&R Subscription Agreements”) with each of the PIPE Investors. Pursuant to the Second A&R Subscription Agreements, among other things, the parties agreed to reduce the minimum Adjustment Period VWAP (as defined therein) from $6.50 to $4.00. Additionally, ACE agreed (1) to issue 2,000,000 additional shares (“PIPE Incentive Shares”) to the PIPE Investors on a pro rata basis as an incentive to subscribe for and purchase the shares under the Second A&R Subscription Agreements, (2) that if the Adjustment Period VWAP is less than $10.00 per share, the number of additional shares each PIPE Investor would be entitled to receive would be (i) (A) (x) the number of shares issued to such PIPE Investor at the closing of the subscription and held by such PIPE Investor on the Measurement Date (as defined in the Second A&R Subscription Agreements), times (y) $10.00, minus the Adjustment Period VWAP, minus (B) the number of PIPE Incentive Shares, times the Adjustment Period VWAP, divided by (ii) the Adjustment Period VWAP, and (3) to issue additional shares of Domesticated ACE common stock to each PIPE Investor in the event that the Additional Period VWAP (as defined in the Second A&R Subscription Agreements) is less than the Adjustment Period VWAP. In such case, each PIPE

243

Investor would be entitled to receive a number of shares of Domesticated ACE common stock equal to the lesser of (1) such PIPE Investor’s pro rata portion of 2,000,000 shares, and (2) (i) (A) (x) the number of shares issued to such PIPE Investor pursuant to such subscription agreement and held by such PIPE Investor on the last day of the Additional Period (as defined in the Second A&R Subscription Agreements), times (y) the Adjustment Period VWAP, minus the Additional Period VWAP, minus (B) the number of PIPE Incentive Shares, times the Additional Period VWAP, divided by (ii) the Additional Period VWAP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Domesticated ACE consummates a strategic transaction during the 15-month period beginning on the closing date, then the measurement date for the issuance of such additional shares would be one day prior to the closing date of such strategic transaction, and the Additional Period VWAP would be deemed to equal the price per share paid or payable to the holders of outstanding shares of Domesticated ACE common stock in connection with such strategic transaction. If such price is payable in whole or in part in the form of consideration other than cash, the value of such consideration will be (a) with respect to any securities, (i) the average of the closing prices of the sales of such securities on all securities exchanges on which such securities are then listed, averaged over a period of 30 trading days ending on the day as of which such value is being determined and the 29 consecutive days preceding such day, or (ii) if the information contemplated by the preceding clause (i) is not practically available, then the fair value of such securities as of the date of valuation as determined in accordance with the succeeding clause (b), and (b) with respect to any other non-cash assets, the fair value thereof as of the date of valuation, as determined by an independent, nationally recognized valuation firm reasonably selected by Domesticated ACE, on the basis of an orderly sale to a willing, unaffiliated buyer in an arm’s-length transaction, taking into account all factors determinative of value as the investment banking firm determines relevant (and giving effect to any transfer taxes payable in connection with such sale).

On September 7, 2022, ACE entered into Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements with each of the PIPE Investors, which amend and restate the applicable Second Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements in their entirety. One of the Third Party PIPE Investors who entered into the Second A&R Subscription Agreement did not enter into the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreement and terminated its Second A&R Subscription Agreement on September 7, 2022. Pursuant to the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements, ACE has agreed to issue additional shares of New Tempo common stock to each PIPE Investor in the event that the volume weighted average price per share of New Tempo common stock (the “Measurement Period VWAP”) during the 30 days commencing on the date on which a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of New Tempo common stock acquired by such PIPE Investors (the “PIPE Resale Registration Statement”) is declared effective is less than $10.00 per share. In such case, each PIPE Investor will be entitled to receive a number of shares of New Tempo common stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of New Tempo common stock issued to such PIPE Investor at the closing of the subscription and held by such PIPE Investor through the date that is 30 days after the effective date of the PIPE Resale Registration Statement (the “Measurement Date”) multiplied by (y) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is $10.00 minus the Adjustment Period VWAP (as defined below) and (B) the denominator of which is the Adjustment Period VWAP. In the event that the Adjustment Period VWAP is less than $4.00 (the “Price Floor Value”), the Adjustment Period VWAP shall be deemed to be the Price Floor Value.

ACE has also agreed to issue up to 500,000 additional shares of New Tempo common stock to each such PIPE Investor in the event that the Additional Period VWAP (as defined below) is less than the Adjustment Period VWAP. In such case, each such PIPE Investor will be entitled to receive a number of shares of New Tempo common stock equal to the lesser of (1) such PIPE Investor’s pro rata portion of 500,000 additional shares of New Tempo common stock, and (2) (i) (A) (x) the number of shares issued to such PIPE Investor pursuant to such subscription agreement and held by such PIPE Investor on the last day of the 30 calendar day period ending on the date that is 15 months following the closing of the subscriptions (such 30 calendar day period, the “Additional Period”), times (y) the Adjustment Period VWAP, minus the average of the volume weighted average price of a share of New Tempo common stock determined for each of the trading days during the Additional Period (the “Additional Period VWAP”), minus (B) the number of PIPE Incentive Shares, times the Additional Period VWAP, divided by (ii) the Additional Period VWAP.

Additionally, ACE has agreed to issue up to 2,000,000 additional shares (the “PIPE Incentive Shares”) to such PIPE Investors on a pro rata basis with respect to each PIPE Investor’s subscription amount as an incentive to subscribe for and purchase the shares under the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that New Tempo consummates a strategic transaction during the 15-month period beginning on the closing date, then the measurement date for the issuance of such additional shares shall be one day prior to the closing date of such strategic transaction, and the Additional Period VWAP will be deemed to equal the price per share paid or payable to the holders of outstanding shares of New Tempo common stock in connection with such strategic transaction. If such price is payable in whole or in part in the form of consideration other than cash, the value of such consideration will be (a) with respect to any securities, (i) the average of the closing prices of the sales of such securities on all securities exchanges on which such securities are then listed, averaged over a period of 30 trading days ending on the day as of which such value is being determined and the 29 consecutive days preceding such day, or if the information contemplated by the preceding clause (i) is not practically available, then

244

the fair value of such securities as of the date of valuation as determined in accordance with the succeeding clause (b), and (b) with respect to any other non-cash assets, the fair value thereof as of the date of valuation, as determined by an independent, nationally recognized valuation firm reasonably selected by New Tempo, on the basis of an orderly sale to a willing, unaffiliated buyer in an arm’s-length transacti on, taking into account all factors determinative of value as the investment banking firm determines relevant (and giving effect to any transfer taxes payable in connection with such sale).

One of the PIPE Investors’ subscription agreement provides that, if such PIPE Investor is an Eligible Investor (defined as any subscriber in the offering who is not a beneficial or record owner of ACE’s equity or an affiliate of ACE prior to the Initial Closing (as defined therein)), if, after the date of such subscription agreement, such PIPE Investor acquires ownership of ACE’s Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions with third parties (along with any related rights to redeem or convert such shares in connection with the redemption conducted by ACE in connection with the vote to approve the Business Combination (the “Tempo Redemption”)) at least five business days prior to ACE’s extraordinary general meeting to approve the Business Combination, and such PIPE Investor does not redeem or convert such shares in connection with the Tempo Redemption (including revoking any prior redemption or conversion elections made with respect to such shares) (such shares, “PIPE Non-Redeemed Shares”), the number of shares such PIPE Investor (only if an Eligible Investor) will be obligated to purchase under its subscription agreement shall be reduced by the number of PIPE Non-Redeemed Shares.

The proceeds of the PIPE Investment, together with the amounts remaining in ACE’s trust account as of immediately following the effective time of the Business Combination, will be retained by Domesticated ACE following the Closing.

Concurrently with the execution of the Agreement and Plan of Merger on October 13, 2021, the Backstop Investor entered into a backstop subscription agreement (the “Backstop Subscription Agreement”) with ACE, pursuant to, and on the terms and subject to the conditions on which, the Backstop Investor committed to purchase, following the Domestication and prior to or substantially concurrently with the Closing, up to 2,500,000 shares of Domesticated ACE common stock, in a private placement for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of up to $25,000,000, to backstop certain redemptions by ACE shareholders. On March 16, 2022, ACE and the Backstop Investor terminated the Backstop Subscription Agreement in connection with the execution of the Cantor Purchase Agreement (as defined below).

On October 13, 2021, ACE entered into a Sponsor Support Agreement (the “Original Sponsor Support Agreement”), by and among ACE, the Sponsor, certain of ACE’s directors and officers and Tempo, pursuant to which the Sponsor and each director and officer of ACE agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Original Sponsor Support Agreement.

On July 6, 2022, the parties to the Original Sponsor Support Agreement entered into an amendment thereto (the “SSA Amendment”), pursuant to which, among other things, certain Sponsors (as defined therein, and, each, an “Earnout Sponsor”) agreed, immediately prior to the Domestication, to contribute, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to ACE an aggregate of 5,595,000 founder shares in exchange for an aggregate of 3,595,000 Class A Ordinary Shares of ACE (the “SSA Exchange”). Pursuant to the SSA Amendment, the Earnout Sponsors also agreed to subject an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares (“Sponsor Earnout Shares”) received in the SSA Exchange to certain earnout vesting conditions or, should such shares fail to vest, forfeiture to ACE for no consideration. On the earlier of (i) the date which is 15 months following the closing of the Business Combination and (ii) immediately prior to the closing of a strategic transaction, the Sponsor Earnout Shares will vest in an amount equal to (A) the number of Sponsor Earnout Shares, less (B) the number of Additional Period Shares (as defined therein), if any, issuable in the aggregate under the Second A&R Subscription Agreements. In the event of a strategic transaction, the holders of any vested Sponsor Earnout Shares will be eligible to participate in such strategic transaction with respect to such Sponsor Earnout Shares on the same terms, and subject to the same conditions, as the other holders of shares of Domesticated ACE common stock generally.

On August 12, 2022, the parties to the SSA Amendment entered into a Second Amendment to Sponsor Support Agreement (the “Second SSA Amendment”), pursuant to which the SSA Exchange was amended such that the Earnout Sponsors agreed, immediately prior to the Domestication, to contribute, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to ACE an aggregate of 5,595,000 founder shares in exchange for an aggregate of 3,095,000 Class A Ordinary Shares. Pursuant to the Second SSA Amendment, the Earnout Sponsors also agreed to reduce the number of Sponsor Earnout Shares to 500,000. On the earlier of (i) the date which is fifteen (15) months following the closing of the Business Combination and (ii) immediately prior to the closing of a strategic transaction, the Sponsor Earnout Shares will vest in an amount equal to (A) the number of Sponsor Earnout Shares, less (B) the number of Additional Period Shares (as defined therein), if any, issuable in the aggregate under the Third Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements. In the event of a strategic transaction, the holders of any vested Sponsor Earnout Shares will be eligible to participate in such strategic

245

transaction with respect to such Sponsor Earnout Shares on the same terms, and subject to the same conditions, as the other holders of shares of Domesticated ACE common stock generally.

On October 13, 2021, ACE entered into a support agreement (the “Tempo Holders Support Agreement”), by and among ACE, Tempo and certain stockholders of Tempo (the “Tempo Stockholders”). Pursuant to the Tempo Holders Support Agreement, the Tempo Stockholders agreed to, among other things, vote to adopt and approve, upon the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (as defined therein), the Merger Agreement and all other documents and transactions contemplated thereby, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of Tempo Holders Support Agreement, and vote against any alternative merger, purchase of assets or proposals that would impede, frustrate, prevent or nullify any provision of the Merger, the Merger Agreement or the Tempo Holders Support Agreement or result in a breach of any covenant, representation, warranty or any other obligation or agreement thereunder.

On March 16, 2022, ACE entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Cantor Purchase Agreement”) with CF Principal Investments LLC (“CFPI”). Pursuant to the Cantor Purchase Agreement, Domesticated ACE will have the right from time to time at its option following the Closing to sell to CFPI up to $100.0 million of Domesticated ACE common stock, subject to certain customary conditions and limitations set forth in the Cantor Purchase Agreement. Sales of Domesticated ACE common stock to CFPI under the Cantor Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any sales, will be determined by Domesticated ACE from time to time in its sole discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of shares of Domesticated ACE common stock and determinations by Domesticated ACE regarding the use of proceeds of such sales. The net proceeds from any sales under the Cantor Purchase Agreement will depend on the frequency with, and prices at, which the shares of Domesticated ACE common stock are sold to CFPI. Domesticated ACE expects to use the proceeds from any sales under the Cantor Purchase Agreement for the payment of certain transaction expenses relating to the Business Combination and working capital and general corporate purposes. Following the Closing, and upon the initial satisfaction of the conditions to CFPI’s obligation to purchase shares of Domesticated ACE common stock set forth in the Cantor Purchase Agreement, including that a registration statement registering the resale of such shares of Domesticated ACE common stock under the Securities Act is declared effective by the SEC and a final prospectus relating thereto is filed with the SEC, Domesticated ACE will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at its sole discretion until the first day of the month next following the 36-month period from and after the Commencement (as defined therein), to direct CFPI to purchase up to a specified maximum amount of shares of Domesticated ACE common stock as set forth in the Cantor Purchase Agreement by delivering written notice to CFPI prior to the commencement of trading on any trading day. The purchase price of the shares of Domesticated ACE common stock that the Company elects to sell pursuant to the Cantor Purchase Agreement will be 97% of the volume weighted average price of the shares of Domesticated ACE common stock during the applicable purchase date on which written notice has been timely delivered to CFPI directing it to purchase shares of Domesticated ACE common stock under the Cantor Purchase Agreement. In connection with the execution of the Cantor Purchase Agreement, ACE agreed to issue shares of Domesticated ACE common stock to CFPI as consideration for its irrevocable commitment to purchase the shares of Domesticated ACE common stock upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Cantor Purchase Agreement. In connection with ACE’s entry into the Cantor Purchase Agreement, ACE and CFPI entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Cantor Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which Domesticated ACE has agreed to register for resale, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the shares of Domesticated ACE common stock that are sold to CFPI under the facility, including the shares of Domesticated ACE common stock to be issued to CFPI as consideration for its irrevocable commitment to purchase the shares of Domesticated ACE common stock, from time to time.

On July 1, 2022, ACE, Tempo and AEPI entered into the Bridge Note, pursuant to which AEPI agreed to loan to Tempo up to an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000, $2,500,000 of which was advanced to Tempo as of June 30, 2022. On August 25, 2022, in connection with the Bridge Financing, the Bridge Note was amended and restated on substantially similar terms to the August 2022 Bridge Notes. In connection therewith, ACE also entered into the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement.

In connection with the entry into the Bridge Note, on July 1, 2022, AEPI and ACE entered into the Bridge Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which AEPI agreed, at the closing of the Tempo Business Combination, to subscribe for up to 500,000 shares of Domesticated ACE common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. The number of shares AEPI committed to purchase would be automatically reduced in an amount equal to (a) the difference between $5,000,000 and the Bridge Note Drawn Amount, divided by (b) $10.00, rounded up to the nearest whole share. On September 7, 2022, the Bridge Subscription Agreement was terminated in its entirety in connection with the amendment and restatement by ACE, Tempo and AEPI of the Bridge Note in connection with the Bridge Financing.

On September 7, 2022, the parties to the Sponsor Support Agreement entered into the Third SSA Amendment, pursuant to which the parties agreed to increase the number of shares issued in the aggregate in the SSA Exchange from 3,095,000 to 3,595,000, and to increase the number of Sponsor Earnout Shares from 500,000 to 1,000,000.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from inception to June 30, 2022, were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for our initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), described below, and, after the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination. Prior to holding all funds in the trust account established in connection with the Initial Public Offering (the “Trust Account”) in cash, we generated non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with completing a business combination.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net income of $10,135,295, which consists of the change in fair value of warrant liability of $11,245,389 and interest earned on investment held in the Trust Account of $105,409, offset by operating costs of $1,215,503.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net income of $9,076,805, which consists of the change in fair value of warrant liability of $11,318,082 and interest earned on investment held in the Trust Account of $113,123, offset by operating costs of $2,354,400.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $1,042,594, which consists of the change in fair value of warrant liability of $171,825 and operating costs of $885,864, offset by interest earned on investment held in the Trust Account of $15,095.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $12,567,023, which consists of the change in fair value of warrant liability of $10,483,385 and operating costs of $2,138,846, offset by interest earned on investment held in the Trust Account of $55,208.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Until the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of Class B ordinary shares by our Sponsor and loans from our Sponsor.

On July 30, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 units (“Units”), which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of an aggregate of 6,600,000 Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $6,600,000.

Following the Initial Public Offering, the exercise of the over-allotment option and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $230,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $13,273,096 in transaction costs, including $4,600,000 of underwriting fees, $8,050,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $623,096 of other offering costs in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $857,014. Net income of $9,076,805 was affected by change in the fair value of the warrant liability of $11,318,082 and interest earned on investments of $113,123. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $1,497,386 of cash from operating activities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $880,323. Net loss of $12,567,023 was affected by interest income on investment held in the Trust Account of $55,209 and change in fair value of warrant liability of $10,483,385. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $1,258,524 of cash from operating activities.

As of June 30, 2022, we had $83,421,902 in cash held in the Trust Account. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less taxes payable (if applicable) and deferred underwriting commissions) to complete our initial business combination. To the extent that our shares or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the post-initial business combination entity, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

247

As of June 30, 2022, we had no cash held outside of the Trust Account. We intend to use any funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, properties or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a business combination.

On August 12, 2020, we entered into a working capital facility (the “Working Capital Facility”) with ASIA-IO in the net amount of $900,000. The funds from the Working Capital Facility shall be utilized to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination. The Working Capital Facility is non-interest bearing, non-convertible and due to be repaid upon the consummation of a business combination. In return, we deposited $900,000 into an account held by ASIA-IO, from which we may make fund withdrawals for up to $1,500,000. Any outstanding amounts deposited with ASIA-IO upon the completion of a business combination or dissolution of the Company, shall be returned to us. As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had $829,294 and $527,756 borrowings under the Working Capital Facility, respectively.

On January 13, 2022, in connection with the Company’s extension of the date by which it must complete an initial business combination, the Sponsor agreed to contribute to the Company as a loan (the “Sponsor Loan”) $0.03 for each Class A Ordinary Share of the Company that was not redeemed in connection with the shareholder vote to approve such extension, for each month (or a pro rata portion thereof if less than a month) until the earlier of (i) the date of the extraordinary general meeting held in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the Business Combination and (ii) $1.5 million has been loaned. Up to $1.5 million of the loans may be settled in whole warrants to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company at a conversion price equal to $1.00 per warrant. The loan will not bear any interest, and will be repayable by ACE to the Sponsor upon the earlier of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination and the consummation of the Business Combination. The maturity date of the Sponsor Loan may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined therein). Any outstanding principal under the Sponsor Loan may be prepaid at any time by ACE, at its election and without penalty, provided, however, that the Sponsor shall have a right to first convert such principal balance as described in Section 6 of the Sponsor Loan upon notice of such prepayment. On June 30, 2022, ACE and the Sponsor amended and restated the Sponsor Loan in its entirety to, among other things, increase the aggregate principal amount available thereunder from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000, contingent upon the approval by the Company’s shareholders of the proposal to extend the date by which the Company must complete an initial business combination to October 13, 2022, which proposal was approved by special resolution at an extraordinary general meeting on July 12, 2022. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company contributed $492,136 and $738,206 to the Trust Account, respectively. Monthly deposits into the Trust Account following the July 2022 redemptions are based on the number of Class A Ordinary Shares still outstanding following such redemptions. On August 28, 2022, ACE and the Sponsor amended and restated the Sponsor Loan in its entirety to, among other things, increase the aggregate principal amount available thereunder from $2,000,000 to $2,125,000, the effectiveness of which is conditioned upon the approval by ACE’s shareholders of the proposal to amend ACE’s Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which ACE must consummate an initial business combination from October 13, 2022, to January 30, 2023. Monthly deposits into ACE’s trust account following such extension will be based on the number of public shares still outstanding following such extension.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants identical to the Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender.

Going Concern

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had no cash in its operating bank accounts, $83,421,902 in cash held in the Trust Account to be used for a business combination or to repurchase or redeem its ordinary shares in connection therewith and a working capital deficit of $10,251,609.

The Company intends to complete a business combination by October 13, 2022 (or, as such date may be extended, such extended date). However, in the absence of a completed business combination, the Company will require additional capital. The Company as of June 30, 2022, has no cash held outside of trust and will require further capital contribution from the Sponsor, management, or related parties. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, suspending the pursuit of a business combination. The Company cannot provide any

248

assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through one year from the date of the financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, if a business combination is not consummated. Such financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

We have until October 13, 2022 (as such date may be extended), to consummate a business combination. It is uncertain that we will be able to consummate a business combination by this time. If a business combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. Management has determined that the mandatory liquidation, should a business combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after October 13, 2022.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2022. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than as described below.

We entered into an agreement to pay our Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, administrative and support services. We began incurring these fees in July 2020 and will continue to incur these fees on a monthly basis until the earlier of the completion of a business combination and the Company’s liquidation.

We have an agreement to pay the underwriters a deferred fee of $8,050,000, which will become payable to them from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of condensed consolidated 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:

Warrant Liability

We account for the Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40 under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, we classify the Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of operations. The Private Placement Warrants (and the Public Warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available) are valued using a Modified Black Scholes Model. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the Public Warrant quoted market price was used as the fair value as of each relevant date.

Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption

We account for our ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption is

249

classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that features redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Our ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Net income (loss) per ordinary share

Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Recent Accounting Standards

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

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable for smaller reporting companies.

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 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

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

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 as of June 30, 2022. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Remediation of a Material Weakness

We recognize the importance of the control environment as it sets the overall tone for the Company and is the foundation for all other components of internal control. Consequently, we designed and implemented remediation measures to address the material weakness related to the Company’s financial reporting of complex financial instruments and enhance our internal control over financial reporting. In light of the material weakness, we enhanced our processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements, including providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents. The foregoing actions were completed as of March 31, 2022, and we believe we have remediated the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting.

250

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company has made changes in its internal control over financial reporting to enhance our processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand the nuances of the financial reporting of complex financial instruments that apply to our financial statements, including providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding financial reporting of complex financial instruments. The Company can offer no assurance that these changes will ultimately have the intended effects.

INFORMATION ABOUT TEMPO

Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this “Information About Tempo” to “we”, “us” and “our” are intended to mean the business and operations of Tempo and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Company Overview

Tempo is a leading software-accelerated electronics manufacturer that aims to transform the product development process for the world’s innovators. We believe that our proprietary software platform, with artificial intelligence (“AI”) that learns from every order, redefines the customer journey and accelerates time-to-market. Our profit, growth, and strong margins are unlocked by a differentiated customer experience and software-enabled efficiencies. We anticipate that our growth and data accrual will be accelerated via tech-enabled M&A in our highly fragmented industry.

Founded in 2013, Tempo is headquartered in San Francisco, California and serves more than 100 customers out of one manufacturing facility.

We work with companies across industries, including space, semiconductor, aviation and defense, medical device, as well as industrials and e-commerce. Our customers include hardware engineers, engineering program managers, and procurement and supply chain personnel from businesses of a variety of sizes, ranging from Fortune 500 companies to start-ups. The electronics within their products are most often manufactured as Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (“PCBAs”). The PCBA manufacturing process typically takes two inputs: 1) semiconductor components, and 2) a Printed Circuit Board (“PCB”), which consists of pads that receive the components and traces that connect them. The assembly process typically consists of attaching the semiconductor components to the PCB using a paste (solder paste), then curing the paste in an oven such that a strong electrical and mechanical bond is formed. Given the varied requirements of different contexts, customers typically will design different, custom PCBAs for each of their products.

During the initial phases of product development, up until a product is deemed production worthy (or, in the case where production quantities are less than 1,000, through production), customers demand quick turnaround times and the highest quality from their vendors to ensure they are not slowed down in their ramp to release new products. Based on IPC’s 2012-2013, 2018, and 2019 Annual Reports and Forecasts for the North American EMS Industry, the estimated size of this electronics prototyping and on-demand production market in the United States is approximately $290 billion. Yet, most of these electronics have historically been produced by small manufacturers who have been largely ignored by software and AI and therefore struggle to consistently satisfy customer demands manually.

Tempo has developed a technology-enabled manufacturing platform to streamline this electronic product realization process, thereby helping our customers bring new products to market faster. We believe that our platform offers customer benefits that are highly desired by the market and not available from alternative solutions through our:

● Front-end customer portal, which provides frictionless quoting, ordering, and complex data ingestion via a secure cloud-based interface. Our front-end customer portal offers analysis, interpretation, and visual rendering of engineering, design, and supply chain data with minimal human involvement, which ultimately allows hardware engineers to reach a manufacturable design quickly and efficiently.

● Back-end manufacturing software, which is a continuous, bi-directional digital thread that connects our customers to our smart factories, weaving together manufacturing processes and design data. In it, our data-experienced AI flags and prevents potential production issues. It is extendable and manageable across multiple sites and locations.

252

● Connected network of smart factories, which deliver turnkey printed circuit board fabrication and assembly. Data from every build fuels the Tempo AI, increasing efficiencies and streamlining processes.

Tempo’s software platform helps companies iterate faster. In the status quo, each of quoting, manufacturability review, procurement, setup, and manufacturing are manual processes. We estimate that, on average, these production process steps collectively take approximately 20 days when executed manually. By contrast, with Tempo’s automated approach, these processes could be completed in approximately five days.

Industry Background and Competition

We focus on the approximately $290B US electronics prototype and on-demand manufacturing industry

Whether a product launch consists of fewer than 1,000 units per month (what we call on-demand production; examples include satellites and hospital operating room capital equipment) or more than one thousand units per month (what we call volume production; examples include the printed circuit boards within electric cars and laptop computers), the product development process is the same. In its February 2010 report, “Why Printed Circuit Board Design Matters to the Executive,” Aberdeen Group, LLC (the “Aberdeen Group”) estimated that the average electronics product goes through 14 iterations before it gets to market. Each iteration typically requires a small number of PCBAs to be produced, i.e. 10-100 units, and that number often grows for later iterations. Eventually, the product is declared manufacturing-ready, and transitions to a production phase.

Based on the IPC’s 2012-2013, 2018, and 2019 Annual Reports and Forecasts for the North American EMS Industry, each year, companies spend an estimated $2.0 trillion on electronics manufacturing. Outside of the United States, prototype and on-demand production is estimated at $375 billion, while volume production is estimated at $1.3 trillion. The United States has the opposite mix:

253

while only $60 billion is spent on volume production, there is approximately $290 billion spent on prototype and on-demand production, which is Tempo’s primary market.

The electronics prototype and on-demand production market has different dynamics than that of the volume production market. While volume production often has one design iteration parked on a production line for several months, a prototype and on-demand production line may see 14 iterations of a design in that same period of time. There are often more than three iterations, including those of different designs, on a production line at a given time. There are other unique attributes that typify manufacturing in a high mix/low volume factory, including the practice that semiconductor component inventory is typically procured just-in-time and anywhere from two to upwards of 10 change orders are typical for a given design iteration, both of which amplify the need for quick procurement and logistics. While volume production is usually focused on minimizing cost, prototype and on-demand production are typically focused on minimizing time to market.

Many high-growth verticals require high-quality, increasingly complex electronics. According to the July 2020 report, “Space: Investing in the Final Frontier,” published by Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, the space industry is set to grow from $350 billion to over $1.0 trillion by 2040. According to “McKinsey on Semiconductors,” published by McKinsey & Company, LLC in 2019, the semiconductor industry is expected to reach $362 billion by 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 7.2% from 2020 through 2025. The aviation and defense industry is expected to reach $850 billion by 2026 based on a compound annual growth rate of 9% from 2019 through 2026 according to the February 2021 research report, “Aircraft Manufacturing Market By Type (Gliders, Helicopters, Ultra-Light Aircraft, Passenger Aircraft, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle & Drones, and Airships), and By Application (Military & Defense, Civil, Commercial and Others): Global Industry Outlook, Market Size, Business Intelligence, Consumer Preferences, Statistical Surveys, Comprehensive Analysis, Historical Developments, Current Trends, and Forecasts, 2020–2026,” published by Facts & Factors Research. The medical device industry is expected to reach $600 billion by 2023 based on an anticipated compound annual growth rate of 6.1% from 2021 through 2023 according to the September 2021 research report, “Medical Devices Global Market Opportunities And Strategies To 2030: COVID-19 Impact and Recovery,” published by The Business Research Company. Additionally, according to the December 2020 study, “Industrial IoT (IIoT) Market by Component, Application (Robotics, Maintenance, Monitoring, Resource Optimization, Supply Chain, Management), Industry (Aerospace, Automotive, Energy, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Retail), and Region - Global Forecast to 2027” published by Meticulous Market Research Pvt. Ltd., the industrial and ecommerce industry is expected to reach $260 billion by 2027, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 16.7% from 2020 through 2027.

The outsourced industry is currently underserved by a highly fragmented, low-tech market

The outsourced electronics manufacturing market in the United States is currently served primarily by small businesses that are often owner-operated. Based on IPC’s 2019 Annual Report and Forecast for the North American EMS Industry, approximately 1,100, or 77%, of those companies have annual gross revenues of less than $50 million, 7% have annual gross revenues between $50 million and $500 million, and the remaining 16%, many of which are volume manufacturers who often refer out prototype and on-demand production business, have annual gross revenues of $500 million or more.

Tempo primarily competes, and New Tempo is expected to compete, against the 77% of companies in the initial group with annual gross revenues of less than $50 million. Tempo believes that these companies typically have an aging, expert workforce that is retiring, along with their manufacturing knowledge. Based on IPC’s October 2021 report, “The Current Sentiment of the Global Electronics Manufacturing Supply Chain,” approximately 80% of electronics manufacturing companies are finding it “somewhat” or “extremely” difficult to hire highly qualified workers.

The highly manual status quo slows the product development process. CAD and design files are sent through various methods, reviewed by humans, and produced labor-intensively. The disconnected processes are technologically underserved. The result is a process that is slow, arduous, opaque, unreliable, and of unpredictable quality.

Our Solutions and Technology

Software-accelerated electronics manufacturing: a digital thread from design to delivery

Tempo, by contrast, weaves a digital thread, from first touch to delivery. Patents underpin the algorithms that analyze the design, determine component availability, deliver a quote, and set up the manufacturing line.

254

Tempo’s process begins with customers uploading design files to our customer portal. Our platform proceeds to capture and preserve the engineer’s design intent, provide a rapid quote, and accept their order with minimal human interaction.

255

Our platform also underpins the logistics required to execute electronics manufacturing. It automatically confirms the manufacturability of the design, orders components via integrated interfaces with pre-qualified raw material vendors, and programs the factory for assembly.

The platform then streamlines electronics assembly. It automatically monitors manufacturing execution data for the sake of driving higher yields, confirms product quality, and tracks orders to ensure that they are on-time.

Tempo’s automated platform connects processes across disciplines, bridges gaps, and eliminates regrettable processing errors, setting Tempo apart from the manual processes typical of electronics manufacturing’s status quo.

The Tempo Visualizer

The Tempo Visualizer (the “Visualizer”) provides our customers with the analog of a print preview and spellcheck capability for electronics design. When a customer uploads their design data, the Visualizer creates a realistic, rendered image of what we intend to

256

produce. We then overlay data from the digital thread onto this view. Through the Visualizer, we can surface which of the customer’s semiconductor components are difficult to stock and provide alternatives. Additionally, we can highlight details of manufacturing issues that came up and were resolved during production — not only for this iteration of the customer’s design, but for previous iterations as well.

Software-driven manufacturing and manufacturing-driven software

With our automated platform as a starting point, we are creating a self-driving factory, a factory run by the expertise of personnel, augmented by AI. The Tempo platform is central to driving a virtuous data cycle. With each incremental customer order, we collect more information on a broader range of parts and designs, which deepens the experience in the system. All this data is fuel for machine learning, improving our models, and driving ever-improving results. That benefits not only our bottom line, but also delights our customers, resulting in increased orders. Backed by this data-led experience, the Tempo platform evolves with machine intelligence.

Since incremental orders in the customer journey are learned, the platform gets smarter by noticing key differences as orders are placed. This means follow-on revisions go faster and have higher quality. Because the platform has been central in highlighting issues early in the process and noting their resolution, it begins to formulate solutions and offer suggestions proactively, helping the customer avoid problems entirely.

Given that all of the processes and data are run through a distributed cloud-based computing system, the experience, knowledge and skills from our factory based in San Francisco are fully portable and applicable to other acquired facilities and any facilities to be acquired in the future. What’s learned in one factory is immediately shared with the rest. Factories running on the platform benefit from mutual, shared experience. By combining our acquisition strategy with our technology strategy, we get a difference in kind, not just a difference in scale. We have designed the Tempo platform to not just inform our factory, but to be scalable to transform our industry.

257

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe that we have a number of competitive strengths that will enable our market leadership to grow. Our competitive strengths include:

● Tech-enabled customer experience. We believe that manual power is unable to compete with an automated platform that connects processes across disciplines, bridges gaps, and minimizes regrettable processing errors. We also believe that the speed, quality, and seamlessness that we deliver to our customers through our platform sets us apart from our competitors.

● Large and growing scale of data. With each successive customer order, we collect more information on a broader range of parts and designs, which deepens the experience in the system. All this data is fuel for machine learning, improving our models, and driving ever-improving results. We expect to increase the rate of our data accumulation through our M&A strategy.

● Foundational patents. Our patents cover key elements of digitizing the electronics manufacturing process from end-to-end.

● Visionary and experienced management team. Our management team has a track record of building strong technology businesses and successfully executing M&A strategies. We believe they are well-positioned to lead the company in the journey ahead.

Our Growth Strategies

New Tempo’s growth strategy has two elements:

● Enhance our automated, intelligent process to benefit the customer experience.  As we take more orders, we accumulate more data. More data helps us deliver a better customer experience, which, in turn, drives more orders — a virtuous cycle. Further, additional orders yield additional gross profit, which we can use to accelerate our R&D investment in our software platform.

● Make disciplined inorganic investments. The $290 billion fragmented landscape is a target-rich environment for tech-enabled M&A, with an estimated 34 M&A transactions completed in the North American electronics manufacturing services (which we refer to as PCBA) and PCB sectors in 2021 according to GP Ventures, Ltd as of January 2022. To execute this strategy, we plan to leverage our leadership team’s decades of acquisition and integration experience. We expect that our software platform will confer top-line and bottom-line benefits to the targets we acquire. In addition, we expect that future acquisitions will provide further fuel, in the form of data, for enhancing our platform.

Our Customers

New Tempo will serve more than 100 customers across the space, semiconductor, aviation and defense, medical device, and industrial and ecommerce industries. New Tempo’s customers will include six of the top ten space companies, two of the top ten semiconductor companies, six of the top ten aviation and defense companies, seven of the top ten medical device companies, and four of the top ten industrial and ecommerce companies by market capitalization. We have one customer that accounted for more than 10% of our 2021 revenue, which provided 46% of our revenues during that year.

Intellectual Property

Our ability to drive innovation in our business depends in part upon our ability to protect our core technology and intellectual property. We attempt to protect our intellectual property rights, both in the United States and abroad, through a combination of patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws, as well as nondisclosure and invention assignment agreements with our consultants and employees and through non-disclosure agreements with our vendors and business partners. Unpatented research, development, know-how and engineering skills make an important contribution to our business, but we pursue patent protection when we believe it is possible and consistent with our overall strategy for safeguarding intellectual property.

As of June 30, 2022, we own three issued United States patents. Tempo’s patents and patent applications are directed to, among other things, the digitization of the electronics manufacturing process and its associated supply chain. In addition, we have four issued United States trademarks and three issued international trademarks.

258

Employees

As of June 30, 2022, we had 138 employees located in the United States. None of our employees are represented by a labor union. We have not experienced any work stoppages and believe we maintain good relations with our employees.

Facilities

As of June 30, 2022, we lease our principal executive office in San Francisco, California. This leased facility consists of approximately 50,000 square feet under a lease that expires in 2023. This facility accommodates our product development and engineering teams, as well as our operations, sales, marketing, finance, administrative, and manufacturing functions.

Government Regulation

Our business activities are subject to various laws, rules, and regulations of the United States. Compliance with these laws, rules, and regulations has not had a material effect upon our capital expenditures, results of operations, or competitive position, and we do not currently anticipate material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities. Nevertheless, compliance with existing or future governmental regulations, including, but not limited to, those pertaining to international operations, export controls, business acquisitions, consumer and data protection, employee health and safety, and taxes, could have a material impact on our business in subsequent periods. Please see “Risk Factors” for a discussion of these potential impacts.

Legal Proceedings

We are and, from time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not presently a party to any other legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition, or cash flows.

Company Overview

Tempo is a leading software-accelerated electronics manufacturer that aims to transform the product development process for the world’s innovators. We believe that our proprietary software platform, with artificial intelligence (“AI”) that learns from every order, redefines the customer journey and accelerates time- to-market. Our profit, growth, and strong margins are unlocked by a differentiated customer experience and software-enabled efficiencies. We anticipate that our growth and data accrual will be accelerated via tech- enabled M&A in our highly fragmented industry.

Headquartered in San Francisco, California and founded in 2013, Tempo works with companies across industries, including space, semiconductor, aviation and defense, medical device, as well as industrials and e-commerce. Our customers include hardware engineers, engineering program managers, and procurement and supply chain personnel from businesses of a variety of sizes, ranging from Fortune 500 companies to start-ups. The electronics within their products are most often manufactured as Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (“PCBAs”). The PCBA manufacturing process typically takes two inputs: 1) semiconductor components, and 2) a Printed Circuit Board (“PCB”), which consists of pads that receive the components and traces that connect them. The assembly process typically consists of attaching the semiconductor components to the PCB using a paste (solder paste), then curing the paste in an oven such that a strong electrical and mechanical bond is formed. Given the varied requirements of different contexts, customers typically will design different, custom PCBAs for each of their products.

During the initial phases of product development, up until a product is deemed production worthy (or, in the case where production quantities are less than 1,000, through production), customers demand quick turnaround times and the highest quality from their vendors to ensure they are not slowed down in their ramp to release new products. Based on IPC’s 2012-2013, 2018, and 2019 Annual Reports and Forecasts for the North American EMS Industry, the estimated size of this electronics prototyping and on-demand production market in the United States is approximately $290.0 billion. Yet, most of these electronics have historically been produced by small manufacturers who have been largely ignored by software and AI and therefore struggle to consistently satisfy customer demands manually. Tempo has developed a technology-enabled manufacturing platform to streamline this electronic product realization process, thereby helping our customers bring new products to market faster. We believe that our platform offers customer benefits that are highly desired by the market and not available from alternative solutions through our:

● Front-end customer portal, which provides frictionless quoting, ordering, and complex data ingestion via a secure cloud-based interface. Our front-end customer portal offers analysis, interpretation, and visual rendering of engineering, design, and supply chain data with minimal human involvement, which ultimately allows hardware engineers to reach a manufacturable design quickly and efficiently.

● Back-end manufacturing software, which is a continuous, bi-directional digital thread that connects our customers to our smart factories, weaving together manufacturing processes and design data. In it, our data-experienced AI flags and prevents potential production issues. It is extendable and manageable across multiple sites and locations.

● Connected network of smart factories, which deliver turnkey printed circuit board fabrication and assembly. Data from every build fuels the Tempo AI, increasing efficiencies and streamlining processes.

260

Tempo’s software platform helps companies iterate faster. In the status quo, each of quoting, manufacturability review, procurement, setup, and manufacturing are manual processes. We estimate that, on average, these production process steps collectively take approximately 20 days when executed manually. By contrast, with Tempo’s automated approach, these processes could be completed in approximately five days.

Growth Strategy and Outlook

Tempo’s growth strategy has two elements:

● Enhance our automated, intelligent process to benefit the customer experience. As we take more orders, we accumulate more data. More data helps us deliver a better customer experience, which, in turn, drives more orders — a virtuous cycle. Further, additional orders yield additional gross profit, which we can use to accelerate our R&D investment in our software platform.

● Make disciplined inorganic investments. The $290.0 billion fragmented landscape is a target- rich environment for tech-enabled M&A, with an estimated 34 M&A transactions completed in the North American electronics manufacturing services (which we refer to as PCBA) and PCB sectors in 2021 according to GP Ventures, Ltd as of January 2022. To execute this strategy, we plan to leverage our leadership team’s decades of acquisition and integration experience. We expect that our software platform will confer top-line and bottom-line benefits to the targets we acquire. In addition, we expect that future acquisitions will provide further fuel, in the form of data, for enhancing our platform.

The Business Combination

Tempo entered into the Merger Agreement with ACE and Merger Sub on August 12, 2022. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and assuming a favorable vote of ACE’s stockholders, Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of ACE, will be merged with and into Tempo. Upon consummation of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and we shall continue as the surviving corporation of the Merger. Tempo will be the wholly owned subsidiary of ACE, and ACE will change its name to “Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc.” Tempo will be deemed the accounting predecessor and the combined entity will be the successor SEC registrant, meaning that Tempo’s financial statements for previous periods will be disclosed in the registrant’s future periodic reports filed with the SEC.

On July 1, 2022, ACE and Tempo entered into the First Amendment to the ACE Merger Agreement (the “Amendment”). As a result of the Amendment, all outstanding shares of Tempo common stock (after giving effect to the Company’s preferred conversion) as of immediately prior to the closing, and, together with shares of Tempo common stock reserved in respect of the Company’s options as of immediately prior to the closing will be converted into awards based on New Tempo common stock. These conversions are subject to terms and conditions mentioned in the Amendment.

On September 7, 2022, ACE and Tempo entered into the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Amended and Restated Agreement Amendment”). As a result of the Amended and Restated Agreement Amendment, the Base Purchase Price was changed from $235,000,000 to $257,927,013.

The Merger is anticipated to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, ACE will be treated as the acquired company for financial statement reporting purposes. The most significant change in the successor’s future reported financial position and results are expected to be an estimated increase in cash (as compared to Tempo’s balance sheet at June 20, 2022). Approximately $342.8 million estimated post-transaction equity value based on current assumptions with up to $45.6 million in gross cash proceeds to Tempo consisting of $40.1 million from cash in trust by ACE, assuming no additional redemptions by shareholders of ACE and $5.5 million from other financing sources. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

As a consequence of the Merger, Tempo will become the successor to an SEC-registered and Nasdaq-listed company which will require Tempo to hire additional personnel and implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. Tempo expects to incur additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees, and additional internal and external accounting and legal and administrative resources, including increased audit and legal fees.

Key Financial Definitions/Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

Tempo generates revenue by manufacturing electronics in the form of Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (“PCBAs”). It produces prototype and on-demand production PCBAs for engineers with urgent, high complexity projects. Our contracts consist of a single performance obligation of completed PCBA and hence, the contract price per the purchase order is deemed to be reflective of the standalone selling price. Revenue is recognized over time using the cost input method. Over time recognition was applied as products represent assets with no alternative use and the contracts include an enforceable right to payment for work completed to date.

Our customer base consists primarily of leading innovators in space, semiconductor, aviation & defense, medical device, and industrial & e-commerce industries. We enter into a purchase order with each customer and ensure that the purchase orders are executed by all parties. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 60 days of the date when the performance obligation is satisfied and include no general rights of return.

Operating Expenses

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue primarily includes direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead incurred for revenue-producing units shipped. Cost of revenue also includes associated warranty costs, shipping and handling, and other miscellaneous costs.

262

Research and development expense

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of personnel and related costs for product development activities. Research and development costs also include professional fees payable to third-parties, license and subscription fees for development tools, and manufacturing-related costs associated with product development. With the additional resources that come from the business combination, we expect to increase our investment in research and development.

Sales and marketing expense

Sales and marketing expenses consist of personnel and related expenses for our employees working in sales and marketing and business development departments including salaries, bonuses, payroll taxes, and stock-based compensation. Also included are non-personnel costs such as marketing activities, professional and other consulting fees. With the additional resources that come from the business combination, we expect to increase our investment in sales and marketing.

General and administrative expense

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and related expenses for our employees, in our finance and administrative teams including salaries, bonuses, payroll taxes, and stock-based compensation. It also consists of legal, consulting, and professional fees, rent expenses pertaining to our offices, business insurance costs and other costs. We also expect that after the merger, we will incur additional audit, tax, accounting, legal and other costs related to compliance with applicable securities and other regulations, as well as additional insurance, investor relations, and other costs associated with being a public company.

Impacts Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 to be a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. In response, government authorities have issued an evolving set of mandates, including requirements to shelter-in-place, curtail business operations, restrict travel, and avoid physical interaction. These mandates and the continued spread of COVID-19 have disrupted normal business activities in many segments of the global economy, resulting in weakened economic conditions. More recently, government mandates have been lifted by certain public authorities and economic conditions have improved in certain sectors of the economy relative to early in the second quarter of 2020. Certain regions of the world have experienced increasing numbers of COVID-19 cases, however, and if this continues and if public authorities intensify efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19, normal business activity may be further disrupted and economic conditions could weaken.

Our ability to continue to operate without any significant negative impacts will in part depend on our ability to protect our employees and our supply chain. We have endeavored to follow actions recommended by governments and health authorities to protect our employees. We have been able to broadly maintain our operations, and we intend to continue to work with our stakeholders (including customers, employees, suppliers, and local communities) to responsibly address this global pandemic. The Company’s operations expose it to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has had and may continue to have an adverse impact on Tempo’s employees, operations, supply chain and distribution system. However, uncertainty resulting from the global pandemic could result in unforeseen disruptions that could impact our operations going forward.

If the Company’s suppliers experience additional closures or reductions in their capacity utilization levels in the future, the Company may have difficulty sourcing materials necessary to fulfill production requirement. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Tempo has experienced some supply chain constraints, including with respect to semiconductor components, and has responded by ordering larger quantities of these components to ensure an adequate supply. COVID-19 has also impacted the Company’s customers and may create unpredictable reductions or increases in demand for Tempo’s manufacturing services. We have also not observed any material impairments of our assets or a significant change in the fair value of assets due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

For additional information on risk factors that could impact our results, please refer to “Risk Factors” located elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires Tempo’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The more critical accounting estimates include estimates related to revenue recognition and stock-based compensation. Tempo also has other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates,

263

judgments and assumptions that are significant to understanding its results, which are described in Note 2 to Tempo’s annual financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), we recognize revenue over the contract period as services are being performed and as the related asset is being created. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for these services using the five-step method required by ASC 606:

1)Identify the contract with a customer:

A contract with a customer exists when (i) we enter into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the products and services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these products and services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance, and (iii) we determine that collection of substantially all consideration for products and services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. We enter into a purchase order with each customer and ensure the purchase order is executed by all parties. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 60 days of the date when the performance obligation is satisfied and include no general rights of return.

2)Identify the performance obligations in the contract:

Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the products and services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the products and services either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from us, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the products and services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Our contracts consist of a single performance obligation of completed PCBAs.

As part of the term and conditions of the customer contract, we generally offer a warranty for a period of one year. This type of warranty provides the customers with assurance that the related assembled product will function as intended and complies with any agreed upon specifications. Therefore, as the warranty cannot be purchased separately and only provides assurance that the product complies with agreed-upon specifications, the warranty is not considered a separate performance obligation.

3)Determine the transaction price:

The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which we will be entitled in exchange for transferring products and services to the customer. The transaction price consists of fixed consideration as noted in each purchase order. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, we have determined that contracts do not include a significant financing component. We elected a practical expedient available under ASC 606 which permits us to not adjust the amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if, at contract inception, the expected period between the transfer of promised goods or services and customer payment is one year or less.

4)Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract:

If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Each purchase order contains only one performance obligation and hence, the contract price per the purchase order is deemed to be reflective of the standalone selling price and the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. All manufactured products are highly customized, and therefore, priced independently.

5)Recognize revenue when or as the company satisfies a performance obligation:

For each performance obligation identified, we determine at contract inception whether the performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time. The transfer of control for our products qualify for over time revenue recognition because the products represent assets with no alternative use and the contracts include an enforceable right to payment for work completed to date. We have selected a cost incurred input method of measuring progress to recognize revenue over time, based on the status of work performed. The cost input method is representative of the value provided to the customer as it represents our performance completed to date. We

264

typically satisfy our performance obligations in one month or less. We have elected to treat shipping and handling activities as fulfillment costs and also elected to record revenue net of sales and other similar taxes.

Stock-Based Compensation

Accounting for stock-based compensation requires us to make a number of judgments, estimates and assumptions. If any of our estimates prove to be inaccurate, our net loss and operating results could be adversely affected.

We estimate the fair value of stock options granted to employees and directors using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the input of subjective assumptions, including (1) the expected stock price volatility, (2) the expected term of the award, (3) the risk-free interest rate and (4) expected dividends and (5) the fair value of our common stock. These assumptions are estimated as follows:

● Volatility. Since the Company does not have a trading history of its common stock, the expected volatility was derived from the average historical stock volatilities of several public companies within the Company’s industry that its considers to be comparable to its business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants.

● Expected term. The expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding and primarily calculated as the average of the option vesting and contractual terms, based on the simplified method. The simplified method deems the term to be the average of the time-to-vesting and the contractual life of the options.

● Risk-free rate. The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with remaining term equivalent to expected term.

● Expected dividend yield. The Company has not issued any dividends in its history and does not expect to issue dividends over the life of the options and, therefore, has estimated the dividend yield to be zero.

● Fair value of common stock. The fair value of the shares of common stock underlying the stock-based awards has historically been determined by the board of directors, with input from management.

Because there has been no public market for the Company’s common stock, the board of directors has determined the fair value of the common stock on the grant date of the stock-based award by considering a number of objective and subjective factors, including 409A valuations of the Company’s common stock, valuations of comparable companies, sales of the Company’s common stock to unrelated third parties, operating and financial performance, the lack of liquidity of the Company’s capital stock, and general and industry-specific economic outlook. The fair value of the underlying common stock will be determined by the board of directors until such time as the Company’s common stock is listed on an established stock exchange or national market system. To evaluate the fair value of the underlying shares for grants between two independent valuations and after the last independent valuation, a linear interpolation framework is used to evaluate the fair value of the underlying shares.

Historically, we have determined the fair value of our common stock underlying option grants, by considering a variety of factors including, among other things, timely valuations of our common stock prepared by an independent third-party valuation firm in accordance with the guidance provided by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Accounting and Valuation Guide, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation. Given the absence of a public trading market for our common stock, our board of directors exercised reasonable judgment and considered a number of objective and subjective factors to determine the best estimate of the fair value, including important developments in our operations, stage of development, valuations performed by an independent third-party valuation firm, sales of our preferred stock, actual operating results and financial performance, the conditions in similar industry sectors and the economy in general, the stock price performance and volatility of comparable public companies, the lack of liquidity of our equity, and the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering, merger or sale of the company.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the fiscal years 2021 and 2020, the Company performed valuations of its common stock at the end of each quarter. As of March 31, 2020, the 409A valuation yielded a common share value of $0.94 per share. The valuation was derived under an income method which values the Company based on the present value of its future earning capacity. At the time of the 2020 valuation, the Company had been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic which adversely impacted projected revenue growth. In the Company’s March 2021 409A valuation, the Company projected a 55% growth in revenue over the next twelve months when compared to the same period in the prior year. The revenue recovery from the impact of the COVID-19

265

pandemic, contributed significantly to a 60.6% increase in fair value to $1.52 per common share, up from the prior 409A valuation prepared in March 2020. Other assumptions used in the March 2021 409A valuation included a time to exit of three (3) years, which decreased from the March 2020 409A valuation that used four and a half (4.5) years. The decrease in the time to exit between the dates resulted in a downward adjustment of the discount for lack of marketability (“DLOM”) from 40% to 30%.

In March 2021, the Company expressed interest in pursuing a business combination/merger with a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”), however as of March 31, 2021 had not engaged with advisors or initiated discussions with SPACs. On May 25, 2021, the Company presented on Tempo’s business, operations, and finances to professional consultants for guidance on seeking a SPAC merger. On July 8, 2021 the Company executed a mutual NDA with ACE and provided a template of a letter of intent (“LOI”). Tempo further discussed the possibility of a merger with ACE through the month of July until the LOI was executed on July 17, 2021. The LOI contemplated the merger with ACE together with the Tempo Add-On Acquisitions.

With the signing of the LOI on July 17, 2021, the Company performed an off cycle 409A valuation, which yielded a common stock fair value of $2.82 per share. For such valuation the Company utilized a combination approach relying on (1) a continued operations scenario and (2) a transaction scenario, which we describe as the hybrid method (the “Hybrid Method”). The Hybrid Method is also appropriate when various possible future outcomes are assumed by our management. The Hybrid Method considers a company’s going concern nature, stage of development and the company’s ability to forecast near and long-term future liquidity scenarios. The Hybrid Method was deemed the most appropriate due to the attainment of a non-binding letter of intent with ACE. The outcomes of each scenario are assigned a probability and a future estimated equity value. The Company also considered a secondary transaction which occurred immediately prior to the valuation date in June 2021. The size of the secondary transaction relative to the Company’s total equity valuation resulted in an insignificant comparison. However, given the proximity of the transaction to the valuation date, a five percent weighting was applied. The transaction was determined to be an orderly arm’s length transaction and accordingly was included in the July 17, 2021 409A valuation. The shares sold for $3.66 per common share in the secondary transaction.

A description of the two scenarios used in the Hybrid Method as of July 17, 2021 is as follows:

Continuing Operations Scenario:

Under the continued operations scenario (the “Continuing Operations Scenario”), we utilized an income method to estimate the enterprise value of the company and the option pricing model (“OPM”) to allocate the resulting enterprise value to the various classes of our securities, resulting in a per share value of $2.24 per common share, prior to a discount for the lack of marketability being applied. The OPM assumptions included a time to liquidity event of 3 years and a volatility of 70%. A discount for lack of marketability (“DLOM”) of 30% was applied based on various put option models assuming a term of 3 years and a common stock volatility of 70% resulting in a per common share value of $1.57 at July 17, 2021 under the Continuing Operations Scenario. The expected term of 3 years included in the Continuing Operations Scenario OPM and DLOM models remained unchanged from the March 2021 409A valuation, as this continued to be management’s best estimate.

Transaction Scenario:

Under the transaction scenario (the “Transaction Scenario”), the Company assumed an exit event via a SPAC merger on December 31, 2021. The future value is determined as of the exit event date and discounted to the valuation date to determine the present value. The future value is determined by a terminal value based on the next twelve months of projected revenue multiplied by a market multiple. The market multiple is based on a comparison of peer public companies in a similar industry. The Transaction Scenario resulted in a per share value of $3.81 of consideration to be paid to existing Tempo shareholders in the SPAC merger, with such per share value being prepared on a marketable basis. A DLOM of 10% was applied based on various put option models assuming a term of 0.5 years and overall company volatility of 70%, resulting in a per common share value of $3.43 at July 17, 2021 under the Transaction Scenario. The DLOM under the Transaction Scenario is most heavily influenced by the shorter term used of 0.5 years, as compared to 3 years in the Continuing Operations Scenario, resulting in a decreased DLOM.

The application of the Hybrid Method resulted in a per common share value of $2.78 at July 17, 2021. Such value is derived based on a weighted value assigned to the Continuing Operations Scenario ($0.55) at 35% and Transaction Scenario at 65% ($2.23). The weightings reflect the uncertainty regarding the completion of the transaction. Further, the weightings reflect the non-binding nature of the LOI and a merger agreement had not been drafted at the time of valuation. Upon determining the value from the Hybrid Method, a 5% weighting of the June 2021 secondary transaction ($3.66) was applied which resulted in a total value allocation of 95%

266

to the Hybrid Method. The combined value from the Hybrid Method and secondary transaction resulted in a total value of $2.82 per common share as of July 17, 2021.

During July through October 2021, there were initial SPAC meetings with all interested parties which included ACE, Advanced Circuits, Whizz, investment bankers and legal counsel. The meetings included a discussion of, among other things, financial due diligence on Tempo, the acquisition of Advanced Circuits and Whizz, the commitments of PIPE investors, the expansion of a credit facility with SQN and the inclusion of an earnout arrangement with Tempo shareholders. ACE’s board of directors approved the Merger Agreement on October 13, 2021, followed by a joint press release issued by ACE and Tempo on October 14, 2021, announcing the execution of the Merger Agreement.

With the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company prepared a 409A valuation as of October 15, 2021, resulting in a per common share value of $6.08. The Company value was derived by the continued application of the Hybrid Method. The Hybrid Method utilized similar scenarios as of the prior valuation, however the inputs to those scenarios were updated with relevant figures as of October 15, 2021. The increase in value is primarily attributed to the Transaction Scenario which resulted in a value of $8.04 per common share after the application of a DLOM. The value was determined by an implied price of $10.00 for New Tempo stock, upon which existing Tempo shareholders would receive the merger consideration at an exchange ratio of approximately 0.806. A DLOM of 3.7% was applied which reflects an exit event in four (4) months and a volatility at 28.2%. The decrease in DLOM is attributable to the decrease in the time to an exit event and volatility. The weighting of the Transaction Scenario increased to 70% which reflects the executed Merger Agreement. The Continuing Operations scenario relied on an Income Approach using similar inputs to prior valuations. The Continuing Operations scenario resulted in a value of $1.49 per common share after the application of a DLOM of 23%. The secondary transaction was not included in the weighting of the October 2021 409A valuation due to the time that had passed since the June 2021 sale and the small size of such sale.

The Company prepared an updated 409A valuation as of December 31, 2021, resulting in a per common share value of $7.71. The Company continued to implement the Hybrid Method with inputs updated as of December 31, 2021. The increase in value was primarily related to the Transaction Scenario which resulted in a value of $8.35 per common share after the application of a DLOM. The value was determined by an implied stock price of $10.00 for New Tempo stock, upon which existing Tempo shareholders would receive the merger consideration at an exchange ratio of approximately 0.822. A DLOM of 3.3% was applied which reflects an exit event in less than four (4) months and a volatility at 27.2%. The weighting of the Transaction Scenario increased to 90% which reflects the filing of the S-4 with the SEC on November 12, 2021 and management’s continued efforts toward executing on a successful close to the merger. The Continuing Operations scenario continued to rely on an Income Approach which used similar inputs to the prior valuation. The Continuing Operations scenario resulted in a value of $1.97 per common share after the application of a DLOM of 20.3%. The increase in value is primarily attributed to an increase in forecasted revenue as compared to the previous valuation. The DLOM also decreased due to a decrease in volatility and a decrease in the time to an exit event as compared to the previous 409A valuation. The weighting applied to the Continuing Operations Scenario decreased to 10%, commensurate with the increase in the Transaction Scenario weighting.

