| COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | 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. 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. On March 16, 2022, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. agreed that the deferred fee may be paid in shares of common stock of Domesticated ACE, subject to certain terms and conditions. Termination of Proposed Achronix Business Combination 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 the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company disclosed that the SEC informed the Company that it was investigating certain disclosures made in the Form S-4 relating to the proposed business combination with Achronix. On July 11, 2021, the Company and Achronix entered into a termination and release agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed to mutually terminate the Achronix Merger Agreement relating to the proposed business combination with Achronix. 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.” 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, and as amended on September 7, 2022, and September 23, 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. 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. On September 23, 2022, ACE and Tempo entered into the Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, that all awards of Tempo RSUs that are outstanding at the closing of the Tempo Business Combination will, at the effective time of the Tempo Business Combination, be converted into (a) Domesticated ACE RSUs and (b) the right to receive a number of earnout shares. 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 550,000 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 $5.5 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. On September 4, 2022, Tempo, ACE, OCM and Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (“Oaktree”) agreed to reduce such termination fee to 0.6% of the aggregate principal amount of the subscribed notes (approximately $1.1 million) if the closing of the Tempo Business Combination occurs on or before October 15, 2022 (the “Specified Fee Date”), to be paid on the earlier of (i) six months after the closing of the Tempo Business Combination 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 of the Tempo Business Combination and (y) the Outside Business Combination Date (as defined below). The reduced termination fee and all other fees and expenses owed to OCM under such agreement will accrue interest at a rate of 20% per year, compounding monthly, starting on October 15, 2022. If the Tempo Business Combination has not been consummated prior to the Specified Fee Date, 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 October 11, 2022, Tempo, ACE, OCM and Oaktree entered into a letter agreement pursuant to which the Specified Fee Date was amended to November 15, 2022. Additionally, in March 2022, 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 July 1, 2022, ACE and Tempo entered into that certain First Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement Amendment”), 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 earnout shares issuable to eligible Tempo equity holders (the “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 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 Tempo 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 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 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. On September 23, 2022, ACE and Tempo entered into the Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, that all awards of Tempo RSUs that are outstanding at the closing of the Tempo Business Combination will, at the effective time of the Tempo Business Combination, be converted into (a) Domesticated ACE RSUs and (b) the right to receive a number of Tempo Earnout Shares. 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 On September 7, 2022, ACE entered into Third Amended and Restated Subscription Agreements (the “Third A&R PIPE Subscription Agreements”) with each of the PIPE Investors, which amend and restate the applicable Second A&R Subscription Agreements in their entirety. One of the Third Party PIPE Investors who entered into a Second A&R Subscription Agreement did not enter into a 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 Domesticated ACE common stock to each PIPE Investor in the event that the volume weighted average price per share of Domesticated ACE 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 Domesticated ACE 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 Domesticated ACE common stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Domesticated ACE 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 therein) 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 Domesticated ACE 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 Domesticated ACE common stock equal to the lesser of (1) such PIPE Investor’s pro rata portion of 500,000 additional shares of Domesticated ACE 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 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 (as defined below), 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 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 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 The Closing 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) the absence of any legal restraints on the Closing, and (iii) receipt of approval for listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) the shares of Domesticated ACE common stock to be issued in connection with the Merger.

The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing (i) by mutual written consent of ACE and Tempo, (ii) by Tempo, if certain approvals of the shareholders of ACE, to the extent required under the Merger Agreement, are not obtained as set forth therein or if there is a Modification in Recommendation (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (iii) by ACE, if certain approvals of the stockholders of Tempo, to the extent required under the Merger Agreement, are not obtained within five business days of the effective date of the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (iv) by either ACE or Tempo in certain other circumstances set forth in the Merger Agreement, including (a) if any Governmental Authority (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall have issued or otherwise entered a final, non-appealable order making consummation of the Merger illegal or otherwise preventing or prohibiting consummation of the Merger and (b) in the event of certain uncured breaches by the other party or if the Closing has not occurred on or before December 13, 2022 (the “Agreement End Date”), unless ACE is in material breach of the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement also provides that, if the proxy statement for ACE’s shareholder meeting to approve the Tempo Business Combination has not been mailed by August 30, 2022, then ACE will file a proxy statement to extend the date by which it must complete an initial business combination by at least three months, to such date as may be agreed in writing between ACE and Tempo. Concurrently with the execution of the original Agreement and Plan of Merger in October 2021 (the “Original Merger Agreement”), an affiliate of the Sponsor (such affiliate, 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).

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.

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.