The Company prepared an updated 409A valuation as of March 31, 2022, resulting in a per common share value of $8.24. The Company continued to implement the Hybrid Method with inputs updated as of March 31, 2022. The increase in value was primarily related to the Transaction Scenario which resulted in a value of $8.96 per common share after the application of a DLOM. The value was determined by an implied stock price of $10.00 for New Tempo stock, upon which existing Tempo shareholders would receive the merger consideration at an exchange ratio of approximately 0.822. A DLOM of 2.0% was applied which reflects an exit event in less than two (2) months and a volatility at 28.2%. The weighting of the Transaction Scenario remained at 90% which reflects the filing of the S-4 with the SEC on March 17, 2022 and management’s continued efforts toward executing on a successful close to the merger. The Continuing Operations scenario continued to rely on an Income Approach which used similar inputs to the prior valuation. The Continuing Operations scenario resulted in a value of $1.80 per common share after the application of a DLOM of 21.3%.

The Company prepared an updated 409A valuation as of June 30, 2022, resulting in a per common share value of $4.64. The Company continued to implement the Hybrid Method with inputs updated as of June 30, 2022. The decrease in value was primarily related to the Transaction Scenario which resulted in a value of $5.03 per common share after the application of a DLOM. The value was determined by an implied stock price of $10.00 for New Tempo stock, upon which existing Tempo shareholders would receive the merger consideration at an exchange ratio of approximately 0.503. A DLOM of 3.4% was applied which reflects an exit event in less than three (3) months and a volatility at 31.9%. The weighting of the Transaction Scenario remained at 90% which reflects the filing of the S-4 with the SEC on March 17, 2022 and management’s continued efforts toward executing on a successful close to the merger. The Continuing Operations scenario continued to rely on an Income Approach which used similar inputs to the prior

267

valuation. The Continuing Operations scenario resulted in a value of $1.15 per common share after the application of a DLOM of 23.6%. The decrease in value is primarily attributed to a decrease in the exit value and increase in DLOM. The exit value decreased after giving consideration to relative growth and risk. The DLOM increased due to an increase in volatility as compared to the previous 409A valuation. The weighting applied to the Continuing Operations Scenario remained at 10%.

Impact on Measurement of Share-based Payment Awards:

Tempo granted approximately 3,594 options and 7.0 million options during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively. Tempo has included the following chart which reflects the date of the option grant and the number of options granted, and the fair value of the underlying common stock used to value such awards for accounting purposes. The value of $10.00 per common share of the combined entity multiplied by the exchange ratio of 0.1750 (exchanging New Tempo shares in exchange for Tempo shares) results in an implied value of $1.75 per share attributable to the existing Tempo shareholders. The Company’s fair value per common share has increased through 2021 as described above, but is expected to decrease in 2022 due to changes to the structure of the merger.

Date of Option Grant	# of Options Granted	Fair Value of Underlying Stock*
1/27/2021	185,000	$	1.41
3/29/2021	3,056,993	$	1.51
3/30/2021	305,583	$	1.51

12/3/2021	237,000	$	7.12
5/16/2022	3,594	$	6.42

* To evaluate the fair value of the common stock for option grants between each independent valuation and after the last independent valuation, a linear interpolation framework was used to evaluate the fair value of the underlying common shares granted. Tempo determined that a linear interpolation was appropriate between each measurement period as there were no material changes in Tempo’s business.

Warrant Liability

Liability classified warrants are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date, and any change in fair value is recognized in the change in fair value of warrants in the statements of operations. We estimate the fair value of these liabilities using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. As further discussed in Stock-Based Compensation above, assumptions used are based on the individual characteristics of the warrants on each valuation date, including contemplating changes in the value of the shares underlying such warrants.

Recent accounting pronouncements

Revenue

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $6.8 million compared to $7.9 million, for the same period in 2021. The year-over-year decrease of $1.2 million, or 15% is primarily due to global semiconductor supply shortage, which resulted in reduced sales volumes.

Cost of revenue and gross profit

Cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $6.0 million compared to $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase of $0.5 million in cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 over the same period in 2021 was driven by an increase in direct material costs on account of the global semiconductor supply shortage during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Our gross profits for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by $1.6 million, or 70%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The gross profit percentage decreased from 30% to 11% primarily due to reduced sales volumes and an increase in direct material costs, both on account of the global semiconductor supply shortage during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

269

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $2.4 million, or 61%, compared to the same period in 2021. The increase in research and development expenses is primarily attributable to a $1.5 million increase in employee compensation and benefits driven by an average rise of 56% in headcount, a $0.2 million increase related to severance payments for a reduction in force in May of 2022, a $0.5 million increase in consulting and professional services, and a $0.2 million increase in stock-based compensation expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $2.0 million, or 53%, compared to the same period in 2021. The increase in sales and marketing expenses is primarily attributable to a $1.5 million increase in employee compensation and benefits driven by an average rise of 60% in headcount, a $0.3 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, and a $0.2 million increase in consulting and professional services.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $0.4 million, or 5%, compared to the same period in 2021. The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to a $0.8 million increase in legal fees, related to merger and acquisition activities and preparation for going public, offset by a $0.5 million decrease in recruiting related expenses.

Interest expense

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $3.7 million, or 437%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to tranche 3 of the Loan and Security Agreement with Structural Capital Investments III, LP, Series Structural DCO II, a series of Structural Capital DCO, LLC, SQN Tempo Automation, LLC, SQN Venture Income Fund II, LP, and Ocean II PLO LLC, 2022 Promissory Notes with existing investors and advanced payment from July 2022 Bridge Note with ACE and ACE Equity Partners International Pte. Ltd. (“AEPI”) as compared to an equipment loan and the June 2021 Credit Facility both with SQN Venture Income Fund II, LP during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Interest income

Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 was not material.

Other expense

Other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 was not material.

Fair value of warrant and derivative liabilities

Fair value of warrant and derivative liabilities changed by $4.2 million, or 2940%, from the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 related to the issuance of warrants in conjunction with entering into the loan and securities agreement with Structural Capital Investments III, LP and the term loans with SQN Capital Management, LLC, in addition to warrants granted to an existing investor. The fair value of warrants decreased by 4.1 million due to the decrease in the fair value of the underlying common stock.

Net loss

As a result of the factors discussed above, our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $20.0 million, an increase of $6.0 million, or 42%, as compared to $14.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Revenue

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $17.4 million compared to $18.7 million for the same period in 2020. The year-over-year decrease of $1.4 million, or 7%, is primarily due to global semiconductor supply shortage, which resulted in reduced sales volumes.

Cost of revenue and gross profit

Cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $14.6 million compared to $14.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The small increase of $0.5 million in cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 over the same period in 2020 was driven by inflation in cost of direct materials and overheads costs.

Our gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2021 decreased by $1.8 million, or 40%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. The gross profit percentage decreased from 24.7% to 16.0% mainly due to a temporary shift in order mix and due to an increase in direct material costs on account of the global semiconductor supply shortage during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased by $3.2 million, or 48%, compared to the same period in 2020. The increase in research and development expenses is primarily attributable to a $2.2 million increase in employee compensation and benefits including stock-based compensation expenses and related payroll taxes driven by an average rise of 29% in headcount, in order to support expanded research and development activities, a $0.5 million increase in software license and subscription expenses, a $0.2 million increase in hosting and web service expenses, a $0.2 million increase in consulting and professional services and $0.4 million increase due to other research and development activities. This was partially offset by $0.3 million of severance payments incurred during the year ended December 31, 2020.

271

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased by $1.9 million, or 24%, compared to the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to a $1.7 million increase in employee compensation and benefits including stock-based compensation expenses and related payroll taxes driven by an average rise of 42% in headcount, and $0.2 million increase in other consulting and professional services.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased by $7.8 million, or 90%, compared to the same period in 2020. The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to a $2.7 million increase in consulting and professional services and $2.6 million increase in legal fees, both related to merger and acquisition activities and preparation for going public, a $1.9 million increase in employee compensation and benefits including stock-based compensation expenses and related payroll taxes driven by an average rise of 43% in headcount, which increased to support the future growth of the business, a $0.2 million increase due to costs related to recruiting, and a $0.4 million increase due to other general and administrative activities.

Interest expense

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased by $3.1 million, or 485%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to additional term loans with Silicon Valley Bank and SQN Capital Management, LLC and loan and security agreement with Structural Capital Investments III, LP which were entered into during the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to one term loan with Silicon Valley Bank during year ended December 31, 2020 which was paid off in June 2021. Additionally, we recognized $1.1 million of amortization of debt issuance costs related to the term loans during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Other Financing Cost

Other financing cost for the year ended December 31, 2021 is related to issuing of common stock warrants to an existing investor pursuant to negotiations with the investor to consider continued future investment. The warrants were measured at fair value on the issuance, and since the issuance of warrants was a non pro-rata transaction with a single existing shareholder, such value of $9.0 million was immediately expensed upon issuance of warrants in October 2021.

Gain on PPP Loan Forgiveness

Gain on PPP loan forgiveness for the year ended December 31, 2021 is related to forgiveness of the PPP loan in August 2021.

Loss on debt extinguishment

Loss on debt extinguishment for the year ended December 31, 2021 is related to the termination of June 2021 Credit Facility and partial repayment of borrowings under such facility which was accounted for as a partial extinguishment of debt. Out of $20.0 million of total debt, $6.0 million was reflected as a debt repayment with the old lender and was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt. Accordingly, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of $0.3 million related to the write off of unamortized debt discount.

Interest income

Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 was not material.

Fair value of warrants

Fair value of warrants changed by $4.3 million from the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 related to the issuance of warrants in conjunction with entering into the credit facilities with Silicon Valley Bank and SQN Capital Management, LLC and due to the increase in the fair value of the underlying common stock.

272

Net loss

As a result of the factors discussed above, our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $48.0 million, an increase of $28.9 million, or 151%, as compared to $19.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Liquidity and Going Concern

Tempo’s primary sources of liquidity is cash provided by preferred equity offerings, and borrowings from various debt issuances. Since inception, we have used our resources principally on product development efforts, including the development of Tempo’s software platform, growing our business, and making necessary investments in building Tempo’s factory in San Francisco. As of June 30, 2022, Tempo had an accumulated deficit of $128.3 million, $2.4 million in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash and a negative working capital of $43.1 million. During the six-months ended June 30, 2022, the Company used net cash of $17.0 million in operating activities and incurred a net loss of $20.0 million. Additionally, as of the date these financial statements were available for issuance the Company has $42.7 million of loans payable and finance lease obligations coming due within the next 12 months. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

In order to fund planned operations while meeting obligations as they come due, the Company will need to secure additional debt or equity financing. These plans for additional financings are intended to mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, however as the plans are outside of Management’s control, the Company cannot ensure they will be effectively implemented. Failure to secure additional funding may require the Company to modify, delay, or abandon some of its planned future expansion or development, or to otherwise enact operating cost reductions available to management, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition, and ability to achieve its intended business objectives. As such, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

Debt Financings

Term Loan and Credit Facility with Financial Institution

To finance its operations, Tempo entered into a series of terms loans with a certain lenders.

In June 2020, Tempo entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“LSA”) with Silicon Valley Bank where Tempo drew down $4.0 million (the “Term Loan”) and secured up to $4.0 million in a revolving line of credit (the “Credit Facility”). If Tempo defaults on the loan, the lender shall have a first priority on all asset lien, including intellectual property. There is a collateral carve out for up to $4.0 million for specific-lien equipment financing, which shall be subject to SVB’s approval.

The Credit Facility is limited to the lesser of $4.0 million or the amount available under the borrowing base defined by the agreement, less the outstanding principal balance of any advances. During 2020, Tempo drew down $1.6 million from the credit facility and repaid the amount back in full.

On June 23, 2021, Tempo entered into an amended and restated loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank which expanded the term loan debt obligation from $4.0 million to $10.0 million, with the maturity date extended to September 1, 2022 and a loan commitment fee of $50 thousand. We were required to make monthly interest only payments from January 2021 through December 2021, thereafter certain monthly principal plus interest payments for a period of 8 months beginning from January 2022 and a final payment of the balance principal and interest outstanding under the agreement in September 2022.

On October 14, 2021, the Company paid $10.3 million to settle the Credit Facility under the amended and restated loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank including $0.3 million of interest and final payment.

Equipment Loan and Security Agreement

On January 29, 2021, Tempo entered into an equipment loan and security agreement with SQN Venture Income Fund II, LP. The overall loan facility provides for a maximum borrowing capacity of $6.0 million consisting of two tranches, each with a borrowing capacity up to $3.0 million.

On January 29, 2021, Tempo drew down $3.0 million of the facility. Tempo is required to make monthly payments for a period of 42 months on this tranche. The loan has a maturity date of July 2024. An additional $3.0 million can be drawn by Tempo, provided

273

that certain criteria are met, such as Tempo not having defaulted on the Tranche I Loan and there having not been a material adverse change (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement) as of the date for the borrowing request. The loan facility is used for financing certain equipment purchases.

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

In May 2020, Tempo was granted a loan under the Paycheck Protection Program offered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), section 7(a)(36) of the Small Business Act for $2.5 million. Monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $0.1 million began in December 2020, subject to deferral as Tempo has applied for debt forgiveness, and continue through maturity in May 2022, if required.

Tempo applied for forgiveness of the PPP loan and has been notified that the entire $2.5 million PPP loan has been forgiven in August 2021. Loan forgiveness is reflected in other income and expense section in the statement of operations.

June 2021 Credit Facility

On June 23, 2021, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with SQN Venture Income Fund II, LP (the “June 2021 Credit Facility”). The June 2021 Credit Facility provides for a maximum borrowing capacity of $20.0 million consisting of two tranches, each tranche with a borrowing capacity of $10.0 million.

On June 23, 2021, the Company drew down $10.0 million of the facility. The Company is required to make monthly interest-only payments for a period of 18 months and thereafter, principal and interest outstanding under the agreement in December 2022. On August 13, 2021, the Company drew down the remaining $10.0 million. The second tranche has a maturity date of February 2023. The June 2021 Credit Facility is used for general working capital purposes.

Loan and Security Agreement

On October 13, 2021, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the “LSA”) with Structural Capital Investments III, LP, Series Structural DCO II, a series of Structural Capital DCO, LLC, SQN Tempo Automation, LLC, SQN Venture Income Fund II, LP, and Ocean II PLO LLC. The loan facility replaced the June 2021 Credit Facility, providing for maximum borrowing capacity of $150.0 million consisting of four tranches. Under the LSA, tranche 1 allowed for the rollover of Tempo’s existing borrowings of $20.0 million under the June 2021 Credit Facility. Borrowing capacity for tranche 2 is $20.0 million which shall be available to draw by the Company upon sooner of the de-SPAC with ACE or closing of the acquisition with Whizz. Borrowing capacity for tranche 3 and tranche 4 of the LSA is $40.0 million, and $70.0 million, respectively which shall be available to draw by the Company upon the de-SPAC with ACE, subject to lender approval. The loans have an earliest expiration date of December 23, 2022.

The termination of the June 2021 Credit Facility and subsequent borrowings under tranche 1 of the LSA was accounted for as a partial extinguishment of debt. Specifically, upon entering into the LSA, the Company became indebted to a new lender in the amount of $6.0 million, while $14.0 million of obligations are due to the same lender group party to the June 2021 Credit Facility. The $6.0 million was reflected as a debt repayment with the old lender and was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt. Accordingly, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of $0.3 million related to the write off of unamortized debt discount. The extinguishment of $6.0 million with the old lender and subsequent borrowings of $6.0 million from the new lender did not involve the receipt or constructive receipt of cash and accordingly has been reflected as noncash financing activities in the statement of cash flows during the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company also evaluated the $14.0 million of debt outstanding with continuing lenders and concluded the transaction should be treated as a modification of debt.

On January 11, 2022, the Company entered into the first amendment to the LSA to convert $10.0 million of availability under the tranche 2 loan to the tranche 1 loan. This amendment expanded the tranche 1 from $20.0 million to $30.0 million and reduced the tranche 2 loan from $20.0 million to $10.0 million. For original $20.0 million borrowed under tranche 1, the original maturity date remained at December 23, 2022 and the $10.0 million borrowed under the expanded portion of tranche 1 provides for a maturity date of February 12, 2023. As of June 30, 2022 the Company had $30.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the amended LSA, with $10.0 million of borrowing capacity available under tranche 2 of the LSA which shall be available to draw by the Company upon sooner of the de-SPAC with ACE or closing of the acquisition with Whizz and an additional $110.0 million of borrowing capacity available for borrowing under tranches 3 and 4 of the LSA upon the de-SPAC with ACE, subject to lender approval.

274

Prior to the closing of the Business Combination, ACE and Tempo intend to enter into the Lender PIPE Common Stock Subscription Agreements with certain affiliates of the lenders under the Loan and Security Agreement, pursuant to which ACE will agree to sell, and such affiliates of the lenders under the Loan and Security Agreement will agree to purchase, shares of New Tempo common stock at $10.00 per share, in each case to be issued and sold to such parties in connection with the closing of the Business Combination using the outstanding debt balance under the Loan and Security at such time in exchange for the termination of the Loan and Security Agreement and the cancellation of all outstanding borrowings thereunder. In connection therewith, and to induce the affiliates of the lenders under the Loan and Security Agreement to enter into the Lender PIPE Common Stock Subscription Agreement, Tempo intends to issue the Lender Warrants to such affiliates of the lenders under the Loan and Security Agreement. The Lender Warrants are expected to automatically convert into shares of New Tempo common stock upon the closing of the Business Combination.

Convertible Senior Notes

Off balance sheet arrangements

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Tempo does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement, or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with Tempo is a party, under which it has any obligation arising under a guaranteed contract, derivative instrument, or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity, or market risk support for such assets.

Currently Tempo does not engage in off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

Emerging Growth Company Status

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, New Tempo will be an emerging growth company (“EGC”), as defined in the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act permits companies with EGC status to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards, delaying the adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply to private companies. New Tempo intends to elect to use this extended transition period to enable us to comply with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date New Tempo (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, New Tempo’s financial statements following the consummation of the Business Combination may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting standards as of public company effective dates.

In addition, New Tempo intends to rely on the other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an EGC, New Tempo intends to rely on such exemptions, we are not required to, among other things: (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (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 Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’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 Chief Executive Officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.

New Tempo will remain an EGC under the JOBS Act until the earliest of (i) the last day of our first fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the closing of ACE’s initial public offering, (ii) the last date of our fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, (iii) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the rules of the SEC with at least $700.0 million of outstanding securities held by non-affiliates or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the previous three-years.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Tempo’s operations expose Tempo to a variety of market risks. Tempo monitors and manages these financial exposures as an integral part of its overall risk management program.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market risk includes changes in interest rates that could affect the balance sheet, statement of operations, and the statement of cash flows. We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily on variable rate borrowings under the credit facility. There were $31.6 million in borrowings outstanding under debt facilities with variable interest rates as of June 30, 2022.

278

The impact of a hypothetical change of 10.0% in variable interest rates would not have a material effect on our Financial Statements. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources” and Note 10 — “Borrowing Arrangements” to the audited Financial Statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and Note 7 — “Borrowing Arrangements” to the unaudited Interim Condensed Financial Statements as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 for additional information regarding our outstanding debt obligations.

Concentrations of Credit Risk and Major Customers

Our customer base consists primarily of leading innovators in space, semiconductor, aviation and defense, medical device, as well as industrials and e-commerce. We do not require collateral on our accounts receivables.

As of June 30, 2022, two customers accounted for 41% and 22% of our accounts receivables, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, one customer accounted for 49% of our accounts receivable, net. No other customers accounted for more than 10% of our accounts receivable, net.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, two customers accounted for 32% and 25% of our total revenue, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, one customer accounted for 46% of our total revenue. During the year ended December 31, 2021, one customer accounted for 46% of our total revenue. During the year ended December 31, 2020, one customer accounted for 42% of our total revenue. No other customers accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue.

Further, our accounts receivable are from companies within the various industries listed above and, as such, we are exposed to normal industry credit risks. We continually evaluate our reserves for potential credit losses and establish reserves for such losses.

Mr. Tahernia received an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Virginia Tech. We believe Mr. Tahernia is qualified to serve on the Board due to his strong track record of leading companies, including public companies, and his industry experience.

Behrooz Abdi is expected to serve as a member of the New Tempo board of directors following consummation of the Business Combination. Mr. Abdi has been ACE’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of ACE’s board of directors since July 2020.

He also serves on the board of the Georgia Institute of Technology and the Montana State University Foundation, as well as the boards of several private companies. We believe that Mr. Abdi is qualified to serve on the Board due to his extensive industry and leadership experience, including serving on public company boards.

Ms. Schneider has served as a member of Tempo’s board of directors since March 2021 and served as a consultant for Tempo on sales and marketing strategy from March 2020 through February 2021.

She currently serves on the board of Edge Embossing, a private microstructured plastics manufacturing company, and provides consulting services to various technology companies. She received her B.S. in Business from St. Cloud State University in 1987. We believe that Ms. Schneider is qualified to serve on the Board due to her track record of success in the industry and her experience as an executive.

Matthew Granade is expected to serve as a member of the New Tempo board of directors following consummation of the Business Combination. Mr. Granade has served as a member of Tempo’s board of directors since May 2019.

Corporate Governance

Composition of the Board of Directors

New Tempo’s business and affairs will be organized under the direction of its board of directors. Behrooz Abdi will serve as Chair of the Board. The primary responsibilities of the Board will be to provide oversight, strategic guidance, counseling, and direction to New Tempo’s management. The Board will meet on a regular basis and additionally as required.

In accordance with the terms of the Proposed Bylaws, which will be effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the New Tempo board of directors may establish the authorized number of directors from time to time by resolution. The New Tempo board of directors will consist of up to six members upon the consummation of the Business Combination. In accordance with the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, which will be effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the New Tempo board of directors will be divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to directors whose terms then expire will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following election. New Tempo’s directors will be divided among the three classes as follows:

● the Class I directors will be Jacqueline Schneider and Ryan Benton, and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2022;

● the Class II directors will be Matthew Granade and Omid Tahernia, and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2023; and

● the Class III directors will be Behrooz Abdi and Joy Weiss, and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2024.

Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. The division of our board of directors into three classes with staggered three-year terms may delay or prevent a change of our management or a change in control.

Director Independence

As a result of New Tempo’s common stock being listed on Nasdaq following the consummation of the Business Combination, it will be required to comply with the applicable rules of such exchange in determining whether a director is independent. Prior to the completion of this Business Combination, the parties undertook a review of the independence of the individuals named above and have determined that each of Behrooz Abdi, Jacqueline Schneider, Matthew Granade and Omid Tahernia qualifies as “independent” as defined under the applicable Nasdaq rules.

Role of the Board in Risk Oversight

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, one of the key functions of the New Tempo board of directors will be informed oversight of New Tempo’s risk management process. The New Tempo board of directors does not anticipate having a standing risk management committee, but rather anticipates administering this oversight function directly through the Board as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of the Board that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, the Board will be responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure, and New Tempo’s audit committee will have the responsibility to consider and discuss New Tempo’s major financial risk exposures and the steps its management will take to monitor and control such exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. The audit committee will also monitor compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. New Tempo’s compensation committee will also assess and monitor whether New Tempo’s compensation plans, policies and programs comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the Board will have an audit committee, a compensation committee, and a nominating and corporate governance committee. The composition and responsibilities of each of the committees of our board of

284

directors are described below. Members will serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by the board of directors. The board of directors may establish other committees as it deems necessary or appropriate from time to time.

Audit Committee

New Tempo’s audit committee will consist of Jacqueline Schneider, Matthew Granade and Omid Tahernia, with Matthew Granade serving as chairperson. ACE’s board of directors has determined that Matthew Granade satisfies the independence requirements under Nasdaq listing standards and Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act and is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of SEC regulations. Each member of the New Tempo audit committee will be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements in accordance with applicable requirements. To make these determinations, ACE’s board of directors has examined each audit committee member’s scope of experience and the nature of their employment.

The primary purpose of the audit committee will be to discharge the responsibilities of the Board with respect to our corporate accounting and financial reporting processes, systems of internal control and financial statement audits, and to oversee New Tempo’s independent registered public accounting firm. Specific responsibilities of our audit committee include:

● helping the New Tempo board of directors oversee corporate accounting and financial reporting processes;

● managing the selection, engagement, qualifications, independence and performance of a qualified firm to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit New Tempo’s consolidated financial statements;

● discussing the scope and results of the audit with the independent registered public accounting firm and reviewing, with management and the independent accountants, New Tempo’s interim and year-end operating results;

● developing procedures for employees to submit concerns anonymously about questionable accounting or audit matters;

● reviewing related person transactions;

● obtaining and reviewing a report by the independent registered public accounting firm at least annually that describes New Tempo’s internal quality control procedures, any material issues with such procedures and any steps taken to deal with such issues when required by applicable law; and

● approving or, as permitted, pre-approving, audit and permissible non-audit services to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm.

Compensation Committee

New Tempo’s compensation committee will consist of Jacqueline Schneider, Behrooz Abdi and Omid Tahernia, with Jacqueline Schneider serving as chairperson. ACE’s board of directors has determined that each member of the compensation committee is independent under the Nasdaq listing standards and a “non-employee director” as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

The primary purpose of the compensation committee will be to discharge the responsibilities of New Tempo board of directors in overseeing the compensation policies, plans and programs and to review and determine the compensation to be paid to executive officers, directors, and other senior management, as appropriate. Specific responsibilities of the compensation committee will include:

● reviewing and approving the compensation of the chief executive officer, other executive officers and senior management;

● reviewing and recommending to the New Tempo board of directors the compensation of directors;

● administering the incentive award plans and other benefit programs;

● reviewing, adopting, amending, and terminating incentive compensation and equity plans, severance agreements, profit sharing plans, bonus plans, change-of-control protections and any other compensatory arrangements for the executive officers and other senior management; and

285

● reviewing and establishing general policies relating to compensation and benefits of the employees, including the overall compensation philosophy.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

New Tempo’s nominating and corporate governance committee will consist of Matthew Granade and Jacqueline Schneider, with Matthew Granade serving as chairperson. ACE’s board of directors has determined that each member of the nominating and corporate governance committee is independent under the Nasdaq listing standards.

Specific responsibilities of the nominating and corporate governance committee will include:

● identifying and evaluating candidates, including the nomination of incumbent directors for re-election and nominees recommended by stockholders, to serve on the New Tempo board of directors;

● considering and making recommendations to the New Tempo board of directors regarding the composition and chairmanship of the committees of the New Tempo board of directors;

● developing and making recommendations to the New Tempo board of directors regarding corporate governance guidelines and matters, including in relation to corporate social responsibility; and

● overseeing periodic evaluations of the performance of the New Tempo board of directors, including its individual directors and committees.

Code of Ethics

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, New Tempo will have a code of ethics that applies to all of its executive officers, directors and employees, including its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions. The code of ethics will be available on New Tempo’s website, http://www.tempoautomation.com/investor-relations. In addition, New Tempo intends to post on its website all disclosures that are required by law or the listing standards of Nasdaq concerning any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the code. The reference to the New Tempo website address does not constitute incorporation by reference of the information contained at or available through New Tempo’s website, and you should not consider it to be a part of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Ryan Benton currently serves as the Chief Financial Officer of Tempo and as a member of the ACE board of directors and the compensation committee thereof. Mr. Benton is also expected to serve as the Chief Financial Officer of New Tempo following the consummation of the Business Combination. Behrooz Abdi currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the board of directors of ACE, and is expected to serve as a member of the Board following consummation of the Business Combination. None of the current members of Tempo’s compensation committee has ever been an executive officer or employee of Tempo or ACE, and, other than Mr. Benton, no current or former officer or employee of either Tempo or ACE has been a member of the board of directors of either Tempo or ACE and participated in deliberations concerning executive officer compensation. Other than Mr. Benton and Mr. Abdi, none of New Tempo’s executive officers currently serve, or have served during the last completed fiscal year, on the compensation committee or board of directors of any other entity that has one or more executive officers that will serve as a member of the Board or compensation committee.

Non-Employee Director Compensation

Tempo has regularly issued members of its board of directors options to purchase stock of Tempo pursuant to its existing incentive award plan. In 2021, Mr. Granade, the chairman of the board of directors of Tempo, was granted an option to purchase a total of 178,257, which vest immediately upon the closing of a SPAC Merger, such as the Business Combination, on or before December 31, 2022. Mr. Granade was also granted an option to purchase a total of 127,326 shares, which vest and become exercisable with respect to 1/24th of the shares subject thereto in equal monthly installments on each monthly anniversary of the applicable vesting start date. In 2021, Ms. Schneider was granted an option to purchase a total of 127,326 shares, which vest and become exercisable with respect to 1/24th of the shares of the shares subject thereto in equal monthly installments on each monthly anniversary of the applicable vesting start date.

286

The New Tempo board of directors expects to review director compensation periodically to ensure that director compensation remains competitive such that New Tempo is able to recruit and retain qualified directors. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, New Tempo will adopt a director compensation program that is designed to align compensation with its business objectives and the creation of stockholder value, while enabling New Tempo to attract, retain, incentivize, and reward directors who contribute to the long-term success of New Tempo.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

New Tempo’s Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, which will be effective upon consummation of the Business Combination, will limit a director’s or officer’s liability to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL. The DGCL provides that directors or officers of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability:

● for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit;

● for any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

● for any unlawful payment of dividends or redemption of shares; or

● for any breach of a director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders.

If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors or officers, then the liability of the directors or officers will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.

Delaware law and the Proposed Bylaws provide that New Tempo will, in certain situations, indemnify its directors and officers and may indemnify other employees and other agents, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Any indemnified person is also entitled, subject to certain limitations, to advancement, direct payment, or reimbursement of reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding.

In addition, New Tempo will enter into separate indemnification agreements with its directors and officers. These agreements, among other things, require New Tempo to indemnify its directors and officers for certain expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and settlement amounts incurred by a director or officer in any action or proceeding arising out of their services as one of its directors or officers or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at its request.

New Tempo plans to maintain a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy pursuant to which its directors and officers are insured against liability for actions taken in their capacities as directors and officers. We believe these provisions in New Tempo’s Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaws and these indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, or control persons, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

287

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

ACE’s Executive Officer and Director Compensation

None of ACE’s directors or executive officers have received any cash compensation for services rendered to ACE. Between July 2020 and June 2021, ACE accrued an obligation to the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. The Sponsor, directors and executive officers, or any of their respective affiliates are reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on ACE’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. ACE’s audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by ACE to the Sponsor, directors, executive officers or ACE or any of their affiliates. In May 2020, the Sponsor transferred 40,000 founder shares to Kenneth Klein, 35,000 founder shares to each of Omid Tahernia, Ryan Benton and Raquel Chmielewski and 10,000 founder shares to Minyoung Park, at their original per-share purchase price. In October 2021, the Sponsor distributed 1,678,500 founder shares to Sunny Siu.

After the completion of ACE’s initial business combination, directors or executive officers of ACE who remain with the combined company may be paid consulting or management fees from the combined company. ACE has not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid by the combined company to ACE’s directors or executive officers. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of the proposed initial business combination, because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining executive officer and director compensation. Any compensation to be paid to ACE’s directors and executive officers will be determined, or recommended to the board of directors of the combined company for determination, either by a compensation committee constituted solely by independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on its board of directors.

ACE does not intend to take any action to ensure that members of its management team maintain their positions with the combined company after the consummation of ACE’s initial business combination, although it is possible that some or all of ACE’s officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to remain with the combined company after ACE’s initial business combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements to retain their positions with the combined company may influence the motivation of ACE’s management in identifying or selecting a target business but ACE does not believe that the ability of its management to remain with the combined company after the consummation of ACE’s initial business combination will be a determining factor in ACE’s decision to proceed with any potential business combination. ACE is not party to any agreements with its directors or executive officers that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.

For more information about the interests of ACE’s directors and executive officers in the Business Combination, see the section titled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of ACE’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination.”

NARRATIVE TO SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE

2021 Salaries

The named executive officers receive a base salary to compensate them for services rendered to our company. The base salary payable to each named executive officer is intended to provide a fixed component of compensation reflecting the executive’s skill set, experience, role and responsibilities. For 2021, our named executive officers’ annual base salaries were as follows: Ms. Weiss: $450,000; Mr. Benton: $375,000; and Mr. Richart: $350,000.

Mr. Richart’s annual base salary was increased from $305,000 to $350,000 upon his appointment as our Chief Technology Officer, effective March 1, 2021.

2021 Bonuses

We maintained an annual performance-based cash bonus program for 2021 in which our named executive officers participated. Bonus payments under the 2021 bonus program were determined based on achievement of certain corporate performance goals approved by our board of directors, subject to the applicable executive’s continued employment through December 31, 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2021, our named executive officers’ target bonuses (expressed as a percentage of base salary) were as follows: Ms. Weiss: 20%; Mr. Benton: 20%; and Mr. Richart: 20%.

Under our 2021 annual bonus program, the applicable performance metrics consisted of achievement of certain company revenue, bookings and gross margin targets. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company determined not to pay bonuses in respect of 2021 (including to our named executive officers).

Equity Compensation

We have historically granted stock options to our employees under our Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2015 Plan”), including our named executive officers, in order to attract and retain our employees, as well as to align their interests with the interests of our stockholders.

On March 29, 2021, we granted to Ms. Weiss under the 2015 Plan: (i) a time-vesting option to purchase 1,016,454 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.94 per share, and (ii) a performance-vesting option to purchase 508,227 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.94 per share. Ms. Weiss’ time-vesting option vests and becomes exercisable as to 1/24th of the shares subject thereto on each monthly anniversary of September 23, 2021, subject to Ms. Weiss’ continued service with us through the applicable vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Ms. Weiss’ employment is terminated by the company without “cause” or due to her resignation for “good reason” (each as defined in her offer letter, as discussed below), in either case, within three

289

months before, or eighteen months after, a “change in control” or “corporate transaction” of the company (each as defined in the 2015 Plan or any successor equity incentive plan), or if Ms. Weiss’s employment terminates due to her death or disability within eighteen months after any such event, then, subject to her execution and non-revocation of a release of claims in favor of the company, resignation from the company’s board of directors, and continued compliance with certain post-termination obligations (including applicable restrictive covenants), Ms. Weiss’ time-vesting option will vest in full (to the extent then-unvested) upon such termination. Ms. Weiss’ performance-vesting option vests and becomes exercisable as to 100% of the shares subject thereto upon the closing of a “qualified transaction” (generally defined to include (x) an initial public offering of the company’s equity securities, (y) the closing of an equity financing round with pre-money proceeds of at least $300.0 million and net proceeds to the company of at least $25.0 million, or (z) the company’s merger or consolidation with a special purpose acquisition company (a “SPAC”) or a subsidiary thereof in which all or substantially all of the company’s securities are converted into cash or shares of such SPAC and the capital stock of the surviving corporation is listed on a national securities exchange) that occurs on or before December 31, 2022, subject to Ms. Weiss’ continued employment as an executive officer of the company through the applicable vesting date.

On July 3, 2021, we granted to Mr. Benton under the 2015 Plan an option to purchase 275,365 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.82 per share. Mr. Benton’s option vests and becomes exercisable as to 1/4th of the shares subject thereto on the first anniversary of July 2, 2021, and as to 1/48th of the shares subject thereto in equal monthly installments thereafter, subject Mr. Benton’s continued service with us through the applicable vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Mr. Benton’s employment is terminated by the company without “cause” or due to her resignation for “good reason” (each as defined in his offer letter, as discussed below), in either case, within three months before, or eighteen months after, a “change in control” or “corporate transaction” of the company (each as defined in the 2015 Plan or any successor equity incentive plan), or if Mr. Benton’s employment terminates due to his death or disability within eighteen months after any such event, then, subject to his execution and non-revocation of a release of claims in favor of the company and continued compliance with certain post-termination obligations (including applicable restrictive covenants), Mr. Benton’s 2021 option will vest in full (to the extent then-unvested) upon such termination.

In addition, on March 29, 2021, we granted to Mr. Richart under the 2015 Plan an option to purchase 254,113 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.94 per share. Mr. Richart’s option vests and becomes exercisable, as follows: (i) 50% of the shares subject to the option vest and become exercisable upon the closing of a “qualified transaction” (generally defined to include (x) an initial public offering of the company’s equity securities, (y) the closing of an equity financing round with pre-money proceeds of at least $300.0 million and net proceeds to the company of at least $25.0 million, or (z) the company’s merger or consolidation with a SPAC or a subsidiary thereof in which all or substantially all of the company’s securities are converted into cash or shares of such SPAC and the capital stock of the surviving corporation is listed on a national securities exchange) that occurs on or before December 31, 2022, subject to Mr. Richart’s continued employment as an executive officer of the company through the applicable vesting date, and (ii) thereafter, the remaining 50% of the shares subject to the option vest and become exercisable in equal monthly installments on each of the first twelve monthly anniversaries of the date of the qualified transaction, subject to Mr. Richart’s continued employment as an executive officer of the company through the applicable vesting date.

The 2021 options granted to our named executive officers will vest in full, to the extent then-unvested, upon a “change in control” or “corporate transaction” of the company (within the meaning of the 2015 Plan or any successor plan), or any other event in which such option would otherwise be terminated, subject to the applicable executive’s continued service with the company through such event.

In connection with the Business Combination, ACE’s board of directors intends to adopt the Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc. 2022 Incentive Award Plan (referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as the 2022 Plan), subject to approval by ACE’s shareholders. If approved by ACE’s shareholders, the 2022 Plan will be effective as of the date it is approved by ACE’s shareholders. For additional information about the 2022 Plan, please see the section entitled “Incentive Award Plan Proposal.”

Other Elements of Compensation

Retirement Plan

We currently maintain a 401(k) retirement savings plan for our employees, including our named executive officers, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the same terms as other full-time employees. The Code allows eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation, within prescribed limits, on a pre-tax basis through contributions to the 401(k) plan. We believe that providing a vehicle for tax-deferred retirement savings through our 401(k) plan adds to the overall desirability of our executive compensation package and further incentivizes our employees, including

290

our named executive officers, in accordance with our compensation policies. We did not make any discretionary matching contributions in 2021.

Employee Benefits

All of our full-time employees, including our named executive officers, are eligible to participate in our health and welfare plans, including:

● medical, dental and vision benefits;

● medical and dependent care flexible spending accounts;

● short-term and long-term disability insurance;

● life insurance; and

● employee assistance program.

Director Compensation

During our fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, only two of our non-employee directors (Matthew Granade and Jaqueline Schneider) received compensation for their services on our board of directors. None of our other non-employee directors received compensation from the company during 2021 in respect of their services on our board. Ms. Weiss (who served as our President and Chief Executive Officer in 2021), Jeff Kowalski (who served as our Chief Product Officer in 2021 after his board service ended), and Jeff McAlvay (who served as Principal Data Analyst during 2021) also served on our board of directors during 2021, but they did not receive any additional compensation for their service as directors during 2021.

We have not historically maintained a formal non-employee director compensation program; however, we have made stock option grants to non-employee directors from time to time. During 2021, the Company granted options to purchase shares of our common stock to each of Mr. Granade and Ms. Schneider for their service as non-employee directors during 2021, as described below.

On March 30, 2021, we granted to Mr. Granade under the 2015 Plan: (i) a time-vesting option to purchase 127,326 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.94 per share, and (ii) a performance-vesting option to purchase 178,257 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.94 per share. Mr. Granade’s time-vesting option vests and becomes exercisable as to 1/24th of the shares subject thereto on each monthly anniversary of March 30, 2021, subject to Mr. Granade’s continued service on the board of directors through the applicable vesting date. Mr. Granade’s performance-vesting option vests and becomes exercisable as to 100% of the shares subject thereto upon the occurrence of a “qualified transaction” (generally defined to include (x) an initial public offering of the company’s equity securities, (y) the closing of an equity financing round with pre-money proceeds of at least $300.0 million and net proceeds to the company of at least $25.0 million or (z) the company’s merger or consolidation with a SPAC or a subsidiary thereof in which all or substantially all of the company’s securities are converted into cash or shares of such SPAC and the capital stock of the surviving corporation is listed on a national securities exchange) that occurs on or before December 31, 2022, subject to Mr. Granade’s continued service as chairman of the board of directors through the applicable vesting date.

In addition, on March 29, 2021, we granted to Ms. Schneider under the 2015 Plan an option to purchase 127,326 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.94 per share. Ms. Schneider’s option vests and becomes exercisable as to 1/24th of the underlying shares subject thereto on each monthly anniversary of March 29, 2021, subject to Ms. Schneider’s continued service on the board of directors through each applicable vesting date.

No other compensation was paid, and no options or other stock awards were granted, to our non-employee directors during 2021 in respect of their service as non-employee directors.

Assumptions used to calculate these amounts are included in our consolidated financial statements included in this prospectus/proxy statement.

(2) As of December 31, 2021, Mr. Granade and Ms. Schneider held options covering 305,583 and 134,826 shares of our common stock, respectively. No other options or stock awards were held by our non-employee directors as of December 31, 2021.

(3) Prior to Ms. Schneider’s appointment to our board of directors on March 29, 2021, on December 1, 2020, in connection with her service as an advisor to our company, we granted to Ms. Schneider under the 2015 Plan an option to purchase 2,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.94 per share. The option vests and becomes exercisable as to 1/3rd of the shares subject thereto on each monthly anniversary of December 1, 2020, subject to Ms. Schneider’s continued service through the applicable

295

vesting date. The amount in this column for Ms. Schneider represents the aggregate grant date fair value of such stock option computed in accordance with ASC Topic 718. Assumptions used to calculate these amounts are included in our consolidated financial statements included in this prospectus/proxy statement.

In connection with the Business Combination, we intend to implement a compensation program for our non-employee directors, the terms and conditions of which are not yet known.

Director Compensation Program

In connection with the Business Combination, we intend to adopt a compensation program for our non-employee directors (the “Director Compensation Program”), which we expect to take effect upon the Closing. Pursuant to the Director Compensation Program, we expect that the non-employee directors of the Board will be eligible to receive cash and equity compensation for their services on our Board. The material terms of the Director Compensation Program are summarized below.

Cash Compensation

Under the Director Compensation Program, our non-employee directors are expected to be entitled to cash compensation in the following amounts:

● Annual cash retainer	$	42,000
● Additional annual retainer for the chairperson of the Board	$	40,000
● Additional annual retainer for the lead independent director	$	15,000
● Annual cash retainer for service as the Chair of a Committee of the Board:
● Audit Committee	$	20,000
● Compensation Committee	$	15,000
● Nominating and Governance Committee	$	10,000
● Annual cash retainer for service as a member (non-Chair) of a Committee of the Board:
● Audit Committee	$	10,000
● Compensation Committee	$	7,500
● Nominating and Governance Committee	$	5,000

Annual cash retainers are expected to be paid quarterly in arrears and pro-rated for any partial calendar quarter of service.

Equity Compensation

Initial Awards. Under the Director Compensation Program, each non-employee director who is initially elected or appointed to serve on the Board on or after the Closing will automatically be granted (A) an award of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with an aggregate grant date value of $200,000 and (B) an option to purchase 30,000 shares of Company common stock (each, an “Initial Award”). Each Initial Award will vest as to 1/3rd of the shares of Company common stock subject thereto on each of the first three anniversaries of the applicable grant date, subject to the applicable director’s continued service on the Board through the applicable vesting date.

Annual Awards. Each non-employee director who has served on the Board as of the date of an annual meeting of stockholders that occurs after Closing and will continue to serve as a non-employee director immediately following such meeting will automatically be granted (A) an award of RSUs with an aggregate grant date value of $10,000 and (B) an option to purchase 15,000 shares of Company common stock (each, an “Annual Award”). Each Annual Award will vest in full on the earlier of the first anniversary of the

296

applicable grant date and the date of our next annual shareholder meeting following the grant date, subject to the applicable director’s continued service on the Board through the applicable vesting date.

In addition, Initial Awards and Annual Awards granted under the Director Compensation Program are expected to vest in full upon a “change in control” of the Company (as defined in the 2022 Plan) if the non-employee will not become a member of the Board or the board of directors of the Company’s successor (or any parent thereof) following such change in control.

The number of shares of our Common Stock subject to any Initial Award or Annual Award denominated in dollars will be determined by dividing the dollar value of such Director Award by the closing price of a share of Company common stock as of the applicable grant date. Any stock options granted under the Director Compensation Program will have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant and will expire not later than ten years after the date of grant.

Compensation under the Director Compensation Program will be subject to the annual limits on non-employee director compensation set forth in the 2022 Plan (or any successor plan).

297

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES OF ACE AND NEW TEMPO

The following table sets forth information regarding (i) the beneficial ownership of ACE ordinary shares as of August 31, 2022, and (ii) the expected beneficial ownership of shares of New Tempo common stock immediately following consummation of the Business Combination (assuming a “no redemption” scenario and assuming a “redemption” scenario as described below) by:

● each person who is known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of ACE ordinary shares and is expected to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of shares of New Tempo common stock post- Business Combination;

● each of ACE’s current executive officers and directors;

● each person who will become an executive officer or director of New Tempo post-Business Combination; and

● all executive officers and directors of ACE as a group pre-Business Combination, and all executive officers and directors of New Tempo as a group post-Business Combination.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she, or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable, exercisable within 60 days, or exercisable as a result of the Business Combination.

The beneficial ownership of ACE ordinary shares pre-Business Combination is based on 9,695,298 ACE ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of August 31, 2022, which includes an aggregate of 5,750,000 ACE Class B ordinary shares outstanding as of such date.

The expected beneficial ownership of shares of New Tempo common stock post-Business Combination assumes two scenarios:

(i) a “no redemption” scenario where (i) no public shareholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination or our extension proposal and (ii) New Tempo issues 16,500,000 shares of New Tempo common stock;

(ii) and a “maximum redemption” scenario where (i) 2,990,612 ACE ordinary shares (ACE’s estimate of a number of public shares that could be redeemed in connection with the Business Combination or our extension proposal, in the aggregate, in order to satisfy the closing conditions contained in the Merger Agreement at approximately $10.16 per share based on trust account figures as of June 30, 2022, including the expected proceeds received from the Promissory Note with the Sponsor, are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination or our extension proposal, in the aggregate, (ii) New Tempo issues 16,500,000 shares of New Tempo common stock. In connection with the shareholder approval of the extension of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination, the Sponsor agreed to loan to ACE $0.03 per month for each public share not redeemed in connection with such extension, up to $1.5 million, which amounts will be deposited into the trust account established in connection with ACE’s initial public offering. As of        , 2022, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor’s obligation is approximately $       per public share. On June 30, 2022, ACE and the Sponsor amended and restated such loan in its entirety to, among other things, increase the aggregate principal amount available there under from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000, contingent upon the approval by ACE’s shareholders of the extension of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination to October 13, 2022. Monthly deposits into the trust account following the July 2022 redemptions are based on the number of public shares still outstanding following such redemptions. On August 28, 2022, ACE and the Sponsor amended and restated the Sponsor Loan in its entirety to, among other things, increase the aggregate principal amount available thereunder from $2,000,000 to $2,125,000, the effectiveness of which is conditioned upon the approval by ACE’s shareholders of the proposal to amend ACE’s Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which ACE must consummate an initial business combination from October 13, 2022, to January 30, 2023. Monthly deposits into ACE’s trust account following such extension will be based on the number of public shares still outstanding following such extension.

Based on the foregoing assumptions, we estimate that there would be 28,400,297 shares of New Tempo common stock issued and outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination in the “no redemption” scenario, and 26,409,686 shares of New Tempo common stock issued and outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination in the “redemption” scenario. If the actual facts are different from the foregoing assumptions, ownership figures in New Tempo and the columns under Post-Business Combination in the table that follows will be different.

The following table does not reflect record of beneficial ownership of any shares of New Tempo common stock issuable upon exercise of public warrants or private placement warrants, as such securities are not exercisable or convertible within 60 days of August 31, 2022.

298

The following table includes New Tempo common stock issued to Tempo Stockholders and the Sponsor and related parties upon conversion of the August 2022 Bridge Notes. Concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination, the principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest on the August 2022 Bridge Notes will convert into shares of New Tempo common stock. Tempo Stockholders and the Sponsor and related parties are expected to receive 3,973,827 and 1,957,803 shares of New Tempo common stock, respectively.

Unless otherwise indicated, ACE believes that all persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the voting securities beneficially owned by them.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

ACE Convergence Acquisition Corp.

Founder Shares

On May 28, 2020, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 ACE Class B ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share (“Founder Shares”). On May 29, 2020, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 155,000 Founder Shares to certain members of the Company’s management team. On October 13, 2021, the Sponsor distributed 1,678,500 Founder Shares to Sunny Siu. In connection with raising funds for working capital of ACE, in January 2022, the Sponsor distributed 755,930 founder shares to ACE SO5 Holdings Limited (“ACE SO5”), an affiliate of the Sponsor, and ACE SO5 became a party to (i) the Letter Agreement, dated as of July 27, 2020, by and among ACE, the Sponsor and certain of ACE’s current and former officers, directors and director nominees, and (ii) the Sponsor Support Agreement. ACE Equity Partners International Pte Ltd. is the sole owner of the voting equity of ACE SO5, and therefore, may be deemed to have sole discretion over the voting and investment power of the company securities held by ACE SO5. However, all of the economic interests in ACE SO5 are held by unaffiliated non-U.S. persons or entities through non-voting interests. Pursuant to ACE SO5’s governing documents, after the expiration of the lock-up period (described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus), such non-voting interests will be granted the rights to vote. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 750,000 shares that were subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised, so that the number of Founder Shares would equal 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the Initial Public Offering. As a result of the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option on July 30, 2020, 750,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

These Founder Shares are identical to the ACE Class A ordinary shares included in the units sold in ACE’s IPO, except that (i) the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, (ii) the holders of the Founder Shares have agreed pursuant to a letter agreement to waive (x) their redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares and public shares held by them in connection with the completion of a business combination, (y) their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and public shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Cayman Constitutional Documents (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination by January 30, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity and (z) their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to the Founder Shares if ACE fails to complete a business combination by January 30, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date) (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any public shares they hold if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame), (iii) the Founder Shares are automatically convertible into ACE Class A ordinary shares at the time of the initial business combination on a one-for-one basis and (iv) the Founder Shares are entitled to registration rights.

In connection with the Business Combination, upon the Domestication, 5,750,000 Founder Shares will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of New Tempo common stock. For additional information, see “Domestication Proposal.”

Private Placement Warrants

Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering of ACE, the Sponsor purchased 6,600,000 warrants to purchase one ACE Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per warrant, or $6,600,000 in the aggregate, in a private placement. On October 13, 2021, the Sponsor distributed 948,750 Private Placement Warrants to Sunny Siu. In January 2022, the Sponsor distributed 891,714 private placement warrants to ACE SO5. Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one ACE Class A ordinary share for $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in the trust account of ACE. The Private Placement Warrants may not be redeemed by ACE so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the private placement warrants will be redeemable by us and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units that were sold as part of the initial public offering of ACE. The Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, has the option to exercise the private placement warrants on a cashless basis.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants included in the units sold in the initial public offering of ACE except that the Private Placement Warrants: (i) are not redeemable by ACE, (ii) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or any of its permitted transferees and (iii) are entitled to registration rights (including the ordinary shares

302

issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants). Additionally, the purchasers have agreed not to transfer, assign, or sell any of the Private Placement Warrants, including the ACE Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants (except to certain permitted transferees), until 30 days after the completion of ACE’s initial business combination.

In connection with the Business Combination, upon the Domestication, each of the 6,600,000 Private Placement Warrants will convert automatically into a warrant to acquire one share of New Tempo common stock pursuant to the Warrant Agreement. For additional information, see “Domestication Proposal.”

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants, and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans, if any (and any ACE Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of the working capital loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed July 27, 2020 requiring ACE to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to ACE Class A ordinary shares). The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that ACE register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of ACE’s initial business combination and rights to require ACE to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. ACE will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

In connection with the Business Combination, the registration rights agreement will be amended and restated. The Merger Agreement contemplates that, at the Closing, New Tempo, the Sponsor, other parties to the Sponsor Support Agreement and certain former stockholders of Tempo (the “Tempo Holders”), will enter into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which New Tempo will agree to register for resale, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, certain shares of New Tempo common stock and other equity securities of New Tempo hat are held by the parties thereto from time to time. For additional information, see “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Registration Rights Agreement.”

PIPE Subscription Agreements

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, ACE entered into (i) the Original PIPE Common Stock Subscription Agreements with certain investors pursuant to which such investors agreed to purchase 8.2 million shares of New Tempo common stock at $10.00 per share for an aggregate commitment amount of $82.0 million, and (ii) the Affiliate Subscription Agreement.

In January 2022, the Affiliate Subscription Agreement was terminated in its entirety in accordance with its terms, and ACE and Tempo entered into a subscription agreement with OCM and Tor Asia, pursuant to which Tor Asia and OCM agreed to purchase $200.0 million of ACE’s 15.5% convertible senior notes. On July 30, 2022, OCM delivered notice of termination of the Oaktree Subscription Agreement, effective immediately. On September 4, 2022, Tempo, ACE, OCM and Oaktree entered into the Oaktree Termination Letter pursuant to which the termination fee in connection with the Oaktree Subscription Agreement was reduced from 3.5% of the aggregate principal amount of the subscribed notes (approximately $7.0 million) to 0.6% of the aggregate principal amount of the subscribed notes (approximately $1.1 million) if the closing of the Business Combination occurs on or before October 15, 2022, to be paid on the earlier of (i) six months after the Closing and (ii) the date on which either ACE or Tempo commence bankruptcy proceedings. In addition to the Reduced Termination Fee, ACE and Tempo are required to pay approximately $1.2 million in fees and expenses to OCM on the earlier of (x) immediately following the Closing and (y) the Outside Business Combination Date. The Reduced Termination Fee and all other fees and expenses owed to OCM under the Oaktree Termination Letter will accrue interest at a rate of 20% per year, compounding monthly, starting on October 15, 2022. The Oaktree Termination Letter states that if the Business Combination has not been consummated prior to October 15, 2022, on the earliest of (I) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated, (II) the date on which either ACE or Tempo commence bankruptcy proceedings and (III) June 15, 2023, ACE and Tempo will pay OCM the full 3.5% termination fee and all of its accrued and unpaid fees and expenses. To the extent the termination fee and accrued and unpaid fees and expenses are not paid on or prior to June 15, 2023, the unpaid portion of the termination fee (together with all other unpaid fees and expenses) will accrue interest at a rate of 20% per year, compounding monthly, starting on October 15, 2022.

On March 16, 2022, ACE entered into Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements, which amended and restated the Original PIPE Common Stock Subscription Agreements in their entirety, pursuant to which certain investors agreed to purchase 10.2 million shares of New Tempo common stock at $10.00 per share for an aggregate commitment of $102.0 million.

303

On July 6, 2022, ACE entered into Second Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements (the “Second A&R Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors, which amended and restated the Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements in their entirety.

On September 7, 2022, ACE entered into the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements with each of the PIPE Investors, which will amend and restate the applicable Second Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements in their entirety. One of the Third Party PIPE Investors who entered into the Second A&R Subscription Agreement did not enter into the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreement and terminated its Second A&R Subscription Agreement on September 7, 2022. Pursuant to the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements, ACE agreed to issue additional shares of New Tempo common stock to each PIPE Investor in the event that the volume weighted average price per share of New Tempo common stock (the “Measurement Period VWAP”) during the 30 days commencing on the date on which a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of New Tempo common stock acquired by such PIPE Investors (the “PIPE Resale Registration Statement”) is declared effective is less than $10.00 per share. In such case, each PIPE Investor will be entitled to receive a number of shares of New Tempo common stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of New Tempo common stock issued to such PIPE Investor at the closing of the subscription and held by such PIPE Investor through the date that is 30 days after the effective date of the PIPE Resale Registration Statement (the “Measurement Date”) multiplied by (y) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is $10.00 minus the Adjustment Period VWAP (as defined below) and (B) the denominator of which is the Adjustment Period VWAP. In the event that the Adjustment Period VWAP is less than $4.00 (the “Price Floor Value”), the Adjustment Period VWAP shall be deemed to be the Price Floor Value.

ACE also agreed to issue up to 500,000 additional shares of New Tempo common stock to each such PIPE Investor in the event that the Additional Period VWAP (as defined below) is less than the Adjustment Period VWAP. In such case, each such PIPE Investor will be entitled to receive a number of shares of New Tempo common stock equal to the lesser of (1) such PIPE Investor’s pro rata portion of 500,000 additional shares of New Tempo common stock, and (2) (i) (A) (x) the number of shares issued to such PIPE Investor pursuant to such subscription agreement and held by such PIPE Investor on the last day of the 30 calendar day period ending on the date that is 15 months following the closing of the subscriptions (such 30 calendar day period, the “Additional Period”), times (y) the Adjustment Period VWAP, minus the average of the volume weighted average price of a share of New Tempo common stock determined for each of the trading days during the Additional Period (the “Additional Period VWAP”), minus (B) the number of PIPE Incentive Shares, times the Additional Period VWAP, divided by (ii) the Additional Period VWAP.

Additionally, ACE agreed to issue up to 2,000,000 additional shares (the “PIPE Incentive Shares”) to such PIPE Investors on a pro rata basis with respect to each PIPE Investor’s subscription amount as an incentive to subscribe for and purchase the shares under the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that New Tempo consummates a strategic transaction during the 15-month period beginning on the closing date, then the measurement date for the issuance of such additional shares shall be one day prior to the closing date of such strategic transaction, and the Additional Period VWAP will be deemed to equal the price per share paid or payable to the holders of outstanding shares of New Tempo common stock in connection with such strategic transaction. If such price is payable in whole or in part in the form of consideration other than cash, the value of such consideration will be (a) with respect to any securities, (i) the average of the closing prices of the sales of such securities on all securities exchanges on which such securities are then listed, averaged over a period of 30 trading days ending on the day as of which such value is being determined and the 29 consecutive days preceding such day, or if the information contemplated by the preceding clause (i) is not practically available, then the fair value of such securities as of the date of valuation as determined in accordance with the succeeding clause (b), and (b) with respect to any other non-cash assets, the fair value thereof as of the date of valuation, as determined by an independent, nationally recognized valuation firm reasonably selected by New Tempo, on the basis of an orderly sale to a willing, unaffiliated buyer in an arm’s-length transaction, taking into account all factors determinative of value as the investment banking firm determines relevant (and giving effect to any transfer taxes payable in connection with such sale).

One of the PIPE Investors’ Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreement provides that, if such PIPE Investor is an Eligible Investor (defined as any subscriber in the offering who is not a beneficial or record owner of ACE’s equity or an affiliate of ACE prior to the Initial Closing (as defined therein)), if, after the date of the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements, such PIPE Investor acquires ownership of Class A Ordinary Shares of ACE in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions with third parties (along with any related rights to redeem or convert such shares in connection with the Redemption) at least five business days prior to ACE’s extraordinary general meeting to approve the Business Combination, and such PIPE Investor does not redeem or convert such shares in connection with the Redemption (including revoking any prior redemption or conversion elections made with respect to such shares), the number of shares such PIPE Investor (only if an Eligible Investor) is obligated to purchase under its Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreement shall be reduced by the number of PIPE Non-Redeemed Shares.

304

The obligation of the parties to consummate the purchase and sale of the shares covered by the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements is conditioned upon, among others, (i) there not being in force any injunction or order enjoining or prohibiting the issuance and sale of the shares covered by the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements and (ii) satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent to the Closing under the Merger Agreement. The closings under the Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements will occur substantially concurrently with the Closing. For additional information, see “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — PIPE Subscription Agreements.”

We note that Citi, in its role as a placement agent that advised ACE in connection with the PIPE Investment, has resigned from its role in such capacity and waived all fees associated with such engagement. The placement agency services being provided by Citi in connection with the PIPE Investment were substantially complete at the time of its resignation, with any fees payable to Citi for such services contingent upon the closing of the Merger. The Company does not expect that the PIPE Investment will be impacted by Citi’s resignation. Committed and potential investors in the PIPE Investment have been informed of Citi’s resignation, and no investors have revised or withdrawn their respective commitments in light of that information. The PIPE Investment is not contingent upon any continued involvement by Citi in the transactions and, pursuant to the subscription agreements relating to the PIPE Investment, each investor in the PIPE Investment specifically has disclaimed reliance on any statement, representation or warranty made by, among others, each of the placement agents, including Citi, in connection with such investment. See “— Recent Developments.”

Cantor Share Purchase Agreement

On March 16, 2022, ACE entered into the Cantor Purchase Agreement with CFPI relating to the Facility. Pursuant to the Cantor Purchase Agreement, New Tempo will have the right from time to time at its option following closing of the Business Combination to sell to CFPI up to $100.0 million of New Tempo common stock subject to certain customary conditions and limitations set forth in the Cantor Purchase Agreement.

Sales of New Tempo common stock to CFPI under the Cantor Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any sales, will be determined by New Tempo from time to time in its sole discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of shares of New Tempo common stock and determinations by New Tempo regarding the use of proceeds of such sales. The net proceeds from any sales under the Cantor Purchase Agreement will depend on the frequency with, and prices at, which the shares of New Tempo common stock are sold to CFPI. New Tempo expects to use the proceeds from any sales under the Cantor Purchase Agreement for the payment of certain transaction expenses relating to the Business Combination and working capital and general corporate purposes.

Following the closing of the Business Combination, and upon the initial satisfaction of the conditions to CFPI’s obligation to purchase shares of New Tempo common stock set forth in the Purchase Agreement (the “Commencement”), including that a registration statement registering the resale by CFPI of such shares of New Tempo common stock under the Securities Act (the “Initial Resale Registration Statement”) is declared effective by the SEC and a final prospectus relating thereto is filed with the SEC, New Tempo will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at its sole discretion until the first day of the month next following the 36-month period from and after Commencement, to direct CFPI to purchase up to a specified maximum amount of shares of New Tempo as set forth in the Cantor Purchase Agreement by delivering written notice to CFPI prior to the commencement of trading on any trading day. The purchase price of the shares of New Tempo common stock that the Company elects to sell to Cantor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will be 97% of the volume weighted average price of the shares of New Tempo common stock during the applicable purchase date on which the Company has timely delivered written notice to CFPI directing it to purchase shares of New Tempo common stock under the Cantor Purchase Agreement.

In connection with the execution of the Cantor Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue shares of New Tempo common stock to CFPI as consideration for its irrevocable commitment to purchase the shares of New Tempo common stock upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Cantor Purchase Agreement. The Cantor Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations by each party. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Cantor Purchase Agreements were made only for purposes of the Cantor Purchase Agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and are subject to certain important limitations.

The Company has the right to terminate the Cantor Purchase Agreement at any time after Commencement, at no cost or penalty, upon five trading days’ prior written notice. No termination of the Cantor Purchase Agreement alter or otherwise affect the Company’s obligations under the Cantor Registration Rights Agreement. For additional information, see “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Cantor Purchase Agreement.”

Cantor Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Company’s entry into the Cantor Purchase Agreement, on March 16, 2022, the Company and CFPI entered into the Cantor Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which New Tempo will agree to register for resale, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the shares of New Tempo common stock that are sold to CFPI under the Facility and the shares of New Tempo common stock to be issued to CFPI as consideration for its irrevocable commitment to purchase the shares of New Tempo common stock, from time to time.

ACE Securities Purchase Agreement

On March 16, 2022, ACE entered into the ACE Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which ACE SO3 agreed to purchase an unsecured subordinated convertible note in an aggregate principal amount of $20.0 million from the Company in connection with the closing of the Business Combination. On July 1, 2022, ACE and ACE SO3 terminated the ACE Securities Purchase Agreement.

Backstop Subscription Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, ACE entered into a Backstop Subscription Agreement with the Backstop Investor, pursuant to which the Backstop Investor committed to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 shares of New Tempo common stock, for an aggregate amount of up to $30.0 million, to backstop the Minimum Available Acquiror Cash Amount. On March 16, 2022, ACE and the Backstop Investor terminated the Backstop Subscription Agreement. For additional information, see “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Backstop Subscription Agreement.”

Related Party Note and Advances

On May 28, 2020, ACE issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which ACE borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $186,760. The note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2020 and (ii) the completion of the initial public offering. The borrowings outstanding under the note in the amount of $186,760 were repaid upon the consummation of the initial public offering on July 30, 2020.

Prior to ACE’s initial business combination ACE’s audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, officers, directors or our or their affiliates and will determine which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on ACE’s behalf, although no such reimbursements will be made from the proceeds of ACE’s initial public offering held in the trust account prior to the completion of ACE’s initial business combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of ACE’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan ACE funds as may be required. In the event that ACE’s initial business combination does not close, ACE may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor. ACE does not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor as ACE does not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the trust account. As of December 31, 2020, ACE had no outstanding borrowings under the working capital loans.

ACE is not prohibited from pursuing a business combination with a company that is affiliated with the Sponsor, or ACE’s officers or directors or making the acquisition through a joint venture or other form of shared ownership with the Sponsor, or ACE’s officers or directors. In the event ACE seeks to complete a business combination with a target that is affiliated with the Sponsor, or ACE’s officers or directors, ACE, or a committee of independent and disinterested directors, would obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of FINRA or from an independent accounting firm, that such an initial business combination is fair to ACE from a financial point of view. ACE is not required to obtain such an opinion in any other context.

306

Working Capital Facility

On August 12, 2020, ACE entered into a working capital facility (the “Working Capital Facility”) with ASIA-IO Advisors Limited (“ASIA-IO”), an affiliate of the Sponsor, in the aggregate amount of $1,500,000. The funds from the Working Capital Facility will be utilized to finance transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination. The Working Capital Facility is non-interest bearing, non-convertible and due to be repaid upon the consummation of a Business Combination. In return, ACE deposited $900,000 into an account held by ASIA-IO, from which the Company may make fund withdrawals for up to $1,500,000.As part of the Working Capital Facility, ASIA-IO waived the right to convert the working capital loan into private placement warrants. Any outstanding amounts deposited with ASIA-IO upon the completion of a Business Combination or dissolution of ACE, will be returned to ACE. In November 2020, the deposit amount was reduced by $850,000. As of June 30, 2022, ACE had $829,295 of borrowings under the Working Capital Facility.

Administrative Services Agreement

ACE entered into an agreement whereby, commencing on July 28, 2020 through the earlier of the consummation of a business combination or ACE’s liquidation, ACE will pay the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, administrative and support services. Upon completion of a Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company incurred and paid $30,000 and $60,000 in fees for these services, of which $30,000 is included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had accrued fees in the amount of $150,000 and $90,000, respectively.

Sponsor Support Agreement

On October 13, 2021, the Sponsor, ACE, certain of ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees and Tempo entered into the Sponsor Support Agreement, whereby the Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. In addition, the Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to all of the Founder Shares and any ordinary shares held by them in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, subject to the terms and conditions contemplated in the letter agreement, dated as of July 27, 2020. The Sponsor also agreed to waive any and all anti-dilution rights. As of the date of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, and due to (i) the redemption of 14,797,723 public shares in January 2022 and (ii) the redemption of 4,256,979 public shares in connection with the shareholder vote in July 2022, in each case in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the extension of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination, the Sponsor (including ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees) owns 59.31% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares. If ACE is not able to complete the Business Combination with Tempo or another business combination by October 13, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), then the Sponsor and ACE’s directors, officers and initial shareholders and their permitted transferees will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any public shares they hold.

On July 6, 2022, the parties to the Sponsor Support Agreement entered into the First SSA Amendment, pursuant to which the Earnout Sponsors agreed, immediately prior to the Domestication, to contribute, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to ACE an aggregate of 5,595,000 Founder Shares in exchange for an aggregate of 3,595,000 Class A ordinary shares of ACE (the “SSA Exchange”). Pursuant to the First SSA Amendment, the Earnout Sponsors also agreed to subject an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of Domesticated ACE common stock (the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”) received in the SSA Exchange to certain earnout vesting conditions or, should such shares fail to vest, forfeiture to ACE for no consideration. On the earlier of (i) the date which is fifteen (15) months following the closing of the Business Combination and (ii) immediately prior to the closing of a strategic transaction, the Sponsor Earnout Shares will vest in an amount equal to (A) the number of Sponsor Earnout Shares, less (B) the number of Additional Period Shares, if any, issuable in the aggregate under such Amended and Restated PIPE Common Stock Subscription Agreements. In the event of a strategic transaction, the holders of any vested Sponsor Earnout Shares will be eligible to participate in such strategic transaction with respect to such Sponsor Earnout Shares on the same terms, and subject to the same conditions, as the other holders of shares of Domesticated ACE common stock generally. For additional information, see “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Sponsor Support Agreement.”

Lock-Up Agreements

Pursuant to the terms of the lock-up agreement between New Tempo, the Sponsor and certain former stockholders of Tempo (the “Lock-Up Agreement”), each party to the agreement has agreed that it will not, without the prior written consent of New Tempo during a lock-up period of 365 days, unless earlier released, and subject to customary exceptions, (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer, dispose of or agree to transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position any shares of New Tempo common stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for New Tempo common stock issued or issuable to such party pursuant to the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “Lock-Up Shares”), (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Shares or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii).

The lock-up restrictions contain customary exceptions, including for estate planning transfers, affiliates transfers, and transfers upon death or by will.

Promissory Note

On January 13, 2022, ACE entered into the Promissory Note with the Sponsor. Pursuant to the Promissory Note, the Sponsor has agreed that it will contribute to ACE as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “Contribution”) $0.03 for each Class A ordinary share of ACE that was not redeemed in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the extension of the deadline by which ACE must complete its initial business combination, for each month (or a pro rata portion thereof if less than a month) until the earlier of (i) the date of the extraordinary general meeting held in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the Business Combination and (ii) $1.5 million has been loaned. Up to $1.5 million of the loans may be settled in whole warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares of ACE at a conversion price equal to $1.00 per warrant. The Contribution(s) will not bear any interest, and will be repayable by ACE to the Sponsor upon the earlier of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination and the consummation of the Business Combination. ACE’s board of directors will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional months until $1.5 million in the aggregate has been loaned, and if ACE’s board of directors determines not to continue extending for additional months, the Sponsor’s obligation to make additional Contributions will terminate. If this occurs, ACE would wind up ACE’s affairs and redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in ACE’s Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. The maturity date of the Promissory Note may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined therein). Any outstanding principal under the Promissory Note may be prepaid at any time by ACE, at its election and without penalty, provided, however, that the Sponsor shall have a right to first convert such principal balance as described in Section 6 of the Promissory Note upon notice of such prepayment. If the Business Combination is not completed and ACE winds up, there will not be sufficient assets to repay the Promissory Note and it will be worthless.

308

On June 30, 2022, ACE and the Sponsor amended and restated the Promissory Note in its entirety to, among other things, increase the aggregate principal amount available thereunder from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000, contingent upon the approval by ACE’s shareholders of the extension of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination to October 13, 2022.

Bridge Notes

On August 25, 2022, Tempo entered into the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement, with the Initial Bridge Investors, pursuant to which Tempo agreed to issue up to $5.0 million in aggregate principal amount of August 2022 Bridge Notes to the Initial Bridge Investors for aggregate cash proceeds of approximately $1.4 million and the cancellation of approximately $3.6 million of outstanding amounts owed under the Loan and Security Agreement. Additionally, Tempo may, from time to time prior to October 9, 2022, issue up to $700,000 in aggregate principal amount of additional August 2022 Bridge Notes to one or more additional investors.

Upon the occurrence of any event of default under the August 2022 Bridge Notes until the earlier of the conversion of such August 2022 Bridge Note or the first date on which such event of default is cured or waived, the interest rate will be 15% per annum. Interest began accruing on August 25, 2022 and will continue to accrue on the outstanding unpaid principal until paid in full or converted in accordance with the terms of the August 2022 Bridge Notes. The August 2022 Bridge Notes will mature, and all outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable by Tempo, on the earlier of August 25, 2023 and the time at which such outstanding amount becomes due and payable upon an event of default under the August 2022 Bridge Notes.

Unless an event of default has occurred and is continuing at such time, upon the closing of the Business Combination, the consummation of another SPAC Transaction (as defined in the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement), the consummation of a qualified financing or the consummation of an initial public offering or direct listing, all outstanding amounts under the August 2022 Bridge Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, as of such time will automatically convert in full into a number of shares of (i) Tempo common stock or (ii) Tempo preferred stock having terms equivalent to the terms of Tempo’s most senior preferred stock, in each case in accordance with the terms of the August 2022 Bridge Notes, such that the value of the securities received by the holder of any August 2022 Bridge Note will equal the product of (x) the aggregate principal amount, together with any accrued but unpaid interest, outstanding under such August 2022 Bridge Note as of the time of such conversion multiplied by (y) four. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing at such time, then upon the closing of the Business Combination, the consummation of another SPAC Transaction, the consummation of a qualified financing, the consummation of an initial public offering or direct listing or the consummation of any Change of Control, the August 2022 Bridge Notes will only be converted as set forth above if the holder of such note provides its written consent to such conversion. Upon the consummation of any Change of Control (as defined in the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement) prior to the conversion of the August 2022 Bridge Notes, the Company will pay to the holder of such August 2022 Bridge Note, upon the closing of such Change of Control and in full satisfaction of the applicable August 2022 Bridge Note, a cash amount equal to the sum of (i) the product of (a) the outstanding principal balance under the applicable August 2022 Bridge Note multiplied by (b) four, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest. The August 2022 Bridge Notes contain customary events of default, including the failure of Tempo to pay any of the principal, interest or any other amounts payable under the August 2022 Bridge Notes when due and payable, the breach by Tempo of any provision of the August 2022 Bridge Notes or the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement and any event of default under the Loan and Security Agreement that has occurred and is continuing after October 31, 2022. The Bridge Note Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and closing conditions.

On August 25, in connection with the issuance and sale of the August 2022 Bridge Notes, and as a condition to closing the issuance and sale of the August 2022 Bridge Notes in accordance with the terms of the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement, Tempo:

● amended and restated the 2022 Promissory Notes (as defined herein) and the Bridge Note, in each case, on substantially similar terms to the August 2022 Bridge Notes;

● entered into an amended and restated warrant with Point72 Ventures Investments, LLC, which amended and restated that certain Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock, dated as of October 11, 2021, to, among other things, provide for the automatic conversion of such warrant into shares of Tempo common stock upon the consummation of the Business

311

Combination, a business combination or similar transaction with another special purpose acquisition company, the consummation of a qualified financing or the consummation of an initial public offering or direct listing; and

● adopted that certain Amended and Restated Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Tempo, to, among other things, (i) increase the authorized capital of Tempo for purposes of reserving for issuance an adequate number of shares of Tempo common stock and Tempo preferred stock for issuance upon conversion of the August 2022 Bridge Notes; and (ii) create a new series of Tempo preferred stock designated as “Series C-3 Preferred Stock” and establish the rights, preferences and privileges of such series of Tempo preferred stock for purposes of issuing shares of such series of Tempo preferred stock upon conversion of the August 2022 Bridge Notes.

On August 25, 2022, in connection with the issuance and sale of the August 2022 Bridge Notes, and as a condition to closing the issuance and sale of the August 2022 Bridge Notes in accordance with the terms of the Bridge Note Purchase Agreement, Tempo also entered into the Repayment Term Sheet. The Repayment Term Sheet contemplates that, in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the lenders under the Loan and Security Agreement (i) will convert up to $15.0 million in outstanding amounts under the Loan and Security Agreement as of such time into shares of New Tempo common stock pursuant to the PIPE Lender Subscription Agreement, (ii) will receive up to $3.0 million in cash from the net proceeds of the Trust Account over $15.0 million; and (iii) will convert $15.0 million in outstanding amounts under the Loan and Security Agreement as of such time into New Tempo Senior Notes, provided, that, (x) the Lender PIPE Conversion will be decreased by the Cash Amount, if any, and (y) for every $1.00 in net proceeds available from the Trust Account above $18.0 million, the Lender PIPE Conversion will be decreased and the Lender Debt Conversion will be increased, in each case, in like amount up to an aggregate decrease in the Lender PIPE Conversion and an aggregate increase in the Lender Debt Conversion of, in each case, $7.0 million. The New Tempo Senior Notes are expected to mature 36 months after the closing date of the Business Combination, and will be secured by a blanket lien on all assets of New Tempo and its subsidiaries. The New Tempo Senior Notes are anticipated to be issued at an original issuance discount of 1.50%, and will bear interest at a floating rate based on the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 4.25%, with a floor of 9.75%. A portion of the interest is anticipated to be payable in kind by increasing the aggregate principal amount under the New Tempo Senior Notes. All payments under the New Tempo Senior Notes for the first twelve months are expected to be credited towards interest only. Upon the final payment under the New Tempo Senior Notes, New Tempo anticipates that it will be required to pay an exit payment of 3.00% of the aggregate principal amount converted in the Lender Debt Conversion. The New Tempo Senior Notes are expected to be subject to customary covenants and events of default.

COMPARISON OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS

ACE is an exempted company incorporated under the Cayman Islands Companies Act. The Cayman Islands Companies Act and ACE’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association govern the rights of its shareholders. The Cayman Islands Companies Act differs in some material respects from laws generally applicable to United States corporations and their stockholders. In addition, the Cayman Constitutional Documents will differ in certain material respects from the Proposed Organizational Documents. As a result, when you become a stockholder of New Tempo, your rights will differ in some regards as compared to when you were a shareholder of ACE.

Below is a summary chart outlining important similarities and differences in the corporate governance and stockholder/shareholder rights associated with each of ACE and New Tempo according to applicable law or the organizational documents of ACE and New Tempo, respectively.

This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the Cayman Constitutional Documents of ACE, attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex G, the complete text of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex H and the complete text of the Proposed Bylaws, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex I. You should review each of the Proposed Organizational Documents, as well as the Delaware corporate law and corporate laws of the Cayman Islands, including the Cayman Islands Companies Act, to understand how these laws apply to New Tempo and ACE, respectively.

	Delaware	Cayman Islands
Stockholder/Shareholder Approval of Business Combinations	Mergers generally require approval of a majority of all outstanding shares. Mergers in which less than 20% of the acquirer’s stock is issued generally do not require acquirer stockholder approval. Mergers in which one corporation owns 90% or more of a second corporation may be completed without the vote of the second corporation’s board of directors or stockholders. The Proposed Organizational Documents will not alter any of these provisions.	Mergers require a special resolution, and any other authorization as may be specified in the relevant articles of association. Parties holding certain security interests in the constituent companies must also consent. All mergers (other than parent/subsidiary mergers) require shareholder approval — there is no exception for smaller mergers. Where a bidder, through a tender offer has received acceptance, of at least 90% or more of the shares in a Cayman Islands company to which the offer relates, it can compulsorily acquire the shares of the remaining shareholders and thereby become the sole shareholder. A Cayman Islands company may also be acquired through a “scheme of arrangement” sanctioned by a Cayman Islands court and approved by 50%+1 in number and 75% in value of shareholders in attendance and voting at a shareholders’ meeting.

313

	Delaware	Cayman Islands
Stockholder/Shareholder Votes for Routine Matters	Generally, approval of routine corporate matters that are put to a stockholder vote require the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter. The Proposed Organizational Documents will not alter this provision.	Under the Cayman Islands Companies Act and the Cayman Constitutional Documents, routine corporate matters may be approved by an ordinary resolution (being a resolution passed by a simple majority of the shareholders as being entitled to do so).
Appraisal Rights	Generally, a stockholder of a publicly traded corporation does not have appraisal rights in connection with a merger. The Proposed Organizational Documents will not provide for appraisal rights .	Minority shareholders that dissent from a merger are entitled to be paid the fair market value of their shares, which if necessary may ultimately be determined by the court.
Inspection of Books and Records	Any stockholder may inspect the corporation’s books and records for a proper purpose during the usual hours for business.	Shareholders generally do not have any rights to inspect or obtain copies of the register of shareholders or other corporate records of a company.
Stockholder/Shareholder Lawsuits	A stockholder may bring a derivative suit subject to procedural requirements (including adopting Delaware as the exclusive forum as per Organizational Documents Proposal D).	In the Cayman Islands, the decision to institute proceedings on behalf of a company is generally taken by the company’s board of directors. A shareholder may be entitled to bring a derivative action on behalf of the company, but only in certain limited circumstances.
Fiduciary Duties of Directors	Directors must exercise a duty of care and duty of loyalty and good faith to the company and its stockholders.	A director owes fiduciary duties to a company, including to exercise loyalty, honesty, and good faith to the company as a whole. In addition to fiduciary duties, directors of ACE owe a duty of care, diligence, and skill. Such duties are owed to the company but may be owed direct to creditors or shareholders in certain limited circumstances.

314

	Delaware	Cayman Islands
Indemnification of Directors and Officers	A corporation is generally permitted to indemnify its directors and officers acting in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation will provide for indemnification of directors to the extent permissible under Delaware law.	A Cayman Islands company generally may indemnify its directors or officers except with regard to fraud or willful default.
Limited Liability of Directors	Delaware law permits limiting or eliminating the monetary liability of a director to a corporation or its stockholders, except with regard to breaches of duty of loyalty, intentional misconduct, unlawful repurchases or dividends, or improper personal benefit. The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation will limit a director’s liability to the extent permissible under Delaware law.	Liability of directors may be limited, except with regard to their own fraud or willful default.
Corporate Opportunity	The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation will be silent on the issue of the application of the doctrine of corporate opportunity.	The Cayman Constitutional Documents provide that ACE renounces its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer of ACE which may be an opportunity for such director, on the one hand, or ACE, on the other.

DESCRIPTION OF NEW TEMPO SECURITIES

The following summary of certain provisions of New Tempo securities does not purport to be complete and is subject to the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, the Proposed Bylaws, and the provisions of applicable law. Copies of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex H and Annex I, respectively.

Authorized Capitalization

General

The total amount of New Tempo’s authorized capital stock will consist of 600,000,000 shares of New Tempo common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 20,000,000 shares of New Tempo preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. New Tempo expects to have 29,400,297 shares of New Tempo common stock outstanding immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, Combination, assuming New Tempo issues 14,580,000 shares of New Tempo common stock to existing stockholders of Tempo, and assuming no public shareholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination.

The following summary describes all material provisions of New Tempo’s capital stock. New Tempo urges you to read the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws (copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex H and Annex I, respectively).

Preferred Stock

The Board of New Tempo has authority to issue shares of New Tempo’s preferred stock in one or more series and to determine and fix for each such series such voting powers, designations, preferences, qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences for the issue of such series all to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. The issuance of New Tempo’s preferred stock could have the effect of decreasing the trading price of New Tempo’s common stock, restricting dividends on New Tempo’s capital stock, diluting the voting power of New Tempo’s common stock, impairing the liquidation rights of New Tempo’s capital stock, or delaying or preventing a change in control of New Tempo.

Common Stock

New Tempo common stock is not entitled to preemptive or other similar subscription rights to purchase any of New Tempo’s securities. New Tempo common stock is neither convertible nor redeemable. Unless New Tempo’s board of directors determines otherwise, New Tempo will issue all of New Tempo’s capital stock in uncertificated form.

Voting Rights

Each holder of New Tempo common stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Under the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, New Tempo stockholders will not have cumulative voting rights. Because of this, the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors can elect all of the directors standing for election.

Dividend Rights

Each holder of shares of New Tempo’s common stock is entitled to the payment of dividends and other distributions as may be declared by the Board from time to time out of New Tempo’s assets or funds legally available for dividends or other distributions. These rights are subject to the preferential rights of the holders of New Tempo’s Preferred Stock, if any, and any contractual limitations on New Tempo’s ability to declare and pay dividends.

Other Rights

Each holder of New Tempo common stock is subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any series of New Tempo preferred stock that New Tempo may designate and issue in the future.

Liquidation Rights

If New Tempo is involved in voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of New Tempo’s affairs, or a similar event, each holder of New Tempo common stock will participate pro rata in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, in

316

accordance with the number of shares of common stock held by each such holder, subject to prior distribution rights of New Tempo preferred stock, if any, then outstanding.

Warrants to Purchase Shares of New Tempo Capital Stock

Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, all outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Tempo capital stock are expected to be automatically exercised in full on a cashless basis or for cash, at the election of each warrant holder. As of September 7, 2022, warrants to purchase 84,848 shares of Tempo Series A preferred stock were outstanding with an exercise price of approximately $1.15 per share, warrants to purchase 38,543 shares of Tempo Series B preferred stock were outstanding with an exercise price of approximately $2.76 per share, warrants to purchase 108,000 and 186,667 shares of Tempo Series C preferred stock (for which the exercise price will be waived in the event that the Business Combination is consummated) and warrants to purchase 182,500,642,413 and 2,363,000 shares of Tempo common stock with an exercise price of approximately $0.94, $1.51 and $2.82, respectively, though certain warrants provide cashless exercise features as well as the waiver of payment of exercise price payments under certain circumstances, including the Business Combination. Warrants to purchase 294,667 shares of Tempo Series C preferred stock are not expected to be eligible to purchase shares of Tempo capital stock.

ACE Redeemable Warrants

Public Warrants

As of August 31, 2022, there were 11,500,000 public warrants outstanding. Each whole public warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of New Tempo common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination and 12 months from the closing of ACE’s initial public offering, except as described below. A warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of New Tempo common stock. This means only a whole warrant may be exercised at a given time by a warrant holder. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

New Tempo will not be obligated to deliver any shares of New Tempo common stock pursuant to the exercise of a public warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the shares of New Tempo common stock issuable upon exercise of the public warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating thereto is available, subject to New Tempo satisfying its obligations described below with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available, including in connection with a cashless exercise. No public warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and New Tempo will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a public warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised public warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the share of New Tempo common stock underlying such unit.

As soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the Closing, New Tempo will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the issuance, under the Securities Act, of the shares of New Tempo common stock issuable upon exercise of the public warrants, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the Closing and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the public warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if shares of New Tempo common stock are, at the time of any exercise of a public 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, New Tempo 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 New Tempo so elects, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the public warrants for that number of shares of New Tempo common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of New Tempo common stock underlying the public warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) less the exercise price of the public warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” means the volume weighted average price of the shares of New Tempo common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent.

317

Redemption of public warrants.  Once the public warrants become exercisable, New Tempo may redeem the outstanding public warrants (except as described herein with respect to the private placement warrants):

● in whole and not in part;

● at a price of $0.01 per public warrant;

● upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and

● if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the shares of New Tempo common stock for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which New Tempo sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like).

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

The last of the redemption criterion discussed above was established to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the public warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and New Tempo issues a notice of redemption of the public warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise his, her or its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the shares of New Tempo common stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $11.50 (for whole shares) public warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.

If New Tempo calls the public warrants for redemption as described above, its management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise its public warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis,” New Tempo’s management will consider, among other factors, New Tempo’s cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of New Tempo common stock issuable upon the exercise of the public warrants. If management takes advantage of this option, all holders of public warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of New Tempo common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of New Tempo common stock underlying the public warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) over the exercise price of the public warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average last reported sale price of the shares of New Tempo common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of public warrants. If management takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares of shares of New Tempo common stock to be received upon exercise of the public warrants, including the “fair market value” in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a warrant redemption. If New Tempo calls the public warrants for redemption and management does not take advantage of this option, the Sponsor and its permitted transferees would still be entitled to exercise their private placement warrants for cash or on a cashless basis using the same formula described above that other warrant holders would have been required to use had all warrant holders been required to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis, as described in more detail below.

Redemption procedures.  A holder of a public warrant may notify New Tempo in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the warrant agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 9.8% (or such other amount as a holder may specify) of the shares of New Tempo common stock issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

Anti-dilution Adjustments.  If the number of issued and outstanding shares of New Tempo common stock is increased by a capitalization or stock dividend payable in shares of New Tempo common stock, or by a split-up of New Tempo common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such capitalization or stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of New Tempo common stock issuable on exercise of each public warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the issued and outstanding shares of New Tempo common stock. A rights offering made to all or substantially all holders of shares of New Tempo common stock entitling holders to purchase shares of New Tempo common stock at a price less than the “historical fair

318

market value” (as defined below) will be deemed a stock dividend of a number of shares of New Tempo common stock equal to the product of (1) the number of shares of New Tempo common stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for shares of New Tempo common stock) and (2) one minus the quotient of (x) the price per share of New Tempo common stock paid in such rights offering and (y) the historical fair market value. For these purposes, (1) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of New Tempo common stock, in determining the price payable for shares of New Tempo common stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (2) “historical fair market value” means the volume weighted average price of shares of New Tempo common stock during the 10 trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the shares of New Tempo common stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

In addition, if ACE or New Tempo, as applicable, at any time while the public warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pays to all or substantially all of the holders of shares of New Tempo common stock a dividend or makes a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of shares of New Tempo common stock on account of such shares of New Tempo common stock (or other securities into which the public warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described above, (b) any cash dividends or cash distributions which, when combined on a per share basis with all other cash dividends and cash distributions paid on the shares of New Tempo common stock during the 365-day period ending on the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution does not exceed $0.50 (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, stock dividends, rights issuances, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) but only with respect to the amount of the aggregate cash dividends or cash distributions equal to or less than $0.50 per share, or (c) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of ACE’s Class A ordinary shares in connection with the Business Combination, then the warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each share of New Tempo common stock in respect of such event.

If the number of issued and outstanding shares of New Tempo common stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse share split or reclassification of shares of New Tempo common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse share split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of New Tempo common stock issuable on exercise of each public warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in issued and outstanding shares of New Tempo common stock.

Whenever the number of shares of New Tempo common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the public warrants is adjusted, as described above, the warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of New Tempo common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the public warrants immediately prior to such adjustment and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of New Tempo common stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the issued and outstanding shares of New Tempo common stock (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such shares of New Tempo common stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of us with or into another corporation (other than a merger or consolidation in which New Tempo is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the issued and outstanding shares of New Tempo common stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of us as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which New Tempo is dissolved, the holders of the public warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the public warrants and in lieu of shares of New Tempo common stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares, stock or other equity securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the public warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their warrants immediately prior to such event. However, if such holders were entitled to exercise a right of election as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other assets receivable upon such merger or consolidation, then the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets for which each public warrant will become exercisable will be deemed to be the weighted average of the kind and amount received per share by such holders in such merger or consolidation that affirmatively make such election, and if a tender, exchange or redemption offer has been made to and accepted by such holders (other than in connection with the Business Combination) under circumstances in which, upon completion of such tender or exchange offer, the maker thereof, together with members of any group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) of which such maker is a part, and together with any affiliate or associate of such maker (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and any members of any such group of which any such affiliate or associate is a part, own beneficially (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) more than 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of New Tempo common stock, the holder of a warrant will be entitled to receive the highest amount of cash, securities or other property to

319

which such holder would actually have been entitled as a shareholder if such warrant holder had exercised the warrant prior to the expiration of such tender or exchange offer, accepted such offer and all of the shares of New Tempo common stock held by such holder had been purchased pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, subject to adjustment (from and after the consummation of such tender or exchange offer) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in the Warrant Agreement. Additionally, if less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of shares of New Tempo common stock in such a transaction is payable in the form of ordinary shares in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the warrant properly exercises the warrant within 30 days following public disclosure of such transaction, the warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the Warrant Agreement based on the per share consideration minus Black-Scholes Warrant Value (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) of the warrant.

The public warrants have been issued in registered form under a Warrant Agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and ACE. The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the public warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder for the purpose of (i) curing any ambiguity or correcting any mistake, including to conform the provisions of the Warrant Agreement to the description of the terms of the public warrants and the Warrant Agreement set forth in this prospectus, or defective provision or (ii) adding or changing any provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Warrant Agreement as the parties to the Warrant Agreement may deem necessary or desirable and that the parties deem to not adversely affect the rights of the registered holders of the public warrants, provided that the approval by the holders of at least 65% of the then-outstanding public warrants is required to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders.

The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of ordinary shares and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of New Tempo common stock. After the issuance of shares of New Tempo common stock upon exercise of the public warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders.

No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units following the Business Combination and only whole warrants will trade.

Private Placement Warrants

As of August 31, 2022, there were 6,600,000 private placement warrants outstanding. The private placement warrants (including the shares of New Tempo common stock issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination (except, among other limited exceptions, to directors and officers of ACE and other persons or entities affiliated with the Sponsor) and they will not be redeemable by New Tempo so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. The Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, has the option to exercise the private placement warrants on a cashless basis and have certain registration rights described herein. Otherwise, the private placement warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the public warrants. If the private placement warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the private placement warrants will be redeemable by New Tempo in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the public warrants included in the units. Any amendment to the terms of the private placement warrants or any provision of the Warrant Agreement with respect to the private placement warrants will require a vote of holders of at least 65% of the number of the then outstanding private placement warrants.

If holders of the private placement warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering his, her or its warrants for that number of shares of New Tempo common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of New Tempo common stock underlying the private placement warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “historical fair market value” (defined below) less the exercise price of the private placement warrants by (y) the historical fair market value. For these purposes, the “historical fair market value” shall mean the average last reported sale price of the shares of New Tempo common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent. Even during such periods of time when insiders will be permitted to sell New Tempo securities, an insider cannot trade in New Tempo securities if he or she is in possession of material non-public information. Accordingly, unlike public shareholders who could exercise their public warrants and sell the shares of New Tempo common stock received upon such exercise freely in the open market in order to recoup the cost of such exercise, the insiders could be significantly restricted from selling such securities.

Action by Written Consent

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation provides that any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders must be effected at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, and may not be taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

As a Delaware corporation, New Tempo is subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which generally prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, with the following exceptions:

● before such date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

● upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction began, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder, those shares owned (1) by persons who are directors and also officers and (2) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

● on or after such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds (66 and 2∕3%) of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

In general, Section 203 defines a “business combination” to include the following:

● any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;

● any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder;

● subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;

● any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock or any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or

● the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits by or through the corporation.

In general, Section 203 defines an “interested stockholder” as an entity or person who, together with the person’s affiliates and associates, beneficially owns or within three years prior to the time of determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation.

A Delaware corporation may “opt out” of these provisions with an express provision in its original certificate of incorporation or an express provision in its amended and restated certificate of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws resulting from a stockholders’ amendment approved by at least a majority of the outstanding voting shares. New Tempo has not opted out of these provisions. As a result, mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts of New Tempo may be discouraged or prevented.

Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaws

Among other things, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaws:

● permit the Board to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with any rights, preferences and privileges as they may designate, including the right to approve an acquisition or other change of control;

● provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the Board;

● provide that the Board will be classified into three classes of directors;

321

● provide that, subject to the rights of any series of preferred stock to elect directors, directors may only be removed for cause, which removal may be effected, subject to any limitation imposed by law, by the holders of at least two-thirds (66 and 2∕3%) of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporation entitled to vote at an election of directors.

● provide that all vacancies, including newly created directorships, may, except as otherwise required by law, be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (other than any directors elected by the separate vote of one or more outstanding series of preferred stock), and shall not be filled by the stockholders;

● require that any action to be taken by New Tempo stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and not be taken by written consent or electronic transmission;

● provide that stockholders seeking to present proposals before a meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at a meeting of stockholders must provide advance notice in writing, and also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice;

● provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the chairperson of the Board, its chief executive officer, its president or by its board of directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors; and

● not provide for cumulative voting rights, therefore allowing the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors to elect all of the directors standing for election, if they should so choose.

The amendment of any of these provisions would require approval by the holders of at least two-thirds (66 and 2∕3%) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. The Board may also act without stockholder action to amend, adopt or repeal the Proposed Bylaws.

The combination of these provisions will make it more difficult for New Tempo’s existing stockholders to replace the Board as well as for another party to obtain control of New Tempo by replacing its board of directors. Since the Board has the power to retain and discharge its officers, these provisions could also make it more difficult for existing stockholders or another party to effect a change in management. In addition, the authorization of undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for the Board to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change our control.

These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of the Board and its policies and to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to reduce New Tempo’s vulnerability to hostile takeovers and to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for New Tempo’s capital stock and may have the effect of delaying changes in New Tempo’s control or management. As a consequence, these provisions may also inhibit fluctuations in the market price of New Tempo’s common stock.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation contains provisions that limit the liability of New Tempo’s directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Delaware law provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL, including:

● any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;

● any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

● unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; or

● any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Such limitation of liability does not apply to liabilities arising under federal securities laws and does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.

322

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation authorizes New Tempo to indemnify its directors, officers, employees, and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The Proposed Bylaws provide that New Tempo is required to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law and may indemnify its other employees and agents. The Proposed bylaws also provide that, on satisfaction of certain conditions, New Tempo will advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding, and secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee, or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in that capacity regardless of whether New Tempo would otherwise be permitted to indemnify him or her under the provisions of Delaware law. New Tempo expects to enter into agreements to indemnify its directors and executive officers in connection with the Business Combination. With certain exceptions, these agreements provide for indemnification for related expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and settlement amounts incurred by any of these individuals in connection with any action, proceeding or investigation. New Tempo believes that the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaw provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. New Tempo will also maintain customary directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against New Tempo’s directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against New Tempo’s directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and other stockholders. Further, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent that New Tempo pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers as required by these indemnification provisions.

Exclusive Jurisdiction of Certain Actions

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, in the event that the Chancery Court does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) is the sole and exclusive forum for the following types of actions or proceedings under Delaware statutory or common law: (i) any derivative action, suit or proceeding brought on New Tempo’s behalf; (ii) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of New Tempo’s directors, officers, or stockholders to us or New Tempo’s stockholders; (iii) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against New Tempo or any of New Tempo’s directors, officers or other employees arising out of or pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation or the Proposed Bylaws; and (iv) any action or proceeding asserting a claim against New Tempo or any of New Tempo’s directors, officers, or other employees that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in all cases to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants, unless New Tempo consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum. This choice of forum provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction, or the Securities Act. The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation further provides that, unless New Tempo consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. However, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, both state and federal courts have jurisdiction to entertain such claims. As noted above, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation provides that the federal district courts of the United States will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action under the Securities Act. Due to the concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts created by Section 22 of the Securities Act over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce the exclusive form provision. Additionally, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation provides that any person or entity holding, owning or otherwise acquiring any interest in any of New Tempo’s securities shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to these provisions. Investors also cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Transfer Agent

The transfer agent for New Tempo common stock will be Continental.

SECURITIES ACT RESTRICTIONS ON RESALE OF NEW TEMPO SECURITIES

Pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), a person who has beneficially owned restricted New Tempo common stock or New Tempo warrants for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been an affiliate of New Tempo at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) New Tempo is subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and has filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months (or such shorter period as New Tempo was required to file reports) preceding the sale.

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted New Tempo common stock shares or New Tempo warrants for at least six months but who are affiliates of New Tempo at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:

● 1% of the total number of New Tempo common stock then outstanding; or

● the average weekly reported trading volume of New Tempo’s common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

Sales by affiliates of New Tempo under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about New Tempo.

Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies

Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:

● the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;

● the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

● the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and

● at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

As a result, the Sponsor will be able to sell its founder shares and private placement warrants, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 144 without registration one year after ACE has completed the Business Combination.

ACE anticipates that following the consummation of the Business Combination, New Tempo will no longer be a shell company, and so, once the conditions set forth in the exceptions listed above are satisfied, Rule 144 will become available for the resale of the above noted restricted securities.

324

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND NOMINATIONS

Stockholder Proposals

New Tempo’s Proposed Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholders who wish to present a proposal before an annual meeting of stockholders. New Tempo’s Proposed Bylaws provide that the only business that may be conducted at an annual meeting of stockholders is business that is (i) specified in the notice of such meeting (or any supplement or amendment thereto) given by or at the direction of New Tempo’s board of directors, (ii) otherwise properly brought before such meeting by or at the direction of New Tempo’s board of directors or the chairperson of the board, or (iii) otherwise properly brought before such meeting by a stockholder present in person who (A) (1) was a record owner of shares of New Tempo both at the time of giving the notice and at the time of such meeting, (2) is entitled to vote at such meeting, and (3) has complied with notice procedures specified in New Tempo’s Proposed Bylaws in all applicable respects or (B) properly made such proposal in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

● not earlier than the 90th day; and

● not later than the 120th day,

before the one-year anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting.

In the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year, notice of a stockholder proposal must be not earlier than the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or, if later, the 10th day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was first made. In the event that New Tempo holds its annual meeting of stockholders more than more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after the one-year anniversary of a preceding year’s annual meeting, notice of a stockholder proposal must be not later than the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or, if later, the 10th day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was first made.

Accordingly, for New Tempo’s annual meeting, assuming the meeting is held on                 notice of a nomination or proposal must be delivered to New Tempo no later than             and no earlier than           . Nominations and proposals must also satisfy other requirements set forth in the bylaws.

Under Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, a stockholder proposal to be included in the proxy statement and proxy card for the 2023 annual meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 must be received at New Tempo’s principal office a reasonable time before New Tempo begins to print and send its proxy materials and must comply with Rule 14a-8.

Stockholder Director Nominees

New Tempo’s Proposed Bylaws permit stockholders to nominate directors for election at an annual meeting or at a special meeting (but only if the election of directors is a matter specified in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the person calling such special meeting) of stockholders, subject to the provisions of New Tempo’s Proposed Certificate of Incorporation. To nominate a director, the stockholder must provide the information required by New Tempo’s Proposed Bylaws. In addition, the stockholder must give timely notice to New Tempo’s secretary in accordance with New Tempo’s Proposed Bylaws, which, in general, require that the notice be received by New Tempo’s secretary within the time periods described above under “— Stockholder Proposals” for stockholder proposals.

325

DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Pursuant to the rules of the SEC, ACE and the services that it employs to deliver communications to its shareholders are permitted to deliver to two or more shareholders sharing the same address a single copy of each of ACE’s annual report to shareholders and ACE’s proxy statement. Upon written or oral request, ACE will deliver a separate copy of the annual report to shareholders or proxy statement to any shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy of each document was delivered and who wishes to receive separate copies of such documents. Shareholders receiving multiple copies of such documents may likewise request that ACE deliver single copies of such documents in the future.

329

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITY

ACE is a Cayman Islands exempted company. If ACE does not change its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware by effecting the Domestication, you may have difficulty serving legal process within the United States upon ACE. You may also have difficulty enforcing, both in and outside the United States, judgments you may obtain in U.S. courts against ACE in any action, including actions based upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal or state securities laws. Furthermore, there is doubt that the courts of the Cayman Islands would enter judgments in original actions brought in those courts predicated on U.S. federal or state securities laws. However, ACE may be served with process in the United States with respect to actions against ACE arising out of or in connection with violation of U.S. federal securities laws relating to offers and sales of ACE’s securities by serving ACE’s U.S. agent irrevocably appointed for that purpose.

330

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of
ACE Convergence Acquisition Corp.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ACE Convergence Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, statements of changes in shareholders’ deficit and statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the period from March 31, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the period from March 31, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, if the Company is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs and complete a business combination by July 13, 2022 then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. 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. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ WithumSmith+Brown, PC

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND PLAN OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS

ACE Convergence Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on March 31, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”). On January 6, 2021, ACE Convergence Subsidiary Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ACE Convergence Acquisition Corp., was formed.

Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company intends to focus on businesses in the IT infrastructure software and semiconductor sector. 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 December 31, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activities from inception to December 31, 2021 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and, after the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on July 27, 2020. On July 30, 2020, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units offered, the “Public Shares”), which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000, which is described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 6,600,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, ACE Convergence Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $6,600,000, which is described in Note 4.

Transaction costs amounted to $13,273,096 consisting of $4,600,000 of underwriting fees, $8,050,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $623,096 of other offering costs.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on July 30, 2020, an amount of $230,000,000 ($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 Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) which was invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earliest of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders, as described below.

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. The Nasdaq listing rules require that the Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account). The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

DECEMBER 31, 2021

The Company will provide the holders of the public shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the Business Combination, either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination (initially to be $10.00 per Public Share), including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, subject to certain limitations as described in the prospectus. The per-share amount to be distributed to the Public Shareholders who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 6). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, it receives an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law approving a Business Combination, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who attend and vote in person or by proxy at a general meeting of the Company. If a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s 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, without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against a proposed Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination and the Company does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent.

The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to any 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 Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (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 the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares.

The Company will have until July 13, 2022 (the “Combination Period”) to complete the Business Combination. On January 25, 2022 the Company voted to amended its Articles of Association to extend the Combination Period to July 13, 2022 from January 30, 2022. However, if the Company has not completed a Business Combination within the Combination Period or any Extension 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 100% of the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the rights of the Public Shareholders 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 Public Shareholders and its Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, 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 or any Extension Period.

The Sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period or any Extension Period. However, if the Sponsor or any of its respective affiliates acquire Public Shares, 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 or any Extension Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period or any Extension Period, and in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).

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 (other than the Company’s independent auditors) 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 trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any 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 underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). 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 (other than the Company’s independent auditors), 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.

Going Concern

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $8,390 in its operating bank accounts, $230,158,259 in marketable securities held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem its ordinary shares in connection therewith and a working capital deficit of $6,666,868.

The Company intends to complete a Business Combination by July 13, 2022 or during any Extension Period, as applicable. However, in the absence of a completed Business Combination, the Company may require additional capital. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, suspending the pursuit of a Business Combination. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until July 13, 2022 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after July 13, 2022.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the SEC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2021

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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 of 2002, 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 the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

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 consolidated 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. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements is the determination of fair value of the warrant liability. 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 December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At December 31, 2021, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury securities. All of the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account in

F-10

ACE CONVERGENCE ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2021

the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Warrant Liability

The Company accounts for the Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-40 under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statements of operations. The Private Warrants (and the Public Warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available) are valued using a Modified Black Scholes Model. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the Public Warrant quoted market price was used as the fair value as of each relevant date.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are 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 shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at December 31, 2021 and 2020, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

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. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable Class A ordinary shares resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Class A ordinary shares reflected in the consolidated balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Gross proceeds	$	230,000,000
Less:
Proceeds allocated to Public Warrants		(11,270,000)
Class A ordinary shares issuance costs		(12,737,837)
Plus:
Accretion of carrying value to redemption value		24,007,837
Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption	$	230,000,000

Offering Costs

Offering costs consisted of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the Initial Public Offering that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounted to $13,273,096, of which $12,737,837 were charged to temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, and the remaining $667,259 of offering costs allocated to the warrant liability was charged to operations.

Income Taxes

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more

likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

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 periods presented. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. The Company has two classes of ordinary shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Income and losses are shared prorata between the two classes of shares. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

The calculation of diluted income (loss) per share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the private placement since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The warrants are exercisable to purchase 18,100,000 Class A ordinary shares in the aggregate. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share is the same as basic net income (loss) per ordinary share for the periods presented.

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage 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 fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature except warrant liabilities (see Note 9).

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2020, 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, 2024 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 23,000,000  Units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,000,000 Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share (see Note 8).

NOTE 4 — PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 6,600,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $6,600,000. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8). A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period or any Extension 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 5 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

In May 2020, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate consideration of $25,000. On May 29, 2020, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 155,000 Founder Shares to certain members of the Company’s management team. On October 13, 2021, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 1,678,500 Founder Shares to Sunny Siu.

within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, amalgamation, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

Working Capital Facility

On August 12, 2020, the Company entered into a working capital facility (the “Working Capital Facility”) with ASIA-IO Advisors Limited (“ASIA-IO”), an affiliate of the Company, in the aggregate amount of $1,500,000. The funds from the Working Capital Facility shall be utilized to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination. The Working Capital Facility is non-interest bearing, non-convertible and due to be repaid upon the consummation of a Business Combination. In return, the Company deposited $900,000 into an account held by ASIA-IO, from which the Company may make fund withdrawals for up to $1,500,000. Any outstanding amounts deposited with ASIA-IO upon the completion of a Business Combination or dissolution of the Company, shall be returned to the Company. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had $527,756 and no borrowing, respectively, borrowings under the working capital facility.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on July 28, 2020, to pay the Sponsor up to $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. Upon completion of a Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred $120,000, of which $90,000 is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the December 31, 2021 consolidated balance sheet. For the period from March 31, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, the Company incurred and paid $20,000 in fees for these services.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes may be repaid upon completion of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of notes may be converted upon completion of a Business Combination into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

NOTE 6 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Risks and Uncertainties

Management is continuing 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 these consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Registration Rights

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on July 27, 2020, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued on conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) are entitled to registration rights requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to the Company’s Class A ordinary shares). The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration 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 and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not be required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $4,600,000 in the aggregate. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $8,050,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

NOTE 7 — SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

Preference Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.

Class A Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were 23,000,000 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding which are presented as temporary equity.

Class B Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Class B ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding.

Holders of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, except as required by law.

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which Class B ordinary shares shall convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, 20% of the sum of all ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the Business Combination, excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the Business Combination.

NOTE 8 — WARRANTS

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination and (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five years from 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 Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating thereto is available, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available, including in connection with a cashless exercise. No Public Warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their Public Warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of a Business Combination, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the issuance, under the Securities Act, of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of the Business Combination and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Public Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A ordinary shares are, at the time of any exercise of a Public 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

F-18

ACE CONVERGENCE ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2021

their Public 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, but will use its commercially reasonable efforts to qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:

● in whole and not in part;

● at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant;

● upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and

● if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A ordinary shares for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like).

If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, as described above, its management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period or any Extension Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Public Warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Public Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Public Warrants. Accordingly, the Public Warrants may expire worthless.

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 a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per Class A ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the 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 a Business Combination on the date of the consummation of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of its Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its 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, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units 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 a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable, except as described above, 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.

NOTE 9 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

At December 31, 2021, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $598 in cash and $230,157,661 in money market funds. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company did not withdraw any interest income from the Trust Account. At December 31, 2020, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $82 in cash and $230,091,280 in U.S. Treasury Securities.

The gross holding gains and fair value of held-to-maturity securities at December 31, 2020 is as follows:

			Gross
		Amortized	Holding
	Held-To-Maturity	Cost	Gain	Fair Value
December 31, 2020	U.S. Treasury Securities (Matured on 1/28/21)*	230,091,280	7,515	230,098,795

*     Upon maturity, the securities were reinvested into money market funds, which invest in U.S. Treasury Securities. As of December 31, 2021 there were no held-to-maturity securities.

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

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

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

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

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2021 and 2020 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

	Markets	December 31,		December 31,
Description	(level)	2021		2020
Assets:
Cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account	1	$	230,157,661	$	230,098,795

The warrant liability are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liability in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Private Warrants were valued using a Modified Black Scholes Option Pricing Model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The Warrants were initially classified as Level 3 due to the use of unobservable inputs. The most significant input is volatility and significant increases (decreases) in the expected volatility in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the warrants from the Units, the close price of the Public Warrant price was used as the fair value as of each relevant date. The measurement of the Public Warrants is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market.

The key inputs in the modified Black Scholes model for the Private Placement Warrants were as follows at the following measurement dates:

	December 31,			December 31,
Input:	2021			2020
Risk-free interest rate		1.26	%		0.36	%
Expected term (years)		5.28			5.49
Expected volatility		18.8	%		22.7	%
Exercise price	$	11.50		$	11.50
Stock Price	$	9.96		$	10.22

The following table presents the changes in the fair value of Level 3 warrant liabilities:

	Private
	Placement		Public
Fair value as of May 28, 2020		—		—
Initial measurement on July 30, 2020	$	6,732,000	$	11,270,000
Transfer from Level 3 to Level 1		—		(11,270,000)
Change in fair value		2,772,000		—
Fair value as of December 31, 2020	$	9,504,000		—
Change in fair value		(4,557,918)		—
Fair value as of December 31, 2021	$	4,946,082		—

Due to the use of quoted prices in an active market (Level 1) to measure the fair value of the Public Warrants, subsequent to initial measurement, the Company had transfers out of Level 3 totaling $11,270,000 during the period from July 30, 2020 through December 31, 2020 and no transfers in 2021.

NOTE 10 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the consolidated financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, except as described below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

On January 13, 2022, in connection with extension of the business combination period, the Sponsor agreed to contribute to the Company as a loan $0.03 for each Class A ordinary share of the Company that is not redeemed in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the Extension, for each month (or a pro rata portion thereof if less than a month) until the earlier of (i) the date of the extraordinary general meeting held in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the business combination between the Company and Tempo Automation, Inc. and (ii) $1.5 million has been loaned. The Contribution(s) will not bear any interest, and will be repayable by the Company to the Sponsor upon the earlier of the date by which the Company must complete an initial business combination and the consummation of the business combination between the Company and Tempo Automation, Inc.

On January 21, 2022, in connection with the extension of time to complete a business combination, shareholders of Class A Ordinary shares elected to redeem an aggregate of 14,797,723 Class A Ordinary Shares.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND PLAN OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS

ACE Convergence Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on March 31, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”). On January 6, 2021, ACE Convergence Subsidiary Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, was formed.

Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company intends to focus on businesses in the IT infrastructure software and semiconductor sector. 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 June 30, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through June 30, 2022, relates to the Company’s formation, its initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on July 27, 2020. On July 30, 2020, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 units (the “Units,” and the Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, included in the Units offered, the “Public Shares” or the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000, which is described in Note 4.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 6,600,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, ACE Convergence Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $6,600,000, which is described in Note 5.

Transaction costs amounted to $13,273,096, consisting of $4,600,000 of underwriting fees, $8,050,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $623,096 of other offering costs.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on July 30, 2020, an amount of $230,000,000 ($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 Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) which was invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earliest of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders, as described below. On June 22, 2022, the Company instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee managing the Trust Account, to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash until the earlier of the consummation of the Tempo Business Combination (as defined below) or the liquidation of the Company.

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. The Nasdaq listing rules require that the Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account). The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient

(UNAUDITED)

for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

The Company will provide the holders of the public shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the Business Combination, either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, subject to certain limitations as described in the prospectus. The per-share amount to be distributed to the Public Shareholders who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 6). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, it receives an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law approving a Business Combination, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who attend and vote in person or by proxy at a general meeting of the Company. If a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor and its permitted transferees have agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) in favor of approving a Business Combination.

Subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material nonpublic information), the Sponsor and its and the Company’s respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may (i) purchase public shares from institutional and other investors (including those who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the proposals presented in connection with a Business Combination, or elect to redeem, or indicate an intention to redeem, public shares), (ii) enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to not redeem their public shares, or (iii) execute agreements to purchase such public shares from such investors or enter into non-redemption agreements in the future. In the event that the Sponsor or its or the Company’s respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates purchase public shares in situations in which the tender offer rules restrictions on purchases would apply, they (a) would purchase the public shares at a price no higher than the price offered through the Company’s redemption process (i.e., approximately $10.15 per share based on Trust Account figures as of June 30, 2022, and taking into account the $43,349,494 that was paid out of the Trust Account in July 2022 in connection with the redemptions received in connection with the shareholder vote to extend the date by which the Company must complete a Business Combination); (b) would represent in writing that such public shares will not be voted in favor of approving a Business Combination; and (c) would waive in writing any redemption rights with respect to the public shares so purchased. To the extent any such purchases are made by the Sponsor or its or the Company’s respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates in situations in which the tender offer rules and restrictions on purchases apply, the Company will disclose in a Current Report on Form 8-K prior to the extraordinary general meeting the following: (i) the number of public shares purchased outside of the redemption offer, along with the purchase price(s) for such public shares; (ii) the purpose of any such purchases; (iii) the impact, if any, of the purchases on the likelihood that the Business Combination will be approved; (iv) the identities of the Company securityholders who sold to the Sponsor or its or the Company’s respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of the securityholders (e.g., 5% security holders) who sold such public shares; and (v) the number of ordinary shares for which the Company has received redemption requests pursuant to its redemption offer. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of (x) satisfaction of a minimum cash condition in connection with a Business Combination, (y) otherwise limiting the number of public shares electing to redeem and (z) the Company’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) being at least $5,000,001. A purchase of warrants by the Sponsor or its or the Company’s respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may have the effect of increasing share ownership of the target company on a fully diluted basis. If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Consistent with SEC guidance, purchases

F-28

ACE CONVERGENCE ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2022

(UNAUDITED)

of shares by the persons described above would not be permitted to be voted for the Business Combination at the extraordinary general meeting and could decrease the chances that the Business Combination would be approved. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of the Company’s securities and the number of beneficial holders of its securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of its securities on a national securities exchange.

Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares, with or without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against a proposed Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination and the Company does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent.

The Sponsor and its permitted transferees have agreed (a) to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association (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 the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares.

The Company will have until October 13, 2022 (the “Combination Period”), to complete the Business Combination. On January 21, 2022, the shareholders of the Company voted to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the Combination Period to July 13, 2022, from January 30, 2022. On January 21, 2022, in connection with the extension of the business combination period, shareholders of Class A Ordinary Shares elected to redeem an aggregate of 14,797,723 Class A Ordinary Shares. As a result, $148,079,821 was paid out of the Trust Account in connection with such redemptions. On July 12, 2022, the shareholders of the Company voted to amend the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the Combination Period to October 13, 2022, and in connection therewith, shareholders of Class A Ordinary Shares elected to redeem an aggregate of 4,256,979 Class A Ordinary Shares. As a result, $43,349,494 was paid out of the Trust Account in connection with such redemptions. If the Company has not completed a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as it may be extended), 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 100% of the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the rights of the Public Shareholders 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 Public Shareholders and its Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, 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 (as it may be extended).

The Sponsor and its permitted transferees have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as it may be extended). However, if the Sponsor or any of its respective affiliates acquire Public Shares, 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 (as it may be extended). The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as it may be extended), and in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that

(UNAUDITED)

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 that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent auditors) 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 trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any 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 underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). 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 (other than the Company’s independent auditors), 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.

Going Concern

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had no cash in its operating bank accounts, $83,421,902 in cash held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem its ordinary shares in connection therewith and a working capital deficit of $10,251,609.

The Company intends to complete a Business Combination by October 13, 2022 (or, as such date may be extended, such extended date). However, in the absence of a completed Business Combination, the Company will require additional capital. The Company as of June 30, 2022, has no cash held outside of trust and will require further capital contribution from the Sponsor, management, or related parties. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, suspending the pursuit of a Business Combination. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through one year from the date of these financial statements if a Business Combination is not consummated. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until October 13, 2022, to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities as of June 30, 2022, should the Company be required to liquidate after October 13, 2022.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes

necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim 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 consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on March 10, 2022. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022, or for any future periods.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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 of 2002, 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 those of another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

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

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. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements is the determination of fair value of the warrant liability. 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 Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At June 30, 2022, all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in cash. At December 31, 2021, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in cash and money market funds which were invested primarily in U.S. Treasury securities. All of the Company’s investments that were held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information.

With respect to the regulation of special purpose acquisition companies like the Company (“SPACs”), on March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules (the “SPAC Rule Proposals”) relating to, among other items, disclosures in business combination transactions involving SPACs and private operating companies; the condensed financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; the use of projections by SPACs in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination transactions; the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, including a proposed rule that would provide SPACs a safe harbor from treatment as an investment company if they satisfy certain conditions that limit a SPAC’s duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities.

With regard to the SEC’s investment company proposals included in the SPAC Rule Proposals, while the funds in the Trust Account have, since the Company’s initial public offering, been held only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasuries, to mitigate the risk of being viewed as operating an unregistered investment company (including pursuant to the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940), on June 22, 2022, the Company instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee managing the Trust Account, to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash until the earlier of consummation of the Tempo Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company.

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 June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

Warrant Liability

The Company accounts for the public warrants and the private placement warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”) in accordance with the guidance contained in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-40 under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Private Placement Warrants (and the Public Warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available) are valued using a Modified Black Scholes Model. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the Public Warrant quoted market price was used as the fair value as of each relevant date.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are 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 shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, Class

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable Class A ordinary shares resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

On January 13, 2022, contingent upon the Company’s shareholders’ approval of the extension of the business combination period, the Sponsor agreed to contribute to the Company as a loan $0.03 for each Class A Ordinary Share of the Company that was not redeemed in connection with the shareholder vote to approve such extension, for each month (or a pro rata portion thereof if less than a month) until the earlier of (i) the date of the extraordinary general meeting held in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the Tempo Business Combination and (ii) $1.5 million has been loaned, which amounts were to be deposited into the Trust Account. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company contributed an aggregate of $492,136 and $738,206 to the Trust Account, respectively. On June 30, 2022, the Sponsor and the Company agreed to, among other things, increase the aggregate principal amount available under such loan from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000, contingent upon the approval by the Company’s shareholders of the proposal to extend the date by which the Company must complete an initial business combination to October 13, 2022, which proposal was approved at an extraordinary general meeting on July 12, 2022. Monthly deposits into the Trust Account following the July 2022 redemptions are based on the number of Class A Ordinary Shares still outstanding following such redemptions.

In connection with the extension of the business combination period in January 2022, shareholders of Class A Ordinary Shares elected to redeem an aggregate of 14,797,723 Class A Ordinary Shares. As a result, $148,079,821 was paid out of the Trust Account in connection with such redemptions. In connection with the extension of the business combination period in July 2022, shareholders of Class A Ordinary Shares elected to redeem an aggregate of 4,256,979 Class A Ordinary Shares. As a result, $43,349,494 was paid out of the Trust Account in connection with such redemptions.

At June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Class A Ordinary Shares reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Offering costs amounted to $13,273,096, of which $12,605,837 were charged to temporary equity and accreted to redemption value upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, and the remaining $667,259 of offering costs allocated to the warrant liability was charged to operations.

Income Taxes

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

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 periods presented. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share

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

The calculation of diluted income (loss) per share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the private placement since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The warrants are exercisable to purchase 18,100,000 Class A ordinary shares in the aggregate. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net loss per ordinary share is the same as basic net loss per ordinary share for the periods presented.

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended

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 Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limits 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 fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature except warrant liabilities (see Note 9).

Recent Accounting Standards

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

NOTE 3 — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 23,000,000 Units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,000,000 Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share (see Note 8).

NOTE 4 — PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 6,600,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $6,600,000. Certain of the Private Placement Warrants have since been transferred to certain permitted transferees. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8). A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as it may be extended), 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 5 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

In May 2020, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate consideration of $25,000. On May 29, 2020, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 155,000 Founder Shares to certain members of the Company’s management team. On October 13, 2021, the Sponsor distributed 1,678,500 Founder Shares to Sunny Siu. In January 2022, the Sponsor distributed 755,930 Founder Shares to ACE SO5 Holdings Limited (“ACE SO5”), an affiliate of the Sponsor, and ACE SO5 became a party to (i) the Letter Agreement, dated as of July 27, 2020, by and among ACE, the Sponsor and certain of ACE’s current and former officers, directors and director nominees, and (ii) the Sponsor Support Agreement (as defined below).

The Sponsor, the initial shareholders and their respective permitted transferees have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur 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 shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, amalgamation, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

Working Capital Facility

On August 12, 2020, the Company entered into a working capital facility (the “Working Capital Facility”) with ASIA-IO Advisors Limited (“ASIA-IO”), an affiliate of the Company, in the aggregate amount of $1,500,000. The funds from the Working Capital Facility shall be utilized to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination. The Working Capital Facility is non-interest bearing, non-convertible and due to be repaid upon the consummation of a Business Combination. In return, the Company deposited $900,000 into an account held by ASIA-IO, from which the Company may make fund withdrawals for up to $1,500,000. Any outstanding amounts deposited with ASIA-IO upon the completion of a Business Combination or dissolution of the Company, shall be returned to the Company. As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had $829,295 and $527,756, respectively, borrowings under the working capital facility.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on July 28, 2020, to pay the Sponsor up to $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. Upon completion of a Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred $30,000 and $60,000, respectively, in fees for these services, of which such fee is included in accrued liabilities as of June 30, 2022, on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company incurred and paid $30,000 and $60,000 in fees for these services, of which $30,000 is included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021 the Company had accrued fees in the amount of $150,000 and $90,000, respectively.

Related Party Loans

On January 13, 2022, in connection with the Company’s extension of the date by which it must complete an initial business combination, the Sponsor agreed to contribute to the Company as a loan (as amended and restated on June 30, 2022, the “Sponsor Loan”) $0.03 for each Class A Ordinary Share of the Company that was not redeemed in connection with the shareholder vote to approve such extension, for each month (or a pro rata portion thereof if less than a month) until the earlier of (i) the date of the extraordinary general meeting held in connection with the shareholder vote to approve the Tempo Business Combination and (ii) $1.5 million has been loaned. Up to $1.5 million of the loans may be settled in whole warrants to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company at a conversion price equal to $1.00 per warrant. The loan will not bear any interest, and will be repayable by ACE to the Sponsor upon the earlier of the date by which ACE must complete an initial business combination and the consummation of the Tempo Business Combination. The maturity date of the Sponsor Loan may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined therein). Any outstanding principal under the Sponsor Loan may be prepaid at any time by ACE, at its election and without penalty, provided, however, that the Sponsor shall have a right to first convert such principal balance as described in Section 6 of the Sponsor Loan upon notice of such prepayment. On June 30, 2022, ACE and the Sponsor amended and restated the Sponsor Loan in its entirety to, among other things, increase the aggregate principal amount available thereunder from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000, contingent upon the approval by the Company’s shareholders of the proposal to extend the date by which the Company must complete an initial business combination to October 13, 2022, which proposal was approved by special resolution at an extraordinary general meeting on July 12, 2022. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company contributed $492,136 and $738,206 to the Trust Account, respectively. Monthly deposits into the Trust Account following the July 2022 redemptions are based on the number of Class A Ordinary Shares still outstanding following such redemptions.

As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had $1,500,000 and $0 borrowings under the Sponsor Loan, respectively. Management has determined the fair value of the note is more accurately recorded at par since the conversion price is almost 1,250% higher than the value of the warrants. No arm’s-length transaction by a note holder would result in a conversion with this fact pattern, thus it is a more accurate depiction with recording at par. As such, no fair value change was booked to the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, members of the Sponsor, the Company’s management and certain other related parties advanced the Company an aggregate of $277,426 and $0, respectively, for expenses related to operations and completing a Business Combination. The amounts loaned are non-interest bearing and due to be repaid upon the consummation of a Business Combination.

NOTE 6 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Risks and Uncertainties

Management is continuing 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 close of a Business Combination, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

2020 Registration Rights Agreement

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on July 27, 2020, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued on conversion of any working capital loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of such working capital loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) are entitled to registration rights requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to the Company’s Class A ordinary shares). The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration 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 and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not be required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

In connection with the Tempo Business Combination, the registration rights agreement will be amended and restated. At the closing of the Tempo Business Combination, Domesticated ACE (as defined below), the Sponsor, the other parties to the Sponsor Support Agreement and certain former stockholders of Tempo Automation, Inc. will enter into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which Domesticated ACE will agree to register for resale, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, certain shares of Domesticated ACE common stock and other equity securities of Domesticated ACE that are held by the parties thereto from time to time.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $4,600,000 in the aggregate. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $8,050,000 in the aggregate.

Business Combination Agreement

On October 13, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended and restated on August 12, 2022, the “Merger Agreement”) with Tempo Automation, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Tempo”), and Merger Sub.

Pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Tempo Business Combination”), and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into Tempo, with Tempo surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Prior to the closing of the Tempo Business Combination (the “Closing”), the Company shall domesticate as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication” and, ACE, after the Domestication, “Domesticated ACE”) and shall be renamed “Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc.”

As a result of and upon the Closing, among other things, all outstanding shares of Tempo common stock (after giving effect to the Company Preferred Conversion (as defined in the Merger Agreement)) as of immediately prior to the Closing, and, together with shares of Tempo common stock reserved in respect of Tempo options outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing that will be converted into awards based on Domesticated ACE common stock, will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, or the reservation of (in the case of any earnout shares, if and to the extent earned, and in the case of the Tempo options, if and to the extent earned and subject to their respective terms), an aggregate of approximately 23,500,000 shares of Domesticated ACE common stock (at a deemed value of $10.00 per share) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) $235,000,000 (the “Base Purchase Price”) by (ii) $10.00.

Additionally, Tempo has undertaken to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the holder of each outstanding and unexercised Tempo warrant to exercise such Tempo warrant in exchange for shares of Tempo common stock immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger. Holders of Tempo warrants may elect not to exercise such Tempo warrants in exchange for shares of Tempo common stock prior to the effective time of the Merger. Any Tempo warrants that remain issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Tempo Business Combination will be converted into warrants to purchase shares of Domesticated ACE common stock on substantially similar terms to the Tempo warrants.

An additional 3,800,000 shares of Domesticated ACE common stock will be purchased (at a price of $10.00 per share) at the Closing by certain third-party investors (“Third Party PIPE Investors”) and certain related parties of the Sponsor (collectively with the Third Party PIPE Investors, the “PIPE Investors”), for a total aggregate purchase price of up to $38.0 million (the “PIPE Investment”). In addition, the Company originally agreed to issue additional shares of Domesticated ACE common stock to each PIPE Investor in the event that the volume weighted average price per share of Domesticated ACE common stock during the 30 days commencing on the date on which a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of Domesticated ACE common stock acquired by the PIPE Investors is declared effective is less than $10.00 per share (which registration statement the Company has agreed to file pursuant to the subscription agreements entered into in connection with the PIPE Investment). Certain PIPE Investors originally subscribed for $25.0 million of ACE’s 12.0% convertible senior notes due 2025, but such subscription was terminated in January 2022 in connection with the subscription by certain parties for $200.0 million of 15.5% convertible notes. The latter subscription was terminated in July 2022; as a result of such termination, if ACE consummates an initial business combination with or among Tempo, Compass AC Holdings, Inc. (“Compass”), Whizz Systems, Inc. (“Whizz”) or any of their respective affiliates or subsidiaries, OCM Tempo Holdings, LLC (“OCM”) will be entitled to a termination fee of 3.5% of the aggregate principal amount of the subscribed notes (approximately $7.0 million), to be paid by ACE immediately following and as a condition subsequent to the closing of such initial business combination. Additionally, in March 2022, a ACE SO3 SPV Limited agreed to purchase an unsecured subordinated convertible note in an aggregate principal amount of $20.0 million in connection with the Closing, which agreement was terminated in July 2022.

On January 18, 2022, ACE and Tempo entered into certain convertible promissory notes (the “PIPE Promissory Notes”) with certain PIPE Investors affiliated with Tempo, pursuant to which such investors agreed to loan to Tempo up to an aggregate of $5 million, which loans may be converted into shares of Domesticated ACE common stock at a conversion price of $10.00 per share. Pursuant to the PIPE Promissory Notes, the principal balances of such notes shall reduce the subscription amount of such PIPE Investors pursuant to the terms of the applicable subscription agreements on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

On July 1, 2022, ACE, Tempo and ACE Equity Partners International Pte. Ltd. (“AEPI”) entered into an Unsecured Subordinated Convertible Note (the “Bridge Note”) due September 30, 2022, pursuant to which AEPI agreed to loan to Tempo up to an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000, $2,500,000 of which was advanced to Tempo prior to the date of the Bridge Note. Upon the closing of the Tempo Business Combination, all outstanding amounts under the Bridge Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, as of such time (the “Bridge Note Drawn Amount”) will automatically convert in full into a number of shares of common stock of Domesticated ACE equal to (i) the Bridge Note Drawn Amount, divided by (ii) $10.00, rounded down to the nearest whole share (such shares, the “Bridge Note Conversion Shares”), and the Bridge Note shall be deemed to have been paid in full. The Bridge Note has an interest rate of 12% per annum, payable in-kind by increasing the outstanding principal amount of the Bridge Note. Interest shall be deemed to have commenced on May 19, 2022. The Bridge Note may not be prepaid without AEPI’s written consent and prior to payment of all amounts owed under any Fee Deferral Agreements (as defined in the Bridge Note). The Bridge Note is subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Bridge Note) and all amounts owed under any Fee Deferral Agreements. The Bridge Note replaced a May 2022 loan on substantially the same terms in its entirety.

In connection with the entry into the Bridge Note, on July 1, 2022, AEPI and ACE entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Bridge Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which AEPI agreed, at the closing of the Tempo Business Combination, to subscribe for up to 500,000 shares of Domesticated ACE common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. The number of shares AEPI has committed to purchase will be automatically reduced in an amount equal to (a) the difference between $5,000,000 and the Bridge Note Drawn Amount, divided by (b) $10.00, rounded up to the nearest whole share. Pursuant to the Bridge Subscription Agreement, ACE agreed to issue additional shares of Domesticated ACE common stock to AEPI in the event that the Adjustment Period VWAP (as defined in the Bridge Subscription Agreement) is less than $10.00 per share. In such case, AEPI will be entitled to receive a number of shares of Domesticated ACE common stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Domesticated ACE common stock issued to AEPI at the closing of the subscription and held by AEPI on the Measurement Date (as defined in the Bridge Subscription Agreement), multiplied by (y) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is $10.00, minus the Adjustment Period VWAP (as defined in the Bridge Subscription Agreement) and (B) the denominator of which is the Adjustment Period VWAP (as defined in the Bridge Subscription Agreement).

On July 6, 2022, the Company entered into Second Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements (the “Second A&R Subscription Agreements”) with each of the PIPE Investors. Pursuant to the Second A&R Subscription Agreements, among other things, the parties agreed to reduce the minimum Adjustment Period VWAP (as defined in the Second A&R Subscription Agreements) from $6.50 to $4.00. Additionally, ACE agreed (1) to issue 2,000,000 additional shares (the “PIPE Incentive Shares”) to the PIPE Investors on a pro rata basis as an incentive to subscribe for and purchase the shares under the Second A&R Subscription Agreements, (2) that if the Adjustment Period VWAP is less than $10.00 per share, the number of additional shares each PIPE Investor will be entitled to receive shall be (i) (A) (x) the number of shares issued to such PIPE Investor at the closing of the subscription and held by such PIPE Investor on the Measurement Date (as defined in the Second A&R Subscription Agreements), times (y) $10.00, minus the Adjustment Period VWAP, minus (B) the number of PIPE Incentive Shares, times the Adjustment Period VWAP, divided by (ii) the Adjustment Period VWAP, and (3) to issue additional shares of Domesticated ACE common stock to each PIPE Investor in the event that the Additional Period VWAP (as defined below) is less than the Adjustment Period VWAP. In such case, each PIPE Investor will be entitled to receive a number of shares of Domesticated ACE common stock (such additional shares, if any, the “Additional Period Shares”) equal to the lesser of (1) such PIPE Investor’s pro rata portion of 2,000,000 shares, and (2) (i) (A) (x) the number of shares issued to such PIPE Investor pursuant to such subscription agreement and held by such PIPE Investor on the last day of the 30 calendar day period ending on the date that is 15 months following the closing of the subscriptions (such 30 calendar day period, the “Additional Period”), times (y) the Adjustment Period VWAP, minus the average of the volume weighted average price of a share of Domesticated ACE common stock determined for each of the trading days during the Additional Period (the “Additional Period VWAP”), minus (B) the number of PIPE Incentive Shares, times the Additional Period VWAP, divided by (ii) the Additional Period VWAP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Domesticated ACE consummates a strategic transaction during the 15-month period beginning on the closing date, then the measurement date for the issuance of such additional shares shall be one day prior to the closing date of such strategic transaction, and the Additional Period VWAP will be deemed to equal the price per share paid or payable to the holders of outstanding shares of Domesticated ACE common stock in connection with such strategic transaction. If such price is payable in whole or in part in the form of consideration other than cash, the value of such consideration will be (a) with respect to any securities, (i) the average of the closing prices of the sales of such securities on all securities exchanges on which such securities are then listed, averaged over a period of 30 trading days ending on the day as of which such value is being determined and the 29 consecutive days preceding such day, or (ii) if the information contemplated by the preceding clause (i) is not practically available, then the fair value of such securities as of the date of valuation as determined in accordance with the succeeding clause (b), and (b) with respect to any other non-cash assets, the fair value thereof as of the date of valuation, as determined by an independent, nationally recognized valuation firm reasonably selected by Domesticated ACE, on the basis of an orderly sale to a willing, unaffiliated buyer in an arm’s-length transaction, taking into account all factors determinative of value as the investment banking firm determines relevant (and giving effect to any transfer taxes payable in connection with such sale).

One of the PIPE Investors’ subscription agreement provides that, if such PIPE Investor is an Eligible Investor (defined as any subscriber in the offering who is not a beneficial or record owner of ACE’s equity or an affiliate of ACE prior to the Initial Closing (as defined therein)), if, after the date of such subscription agreement, such PIPE Investor acquires ownership of Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions with third parties (along with any related rights to redeem or convert such shares in connection with the redemption conducted by ACE in connection with the vote to approve the Tempo Business Combination (the “Tempo Redemption”)) at least five business days prior to ACE’s extraordinary general meeting to approve the Tempo Business Combination, and such PIPE Investor does not redeem or convert such shares in connection with the Tempo Redemption (including revoking any prior redemption or conversion elections made with respect to such shares) (such shares, “PIPE Non-Redeemed Shares”), the number of shares such PIPE Investor (only if an Eligible Investor) will be obligated to purchase under its subscription agreement shall be reduced by the number of PIPE Non-Redeemed Shares.

The proceeds of the PIPE Investment, together with the amounts remaining in ACE’s trust account as of immediately following the effective time of the Tempo Business Combination, will be retained by Domesticated ACE following the Closing.

In connection with the Tempo Business Combination and pursuant to separate agreements, Tempo was to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests in each of Whizz, a Delaware corporation, and Compass, a Delaware corporation. The agreement with Compass was terminated by Compass in July 2022, and the agreement with Whizz was mutually terminated in August 2022.

Pursuant to the SSA Amendment, the Earnout Sponsors also agreed to subject an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of Domesticated ACE common stock (the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”) received in the SSA Exchange to certain earnout vesting conditions or, should such shares fail to vest, forfeiture to ACE for no consideration. On the earlier of (i) the date which is 15 months following the closing of the Tempo Business Combination and (ii) immediately prior to the closing of a strategic transaction, the Sponsor Earnout Shares will vest in an amount equal to (A) the number of Sponsor Earnout Shares, less (B) the number of Additional Period Shares, if any, issuable in the aggregate under the Second A&R Subscription Agreements. In the event of a strategic transaction, the holders of any vested Sponsor Earnout Shares will be eligible to participate in such strategic transaction with respect to such Sponsor Earnout Shares on the same terms, and subject to the same conditions, as the other holders of shares of Domesticated ACE common stock generally.

Pursuant to the Cantor Purchase Agreement, Domesticated ACE will have the right from time to time at its option following the Closing to sell to CFPI up to $100.0 million of Domesticated ACE common stock, subject to certain customary conditions and limitations set forth in the Cantor Purchase Agreement. Sales of Domesticated ACE common stock to CFPI under the Cantor Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any sales, will be determined by Domesticated ACE from time to time in its sole discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of shares of Domesticated ACE common stock and determinations by Domesticated ACE regarding the use of proceeds of such sales.

The Merger Agreement contemplates that, at the Closing, ACE will enter into lock-up agreements with (i) the Sponsor, (ii) the other parties on Schedule I of the Sponsor Support Agreement and (iii) certain former stockholders of Tempo, restricting the transfer of Domesticated ACE common stock from and after the Closing. The restrictions under the lock-up agreements begin at the Closing and end on, among other things, the date that is 365 days after the Closing or upon the stock price of Domesticated ACE reaching $12.00 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the closing date.

As a result, $148,079,821 was paid out of the Trust Account in connection with the redemptions. In connection with the extension of the date by which the Company must complete an initial business combination in July 2022, shareholders of Class A Ordinary Shares elected to redeem an aggregate of 4,256,979 Class A Ordinary Shares. As a result, $43,349,494 was paid out of the Trust Account in connection with the redemptions.

Class B Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Class B ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. At June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, there were 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding.

Holders of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, except as required by law.

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which Class B ordinary shares shall convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, 20% of the sum of all ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the Business Combination, excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the Business Combination.

NOTE 8 — WARRANTS

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had 11,500,000 Public Warrants outstanding. Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination and (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five years from 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 Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating thereto is available, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available, including in connection with a cashless exercise. No Public Warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their Public Warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of a Business Combination, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the issuance, under the Securities Act, of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of the Business Combination and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Public Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if the

Class A ordinary shares are, at the time of any exercise of a Public 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 Public 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, but will use its commercially reasonable efforts to qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:

● in whole and not in part;

● at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant;

● upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and

● if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A ordinary shares for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like).

If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, as described above, its management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as it may be extended) and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Public Warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Public Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Public Warrants. Accordingly, the Public Warrants may expire worthless.

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 a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per Class A ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the 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 a Business Combination on the date of the consummation of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of its Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its 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, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had 6,600,000 Private Placement Warrants outstanding. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units 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 a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable, except as described above, 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.

NOTE 9 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

At June 30, 2022, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $83,421,902 in cash. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company did not withdraw any interest income from the Trust Account. At December 31, 2021, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $598 in cash and $230,157,661 in money market funds.

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

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

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

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

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

	Markets	June 30,		December 31,
Description	(level)	2022		2021
Assets:
Cash and Marketable Securities held in Trust Account	1	$	83,421,902	$	230,158,259
Liabilities:
Warrant Liability – Public Warrants	1	$	920,000	$	7,820,000
Warrant Liability – Private Placement	3	$	528,000	$	4,946,082

The Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

At June 30, 2022, the Company valued the Private Placement Warrants using the value of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants are priced using the active observable market quote. At June 30, 2022, the primary difference between the Private Placement Warrants and the Public Warrants of ACE is a redemption feature that caps the upside of the Public Warrants at $18.00 per share. As it is unlikely the value of the underlying security will exceed this threshold, it was determined that it would be reasonable to use the closing price of the Public Warrants as the value of the Private Placement Warrants as of the measurement date of June 30, 2022.

At December 31, 2021, and previous reporting periods, the Private Placement Warrants were valued using a Modified Black Scholes Option Pricing Model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The Public Warrants were initially classified as Level 3 due to the use of unobservable inputs. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the warrants from the Units, the close price of the Public Warrant price was used as the fair value as of each relevant date. The measurement of the Public Warrants is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market.

The key inputs in the modified Black Scholes model for the Private Placement Warrants were as follows at December 31, 2021:

	December 31,
Input:	2021
Risk-free interest rate		1.26	%
Expected term (years)		5.28
Expected volatility		18.8	%
Exercise price	$	11.50
Stock Price	$	9.96

The following tables present the changes in the fair value of Level 3 warrant liabilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

	Private
	Placement		Public
Fair value as of January 1, 2022		4,946,082	—

On August 12, 2022, ACE, Merger Sub and Tempo entered into the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, to (i) reduce the Base Purchase Price from $488,375,000 to $235,000,000, (ii) reduce the number of Tempo Earnout Shares from 10,000,000 to 7,000,000, which will vest in two equal tranches of 3,500,000 shares based on Domesticated ACE reaching $5.0 million in Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and $15.0 million in revenue in any quarter during the five-year period following the closing date, (iii) remove terms relating to the proposed acquisitions by Tempo of each of Whizz and Compass, (iv) reduce the minimum cash condition from $320.0 million to $10.0 million and (v) extend the outside date of the Merger Agreement to December 13, 2022. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, all outstanding shares of Tempo common stock (after giving effect to the Company Preferred Conversion (as defined in the Merger Agreement)) as of immediately prior to the closing, and, together with shares of Tempo common stock reserved in respect of Tempo options as of immediately prior to the closing that will be converted into awards based on Domesticated ACE common stock, will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, or the reservation of (in the case of Tempo options, if and to the extent earned and subject to their respective terms), an aggregate of approximately 23,500,000 shares of Domesticated ACE common stock (at a deemed value of $10.00 per share) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Base Purchase Price by (ii) $10.00, including, as applicable, a number of Tempo Earnout Shares.

On July 1, 2022, ACE, Tempo and AEPI entered into the Bridge Note, pursuant to which AEPI agreed to loan to Tempo up to an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000, $2,500,000 of which was advanced to Tempo prior to the date of the Bridge Note. Upon the closing of the Tempo Business Combination, the Bridge Note Drawn Amount will automatically convert in full into the Bridge Note Conversion Shares, and the Bridge Note shall be deemed to have been paid in full. The Bridge Note has an interest rate of 12% per annum, payable in-kind by increasing the outstanding principal amount of the Bridge Note. Interest shall be deemed to have commenced on May 19, 2022. The Bridge Note may not be prepaid without AEPI’s written consent and prior to payment of all amounts owed under any Fee Deferral Agreements. The Bridge Note is subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness and all amounts owed under any Fee Deferral Agreements.

In connection with the entry into the Bridge Note, on July 1, 2022, AEPI and ACE entered into the Bridge Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which AEPI agreed, at the closing of the Tempo Business Combination, to subscribe for up to 500,000 shares of Domesticated ACE common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. The number of shares AEPI has committed to purchase will be automatically reduced in an amount equal to (a) the difference between $5,000,000 and the Bridge Note Drawn Amount, divided by (b) $10.00, rounded up to the nearest whole share. Pursuant to the Bridge Subscription Agreement, ACE agreed to issue additional shares of Domesticated ACE common stock to AEPI in the event that the Adjustment Period VWAP (as defined in the Bridge Subscription Agreement) is less than $10.00 per share. In such case, AEPI will be entitled to receive a number of shares of Domesticated ACE common stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Domesticated ACE common stock issued to AEPI at the closing of the subscription and held by AEPI on the Measurement Date, multiplied by (y) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is $10.00, minus the Adjustment Period VWAP (as defined in the Bridge Subscription Agreement) and (B) the denominator of which is the Adjustment Period VWAP (as defined in the Bridge Subscription Agreement). In the event that the Adjustment Period VWAP (as defined in the Bridge Subscription Agreement) is less than $4.00, the Adjustment Period VWAP (as defined in the Bridge Subscription Agreement) shall be deemed to be $4.00.

On July 6, 2022, the Company entered into the Second A&R Subscription Agreements with each of the PIPE Investors. Pursuant to the Second A&R Subscription Agreements, among other things, the parties agreed to reduce the minimum Adjustment Period VWAP (as defined in the Second A&R Subscription Agreements) from $6.50 to $4.00. Additionally, the Company agreed (1) to issue 2,000,000 PIPE Incentive Shares to the PIPE Investors on a pro rata basis as an incentive to subscribe for and purchase the shares under the Second A&R Subscription Agreements, (2) that if the Adjustment Period VWAP is less than $10.00 per share, the number of additional shares each PIPE Investor will be entitled to receive shall be (i) (A) (x) the number of shares issued to such PIPE Investor at the closing of the subscription and held by such PIPE Investor on the Measurement Date (as defined in the Second A&R Subscription Agreements), times (y) $10.00, minus the Adjustment Period VWAP, minus (B) the number of PIPE Incentive Shares, times the Adjustment Period VWAP, divided by (ii) the Adjustment Period VWAP, and (3) to issue additional shares of Domesticated

ACE common stock to each PIPE Investor in the event that the Additional Period VWAP (as defined below) is less than the Adjustment Period VWAP. In such case, each PIPE Investor will be entitled to receive a number of shares of Domesticated ACE common stock equal to the lesser of (1) such PIPE Investor’s pro rata portion of 2,000,000 shares, and (2) (i) (A) (x) the number of shares issued to such PIPE Investor pursuant to such subscription agreement and held by such PIPE Investor on the last day of the Additional Period, times (y) the Adjustment Period VWAP, minus the Additional Period VWAP, minus (B) the number of PIPE Incentive Shares, times the Additional Period VWAP, divided by (ii) the Additional Period VWAP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Domesticated ACE consummates a strategic transaction during the 15-month period beginning on the closing date, then the measurement date for the issuance of such additional shares shall be one day prior to the closing date of such strategic transaction, and the Additional Period VWAP will be deemed to equal the price per share paid or payable to the holders of outstanding shares of Domesticated ACE common stock in connection with such strategic transaction. If such price is payable in whole or in part in the form of consideration other than cash, the value of such consideration will be (a) with respect to any securities, (i) the average of the closing prices of the sales of such securities on all securities exchanges on which such securities are then listed, averaged over a period of 30 trading days ending on the day as of which such value is being determined and the 29 consecutive days preceding such day, or (ii) if the information contemplated by the preceding clause (i) is not practically available, then the fair value of such securities as of the date of valuation as determined in accordance with the succeeding clause (b), and (b) with respect to any other non-cash assets, the fair value thereof as of the date of valuation, as determined by an independent, nationally recognized valuation firm reasonably selected by Domesticated ACE, on the basis of an orderly sale to a willing, unaffiliated buyer in an arm’s-length transaction, taking into account all factors determinative of value as the investment banking firm determines relevant (and giving effect to any transfer taxes payable in connection with such sale).

One of the PIPE Investors’ subscription agreement provides that, if such PIPE Investor is an Eligible Investor (defined as any subscriber in the offering who is not a beneficial or record owner of ACE’s equity or an affiliate of ACE prior to the Initial Closing (as defined therein)), if, after the date of such subscription agreement, such PIPE Investor acquires ownership of Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions with third parties (along with any related rights to redeem or convert such shares in connection with the redemption conducted by ACE in connection with the vote to approve the Tempo Business Combination (the “Tempo Redemption”)) at least five business days prior to ACE’s extraordinary general meeting to approve the Tempo Business Combination, and such PIPE Investor does not redeem or convert such shares in connection with the Tempo Redemption (including revoking any prior redemption or conversion elections made with respect to such shares) (such shares, “PIPE Non-Redeemed Shares”), the number of shares such PIPE Investor (only if an Eligible Investor) will be obligated to purchase under its subscription agreement shall be reduced by the number of PIPE Non-Redeemed Shares.

On July 6, 2022, the parties to the Original Sponsor Support Agreement entered into the SSA Amendment, pursuant to which, among other things, the Earnout Sponsors agreed, immediately prior to the Domestication, to contribute, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to the Company an aggregate of 5,595,000 founder shares in exchange for an aggregate of 3,595,000 Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company. Pursuant to the SSA Amendment, the Earnout Sponsors also agreed to subject an aggregate of 2,000,000 Sponsor Earnout Shares received in the SSA Exchange to certain earnout vesting conditions or, should such shares fail to vest, forfeiture to the Company for no consideration. On the earlier of (i) the date which is 15 months following the closing of the Tempo Business Combination and (ii) immediately prior to the closing of a strategic transaction, the Sponsor Earnout Shares will vest in an amount equal to (A) the number of Sponsor Earnout Shares, less (B) the number of Additional Period Shares, if any, issuable in the aggregate under the Second A&R Subscription Agreements. In the event of a strategic transaction, the holders of any vested Sponsor Earnout Shares will be eligible to participate in such strategic transaction with respect to such Sponsor Earnout Shares on the same terms, and subject to the same conditions, as the other holders of shares of Domesticated ACE common stock generally.

On August 12, 2022, the parties to the SSA Amendment entered into the Second SSA Amendment, pursuant to which the SSA Exchange was amended such that the Earnout Sponsors agreed, immediately prior to the Domestication, to contribute, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to ACE an aggregate of 5,595,000 founder shares in exchange for an aggregate of 3,095,000 Class A Ordinary Shares. Pursuant to the Second SSA Amendment, the Earnout Sponsors also agreed to reduce the number of Sponsor Earnout Shares to 500,000. On the earlier of (i) the date which is fifteen (15) months following the closing of the Tempo Business Combination and (ii) immediately prior to the closing of a strategic transaction, the Sponsor Earnout Shares will vest in an amount equal to (A) the number of Sponsor Earnout Shares, less (B) the number of Additional Period Shares (as defined therein), if any, issuable in the aggregate under the Third Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements into which ACE anticipates entering prior to the closing of the Tempo Business Combination. In the event of a strategic transaction, the holders of any vested Sponsor Earnout Shares will be

eligible to participate in such strategic transaction with respect to such Sponsor Earnout Shares on the same terms, and subject to the same conditions, as the other holders of shares of Domesticated ACE common stock generally.

On July 12, 2022, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting to amend the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which the Company must (1) consummate a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, (2) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such initial business combination, and (3) redeem all of the Class A Ordinary Shares included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering from July 13, 2022, to October 13, 2022. In connection with such extension, a total of 813 shareholders elected to redeem an aggregate of 4,256,979 Class A Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 51.90% of the issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares. As a result, approximately $43,349,494 was paid out of the Trust Account in connection with the redemptions.

On July 30, 2022, OCM delivered notice to ACE and Tempo of termination of the Subscription Agreement, effective immediately, which termination automatically terminated the side letters entered into by ACE and Tempo with each of OCM and Tor. As a result of such termination, if ACE consummates an initial business combination with or among Tempo, Compass, Whizz or any of their respective affiliates or subsidiaries, OCM will be entitled to a termination fee of 3.5% of the aggregate principal amount of the subscribed notes (approximately $7.0 million), to be paid by ACE immediately following and as a condition subsequent to the closing of such initial business combination.

San Francisco, California

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Tempo Automation, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related statements of operations, convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern Uncertainty

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

Liquidity and Going Concern

The Company has experienced negative cash flows from operations since inception and expects negative cash flows from operations to continue for the foreseeable future. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $108.3 million and cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $3.2 million as of December 31, 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company used net cash of $30.2 million in operating activities and incurred a net loss of $48.0 million. Additionally, as of the date these financial statements were available for issuance the Company has $37.0 million of loans payable and finance lease obligations coming due within the next 12 months. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

In October 2021, Tempo entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Loan and Security Agreement”) with a maximum borrowing capacity of $150.0 million consisting of four tranches. This agreement replaced Tempo’s existing SQN Venture Income Fund II, LP (the “June 2021 Credit Facility”) $20.0 million facility and $20.0 million was drawn on tranche 1 of the Loan and Security Agreement. Borrowing capacity for tranche 2, tranche 3 and tranche 4 is $20.0 million, $40.0 million, and $70.0 million, respectively which shall be available to draw by the Company upon sooner of the de-SPAC with ACE or closing of the acquisition with Whizz. The tranches have an earliest expiration date of December 23, 2022 (see Note 10).

In January 2022, the Company entered into first amendment to loan and security agreement to convert $10.0 million of availability under the tranche 2 loan to the tranche 1 loan. This amendment expanded the tranche 1 from $20.0 million to $30.0

F-56

TEMPO AUTOMATION, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

million and reduced the tranche 2 loan from $20.0 million to $10.0 million. The first amendment did not change the interest rates or maturity dates for tranche 1 (see Note 18).

In January 2022, the Company and ACE Convergence Acquisition secured principal amount of $200.0 million from the issuance of 15.5% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2025. The principal amount of notes consists of a $175.0 million investment from funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management and $25.0 million from an investment partner of ACE. The issuance of the notes is contingent on and is expected to fund the proposed business combination of the Company and ACE (see Note 18).

In January 2022, the Company issued a convertible promissory notes to existing investors for gross proceeds of $5.0 million. These shall be due and payable by the Company on demand by at any time after November 15, 2022 (see Note 18).

In order to fund planned operations while meeting obligations as they come due, the Company will need to secure additional debt or equity financing. These plans for additional financings are intended to mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, however as the plans are outside of Management’s control, the Company cannot ensure they will be effectively implemented. As a result, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Failure to secure additional funding may require the Company to modify, delay, or abandon some of its planned future expansion or development, or to otherwise enact operating cost reductions available to management, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition, and ability to achieve its intended business objectives.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Those estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition and deferred revenue; allowance for doubtful accounts; determination of fair value of our common stock; determination of fair value of our warrants; accounting for income taxes, including the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and reserves for uncertain tax positions; accrued liabilities; and the recognition and measurement of contingent liabilities. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjust those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates, and those differences could be material to the financial statements.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to a number of risks. The Company conducts business in a dynamic high technology industry and believes that changes in any of the following areas could have a material adverse effect on its future financial position, results of operations, or cash flows: advances and trends in new technologies and industry standards; pressures resulting from new applications offered by competitors; delays in applications and functionality development; changes in certain strategic relationships or customer relationships; the Company’s ability to attract new customers or retain existing customers; the length of the Company’s sales cycles and expense related to sales efforts; litigation or claims against the Company based on intellectual property, patent, product, regulatory, or other factors; changes in domestic and international economic or political conditions or regulations; the ability of the Company to finance its operations; and the Company’s ability to attract and retain employees necessary to support its growth. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted supply chains, constrained work force participation, and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. As the scope and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown and the extent of its economic impact continues to evolve globally, there is uncertainty related to the ultimate impact it will have on the Company’s business, its employees, results of operations and financial condition.

COVID-19 Impact

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared that the worldwide spread and severity of a new coronavirus, referred to as COVID-19, was severe enough to be characterized as a pandemic. In response to the continued spread of COVID-19,

F-57

TEMPO AUTOMATION, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

governmental authorities around the world have imposed various restrictions designed to slow the pace of the pandemic, including restrictions on travel and other restrictions that prohibit employees from going to work causing severe disruptions in the worldwide economy. The COVID-19 pandemic has had and may continue to have an adverse impact on our employees, operations, supply chain and distribution system. In response to the economic challenges and uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business, we asked our employees who were able to do so to work remotely. In addition, in April 2020, we announced reductions in workforce. These decisions, as well as COVID-19 more generally, introduced new dynamics into the households of many of our employees. The full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operational and financial performance is currently uncertain and will depend on many factors outside the Company’s control, including, without limitation, the timing, extent, trajectory and duration of the pandemic, the development and availability of effective treatments and vaccines, the imposition of protective public safety measures, and the impact of the pandemic on the global economy and demand for its services. If the Company’s suppliers experience additional closures or reductions in their capacity utilization levels in the future, the Company may have difficulty sourcing materials necessary to fulfill production requirement. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Tempo has experienced some supply chain constraints, including with respect to semiconductor components. COVID-19 has also impacted the Company’s customers and may create unpredictable reductions or increases in demand for Tempo’s manufacturing services. Management will continue to monitor the impact of the global situation on the Company’s financial condition, cash flows, operations, industry, workforce, and customer relationships.

Reclassification

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company previously presented the financial statement line item titled “Proceeds from issuance of debt” on net basis, with the gross proceeds of debt, net of cost of issuance for such debt raised. In order to conform to current year presentation the Company has disaggregated into two separate financial statement line items “Proceeds from issuance of debt” and “Payment of debt issuance costs” in the Company’s statements of cash flows.This change in presentation had no impact on the Company’s “Net cash provided by financing activities”, “Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash”, or “Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at end of period”.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company manufactures electronics for prototyping and low volume production of Printed Circuit Board (“PCB”) assemblies and provides PCB assembly services for engineers with urgent, high — complexity projects. The Company owns the whole entire process from components and fabrication sourcing to assembly. To achieve the core principles of ASC 606, the Company accounts for revenue contracts with customers through the following steps:

1) Identify the contract with a customer:

A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the products and services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these products and services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance, and (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for products and services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company enters into a purchase order with each customer and ensures the purchase order is executed by all parties. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 60 days of the date when the performance obligation is satisfied and include no general rights of return.

2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract:

Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the products and services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the products and services either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the products and services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. The Company’s contracts consist of a single performance obligation of completed PCB assembly.

As part of the term and conditions of the customer contract, the Company generally offers a warranty for a period of one year. This type of warranty provides the customers with assurance that the related assembled product will function as intended and complies

F-58

TEMPO AUTOMATION, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

with any agreed upon specifications. Therefore, as the warranty cannot be purchased separately and only provides assurance that the product complies with agreed-upon specifications, the warranty is not considered a separate performance obligation.

3) Determine the transaction price:

The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring products and services to the customer. The transaction price consists of fixed consideration as noted in each purchase order. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined that contracts do not include a significant financing component. The Company elected a practical expedient available under ASC 606, which permits the Company to not adjust the amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if, at contract inception, the expected period between the transfer of promised goods or services and customer payment is one year or less.

4) Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract:

If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Each purchase order contains only one performance obligation and hence, the contract price per the purchase order is deemed to be reflective of the standalone selling price and the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. All manufactured products are highly customized, and therefore, priced independently.

5) Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation:

For each performance obligation identified, the Company determines at contract inception whether the performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time. The transfer of control for the Company’s products qualify for over time revenue recognition because the products represent assets with no alternative use and the contracts include an enforceable right to payment for work completed to date. The Company has selected a cost incurred input method of measuring progress to recognize revenue over time, based on the status of work performed. The cost input method is representative of the value provided to the customer as it represents the Company’s performance completed to date. The Company typically satisfies its performance obligations in one month or less. The Company has elected to treat shipping and handling activities as fulfillment costs and the Company elected to record revenue net of sales and other similar taxes.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections can result in deferred revenue (contract liabilities), unbilled receivables (contract assets), and billed accounts receivable.

a. Contract Liabilities

A contract liability results when payments from customers are received in advance for assembly and manufacturing of the goods. The Company recognizes contract liabilities as revenues upon satisfaction of the underlying performance obligations. Deferred revenue that is expected to be recognized as revenue during the subsequent twelve-month period from the date of billing is recorded in contract liabilities and the remaining portion, if any, is recorded in contract liabilities, noncurrent on the accompanying balance sheets at the end of each reporting period. For years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized as revenue $0.1 million and $0.5 million that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the related periods, respectively.

b. Contract Assets

Billings scheduled to occur after the performance obligation has been satisfied and revenue recognition has occurred result in contract assets. Unbilled receivables that are expected to be billed during the subsequent twelve-month period from the date of revenue recognition are recorded in contract assets, and the remaining portion, if any, is recorded in other noncurrent assets on the accompanying balance sheets at the end of each reporting period.

Unbilled receivables represent amounts for which the Company has recognized revenue, pursuant to its revenue recognition policy, for services already performed, but billed in arrears and for which the Company believes it has an unconditional right to payment.

Accounts receivable, net	$	2,918	$	2,713
Contract assets		1,219		608
Contract liabilities		175		80

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue primarily include direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead incurred for revenue-producing units shipped. Cost of revenue also includes associated warranty costs, shipping and handling, and other miscellaneous costs.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of personnel and related costs for product development activities. Research and development costs also include professional fees payable to third parties, license and subscription fees for development tools, and manufacturing-related costs associated with product development.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. These amounts are included in selling and marketing expense in the accompanying statements of operations. Advertising costs were $0.5 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Concentration of Risks

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are on deposit with major financial institutions. Such deposits may be in excess of insured limits. The Company believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s cash are financially sound, and accordingly, minimum credit risk exists with respect to these balances. The Company has not experienced any losses due to institutional failure or bankruptcy. The Company performs credit analyses and monitors the financial health of its customers to reduce credit risk. The Company reviews accounts receivable balances to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible and includes any amounts that are determined to be uncollectible in the allowance for doubtful accounts. As of December 31, 2021, there was one customer who had outstanding balance accounting for 49% of the total accounts receivable balance. As of December 31, 2020, there was one customer who had outstanding balances accounting for 64% of the total accounts receivable balance.

Concentration of customers

For the year ended December 31, 2021, one customer represented 46% of revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2020, one customer represented 42% of revenue.

Segment Reporting and Geographic Information

For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company was managed as a single operating segment in accordance with the provisions in the FASB guidance on segment reporting, which establishes standards for, and requires disclosure of, certain financial information related to reportable operating segments and geographic regions. Furthermore, the Company determined that the Chief Executive Officer is the Chief Operating Decision Maker as she is responsible for making decisions regarding the allocation of resources and assessing performance as well as for strategic operational decisions and managing the organization as a whole. All of the Company’s revenues are domestic sales and fixed assets are physically located in the United States.

TEMPO AUTOMATION, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid securities that mature within three months or less from the original date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances with commercial banks in interest bearing accounts. Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in checking and savings accounts and highly liquid securities with original maturity dates of three months or less from the original date of purchase.

The restricted cash balance as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 represents $0.3 million and $0.4 million related to a letter of credit for the Company’s office space lease.

	As of December 31,
	2021		2020
Cash and cash equivalents	$	2,864	$	17,340
Restricted cash		320		406
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown in the statement of cash flows	$	3,184	$	17,746

Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts receivable, net is recorded at the invoiced amount, net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is based upon historical losses and an evaluation of the potential risk of loss associated with delinquent accounts. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated probable losses at each period end. Accounts receivable deemed uncollectable are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts when identified. The Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.4 million and $0.2 million and as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory consists of raw materials and work-in-progress representing the components that the Company produces. The Company uses actual cost to value inventory. In general, the Company procures materials from suppliers when a purchase order is received from its customers. The Company identifies these procured materials as raw material if work on the purchase order has not commenced and for any work that has been started on the materials procured are identified as work-in-progress.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

● Level 1: Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.

● Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, in active markets or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated with market data at the measurement date.

● Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The Company applies fair value accounting to all financial assets and liabilities, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. The Company has determined the carrying value of these assets and liabilities to be equal to the fair value due to their short maturities and has classified these assets and liabilities as Level 1 financial instruments.

Certain convertible preferred stock and common stock warrants are liability classified and are classified as Level 3 financial instruments. The fair value of the convertible preferred stock and common stock warrants which are liability classified is $5.6 million as of December 31, 2021, and $0.1 million as of December 31, 2020, and is included in other noncurrent liabilities on the

accompanying balance sheets (see Note 13). During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy of its assets or liabilities measured at fair value.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment, net are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in the current period. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the assets (in years):

	Useful Lives
Computer equipment	3
Software	5
Furniture and fixtures	3
Leasehold improvements	Shorter of useful life or remaining lease term
Manufacturing equipment	10

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset-and-liability method for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and are measured using the enacted tax rates that are expected to be in effect when the differences reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that, in the opinion of management, is more likely than not to be realized.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions based on an evaluation as to whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. This evaluation is based on all available evidence and assumes that the appropriate tax authorities have full knowledge of all relevant information concerning the tax position. The tax benefit recognized is based on the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company includes interest expense and penalties related to its uncertain tax positions in interest expense and other expense, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Equity-classified awards issued to employees, non-employees, and directors are measured at the grant-date fair value of the award. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. For accounting purposes, the Company estimates grant-date fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option pricing model. The BSM option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the underlying common stock, the risk-free interest rates, the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the price of the Company’s common stock, and the expected dividend yield of the Company’s common stock.

Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company’s shares of preferred stock are assessed at issuance for classification and redemption features requiring bifurcation. The Company’s preferred stock is not mandatorily redeemable. The Company presents as temporary equity any stock that (i) the Company undertakes to redeem at a fixed or determinable price on the fixed or determinable date or dates, (ii) is redeemable at the option of the holders, or (iii) has conditions for redemption which are not solely within the control of the Company. The Company initially records redeemable convertible preferred stock at fair value, net of issuance costs. Because the occurrence of a deemed liquidation event is not currently probable, the carrying values of the shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock are not being accreted to their redemption values. Subsequent adjustments to the carrying values of the shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock would be made only when a deemed liquidation event becomes probable.

Deferred Transaction Costs

Deferred transaction costs consist of direct incremental legal, consulting, and accounting fees relating to the merger transaction, as discussed in Note 1 — Organization, which are capitalized and will be recorded as a reduction to the issuance of equity arising from the consummation of the merger transaction. In the event the merger transaction is terminated, deferred transaction costs will be expensed. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has deferred such costs amounting to $1.9 million, which are included in other noncurrent assets in the balance sheet, no such costs were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. The Company considers all series of its preferred stock to be participating securities. Net loss is attributed to common stockholders and participating securities based on their participation rights. Net loss attributable to common stockholders is not allocated to the preferred stock as the holders of the preferred stock do not have a contractual obligation to share in any losses.

Under the two-class method, basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders adjusts basic earnings per share for the potentially dilutive impact of preferred stock, stock options, preferred and common stock warrants and convertible notes. As the Company has reported losses for all periods presented, all potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive and accordingly, basic net loss per share equals diluted net loss per share.

Related Parties

As discussed in Note 1 — Organization, in October, 2021, ACE entered into a Merger Agreement with ACE Convergence Subsidiary Corp. and a direct wholly owned Merger Sub, and Tempo. The chief financial officer of Tempo is also a director of ACE and is considered an interested related party to the business combination. Additionally, in October, 2021, Tempo entered into plan of merger with Compass AC Holdings, Inc. From the date of signing of the Compass AC Agreement through December 31, 2021, the Company purchased goods totaling $0.3 million, which are included in cost of revenue in the statement of operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 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): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU 2020-06 also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The Company early adopted the ASU on January 1, 2021. Adoption of the ASU 2020-06 did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize leases on their balance sheets and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The standard is effective for small reporting companies and private companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. In July 2018, the FASB approved an amendment to the new guidance that allows companies the option of using the effective date of the new standard as the initial application (at the beginning of the period in which it is adopted, rather than at the beginning of the earliest comparative period) and to recognize the effects of applying the new ASU as a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance sheet or retained earnings. The Company early adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach and, upon adoption, recorded a short-term lease liability of $0.8 million and long-term lease liability of $2.5 million, and a right-to-use asset of $2.7 million, and made no adjustment to the accumulated deficit. In connection with the adoption of the lease standard, the Company also derecognized deferred rent of $0.6 million. The adoption of Topic 842 did not have an impact on the statement of operations. The Company elected the practical expedients permitted under Topic 842, which among other things, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease

classification of those leases in place as of January 1, 2020. The Company elected to not separate lease components and non-lease components for its long-term real-estate leases.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” or ASU 2016-13. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 introduce an approach based on expected losses to estimated credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, modify the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and provide for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. The new standard requires financial assets measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The standard will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023, with early application permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-08, “Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers”, which requires accounting for contract assets and liabilities from contracts with customers in a business combination to be accounted for in accordance with ASC 606. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its financial statements.

(10)Borrowing Arrangements

Term Loan and Credit Facility with Financial Institution

In June 2020, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with a financial institution where the Company drew down $4.0 million (the “Term Loan”) and secured up to $4.0 million in a revolving line of credit (the “Credit Facility”). During 2020, the Company drew down $1.6 million from the Credit Facility and repaid amount back in full. As of December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any outstanding balance from the Credit Facility and subsequently, no other advances were drawn by the Company before it expired on June 3, 2021.

In conjunction with the issuance of the Term Loan, the Company issued the lender a warrant to purchase 182,500 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company allocated the $4.0 million proceeds between the Term Loan and the common stock warrant on a relative fair value basis, recording $0.1 million for the common stock warrant in additional paid-in capital, with the offset to debt discount, on the balance sheets. The common stock warrant is not remeasured in future periods as it meets the conditions for equity classification. For further details on the warrants issued in conjunction with the term loans discussed, see Note 13.

On June 23, 2021, the Company entered into an amended and restated loan and security agreement with the financial institution which expanded the Term Loan obligation from $4.0 million to $10.0 million, with the maturity date extended to September 1, 2022 and a loan commitment fee of $50 thousand. For the Term Loan the Company is required to make monthly interest only payments from January 2021 through December 2021, thereafter certain monthly principal plus interest payments for a period of 8 months beginning from January 2022 and a final payment of the balance principal and interest outstanding under the agreement in September 2022. The amended and restated term loan debt bears interest at the greater of (a) Wall Street Journal Prime plus 5.00%, floating or (b) 8.25% per annum.

In addition, the Company issued 109,080 warrants to the lender which are exercisable to purchase the Company’s common stock at $1.51. For further details on the warrants issued in conjunction with the term loan, see Note 13.

On October 14, 2021, the Company paid $10.3 million to settle the credit facility under the amended and restated loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank including $0.3 million of interest and final payment reflected in interest expense section in the statement of operations.

Equipment Loan and Security Agreement

On January 29, 2021, the Company entered into an equipment loan and security agreement with SQN Venture Income Fund II, LP. The overall loan facility provides for a maximum borrowing capacity of $6.0 million consisting of two tranches, each tranche with a borrowing capacity up to $3.0 million.

On January 29, 2021, the Company drew down $3.0 million under the first tranche of the facility. The Company is required to make monthly payments for a period of 42 months on this tranche plus end of term payment fee of $0.2 million which is accreted to interest expense over the term of the agreement. The loan has a maturity date of July 2024. An additional $3.0 million can be drawn by the Company, provided that certain criteria are met, such as the Company not having defaulted on the first tranche and there having not been a material adverse change (as defined in the Loan Agreement) as of the date for the borrowing request. The loan facility is used for financing certain equipment purchases. The equipment financed through the loans serves as collateral for the loan.

The loan bears a cash interest of 8.95% per annum. Interest is payable on the first day of the month. If the loan is in default, it shall bear interest at a rate of an additional 5% per annum. The loan interest expense and discount amortization interest for year ended December 31, 2021 were $0.2 million and $46 thousand, respectively.

In conjunction with entering into the equipment loan and security agreement, the Company entered into a warrant agreement with the lender and issued 108,000 warrants exercisable for the Company’s Series C preferred stock at $0.94. For further details on the warrants in conjunction with the equipment loan and security agreement, see Note 13.

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

In May 2020, the Company was granted a loan under the Paycheck Protection Program offered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), section 7(a)(36) of the Small Business Act for $2.5 million. The loan is evidenced by a promissory note and bears interest at 1% with no principal payments for the first 6 months. Monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $0.1 million begin in December 2020, subject to deferral as the Company has applied for debt forgiveness, and continue through maturity in May 2022, if required. The loan is subject to partial or full forgiveness if the Company uses all proceeds for eligible purposes; maintains certain employment levels; and maintains certain compensation levels in accordance with and subject to the CARES Act and the rules, regulations, and guidance. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, interest expense recognized on the PPP loan was immaterial.

The Company applied for forgiveness of the PPP loan and was notified that the entire $2.5 million PPP loan was forgiven in August 2021. Loan forgiveness of $2.5 million is reflected in other income and expense section in the statement of operations. Even though the PPP loan was forgiven, it remains subject to audit by the SBA.

June 2021 Credit Facility

On June 23, 2021, the Company entered into the June 2021 Credit Facility with SQN Venture Income Fund II, LP. The June 2021 Credit Facility provides for a maximum borrowing capacity of $20.0 million consisting of two tranches, each tranche with a borrowing capacity of $10.0 million.

On June 23, 2021, the Company drew down $10.0 million of the facility. The Company is required to make monthly interest-only payments for a period of 18 months and thereafter, principal and interest outstanding under the agreement with a maturity date of December 2022. On August 13, 2021, the Company drew down the remaining $10.0 million. The second tranche has a maturity date of February 2023. The June 2021 Credit Facility is used for general working capital purposes. This loan bears a cash interest of 10% per annum. Interest is payable on the first day of the month. Additionally, this loan bears a Paid-in-Kind (PIK) interest of 2% per annum with PIK interest capitalized, compounded, and added to the principal balance monthly in arrears. The PIK interest becomes payable upon maturity. If the term loan is in default, it shall bear interest at an additional 5%. The Company paid a nonrefundable facility fee of $0.2 million.

In conjunction with entering into the June 2021 Credit Facility, the Company entered into a warrant agreement with the lender and issued 533,333 warrants exercisable for the Company’s common stock at $1.51. For further details on the warrants issued in conjunction with the June 2021 Credit Facility, see Note 13.

Loan and Security Agreement

On October 13, 2021, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Structural Capital Investments III, LP, Series Structural DCO II, a series of Structural Capital DCO, LLC, SQN Tempo Automation, LLC, SQN Venture Income Fund II, LP, and Ocean II PLO LLC. The Loan and Security Agreement replaced the June 2021 Credit Facility, providing for maximum borrowing capacity of $150.0 million consisting of four tranches. Per the Loan and Security Agreement, borrowings of $20.0 million from tranches 1 and 2 from the June 2021 Credit Facility were replaced by a new tranche 1 in the amount of $20.0 million. Borrowing capacity for tranche 2, tranche 3 and tranche 4 of the Loan and Security Agreement is $20.0 million, $40.0 million, and $70.0 million, respectively, which shall be available to draw by the Company upon sooner of the de-SPAC with ACE or closing of the acquisition with Whizz. The loans have an earliest expiration date of December 23, 2022.

The termination of the June 2021 Credit Facility and subsequent borrowings under tranche 1 of the Loan and Security Agreement was accounted for as a partial extinguishment of debt. Specifically, upon entering into the Loan and Security Agreement, the Company became indebted to a new lender in the amount of $6.0 million, while $14.0 million of obligations are due to the same lender group party to the June 2021 Credit Facility. The $6.0 million was reflected as a debt repayment with the old lender and was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt. Accordingly, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of $0.3 million related to the write off of unamortized debt discount. The extinguishment of $6.0 million with the old lender and subsequent borrowings of $6.0 million from the new lender did not involve the receipt or constructive receipt of cash and accordingly has been reflected as noncash financing activities in the statement of cash flows during the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company also evaluated the $14.0 million of debt outstanding with continuing lenders and concluded the transaction should be treated as a modification of debt.

(1)  These shares were issued through a conversion of the $5.0 million convertible note in April 2019.

Significant rights and preferences of the outstanding preferred stock are as follows:

Conversion — All of the preferred stock instruments are convertible at the option of the holder at any time, or immediately upon the closing of a firm-commitment underwritten public offering in which the gross cash proceeds to the Company are at least $50.0 million. Given that the conversion price is fixed, the Company would issue a fixed number of shares of common stock to settle the preferred stock, unless a down round of common stock is issued, in which case the conversion price would be adjusted to maintain the value of preferred stock converted to common stock.

The conversion price shall mean $1.15 per share for each share of the Series A preferred stock, $0.33 per share for each share of the Series A-l preferred stock, $0.49 per share for each share of the Series A-2 preferred stock, $2.76 per share for each share of the Series B preferred stock, $3.75 per share for each share of the Series C preferred stock, $3.37 per share for each share of the Series C-l preferred stock, and $4.85 per share for each share of the Series C-2 preferred stock.

Redemption — The preferred stock does not contain any mandatory redemption features.; however, they may be redeemed upon an event, including liquidation, sale, or transfer of the Company, that is not solely within the control of the Company as the preferred stockholders control the Board. As such, the convertible preferred stock is classified as mezzanine equity in the accompanying financial statements.

Dividends — Dividends will not be paid unless declared by the Board. For any other dividends or similar distributions, preferred stock participates with Common Stock on an as-converted basis.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Liquidation Preference — In the event of a liquidation event, holders of all other series of preferred stock are entitled to receive on a pari passu basis, in preference to the holders of the common stock, a per share amount equal to the greater of their stated liquidation preference plus any declared but unpaid dividends, or the amount such holders would have received had they converted their preferred stock into common stock immediately prior to such event. Any remaining assets shall be distributed among the holders of common stock pro rata, based on the number of shares of common stock held by each.

Voting — The holder of each share of preferred stock shall have the right to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which such preferred stock could then be converted, and with respect to such vote, such holder shall have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of Common Stock.

(13) Warrants

Common Stock Warrants

The following common stock warrants were outstanding as of December 31, 2021:

In June 2020, the Company issued 182,500 common stock warrants in conjunction with the Loan and Security Agreement between the Company and the certain lender. These warrants are exercisable for shares of common stock at $0.94 per share and expire in June 2030. The common stock warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option pricing model. The fair value of the warrants of $0.1 million was allocated to the common stock warrants which is included in additional paid-in capital on the balance sheets. The warrants are not remeasured in future periods as they meet the conditions for equity classification.

In June 2021, the Company issued 109,080 common stock warrants in conjunction with the loan and security agreement between the Company and Silicon Valley Bank. These warrants are exercisable for shares of common stock at $1.51 per share and expire in June 2031. The common stock warrants are valued using the BSM option pricing model. The fair value of the warrants of $0.2 million was allocated to the common stock warrants which is included in additional paid-in capital on the balance sheets. The warrants are not remeasured in future periods as they meet the conditions for equity classification.

In October  , 2021, the Company issued 2,363,000 common stock warrants to an existing investor pursuant to negotiations with the investor to consider continued future investment. These warrants are exercisable for shares of common stock commencing the earliest of (i) the closing date of an initial public offering, or (b) the date of the Company’s completion of a transaction or series of related transactions (by merger, or consolidation, share exchange or otherwise) with a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company or its subsidiary. The warrant exercise price is $2.82 per share and the warrants expire in October , 2024. The warrants were measured at fair value on the issuance date. As the issuance of the warrants was a non-pro-rata transaction with a single existing shareholder, the fair value of $9.0 million was recognized as a credit to additional paid-in capital and an expense reflected in other financing cost section of the statement of operations.

The following assumptions were used to calculate the fair value of the common stock warrants issued in 2021 and 2020:

In January 2021, the Company entered into a warrant purchase agreement with SQN Venture Income Fund II, LP to issue 108,000 warrants to purchase Series C Preferred Stock in conjunction with entering into the credit facility. The exercise price of Series C warrants is $0.94 per share. The Company concluded that the Series C Preferred Stock warrants are liability classified and shall be measured at fair value at grant date using the BSM option pricing model and subsequently remeasured at each reporting date. The fair market value of the Series C Preferred Stock warrants were recorded to offset the debt discount and amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt using the straight-line amortization method. The fair value at time of issuance and as of December 31, 2021 was $0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

In June 2021, the Company entered into a warrant purchase agreement with SQN Venture Income Fund II, LP to issue 533,333 warrants to purchase Common Stock in conjunction with entering into the credit facility. The exercise price of these Common Stock warrants is $1.51 per share. The Company concluded that the common stock warrants are liability classified and shall be measured at fair value at grant date using the BSM option pricing model and subsequently remeasured at each reporting date. The fair value at time of issuance and as of December 31, 2021 was $1.0 million and $4.1 million, respectively.

The liability-classified warrants are remeasured on a recurring basis, primarily based on observable market data while the related theoretical warrant volatility assumption within the BSM option pricing model represents a Level 3 measurement within the ASC 820 fair value measurement hierarchy. The following table details liability-classified warrant activity, i.e., the fair value of the related liability, for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively (in thousands):

(14) Stock-Based Compensation

In April 2015, the board of directors adopted the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (“the Plan”), which was subsequently approved by the Company’s stockholders. The Company initially reserved a total of 1,902,688 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan. Between August 2015 and December 2021, through multiple amendments approved by the Company’s stockholders, the share reserve was increased to 18,212,681 shares of common stock.

The Plan permits the granting of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, and restricted stock to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to employees and consultants, and to promote the success of the Company’s business. The board of directors, at its sole discretion, shall determine the exercise price but subject to certain terms in the Plan.

Options granted under the Plan expire 10 years from the date of grant. First time grants of incentive stock options and non-statutory options generally vest at a rate of 25% on the first anniversary of the grant date and then ratably monthly over the next three years. Upon termination of employment, any unvested options are automatically returned to the Company. In general, vested options that were not exercised within three months after termination are surrendered back to the Company. These options are added back to the Plan and made available for future grants.

In general, the awards issued by the Company are service based options, however, in July 2020, the Company issued 258,368 performance-based options to the chief financial officer of the Company which vest 100% subject to the occurrence of a qualified transaction within 36 months of its date of grant. Additionally, in March 2021, the Company issued 1,245,641 performance-based options to management employees and board of directors which vest 100% subject to the occurrence of a qualified transaction. In November, 2021, the Company’s board of directors approved to (i) reduce the July 2020 grant achievement period by approximately six months; and (ii) extend the March 2021 grants achievement period by 12 months. As a result of the modifications, the total fair value of these performance-based options increased from $1.4 million to $8.8 million primarily due to the increase in Company’s common stock fair value.

The Company recorded $0 compensation expense for these performance-based options for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 as achievement of the vesting condition was not deemed probable of occurring.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were 1,050,574 and 859,468 shares, respectively, available for the Company for issuance under the Plan.

A summary of option activity under the Plan is as follows:

Restricted Stock Awards

In April 2015, as mentioned in the section above, the Company adopted the Plan to permit granting restricted stock to employees and consultants. Pursuant to the Plan, the Company entered into restricted stock award agreements with employees and consultants and the holder of the restricted stock has the rights equivalent to those of a holder of the Company’s common stock.

In addition to the participant receiving the restricted stock under the Plan the agreements grants the Company a repurchase option exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the participants’ continuous service for any reason at a purchase price for shares equal to the original purchase price paid by the purchaser to the Company for such shares and may be paid by cancellation of any indebtedness of the purchaser to the Company.

There was no activity related to restricted stock during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Determination of Fair Value

The Company estimates the fair value of share-based compensation for stock options utilizing the BSM option pricing model, which is dependent upon several variables, discussed below. These amounts are estimates and, thus, may not be reflective of actual future results, nor amounts ultimately realized by recipients of these grants. The Company recognizes compensation using the straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award.

Fair Value of Common Stock: The fair value of our common stock underlying the stock option awards is determined by the board. Given the absence of a public trading market, the board considered numerous objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of our common stock at each meeting at which awards are approved. These factors included, but are not limited to: (i) contemporaneous third-party valuations of common stock; (ii) the rights, preferences and privileges of convertible preferred stock relative to common stock; (iii) the lack of marketability of common stock; (iv) stage and development of the Company’s business; (v) general economic conditions; and (vi) the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering (“IPO”) or sale of the Company, given prevailing market conditions. To evaluate the fair value of the underlying shares for grants between two independent valuations and after the last independent valuation, a linear interpolation framework is used to evaluate the fair value of the underlying shares.

Expected Term: The expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding and primarily calculated as the average of the option vesting and contractual terms, based on the simplified method. The simplified method deems the term to be the average of the time-to-vesting and the contractual life of the options.

Expected Volatility: Since the Company does not have a trading history of its common stock, the expected volatility was derived from the average historical stock volatilities of several public companies within the Company’s industry that it considers to be comparable to its business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants.

Risk-Free-Interest-Rate: The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with remaining term equivalent to expected term.

Expected Dividend: The Company has not issued any dividends in its history and does not expect to issue dividends over the life of the options and, therefore, has estimated the dividend yield to be zero.

As of December 31, 2021 there was a total of $11.0 million of unrecognized employee compensation costs related to non-vested and non-performance-based stock option grants, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.87 years.

Secondary Sale Transactions

In June, 2021, an investor in the Company purchased shares from a founder and a former employee at a purchase price that was above the then-current fair value. Since the purchasing parties are holders of economic interest in the Company and acquired shares are at a price in excess of fair value of such shares, the amount paid in excess of the fair value at the time of the secondary sale was recognized as stock-based compensation expense.

Total stock-based compensation expense related to this secondary sale transaction of $0.3 million is included in the statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021.

In October, 2021, a growth fund purchased shares from a founder and a former employee at a purchase price that was below the then-current fair value. Accordingly, no incremental compensation expense was recognized by the Company for this secondary sale transaction.

(15) Commitments and Contingencies

The Company early adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective method (see Note 2). This ASC requires a lessee to evaluate its leases to determine whether they should be classified as operating or financing leases. The Company identified two operating leases and one finance lease.

Operating Leases

The Company leases office space in San Francisco, California under operating leases with lease term of sixty-five months beginning from January 2018. Additionally, the Company has an equipment lease agreement for forty-eight months beginning from June 2020. The table below presents the operating lease-related assets and liabilities recorded on the balance sheets (in thousands):

The estimated incremental borrowing rate used to measure the lease liability is 8.95%. Prospectively, future rent expense under ASC 842 is calculated using the same methodology as required under ASC 840 in order to straight line lease expense over the lease term. Rent expense recorded was $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Variable lease expenses for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $38 thousand and $0.3 million, respectively.

Finance Leases

On June 23, 2020, the Company sold certain capital assets for cash proceeds of $4.0 million. Immediately before the transaction, the assets had a carrying amount of approximately $4.8 million and had a remaining useful life of approximately 6 to 10 years. At the same time, the Company entered into a contract with the vendor for the right to use the assets for 3 years with monthly payments and a 12 to 24 months’ renewal option at the end of the term. The contract also includes an option to repurchase the assets at the end of year three at the then-current fair market value, limited to 25% of the fair market value of the assets at inception date (or approximately $1.0 million). The Company plans to exercise the purchase option at the end of the 3-year lease.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had $91.7 million and $59.5 million of gross federal net operating losses, respectively, of which $10.2 million were generated prior to 2018 and will begin expiring in 2033. The remaining $81.5 million can be carried forward indefinitely. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company also had $81.7 million and $46.3 million, respectively, of gross state net operating losses, which begin to expire in 2033.

Utilization of the domestic net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to ownership change limitations that may have occurred or that could occur in the future, as required by the Internal Revenue Code Section 382, as well as similar state provisions. In general, an “ownership change,” as defined by the code, results from a transaction or series of transactions over a three-year period resulting in an ownership change of more than 50 percentage points of the outstanding stock of a company by certain stockholders or public groups. Any limitation may result in expiration of all, or a portion of the net operating loss or tax credit carry forwards before utilization.

The Company has established a valuation allowance for U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance requires an assessment of both positive and negative evidence when determining whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets are recoverable. Such assessment is required on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. The Company intends to maintain a full valuation allowance until sufficient positive evidence exists to support reversal. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was $25.6 million and $14.2 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The change in valuation allowance of $11.4 million and $4.8 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively, is primarily related to the Company’s activities that give rise to a net operating loss carryover.

The Company’s income tax returns are routinely subject to examination by U.S. federal, state, and local tax authorities. None of the Company’s income tax returns are under examination as of December 31, 2021.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted and signed into law. The CARES Act, among other things, permits net operating loss (NOL) carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2021, if not otherwise limited under IRC Section 382. After evaluating the impact of the CARES Act, the Company does not expect that NOL provisions of the CARES act to result in a material benefit to the Company, since the Company has no historical tax years with taxable income.

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 was passed March 11, 2021, which contained tax provisions, such as an extension to the Employee Retention Credit. The Company evaluated the impact of the Act and there were no material benefits from its passage.

The unrecognized tax benefit is related to the Company’s reserves on Federal and California research and development tax credits. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the activity related to the unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):

The Company is currently unaware of any uncertain tax positions that could result in significant additional payments, accruals, or other material deviation in the next 12 months.

(17) Net Loss Per Share

The Company uses the two-class method to calculate basic net loss per share and apply the more dilutive of the two-class method, treasury stock method or if-converted method to calculate diluted net loss per share.

No dividends were declared or paid for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Undistributed earnings for each period are allocated to participating securities, including the preferred stock for applicable periods, based on the contractual participation rights of the security to share in the current earnings as if all current period earnings had been distributed. As there are no contractual obligations for the preferred stockholders to share in losses, the Company’s basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during periods with undistributed losses.

The table below sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share (in thousands, except share data and per share amounts):

	Years ended December 31,
	2021		2020
Basic and diluted:
Net loss	$	(48,013)	$	(19,104)
Weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding		9,819,576		9,755,174
Basic and diluted net loss per share	$	(4.89)	$	(1.96)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 because the inclusion of potential shares of common stock would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented. The following table presents the potential common shares outstanding that were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share of common stock as of the periods presented because including them would have been antidilutive:

	As of December 31,
	2021	2020
Shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of redeemable convertible preferred stock	29,520,187	29,520,187
Shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of redeemable convertible preferred stock warrants	231,391	123,391
Shares of common stock issuable from stock options	16,508,725	10,364,039
Shares of common stock issuable from common stock warrants	3,187,913	182,500
Potential common shares excluded from diluted net loss per share	49,448,216	40,190,117

(18) Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events from December 31, 2021 through March 16, 2022, which is the date the financial statements were available for issuance and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements, other than as follows:

Loan and Security Agreement

On January 11, 2022, the Company entered into the first amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement to convert $10.0 million of availability under the tranche 2 loan to the tranche 1 loan. This amendment expanded the tranche 1 from $20.0 million to $30.0 million and reduced the tranche 2 loan from $20.0 million to $10.0 million. For the original $20.0 million borrowed under tranche 1, the maturity date is December 23, 2022 and the $10.0 million borrowed under the expanded portion of tranche 1 provides for a maturity date of February 12, 2023.

On January 20, 2022, in conjunction with the loan and security agreement, the Company entered into warrant agreements with the various lenders involved under the loan and security agreement to issue certain number of warrants based on the percentage of each tranche borrowing exercisable for the Company’s Series C preferred stock at the lowest of (i) $2.82 per share, (ii) the lowest price per share the Company receives for a share of the Series C preferred stock, and (iii) the lowest price the Company receives for a share of future round of preferred stock.

Convertible Senior Notes

On January 18, 2022, ACE entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with the Company, OCM Tempo Holdings, LLC (“OCM”) and Tor Asia Credit Opportunity Master Fund II LP (“Tor”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, OCM, an affiliate of Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., has committed to purchase $175.0 million in aggregate principal amount of ACE’s 15.5% convertible senior notes due 2025 concurrently with the closing (the “Closing”) of the previously announced business combination between ACE and the Company, which is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions stated in the agreement and Merger Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2021, by and among ACE, the Company and the Merger Sub., and other customary closing conditions. The Subscription Agreement also provides for the purchase of $25.0 million in aggregate principal amount of ACE’s 15.5% convertible senior notes due 2025 concurrently with the Closing by Tor, an investment partner of ACE. With the signing of the Subscription Agreement, the previously announced agreement allowing for investment in ACE’s 12% convertible senior notes due 2025 by an affiliate of ACE’s sponsor, ACE Convergence Acquisition LLC was terminated.

Convertible Promissory Notes

On January 18, 2022, the Company issued convertible promissory notes to existing investors for gross proceeds of $5.0 million (the “2022 Promissory Notes”). The 2022 Promissory Notes bear simple interest on the unpaid principal at a rate of 10% per year and are due and payable by the Company on demand any time after November 15, 2022. The outstanding amount will convert into securities of ACE upon the earlier to occur of the closing of the transactions and the closing of the first qualified financing following any termination of the business combination agreement as applicable.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Convertible Junior Notes

In March 2022, the Company and ACE entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with ACE SO3, pursuant to which ACE SO3 agreed to purchase an unsecured subordinated convertible note in an aggregate principal amount of $20.0 million (the “ACE Convertible Note”) from New Tempo in connection with the closing of the business combination. The ACE Convertible Note will bear interest at a rate of 18% per annum, payable in kind by increasing the outstanding principal amount of the ACE Convertible Note. Upon the earlier to occur of the conversion or payment in full of the principal amount hereof and all accrued but unpaid interest hereunder and the maturity date, New Tempo will pay to the holder of the ACE Convertible an amount equal 5% of the initial principal amount thereof.

Cantor Share Purchase Agreement

In March 2022, the Company and ACE entered into the Cantor Purchase Agreement with CF Principal relating to a committed equity facility (the “Facility”). Pursuant to the Cantor Purchase Agreement, New Tempo will have the right from time to time at its option following closing of the merger to sell to CF Principal up to $100.0 million of New Tempo common stock subject to certain customary conditions and limitations set forth in the Cantor Purchase Agreement. While there are distinct differences, the Facility is structured similarly to a traditional at-the-market equity facility, insofar as it allows New Tempo to raise primary equity capital on a periodic basis outside the context of a traditional underwritten follow-on offering following the closing of the merger.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim condensed financial statements and accompanying unaudited notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Liquidity and Going Concern

The Company has experienced negative cash flows from operations since inception and expects negative cash flows from operations to continue for the foreseeable future. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $128.3 million and cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $2.4 million as of June 30, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company used net cash of $17.0 million in operating activities and incurred a net loss of $20.0 million. Additionally, as of the date these financial statements were available for issuance, the Company has approximately $42.7 million of loans payable and finance lease obligations coming due within the next 12 months. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

In October 2021, Tempo entered into a loan and security agreement (the “LSA”) with a maximum borrowing capacity of $150.0 million consisting of four tranches. This agreement replaced Tempo’s existing SQN Venture Income Fund II, LP $20.0 million facility (the “June 2021 Credit Facility”), and $20.0 million was drawn on tranche 1 of the LSA. Borrowing capacity for tranche 2 is $20.0 million which shall be available to draw by the Company upon sooner of the de-SPAC with ACE or closing of the acquisition with Whizz. Borrowing capacity for tranche 3 and tranche 4 is $40.0 million, and $70.0 million, respectively which shall be available to draw by the Company, upon the de-SPAC with ACE, subject to lender approval. The tranches have an earliest expiration date of December 23, 2022 (see Note 7).

In January 2022, the Company entered into the first amendment to the LSA to convert $10.0 million of availability under tranche 2 of the loan to tranche 1 of the loan. This amendment expanded tranche 1 from $20.0 million to $30.0 million and reduced tranche 2

F-86

from $20.0 million to $10.0 million. The first amendment did not change the interest rates or maturity dates for tranche 1 (see Note 7 ).

In January 2022, the Company issued convertible promissory notes (the “2022 Promissory Notes”) to existing investors for gross proceeds of $5.0 million. These shall be due and payable by the Company on demand at any time after November 15, 2022 (see Note 8).

In May 2022, the Company entered into a bridge note (the “Bridge Note”) with ACE and ACE Equity Partners International Pte. Ltd. (“AEPI”), which was replaced in its entirety on substantially the same terms on July 1, 2022, pursuant to which AEPI agreed to loan to Tempo up to an aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million, $2.5 million of which was advanced to Tempo as of June 30, 2022 . The Bridge Note is due on September 30, 2022 (see Note 8).

In August, 2022, Tempo entered into a note purchase agreement with certain existing related party investors and with the lenders under the Loan and Security Agreement (collectively, the “Initial Bridge Investors”), pursuant to which Tempo agreed to issue up to $5.0 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible promissory notes (the “August 2022 Bridge Notes”) to the Initial Bridge Investors for aggregate cash proceeds of approximately $1.4 million and the cancellation of approximately $3.6 million of outstanding amounts owed under the Loan and Security Agreement. Additionally, Tempo may, from time to time prior to October 9, 2022, issue up to $0.7 million in aggregate principal amount of additional August 2022 Bridge Notes to one or more additional investors (see Note 16).

In May and August 2022, the Company announced reductions in workforce.

In order to fund planned operations while meeting obligations as they come due, the Company will need to secure additional debt or equity financing. These plans for additional financings are intended to mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, however as the plans are outside of Management’s control, the Company cannot ensure they will be effectively implemented. As a result, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Failure to secure additional funding may require the Company to modify, delay, or abandon some of its planned future expansion or development, or to otherwise enact additional operating cost reductions available to management, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition, and ability to achieve its intended business objectives.

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course.

Unaudited Interim Condensed Financial Statements

The accompanying interim condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2022, the interim condensed statements of operations, condensed statements of convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity, and condensed statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and amounts relating to the interim periods included in the accompanying notes to the interim condensed financial statements are unaudited. The unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting, and in management’s opinion, includes all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2022, and the condensed statements of operations, condensed statements of convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity, and condensed statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the fiscal year or any other periods. These interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The unaudited balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Those estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition and contract liabilities; allowance for doubtful accounts; determination of fair value of our common stock; determination of fair value of warrants; accounting for income taxes, including the

F-87

valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and reserves for uncertain tax positions; accrued liabilities; and the recognition and measurement of contingent liabilities. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjust those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates, and those differences could be material to the financial statements.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to a number of risks. The Company conducts business in a dynamic high technology industry and believes that changes in any of the following areas could have a material adverse effect on its future financial position, results of operations, or cash flows: advances and trends in new technologies and industry standards; pressures resulting from new applications offered by competitors; delays in applications and functionality development; changes in certain strategic relationships or customer relationships; the Company’s ability to attract new customers or retain existing customers; the length of the Company’s sales cycles and expense related to sales efforts; litigation or claims against the Company based on intellectual property, patent, product, regulatory, or other factors; changes in domestic and international economic or political conditions or regulations; the ability of the Company to finance its operations; and the Company’s ability to attract and retain employees necessary to support its growth. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted supply chains, constrained work force participation, and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. As the scope and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown and the extent of its economic impact continues to evolve globally, there is uncertainty related to the ultimate impact it will have on the Company’s business, its employees, results of operations and financial condition.

COVID-19 Impact

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared that the worldwide spread and severity of a new coronavirus, referred to as COVID-19, was severe enough to be characterized as a pandemic. In response to the continued spread of COVID-19, governmental authorities around the world have imposed various restrictions designed to slow the pace of the pandemic, including restrictions on travel and other restrictions that prohibit employees from going to work causing severe disruptions in the worldwide economy. The COVID-19 pandemic has had and may continue to have an adverse impact on the Company’s employees, operations, supply chain and distribution system. In response to the economic challenges and uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the Company’s business, certain employees worked remotely. In addition, in April 2020, the Company announced reductions in workforce. These decisions, as well as COVID-19 more generally, introduced new dynamics into the households of many employees. The full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operational and financial performance is currently uncertain and will depend on many factors outside the Company’s control, including, without limitation, the timing, extent, trajectory and duration of the pandemic, the development and availability of effective treatments and vaccines, the imposition of protective public safety measures, and the impact of the pandemic on the global economy and demand for its services. If the Company’s suppliers experience additional closures or reductions in their capacity utilization levels in the future, the Company may have difficulty sourcing materials necessary to fulfill production requirement. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Tempo has experienced some supply chain constraints, including with respect to semiconductor components, and has responded by ordering larger quantities of these components to ensure an adequate supply. COVID-19 has also impacted the Company’s customers and may create unpredictable reductions or increases in demand for Tempo’s manufacturing services. Management will continue to monitor the impact of the global situation on the Company’s financial condition, cash flows, operations, industry, workforce, and customer relationships.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections can result in deferred revenue (contract liabilities), unbilled receivables (contract assets), and billed accounts receivable.

a.Contract Liabilities

A contract liability results when payments from customers are received in advance for assembly and manufacturing of the goods. The Company recognizes contract liabilities as revenues upon satisfaction of the underlying performance obligations. Deferred revenue that is expected to be recognized as revenue during the subsequent twelve-month period from the date of billing is recorded in contract liabilities and the remaining portion, if any, is recorded in contract liabilities, noncurrent on the accompanying balance sheets

F-88

at the end of each reporting period. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized as revenue of $0.1 million and $0.1 million that was included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the related periods, respectively.

b.Contract Assets

Billings scheduled to occur after the performance obligation has been satisfied and revenue recognition has occurred result in contract assets. Unbilled receivables that are expected to be billed during the subsequent twelve-month period from the date of revenue recognition are recorded in contract assets, and the remaining portion, if any, is recorded in other noncurrent assets on the accompanying balance sheets at the end of each reporting period. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no amounts attributable to contract assets recorded within other noncurrent assets.

Unbilled receivables represent amounts for which the Company has recognized revenue, pursuant to its revenue recognition policy, for services already performed, but billed in arrears and for which the Company believes it has an unconditional right to payment.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company was managed as a single operating segment in accordance with the provisions in the FASB guidance on segment reporting, which establishes standards for, and requires disclosure of, certain financial information related to reportable operating segments and geographic regions. Furthermore, the Company determined that the Chief Executive Officer is the Chief Operating Decision Maker as she is responsible for making decisions regarding the allocation of resources and assessing performance as well as for strategic operational decisions and managing the organization as a whole. All of the Company’s revenues are domestic sales and fixed assets are physically located in the United States.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid securities that mature within three months or less from the original date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances with commercial banks in interest bearing accounts. Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in checking and savings accounts and highly liquid securities with original maturity dates of three months or less from the original date of purchase.

The restricted cash balance as of both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 represents $0.3 million related to a letter of credit for the Company’s office space lease.

Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown in the condensed statements of cash flows	$	2,412	$	25,398

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

● Level 1: Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.

F-89

● Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, in active markets or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated with market data at the measurement date.

● Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The Company applies fair value accounting to all financial assets and liabilities, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. The Company has determined the carrying value of these assets and liabilities approximates the fair value due to their short maturities and has classified these assets and liabilities as Level 1 financial instruments.

Certain convertible preferred stock and common stock warrants and derivatives are liability classified and are classified as Level 3 financial instruments. The fair value of these convertible preferred stock and common stock warrants and derivatives which are liability classified is $3.0 million and $5.6 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively (see Note 10). During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021, the Company had no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy of its assets or liabilities measured at fair value.

Deferred Transaction Costs

Deferred transaction costs consist of direct incremental legal, consulting, and accounting fees relating to the merger transaction, as discussed in Note 1 – Organization, which are capitalized and will be recorded as a reduction to the issuance of equity arising from the consummation of the merger transaction. In the event the merger transaction is terminated, deferred transaction costs will be expensed. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has deferred such costs amounting to $4.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively, which are included in other noncurrent assets in the condensed balance sheets.

Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. The Company considers all series of its preferred stock to be participating securities. Net loss is attributed to common stockholders and participating securities based on their participation rights. Net loss attributable to common stockholders is not allocated to the preferred stock as the holders of the preferred stock do not have a contractual obligation to share in any losses.

Under the two-class method, basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders adjusts basic earnings per share for the potentially dilutive impact of preferred stock, stock options, preferred and common stock warrants and convertible notes. As the Company has reported losses for all periods presented, all potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive and accordingly, basic net loss per share equals diluted net loss per share.

Related Parties

As discussed in Note 1 - Organization, in October 2021, ACE entered into a Merger Agreement with ACE Convergence Subsidiary Corp. and a direct wholly owned Merger Sub, and Tempo. The Chief Financial Officer of Tempo is also a director of ACE and is considered an interested related party to the business combination. Additionally, the Company issued 2022 Promissory Notes to existing investors and entered into the Bridge Note with ACE and AEPI during the six months ended June 30, 2022 (see Note 8).

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” or ASU 2016-13. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 introduce an approach based on expected losses to estimated credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, modify the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and provide for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. The new standard requires financial assets measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The standard will be effective for

F-90

the Company beginning January 1, 2023, with early application permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-08, “Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers”, which requires accounting for contract assets and liabilities from contracts with customers in a business combination to be accounted for in accordance with ASC 606. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its financial statements.

(7) Borrowing Arrangements

Term Loan and Credit Facility with Financial Institution

In June 2020, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with a financial institution where the Company drew down $4.0 million (the “Term Loan”) and secured up to $4.0 million in a revolving line of credit (the “Credit Facility”). During 2020, the Company drew down $1.6 million from the Credit Facility and repaid amount back in full. No other advances were drawn by the Company before it expired on June 3, 2021.

In conjunction with the issuance of the Term Loan, the Company issued the lender a warrant to purchase 182,500 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company allocated the $4.0 million proceeds between the Term Loan and the common stock warrant on a relative fair value basis, recording $0.1 million for the common stock warrant in additional paid-in capital, with the offset to debt discount, on the condensed balance sheets. The common stock warrant is not remeasured in future periods as it meets the conditions for equity classification. For further details on the warrants issued in conjunction with the term loans discussed, see Note 10.

On June 23, 2021, the Company entered into an amended and restated loan and security agreement with the financial institution which expanded the Term Loan obligation from $4.0 million to $10.0 million, with the maturity date extended to September 1, 2022 and a loan commitment fee of $50 thousand. For the Term Loan the Company is required to make monthly interest only payments from January 2021 through December 2021, thereafter certain monthly principal plus interest payments for a period of 8 months beginning from January 2022 and a final payment of the balance principal and interest outstanding under the agreement in September 2022. The amended and restated term loan debt bears interest at the greater of (a) Wall Street Journal Prime plus 5.00%, floating or (b) 8.25% per annum.

In addition, the Company issued 109,080 warrants to the lender which are exercisable to purchase the Company’s common stock at $1.51. For further details on the warrants issued in conjunction with the term loan, see Note 10.

On October 14, 2021, the Company paid $10.3 million to settle the credit facility under the amended and restated loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank including $0.3 million of interest.

Equipment Loan and Security Agreement

On January 29, 2021, the Company entered into an equipment loan and security agreement with SQN Venture Income Fund II, LP. The overall loan facility provides for a maximum borrowing capacity of $6.0 million consisting of two tranches, each tranche with a borrowing capacity up to $3.0 million.

On January 29, 2021, the Company drew down $3.0 million under the first tranche of the facility. The Company is required to make monthly payments for a period of 42 months on this tranche plus end of term payment fee of $0.2 million which is accreted to interest expense over the term of the agreement. The loan has a maturity date of July 2024. An additional $3.0 million can be drawn by the Company, provided that certain criteria are met, such as the Company not having defaulted on the first tranche and there having not been a material adverse change (as defined in the Loan Agreement) as of the date for the borrowing request. The loan facility is used for financing certain equipment purchases. The equipment financed through the loans serves as collateral for the loan.

The loan bears a cash interest of 8.95% per annum. Interest is payable on the first day of the month. If the loan is in default, it shall bear interest at a rate of an additional 5% per annum. The loan interest expense and discount amortization interest for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $0.1 million and $15 thousand, respectively. The Company was in compliance with the covenants as of June 30, 2022.

In conjunction with entering into the equipment loan and security agreement, the Company entered into a warrant agreement with the lender and issued 108,000 warrants exercisable for the Company’s Series C preferred stock at $0.94. For further details on the warrants issued in conjunction with the equipment loan and security agreement, see Note 10.

June 2021 Credit Facility

On June 23, 2021, the Company entered into the June 2021 Credit Facility with SQN Venture Income Fund II, LP. The June 2021 Credit Facility provides for a maximum borrowing capacity of $20.0 million consisting of two tranches, each tranche with a borrowing capacity of $10.0 million.

F-93

On June 23, 2021, the Company drew down $10.0 million of the facility. The Company is required to make monthly interest-only payments for a period of 18 months and thereafter, principal and interest outstanding under the agreement with a maturity date of December 2022. On August 13, 2021, the Company drew down the remaining $10.0 million. The second tranche has a maturity date of February 2023. The June 2021 Credit Facility is used for general working capital purposes. This loan bears a cash interest of 10% per annum. Interest is payable on the first day of the month. Additionally, this loan bears a Paid-in-Kind (PIK) interest of 2% per annum with PIK interest capitalized, compounded, and added to the principal balance monthly in arrears. The PIK interest becomes payable upon maturity. If the term loan is in default, it shall bear interest at an additional 5%. The Company paid a nonrefundable facility fee of $0.2 million.

In conjunction with entering into the June 2021 Credit Facility, the Company entered into a warrant agreement with the lender and issued 533,333 warrants exercisable for the Company’s common stock at $1.51. For further details on the warrants issued in conjunction with the June 2021 Credit Facility, see Note 10.

Loan and Security Agreement

On October 13, 2021, the Company entered into the LSA with Structural Capital Investments III, LP, Series Structural DCO II, a series of Structural Capital DCO, LLC, SQN Tempo Automation, LLC, SQN Venture Income Fund II, LP, and Ocean II PLO LLC. The LSA replaced the June 2021 Credit Facility, providing for maximum borrowing capacity of $150.0 million consisting of four tranches. Per the LSA, borrowings of $20.0 million from tranches 1 and 2 from the June 2021 Credit Facility were replaced by a new tranche 1 in the amount of $20.0 million. Borrowing capacity for tranche 2 is $20.0 million which shall be available to draw by the Company upon sooner of the de-SPAC with ACE or closing of the acquisition with Whizz. Borrowing capacity for tranche 3 and tranche 4 of the LSA is $40.0 million, and $70.0 million, respectively, which shall be available to draw by the Company upon the de-SPAC with ACE, subject to lender approval. The tranches have an earliest expiration date of December 23, 2022.

The termination of the June 2021 Credit Facility and subsequent borrowings under tranche 1 of the LSA was accounted for as a partial extinguishment of debt. Specifically, upon entering into the LSA, the Company became indebted to a new lender in the amount of $6.0 million, while $14.0 million of obligations are due to the same lender group party to the June 2021 Credit Facility. The $6.0 million was reflected as a debt repayment with the old lender and was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt. Accordingly, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of $0.3 million related to the write off of unamortized debt discount. The Company also evaluated the $14.0 million of debt outstanding with continuing lenders and concluded the transaction should be treated as a modification of debt.

Borrowings under tranches 2, 3 and 4 of the LSA bear interest equal to the greater of (i) 10.5%, and (ii) 7.25% plus the prime rate then in effect, provided however, for all advances made after the occurrence of the public trading trigger, a per annum rate of interest equal to the greater of (i) 9.5%, and (ii) 6.25% plus the prime rate then in effect shall apply. Borrowings under tranche 1 bear interest equal to 10%. In addition, interest will accrue at an additional 2% per annum rate on the outstanding borrowing made under the tranche 1, which shall be capitalized and be compounded and added to the principal balance of the Tranche 1 Loan monthly in advance on the next monthly payment date.

For borrowings made pursuant to the LSA, the Company is further committed to a fee in an amount sufficient, if needed, to increase the lender’s minimum return to 1.20:1.00 if payable on or before the first anniversary of such borrowing, 1.30:1.00 if payable after the first anniversary of such borrowing but on or before the second anniversary of such borrowing, 1:35:1.00 if payable after the second anniversary of such borrowing but on or before the third anniversary of such borrowing, or 1.40:1.00 if payable after the third anniversary of such borrowing.

On January 11, 2022, the Company entered into the first amendment to the LSA to convert $10.0 million of availability under the tranche 2 loan to the tranche 1 loan. This amendment expanded the tranche 1 from $20.0 million to $30.0 million and reduced the tranche 2 loan from $20.0 million to $10.0 million. For the original $20.0 million borrowed under tranche 1, the maturity date is December 23, 2022 and the $10.0 million borrowed under the expanded portion of tranche 1 provides for a maturity date of February 12, 2023. As of June 30, 2022 the Company had $30.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the amended LSA, with $10.0 million of borrowing capacity available under tranche 2 of the LSA which shall be available to draw by the Company upon sooner of the de-SPAC with ACE or closing of the acquisition with Whizz and an additional $110.0 million of borrowing capacity available for borrowing under tranches 3 and 4 of the LSA upon the de-SPAC with ACE, subject to lender approval.

On May 1, 2022, the Company was in breach of its covenants under the LSA. As a result, the Company recorded $0.3 million of default interest expense in the Company’s condensed statement of operations during the six months ended June 30, 2022. As of June

F-94

30, 2022, the Company was in breach of its covenants under the LSA and the debt including all interest due through maturity, is callable by the lender and is classified as loan payable, current on the condensed balance sheet.

On January 20, 2022, in conjunction with the LSA, the Company entered into warrant agreements with the various lenders involved under the LSA to issue a certain number of warrants to purchase Series C preferred stock based on the percentage of each tranche borrowing exercisable for the Company’s Series C preferred stock at the lowest of (i) $2.82 per share, (ii) the lowest price per share the Company receives for a share of the Series C preferred stock, and (iii) the lowest price the Company receives for a share of future round of preferred stock, see Note 10.

(8) Borrowing Arrangements – Related Party

Convertible Promissory Notes

On January 18, 2022, the Company issued convertible promissory notes to existing investors for gross proceeds of $5.0 million (the “2022 Promissory Notes”). The 2022 Promissory Notes bear simple interest on the unpaid principal at a rate of 10% per year and are due and payable by the Company on demand any time after November 15, 2022. The outstanding amount will convert into securities of ACE upon the earlier to occur of the closing of the transactions and the closing of the first qualified financing following any termination of the business combination agreement as applicable.

The exchange feature of the 2022 Promissory Notes was deemed an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation from the 2022 Promissory Notes (the “host contract”) and separate accounting as an embedded derivative liability. The proceeds from the 2022 Promissory Notes were first allocated to the embedded derivative liability, resulting in an embedded derivative liability of $0.1 million on issuance, with the remaining proceeds were then allocated to the host contract. On June 30, 2022, the carrying amount of the embedded derivative liability was $0.1 million. The difference between the principal amount of the 2022 Promissory Notes and the

F-95

allocated value of the host contract (the “debt discount”) upon issuance is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the 2022 Promissory Notes. The embedded derivative liability is remeasured to fair value at each reporting period with changes recognized in the condensed statement of operations within change in fair value of warrants/derivatives. The amount recognized within change in fair value of warrants and derivatives related to the 2022 Promissory Notes for the six months ended June 30, 2022 is $31 thousand.

Bridge Note

In May, 2022, the Company entered into the Bridge Note with ACE and AEPI, which was replaced in its entirety on substantially the same terms on July 1, 2022, pursuant to which AEPI agreed to loan to Tempo up to an aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million, $2.5 million of which was advanced to Tempo as of June 30, 2022. The Bridge Note is due on September 30, 2022.

The Bridge Note has an interest rate of 12% per annum, payable in-kind by increasing the outstanding principal amount of the Bridge Note. Interest shall be deemed to have commenced on May 19, 2022. The Bridge Note replaced a May 2022 loan on substantially the same terms in its entirety.

The conversion option of the Bridge Note was deemed an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation from the Bridge Note (the “host contract”) and is separately accounted for as an embedded derivative liability. The proceeds from the Bridge Note were first allocated to the embedded derivative liability, resulting in an embedded derivative liability of $0.1 million on issuance, with the remaining proceeds then allocated to the host contract. On June 30, 2022, the carrying amount of the embedded derivative liability was $0.1 million. The difference between the principal amount of the Bridge Note and the allocated value of the host contract (the “debt discount”) upon issuance is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the Bridge Note. The embedded derivative liability is remeasured to fair value at each reporting period with changes recognized in the condensed statement of operations within change in fair value of warrants and derivatives. The amount recognized within change in fair value of warrants/derivatives related to the Bridge Note for the six months ended June 30, 2022 is $9 thousand.

Embedded Derivative

The liability-classified embedded derivative is remeasured on a recurring basis, primarily based on observable market data while the related theoretical volatility assumption within the BSM option pricing model represents a Level 3 measurement within the ASC 820 fair value measurement hierarchy. The following table details liability-classified embedded derivative activity, i.e., the fair value of the related liability, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 (in thousands):

The change in fair value, net as shown in the table above is recorded as change in fair value of warrant and derivative liability in the condensed statements of operations.

For warrants revalued during the period, the warrants were valued using a valuation technique which considers the value of the instruments under a SPAC scenario and a non-SPAC scenario, using the following assumptions:

	June 30, 2022	December 31, 2021
Expected term	3.00 years	3.89 – 9.48 years
Expected volatility	46.90%	64.29% – 64.44%
Risk-free interest rate	2.99%	1.12% – 1.52%
Expected dividends	0%	0%

(11) Stock-Based Compensation

In April 2015, the board of directors adopted the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (“the Plan”), which was subsequently approved by the Company’s stockholders. As of June 30, 2022, through multiple amendments approved by the Company’s stockholders, the share reserve was increased to 18,212,681 shares.

The Plan permits the granting of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, and restricted stock to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to employees and consultants, and to promote the success of the Company’s business. The board of directors, at its sole discretion, shall determine the exercise price but subject to certain terms in the Plan.

Options granted under the Plan expire 10 years from the date of grant. First time grants of incentive stock options and non-statutory options generally vest at a rate of 25% on the first anniversary of the grant date and then ratably monthly over the next three years. Upon termination of employment, any unvested options are automatically returned to the Company. In general, vested options that were not exercised within three months after termination are surrendered back to the Company. These options are added back to the Plan and made available for future grants.

In general, the awards issued by the Company are service based options, however, in July 2020, the Company issued 258,368 performance-based options to the chief financial officer of the Company which vest 100% subject to the occurrence of a qualified transaction within 36 months of its date of grant. Additionally, in March 2021, the Company issued 1,245,641 performance-based options to management employees and board of directors which vest 100% subject to the occurrence of a qualified transaction. In November 2021, the Company’s board of directors approved to (i) reduce the July 2020 grant achievement period by approximately six months; and (ii) extend the March 2021 grants achievement period by 12 months. As a result of the modifications, the total fair value of these performance-based options increased from $1.4 million to $8.8 million primarily due to the increase in Company’s common stock fair value.

In March 2022, one of the Company’s executives was terminated and the 330,708 unvested options were modified to include a performance condition. The unvested options will vest upon a change of control within three months of the modification date. As of June 30, 2022, the performance condition was not met. As a result, no stock-based compensation was recorded and the unvested options were forfeited during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 2,316,214 and 1,050,574 common shares, respectively, available for issuance under the Plan.

Restricted Stock Awards

There was no activity related to restricted stock during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Determination of Fair Value

The Company estimates the fair value of share-based compensation for stock options utilizing the BSM option pricing model, which is dependent upon several variables, discussed below. These amounts are estimates and, thus, may not be reflective of actual future results, nor amounts ultimately realized by recipients of these grants. The Company recognizes compensation using the straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award.

Fair Value of Common Stock: The fair value of our common stock underlying the stock option awards is determined by the board. Given the absence of a public trading market, the board considered numerous objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of our common stock at each meeting at which awards are approved. These factors included, but are not limited to: (i) contemporaneous third-party valuations of common stock; (ii) the rights, preferences and privileges of convertible preferred stock relative to common stock; (iii) the lack of marketability of common stock; (iv) stage and development of the Company’s business; (v) general economic conditions; and (vi) the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering (“IPO”) or sale of the Company, given prevailing market conditions. To evaluate the fair value of the underlying shares for grants between two independent valuations and after the last independent valuation, a linear interpolation framework is used to evaluate the fair value of the underlying shares.

Expected Term: The expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding and primarily calculated as the average of the option vesting and contractual terms, based on the simplified method. The simplified method deems the term to be the average of the time-to-vesting and the contractual life of the options.

Expected Volatility: Since the Company does not have a trading history of its common stock, the expected volatility was derived from the average historical stock volatilities of several public companies within the Company’s industry that it considers to be comparable to its business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants.

Risk-Free-Interest-Rate: The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with remaining term equivalent to expected term.

Expected Dividend: The Company has not issued any dividends in its history and does not expect to issue dividends over the life of the options and, therefore, has estimated the dividend yield to be zero.

F-99

The following assumptions were used to calculate the fair value of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2022:

	Six Months Ended June 30,2022
Expected term	5.02 years
Expected volatility	55.92	%
Risk-free interest rate	1.54	%
Expected dividends	0.0	%

Stock-based compensation expense

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense and its allocation within the accompanying statements of operations during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

	2022		2021
Cost of goods sold	$	312	$	66
Research and development		455		182
Sales and marketing		359		105
General and administrative		565		729
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	1,691	$	1,082

As of June 30, 2022 there was a total of $7.4 million of unrecognized employee compensation costs excluding unrecognized costs associated with performance-based stock options. Such compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.4 years.

(13) Income Taxes

The Company did not record a provision or benefit for income taxes during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance for its net U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets.

On March 27, 2020, the U.S. federal government enacted the CARES Act, which changed several of the existing U.S. corporate income tax laws by, among other things, increasing the amount of deductible interest, allowing companies to carry back certain Net Operating Losses (“NOLs”), and increasing the amount of NOLs that corporations can use to offset income. The CARES Act did not have a material impact on the Company's income tax provision, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and related taxes payable. The Company is currently assessing the future implications of these provisions within the CARES Act on the Company's condensed financial statements but does not expect the impact to be material.

(14) Net Loss Per Share

The Company uses the two-class method to calculate basic net loss per share and apply the more dilutive of the two-class method, treasury stock method or if-converted method to calculate diluted net loss per share.

No dividends were declared or paid for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Undistributed earnings for each period are allocated to participating securities, including the preferred stock for applicable periods, based on the contractual participation rights of the security to share in the current earnings as if all current period earnings had been distributed. As there are no contractual obligations for the preferred stockholders to share in losses, the Company’s basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during periods with undistributed losses.

The table below sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share (in thousands, except share data and per share amounts):

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021
Basic and diluted:
Net loss	$	(20,007)	$	(14,046)
Weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding		10,065,695		9,778,360
Basic and diluted net loss per share	$	(1.99)	$	(1.44)

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 because the inclusion of potential shares of common stock would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented. The following table presents the potential common shares outstanding that were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share of common stock as of the periods presented because including them would have been antidilutive:

	As of June 30,
	2022	2021
Shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of redeemable convertible preferred stock	29,520,187	29,520,187
Shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of redeemable convertible preferred stock warrants	418,058	231,391
Shares of common stock issuable from stock options	15,195,036	14,461,829
Shares of common stock issuable from common stock warrants	3,187,913	824,913
Potential common shares excluded from diluted net loss per share	48,321,194	45,038,320

On September 4, 2022, Tempo, ACE, OCM and Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. entered into a letter agreement pursuant to which the termination fee in connection with the Subscription Agreement was reduced from 3.5% of the aggregate principal amount of the subscribed notes (approximately $7.0 million) to 0.6% of the aggregate principal amount of the subscribed notes (approximately $1.1 million) if the closing of the business combination occurs on or before October 15, 2022, to be paid on the earlier of (i) six months after the closing and (ii) the date on which either ACE or Tempo commence bankruptcy proceedings. In addition to this, ACE and Tempo are required to pay approximately $1.2 million in fees and expenses to OCM on the earlier of (x) immediately following the closing and (y) June 15, 2023. To the extent the termination fee and accrued and unpaid fees and expenses are not paid on or prior to June 15, 2023, the unpaid portion of the termination fee (together with all other unpaid fees and expenses) will accrue interest at a rate of 20% per year, compounding monthly, starting on October 15, 2022.

Bridge Note

On July 1, 2022, the Company entered into the Bridge Note with ACE and AEPI which replaced in its entirety on substantially the same terms, the May 2022 Bridge Note. The Bridge Note is due on September 30, 2022, pursuant to which AEPI agreed to loan to Tempo up to an aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million. The Bridge Note has an interest rate of 12% per annum, payable in-kind by increasing the outstanding principal amount of the Bridge Note. For all amounts under the convertible promissory note that have been advanced to the Company and remain unpaid, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, upon closing of the Merger, such amounts shall automatically convert in whole without any further action by the holder into a number of shares of common shares equal to (i) the drawn amount divided (ii) by $10.00, rounded up to the nearest whole share.

On August 25, 2022, the Bridge Note was amended and restated on substantially similar terms to the August 2022 Bridge Notes (as defined below).

August 2022 Bridge Notes

On August 25, 2022, Tempo entered into a note purchase agreement with the Initial Bridge Investors under the Loan and Security Agreement, pursuant to which Tempo agreed to issue up to $5.0 million in aggregate principal amount of August 2022 Bridge Notes to the Initial Bridge Investors for aggregate cash proceeds of approximately $1.4 million and the cancellation of approximately $3.6 million of outstanding amounts owed under the Loan and Security Agreement. Additionally, Tempo may, from time to time prior to October 9, 2022, issue up to $0.7 million in aggregate principal amount of additional August 2022 Bridge Notes to one or more additional investors.

The August 2022 Bridge Notes initially bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum. The August 2022 Bridge Notes will mature, and all outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable by Tempo, on the earlier of August 25, 2023 and the time at which such outstanding amount becomes due and payable upon an event of default under the August 2022 Bridge Notes. Unless an event of default has occurred and is continuing at such time, upon the closing of the business combination, the consummation of another SPAC transaction, the consummation of a qualified financing or the consummation of an initial public offering or direct listing, all outstanding amounts under the August 2022 Bridge Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, as of such time will automatically convert in full into a number of shares of (i) Tempo common stock or (ii) Tempo preferred stock having terms equivalent to the terms of Tempo’s most senior preferred stock, in each case in accordance with the terms of the August 2022 Bridge Notes, such that the value of the securities received by the holder of any August 2022 Bridge Note will equal the product of (x) the aggregate principal amount, together with any accrued but unpaid interest, outstanding under such August 2022 Bridge Note as of the time of such conversion multiplied by (y) four. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing at such time, then upon the closing of the Business Combination, the consummation of another SPAC Transaction, the consummation of a qualified financing, the consummation of an initial public offering or direct listing or the consummation of any Change of Control, the August 2022 Bridge Notes will only be converted as set forth above if the holder of such note provides its written consent to such conversion. Upon the consummation of any change of control prior to the conversion of the August 2022 Bridge Notes, Tempo will pay to the holder of such August

F-104

2022 Bridge Note, upon the closing of such change of control and in full satisfaction of the applicable August 2022 Bridge Note, a cash amount equal to the sum of (i) the product of (a) the outstanding principal balance under the applicable August 2022 Bridge Note multiplied by (b) four, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest.

On August 25, as a condition to closing the issuance and sale of the August 2022 Bridge Notes, Tempo:

● amended and restated the 2022 Promissory Notes on substantially similar terms to the August 2022 Bridge Notes.

● entered into an amended and restated warrant with existing investors, which amended and restated that certain Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock, dated as of October 11, 2021, to, among other things, provide for the automatic conversion, with an amended exercise price of zero, of such warrant into shares of Tempo common stock upon the consummation of the business combination, a business combination or similar transaction with another special purpose acquisition company, the consummation of a qualified financing or the consummation of an initial public offering or direct listing; and

● adopted that certain Amended and Restated Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Tempo, to, among other things, (i) increase the authorized capital of Tempo for purposes of reserving for issuance an adequate number of shares of Tempo common stock and Tempo preferred stock for issuance upon conversion of the August 2022 Bridge Notes; and (ii) create a new series of Tempo preferred stock designated as “Series C-3 Preferred Stock” and establish the rights, preferences and privileges of such series of Tempo preferred stock for purposes of issuing shares of such series of Tempo preferred stock upon conversion of the August 2022 Bridge Notes. Unless an event of default has occurred and is continuing at such time, upon the closing of the business combination, the consummation of another SPAC transaction, the consummation of a qualified financing or the consummation of an initial public offering or direct listing, all outstanding amounts under the August 2022 Bridge Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon as of such time will Automatically convert in full into a number of shares of (i) Tempo common stock or (ii) Tempo preferred stock having terms equivalent to the terms of Tempo’s most senior preferred stock, in each case in accordance with the terms of the August 2022 Bridge Notes, such that the value of the securities received by the holder of any August 2022 Bridge Note will equal the product of (x) the aggregate principal amount, together with any accrued but unpaid interest, outstanding under such August 2022 Bridge Note as of the time of such conversion multiplied by (y) four. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing at such time, then upon the closing of the Business Combination, the consummation of another SPAC Transaction, the consummation of a qualified financing, the consummation of an initial public offering or direct listing or the consummation of any Change of Control, the August 2022 Bridge Notes will only be converted as set forth above if the holder of such note provides its written consent to such conversion. Upon the consummation of any change of control prior to the conversion of the August 2022 Bridge Notes, Tempo will pay to the holder of such August 2022 Bridge Note, upon the closing of such change of control and in full satisfaction of the applicable August 2022 Bridge Note, a cash amount equal to the sum of (i) the product of (a) the outstanding principal balance under the applicable August 2022 Bridge Note multiplied by (b) four, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest.

ARTICLE III

EFFECTS OF THE MERGER ON THE COMPANY CAPITAL STOCK AND EQUITY AWARDS

Section 3.1.   Conversion of Securities.

(a)At the Effective Time (after giving effect to the Company Preferred Conversion), by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of Company Common Stock, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) any shares of Company Common Stock subject to Company Options (which shall be subject to Section 3.3), (ii) any shares of Company Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company, which treasury shares shall be canceled as part of the Merger and shall not constitute “Company Capital Stock” hereunder (each such share, a “Treasury Share”), and (iii) any shares of Company Common Stock held by stockholders of the Company who have perfected and not withdrawn a demand for appraisal rights pursuant to the applicable provisions of the DGCL), shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration and a number of Company Earnout Shares (in accordance with such Person’s Earnout Pro Rata Share) in accordance with Section 3.4.

(b)At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Acquiror or Merger Sub, each share of Merger Sub Capital Stock shall be converted into a share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(c)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no fractional shares of Acquiror Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger.

Section 3.2.   Exchange Procedures.

(a)Prior to the Closing, Acquiror shall appoint an exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) to act as the agent for the purpose of paying the Net Merger Consideration to the Company’s stockholders. At or before the Effective Time, Acquiror shall deposit with the Exchange Agent a number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock equal to the Net Merger Consideration.

(b)Reasonably promptly after the Effective Time, Acquiror shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each record holder of shares of Company Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whose Company Common Stock was converted pursuant to Section 3.1(a) into the right to receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and the risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper transfer of each share to the Exchange Agent, and which letter of transmittal will be in customary form and have such other provisions as Acquiror may reasonably specify) for use in such exchange (each, a “Letter of Transmittal”).

(c)Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, pursuant to Section 3.1(a), shall be entitled to receive such portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, upon receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request), together with a duly completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal and such

A-1-18

other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Exchange Agent. No interest shall be paid or accrued upon the transfer of any share.

(d)Promptly following the date that is one (1) year after the Effective Time, Acquiror shall instruct the Exchange Agent to deliver to Acquiror all documents in its possession relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Exchange Agent’s duties shall terminate. Thereafter, any portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration that remains unclaimed shall be returned to Acquiror, and any Person that was a holder of shares of Company Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time that has not exchanged such shares of Company Common Stock for an applicable portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.2 prior to the date that is one (1) year after the Effective Time, may transfer such shares of Company Common Stock to Acquiror and (subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat and similar Laws) receive in consideration therefor, and Acquiror shall promptly deliver, such applicable portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration without any interest thereupon. None of Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any of the Aggregate Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to and in accordance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. If any such shares shall not have not been transferred immediately prior to such date on which any amounts payable pursuant to this Article III would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, any such amounts shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

Section 3.3.   Treatment of Company Options.

(a)As of the Effective Time, each Company Option that is then outstanding shall be converted into (i) the right to receive a number of Earnout Shares in accordance with Section 3.4 and (ii) an option to purchase shares of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are in effect with respect to the corresponding Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, including with respect to vesting and termination-related provisions (each, an “Acquiror Option”), except that (a) such Acquiror Option shall relate to that whole number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by the Per Share Merger Consideration, and (b) the exercise price per share for each such Acquiror Option shall be equal to the exercise price per share of such Company Option in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by the Per Share Merger Consideration (the exercise price per share, as so determined, being rounded up to the nearest full cent); provided, however, that the conversion of the Company Options will be made in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.424-1, such that such conversion will not constitute a “modification” of such Company Options for purposes of Section 409A or Section 424 of the Code. As of the Effective Time, all Company Options shall no longer be outstanding and each holder of an Acquiror Option will cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Options.

(b)The Company shall take all necessary actions to effect the treatment of Company Options pursuant to Section 3.3(a) in accordance with the Company Incentive Plan and the applicable award agreements and to ensure that no Acquiror Option may be exercised prior to the effective date of an applicable Form S-8 (or other applicable registration statement, including (without limitation) a registration statement on Form S-3) of Acquiror.

Section 3.4.   Earnout.

(a)Following the Closing, promptly (but in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after the occurrence of a Triggering Event, Acquiror shall issue or cause to be issued to the Earnout Equityholders (in accordance with their respective Earnout Pro Rata Shares) the following shares of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock, as applicable (which shall be equitably adjusted on account of any subdivision, stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination, reclassification or similar equity restructuring transaction or any changes in the Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock as a result of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, business combination or similar transaction involving Acquiror) (as so adjusted, the “Company Earnout Shares”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby:

(i)upon the occurrence of Triggering Event I, a one-time aggregate issuance of three million five hundred thousand (3,500,000) Company Earnout Shares; and

A-1-19

(ii)upon the occurrence of Triggering Event II, a one-time aggregate issuance of three million five hundred thousand (3,500,000) Company Earnout Shares.

(b)For the avoidance of doubt, the Earnout Equityholders shall be entitled to receive Company Earnout Shares upon the occurrence of each Triggering Event; provided, however, that each Triggering Event shall only occur once, if at all, and in no event shall the Earnout Equityholders be entitled to receive more than seven million (7,000,000) Company Earnout Shares in the aggregate (which shall be equitably adjusted on account of any subdivision, stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination, reclassification or similar equity restructuring transaction or any changes in the Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock as a result of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, business combination or similar transaction involving Acquiror); provided, further, that Triggering Event I and Triggering Event II may be achieved at the same time or on overlapping trading days.

(c)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Company Earn-Out Shares issuable under this Section 3.4 to any Earnout Equityholder in respect of Company Options held by such Earnout Equityholder as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be issued to such Earnout Equityholder only if such Earnout Equityholder continues to provide services (whether as an employee, director or individual independent contractor) to Acquiror or one of its Subsidiaries through the date of the occurrence of the corresponding Triggering Event that causes such Company Earn-Out Shares to become issuable. Any Company Earn-Out Shares that are forfeited pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be reallocated to the other Earnout Equityholders who remain entitled to receive Earn-Out Shares in accordance with their respective Earnout Pro Rata Shares.

(d)At all times during the Earnout Period, Acquiror shall reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of unissued Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock to permit Acquiror to satisfy its issuance obligations set forth in this Section 3.4 and shall take all actions required to increase the authorized number of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock if at any time there shall be insufficient unissued Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock to permit such reservation.

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no fraction of a Company Earnout Share will be issued by virtue of any Triggering Event, and each Person who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a Company Earnout Share (after aggregating all fractional Company Earnout Shares that otherwise would be received by such holder in connection with the occurrence of such Triggering Event) shall instead have the number of Company Earnout Shares issued to such Person rounded down to the nearest whole Company Earnout Share.

(f)If, during the Earnout Period, there is an Acquiror Sale that will result in the holders of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock receiving a per share price (based on the value of the cash, securities or in-kind consideration being delivered in respect of such Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Acquiror) equal to or in excess of $12.50, then immediately prior to the consummation of such Acquiror Sale (a) if such share price is equal to or in excess of $12.50 but less than $15.00, then Triggering Event I shall be deemed to have occurred and (ii) if such per share price is equal to or in excess of $15.00, then each of Triggering Event I and Triggering Event II shall be deemed to have occurred and (b) Acquiror shall issue the applicable Company Earnout Shares to the Earnout Equityholders (in accordance with their respective Earnout Pro Rata Share), and the Earnout Equityholders shall be eligible to participate in such Acquiror Sale. If, during the Earnout Period, there is an Acquiror Sale that will result in the holders of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock receiving a per share price (based on the value of the cash, securities or in-kind consideration being delivered in respect of such Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Acquiror) that is less than $12.50, then this Section 3.4 shall terminate and no Company Earnout Shares shall be issuable hereunder with respect to such Triggering Event(s) in connection with or following completion of the Acquiror Sale.

Section 3.5.    Withholding.   Notwithstanding any other provision to this Agreement, Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Company and the Exchange Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement such Taxes as are required to be deducted and withheld from such amounts under the Code or any other applicable Law. To the extent that any amounts are so deducted and withheld, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be (i) timely remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority and (ii) to the extent duly remitted, treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 3.6.   Dissenting Shares.   Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who is entitled to demand and has properly exercised appraisal rights of such

A-1-20

shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (such shares of Company Common Stock being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws, or loses such holder’s appraisal rights under the DGCL with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Company Earnout Shares in accordance with Section 3.4), but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, waives, withdraws, or loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such shares of Company Common Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Aggregate Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.1 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the right to receive such Person’s Earnout Pro Rata Share of the Company Earn Out Shares in accordance with Section 3.4) without interest thereon, upon transfer of such shares. The Company shall provide Acquiror prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Common Stock, any waiver or withdrawal of any such demand, and any other demand, notice, or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time that relates to such demand. Except with the prior written consent of Acquiror (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, delayed or denied), the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle, or offer to settle, any such demands.

There is no Legal Proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of Acquiror, threatened against Acquiror by Nasdaq or the SEC with respect to any intention by such entity to

Section 5.8.   Trust Account.   As of the date of this Agreement, Acquiror has at least $230,000,000 in the Trust Account (including, if applicable, an aggregate of approximately $8,050,000 of deferred underwriting commissions and other fees being held in the Trust Account), such monies invested in United States government securities or money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act pursuant to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of July 27, 2020, between Acquiror and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”) (the “Trust Agreement”). There are no separate Contracts, side letters or other arrangements or understandings (whether written or unwritten, express or implied) that would cause the description of the Trust Agreement in the Acquiror SEC Filings to be inaccurate or that would entitle any Person (other than shareholders of Acquiror holding shares of Acquiror Common Stock sold in Acquiror’s initial public offering who shall have properly elected to redeem their shares of Acquiror Common Stock pursuant to Acquiror’s Governing Documents and the underwriters of Acquiror’s initial public offering with respect to deferred underwriting commissions) to any portion of the proceeds in the Trust Account. Prior to the Closing, none of the funds held in the Trust Account may be released other than to pay Taxes and payments with respect to all Acquiror Share Redemptions. The Trust Agreement has not been amended or modified and is a valid and binding obligation of Acquiror and is in full force and effect and is enforceable in accordance with its terms. There are no claims or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Acquiror, threatened with respect to the Trust Account. Acquiror has performed all material obligations required to be performed by it to date under, and is not in default, breach or delinquent in performance or any other respect (claimed or actual) in connection with, the Trust Agreement, and no event has occurred which, with due notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default or breach thereunder. As of the Effective Time, the obligations of Acquiror to dissolve or liquidate pursuant to Acquiror’s Governing Documents shall terminate, and as of the Effective Time, Acquiror shall have no obligation whatsoever pursuant to Acquiror’s Governing Documents to dissolve and liquidate the assets of Acquiror by reason of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. To Acquiror’s knowledge, as of the date hereof, following the Effective Time, no shareholder of Acquiror shall be entitled to receive any amount from the Trust Account except to the extent such shareholder of Acquiror is exercising an Acquiror Share Redemption. As of the date hereof, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein and the compliance by the Company with its obligations hereunder, neither Acquiror nor Merger Sub have any reason to believe that any of the conditions to the use of funds in the Trust Account will not be satisfied or funds available in the Trust Account will not be available to Acquiror and Merger Sub on the Closing Date.

For and in consideration of Acquiror entering into this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company hereby irrevocably waives any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they have or may have in the future in or to any monies in the Trust Account and agree not to seek recourse against the Trust Account or any funds distributed therefrom as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement and any negotiations, Contracts or agreements with Acquiror; provided that (x) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the Company’s right to pursue a claim against Acquiror for legal relief against monies or other assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the consummation of the transactions (including a claim for Acquiror to specifically perform its obligations under this Agreement and cause the disbursement of the balance of the cash remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to the Acquiror Share Redemptions) to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Trust Agreement) so long as such claim would not affect Acquiror’s ability to fulfill its obligation to effectuate the Acquiror Share Redemptions, or for fraud and (y) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims

(a)Organization; Due Authorization.   If such Sponsor is not an individual, it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, formed, organized or constituted, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Sponsor Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby are within such Sponsor’s corporate, limited liability company or organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company or organizational actions on the part of such Sponsor. If such Sponsor is an individual, such Sponsor has full legal capacity, right and authority to execute and deliver this Sponsor Agreement and to perform his or her obligations hereunder. This Sponsor Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Sponsor and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties to this Sponsor Agreement, this Sponsor Agreement constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of such Sponsor, enforceable against such Sponsor in accordance with the terms hereof (except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy Laws, other similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights and general principles of equity affecting the availability of specific performance and other equitable remedies). If this Sponsor Agreement is being executed in a representative or fiduciary capacity, the Person signing this Sponsor Agreement has full power and authority to enter into this Sponsor Agreement on behalf of the applicable Sponsor.

Other than

B-1-3

the Acquiror Warrants, such Sponsor does not hold or own any rights to acquire (directly or indirectly) any equity securities of Acquiror or any equity securities convertible into, or which can be exchanged for, equity securities of Acquiror.

(c)No Conflicts.   The execution and delivery of this Sponsor Agreement by such Sponsor does not, and the performance by such Sponsor of his, her or its obligations hereunder will not, (i) if such Sponsor is not an individual, conflict with or result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Sponsor or (ii) require any consent or approval that has not been given or other action that has not been taken by any Person (including under any Contract binding upon such Sponsor or such Sponsor’s shares of Acquiror Common Stock or Acquiror Warrants), in each case, to the extent such consent, approval or other action would prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by such Sponsor of its, his or her obligations under this Sponsor Agreement.

(d)Litigation.   There are no Actions pending against such Sponsor, or to the knowledge of such Sponsor threatened against such Sponsor, before (or, in the case of threatened Actions, that would be before) any arbitrator or any Governmental Authority, which in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by such Sponsor of its, his or her obligations under this Sponsor Agreement.

(e)Brokerage Fees.   Except as described on Section 5.13 of the Acquiror Disclosure Letter, no broker, finder, investment banker or other Person is entitled to any brokerage fee, finders’ fee or other commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement based upon arrangements made by such Sponsor, for which Acquiror or any of its Affiliates may become liable.

(f)Affiliate Arrangements.   Except as set forth on Schedule II attached hereto, neither such Sponsor nor any anyone related by blood, marriage or adoption to such Sponsor or, to the knowledge of such Sponsor, any Person in which such Sponsor has a direct or indirect legal, contractual or beneficial ownership of 5% or greater is party to, or has any rights with respect to or arising from, any Contract with Acquiror or its Subsidiaries.

(g)Acknowledgment.   Such Sponsor understands and acknowledges that each of Acquiror and the Company is entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon such Sponsor’s execution and delivery of this Sponsor Agreement.

Re:   Amendment to Sponsor Support Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to that certain Sponsor Support Agreement (the “Sponsor Agreement”), dated as of October 13, 2021, by and among each of the undersigned. Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined will have the same meaning as they were given in the Sponsor Agreement.

1. Each of the undersigned hereby agrees that, effective as of the date hereof, the Sponsor Agreement is hereby amended to add the following as Section 1.9 of the Sponsor Agreement:

Section 1.9    Exchange.

(a)Each Sponsor listed in the table below hereby agrees that, immediately prior to the consummation of the Domestication (but subject to the prior satisfaction of all of the conditions to consummation of the Transactions set forth in Article IX of the Merger Agreement), such Sponsor shall contribute, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to the Company, and the Company shall acquire and accept from such Sponsor, all of such Sponsor’s right, title, and interest in, to, and under such Sponsor’s Acquiror Class B Common Stock, and in exchange therefor, the Company shall issue to each such Sponsor the number of shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock set forth across from such Sponsor’s name in the table below (the “Exchange”):

Sponsor	Shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock
ACE Convergence Acquisition LLC	2,031,175
ACE SO5 Holdings Limited	485,325
Kai Yeung Sunny Siu	1,078,500

(b)No certificates will be issued in connection with the Exchange, and the Company will record the exchange of the Acquiror Class B Common Stock for the Acquiror Class A Common Stock that the Sponsors are acquiring pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 1.9 on its books and records. Following the Exchange, no shares of Acquiror Class B Common Stock shall be outstanding

(c)The Exchange shall be applicable only in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (including the Domestication and the Merger) and this Agreement, and the Exchange shall be void and of no force and effect if this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing.

2. Each of the undersigned hereby agrees that, effective as of the date hereof, the Sponsor Agreement is hereby amended to add the following as Article IV of the Sponsor Agreement:

ARTICLE IV

EARNOUT

Section 4.1   Earnout.

(a)Each Sponsor included in the table below (the “Earnout Sponsors”) hereby irrevocably agrees that, following the Exchange and at (and subject only to the occurrence of) the Closing, the Shares set forth opposite such Earnout Sponsor’s name below (as adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split or similar adjustment following the Closing) (the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”) will become restricted shares subject to the provisions set forth in Section 4.1(b). Subject to the limitations contemplated

B-2-1

therein, each Earnout Sponsor shall have all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to its Sponsor Earnout Shares, including the right to receive dividends and/or distributions made to the holders of Acquiror Common Stock and to voting rights generally granted to holders of Acquiror Common Stock.

Earnout Sponsor	Sponsor Earnout Shares
ACE Convergence Acquisition LLC	1,130,000

Any Sponsor Earnout Shares which fail to vest pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) will be automatically forfeited and transferred to the Company for no consideration to the Earnout Sponsors and no Person (other than the Company) will have any further right with respect thereto. In the event of a Strategic Transaction, the holders of any vested Sponsor Earnout Shares will be eligible to participate in such Strategic Transaction with respect to such Sponsor Earnout Shares on the same terms, and subject to the same conditions, as the other holders of shares of Acquiror Common Stock generally.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Each Company Stockholder shall be bound by and comply with Sections 6.5 (Acquisition Proposals) and 11.12 (Publicity) of the Merger Agreement (and any relevant definitions contained in any such Sections) as if (x) such Company Stockholder was an original signatory to the Merger Agreement with respect to such provisions, and (y) each reference to the “Company” contained in such provisions also referred to each such Company Stockholder.

Section 1.2   No Transfer.   During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the Expiration Time, each Company Stockholder shall not (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, file (or participate in the filing of) a registration statement with the SEC (other than the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement) or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, with respect to any Subject Shares, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Subject Shares (clauses (i) and (i) collectively, a “Transfer”) or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii); provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit a Transfer to an Affiliate of a Company Stockholder (a “Permitted Transfer”); provided, further, that any Permitted Transfer shall be permitted only if, as a precondition to such Transfer, the transferee also agrees in a writing, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Acquiror, to assume all of the obligations of such Company Stockholder under, and be bound by all of the terms of, this Agreement; provided, further, that any Transfer permitted under this Section 1.2 shall not relieve a Company Stockholder of its obligations under this Agreement.

REGISTRATIONS AND OFFERINGS

2.1   Shelf Registration.

2.1.1   Filing.   Within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, the Company shall submit to or file with the Commission a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-1 (the “Form S-1 Shelf”) or a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-3 (the “Form S-3 Shelf”), if the Company is then eligible to use a Form S-3 Shelf, in each case, covering the resale of all the Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) business days prior to such submission or filing) on a delayed or continuous basis and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such Shelf declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (a) the one hundred twentieth (120th) calendar day following the filing date thereof if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement and (b) the tenth (10th) business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. Such Shelf shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. The Company shall maintain a Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep a Shelf continuously effective, available for use to permit the Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. In the event the Company files a Form S-1 Shelf, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form S-1 Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement) to a Form S-3 Shelf as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form S-3. The Company’s obligation under this Section 2.1.1, shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Section 3.4.

2.1.2   Subsequent Shelf Registration.   If any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities are still outstanding, the Company shall, subject to Section 3.4, use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable cause such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including using its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or file an additional registration statement as a Shelf Registration (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement”) registering the resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) business days prior to such filing), and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) if the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) at the most recent applicable eligibility determination date) and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use to permit the Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 to the extent that the Company is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be on another appropriate form. The Company’s obligation under this Section 2.1.2, shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Section 3.4.

2.1.3   Additional Registrable Securities.   Subject to Section 3.4, in the event that any Holder holds Registrable Securities that are not registered for resale on a delayed or continuous basis, the Company, upon written request of Sponsor Holdco or a Tempo Holder, shall promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered by either, at the Company’s option, any then available Shelf or by filing a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement and cause the same to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing and such Shelf or Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be subject to the terms hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall only be required to cause such Registrable Securities to be so covered twice per calendar year for each of the Sponsor Holdco, on the one hand, and the Tempo Holders, on the other hand.

2.1.4   Requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns.   Subject to Section 3.4, at any time and from time to time when an effective Shelf is on file with the Commission, the Sponsor Holdco or a Tempo Holder (the Sponsor Holdco or a Tempo Holder being in such case, a “Demanding Holder”) may request to sell all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in an Underwritten

D-5

Offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided that the Company shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such offering shall include Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Demanding Holder, either individually or together with other Demanding Holders, with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $50 million (the “Minimum Takedown Threshold”). All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company, which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown. The Company shall have the right to select the Underwriters for such offering (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks), subject to the initial Demanding Holder’s prior approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Sponsor Holdco, on the one hand, and the Tempo Holders, on the other hand, may each demand not more than two (2) Underwritten Shelf Takedowns pursuant to this Section 2.1.4 in any twelve (12) month period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may effect any Underwritten Offering pursuant to any then effective Registration Statement, including a Form S-3, that is then available for such offering.

2.1.5   Reduction of Underwritten Offering.   If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, in good faith, advises the Company, the Demanding Holders and the Holders requesting piggy back rights pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown (the “Requesting Holders”) (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell and all other shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, that have been requested to be sold in such Underwritten Offering pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, before including any shares of Common Stock or other equity securities proposed to be sold by Company or by other holders of Common Stock or other equity securities, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata (as nearly as practicable) based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder and Requesting Holder (if any) has requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders have requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities. To facilitate the allocation of Registrable Securities in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the Underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 Registrable Securities. The Company shall not be required to include any Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown unless the Holders accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its Underwriters.

2.1.6   Withdrawal.   Prior to the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall have the right to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification (a “Withdrawal Notice”) to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown; provided that the Sponsor Holdco or a Tempo Holder may elect to have the Company continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if the Minimum Takedown Threshold would still be satisfied by the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown by the Sponsor Holdco, the Tempo Holders or any of their respective Permitted Transferees, as applicable. If withdrawn, a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall constitute a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown by the withdrawing Demanding Holder for purposes of Section 2.1.4, unless such Demanding Holder reimburses the Company for all Registration Expenses with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown (or, if there is more than one Demanding Holder, a pro rata portion of such Registration Expenses based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown); provided that, if the Sponsor Holdco or a Tempo Holder elects to continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, such Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall instead count as an Underwritten Shelf Takedown demanded by the Sponsor Holdco or such Tempo Holder, as applicable, for purposes of Section 2.1.4. Following the receipt of any Withdrawal Notice, the Company shall promptly forward such Withdrawal Notice to any other Holders that had elected to participate in such Shelf Takedown. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Shelf Takedown prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.1.6, other than if a Demanding Holder elects to pay such Registration Expenses pursuant to clause (ii) of the second sentence of this Section 2.1.6.

2.2   Piggyback Registration.

2.2.1   Piggyback Rights.   If the Company or any Holder proposes to conduct a registered offering of, or if the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Registration of, equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities, for its own account or for the account of stockholders of the Company (or by the Company and by the stockholders of the Company, including, without limitation, an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to Section 2.1), other than a Registration Statement (or any registered offering with respect thereto) (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto), (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company, or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed offering to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but not less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such offering, which notice shall (A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to include in such registered offering such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within five (5) days after receipt of such written notice (such registered offering, a “Piggyback Registration”). Subject to Section 2.2.2, the Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and, if applicable, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of such Piggyback Registration to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.2.1 to be included therein on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such registered offering and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The inclusion of any Holder’s Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Registration shall be subject to such Holder agreement to enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering.

2.2.2   Reduction of Piggyback Registration.   If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering that is to be a Piggyback Registration, in good faith, advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (i) the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, (ii) the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, and (iii) the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:

(a)if the Registration is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such Registration (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.2.1, pro rata (as nearly as practicable), based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;

(b)if the Registration is pursuant to a demand by persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall include in any such Registration (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting persons or entities, other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.2.1, pro rata (as nearly as practicable), based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering and the aggregate number of

D-7

Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and

(c)if the Registration and Underwritten Shelf Takedown is pursuant to a request by Holder(s) of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, then the Company shall include in any such Registration securities in the priority set forth in Section 2.1.5.

2.2.3   Piggyback Registration Withdrawal.   Any Holder of Registrable Securities (other than a Demanding Holder, whose right to withdraw from an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, and related obligations, shall be governed by Section 2.1.6) shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration or, in the case of a Piggyback Registration pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement with respect to such Piggyback Registration used for marketing such transaction. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons or entities pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (other than Section 2.1.6), the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.2.3.

2.2.4   Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights.   For purposes of clarity, subject to Section 2.1.6, any Piggyback Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall not be counted as a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown under Section 2.1.4 hereof.

2.3   Market Stand-off.   In connection with any Underwritten Offering of equity securities of the Company, if requested by the managing Underwriters, each Holder that is an executive officer or director of the Company or a Holder of more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding Common Stock (and for which it is customary for such a Holder to agree to a lock-up) agrees that it shall not Transfer any shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company (other than those included in such offering pursuant to this Agreement), without the prior written consent of the Company, during the ninety (90)-day period (or such shorter time agreed to by the managing Underwriters) beginning on the date of pricing of such offering, except as expressly permitted by such lock-up agreement or in the event the managing Underwriters otherwise agree by written consent. Each such Holder agrees to execute a customary lock-up agreement in favor of the Underwriters to such effect (in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as all such Holders).

ARTICLE III

COMPANY PROCEDURES

3.1   General Procedures.   In connection with any Shelf and/or Shelf Takedown, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such Registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended plan of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible:

3.1.1   prepare and file with the Commission as soon as practicable a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective until all Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities;

3.1.2   prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement, and such supplements to the Prospectus, as may be reasonably requested by any Holder that holds at least five percent (5%) of the Registrable Securities registered on such Registration Statement or any Underwriter of Registrable Securities or as may be required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company or by the Securities Act

D-8

or rules and regulations thereunder to keep the Registration Statement effective until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement are sold in accordance with the intended plan of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus;

3.1.3   prior to filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the Underwriters, if any, and the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration, and such Holders’ legal counsel, copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus), and such other documents as the Underwriters and the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration or the legal counsel for any such Holders may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holders;

3.1.4   prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may request (or provide evidence satisfactory to such Holders that the Registrable Securities are exempt from such registration or qualification) and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify or take any action to which it would be subject to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then otherwise so subject;

3.1.5   cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each national securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

3.1.6   provide a transfer agent or warrant agent, as applicable, and registrar for all such Registrable Securities no later than the effective date of such Registration Statement;

3.1.7   advise each seller of such Registrable Securities, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued;

3.1.8   prior to the filing of any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus (or such shorter period of time as may be (a) necessary in order to comply with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, as applicable or (b) advisable in order to reduce the number of days that sales are suspended pursuant to Section 3.4), furnish a copy thereof to each seller of such Registrable Securities or its counsel (excluding any exhibits thereto and any filing made under the Exchange Act that is to be incorporated by reference therein);

3.1.9   notify the Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes a Misstatement, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.4;

3.1.10   in the event of an Underwritten Offering or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent pursuant to such Registration, permit a representative of the Holders, the Underwriters or other financial institutions facilitating such Underwritten Offering or other sale pursuant to such Registration, if any, and any attorney, consultant or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter to participate, at each such person’s or entity’s own expense, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter, financial institution, attorney, consultant or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that such representatives, Underwriters or financial institutions agree to confidentiality arrangements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information;

D-9

3.1.11   use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a “comfort” letter (including a bring-down letter dated as of the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration) from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten Offering or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent pursuant to such Registration (subject to such broker, placement agent or sales agent providing such certification or representation reasonably requested by the Company’s independent registered public accountings and the Company’s counsel) in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “comfort” letters as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders;

3.1.12   in the event of an Underwritten Offering or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent pursuant to such Registration, on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the participating Holders, the broker, placement agents or sales agent, if any and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the participating Holders, broker, placement agent, sales agent or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions, provided such participating Holders provide such information to such counsel as is customarily required for purpose of such opinions;

3.1.13   in the event of any Underwritten Offering or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent pursuant to such Registration, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting or other purchase or sales agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing Underwriter or the broker, placement agent or sales agent of such offering or sale;

3.1.14   make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule then in effect);

3.1.15   with respect to an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.1.4, use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available senior executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter in such Underwritten Offering; and

3.1.16   otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the participating Holders, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in connection with such Registration.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to provide any documents or information to an Underwriter or broker, sales agent or placement agent if such Underwriter or broker, sales agent or placement agent has not then been named with respect to the applicable Underwritten Offering or other offering involving a registration as an Underwriter or broker, sales agent or placement agent, as applicable.

3.2   Registration Expenses.   The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.

3.3   Requirements for Participation in Registration Statement in Offerings.   The Holders of Registrable Securities shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested by the Company, or the managing Underwriter or placement agent or sales agent, if any, in connection with the preparation of any Registration Statement or Prospectus, including amendments and supplements thereto, in order to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to ARTICLE II and in connection with the Company’s obligation to comply with federal and applicable state securities laws. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Holder does not provide the Company with its requested Holder Information, the Company may exclude such Holder’s Registrable Securities from the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus if the Company determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such information is necessary to effect the registration and such Holder continues thereafter to withhold such information. No person or entity may participate in any Underwritten Offering or other offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person or entity (i) agrees to sell such person’s or entity’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting, sales, distribution or placement arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting or other agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such

D-10

underwriting, sales, distribution or placement arrangements. The exclusion of a Holder’s Registrable Securities as a result of this Section 3.3 shall not affect the registration of the other Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration.

3.4   Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure; Restrictions on Registration Rights.

3.4.1   Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed.

3.4.2   Subject to Section 3.4.4, if the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would (a) require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, (b) require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, or (c) in the good faith judgment of the majority of the Board such Registration, be seriously detrimental to the Company and the majority of the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer such filing, initial effectiveness or continued use at such time, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders (which notice shall not specify the nature of the event giving rise to such delay or suspension), delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under this Section 3.4.2, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities until such Holder receives written notice from the Company that such sales or offers of Registrable Securities may be resumed, and in each case maintain the confidentiality of such notice and its contents.

3.4.3   Subject to Section 3.4.4, (a) during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date one hundred and eighty (180) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated Registration, and provided that the Company continues to actively employ, in good faith, all reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the applicable Shelf Registration Statement, or (b) if, pursuant to Section 2.1.4, Holders have requested an Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the Company and Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite such offering, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay any other registered offering pursuant to Section 2.1.4.

3.4.4   The right to delay or suspend any filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 3.4.2 or a registered offering pursuant to Section 3.4.3 shall be exercised by the Company, in the aggregate, for not more than ninety (90) consecutive calendar days or more than one hundred and twenty (120) total calendar days in each case, during any twelve (12)-month period.

3.5   Reporting Obligations.   As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings; provided that any documents publicly filed or furnished with the Commission pursuant to the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System shall be deemed to have been furnished or delivered to the Holders pursuant to this Section 3.5. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule then in effect). Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

ARTICLE IV

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

4.1   Indemnification.

4.1.1   The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors and agents and each person or entity who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act), against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto filed pursuant to this Agreement or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each person or entity who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.

4.1.2   In connection with any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (the “Holder Information”) and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors, officers and agents and each person or entity who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement is contained in (or not contained in, in the case of an omission) any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person or entity who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.

4.1.3   Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or entity’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

4.1.4   The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

D-12

4.1.5   If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this Section 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 4.1.5. No person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 4.1.5 from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

5.10   Additional Holders; Joinder.   In addition to persons or entities who may become Holders pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof, subject to the prior written consent of the Sponsor Holdco and each Tempo Holder (in each case, so long as such Holder and its affiliates hold, in the aggregate, at least five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company), the Company may make any person or entity who has or acquires Common Stock or rights to acquire Common Stock after the date hereof a party to this Agreement (each such person or entity, an “Additional Holder”) by obtaining an executed joinder to this Agreement from such Additional Holder in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (a “Joinder”).

E-1

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, each of the Investor and Issuer acknowledges and agrees as follows:

1. Subscription; Additional Shares.

(a)The Investor hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from Issuer the number of Shares set forth on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement (the “Committed Shares”) on the terms and subject to the conditions provided for herein. Subject to the last sentence of Section 2(a), the Investor acknowledges and agrees that, as a result of the Domestication, the Committed Shares that will be issued pursuant hereto shall be shares of common stock in a Delaware corporation (and not shares in a Cayman Islands exempted company). [Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Subscription Agreement, if the Investor is an Eligible Investor (as defined below), if after the date of this Subscription Agreement the Investor acquires ownership of Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Issuer (the “Ordinary Shares”) in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions with third parties (along with any related rights to redeem or convert such Ordinary Shares in connection with the redemption conducted by the Issuer in accordance with the Issuer’s organizational documents and the final prospectus of the Issuer, dated as of July 27, 2020 and filed with the SEC (File No. 333-239716) on July 28, 2020, in conjunction with the closing of the Transaction (the “Redemption”)) at least five (5) business days prior to the Issuer’s extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to approve the Transaction and the Investor does not redeem or convert such Ordinary Shares in connection with the Redemption (including revoking any prior redemption or conversion elections made with respect to such Ordinary Shares) (such Ordinary Shares, “Non-Redeemed Shares”), the number of Shares the Investor (only if an Eligible Investor) is obligated to purchase under this Subscription Agreement shall be reduced by the number of Non-Redeemed Shares; provided, that promptly upon the Issuer’s request, the Investor will provide the Issuer with documentary evidence reasonably requested by the Issuer to evidence such Non-Redeemed Shares. The term “Eligible Investor” means any subscriber in the offering who is not a beneficial or record owner of the Company’s equity or an affiliate of the Issuer prior to the Initial Closing (as defined below).]¹

(b)In addition to the Committed Shares, the Investor shall be entitled to receive its Pro Rata Portion of up to 2,000,000 additional Shares (the “Incentive Shares”), as such amount may be reduced by the Non-Redemption Amount in accordance with Section 1(g), on the terms and subject to the conditions provided for herein as an incentive to subscribe for and purchase the Committed Shares. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, the Investor’s “Pro Rata Portion” shall equal a fraction (expressed as a percentage), the numerator of which is the total number of Committed Shares purchased by the Investor hereunder, and the denominator of which is the total number of Shares that are purchased by the Investor, the Other Investors and any other investors eligible to receive Incentive Shares. Investor’s receipt of the Incentive Shares is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 2 and in Section 3 below. Subject to the last sentence of Section 2(a), the Investor acknowledges and agrees that, as a result of the Domestication, the Incentive Shares that will be issued pursuant hereto shall be shares of common stock in a Delaware corporation (and not shares in a Cayman Islands exempted company).

(c)In the event that the Adjustment Period VWAP (as defined herein) is less than $10.00 per Share (as adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split or similar adjustment following the closing of the Transaction), Investor (or its permitted assigns) shall be entitled to receive from Issuer a number of additional Shares equal to (such additional shares, if any, the “Additional Shares”) (i) (A) (x) the number of Held Committed Shares (as defined herein) times (y) $10.00 (as adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split or similar adjustment following the closing of the Transaction) minus the Adjustment Period VWAP minus (B) the number of Incentive Shares times the Adjustment Period VWAP divided by (ii) the Adjustment Period VWAP. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Held Committed Shares” means the number of Committed Shares (as defined herein) issued to Investor at the closing of the subscription contemplated hereby (the “Initial Closing”) that Investor (or its permitted assigns) holds on the Measurement Date (as defined herein), it being understood that in the event Investor sells any Shares prior to the Measurement Date, such sales shall be deemed to have been first of Committed Shares and then of other Shares (including Incentive Shares). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no fraction of a Share will be issued pursuant to this Section 1(b), and if Investor (or its permitted assigns) would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a Share, the number of Additional Shares to be issued to Investor (or its permitted assigns) will instead be rounded down to the nearest whole Share, without payment in lieu of such fractional Share. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that, as a result of the Domestication, the Additional Shares, if any, issued pursuant hereto shall be shares of common stock in a Delaware corporation (and not shares in a Cayman Islands exempted company).

(d)For purposes of this Subscription Agreement: (i) the “Adjustment Period VWAP” means the higher of (x) the average of the VWAP of a Share, determined for each of the Trading Days during the Adjustment Period (as defined herein), and (y) $4.00 (as adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split or similar adjustment following the closing of the Transaction); (ii) the “Adjustment Period” means the thirty (30) calendar day period beginning on and including the Resale Shelf Effectiveness Date; (iii) “business day” means a day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York, New York or governmental authorities in the Cayman Islands (for so long as Issuer remains domiciled in Cayman Islands) are authorized or required by law to close; (iv) the “Measurement Date” means the last day of the Adjustment Period; (v) “Stock Exchange” means the securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Shares are then listed; (vi) “Trading Day” means any day on which (A) there is no VWAP Market Disruption Event and (B) trading in the Shares generally occurs on the Stock Exchange; provided, that, if the Shares are not so listed or traded on a Stock Exchange, then “Trading Day” means a business day; (vii) “VWAP Market Disruption Event” means, with respect to any date, (A) the failure by the Stock Exchange to open for trading during its regular trading session on such date or (B) the occurrence or existence, for more than a one half-hour period in the aggregate, of any suspension or limitation imposed on trading (by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by the relevant exchange or otherwise) in the Shares or in any options contracts or futures contracts relating to the Shares, and such suspension or limitation occurs or exists at any time before 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date; (viii) “VWAP” means, for any Trading Day, the per share volume weighted average price of the Shares as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on the applicable Bloomberg page (or, if such page is not available, its equivalent successor page) in respect of the period from the scheduled open of trading until the scheduled close of trading of the primary trading session on such Trading Day (or, if such volume weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one Share on such Trading Day, determined, using a volume weighted average price method, by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm selected by Issuer); and (ix) “Resale Shelf Effectiveness Date” means the date on which the initial Registration Statement (as defined herein) is declared effective by the Commission (as defined below). The VWAP will be determined without regard to after-hours trading or any other trading outside of the regular trading session.

(e)In the event that the Additional Period VWAP (as defined herein) is less than the Adjustment Period VWAP (as adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split or similar adjustment following the closing of the Transaction), Investor (or its permitted assigns) shall be entitled to receive from Issuer a number of additional Shares (such additional shares, if any, the “Additional Period Shares”) equal to the lesser of (1) such Investor’s respective Pro Rata Portion of up to 1,000,000 additional Shares (the “Additional Period Shares Pool”), as such amount may be reduced by the Non-Redemption Amount in accordance with Section 1(g), and (2) (i) (A) (x) the number of Additional Period Held Committed Shares (as defined herein) times (y) the Adjustment Period VWAP minus the Additional Period VWAP minus (B) the number of Incentive Shares times the Additional Period VWAP divided by (ii) the Additional Period VWAP. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Additional Period Held Committed Shares” means the number of Committed Shares issued to Investor at Initial Closing that Investor (or its permitted assigns) holds on the Additional Period Measurement Date (as defined herein), it being understood that in the event Investor sells any Shares prior to the Additional Period Measurement Date, such sales shall be deemed to have been first of Committed Shares and then of other Shares (including Incentive Shares). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no fraction of a Share will be issued pursuant to this Section 1(d), and if Investor (or its permitted assigns) would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a Share, the number of Additional Period Shares to be issued to Investor (or its permitted assigns) will instead be rounded down to the nearest whole Share, without payment in lieu of such fractional Share. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that, as a result of the Domestication, the Additional Period Shares, if any, issued pursuant hereto shall be shares of common stock in a Delaware corporation (and not shares in a Cayman Islands exempted company).

(g)In connection with the Transaction, Issuer may, prior to the Initial Closing, enter into one or more non-redemption agreements with one or more existing holders of Class A ordinary shares of Issuer, pursuant to which, among other things, Issuer may agree to issue additional Class A ordinary shares of Issuer or Shares (“Non-Redemption Shares”) to each such holder as a condition to and an inducement of such holder agreeing to not redeem or otherwise transfer prior to the closing of the Transaction all or a portion of the Class A ordinary shares it beneficially owns as of the date of such agreement (“Non-Redemption Agreements”). The number of shares constituting the Additional Period Shares Pool will be reduced by the number of Non-Redemption Shares that Issuer agrees to issue pursuant to such Non-Redemption Agreements; provided, that in no event shall the number of Shares constituting the Additional Period Shares Pool be reduced by more than 500,000 Shares (such amount, the “Non-Redemption Amount”). If the Non-Redemption Amount is greater than 500,000, then the number of Incentive Shares shall

E-3

be reduced by a number of Shares equal to the Non-Redemption Amount minus 500,000; provided, that in no event shall the number of Incentive Shares be reduced by more than 500,000 Shares.

(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 1(d) and (e), in the event that a Strategic Transaction closes during the fifteen (15)-month period beginning on the date of the Initial Closing, then the Additional Period Measurement Date shall be one day prior to the date of the closing of such Strategic Transaction and the Additional Period VWAP shall mean the actual Strategic Transaction Price. “Strategic Transaction Price” means the price per Share paid or payable to the holders of outstanding Shares, inclusive of any escrows, holdbacks or fixed deferred purchase price, but exclusive of any contingent deferred purchase price, earnouts or the like; provided that, if and to the extent such price is payable in whole or in part in the form of consideration other than cash, the value of such consideration shall be (a) with respect to any securities, (i) the average of the closing prices of the sales of such securities on all securities exchanges on which such securities are then listed, averaged over a period of thirty (30) Trading Days ending on the day as of which such value is being determined and the twenty-nine (29) consecutive days preceding such day, or (ii) if the information contemplated by the preceding clause (i) is not practically available, then the fair value of such securities as of the date of valuation as determined in accordance with the succeeding clause (b), and (b) with respect to any other non-cash assets, the fair value thereof as of the date of valuation, as determined by an independent, nationally recognized valuation firm reasonably selected by the Company, on the basis of an orderly sale to a willing, unaffiliated buyer in an arm’s-length transaction, taking into account all factors determinative of value as the investment banking firm determines relevant (and giving effect to any transfer taxes payable in connection with such sale).

2. Initial Closing; Additional Closing.

(a)The Initial Closing shall occur on a specified date (the “Initial Closing Date”) and is expected to be substantially concurrent with the consummation of the Transaction. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Section 2 and in Section 3 below, upon delivery of written notice from (or on behalf of) Issuer to the Investor (the “Closing Notice”), that Issuer reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Transaction to be satisfied or waived on an expected Initial Closing Date that is not less than ten (10) business days from the date on which the Closing Notice is delivered to the Investor, the Investor shall deliver to Issuer, ten (10) business days prior to the Initial Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, the Subscription Amount by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account(s) specified by Issuer in the Closing Notice. On the Initial Closing Date, Issuer shall issue the Committed Shares and the Incentive Shares against payment of the Subscription Amount to the Investor and cause the Committed Shares and the Incentive Shares to be registered in book entry form in the name of the Investor on Issuer’s share register (which book entry records shall contain an appropriate notation concerning transfer restrictions of the Committed Shares and the Incentive Shares, in accordance with applicable securities laws of the states of the United States and other applicable jurisdictions), and will provide to the Investor evidence of such issuance from Issuer’s transfer agent. Prior to or at the Initial Closing, Investor shall deliver to Issuer a duly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or appropriate Form W-8. In the event the consummation of the Transaction does not occur within five (5) business days after the Initial Closing Date under this Subscription Agreement, Issuer shall promptly (but not later than two (2) business days thereafter) return the Subscription Amount to the Investor by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Investor, and any book-entries for the Committed Shares and the Incentive Shares shall be deemed repurchased and cancelled; provided that, unless this Subscription Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Section 8 hereof, such return of funds shall not terminate this Subscription Agreement or relieve the Investor of its obligation to purchase the Committed Shares at the Initial Closing.

(b)If applicable, the issuance of the Additional Shares contemplated hereby (the “Additional Closing” and together with the Initial Closing, each, a “Closing”) shall occur on the fifth (5^th) business day following the Measurement Date (the “Additional Closing Date” and together with the Initial Closing Date, each, a “Closing Date”). On the Additional Closing Date, Issuer shall, upon satisfaction (or, if applicable, waiver) of the conditions set forth in Section 3, issue the Additional Shares to Investor and cause the Additional Shares to be registered in book entry form in the name of the Investor on Issuer’s share register (which book entry records shall contain an appropriate notation concerning transfer restrictions of the Additional Shares, in accordance with applicable securities laws of the states of the United States and other applicable jurisdictions), and will provide to the Investor evidence of such issuance from Issuer’s transfer agent.

7. Registration Rights.

(a)Issuer agrees that, within thirty (30) business days following the Initial Closing Date (such deadline, the “Initial Filing Deadline”), Issuer will submit to or file with the SEC a registration statement for a shelf registration on Form S-1 or Form S-3 (if Issuer is then eligible to use a Form S-3 shelf registration) (the “Initial Registration Statement”), in each case, covering the resale of the Committed Shares and the Incentive Shares acquired by the Investor pursuant to this Subscription Agreement which are eligible for registration (determined as of two business days prior to such submission or filing) (the “Committed Registrable Shares”). In the event that any Additional Shares issued to Investor pursuant to the terms of this Subscription Agreement are not permitted by the SEC to be registered on the Registration Statement, Issuer agrees that, within thirty (30) business days following the Additional Closing Date (the “Additional Filing Deadline” and, together with the Initial Filing Deadline, each, a “Filing Deadline”), Issuer will submit to or file with the SEC a registration statement for a shelf registration on Form S-1 or Form S-3 (if Issuer is then eligible to use a Form S-3 shelf registration) (an “Additional Registration Statement” and, together with the Initial Registration Statement, each, a “Registration Statement”), in each case, covering the resale of the Additional Shares acquired by the Investor pursuant to this Subscription Agreement which are eligible for registration (determined as of two business days prior to such submission or filing) (the “Additional Registrable Shares” and, together with the Committed Registrable Shares, the “Registrable Shares”). Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have each Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 120th calendar day following the filing date thereof if the SEC notifies Issuer that it will “review” the Registration Statement (including a limited review) and (ii) the 10th business day after the date Issuer is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Deadline”).

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Issuer’s obligations to include any Registrable Shares in a Registration Statement are contingent upon Investor furnishing in writing to Issuer such information regarding Investor or its permitted assigns, the securities of Issuer held by Investor and the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Shares (which shall be

E-10

limited to non-underwritten public offerings) as shall be reasonably requested by Issuer to effect the registration of such Registrable Shares at least five (5) business days in advance of the expected filing date of the applicable Registration Statement, and Investor shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as Issuer may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that Issuer shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of such Registration Statement, if applicable, during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder; provided that Investor shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Registrable Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents Issuer from including any or all of the Registrable Shares proposed to be registered under a Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 under the Securities Act for the resale of the Registrable Shares pursuant to this Section 7 by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Registrable Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Registrable Shares as is permitted to be registered by the SEC. In such event, the number of Registrable Shares to be registered for each selling stockholder named in such Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders. In the event Issuer amends the Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing, Issuer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, as promptly as allowed by the SEC, one or more registration statements to register the resale of those Registrable Shares that were not registered on the initial Registration Statement, as so amended. For as long as the Investor holds Registrable Shares, Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports for so long as the condition in Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) is required to be satisfied, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable the undersigned to resell the Registrable Shares pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act (in each case, when Rule 144 of the Securities Act becomes available to the Investor). Any failure by Issuer to file a Registration Statement by the applicable Filing Deadline or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Deadline with respect thereto shall not otherwise relieve Issuer of its obligations to file or effect the applicable Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 7.

(c)At its expense Issuer shall:

(i)except for such times as Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which Issuer determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to Investor, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (A) Investor ceases to hold any Registrable Shares, (B) the date all Registrable Shares held by Investor may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including, without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for Issuer to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), and (C) two (2) years from the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement (the period of time during which Issuer is required hereunder to keep a Registration Statement effective is referred to herein as the “Registration Period”);

(ii)   during the Registration Period, advise Investor, as expeditiously as practicable:

(1)when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC;

(2)after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

(3)of the receipt by Issuer of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

(4)subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Issuer shall not, when so advising Investor of such events, provide Investor with any material, nonpublic information regarding Issuer other than to the extent that providing

E-11

notice to Investor of the occurrence of the events listed in (1) through (4) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding Issuer;

(iii)   during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

(iv)   during the Registration Period, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 7(c)(ii)(4) above, except for such times as Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(v)   during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Shares to be listed on the Stock Exchange;

(vi)   during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow the Investor to review disclosure regarding the Investor in any Registration Statement; and

(vii)   during the Registration Period, otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Investor, consistent with the terms of this Subscription Agreement, in connection with the registration of the Registrable Shares.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, Issuer shall be entitled to delay the filing or effectiveness of, or suspend the use of, a Registration Statement if it determines that in order for such Registration Statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, (i) an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act, (ii) the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by Issuer or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event Issuer’s board of directors reasonably believes would require additional disclosure by Issuer in such Registration Statement of material information that Issuer has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in such Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of Issuer’s board of directors to cause such Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements, or (iii) in the good faith judgment of the majority of the members of Issuer’s board of directors, such filing or effectiveness or use of such Registration Statement, would be seriously detrimental to Issuer and the majority of the members of Issuer’s board of directors concludes as a result that it is essential to defer such filing (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that Issuer may not delay or suspend a Registration Statement on more than three occasions or for more than ninety (90) consecutive calendar days, or more than one hundred and twenty (120) total calendar days in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from Issuer of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that a Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event a Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in light of the circumstances under which they were made, in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Investor agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Shares under such Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until Investor receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which Issuer agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by Issuer that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by Issuer unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by Issuer, Investor will deliver to Issuer or, in Investor’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Shares in Investor’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Shares shall not apply (A) to the extent Investor is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (1) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (2) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (B) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

(e)Indemnification.

E-12

(i)Issuer agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, Investor (to the extent a seller under any Registration Statement), its directors, officers and each person who controls Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act), to the extent permitted by law, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented outside attorneys’ fees of one law firm (and one firm of local counsel)) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement (“Prospectus”) or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to Issuer by or on behalf of such Investor expressly for use therein.

(ii)   In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, such Investor shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) to Issuer in writing such information and affidavits as Issuer reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify Issuer, its directors and officers and each person or entity who controls Issuer (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained (or not contained in, in the case of an omission) in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by on behalf of such Investor expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the liability of such Investor shall be several and not joint with any Other Investor and shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of Registrable Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(iii)   Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (A) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or entity’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (B) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(iv)   The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.

(v)   If the indemnification provided under this Section 7(d) from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that the liability of the Investor shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of Registrable Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by, in the case of an omission), such

E-13

indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 7(d)(i), (ii) and (iii) above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 7(d)(v) from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

8.Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earliest to occur of (a) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms without being consummated, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) if the conditions to the Initial Closing set forth in Section 3 of this Subscription Agreement are not satisfied, or are not capable of being satisfied, on or prior to the Initial Closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement to be consummated at the Initial Closing will not be or are not consummated at the Initial Closing and (iv) the Agreement End Date (as defined in the Transaction Agreement and as it may be extended as described therein) if the Initial Closing has not occurred by such date; provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such willful breach. Issuer shall notify the Investor of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement. Upon the termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with this Section 8, any monies paid by the Investor to Issuer in connection herewith shall be promptly (and in any event within one business day after such termination) returned to the Investor.

9.Investor Covenant.  Investor hereby agrees that, from the date of this Subscription Agreement, none of Investor, its controlled affiliates, or any person or entity acting on behalf of Investor or any of its controlled affiliates or pursuant to any understanding with Investor or any of its controlled affiliates will engage in any Short Sales with respect to securities of Issuer prior to the Additional Closing Date. For purposes of this Section 9, “Short Sales” shall include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges (other than pledges in the ordinary course of business as part of prime brokerage arrangements), forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing herein shall prohibit other entities under common management with Investor that have no knowledge of this Subscription Agreement or of Investor’s participation in the Transaction (including Investor’s controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) from entering into any Short Sales and (ii) in the case of an Investor that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Investor’s assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Investor’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares covered by this Subscription Agreement.

10.Trust Account Waiver.  The Investor acknowledges that Issuer is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving Issuer and one or more businesses or assets. The Investor further acknowledges that, as described in Issuer’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated July 27, 2020 (the “IPO Prospectus”) available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of Issuer’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of Issuer’s initial public offering and private placement of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of Issuer, its public shareholders and the underwriter of Issuer’s initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to Issuer to pay its tax obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the IPO Prospectus. For and in consideration of Issuer entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Investor hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind it has or may have in the future, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and irrevocably agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement. Investor agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Subscription Agreement and specifically relied upon by Issuer and its affiliates to induce Issuer to enter in this Subscription Agreement, and each such party further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against the Investor and its affiliates under applicable law. To the extent Investor commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Issuer or its affiliates, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against Issuer or its affiliates, the Investor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Investor’s sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit the

E-14

Investor (or any person claiming on any of their behalves or in lieu of any of the Investor) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein and in the event of any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Issuer or its affiliates, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) in violation of this Subscription Agreement, Issuer shall be entitled to recover from the Investor and its affiliates, the associated legal fees and costs in connection with any such action, in the event Issuer or its affiliates, as applicable, prevails in such action or proceeding. Notwithstanding any else in this Section 10, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the Investor’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of the Investor’s record or beneficial ownership of any equity interests in Issuer acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

11. Miscellaneous.

(a)Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Investor hereunder (other than the Shares acquired hereunder, if any) may be transferred or assigned; provided that the Investor may assign its rights and obligations under this Subscription Agreement to one or more of its affiliates (including other investment funds or accounts managed or advised by the investment manager who acts on behalf of the Investor or an affiliate thereof); provided, further, that no such assignment shall relieve the Investor of its obligations hereunder.

(b)Issuer may request from the Investor such additional information as Issuer may deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Shares and in connection with the inclusion of the Shares in the Registration Statement, and the Investor shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested. The Investor acknowledges that Issuer may file a copy of this Subscription Agreement with the SEC as an exhibit to a current or periodic report or a registration statement of Issuer.

(c)The Investor acknowledges that Issuer and the Placement Agents (as third party beneficiaries with the right to enforce Section 4, Section 5, Section 6, Section 10, and Section 11 hereof on their own behalf and not, for the avoidance of doubt, on behalf of Issuer) will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Investor contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Additional Closing, the Investor agrees to promptly notify Issuer and the Placement Agents if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Investor set forth herein are no longer accurate. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that each purchase by the Investor of Shares from Issuer will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties herein (as modified by any such notification) by the Investor as of the time of such purchase.

(d)Issuer, the Placement Agent and the Investor are each entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and each is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

(e)All of the representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement shall survive each Closing. All of the covenants and agreements made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive each Closing until the applicable statute of limitations or in accordance with their respective terms, if a shorter period.

(f)This Subscription Agreement may not be modified, waived or terminated (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 8 above) except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties hereto. No failure or delay of either party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties and third party beneficiaries hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.

(g)This Subscription Agreement (including the schedule hereto) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as set forth in Section 11(c) with respect to the persons referenced therein, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successor and assigns.

(h)Except as otherwise provided herein, this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the

E-15

agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

(i)If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.

(j)This Subscription Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by electronic mail or in .pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.

(k)The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Subscription Agreement, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages, to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Company shall be entitled to specifically enforce the Investor’s obligations to fund the Subscription Amount and the provisions of the Subscription Agreement of which the Company is an express third party beneficiary, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

(l)THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (OR, TO THE EXTENT SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW YORK) SOLELY IN RESPECT OF THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT AND THE DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO IN THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT AND IN RESPECT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND HEREBY WAIVE, AND AGREE NOT TO ASSERT, AS A DEFENSE IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING FOR INTERPRETATION OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF OR ANY SUCH DOCUMENT THAT IS NOT SUBJECT THERETO OR THAT SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING MAY NOT BE BROUGHT OR IS NOT MAINTAINABLE IN SAID COURTS OR THAT VENUE THEREOF MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE OR THAT THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR ANY SUCH DOCUMENT MAY NOT BE ENFORCED IN OR BY SUCH COURTS, AND THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED BY SUCH A NEW YORK STATE OR FEDERAL COURT.

THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE REQUIRED THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER STATE.

(m)EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT.

12.Non-Reliance and Exculpation.  The Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation (including, without limitation, the Placement Agents, any of their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), other than the statements, representations and warranties of Issuer expressly contained in Section 5 of this Subscription Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in Issuer. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that none of (i) any Other Investor pursuant to this Subscription Agreement or any Other Subscription Agreement (including the Investor’s affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing) or (ii) the Placement Agents, their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing, shall have any liability to the Investor or to any Other Investor pursuant to, arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement or any Other Subscription Agreement, the negotiation hereof or thereof or its subject matter, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including, without limitation, with respect to any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Shares or with respect to any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) for breach of this Subscription Agreement or in respect of any written or oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith, as expressly provided herein, or for any actual or alleged inaccuracies, misstatements or omissions with respect to any information or materials of any kind furnished by the Issuer, the Company, the Placement Agents or any Non-Party Affiliate (as defined below) concerning the Issuer, the Company, the Placement Agents, any of their respective controlled affiliates, this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “Non-Party Affiliates” means each former, current or future officer, director, employee, partner, member, manager, direct or indirect equityholder or affiliate of the Issuer, the Company, any Placement Agent or any of the Issuer’s, the Company’s or the Placement Agents’ controlled affiliates or any family member of the foregoing.

13.Press Releases.  All press releases or other public communications relating to the transactions contemplated hereby between Issuer and the Investor, and the method of the release for publication thereof, shall prior to the Additional Closing be subject to the prior approval of (i) Issuer, and (ii) to the extent such press release or public communication references the Investor or its affiliates or investment advisers by name, the Investor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned; provided that neither Issuer nor the Investor shall be required to obtain consent pursuant to this Section 13 to the extent any proposed release or statement is substantially equivalent to the information that has previously been made public without breach of the obligation under this Section 13. The restriction in this Section 13 shall not apply to the extent the public announcement is required by applicable securities law, any governmental authority or Stock Exchange rule; provided that in such an event, the applicable party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other party in advance as to its form, content and timing.

SCHEDULE A

ELIGIBILITY REPRESENTATIONS OF THE INVESTOR

A. QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER STATUS
(Please check the applicable subparagraphs):

☐ We are a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act).

B. INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITED INVESTOR STATUS
(Please check the applicable subparagraphs):

1. ☐ We are an “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act) or an entity in which all of the equity holders are accredited investors within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act, and have marked and initialed the appropriate box on the following page indicating the provision under which we qualify as an “accredited investor.”

(x) the exercise of stock options or warrants to purchase shares of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock or the vesting of stock awards of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock and any related transfer of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock in connection therewith (x) deemed to occur upon the “cashless” or “net” exercise of such options or warrants or (y) for the purpose of paying the exercise price of such options or warrants or for paying taxes due as a result of the exercise of such options or warrants, the vesting of such options, warrants or stock awards, or as a result of the vesting of such shares of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock, it being understood that all shares of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock received upon such exercise, vesting or transfer will remain subject to the restrictions of this Agreement during the Lock-Up Period;

F-2

provided, however, that (A) in the case of clauses (i) through (vii), these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement, in substantially the form of this Agreement (it being understood that any references to “immediate family” in the agreement executed by such transferee shall expressly refer only to the immediate family of the applicable Securityholder and not to the immediate family of the transferee), agreeing to be bound by these Transfer restrictions. For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family” shall mean a spouse, domestic partner, child (including by adoption), father, mother, brother or sister of the undersigned, and lineal descendant (including by adoption) of the undersigned or of any of the foregoing persons; and “affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

3.In the event that the Company releases or waives, in full or in part, any party from a lock-up agreement entered into in connection with the Closing of the Merger, then the same number of Lock-up Shares held by the undersigned as held by such released party shall be immediately and fully released on the same terms from the applicable prohibition(s) set forth herein. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph will not apply if (i) the release or waiver is granted to a holder of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock in connection with a follow-on public offering of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement filed with the SEC, whether or not such offering or sale is wholly or partially a secondary offering of the Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock, and the undersigned, only to the extent the undersigned has a contractual right to demand or require the registration of the undersigned’s Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock or “piggyback” on a registration statement filed by the Company for the offer and sale of its Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock, has been given an opportunity to participate on a basis consistent with such contractual rights in such follow-on offering, (ii)(a) the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration and (b) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this letter to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer, (iii) the aggregate number of Lock-Up Shares affected by such releases or waivers (whether in one or multiple releases or waivers) with respect to any particular beneficial or record holder of Lock-Up Shares is less than or equal to 1% of the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock then-outstanding (on a fully-diluted basis, calculated as of the date of such release or waiver), or (iv) the Company determines in its sole discretion that a release or waiver should be granted to a record or beneficial holder of Lock-Up Shares due to circumstances of emergency or hardship. In the event that the Company changes, amends, modifies or waives (other than to correct a typographical error) any particular provision of any other lock-up agreement entered into in connection with the closing of the Merger, then the undersigned shall be offered the option (but not the requirement) to make a corresponding change, amendment, modification or waiver to this Agreement.

4.This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, (ii) the closing of a merger, liquidation, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction after the Closing date of the Merger that results in all of the public stockholders of the Company having the right to exchange their shares of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock for cash securities or other property, (iii) the day after the date on which the closing price of the Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing date of the Merger or (iv) the liquidation of the Company.

5.In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company, and any duly appointed transfer agent for the registration or transfer of the securities described therein, are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement.

6.This Agreement replaces Section 7(a) of that certain Letter Agreement, dated July 27, 2020, among the Company, ACE Convergence Acquisition LLC, and the Company’s officers and directors, which Section 7(a) shall be terminated and, to the extent previously applicable to a Securityholder, of no further effect with respect to such Securityholder upon the Closing of the Merger, and constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby.

7.This Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part, only by a duly authorized agreement in writing, executed by the Company and the Securityholders holding a majority of the shares then held by the Securityholders in the aggregate as to which this Agreement has not been terminated, executed in the same manner as this Agreement and which makes reference to this Agreement. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence and any purported amendment by any party or parties hereto effected in a manner which does not comply with this Section 7 shall be null and void, ab initio.

8.Except as set forth herein, no party hereto may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall be void

F-3

and ineffectual and shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest or title to the purported assignee. This Agreement shall be binding on each Securityholder and each of its respective successors, heirs and assigns and permitted transferees.

9.This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. The parties hereto (i) all agree that any action, proceeding, claim or dispute arising out of, or relating in any way to, this Agreement shall be brought and enforced in the Delaware Chancery Court, and irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction and venue, which jurisdiction and venue shall be exclusive and (ii) waive any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and venue or that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.

10.This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement or any joinder to this Agreement by electronic means, including DocuSign, e-mail, or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

11.Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible

12.The liability of any Securityholder hereunder is several (and not joint). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event will any Securityholder be liable for any other Securityholder’s breach of such other Securityholder’s obligations under this Agreement.

Immediately after the Offering, a certain amount of the net offering proceeds received by the Company in the Offering (including the proceeds of any exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option) and certain other amounts specified in the Registration Statement shall be deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), established for the benefit of Public Shareholders pursuant to a trust agreement described in the Registration Statement. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to pay income taxes, if any, the funds held in the Trust Account will not be released from the Trust Account

G-5

until the earliest to occur of: (1) the completion of an initial Business Combination; (2) the redemption of any Offering Shares properly submitted in connection with a Shareholder vote to amend these Articles (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with an initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination by October 13, 2022, or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to Shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; and (3) the redemption of the Offering Shares if the Company has not completed an initial Business Combination by October 13, 2022, or such later time as the Members may approve in accordance with these Articles, subject to applicable law.

14. Prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, the Company shall provide all Public Shareholders with the opportunity to have their Offering Shares redeemed upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination pursuant to, and subject to the limitations of, Articles 15 and 16 (such rights of such holders to have their Offering Shares redeemed being the “Redemption Rights”) hereof for cash equal to the applicable redemption price per share determined in accordance with Article 15 (the “Redemption Price”); provided, however, that the Company shall not redeem or repurchase Offering Shares to the extent that such redemption would result in the Company’s net tangible assets being less than US $5,000,001 or such greater amount as the Board of Directors may determine may be necessary to satisfy any closing condition to any initial Business Combination (such limitation hereinafter called the “Redemption Limitation”).

15. If the Company offers to redeem the Offering Shares other than in conjunction with a Shareholder vote on an initial Business Combination with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act and filing proxy materials with the Commission, the Company shall offer to redeem the Offering Shares upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, in accordance with the provisions of Article 14 pursuant to a tender offer in accordance with Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E under the Exchange Act (such rules and regulations hereinafter called the “Tender Offer Rules”) which it shall commence prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination and shall file tender offer documents with the Commission prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination that contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial Business Combination and the Redemption Rights as is required under Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act (such rules and regulations hereinafter called the “Proxy Solicitation Rules”), even if such information is not required under the Tender Offer Rules; provided, however, that if a Shareholder vote is required to approve the proposed initial Business Combination, or the Company decides to submit the proposed initial Business Combination to the Public Shareholders for their approval, the Company shall offer to redeem the Offering Shares, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, in accordance with the provisions of Article 14 hereof in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the Proxy Solicitation Rules (and not the Tender Offer Rules) at a price per share equal to the Redemption Price calculated in accordance with the following provisions of this Article 15. In the event that the Company offers to redeem the Offering Shares pursuant to a tender offer in accordance with the Tender Offer Rules or in conjunction with a Shareholder vote on the proposed initial Business Combination pursuant to a proxy solicitation, the Redemption Price per share of the Offering Shares payable to holders of the Offering Shares tendering their Offering Shares pursuant to such tender offer shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing: (i) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable) by (ii) the total number of then issued and outstanding Offering Shares. Unless extended by the Company in its sole discretion, holders of Offering Shares seeking to exercise their redemption rights will be required to either tender their certificates (if any) to the Company’s transfer agent prior to the date set forth in the tender offer documents or proxy materials mailed to such holders, or up to two business days prior to the scheduled vote on the proposal to approve our initial Business Combination in the event we distribute proxy materials, or to deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System, at the holder’s option, rather than simply voting against the initial Business Combination. The tender offer or proxy materials, as applicable, that will be furnished to holders of Offering Shares in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination will indicate whether the Company is requiring Public Shareholders to satisfy such delivery requirements, which will include the requirement that a beneficial holder must identify itself in order to validly redeem its Shares.

16. If the Company offers to redeem the Offering Shares in conjunction with a Shareholder vote on an initial Business Combination pursuant to a proxy solicitation, 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(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), shall be restricted from seeking Redemption Rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Offering Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

G-6

17. In the event that the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination by October 13, 2022, or such later time as the Members may approve in accordance with these Articles, the Company shall (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 subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the Offering Shares in consideration of a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay its income taxes (less up to US$100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then issued and outstanding Offering Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the Public Shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining Public Shareholders and the Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under the Companies Law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.

18. If the Company offers to redeem the Offering Shares in conjunction with a Shareholder vote on an initial Business Combination, the Company shall consummate the proposed initial Business Combination only if (i) it is approved by an Ordinary Resolution, and (ii) the Redemption Limitation is not exceeded.

19. If the Company conducts a tender offer pursuant to Article 15, the Company shall consummate the proposed initial Business Combination only if the Redemption Limitation is not exceeded.

20. A Public Shareholder shall be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only as provided in Articles 14, 15, 16, 17 or 23 of these Articles. In no other circumstances shall a Public Shareholder have any right or interest of any kind in or to distributions from the Trust Account, and no Shareholder other than a Public Shareholder shall have any interest in or to the Trust Account.

21. Each Shareholder that does not properly exercise its Redemption Rights shall retain its Shares in the Company and shall be deemed to have given its consent to the release of the remaining funds in the Trust Account to the Company, and following payment to any Public Shareholders exercising their Redemption Rights, the remaining funds in the Trust Account shall be released to the Company.

22. The exercise by a Shareholder of its Redemption Rights shall be conditioned on such Shareholder following the specific procedures for redemptions set forth by the Company in any applicable tender offer or proxy materials sent to the Public Shareholders relating to the proposed initial Business Combination. Payment of the amounts necessary to satisfy the Redemption Rights properly exercised shall be made as promptly as practical after the consummation of the initial Business Combination.

23. If, in accordance with Article 14, any amendment is made to these Articles (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 the Offering Shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination by October 13, 2022, or (ii) with respect to any other provision of these Articles relating to Public Shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, the Public Shareholders shall be provided with the opportunity to redeem their Offering Shares upon the approval of any such amendment, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay its income taxes, divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Offering Shares. The Company’s ability to provide such opportunity is subject to the Redemption Limitation.

24. The Company’s initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting discounts and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination.

25. The Company may enter into a Business Combination with a Target Business that is affiliated with the Sponsor, the Directors or officers of the Company. In the event the Company seeks to complete an initial Business Combination with such a target, the Company, or a committee of independent and disinterested Directors, shall obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm which is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or an independent accounting firm that such Business Combination is fair to the Company from a financial point of view. The

G-7

Company will not effectuate its initial Business Combination solely with another blank check company or a similar company with nominal operations.

26. After the issue of Shares in connection with the Offering and prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, the Company shall not issue additional Shares or any other securities that that would entitle the holders thereof to (i) receive funds from the Trust Account or (ii) vote as a class with the Offering Shares in respect of any initial Business Combination.

MODIFICATION OF RIGHTS

27. Whenever the capital of the Company is divided into different Classes (and as otherwise determined by the Directors) the rights attached to any such Class may, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any Class only be materially adversely varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the issued Shares of the relevant Class, or with the sanction of a resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the Shares of such Class by a majority of two-thirds of the votes cast at such a meeting (other than with respect to a waiver of the provisions of the Class B Share Conversion Article hereof, which as stated therein shall only require the consent in writing of the holders of a majority of the issued Shares of that class). To every such separate meeting all the provisions of these Articles relating to general meetings of the Company or to the proceedings thereat shall, mutatis mutandis, apply, except that the necessary quorum shall be one or more Persons at least holding or representing by proxy one-third in nominal or par value amount of the issued Shares of the relevant Class (but so that if at any adjourned meeting of such holders a quorum as above defined is not present, those Shareholders who are present shall form a quorum) and that, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to the Shares of that Class, every Shareholder of the Class shall on a poll have one vote for each Share of the Class held by him. For the purposes of this Article the Directors may treat all the Classes or any two or more Classes as forming one Class if they consider that all such Classes would be affected in the same way by the proposals under consideration, but in any other case shall treat them as separate Classes. The Directors may vary the rights attaching to any Class without the consent or approval of Shareholders provided that the rights will not, in the determination of the Directors, be materially adversely varied or abrogated by such action.

28. The rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any Class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to the Shares of that Class, be deemed to be materially adversely varied or abrogated by, inter alia, the creation, allotment or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu with or subsequent to them or the redemption or purchase of any Shares of any Class by the Company.

CERTIFICATES

29. Every Person whose name is entered as a member in the Register shall, without payment, be entitled to a certificate within two months after allotment or lodgement of transfer (or within such other period as the conditions of issue shall provide or as any Designated Stock Exchange may from time to time determine) in the form determined by the Directors. All certificates shall specify the Share or Shares held by that person and the amount paid up thereon, provided that in respect of a Share or Shares held jointly by several persons the Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate, and delivery of a certificate for a Share to one of several joint holders shall be sufficient delivery to all. All certificates for Shares shall be delivered personally or sent through the post addressed to the member entitled thereto at the Member’s registered address as appearing in the Register.

30. Every share certificate of the Company shall bear legends required under the applicable laws, including the Securities Act.

31. Any two or more certificates representing Shares of any one Class held by any Member may at the Member’s request be cancelled and a single new certificate for such Shares issued in lieu on payment (if the Directors shall so require) of US$1 or such smaller sum as the Directors shall determine.

32. If a share certificate shall be damaged or defaced or alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, a new certificate representing the same Shares may be issued to the relevant Member upon request subject to delivery up of the old certificate or (if alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed) compliance with such conditions as to evidence and indemnity and the payment of out-of-pocket expenses of the Company in connection with the request as the Directors may think fit.

G-8

33. In the event that Shares are held jointly by several persons, any request may be made by any one of the joint holders and if so made shall be binding on all of the joint holders.

FRACTIONAL SHARES

34. The Directors may issue fractions of a Share and, if so issued, a fraction of a Share shall be subject to and carry the corresponding fraction of liabilities (whether with respect to nominal or par value, premium, contributions, calls or otherwise), limitations, preferences, privileges, qualifications, restrictions, rights (including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, voting and participation rights) and other attributes of a whole Share. If more than one fraction of a Share of the same Class is issued to or acquired by the same Shareholder such fractions shall be accumulated.

LIEN

35. The Company has a first and paramount lien on every Share (whether or not fully paid) for all amounts (whether presently payable or not) payable at a fixed time or called in respect of that Share. The Company also has a first and paramount lien on every Share (whether or not fully paid) registered in the name of a Person indebted or under liability to the Company (whether he is the sole registered holder of a Share or one of two or more joint holders) for all amounts owing by him or his estate to the Company (whether or not presently payable). The Directors may at any time declare a Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The Company’s lien on a Share extends to any amount payable in respect of it.

36. The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors may determine, any Share on which the Company has a lien, but no sale shall be made unless an amount in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable nor until the expiration of fourteen days after a notice in writing, demanding payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, has been given to the registered holder for the time being of the Share, or the Persons entitled thereto by reason of his death or bankruptcy.

37. For giving effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise some Person to transfer the Shares sold to the purchaser thereof. The purchaser shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the sale.

38. The proceeds of the sale after deduction of expenses, fees and commission incurred by the Company shall be received by the Company and applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, and the residue shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares prior to the sale) be paid to the Person entitled to the Shares immediately prior to the sale.

CALLS ON SHARES

39. The Directors may from time to time make calls upon the Shareholders in respect of any moneys unpaid on their Shares, and each Shareholder shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen days’ notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on such Shares.

40. The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay calls in respect thereof.

41. If a sum called in respect of a Share is not paid before or on the day appointed for payment thereof, the Person from whom the sum is due shall pay interest upon the sum at the rate of eight percent per annum from the day appointed for the payment thereof to the time of the actual payment, but the Directors shall be at liberty to waive payment of that interest wholly or in part.

42. The provisions of these Articles as to the liability of joint holders and as to payment of interest shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the amount of the Share, or by way of premium, as if the same had become payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

G-9

43. The Directors may make arrangements on the issue of partly paid Shares for a difference between the Shareholders, or the particular Shares, in the amount of calls to be paid and in the times of payment.

44. The Directors may, if they think fit, receive from any Shareholder willing to advance the same all or any part of the moneys uncalled and unpaid upon any partly paid Shares held by him, and upon all or any of the moneys so advanced may (until the same would, but for such advance, become presently payable) pay interest at such rate (not exceeding without the sanction of an Ordinary Resolution, eight percent per annum) as may be agreed upon between the Shareholder paying the sum in advance and the Directors.

FORFEITURE OF SHARES

45. If a Shareholder fails to pay any call or instalment of a call in respect of any Shares on the day appointed for payment, the Directors may, at any time thereafter during such time as any part of such call or instalment remains unpaid, serve a notice on him requiring payment of so much of the call or instalment as is unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued.

46. The notice shall name a further day (not earlier than the expiration of fourteen days from the date of the notice) on or before which the payment required by the notice is to be made, and shall state that in the event of non-payment at or before the time appointed the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

47. If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any Share in respect of which the notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before the payment required by notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors to that effect.

48. A forfeited Share may be sold or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit, and at any time before a sale or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit.

49. A Person whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Shareholder in respect of the forfeited Shares, but shall, notwithstanding, remain liable to pay to the Company all moneys which at the date of forfeiture were payable by him to the Company in respect of the Shares forfeited, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company receives payment in full of the amount unpaid on the Shares forfeited.

50. A statutory declaration in writing that the declarant is a Director, and that a Share has been duly forfeited on a date stated in the declaration, shall be conclusive evidence of the facts in the declaration as against all Persons claiming to be entitled to the Share.

51. The Company may receive the consideration, if any, given for a Share on any sale or disposition thereof pursuant to the provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture and may execute a transfer of the Share in favour of the Person to whom the Share is sold or disposed of and that Person shall be registered as the holder of the Share, and shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the disposition or sale.

52. The provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which by the terms of issue of a Share becomes due and payable, whether on account of the amount of the Share, or by way of premium, as if the same had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

TRANSFER OF SHARES

53. Subject to these Articles, the rules or regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange or any relevant securities laws (including, but not limited to the Exchange Act) and any agreements entered into by Shareholders containing restrictions and limitations for transfer of certain Shares, a Shareholder may transfer all or any of his or her Shares.

54. The instrument of transfer of any Share shall be in (i) any usual or common form; (ii) such form as is prescribed by the Designated Stock Exchange; or (iii) in any other form as the Directors may determine and may be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and if in respect of a nil or partly paid up Share, or if so required by the Directors, shall also be executed on behalf of the transferee and shall be accompanied by the certificate (if any) of the Shares to which it relates

G-10

and such other evidence as the Directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer. The transferor shall be deemed to remain a Shareholder until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register in respect of the relevant Shares.

55. Subject to the terms of issue thereof and the rules or regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange or any relevant securities laws (including, but not limited to the Exchange Act), the Directors may determine to decline to register any transfer of Shares without assigning any reason therefor.

56. The registration of transfers may be suspended at such times and for such periods as the Directors may from time to time determine.

57. All instruments of transfer that are registered shall be retained by the Company, but any instrument of transfer that the Directors decline to register shall (except in any case of fraud) be returned to the Person depositing the same.

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

58. The legal personal representative of a deceased sole holder of a Share shall be the only Person recognised by the Company as having any title to the Share. In the case of a Share registered in the name of two or more holders, the survivors or survivor, or the legal personal representatives of the deceased holder of the Share, shall be the only Person recognised by the Company as having any title to the Share.

59. Any Person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Shareholder shall upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Directors, have the right either to be registered as a Shareholder in respect of the Share or, instead of being registered himself, to make such transfer of the Share as the deceased or bankrupt Person could have made; but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the deceased or bankrupt Person before the death or bankruptcy.

60. A Person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy of a Shareholder shall be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the registered Shareholder, except that he shall not, before being registered as a Shareholder in respect of the Share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to meetings of the Company.

ALTERATION OF SHARE CAPITAL

61. The Company may from time to time by Ordinary Resolution increase the share capital by such sum, to be divided into Shares of such Classes and amount, as the resolution shall prescribe.

62. The Company may by Ordinary Resolution:

(a) consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into Shares of a larger amount than its existing Shares;

(b) convert all or any of its paid up Shares into stock and reconvert that stock into paid up Shares of any denomination;

(c) subdivide its existing Shares, or any of them into Shares of a smaller amount provided that in the subdivision the proportion between the amount paid and the amount, if any, unpaid on each reduced Share shall be the same as it was in case of the Share from which the reduced Share is derived; and

(d) cancel any Shares that, at the date of the passing of the resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any Person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the Shares so cancelled.

63. The Company may by Special Resolution reduce its share capital and any capital redemption reserve in any manner authorised by law.

G-11

REDEMPTION, PURCHASE AND SURRENDER OF SHARES

64. Subject to the Companies Law, the rules or regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange or any relevant securities laws (including, but not limited to the Exchange Act), the Company may:

(a) issue Shares on terms that they are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at the option of the Company or the Shareholder on such terms and in such manner as the Directors may determine;

(b) purchase its own Shares (including any redeemable Shares) on such terms and in such manner as the Directors may determine and agree with the Shareholder;

(c) make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own Shares in any manner authorised by the Companies Law, including out of its capital; and

(d) accept the surrender for no consideration of any paid up Share (including any redeemable Share) on such terms and in such manner as the Directors may determine.

65. The redemption of such Shares, except Offering Shares, shall be effected in such manner and upon such other terms as the Company may, by Special Resolution, determine before the issue of such Shares. With respect to redeeming or repurchasing the Shares:

(a) Members who hold Offering Shares are entitled to request the redemption of such Shares in the circumstances described in the Business Combination Article hereof;

(b) Founder Shares held by the Initial Shareholders shall be surrendered by the Initial Shareholders for no consideration to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised in full so that the number of Class B Shares will equal 20 per cent of the Company’s issued Shares after the Offering; and

(c) Offering Shares shall be repurchased by the Company in the circumstances set out in the Business Combination Article hereof.

66. Any Share in respect of which notice of redemption has been given shall not be entitled to participate in the profits of the Company in respect of the period after the date specified as the date of redemption in the notice of redemption.

67. The redemption, purchase or surrender of any Share shall not be deemed to give rise to the redemption, purchase or surrender of any other Share.

68. The Directors may when making payments in respect of redemption or purchase of Shares, if authorised by the terms of issue of the Shares being redeemed or purchased or with the agreement of the holder of such Shares, make such payment either in cash or in specie including, without limitation, interests in a special purpose vehicle holding assets of the Company or holding entitlement to the proceeds of assets held by the Company or in a liquidating structure.

TREASURY SHARES

69. Shares that the Company purchases, redeems or acquires (by way of surrender or otherwise) may, at the option of the Company, be cancelled immediately or held as Treasury Shares in accordance with the Companies Law. In the event that the Directors do not specify that the relevant Shares are to be held as Treasury Shares, such Shares shall be cancelled.

70. No dividend may be declared or paid, and no other distribution (whether in cash or otherwise) of the Company’s assets (including any distribution of assets to members on a winding up) may be declared or paid in respect of a Treasury Share.

71. The Company shall be entered in the Register as the holder of the Treasury Shares provided that:

(a) the Company shall not be treated as a member for any purpose and shall not exercise any right in respect of the Treasury Shares, and any purported exercise of such a right shall be void;

G-12

(b) a Treasury Share shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting of the Company and shall not be counted in determining the total number of issued shares at any given time, whether for the purposes of these Articles or the Companies Law, save that an allotment of Shares as fully paid bonus shares in respect of a Treasury Share is permitted and Shares allotted as fully paid bonus shares in respect of a treasury share shall be treated as Treasury Shares.

72. Treasury Shares may be disposed of by the Company on such terms and conditions as determined by the Directors.

GENERAL MEETINGS

The Directors shall give Shareholders notice in writing of any cancellation or postponement. A postponement may be for a stated period of any length or indefinitely as the Directors may determine.

76. If at any time there are no Directors, any two Shareholders (or if there is only one Shareholder then that Shareholder) entitled to vote at general meetings of the Company may convene a general meeting in the same manner as nearly as possible as that in which general meetings may be convened by the Directors.

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETINGS

At least seven calendar days’ notice in writing counting from the date service is deemed to take place as provided in these Articles specifying the place, the day and the hour of the meeting and the general nature of the business, and shall be given in the manner hereinafter mentioned or as may be prescribed by the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange or in such other manner, if any, as may be prescribed by the Company, provided that a general meeting of the Company shall, whether or not the notice specified in this Article has been given and whether or not the provisions of these Articles regarding general meetings have been complied with, be deemed to have been duly convened if it is so agreed:

(a) in the case of an annual general meeting, by all the Members (or their proxies) entitled to attend and vote thereat; and

78. The accidental omission to give notice of a meeting to or the non-receipt of a notice of a meeting by any Shareholder shall not invalidate the proceedings at any meeting.

79. No business may be transacted at an annual general meeting, other than business that is either (i) specified in the notice of the annual general meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Directors, (ii) otherwise properly brought before the annual general meeting by or at the direction of the Directors. Notwithstanding anything in this Article to the contrary, only persons nominated for election as a Director to fill any term of a Directorship that expires on the date of the annual general meeting pursuant to these Articles will be considered for election at such meeting.

In any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week, at the same time and place, and if at the adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting the Shareholder or Shareholders present and entitled to vote shall form a quorum.

83. If the Directors wish to make this facility available for a specific general meeting or all general meetings of the Company, participation in any general meeting of the Company may be by means of a telephone or similar communication equipment by way of which all Persons participating in such meeting can communicate with each other and such participation shall be deemed to constitute presence in person at the meeting.

84. The chairman, if any, of the Directors shall preside as chairman at every general meeting of the Company.

85. If there is no such chairman, or if at any general meeting he is not present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting or is unwilling to act as chairman, any Director or Person nominated by the Directors shall preside as chairman, failing which the Shareholders present in person or by proxy shall choose any Person present to be chairman of that meeting.

86. The chairman may adjourn a meeting from time to time and from place to place either:

(a) with the consent of any general meeting at which a quorum is present (and shall if so directed by the meeting); or

(b) without the consent of such meeting if, in his sole opinion, he considers it necessary to do so to:

Save as aforesaid, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of an adjournment or of the business to be transacted at an adjourned meeting.

87. At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands, unless a poll is (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands) demanded by the chairman or one or more Shareholders present in person or by proxy entitled to vote, and unless a poll is so demanded, a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has, on a show of hands, been carried, or carried unanimously, or by a particular majority, or lost, and an entry to that effect in the book of the proceedings of the Company, shall be conclusive evidence of the fact, without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of, or against, that resolution.

88. If a poll is duly demanded it shall be taken in such manner as the chairman directs, and the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded.

89. In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the chairman of the meeting at which the show of hands takes place or at which the poll is demanded, shall be entitled to a second or casting vote.

96. The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing under the hand of the appointor or of his attorney duly authorised in writing or, if the appointor is a corporation, either under Seal or under the hand of an Officer or attorney duly authorised. A proxy need not be a Shareholder.

97. An instrument appointing a proxy may be in any usual or common form or such other form as the Directors may approve.

98. The instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited at the Office or at such other place as is specified for that purpose in the notice convening the meeting no later than the time for holding the meeting or, if the meeting is adjourned, the time for holding such adjourned meeting.

Any corporation which is a Shareholder or a Director may by resolution of its directors or other governing body authorise such Person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or of any meeting of holders of a Class or of the Directors or of a committee of Directors, and the Person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation which he represents as that corporation could exercise if it were an individual Shareholder or Director.

CLEARING HOUSES

If a clearing house (or its nominee) is a Member of the Company it may, by resolution of its directors or other governing body or by power of attorney, authorise such person or persons as it thinks fit to act as its representative or representatives at any general meeting of the Company or at any general meeting of any class of Members of the Company provided that, if more than one person is so authorised, the authorisation shall specify the number and class of Shares in respect of which each such person is so authorised. A person so authorised pursuant to this Article shall be

Any Director appointed in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of Directors in which the new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and until such Director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation, death or removal. When the number of Directors is increased or decreased, the board of Directors shall, subject to Article 5 above, determine the class or classes to which the increased or decreased number of Directors shall be apportioned; provided, however, that no decrease in the number of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent Director. In the event of a vacancy in the board of Directors, the remaining Directors, except as otherwise provided by law, shall exercise the powers of the full board of Directors until the vacancy is filled.

DIRECTORS’ FEES AND EXPENSES

108. The ordinary remuneration of the Directors shall from time to time be determined by the Company in a general meeting or by the board of Directors (as the case may be) and shall (unless otherwise directed by the resolution by which it is voted) be divided amongst the board of Directors in such proportions and in such manner as the board of Directors may agree such remuneration shall be in addition to any other remuneration to which a Director who holds any salaried employment or office in the Company may be entitled by reason of such employment or office.

Any Director may in writing appoint another Person to be his alternate and, save to the extent provided otherwise in the form of appointment, such alternate shall have authority to sign written resolutions on behalf of the appointing Director, but shall not be authorised to sign such written resolutions where they have been signed by the appointing Director, and to act in such Director’s place at any meeting of the Directors. Every such alternate shall be entitled to attend and vote at meetings of the Directors as the alternate of the Director appointing him and where he is a Director to have a separate vote in addition to his own vote. A Director may at any time in writing revoke the appointment of an alternate appointed by him. Such alternate shall not be an Officer solely as a result of his appointment as an alternate other than in respect of such times as the alternate acts as a Director. The remuneration of such alternate shall be payable out of the remuneration of the Director appointing him and the proportion thereof shall be agreed between them.

The Directors may exercise all the powers of the Company to borrow money and to mortgage or charge its undertaking, property and uncalled capital or any part thereof, or to otherwise provide for a security interest to be taken in such undertaking, property or uncalled capital, and to issue debentures, debenture stock and other securities whenever money is borrowed or as security for any debt, liability or obligation of the Company or of any third party.

THE SEAL

122. The Seal shall not be affixed to any instrument except by the authority of a resolution of the Directors provided always that such authority may be given prior to or after the affixing of the Seal and if given after may be in general form confirming a number of affixings of the Seal.

124. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Secretary or any assistant Secretary shall have the authority to affix the Seal, or the facsimile Seal, to any instrument for the purposes of attesting authenticity of the matter contained therein but which does not create any obligation binding on the Company.

128. The quorum necessary for the transaction of the business of the Directors may be fixed by the Directors, and unless so fixed, if there be two or more Directors the quorum shall be two, and if there be one Director the quorum shall be one.

129. A Director who is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a contract or proposed contract with the Company shall declare the nature of his interest at a meeting of the Directors. A general notice given to the Directors by any Director to the effect that he is to be regarded as interested in any contract or other arrangement which may thereafter be made with that company or firm shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of interest in regard to any contract so made. A Director may vote in respect of any contract or proposed contract or arrangement notwithstanding that he may be interested therein and if he does so his vote shall be counted and he may be counted in the quorum at any meeting of the Directors at which any such contract or proposed contract or arrangement shall come before the meeting for consideration.

A Director, notwithstanding his interest, may be counted in the quorum present at any meeting of the Directors whereat he or any other Director is appointed to hold any such office or place of profit under the Company or whereat the terms of any such appointment are arranged and he may vote on any such appointment or arrangement.

131. Any Director may act by himself or his firm in a professional capacity for the Company, and he or his firm shall be entitled to remuneration for professional services as if he were not a Director; provided that nothing herein contained shall authorise a Director or his firm to act as auditor to the Company.

(a) all appointments of Officers made by the Directors;

When signed a resolution may consist of several documents each signed by one or more of the Directors or his duly appointed alternate.

135. The continuing Directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body but if and for so long as their number is reduced below the number fixed by or pursuant to these Articles as the necessary quorum of Directors, the continuing

G-19

Directors may act for the purpose of increasing the number, or of summoning a general meeting of the Company, but for no other purpose.

136. The Directors may elect a chairman of their meetings and determine the period for which he is to hold office but if no such chairman is elected, or if at any meeting the chairman is not present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, the Directors present may choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

137. Subject to any regulations imposed on it by the Directors, a committee appointed by the Directors may elect a chairman of its meetings. If no such chairman is elected, or if at any meeting the chairman is not present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, the committee members present may choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

138. A committee appointed by the Directors may meet and adjourn as it thinks proper. Subject to any regulations imposed on it by the Directors, questions arising at any meeting shall be determined by a majority of votes of the committee members present and in case of an equality of votes the chairman shall have a second or casting vote.

139. All acts done by any meeting of the Directors or of a committee of Directors, or by any Person acting as a Director, shall notwithstanding that it be afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment of any such Director or Person acting as aforesaid, or that they or any of them were disqualified, be as valid as if every such Person had been duly appointed and was qualified to be a Director.

141. Subject to any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any Shares, the Company by Ordinary Resolution may declare dividends, but no dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by the Directors.

142. The Directors may determine, before recommending or declaring any dividend, to set aside out of the funds legally available for distribution such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall be applicable for meeting contingencies, or for equalising dividends or for any other purpose to which those funds may be properly applied and pending such application may, at the determination of the Directors, either be employed in the business of the Company or be invested in such investments as the Directors may from time to time think fit.

143. Any dividend may be paid in any manner as the Directors may determine. If paid by cheque it will be sent through the post to the registered address of the Shareholder or Person entitled thereto, or in the case of joint holders, to any one of such joint holders at his registered address or to such Person and such address as the Shareholder or Person entitled, or such joint holders as the case may be, may direct. Every such cheque shall be made payable to the order of the Person to whom it is sent or to the order of such other Person as the Shareholder or Person entitled, or such joint holders as the case may be, may direct.

144. The Directors when paying dividends to the Shareholders in accordance with the foregoing provisions of these Articles may make such payment either in cash or in specie and may determine the extent to which amounts may be withheld therefrom (including, without limitation, any taxes, fees, expenses or other liabilities for which a Shareholder (or the Company, as a result of any action or inaction of the Shareholder) is liable).

145. Subject to any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any Shares, all dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid up on the Shares, but if and for so long as nothing is paid up on any of the Shares dividends may be declared and paid according to the par value of the Shares.

146. If several Persons are registered as joint holders of any Share, any of them may give effectual receipts for any dividend or other moneys payable on or in respect of the Share.

152. Without prejudice to the freedom of the Directors to establish any other committee, if the Shares are listed or quoted on the Designated Stock Exchange, and if required by the Designated Stock Exchange, the Directors shall establish and maintain an audit committee as a committee of the board of Directors and shall adopt a formal written audit committee charter and review and assess the adequacy of the formal written charter on an annual basis. The composition and responsibilities of the audit committee shall comply with the rules and regulations of the Commission, the Designated Stock Exchange, any competent regulatory authority and/or under applicable law.

There shall be debited to any Share Premium Account on the redemption or purchase of a Share the difference between the nominal value of such Share and the redemption or purchase price provided always that at the determination of the Directors such sum may be paid out of the profits of the Company or, if permitted by the Companies Law, out of capital.

NOTICES

157. Any notice or document may be served by the Company or by the Person entitled to give notice to any Shareholder either personally, or by posting it airmail or air courier service in a prepaid letter addressed to such Shareholder at his address as appearing in the Register, or by electronic mail to any electronic mail address such Shareholder may have specified in writing for the purpose of such service of notices, or by facsimile should the Directors deem it appropriate. In the case of joint holders of a Share, all notices shall be given to that one of the joint holders whose name stands first in the Register in respect of the joint holding, and notice so given shall be sufficient notice to all the joint holders.

158. Any Shareholder present, either personally or by proxy, at any meeting of the Company shall for all purposes be deemed to have received due notice of such meeting and, where requisite, of the purposes for which such meeting was convened.

159. Any notice or other document, if served by:

(a) post, shall be deemed to have been served five clear days after the time when the letter containing the same is posted;

(b) facsimile, shall be deemed to have been served upon production by the transmitting facsimile machine of a report confirming transmission of the facsimile in full to the facsimile number of the recipient;

(c) recognised courier service, shall be deemed to have been served 48 hours after the time when the letter containing the same is delivered to the courier service; or

In proving service by post or courier service it shall be sufficient to prove that the letter containing the notice or documents was properly addressed and duly posted or delivered to the courier service.

160. Any notice or document delivered or sent in accordance with the terms of these Articles shall notwithstanding that such Shareholder be then dead or bankrupt, and whether or not the Company has notice of his death or bankruptcy, be deemed to have been duly served in respect of any Share registered in the name of such Shareholder as sole or joint holder, unless his name shall at the time of the service of the notice or document, have been removed from the Register as the holder of the Share, and such service shall for all purposes be deemed a sufficient service of such notice or document on all Persons interested (whether jointly with or as claiming through or under him) in the Share.

G-22

161. Notice of every general meeting of the Company shall be given to:

(a) all Shareholders holding Shares with the right to receive notice and who have supplied to the Company an address for the giving of notices to them; and

No other Person shall be entitled to receive notices of general meetings.

INDEMNITY

162. To the fullest extent permitted by law, every Director (including for the purposes of this Article any alternate Director appointed pursuant to the provisions of these Articles), Secretary, assistant Secretary, or other Officer (but not including the Company’s auditors) and the personal representatives of the same (each an “Indemnified Person”) shall be indemnified and secured harmless against all actions or proceedings whether threatened, pending or completed (a “Proceeding”), costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by such Indemnified Person, other than by reason of such Indemnified Person’s own actual fraud, wilful default or wilful neglect as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, in or about the conduct of the Company’s business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment), in the execution or discharge of his duties, powers, authorities or discretions, or in respect of any actions or activities undertaken by an Indemnified Person provided for and in accordance with these Articles, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Person in defending or otherwise being involved in, (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning the Company or its affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere. Each Member shall waive any claim or right of action he or she might have, whether individually or by or in the right of the Company, against any Indemnified Person on account of any action taken by such Indemnified Person, or the failure of such Indemnified Person to take any action in the performance of his duties with or for the Company; provided that such waiver shall not extend to any matter in respect of any actual fraud, wilful default or wilful neglect, which may attach to such Indemnified Person.

163. No Indemnified Person shall be liable:

(a) for the acts, receipts, neglects, defaults or omissions of any other Director or Officer or agent of the Company; or

(b) for any loss on account of defect of title to any property of the Company; or

(c) on account of the insufficiency of any security in or upon which any money of the Company shall be invested; or

(e) for any loss occasioned by any negligence, default, breach of duty, breach of trust, error of judgement or oversight on such Indemnified Person’s part; or

(f) for any loss, damage or misfortune whatsoever which may happen in or arise from the execution or discharge of the duties, powers, authorities, or discretions of such Indemnified Person’s office or in relation thereto;

unless the same shall happen through such Indemnified Person’s own dishonesty, wilful default or fraud as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

164. The Company shall pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a Indemnified Person in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that, to the extent required by applicable law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the Indemnified Person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article or otherwise.

G-23

165. The Directors, on behalf of the Company, may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any Director or officer of the Company against any liability which, by virtue of any rule of law, would otherwise attach to such person in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which such person may be guilty in relation to the Company.

166. Neither any amendment nor repeal of these Articles set forth under this heading of “Indemnity” (the “Indemnification Articles”), nor the adoption of any provision of the Memorandum of Association or Articles inconsistent with the Indemnification Articles, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of the Indemnification Articles, in respect of any matter occurring, or any action or proceeding accruing or arising or that, but for these Indemnification Articles, would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

167. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred on any indemnitee by this Article shall not be exclusive of any other rights that any indemnitee may have or hereafter acquire. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this Article shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an Indemnified Person who has ceased to be a Director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators.

NON-RECOGNITION OF TRUSTS

168. Subject to the proviso hereto, no Person shall be recognised by the Company as holding any Share upon any trust and the Company shall not, unless required by law, be bound by or be compelled in any way to recognise (even when having notice thereof) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share or (except only as otherwise provided by these Articles or as the Companies Law requires) any other right in respect of any Share except an absolute right to the entirety thereof in each Shareholder registered in the Register, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be entitled to recognise any such interests as shall be determined by the Directors.

WINDING UP

169. If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator shall apply the assets of the Company in such manner and order as he thinks fit in satisfaction of creditors’ claims.

170. If the Company shall be wound up, the liquidator may, with the sanction of an Ordinary Resolution divide amongst the Shareholders in specie or kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether they shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may, for such purpose set such value as he deems fair upon any property to be divided as aforesaid and may determine how such division shall be carried out as between the Shareholders or different Classes. The liquidator may, with the like sanction, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the Shareholders as the liquidator, with the like sanction shall think fit, but so that no Shareholder shall be compelled to accept any assets whereon there is any liability.

AMENDMENT OF ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

171. Subject to the Companies Law and the rights attaching to the various Classes, the Company may at any time and from time to time by Special Resolution alter or amend these Articles in whole or in part.

CLOSING OF REGISTER OR FIXING RECORD DATE

172. For the purpose of determining those Shareholders that are entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at any meeting of Shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or those Shareholders that are entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination as to who is a Shareholder for any other purpose, the Directors may by any means in accordance with the requirements of any Designated Stock Exchange provide that the Register shall be closed for transfers for a stated period which shall not exceed in any case 40 days. If the Register shall be so closed for the purpose of determining those Shareholders that are entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at a meeting of Shareholders the Register shall be so closed for at least ten days immediately preceding such meeting and the record date for such determination shall be the date of the closure of the Register.

G-24

173. In lieu of or apart from closing the Register, the Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of those Shareholders that are entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at a meeting of the Shareholders and for the purpose of determining those Shareholders that are entitled to receive payment of any dividend the Directors may, at or within 90 days prior to the date of declaration of such dividend, fix a subsequent date as the record date for such determination.

174. If the Register is not so closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of those Shareholders entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at a meeting of Shareholders or those Shareholders that are entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting is posted or the date on which the resolution of the Directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of Shareholders. When a determination of those Shareholders that are entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at a meeting of Shareholders has been made as provided in this Article, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.

REGISTRATION BY WAY OF CONTINUATION

175. The Company may by Special Resolution resolve to be registered by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands or such other jurisdiction in which it is for the time being incorporated, registered or existing. In furtherance of a resolution adopted pursuant to this Article, the Directors may cause an application to be made to the Registrar of Companies to deregister the Company in the Cayman Islands or such other jurisdiction in which it is for the time being incorporated, registered or existing and may cause all such further steps as they consider appropriate to be taken to effect the transfer by way of continuation of the Company.

MERGERS AND CONSOLIDATION

176. The Company may merge or consolidate in accordance with the Companies Law.

177. To the extent required by the Companies Law, the Company may by Special Resolution resolve to merge or consolidate the Company.

DISCLOSURE

178. The Directors, or any authorised service providers (including the Officers, the Secretary and the registered office agent of the Company), shall be entitled to disclose to any regulatory or judicial authority, or to any Designated Stock Exchange on which the Shares may from time to time be listed, any information regarding the affairs of the Company including, without limitation, information contained in the Register and books of the Company.

CLASS B SHARE CONVERSION

179. The rights attaching to all Shares shall rank pari passu in all respects, and the Class A Shares and Class B Shares shall vote together as a single class on all matters (subject to Articles 27 and 108) with the exception that the holder of a Class B Share shall have the conversion rights referred to in this Article.

180. Class B Shares shall automatically convert into Class A Shares on a one-for-one basis (the “Initial Conversion Ratio”): (a) at any time and from time to time at the option of the holders thereof, and (b) automatically on the day of the closing of a Business Combination.

181. Notwithstanding the Initial Conversion Ratio, in the case that additional Class A Shares or any other Equity-linked Securities, are issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination, all Class B Shares in issue shall automatically convert into Class A Shares at the time of the closing of a Business Combination at a ratio for which the Class B Shares shall convert into Class A Shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the Class B Shares in issue agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A Shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20 per cent of the sum of all Class A Shares outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of Class A Shares pursuant to the Business Combination Article),including the total number of Class A Shares issued or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any Equity-linked Securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the Business Combination,

G-25

excluding any Class A Shares or Equity-linked Securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A Shares issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination and any private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor, Officers or Directors upon conversion of working capital loans.

182. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the foregoing adjustment to the Initial Conversion Ratio may be waived as to any particular issuance or deemed issuance of additional Class A Shares or Equity-linked Securities by the written consent or agreement of holders of a majority of the Class B Shares then in issue consenting or agreeing separately as a separate class in the manner provided in the Modification of Rights Article hereof.

183. The foregoing conversion ratio shall also be adjusted to account for any subdivision (by share split, subdivision, exchange, capitalisation, rights issue, reclassification, recapitalisation or otherwise) or combination (by reverse share split, share consolidation, exchange, reclassification, recapitalisation or otherwise) or similar reclassification or recapitalisation of the Class A Shares in issue into a greater or lesser number of shares occurring after the original filing of the Articles without a proportionate and corresponding subdivision, combination or similar reclassification or recapitalisation of the Class B Shares in issue.

184. Each Class B Share shall convert into its pro rata number of Class A Shares pursuant to this Article. The pro rata share for each holder of Class B Shares will be determined as follows: each Class B Share shall convert into such number of Class A Shares as is equal to the product of 1 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of Class A Shares into which all of the Class B Shares in issue shall be converted pursuant to this Article and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Class B Shares in issue at the time of conversion.

185. References in this Article to “converted”, “conversion” or “exchange” shall mean the compulsory redemption without notice of Class B Shares of any Member and, on behalf of such Members, automatic application of such redemption proceeds in paying for such new Class A Shares into which the Class B Shares have been converted or exchanged at a price per Class B Share necessary to give effect to a conversion or exchange calculated on the basis that the Class A Shares to be issued as part of the conversion or exchange will be issued at par. The Class A Shares to be issued on an exchange or conversion shall be registered in the name of such Member or in such name as the Member may direct.

186. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, in no event may any Class B Share convert into Class A Shares at a ratio that is less than one-for-one.

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

187. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, no individual serving as a Director or an Officer (“Management”) shall have any duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Company renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for Management, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other. Except to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Management shall have no duty to communicate or offer any such corporate opportunity to the Company and shall not be liable to the Company or its Members for breach of any fiduciary duty as a Member, Director and/or Officer solely by reason of the fact that such party pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, himself or herself, directs such corporate opportunity to another person, or does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company.

188. Except as provided elsewhere in this Article, the Company hereby renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for both the Company and Management, about which a Director and/or Officer who is also a member of Management acquires knowledge.

189. To the extent a court might hold that the conduct of any activity related to a corporate opportunity that is renounced in this Article to be a breach of duty to the Company or its Members, the Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any and all claims and causes of action that the Company may have for such activities. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the provisions of this Article apply equally to activities conducted in the future and that have been conducted in the past.

Subject to the rights of any holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL.

ARTICLE V

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

For the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation it is further provided that:

A.   Subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, the directors of the Corporation shall be classified with respect to the time for which they severally hold office into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible and designated as Class I, Class II and Class III. The initial Class I directors shall serve for a term expiring at the first annual meeting of the stockholders following the date of this Certificate; the initial Class II directors shall serve for a term expiring at the second annual meeting of the stockholders following the date of this Certificate; and the initial Class III directors shall serve for a term expiring at the third annual meeting following the date of this Certificate. At each annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation beginning with the first annual meeting of the stockholders following the date of this Certificate, subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, the successors of the class of directors whose term expires at that meeting shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of the stockholders held in the third year following the year of their election. Each director shall hold office until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director. The Board of Directors is authorized to assign members of the Board of Directors already in office to Class I, Class II and Class III.

B.   Except as otherwise expressly provided by the DGCL or this Certificate, the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be fixed exclusively by one or more resolutions adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors. Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon.

C.   Subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, the Board of Directors or any individual director may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (66 and 2/3%) of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of voting stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at an election of directors.

D.   Subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, except as otherwise provided by law, any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, retirement, removal or other causes and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors shall be filled exclusively by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (other than any directors elected by the separate vote of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock), and shall not be filled by the stockholders. Any director appointed in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office until the expiration of the term of the class to which such director shall have been appointed or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, or removal.

E.   Whenever the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation shall have the right, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more such other series, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, removal and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of this Certificate (including any Certificate of Designation). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article V, the number of directors that may be elected by the holders of any such series of Preferred Stock shall be in addition to the number fixed pursuant to paragraph B of this Article V, and the total number of directors constituting the whole Board of Directors shall be automatically adjusted accordingly. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Designation(s) in respect of one or more series of Preferred Stock, whenever the holders of any series of Preferred Stock having such right to elect additional directors are divested of such right pursuant to the provisions of such Certificate of Designation(s), the terms of office of all such additional directors elected by the holders of such series of Preferred Stock, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of such additional directors, shall forthwith terminate (in which case each such director thereupon shall cease to be qualified as, and shall cease to be, a director) and the total authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall automatically be reduced accordingly.

F.   In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation (as amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Bylaws”). In addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation required by applicable law or by this Certificate (including any

H-3

Certificate of Designation in respect of one or more series of Preferred Stock) or the Bylaws of the Corporation, the adoption, amendment or repeal of the Bylaws of the Corporation by the stockholders of the Corporation shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (66 and 2/3%) of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of voting stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in an election of directors.

G.   The directors of the Corporation need not be elected by written ballot unless the Bylaws so provide.

ARTICLE VII

STOCKHOLDERS

A.   Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, and shall not be taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more other such series, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, to the extent expressly so provided by the applicable Certificate of Designation relating to such series of Preferred Stock, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding shares of the relevant series of Preferred Stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL.

B.   Subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called, for any purpose or purposes, at any time only by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer or the President, and shall not be called by any other person or persons.

ARTICLE VIII

LIABILITY

No director or officer of the Corporation shall have any personal liability to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or hereafter may be amended. Any amendment, repeal or modification of this Article VIII, or the adoption of any provision of the Certificate inconsistent with this Article VIII, shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director or officer of the Corporation with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such amendment, repeal, modification or adoption. If the DGCL is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article VIII to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors or officers, then the liability of a director or officer of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as so amended.

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION

A.   To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL or any other applicable law, as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless each person who is or was made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he or she or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a

director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such indemnitee in connection with such proceeding; provided that such indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner such indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. The Corporation shall to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an indemnitee in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, to the extent required by applicable law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article IX or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this Article IX shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article IX, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses, the Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to an indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

B.   The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred on any indemnitee by this Article IX shall not be exclusive of any other rights that any indemnitee may have or hereafter acquire under law, this Certificate, the Bylaws, an agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

C.   Any repeal or amendment of this Article IX by the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provision of this Certificate inconsistent with this Article IX, shall, unless otherwise required by law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto), and shall not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision in respect of any proceeding (regardless of when such proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed) arising out of, or related to, any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.

D.   This Article IX shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than indemnitees.

ARTICLE X

FORUM SELECTION

Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, (a) the Court of Chancery (the “Chancery Court”) of the State of Delaware (or, in the event that the Chancery Court does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action, suit or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or stockholder of the Corporation to the Corporation or to the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action, suit or proceeding arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the bylaws of the Corporation or this Certificate (as either may be amended from time to time) or (iv) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against the Corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine; and (b) subject to the preceding provisions of this Article X, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence is filed in a court other than the courts in the State of Delaware (a “Foreign Action”) in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the provisions of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence and (y) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder.

Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any security of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to this Article X. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Article X shall not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other claim for which the federal courts of the United States have exclusive jurisdiction.

Bylaws of
Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc.

Article I — Corporate Offices

1.1   Registered Office.

The address of the registered office of Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc. (the “Corporation”) in the State of Delaware, and the name of its registered agent at such address, shall be as set forth in the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation, as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”).

1.2   Other Offices.

The Corporation may have additional offices at any place or places, within or outside the State of Delaware, as the Corporation’s board of directors (the “Board”) may from time to time establish or as the business and affairs of the Corporation may require.

Article II — Meetings of Stockholders

2.1   Place of Meetings.

Meetings of stockholders shall be held at any place, within or outside the State of Delaware, designated by the Board. The Board may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as authorized by Section 211(a)(2) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). In the absence of any such designation or determination, stockholders’ meetings shall be held at the Corporation’s principal executive office, whether within or outside of the State of Delaware.

2.2   Annual Meeting.

The Board shall designate the date and time of the annual meeting. At the annual meeting, the stockholders entitled to vote on such matters shall elect those directors of the Corporation to fill any term of a directorship that expires on the date of such annual meeting and may transact any other business as may properly be brought before the meeting in accordance with Section 2.4. The Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any previously scheduled annual meeting of stockholders.

2.3   Special Meeting.

Special meetings of the stockholders may be called only by such persons and only in such manner as set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation.

No business may be transacted at any special meeting of stockholders other than the business specified in the notice of such meeting. The Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any previously scheduled special meeting of stockholders.

2.4   Notice of Business to be Brought before a Meeting.

(a)   At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be (i) specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board, (ii) if not specified in a notice of meeting, otherwise brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board or the Chairman of the Board or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder present in person who (A) (1) was a record owner of shares of the Corporation both at the time of giving the notice provided for in this Section 2.4 and at the time of the meeting, (2) is entitled to vote at the meeting and (3) has complied with this Section 2.4 in all applicable respects or (B) properly made such proposal in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (as so amended and inclusive of such rules and regulations, the “Exchange Act”). The foregoing clause (iii) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to propose business to be brought before an annual meeting of the stockholders. The only matters that may be brought before a special meeting are the matters specified in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the person calling the

I-1

meeting pursuant to Section 2.3, and stockholders shall not be permitted to propose business to be brought before a special meeting of the stockholders. For purposes of this Section 2.4, “present in person” shall mean that the stockholder proposing that the business be brought before the annual meeting of the Corporation, or a qualified representative of such proposing stockholder, appear at such annual meeting. A “qualified representative” of such proposing stockholder shall be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or any other person authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders. Stockholders seeking to nominate persons for election to the Board must comply with Section 2.5, and this Section 2.4 shall not be applicable to nominations except as expressly provided in Section 2.5.

(b)   For business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must (i) provide Timely Notice (as defined below) thereof in writing and in proper form to the Secretary of the Corporation and (ii) provide any updates or supplements to such notice at the times and in the forms required by this Section 2.4. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the one-year anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that if no annual meeting was held in the preceding year, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be so delivered, or mailed and received, not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred and twentieth (120th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting or, if later, the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was first made by the Corporation; provided, further, that if the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty (30) days before or more than sixty (60) days after such anniversary date, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be so delivered, or mailed and received, not later than the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting or, if later, the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was first made by the Corporation (such notice within such time periods, “Timely Notice”). In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of Timely Notice as described above.

(c)   To be in proper form for purposes of this Section 2.4, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary of the Corporation shall set forth:

(i)   As to each Proposing Person (as defined below), (A) the name and address of such Proposing Person (including, if applicable, the name and address that appear on the Corporation’s books and records); and (B) the class or series and number of shares of the Corporation that are, directly or indirectly, owned of record or beneficially owned (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by such Proposing Person, except that such Proposing Person shall in all events be deemed to beneficially own any shares of any class or series of the Corporation as to which such Proposing Person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time in the future (the disclosures to be made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) are referred to as “Stockholder Information”);

(ii)   As to each Proposing Person, (A) the full notional amount of any securities that, directly or indirectly, underlie any “derivative security” (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(c) under the Exchange Act) that constitutes a “call equivalent position” (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(b) under the Exchange Act) (“Synthetic Equity Position”) and that is, directly or indirectly, held or maintained by such Proposing Person with respect to any shares of any class or series of shares of the Corporation; provided that, for the purposes of the definition of “Synthetic Equity Position,” the term “derivative security” shall also include any security or instrument that would not otherwise constitute a “derivative security” as a result of any feature that would make any conversion, exercise or similar right or privilege of such security or instrument becoming determinable only at some future date or upon the happening of a future occurrence, in which case the determination of the amount of securities into which such security or instrument would be convertible or exercisable shall be made assuming that such security or instrument is immediately convertible or exercisable at the time of such determination; and, provided, further, that any Proposing Person satisfying the requirements of Rule 13d-1(b)(1) under the Exchange Act (other than a Proposing Person that so satisfies Rule 13d-1(b)(1) under the Exchange Act solely by reason of Rule 13d-1(b)(1)(ii)(E)) shall not be deemed to hold or maintain the notional amount of any securities that underlie a Synthetic Equity Position held by such Proposing Person as a hedge with respect to a bona fide derivatives trade or position of such Proposing Person arising in the ordinary course of such Proposing Person’s business as a derivatives dealer, (B) any rights to dividends on the shares of any class or series of shares of the Corporation owned beneficially by such Proposing Person that are separated or separable from the underlying shares of the Corporation, (C) any material pending or threatened legal proceeding in which such Proposing Person is a party or material participant involving the Corporation or any of its officers or directors, or any affiliate of the Corporation, (D) any other material relationship between such Proposing Person, on the one hand, and the Corporation

I-2

or any affiliate of the Corporation, on the other hand, (E) any direct or indirect material interest in any material contract or agreement of such Proposing Person with the Corporation or any affiliate of the Corporation (including, in any such case, any employment agreement, collective bargaining agreement or consulting agreement), (F) a representation that such Proposing Person intends or is part of a group that intends to deliver a proxy statement or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal or otherwise solicit proxies from stockholders in support of such proposal and (G) any other information relating to such Proposing Person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies or consents by such Proposing Person in support of the business proposed to be brought before the meeting pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act (the disclosures to be made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (A) through (G) are referred to as “Disclosable Interests”); provided, however, that Disclosable Interests shall not include any such disclosures with respect to the ordinary course business activities of any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee who is a Proposing Person solely as a result of being the stockholder directed to prepare and submit the notice required by these bylaws on behalf of a beneficial owner; and

(iii)   As to each item of business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting, (A) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting and any material interest in such business of each Proposing Person, (B) the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the bylaws, the language of the proposed amendment), and (C) a reasonably detailed description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings (x) between or among any of the Proposing Persons or (y) between or among any Proposing Person and any other person or entity (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder; and (D) any other information relating to such item of business that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies in support of the business proposed to be brought before the meeting pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act; provided, however, that the disclosures required by this Section 2.4(c)(iii) shall not include any disclosures with respect to any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee who is a Proposing Person solely as a result of being the stockholder directed to prepare and submit the notice required by these bylaws on behalf of a beneficial owner.

For purposes of this Section 2.4, the term “Proposing Person” shall mean (i) the stockholder providing the notice of business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting, (ii) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose behalf the notice of the business proposed to be brought before the annual meeting is made, and (iii) any participant (as defined in paragraphs (a)(ii)-(vi) of Instruction 3 to Item 4 of Schedule 14A) with such stockholder in such solicitation.

(d)   A Proposing Person shall update and supplement its notice to the Corporation of its intent to propose business at an annual meeting, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be true and correct as of the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five (5) business days after the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of such record date), and not later than eight (8) business days prior to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment or postponement thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the meeting has been adjourned or postponed) (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other Section of these bylaws shall not limit the Corporation’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted notice hereunder to amend or update any proposal or to submit any new proposal, including by changing or adding matters, business or resolutions proposed to be brought before a meeting of the stockholders.

(e)   Notwithstanding anything in these bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at an annual meeting that is not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with this Section 2.4. The presiding officer of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine that the business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with this Section 2.4, and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

I-3

(f)   This Section 2.4 is expressly intended to apply to any business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders other than any proposal made in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and included in the Corporation’s proxy statement. In addition to the requirements of this Section 2.4 with respect to any business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting, each Proposing Person shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act with respect to any such business. Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall be deemed to affect the rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

(g)   For purposes of these bylaws, “public disclosure” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

2.5   Notice of Nominations for Election to the Board.

(a)   Nominations of any person for election to the Board at an annual meeting or at a special meeting (but only if the election of directors is a matter specified in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the person calling such special meeting) may be made at such meeting only (i) by or at the direction of the Board, including by any committee or persons authorized to do so by the Board or these bylaws, or (ii) by a stockholder present in person (A) who was a record owner of shares of the Corporation both at the time of giving the notice provided for in this Section 2.5 and at the time of the meeting, (B) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (C) has complied with this Section 2.5 as to such notice and nomination. For purposes of this Section 2.5, “present in person” shall mean that the stockholder proposing that the business be brought before the meeting of the Corporation, or a qualified representative of such stockholder, appear at such meeting. A “qualified representative” of such proposing stockholder shall be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or any other person authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders. The foregoing clause (ii) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make any nomination of a person or persons for election to the Board at an annual meeting or special meeting.

(b)   (i)   Without qualification, for a stockholder to make any nomination of a person or persons for election to the Board at an annual meeting, the stockholder must (1) provide Timely Notice (as defined in Section 2.4) thereof in writing and in proper form to the Secretary of the Corporation, (2) provide the information, agreements and questionnaires with respect to such stockholder and its candidate for nomination as required to be set forth by this Section 2.5 and (3) provide any updates or supplements to such notice at the times and in the forms required by this Section 2.5.

(ii)   Without qualification, if the election of directors is a matter specified in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the person calling a special meeting, then for a stockholder to make any nomination of a person or persons for election to the Board at a special meeting, the stockholder must (i) provide Timely Notice thereof in writing and in proper form to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation, (ii) provide the information with respect to such stockholder and its candidate for nomination as required by this Section 2.5 and (iii) provide any updates or supplements to such notice at the times and in the forms required by this Section 2.5. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice for nominations to be made at a special meeting must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such special meeting and not later than the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such special meeting or, if later, the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public disclosure (as defined in Section 2.4) of the date of such special meeting was first made.

(iii)   In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or special meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

(iv)   In no event may a Nominating Person provide Timely Notice with respect to a greater number of director candidates than are subject to election by shareholders at the applicable meeting. If the Corporation shall, subsequent to such notice, increase the number of directors subject to election at the meeting, such notice as to any additional nominees shall be due on the later of (i) the conclusion of the time period for Timely Notice, (ii) the date set forth in Section 2.5(b)(ii) or (iii) the tenth day following the date of public disclosure (as defined in Section 2.4) of such increase.

I-4

(c)   To be in proper form for purposes of this Section 2.5, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary of the Corporation shall set forth:

(i)   As to each Nominating Person (as defined below), the Stockholder Information (as defined in Section 2.4(c)(i), except that for purposes of this Section 2.5, the term “Nominating Person” shall be substituted for the term “Proposing Person” in all places it appears in Section 2.4(c)(i));

(ii)   As to each Nominating Person, any Disclosable Interests (as defined in Section 2.4(c)(ii), except that for purposes of this Section 2.5, the term “Nominating Person” shall be substituted for the term “Proposing Person” in all places it appears in Section 2.4(c)(ii) and the disclosure with respect to the business to be brought before the meeting in Section 2.4(c)(ii) shall be made with respect to the election of directors at the meeting); and

(iii)   As to each candidate whom a Nominating Person proposes to nominate for election as a director, (A) all information with respect to such candidate for nomination that would be required to be set forth in a stockholder’s notice pursuant to this Section 2.5 if such candidate for nomination were a Nominating Person, (B) all information relating to such candidate for nomination that is required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14(a) under the Exchange Act (including such candidate’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected), (C) a description of any direct or indirect material interest in any material contract or agreement between or among any Nominating Person, on the one hand, and each candidate for nomination or his or her respective associates or any other participants in such solicitation, on the other hand, including, without limitation, all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 under Regulation S-K if such Nominating Person were the “registrant” for purposes of such rule and the candidate for nomination were a director or executive officer of such registrant and (D) a completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement as provided in Section 2.5(f).

For purposes of this Section 2.5, the term “Nominating Person” shall mean (i) the stockholder providing the notice of the nomination proposed to be made at the meeting, (ii) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose behalf the notice of the nomination proposed to be made at the meeting is made, and (iii) any other participant in such solicitation.

(d)   A stockholder providing notice of any nomination proposed to be made at a meeting shall further update and supplement such notice, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be true and correct as of the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five (5) business days after the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of such record date), and not later than eight (8) business days prior to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment or postponement thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the meeting has been adjourned or postponed) (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other Section of these bylaws shall not limit the Corporation’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted notice hereunder to amend or update any nomination or to submit any new nomination.

(e)   In addition to the requirements of this Section 2.5 with respect to any nomination proposed to be made at a meeting, each Nominating Person shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act with respect to any such nominations.

(f)   To be eligible to be a candidate for election as a director of the Corporation at an annual or special meeting, a candidate must be nominated in the manner prescribed in Section 2.5 and the candidate for nomination, whether nominated by the Board or by a stockholder of record, must have previously delivered (in accordance with the time period prescribed for delivery in a notice to such candidate given by or on behalf of the Board), to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation, (i) a completed written questionnaire (in a form provided by the Corporation) with respect to the background, qualifications, stock ownership and independence of such proposed nominee and (ii) a written representation and agreement (in form provided by the Corporation) that such candidate for nomination (A) is not and, if elected as a director during his or her term of office, will not become a party to (1) any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given and will not give any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such proposed nominee, if elected as a director of the

I-5

Corporation, will act or vote on any issue or question (a “Voting Commitment”) or (2) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such proposed nominee’s ability to comply, if elected as a director of the Corporation, with such proposed nominee’s fiduciary duties under applicable law, (B) is not, and will not become a party to, any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation or reimbursement for service as a director that has not been disclosed to the Corporation and (C) if elected as a director of the Corporation, will comply with all applicable corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality, stock ownership and trading and other policies and guidelines of the Corporation applicable to directors and in effect during such person’s term in office as a director (and, if requested by any candidate for nomination, the Secretary of the Corporation shall provide to such candidate for nomination all such policies and guidelines then in effect).

(g)   The Board may also require any proposed candidate for nomination as a Director to furnish such other information as may reasonably be requested by the Board in writing prior to the meeting of stockholders at which such candidate’s nomination is to be acted upon in order for the Board to determine the eligibility of such candidate for nomination to be an independent director of the Corporation in accordance with the Corporation’s corporate governance guidelines.

(h)   A candidate for nomination as a director shall further update and supplement the materials delivered pursuant to this Section 2.5, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be true and correct as of the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation (or any other office specified by the Corporation in any public announcement) not later than five (5) business days after the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of such record date), and not later than eight (8) business days prior to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment or postponement thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the meeting has been adjourned or postponed) (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other Section of these bylaws shall not limit the Corporation’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted notice hereunder to amend or update any proposal or to submit any new proposal, including by changing or adding nominees, matters, business or resolutions proposed to be brought before a meeting of the stockholders.

(i)   No candidate shall be eligible for nomination as a director of the Corporation unless such candidate for nomination and the Nominating Person seeking to place such candidate’s name in nomination has complied with this Section 2.5. The presiding officer at the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine that a nomination was not properly made in accordance with Section 2.5, and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare such determination to the meeting, the defective nomination shall be disregarded and any ballots cast for the candidate in question (but in the case of any form of ballot listing other qualified nominees, only the ballots cast for the nominee in question) shall be void and of no force or effect.

(j)   Notwithstanding anything in these bylaws to the contrary, no candidate for nomination shall be eligible to be seated as a director of the Corporation unless nominated and elected in accordance with Section 2.5.

2.6   Notice of Stockholders’ Meetings.

Unless otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be sent or otherwise given in accordance with Section 8.1 not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. The notice shall specify the place, if any, date and time of the meeting, the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.

2.7   Quorum.

Unless otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person, or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the stockholders. A quorum, once established at a meeting, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum. If, however, a quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either (i) the person presiding over the meeting or (ii) a majority in voting power

I-6

of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person, or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, shall have power to recess the meeting or adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided in Section 2.8 until a quorum is present or represented. At any recessed or adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.

2.8   Adjourned Meeting; Notice.

When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, unless these bylaws otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At any adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board shall fix as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date so fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

2.9   Conduct of Business.

The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting by the person presiding over the meeting. The Board may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board, the person presiding over any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to convene and (for any or no reason) to recess and/or adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures (which need not be in writing) and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such presiding person, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the person presiding over the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present (including, without limitation, rules and procedures for removal of disruptive persons from the meeting); (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the person presiding over the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. The presiding person at any meeting of stockholders, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting (including, without limitation, determinations with respect to the administration and/or interpretation of any of the rules, regulations or procedures of the meeting, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the person presiding over the meeting), shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a matter of business was not properly brought before the meeting and if such presiding person should so determine, such presiding person shall so declare to the meeting and any such matter or business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted or considered. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board or the person presiding over the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

2.10   Voting.

Except as may be otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, these bylaws or the DGCL, each stockholder shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder.

Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, at all duly called or convened meetings of stockholders at which a quorum is present, for the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect a director. Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, these bylaws, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, or applicable law or pursuant to any regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities, each other matter presented to the stockholders at a duly called or convened meeting at which a quorum is present shall be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes) on such matter.

I-7

2.11   Record Date for Stockholder Meetings and Other Purposes.

In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If the Board so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the close of business on the next day preceding the day on which notice is first given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting; and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance herewith at the adjourned meeting.

In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment or any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of capital stock, or for the purposes of any other lawful action, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

2.12   Proxies.

Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy authorized by an instrument in writing or by a transmission permitted by law filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL. A proxy may be in the form of an electronic transmission which sets forth or is submitted with information from which it can be determined that the transmission was authorized by the stockholder.

2.13   List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote.

The Corporation shall prepare, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (provided, however, that if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth (10th) day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The Corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the Corporation’s principal executive office. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Such list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them. Except as otherwise provided by law, the stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list of stockholders required by this Section 2.13 or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

I-8

2.14   Inspectors of Election.

Before any meeting of stockholders, the Corporation shall appoint an inspector or inspectors of election to act at the meeting or its adjournment and make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If any person appointed as inspector or any alternate fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, then the person presiding over the meeting shall appoint a person to fill that vacancy.

Such inspectors shall:

(i)   determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the number of shares represented at the meeting and the validity of any proxies and ballots;

(ii)   count all votes or ballots;

(iii) count and tabulate all votes;

(iv)   determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspector(s); and

(v)   certify its or their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and its or their count of all votes and ballots.

Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of the duties of inspector, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspection with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspector’s ability. Any report or certificate made by the inspectors of election is prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. The inspectors of election may appoint such persons to assist them in performing their duties as they determine.

2.15   Delivery to the Corporation.

Whenever this Article II requires one or more persons (including a record or beneficial owner of stock) to deliver a document or information to the Corporation or any officer, employee or agent thereof (including any notice, request, questionnaire, revocation, representation or other document or agreement), such document or information shall be in writing exclusively (and not in an electronic transmission) and shall be delivered exclusively by hand (including, without limitation, overnight courier service) or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and the Corporation shall not be required to accept delivery of any document not in such written form or so delivered. For the avoidance of doubt, the Corporation expressly opts out of Section 116 of the DGCL with respect to the delivery of information and documents to the Corporation required by this Article II.

Article III — Directors

3.1   Powers.

Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation or the DGCL, the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board.

3.2   Number of Directors.

Subject to the Certificate of Incorporation, the total number of directors constituting the Board shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board. No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director before that director’s term of office expires.

3.3   Election, Qualification and Term of Office of Directors.

Except as provided in Section 3.4, and subject to the Certificate of Incorporation, each director, including a director elected to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship, shall hold office until the expiration of the term of the class, if any, for which elected and until such director’s successor is elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal.

I-9

Directors need not be stockholders or residents of the State of Delaware. The Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws may prescribe qualifications for directors.

3.4   Resignation and Vacancies.

Any director may resign at any time upon notice given in writing or by electronic transmission to the Corporation. The resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein or upon the happening of an event specified therein, and if no time or event is specified, at the time of its receipt. When one or more directors so resigns and the resignation is effective at a future date or upon the happening of an event to occur on a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective, and each director so chosen shall hold office as provided in Section 3.3.

Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, vacancies resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of any director, and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors shall be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.

3.5   Place of Meetings; Meetings by Telephone.

The Board may hold meetings, both regular and special, either within or outside the State of Delaware.

Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, members of the Board, or any committee designated by the Board, may participate in a meeting of the Board, or any committee, by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting pursuant to this bylaw shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

3.6   Regular Meetings.

Regular meetings of the Board may be held within or outside the State of Delaware and at such time and at such place as which has been designated by the Board and publicized among all directors, either orally or in writing, by telephone, including a voice-messaging system or other system designed to record and communicate messages, facsimile, telegraph or telex, or by electronic mail or other means of electronic transmission. No further notice shall be required for regular meetings of the Board.

3.7   Special Meetings; Notice.

Special meetings of the Board for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the chairperson of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the Secretary of the Corporation or a majority of the total number of directors constituting the Board.

Notice of the time and place of special meetings shall be:

(i) delivered personally by hand, by courier or by telephone;

(ii) sent by United States first-class mail, postage prepaid;

(iii) sent by facsimile or electronic mail; or

(iv) sent by other means of electronic transmission,

directed to each director at that director’s address, telephone number, facsimile number or electronic mail address, or other address for electronic transmission, as the case may be, as shown on the Corporation’s records.

If the notice is (i) delivered personally by hand, by courier or by telephone, (ii) sent by facsimile or electronic mail, or (iii) sent by other means of electronic transmission, it shall be delivered or sent at least twenty-four (24) hours before the time of the holding of the meeting. If the notice is sent by U.S. mail, it shall be deposited in the U.S. mail at least four (4) days before the time of the holding of the meeting. The notice need not specify the place of the meeting (if the meeting is to be held at the Corporation’s principal executive office) nor the purpose of the meeting.

I-10

3.8   Quorum.

At all meetings of the Board, unless otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, a majority of the total number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The vote of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the Board, then the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present.

3.9   Board Action without a Meeting.

Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission. After an action is taken, the consent or consents relating thereto shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board, or the committee thereof, in the same paper or electronic form as the minutes are maintained. Such action by written consent or consent by electronic transmission shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote of the Board.

3.10   Fees and Compensation of Directors.

Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the Board shall have the authority to fix the compensation, including fees and reimbursement of expenses, of directors for services to the Corporation in any capacity.

Article IV — Committees

4.1   Committees of Directors.

The Board may designate one (1) or more committees, each committee to consist, of one (1) or more of the directors of the Corporation. The Board may designate one (1) or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board or in these bylaws, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers that may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority to (i) approve or adopt, or recommend to the stockholders, any action or matter expressly required by the DGCL to be submitted to stockholders for approval, or (ii) adopt, amend or repeal any bylaw of the Corporation.

4.2   Committee Minutes.

Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the Board when required.

(iii)  Section 3.7 (special meetings; notice);

(iv)  Section 3.9 (board action without a meeting); and

(v)  Section 7.13 (waiver of notice),

I-11

with such changes in the context of those bylaws as are necessary to substitute the committee and its members for the Board and its members; provided, however, that:

4.4   Subcommittees.

Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, these bylaws or the resolutions of the Board designating the committee, a committee may create one (1) or more subcommittees, each subcommittee to consist of one (1) or more members of the committee, and delegate to a subcommittee any or all of the powers and authority of the committee.

5.4   Removal and Resignation of Officers.

Subject to the rights, if any, of an officer under any contract of employment, any officer may be removed, either with or without cause, by the Board or, except in the case of an officer chosen by the Board, by any officer upon whom such power of removal may be conferred by the Board.

Any officer may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Corporation. Any resignation shall take effect at the date of the receipt of that notice or at any later time specified in that notice.

A stock ledger consisting of one or more records in which the names of all of the Corporation’s stockholders of record, the address and number of shares registered in the name of each such stockholder, and all issuances and transfers of stock of the corporation are recorded in accordance with Section 224 of the DGCL shall be administered by or on behalf of the Corporation. Any records administered by or on behalf of the Corporation in the regular course of its business, including its stock ledger, books of account, and minute books, may be kept on, or by means of, or be in the form of, any information storage device, or method, or one or more electronic networks or databases (including one or more distributed electronic networks or databases), provided that the records so kept can be converted into clearly legible paper form within a reasonable time and, with respect to the stock ledger, that the records so kept (i) can be used to prepare the list of stockholders specified in Sections 219 and 220 of the DGCL, (ii) record the information specified in Sections 156, 159, 217(a) and 218 of the DGCL, and (iii) record transfers of stock as governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the State of Delaware.

Article VII — General Matters

7.1   Execution of Corporate Contracts and Instruments.

The Board, except as otherwise provided in these bylaws, may authorize any officer or officers, or agent or agents, to enter into any contract or execute any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the Corporation; such authority may be general or confined to specific instances.

7.2   Stock Certificates.

The shares of the Corporation shall be represented by certificates or shall be uncertificated. Certificates for the shares of stock, if any, shall be in such form as is consistent with the Certificate of Incorporation and applicable law. Every holder of stock represented by a certificate shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of the Corporation by, any two officers authorized to sign stock certificates representing the number of shares registered in certificate form. The Chairperson or Vice Chairperson of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, Vice President, the Treasurer, any Assistant Treasurer, the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Corporation shall be specifically authorized to sign stock certificates. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he or she were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

The Corporation may issue the whole or any part of its shares as partly paid and subject to call for the remainder of the consideration to be paid therefor. Upon the face or back of each stock certificate issued to represent any such partly paid shares, or upon the books and records of the Corporation in the case of uncertificated partly paid shares, the total amount of the consideration to

I-13

be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon shall be stated. Upon the declaration of any dividend on fully paid shares, the Corporation shall declare a dividend upon partly paid shares of the same class, but only upon the basis of the percentage of the consideration actually paid thereon.

7.3   Special Designation of Certificates.

If the Corporation is authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, then the powers, the designations, the preferences and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face or on the back of the certificate that the Corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock (or, in the case of uncertificated shares, set forth in a notice provided pursuant to Section 151 of the DGCL); provided, however, that except as otherwise provided in Section 202 of the DGCL, in lieu of the foregoing requirements, there may be set forth on the face of back of the certificate that the Corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock (or, in the case of any uncertificated shares, included in the aforementioned notice) a statement that the Corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, the designations, the preferences and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.

7.4   Lost Certificates.

Except as provided in this Section 7.4, no new certificates for shares shall be issued to replace a previously issued certificate unless the latter is surrendered to the Corporation and cancelled at the same time. The Corporation may issue a new certificate of stock or uncertificated shares in the place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the Corporation may require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or such owner’s legal representative, to give the Corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares.

7.5   Shares Without Certificates

The Corporation may adopt a system of issuance, recordation and transfer of its shares of stock by electronic or other means not involving the issuance of certificates, provided the use of such system by the Corporation is permitted in accordance with applicable law.

7.6   Construction; Definitions.

Unless the context requires otherwise, the general provisions, rules of construction and definitions in the DGCL shall govern the construction of these bylaws. Without limiting the generality of this provision, the singular number includes the plural and the plural number includes the singular.

7.7   Dividends.

The Board, subject to any restrictions contained in either (i) the DGCL or (ii) the Certificate of Incorporation, may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of its capital stock. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property or in shares of the Corporation’s capital stock.

The Board may set apart out of any of the funds of the Corporation available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose and may abolish any such reserve. Such purposes shall include but not be limited to equalizing dividends, repairing or maintaining any property of the Corporation, and meeting contingencies.

7.8   Fiscal Year.

The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the Board and may be changed by the Board.

7.9   Seal.

The Corporation may adopt a corporate seal, which shall be adopted and which may be altered by the Board. The Corporation may use the corporate seal by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or in any other manner reproduced.

I-14

7.10   Transfer of Stock.

Shares of the stock of the Corporation shall be transferable in the manner prescribed by law and in these bylaws. Shares of stock of the Corporation shall be transferred on the books of the Corporation only by the holder of record thereof or by such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender to the Corporation of the certificate or certificates representing such shares endorsed by the appropriate person or persons (or by delivery of duly executed instructions with respect to uncertificated shares), with such evidence of the authenticity of such endorsement or execution, transfer, authorization and other matters as the Corporation may reasonably require, and accompanied by all necessary stock transfer stamps. No transfer of stock shall be valid as against the Corporation for any purpose until it shall have been entered in the stock records of the Corporation by an entry showing the names of the persons from and to whom it was transferred.

7.11   Stock Transfer Agreements.

The Corporation shall have power to enter into and perform any agreement with any number of stockholders of any one or more classes or series of stock of the Corporation to restrict the transfer of shares of stock of the Corporation of any one or more classes owned by such stockholders in any manner not prohibited by the DGCL.

7.12   Registered Stockholders.

The Corporation:

(i)   shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends and to vote as such owner; and

(ii)   shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of another person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Delaware.

7.13   Waiver of Notice.

Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, a written waiver, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws.

Article VIII — Notice

8.1   Delivery of Notice; Notice by Electronic Transmission.

Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these bylaws may be given in writing directed to the stockholder’s mailing address (or by electronic transmission directed to the stockholder’s electronic mail address, as applicable) as it appears on the records of the Corporation and shall be given (1) if mailed, when the notice is deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, (2) if delivered by courier service, the earlier of when the notice is received or left at such stockholder’s address or (3) if given by electronic mail, when directed to such stockholder’s electronic mail address unless the stockholder has notified the Corporation in writing or by electronic transmission of an objection to receiving notice by electronic mail. A notice by electronic mail must include a prominent legend that the communication is an important notice regarding the Corporation.

Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice or electronic transmission to the Corporation. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, the

I-15

Corporation may give a notice by electronic mail in accordance with the first paragraph of this section without obtaining the consent required by this paragraph.

Any notice given pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall be deemed given:

(i)   if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice;

(ii)  if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and

(iii) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a notice may not be given by an electronic transmission from and after the time that (1) the Corporation is unable to deliver by such electronic transmission two (2) consecutive notices given by the Corporation and (2) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, that the inadvertent failure to discover such inability shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

Article IX — Indemnification

9.1   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL or any other applicable law, as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or non-profit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans (hereinafter, an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as director, officer, employee, or agent, or in any other capacity while serving as director, officer, employee or agent, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such indemnitee in connection with any such Proceeding; provided that such indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner such indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.4, the Corporation shall be required to indemnify a person in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such indemnitee only if the Proceeding was authorized in the specific case by the Board.

9.2   Indemnification of Others.

The Corporation shall have the power to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL or any other applicable law, as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any employee or agent of the Corporation who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any Proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any such Proceeding.

9.3   Prepayment of Expenses.

In addition to the obligation to indemnify conferred in Section 9.1, the Corporation shall to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL or any other applicable law pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by any indemnitee, and may pay the expenses incurred by any employee or agent of the Corporation, in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided,

I-16

however, that such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article IX — or otherwise.

9.4   Determination; Claim.

If a claim for indemnification (following the final disposition of such Proceeding) under this Article IX — is not paid in full within sixty (60) days, or a claim for advancement of expenses under this Article IX — is not paid in full within twenty (20) days, after a written claim therefor has been received by the Corporation the indemnitee may thereafter (but not before) file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim to the fullest extent permitted by law. In any such action the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that the claimant was not entitled to the requested indemnification or payment of expenses under applicable law.

9.5   Non-Exclusivity of Rights.

The rights conferred on any person by this Article IX — shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, these bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

9.6   Insurance.

The Corporation shall purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust enterprise or non-profit entity against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of the DGCL.

9.7   Other Indemnification.

The Corporation’s obligation, if any, to indemnify or advance expenses to any person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit entity shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit enterprise.

9.8   Continuation of Indemnification.

The rights to indemnification and to prepayment of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article IX — shall continue notwithstanding that the person has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors, administrators, legatees and distributees of such person.

9.9   Amendment or Repeal; Interpretation.

The provisions of this Article IX — shall constitute a contract between the Corporation, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, each individual who serves or has served as a director or officer of the Corporation (whether before or after the adoption of these bylaws), in consideration of such person’s performance of such services, and pursuant to this Article IX — the Corporation intends to be legally bound to each such current or former director or officer of the Corporation. With respect to current and former directors and officers of the Corporation, the rights conferred under this Article IX — are present contractual rights and such rights are fully vested, and shall be deemed to have vested fully, immediately upon adoption of theses bylaws. With respect to any directors or officers of the Corporation who commence service following adoption of these bylaws, the rights conferred under this provision shall be present contractual rights and such rights shall fully vest, and be deemed to have vested fully, immediately upon such director or officer commencing service as a director or officer of the Corporation. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article IX — shall not adversely affect any right or protection (i) hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification or (ii) under any agreement providing for indemnification or advancement of expenses to an officer or director of the Corporation in effect prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

I-17

Any reference to an officer of the Corporation in this Article IX — shall be deemed to refer exclusively to the Chief Executive Officer, the President and the Secretary of the Corporation, or other officer of the Corporation appointed by (x) the Board pursuant to Article V — or (y) an officer to whom the Board has delegated the power to appoint officers pursuant to Article V — , and any reference to an officer of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be deemed to refer exclusively to an officer appointed by the board of directors (or equivalent governing body) of such other entity pursuant to the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or equivalent organizational documents) of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise. The fact that any person who is or was an employee of the Corporation or an employee of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise has been given or has used the title of “Vice President” or any other title that could be construed to suggest or imply that such person is or may be an officer of the Corporation or of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall not result in such person being constituted as, or being deemed to be, an officer of the Corporation or of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise for purposes of this Article IX — .

Article X — Amendments

The Board is expressly empowered to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation. The stockholders also shall have power to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation; provided, however, that such action by stockholders shall require, in addition to any other vote required by the Certificate of Incorporation or applicable law, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of voting stock of the Corporation with the power to vote generally in an election of directors, voting together as a single class.

Article XI — Forum Selection

If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence is filed in a court other than the courts in the State of Delaware (a “Foreign Action”) in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the provisions of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence and (y) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder.

Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any security of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to this Article XI — . Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Article XI — shall not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other claim for which the federal courts of the United States have exclusive jurisdiction.

If any provision or provisions of this Article XI shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any circumstance for any reason whatsoever, (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Article XI (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Article XI containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the application of such provision to other persons or entities and circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

2022 INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN

ARTICLE I.

PURPOSE

The Plan’s purpose is to enhance the Company’s ability to attract, retain and motivate persons who make (or are expected to make) important contributions to the Company by providing these individuals with equity ownership opportunities and/or equity-linked compensatory opportunities. Capitalized terms used in the Plan are defined in Article XI.

ARTICLE II.
ELIGIBILITY

Service Providers are eligible to be granted Awards under the Plan, subject to the limitations described herein.

ARTICLE III.
ADMINISTRATION AND DELEGATION

3.1Administration. The Plan is administered by the Administrator. The Administrator has authority to determine which Service Providers receive Awards, grant Awards and set Award terms and conditions, subject to the conditions and limitations in the Plan. The Administrator also has the authority to take all actions and make all determinations under the Plan, to interpret the Plan and Award Agreements and to adopt, amend and repeal Plan administrative rules, guidelines and practices as it deems advisable. The Administrator may correct defects and ambiguities, supply omissions and reconcile inconsistencies in the Plan or any Award Agreement as it deems necessary or appropriate to administer the Plan and any Awards. The Administrator’s determinations under the Plan are in its sole discretion and will be final and binding on all persons having or claiming any interest in the Plan or any Award.

3.2Appointment of Committees. To the extent Applicable Laws permit, the Board or the Administrator may delegate any or all of its powers under the Plan to one or more Committees or committees of officers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The Board or the Administrator, as applicable, may rescind any such delegation, abolish any such Committee or committee and/or re-vest in itself any previously delegated authority at any time.

ARTICLE IV.
STOCK AVAILABLE FOR AWARDS

4.1Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment under Article VIII and the terms of this Article IV, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to Awards under the Plan shall be equal to the Overall Share Limit. Shares issued under the Plan may consist of authorized but unissued Shares, Shares purchased on the open market or treasury Shares.

4.2Share Recycling. If all or any part of an Award expires, lapses or is terminated, exchanged for or settled in cash, surrendered, repurchased, canceled without having been fully exercised/settled or forfeited, in any case, in a manner that results in the Company acquiring Shares covered by the Award at a price not greater than the price (as adjusted to reflect any Equity Restructuring) paid by the Participant for such Shares or not issuing any Shares covered by the Award, the unused Shares covered by the Award will, as applicable, become or again be available for Award grants under the Plan. In addition, Shares delivered (either by actual delivery or attestation) to the Company by a Participant to satisfy the applicable exercise or purchase price of an Award and/or to satisfy any applicable tax withholding obligation with respect to an Award (including Shares retained by the Company from the Award being exercised or purchased and/or creating the tax obligation) will, as applicable, become or again be available for Award grants under the Plan. The payment of Dividend Equivalents in cash in conjunction with any outstanding Awards shall not count against the Overall Share Limit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the following Shares shall not be added to the Shares authorized for grant under Section 4.1 and shall not be available for future grants of Awards: (a) Shares subject to a Stock Appreciation Right that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the Stock Appreciation Right on exercise thereof; and (b) Shares purchased on the open market with the cash proceeds from the exercise of Options.

J-1

4.4Substitute Awards. In connection with an entity’s merger or consolidation with the Company of any Subsidiary or the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s acquisition of an entity’s property or stock, the Administrator may grant Awards in substitution for any options or other stock or stock-based awards granted before such merger or consolidation by such entity or its affiliate. Substitute Awards may be granted on such terms as the Administrator deems appropriate, notwithstanding limitations on Awards in the Plan. Substitute Awards will not count against the Overall Share Limit (nor shall Shares subject to a Substitute Award be added to the Shares available for Awards under the Plan as provided above), except that Shares acquired by exercise of substitute Incentive Stock Options will count against the maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options under the Plan. Additionally, in the event that a company acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary or with which the Company or any Subsidiary combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the Shares authorized for grant under the Plan (and Shares subject to such Awards shall not be added to the Shares available for Awards under the Plan as provided above); provided that Awards using such available shares shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not Service Providers prior to such acquisition or combination.

4.5Non-Employee Director Compensation. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan, the Administrator may establish compensation for non-employee Directors from time to time, subject to the limitations in the Plan. The Administrator will from time to time determine the terms, conditions and amounts of all such non-employee Director compensation in its discretion and pursuant to the exercise of its business judgment, taking into account such factors, circumstances and considerations as it shall deem relevant from time to time; provided that, the sum of any cash compensation, or other compensation, and the value (determined as of the grant date in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, or any successor thereto) of Awards granted to a non-employee Director as compensation for services as a non-employee Director during any fiscal year of the Company may not exceed $750,000.

ARTICLE V.

STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

5.1General. The Administrator may grant Options or Stock Appreciation Rights to Service Providers subject to the limitations in the Plan, including any limitations in the Plan that apply to Incentive Stock Options. The Administrator will determine the number of Shares covered by each Option and Stock Appreciation Right, the exercise price of each Option and Stock Appreciation Right and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of each Option and Stock Appreciation Right. A Stock Appreciation Right will entitle the Participant (or other person entitled to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right) to receive from the Company upon exercise of the exercisable portion of the Stock Appreciation Right an amount determined by multiplying the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise over the exercise price per Share of the Stock Appreciation Right by the number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, subject to any limitations of the Plan or that the Administrator may impose and payable in cash, Shares valued at Fair Market Value or a combination of the two as the Administrator may determine or provide in the Award Agreement.

5.2Exercise Price. The Administrator will establish each Option’s and Stock Appreciation Right’s exercise price and specify the exercise price in the Award Agreement. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the exercise price will not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the grant date of the Option (subject to Section 5.6) or Stock Appreciation Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right that is a Substitute Award, the exercise price per share of the Shares subject to such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, as applicable, may be less than the Fair Market Value per share on the date of grant; provided that the exercise price of any Substitute Award shall be determined in accordance with the applicable requirements of Sections 424 and 409A of the Code.

5.3Duration. Each Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be exercisable at such times and as specified in the Award Agreement, provided that, subject to Section 5.6, the term of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right will not exceed ten years. Notwithstanding the foregoing and unless determined otherwise by the Company, in the event that on the last business day of the term of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right (other than an Incentive Stock Option) (i) the exercise of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right is prohibited by Applicable Law, as determined by the Company, or (ii) Shares may not be purchased or sold by the applicable Participant due to any Company insider trading policy (including blackout periods) or a “lock-up” agreement undertaken in connection with an issuance of securities by the Company, the term of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be automatically

extended until the date that is 30 days after the end of the legal prohibition, black-out period or lock-up agreement, as determined by the Company; provided, however, in no event shall the extension last beyond the ten year term (or any shorter maximum, if applicable) of the applicable Option or Stock Appreciation Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted under Applicable Laws, if the Participant, prior to the end of the term of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, violates the non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality or other similar restrictive covenant provisions of any employment contract, confidentiality and nondisclosure agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the right of the Participant and the Participant’s transferees to exercise any Option or Stock Appreciation Right issued to the Participant shall terminate immediately upon such violation, unless the Company otherwise determines.

5.4Exercise. Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised by delivering to the Company (or its Agent) a written notice of exercise, in a form the Administrator approves (which may be electronic and provided through the online platform maintained by an Agent), signed by the person authorized to exercise the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, together with, as applicable, payment in full (i) as specified in Section 5.5 for the number of Shares for which the Award is exercised and (ii) as specified in Section 9.5 for any applicable taxes. Unless the Administrator otherwise determines, an Option or Stock Appreciation Right may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

5.5Payment Upon Exercise. Subject to Section 10.8, any Company insider trading policy (including blackout periods) and Applicable Laws, the exercise price of an Option must be paid by online payment through the Agent’s electronic platform or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Agent (or, in each case, if the Company has no Agent accepting payment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company) or, solely with the consent of the Administrator, by:

(a)cash, wire transfer of immediately available funds or check payable to the order of the Company, provided that the Administrator may limit the use of one of the foregoing payment forms if one or more of the payment forms below is permitted;

(b)if there is a public market for Shares at the time of exercise, unless the Administrator otherwise determines, (A) delivery (including electronically or telephonically to the extent permitted by the Administrator) of an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking by a broker acceptable to the Administrator to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to pay the exercise price, or (B) the Participant’s delivery to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a broker acceptable to the Administrator to deliver promptly to the Company cash or a check sufficient to pay the exercise price; provided that such amount is paid to the Company at such time as may be required by the Administrator;

(c)delivery (either by actual delivery or attestation) of Shares owned by the Participant valued at their Fair Market Value;

(d)surrendering Shares then issuable upon the Option’s exercise valued at their Fair Market Value on the exercise date;

(e)delivery of a promissory note or any other property that the Administrator determines is good and valuable consideration; or

(f)any combination of the above payment forms approved by the Administrator.

5.6Additional Terms of Incentive Stock Options. The Administrator may grant Incentive Stock Options only to employees of the Company, any of its present or future parent or subsidiary corporations, as defined in Sections 424(e) or (f) of the Code, respectively, and any other entities the employees of which are eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options under the Code. If an Incentive Stock Option is granted to a Greater Than 10% Stockholder, the exercise price will not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value on the Option’s grant date, and the term of the Option will not exceed five years. All Incentive Stock Options will be subject to and construed consistently with Section 422 of the Code. By accepting an Incentive Stock Option, the Participant agrees to give prompt notice to the Company of dispositions or other transfers (other than in connection with a Change in Control) of Shares acquired under the Option made within (i) two years from the grant date of the Option or (ii) one year after the transfer of such Shares to the Participant, specifying the date of the disposition or other transfer and the amount the Participant realized, in cash, other property, assumption of indebtedness or other consideration, in such disposition or other transfer. Neither the Company nor the Administrator will be liable to a Participant, or any other party, if an Incentive Stock Option fails or ceases to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code. Any Incentive Stock Option or portion thereof that fails to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code for any reason, including becoming exercisable with respect to Shares having a fair market value exceeding the $100,000 limitation under Treasury Regulation Section 1.422-4, will be a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

ARTICLE VI.

RESTRICTED STOCK; RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

6.1General. The Administrator may grant Restricted Stock, or the right to purchase Restricted Stock, to any Service Provider, subject to the Company’s right to repurchase all or part of such Shares at their issue price or other stated or formula price from the Participant (or to require forfeiture of such Shares) if conditions the Administrator specifies in the Award Agreement are not satisfied before the end of the applicable restriction period or periods that the Administrator establishes for such Award. In addition, the Administrator may grant Restricted Stock Units to Service Providers, which may be subject to vesting and forfeiture conditions during the applicable restriction period or periods, as set forth in an Award Agreement. The Administrator will determine and set forth in the Award Agreement the terms and conditions for each Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Award, subject to the conditions and limitations contained in the Plan.

6.2Restricted Stock.

(a)Dividends. Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock will be entitled to all ordinary cash dividends paid with respect to such Shares, unless the Administrator provides otherwise in the Award Agreement. In addition, unless the Administrator provides otherwise, if any dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, or consist of a dividend or distribution to holders of Common Stock of property other than an ordinary cash dividend, the Shares or other property will be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any award of Restricted Stock, dividends which are paid to holders of Common Stock prior to vesting shall only be paid out to the Participant holding such Restricted Stock to the extent that the vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied. All such dividend payments will be made no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the right to the dividend payment becomes nonforfeitable.

(b)Stock Certificates. The Company may require that the Participant deposit in escrow with the Company (or its designee) any stock certificates issued in respect of Shares of Restricted Stock, together with a stock power endorsed in blank.

6.3Restricted Stock Units.

(a)Settlement. The Administrator may provide that settlement of Restricted Stock Units will occur upon or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Restricted Stock Units vest or will instead be deferred, on a mandatory basis or at the Participant’s election, in a manner intended to comply with Section 409A.

(b)Stockholder Rights. A Participant will have no rights of a stockholder with respect to Shares subject to any Restricted Stock Unit unless and until the Shares are delivered in settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit.

ARTICLE VII.
OTHER STOCK OR CASH BASED AWARDS; DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS

7.1Other Stock or Cash Based Awards. Other Stock or Cash Based Awards may be granted to Participants, including Awards entitling Participants to receive Shares to be delivered in the future and including annual or other periodic or long-term cash bonus awards (whether based on specified Performance Criteria or otherwise), in each case subject to any conditions and limitations in the Plan. Such Other Stock or Cash Based Awards will also be available as a payment form in the settlement of other Awards, as standalone payments and as payment in lieu of compensation to which a Participant is otherwise entitled. Other Stock or Cash Based Awards may be paid in Shares, cash or other property, or any combination of the foregoing, as the Administrator determines. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Administrator will determine the terms and conditions of each Other Stock or Cash Based Award, including any purchase price, performance goal(s) (which may be based on the Performance Criteria), transfer restrictions, and vesting conditions, which will be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. In addition, the Company may adopt subplans or programs under the Plan pursuant to which it makes Awards available in a manner consistent with the terms and conditions of the Plan.

7.2Dividend Equivalents. A grant of Restricted Stock Units or Other Stock or Cash Based Award may provide a Participant with the right to receive Dividend Equivalents, and no dividends or Dividend Equivalents shall be payable with respect to Options or Stock Appreciation Rights. Dividend Equivalents may be paid currently or credited to an account for the Participant, settled in cash or Shares and subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Award with respect to which the Dividend Equivalents are paid and subject to other terms and conditions as set forth in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Dividend Equivalents with respect to an Award shall only be paid out to the Participant to the extent that the vesting

J-4

conditions applicable to the underlying Award are satisfied. All such Dividend Equivalent payments will be made no later than March 15 of the calendar year following calendar year in which the right to the Dividend Equivalent payment becomes nonforfeitable in accordance with the foregoing, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator.

ARTICLE VIII.
ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN COMMON STOCK
AND CERTAIN OTHER EVENTS

8.1Equity Restructuring. In connection with any Equity Restructuring, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VIII, the Administrator will equitably adjust each outstanding Award as it deems appropriate to reflect the Equity Restructuring, which may include adjusting the number and type of securities subject to each outstanding Award and/or the Award’s exercise price or grant price (if applicable), granting new Awards to Participants, and/or making a cash payment to Participants. The adjustments provided under this Section 8.1 will be nondiscretionary and final and binding on the affected Participant and the Company; provided that the Administrator will determine whether an adjustment is equitable.

8.2Corporate Transactions. In the event of any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other property), reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, amalgamation, repurchase, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, or sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or sale or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, Change in Control, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock or other securities of the Company, other similar corporate transaction or event, other unusual or nonrecurring transaction or event affecting the Company or its financial statements or any change in any Applicable Laws or accounting principles, the Administrator, on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, either by the terms of the Award or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event (except that action to give effect to a change in Applicable Law or accounting principles may be made within a reasonable period of time after such change), is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Administrator determines that such action is appropriate in order to (x) prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended by the Company to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award granted or issued under the Plan, (y) to facilitate such transaction or event or (z) give effect to such changes in Applicable Laws or accounting principles:

(a)To provide for the cancellation of any such Award in exchange for either an amount of cash or other property with a value equal to the amount that could have been obtained upon the exercise or settlement of the vested portion of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights under the vested portion of such Award, as applicable; provided that, if the amount that could have been obtained upon the exercise or settlement of the vested portion of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, in any case, is equal to or less than zero, then the Award may be terminated without payment;

(b)To provide that such Award shall vest and, to the extent applicable, be exercisable as to all Shares covered thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the provisions of such Award;

(c)To provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and/or applicable exercise or purchase price, in all cases, as determined by the Administrator;

(d)To make adjustments in the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards and/or with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Article IV hereof on the maximum number and kind of shares which may be issued) and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price or applicable performance goals), and the criteria included in, outstanding Awards;

(e)To replace such Award with other rights or property selected by the Administrator; and/or

(f)To provide that the Award will terminate and cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after the applicable event.

8.3Effect of Non-Assumption in a Change in Control. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.2, if a Change in Control occurs and a Participant’s Award is not continued, converted, assumed, or replaced with a substantially similar award by (a) the Company, or (b) a successor entity or its parent or subsidiary (an “Assumption”), and provided that the Participant has not had a Termination of Service, then, immediately prior to the Change in Control, such Award shall become fully vested, exercisable and/or

J-5

payable, as applicable, and all forfeiture, repurchase and other restrictions on such Award shall lapse, in which case, such Award shall be canceled upon the consummation of the Change in Control in exchange for the right to receive the Change in Control consideration payable to other holders of Common Stock (i) which may be on such terms and conditions as apply generally to holders of Common Stock under the Change in Control documents (including, without limitation, any escrow, earn-out or other deferred consideration provisions) or such other terms and conditions as the Administrator may provide, and (ii) determined by reference to the number of Shares subject to such Award and net of any applicable exercise price; provided that to the extent that any Award constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” that may not be paid upon the Change in Control under Section 409A (to the extent applicable to such Award) without the imposition of taxes thereon under Section 409A, the timing of such payments shall be governed by the applicable Award Agreement (subject to any deferred consideration provisions applicable under the Change in Control documents); and provided, further, that if the amount to which the Participant would be entitled upon the settlement or exercise of such Award at the time of the Change in Control is equal to or less than zero, then such Award may be terminated without payment. The Administrator shall determine whether an Assumption of an Award has occurred in connection with a Change in Control.

8.4Administrative Stand Still. In the event of any pending stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of Company assets to stockholders, or any other extraordinary transaction or change affecting the Shares or the share price of Common Stock, including any Equity Restructuring or any securities offering or other similar transaction, for administrative convenience, the Administrator may refuse to permit the exercise of any Award for up to 60 days before or after such transaction.

8.5General. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or the Administrator’s action under the Plan, no Participant will have any rights due to any subdivision or consolidation of Shares of any class, dividend payment, increase or decrease in the number of Shares of any class or dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or other corporation. Except as expressly provided with respect to an Equity Restructuring under Section 8.1 or the Administrator’s action under the Plan, no issuance by the Company of Shares of any class, or securities convertible into Shares of any class, will affect, and no adjustment will be made regarding, the number of Shares subject to an Award or the Award’s grant or exercise price. The existence of the Plan, any Award Agreements and the Awards granted hereunder will not affect or restrict in any way the Company’s right or power to make or authorize (i) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, (ii) any merger, consolidation dissolution or liquidation of the Company or sale of Company assets or (iii) any sale or issuance of securities, including securities with rights superior to those of the Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares. The Administrator may treat Participants and Awards (or portions thereof) differently under this Article VIII.

ARTICLE IX.
GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS

9.1Transferability. Except as the Administrator may determine or provide in an Award Agreement or otherwise for Awards other than Incentive Stock Options, Awards may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except for certain beneficiary designations, by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or, subject to the Administrator’s consent, pursuant to a domestic relations order, and, during the life of the Participant, will be exercisable only by the Participant. Any permitted transfer of an Award hereunder shall be without consideration, except as required by Applicable Law. References to a Participant, to the extent relevant in the context, will include references to a Participant’s authorized transferee that the Administrator specifically approves.

9.2Documentation. Each Award will be evidenced in an Award Agreement, which may be written or electronic, as the Administrator determines. The Award Agreement will contain the terms and conditions applicable to an Award. Each Award may contain terms and conditions in addition to those set forth in the Plan.

9.3Discretion. Except as the Plan otherwise provides, each Award may be made alone or in addition or in relation to any other Award. The terms of each Award to a Participant need not be identical, and the Administrator need not treat Participants or Awards (or portions thereof) uniformly.

9.4Termination of Status. The Administrator will determine how a Participant’s Disability, death, retirement or authorized leave of absence or any other change or purported change in a Participant’s Service Provider status affects an Award (including whether and when a Termination of Service has occurred) and the extent to which, and the period during which the Participant, the Participant’s legal representative, conservator, guardian or Designated Beneficiary may exercise rights under the Award, if applicable.

J-6

9.5Withholding. Each Participant must pay the Company, or make provision satisfactory to the Administrator for payment of, any taxes required by Applicable Law to be withheld in connection with such Participant’s Awards by the date of the event creating the tax liability. The Company or one of its Subsidiaries may deduct an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations based on the applicable statutory withholding rates (or such other rate as may be determined by the Administrator after considering any accounting consequences or costs) from any payment of any kind otherwise due to a Participant. Subject to Section 10.8 and any Company insider trading policy (including blackout periods), Participants may satisfy such tax obligations through the Agent’s electronic platform or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Agent (or, in each case, if the Company has no Agent accepting payment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company) or, solely with the consent of the Administrator, by (i) cash, wire transfer of immediately available funds or check made payable to the order of the Company, provided that the Administrator may limit the use of the foregoing payment forms in its discretion, (ii) to the extent permitted by the Administrator, in whole or in part by delivery of Shares, including Shares delivered by attestation and Shares retained from the Award creating the tax obligation, valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of delivery, (iii) if there is a public market for Shares at the time the tax obligations are satisfied, unless the Administrator otherwise determines, (A) delivery (including electronically or telephonically to the extent permitted by the Administrator) of an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking by a broker acceptable to the Administrator to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to satisfy the tax obligations, or (B) delivery by the Participant to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a broker acceptable to the Administrator to deliver promptly to the Company cash or a check sufficient to satisfy the tax withholding; provided that such amount is paid to the Company at such time as may be required by the Administrator, or (iv) to the extent permitted by the Administrator, any combination of the foregoing payment forms approved by the Administrator. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the number of Shares which may be so delivered or retained pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be limited to the number of Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery or retention no greater than the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the maximum individual statutory tax rate in the applicable jurisdiction at the time of such withholding (or such other rate as may be required to avoid the liability classification of the applicable award under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America), and for clarity, may be less than such maximum individual statutory tax rate if so determined by the Administrator. If any tax withholding obligation will be satisfied under clause (ii) above by the Company’s retention of Shares from the Award creating the tax obligation and there is a public market for Shares at the time the tax obligation is satisfied, the Company may elect to instruct any brokerage firm determined acceptable to the Company for such purpose to sell on the applicable Participant’s behalf some or all of the Shares retained and to remit the proceeds of the sale to the Company or its designee, and each Participant’s acceptance of an Award under the Plan will constitute the Participant’s authorization to the Company and instruction and authorization to such brokerage firm to complete the transactions described in this sentence.

9.6Amendment of Award; Repricing. The Administrator may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award, including by substituting another Award of the same or a different type, changing the exercise or settlement date, and converting an Incentive Stock Option to a Non-Qualified Stock Option. The Participant’s consent to such action will be required unless (i) the action, taking into account any related action, does not materially and adversely affect the Participant’s rights under the Award, or (ii) the change is permitted under Article VIII or pursuant to Section 10.6. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Administrator may, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, (i) reduce the exercise price per share of outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or (ii) cancel outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for cash, other Awards or Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with an exercise price per share that is less than the exercise price per share of the original Options or Stock Appreciation Rights.

9.7Conditions on Delivery of Stock. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Shares under the Plan or remove restrictions from Shares previously delivered under the Plan until (i) all Award conditions have been met or removed to the Company’s satisfaction, (ii) as determined by the Company, all other legal matters regarding the issuance and delivery of such Shares have been satisfied, including any applicable securities laws and stock exchange or stock market rules and regulations, and (iii) the Participant has executed and delivered to the Company such representations or agreements as the Administrator deems necessary or appropriate to satisfy any Applicable Laws. The Company’s inability to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which the Administrator determines is necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any securities, will relieve the Company of any liability for failing to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority has not been obtained.

9.8Acceleration. The Administrator may at any time provide that any Award will become immediately vested and fully or partially exercisable, free of some or all restrictions or conditions, or otherwise fully or partially realizable.

9.9Cash Settlement. Without limiting the generality of any other provision of the Plan, the Administrator may provide, in an Award Agreement or subsequent to the grant of an Award, in its discretion, that any Award may be settled in cash, Shares or a combination thereof.

J-7

9.10Broker-Assisted Sales. In the event of a broker-assisted sale of Shares in connection with the payment of amounts owed by a Participant under or with respect to the Plan or Awards, including amounts to be paid under the final sentence of Section 9.5: (i) any Shares to be sold through the broker-assisted sale will be sold on the day the payment first becomes due, or as soon thereafter as practicable; (ii) such Shares may be sold as part of a block trade with other Participants in the Plan in which all participants receive an average price; (iii) the applicable Participant will be responsible for all broker’s fees and other costs of sale, and by accepting an Award, each Participant agrees to indemnify and hold the Company and its Subsidiaries harmless from any losses, costs, damages, or expenses relating to any such sale; (iv) to the extent the Company, its Subsidiaries or their designee receives proceeds of such sale that exceed the amount owed, the Company or its Subsidiary will pay such excess in cash to the applicable Participant as soon as reasonably practicable; (v) the Company, its Subsidiaries and their designees are under no obligation to arrange for such sale at any particular price; and (vi) in the event the proceeds of such sale are insufficient to satisfy the Participant’s applicable obligation, the Participant may be required to pay immediately upon demand to the Company, its Subsidiaries or their designee an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy any remaining portion of the Participant’s obligation.

ARTICLE X.
MISCELLANEOUS

10.1No Right to Employment or Other Status. No person will have any claim or right to be granted an Award, and the grant of an Award will not be construed as giving a Participant the right to continued employment or any other relationship with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The Company and its Subsidiaries expressly reserve the right at any time to dismiss or otherwise terminate their respective relationships with a Participant free from any liability or claim under the Plan or any Award, except as expressly provided in an Award Agreement or in the Plan.

10.2No Rights as Stockholder; Certificates. Subject to the Award Agreement, no Participant or Designated Beneficiary will have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares to be distributed under an Award until becoming the record holder of such Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, unless the Administrator otherwise determines or Applicable Laws require, the Company will not be required to deliver to any Participant certificates evidencing Shares issued in connection with any Award and instead such Shares may be recorded in the books of the Company (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan administrator). The Company may place legends on stock certificates issued under the Plan that the Administrator deems necessary or appropriate to comply with Applicable Laws.

10.3Effective Date and Term of Plan. Unless earlier terminated by the Board, the Plan will become effective on the date on which the Company’s stockholders approve the Plan (the “Effective Date”) and will remain in effect until the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, an Incentive Stock Option may not be granted under the Plan after 10 years from the earlier of (i) the date the Board adopted the Plan or (ii) the date the Company’s stockholders approved the Plan, but Awards previously granted may extend beyond that date in accordance with the Plan. If the Plan is not approved by the Company’s stockholders, the Plan will not become effective and no Awards will be granted under the Plan.

10.4Amendment of Plan. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time; provided that no amendment, other than (a) as permitted by the applicable Award Agreement, (b) as provided under Sections 10.6 and 10.15 hereof, or (c) an amendment to increase the Overall Share Limit, may materially and adversely affect any Award outstanding at the time of such amendment without the affected Participant’s consent. No Awards may be granted under the Plan during any suspension period or after the Plan’s termination. Awards outstanding at the time of any Plan suspension or termination will continue to be governed by the Plan and the Award Agreement, as in effect before such suspension or termination. The Board will obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Laws.

10.5Provisions for Foreign Participants. The Administrator may modify Awards granted to Participants who are foreign nationals or employed outside the United States or establish subplans or procedures under the Plan to address differences in laws, rules, regulations or customs of such foreign jurisdictions with respect to tax, securities, currency, employee benefit or other matters.

10.6Section 409A.

(a)General. To the extent that the Administrator determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A. To the extent applicable, the Plan and the Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A, such that no adverse tax consequences, interest, or penalties under Section 409A apply. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, the Administrator may, without a Participant’s consent, amend this Plan or Awards, adopt policies and

J-8

procedures, or take any other actions (including amendments, policies, procedures and retroactive actions) as are necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of Awards, including any such actions intended to (A) exempt this Plan or any Award from Section 409A, or (B) comply with Section 409A, including regulations, guidance, compliance programs and other interpretative authority that may be issued after an Award’s grant date. The Company makes no representations or warranties as to an Award’s tax treatment under Section 409A or otherwise. The Company will have no obligation under this Section 10.6 or otherwise to avoid the taxes, penalties or interest under Section 409A with respect to any Award and will have no liability to any Participant or any other person if any Award, compensation or other benefits under the Plan are determined to constitute noncompliant “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to taxes, penalties or interest under Section 409A. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement, any payment of “nonqualified deferred compensation” under the Plan that may be made in installments shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments.

(b)Separation from Service. If an Award is subject to and constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A, any payment or settlement of such Award upon a termination of a Participant’s Service Provider relationship will, to the extent necessary to avoid taxes under Section 409A, be made only upon the Participant’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A), whether such “separation from service” occurs upon or after the termination of the Participant’s Service Provider relationship. For purposes of this Plan or any Award Agreement relating to any such payments or benefits, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms means a “separation from service.”

(c)Payments to Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the Plan or any Award Agreement, any payment(s) of “nonqualified deferred compensation” required to be made under an Award subject to Section 409A to a “specified employee” (as defined under Section 409A and as the Administrator determines) due to his or her “separation from service” will, to the extent necessary to avoid taxes under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, be delayed for the six-month period immediately following such “separation from service” (or, if earlier, until the specified employee’s death) and will instead be paid (as set forth in the Award Agreement) on the day immediately following such six-month period or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter (without interest). Any payments of “nonqualified deferred compensation” under such Award payable more than six months following the Participant’s “separation from service” will be paid at the time or times the payments are otherwise scheduled to be made.

10.7Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, no individual acting as a director, officer, other employee or agent of the Company or any Subsidiary will be liable to any Participant, former Participant, spouse, beneficiary, or any other person for any claim, loss, liability, or expense incurred in connection with the Plan or any Award, and such individual will not be personally liable with respect to the Plan because of any contract or other instrument executed in his or her capacity as an Administrator, director, officer, other employee or agent of the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each director, officer, other employee and agent of the Company or any Subsidiary that has been or will be granted or delegated any duty or power relating to the Plan’s administration or interpretation, against any cost or expense (including attorneys’ fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the Administrator’s approval) arising from any act or omission concerning this Plan unless arising from such person’s own fraud or bad faith.

10.8Lock-Up Period. The Company may, at the request of any underwriter representative or otherwise, in connection with registering the offering of any Company securities under the Securities Act, prohibit Participants from, directly or indirectly, selling or otherwise transferring any Shares or other Company securities during a period of up to 180 days following the effective date of a Company registration statement filed under the Securities Act, or such longer period as determined by the underwriter.

10.9Data Privacy. As a condition for receiving any Award, each Participant explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of personal data as described in this section by and among the Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates exclusively for implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates may hold certain personal information about a Participant, including the Participant’s name, address and telephone number; birthdate; social security number, insurance number or other identification number; salary; nationality; job title(s); any Shares held in the Company or its Subsidiaries and affiliates; and Award details, to implement, manage and administer the Plan and Awards (the “Data”). The Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates may transfer the Data amongst themselves as necessary to implement, administer and manage a Participant’s participation in the Plan, and the Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates may transfer the Data to third parties assisting the Company with Plan implementation, administration and management. These recipients may be located in the Participant’s country, or elsewhere, and the Participant’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the recipients’ country. By accepting an Award, each Participant authorizes such recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any required Data transfer to a broker or other third party with whom the Company or

J-9

the Participant may elect to deposit any Shares. The Data related to a Participant will be held only as long as necessary to implement, administer, and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan. A Participant may, at any time, view the Data that the Company and its Subsidiaries hold regarding such Participant, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data regarding such Participant, recommend any necessary corrections to the Data regarding the Participant or refuse or withdraw the consents in this Section 10.9 in writing, without cost, by contacting the local human resources representative. If the Participant refuses or withdraws the consents in this Section 10.9, the Company may cancel Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan and, in the Administrator’s discretion, the Participant may forfeit any outstanding Awards. For more information on the consequences of refusing or withdrawing consent, Participants may contact their local human resources representative.

10.10Severability. If any portion of the Plan or any action taken under it is held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity will not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan will be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provisions had been excluded, and the illegal or invalid action will be null and void.

10.11Governing Documents. If any contradiction occurs between the Plan and any Award Agreement or other written agreement between a Participant and the Company (or any Subsidiary) that the Administrator has approved, the Plan will govern, unless it is expressly specified in such Award Agreement or other written document that the specific provision of the Plan will not apply. For clarity, the foregoing sentence shall not limit the applicability of any additive language contained in an Award Agreement or other written agreement which provides supplemental or additional terms not inconsistent with the Plan.

10.12Governing Law. The Plan and all Awards will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, disregarding any state’s choice-of-law principles requiring the application of a jurisdiction’s laws other than the State of Delaware.

10.13Claw-back Provisions. All Awards (including, without limitation, any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by a Participant upon any receipt or exercise of any Award or upon the receipt or resale of any Shares underlying the Award) shall be subject to the provisions of any claw-back policy implemented by the Company, including, without limitation, any claw-back policy adopted to comply with Applicable Laws (including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder), as and to the extent set forth in such claw-back policy or the Award Agreement.

10.14Titles and Headings. The titles and headings in the Plan are for convenience of reference only and, if any conflict, the Plan’s text, rather than such titles or headings, will control.

10.15Conformity to Securities Laws. Participant acknowledges that the Plan is intended to conform to the extent necessary with Applicable Laws. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan and all Awards will be administered only in conformance with Applicable Laws. To the extent Applicable Laws permit, the Plan and all Award Agreements will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to Applicable Laws.

10.16Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Subsidiary.

10.17Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment under the Plan will be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or other benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary except as expressly provided in writing in such other plan or an agreement thereunder.

11.8“Change in Control” means and includes each of the following:

(a)A transaction or series of transactions (other than an offering of Common Stock to the general public through a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or a transaction or series of transactions that meets the requirements of clauses (i) and (ii) of subsection (c) below) whereby any “person” or related “group” of “persons” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) (other than the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, an employee benefit plan maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or a “person” that, prior to such transaction, directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Company) directly or indirectly acquires beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of securities of the Company possessing more than 50% of the total combined voting power of the Company’s securities outstanding immediately after such acquisition; or

(b)During any period of two consecutive years, individuals who, at the beginning of such period, constitute the Board together with any new Director(s) (other than a Director designated by a person who shall have entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in subsections (a) or (c)) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Directors then still in office who either were Directors at the beginning of the two-year period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof; or

(c)The consummation by the Company (whether directly involving the Company or indirectly involving the Company through one or more intermediaries) of (x) a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or business combination or (y) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets in any single transaction or series of related transactions or (z) the acquisition of assets or stock of another entity, in each case other than a transaction:

J-11

(i)which results in the Company’s voting securities outstanding immediately before the transaction continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the Company or the person that, as a result of the transaction, controls, directly or indirectly, the Company or owns, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or otherwise succeeds to the business of the Company (the Company or such person, the “Successor Entity”)) directly or indirectly, at least a majority of the combined voting power of the Successor Entity’s outstanding voting securities immediately after the transaction, and

(ii)after which no person or group beneficially owns voting securities representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Successor Entity; provided, however, that no person or group shall be treated for purposes of this clause (ii) as beneficially owning 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Successor Entity solely as a result of the voting power held in the Company prior to the consummation of the transaction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change in Control constitutes a payment event with respect to any Award (or portion of any Award) that provides for the deferral of compensation that is subject to Section 409A, to the extent required to avoid the imposition of additional taxes under Section 409A, the transaction or event described in subsection (a), (b) or (c) with respect to such Award (or portion thereof) shall only constitute a Change in Control for purposes of the payment timing of such Award if such transaction also constitutes a “change in control event,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5).

The Administrator shall have full and final authority, which shall be exercised in its discretion, to determine conclusively whether a Change in Control has occurred pursuant to the above definition, the date of the occurrence of such Change in Control and any incidental matters relating thereto; provided that any exercise of authority in conjunction with a determination of whether a Change in Control is a “change in control event” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) shall be consistent with such regulation.

11.12“Company” means Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, or any successor.

11.20“Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

11.21“Fair Market Value” means, as of any date, the value of a Share determined as follows: (a) if the Common Stock is listed on any established stock exchange, its Fair Market Value will be the closing sales price for such Common Stock as quoted on such exchange for such date, or if no sale occurred on such date, the last day preceding such date during which a sale occurred, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or another source the Administrator deems reliable; (b) if the Common Stock is not traded on a stock exchange but is quoted on a national market or other quotation system, the closing sales price on such date, or if no sales occurred on such date, then on the last date preceding such date during which a sale occurred, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or another source the Administrator deems reliable; or (c) without an established market for the Common Stock, the Administrator will determine the Fair Market Value in its discretion.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Award granted on the pricing date of the Company’s initial public offering, the Fair Market Value shall mean the initial public offering price of a Share as set forth in the Company’s final prospectus relating to its initial public offering filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20.   Indemnification of directors and officers.

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful default, willful neglect, civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. ACE’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provided for indemnification of ACE’s officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by law, including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, willful default or willful neglect.

ACE has entered into agreements with ACE’s officers and directors to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in ACE’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. ACE has purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures ACE’s officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against ACE’s obligations to indemnify ACE’s officers and directors.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, ACE has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 22.   Undertakings.

1.    The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

A. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement.

B. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post- effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus will be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

C. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

D. That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, will be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

E. That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

2.    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by them is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

3.    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

4.    The registrant undertakes that every prospectus: (1) that is filed pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, or (2) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment will be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

5.    The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form S-4, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the Registration Statement through the date of responding to the request.

6.    The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the Registration Statement when it became effective.
