Description of Organization and Business Operations | |
Description of Organization and Business Operations | Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations Chain Bridge I (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on January 21, 2021. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses that the Company had not yet identified as of December 31, 2023 (“Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. All activity for the period from January 21, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 st The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on November 9, 2021. On November 15, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), including 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments (the “Over-Allotment Units”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $5.7 million, of which approximately $254,000 was for offering costs allocated to derivative warrant liabilities. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 10,550,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant to CBG and CB Co-Investment LLC (“CB Co-Investment”), generating proceeds of approximately $10.6 million (Note 4). In addition, upon closing of the Initial Public Offering, CB Co-Investment loaned the Company $1,150 thousand at no interest (the “CB Co-Investment Loan”). On November 16, 2022, CBG agreed to loan the Company up to $1,200 thousand pursuant to an unsecured non-interest bearing convertible promissory note (“Additional Convertible Note”). Such Additional Convertible Note will not be repaid in the event that the Company is unable to close a Business Combination unless there are funds available outside the Trust Account to do so. Such Additional Convertible Note would either be paid upon consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, or, at the discretion of CBG, converted into additional warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, which warrants will be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had an outstanding balance of $0 and $350,000, respectively, under the Additional Convertible Note. (Note 5). Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, $234.6 million ($10.20 per Unit) of net proceeds, including the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement and the proceeds from the convertible promissory note issued to CB Co-Investment, were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee and invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act, having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below. On October 13, 2022, the Company approved the grant of 30,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to David G. Brown, then a member of the Board of Directors. Such RSUs will be granted to Mr. Brown upon consummation of a Business Combination and shareholder approval of an incentive plan pursuant to which such RSUs will be issued, subject to the Letter Agreement. (see Note 6). On May 10, 2023, the Company, CBG, and CB Co-Investment entered into non-redemption agreements with several unaffiliated third parties in exchange for such third parties agreeing not to redeem an aggregate of 4,000,000 ordinary shares of the Company sold in its Initial Public Offering at an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders held on May 12, 2023 (the “Special Meeting”). In exchange for the foregoing commitments not to redeem such shares, CBG and CB Co-Investment, as applicable, agreed to transfer to such third parties an aggregate of 1,000,000 ordinary shares of the Company held by CBG or CB Co-Investment, as applicable, plus up to an additional aggregate of 500,000 ordinary shares of the Company held by CBG or CB Co-Investment, as applicable, with such number of additional ordinary shares of the Company to be determined based upon the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination. Such transfer of ordinary shares of the Company shall be effected immediately following the consummation of the Company’s business combination if such third party or third parties continued to hold such shares through the Special Meeting. In connection with such shareholder vote, the holders of an aggregate of 18,848,866 Class A ordinary shares of the Company exercised their right to redeem their shares for an aggregate of approximately $197,854,025 in cash held in the Trust Account. At the Special Meeting, the shareholders of the Company approved the amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of incorporation which was , which extended the date to consummate a Business Combination from May 15, 2023 to November 15, 2023, and allowed the Board, without another shareholder vote, to elect to further extend the date to consummate an a Business Combination after November 15, 2023 up to three times, by an additional month each time, up to February 15, 2024. In November and December 2023, the Company’s Board elected to extend the date through December 15, 2023 and January 15, 2024, respectively. On June 13, 2023, the Company received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that since the Company’s aggregate market value of its outstanding warrants was less than $1 million, the Company was no longer in compliance with the Nasdaq Global Market continued listing criteria set forth in Listing Rule 5452(b)(C), which requires the Company to maintain an aggregate market value of its outstanding warrants of at least $1 million (the “Notice”). The Notice additionally indicates that the Company, pursuant to the Listing Rules had until July 28, 2023, to submit a plan to regain compliance. The Company did not submit to Nasdaq such a plan to regain compliance. Effective September 8, 2023, the Company’s warrants ceased trading on Nasdaq Global Market. On June 14, 2023, the board of directors of the Company approved the grant of 30,000 RSUs to Mr. Roger Lazarus as compensation for services provided to the Company. Such RSUs will be granted to Mr. Lazarus upon consummation of a Business Combination and shareholder approval of an incentive plan pursuant to which such RSUs will be issued, subject to the Letter Agreement. (see Note 6). Effective as of December 4, 2023, the Company’s Class A ordinary shares and Units ceased trading on Nasdaq Global Market and commenced trading on Nasdaq Capital Market On December 29, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), the Company, CBG, CB Co-Investment and Fulton AC, consummated the transactions contemplated by that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), dated December 8, 2023, pursuant to which Fulton AC acquired from the CBG and CB Co-Investment an aggregate of (i) 3,035,000 Class B ordinary shares and (ii) warrants to purchase 7,385,000 Class A ordinary shares exercisable 30 days after the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination. As of the Closing Date, and in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement: (1) CB Co-Investment irrevocably agreed to convert the $1.15 million CB Co-Investment loan into Loan Conversion Warrants (as contemplated and defined in that certain Warrant Agreement, dated November 9, 2021 by and between the Company and our transfer agent (the “Warrant Agreement”)), upon consummation of the Company’s initial business combination. Pursuant to its terms, if we do not consummate an initial business combination, the CB Co-Investment Loan will not be repaid, and 805,000, 273,431 and 71,569 of the Loan Conversion Warrants will be issued to Fulton AC, CBG and CB Co-Investment, respectively. All other existing indebtedness of the Company was terminated as of the Closing Date (see Note 5). (2) CBG, CB Co-Investment and Roger Lazarus, our Chief Financial Officer, entered into voting agreements (the “Voting Agreements”) pursuant to which they agreed to vote all of the voting securities of the Company that each of them is entitled to vote as of the date thereof or thereafter in favor of a proposal to amend and restate its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, which was adopted by the Company upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”), (the “Amendment Proposal”) to among other things: (i) extend from February 15, 2024 to November 15, 2024 the date by which, if the Company has not consummated its initial business combination, the Company must (a) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (b) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten not be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account through redemptions or otherwise. Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, each of CBG, CB Co-Investment and Roger Lazarus have also agreed to irrevocably exercise such right to convert all of their Class B ordinary shares immediately upon such approval. (3) Fulton AC and the parties to that certain letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”), dated November 9, 2021, by and among CBG, CB Co-Investment, and certain individuals, entered into an amendment to the Letter Agreement (the “Letter Agreement Amendment”), pursuant to which Fulton AC agreed to become a party to the Letter Agreement and be bound by, and subject to, all of the terms and conditions of the Letter Agreement and agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (excluding our independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective partner business with which we have discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.20 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.20 per public share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay our tax obligations, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective partner business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public 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, Fulton AC will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. (4) That certain services agreement, dated November 9, 2021, by and between the Company and CBG pursuant to which CBG provided office space, administrative and support services, was terminated. (5) The Company and Franklin Strategic Series – Franklin Growth Opportunities Fund (“Franklin”) entered into a Letter Agreement terminating that certain Forward Purchase Agreement, dated November 1, 2021, by and between the Company and Franklin. On December 29, 2023, Fulton AC agreed to loan the Company up to $1.5 million pursuant to an unsecured non-interest bearing convertible promissory note (the “Fulton AC Note”) at no interest in the same form and on the same terms as the CBG note which was terminated on December 29, 2023. The Fulton AC Note will not be repaid in the event that the Company is unable to close a Business Combination unless there are funds available outside the Trust Account to do so. The Fulton AC Note will either be paid upon consummation of the Company’s initial business combination, or, at the discretion Fulton AC, converted into additional warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, which warrants will be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Fulton AC also entered into a Services Agreement with the Company on December 29, 2023 (the “Fulton Services Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company will pay Fulton AC up to $30,000 per month for the cost of the use of the Company’s office space, administrative and support services. Upon completion of our initial business combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. Effective as of the Closing Date, all of the Company’s officers, other than the Chief Financial Officer, and the entirety of the Board of Directors resigned. Further, the size of the Board of Directors was decreased from five to four members. Prior to resigning, the Board of Directors appointed Andrew Cohen, Daniel Wainstein, Lewis Silberman and Paul Baron to fill the vacancies and appointed Andrew Cohen as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Roger Lazarus, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer continued to serve as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. On December 29, 2023, the Company entered into letter agreements with each Mr. Silberman, Mr. Baron and Mr. Lazarus, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to grant each of them 50,000, 50,000 and 70,000 RSUs of the Company, respectively, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, including consummation of a Business Combination and shareholder approval of an incentive plan pursuant to which such RSUs will be issued. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of its Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants and the proceeds from the promissory note issued to CB Co-Investment, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company’s initial Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time the Company signs a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the partner business or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the partner business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. The Company will provide its 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 a 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. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account. The Company expects the pro rata price to be at least $10.20 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). These Public Shares will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC Topic 480”). In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to the 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 with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, a shareholder approval of the transactions is required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction or whether they were a Public Shareholder on the record date for the general meeting held to approve the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, Fulton AC, CBG, CB Co-Investment and our current and former directors and officers agreed to vote their Class B ordinary shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, Fulton AC, CBG, CB Co-Investment and our current and former directors and officers agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Class B ordinary shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination. In addition, the Company agreed not to enter into a definitive agreement regarding an initial Business Combination without the prior consent of CBG, or after the Amendment to the Letter Agreement discussed below, Fulton AC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Class A ordinary shares sold in the Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company. Fulton AC, CBG, CB Co-Investment and our current and former directors and officers have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect Class B ordinary shares held by them if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination by the Termination Date. However, if such shareholders acquire Public Shares, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination by the Termination Date. The underwriters agreed to waive their rights to the Marketing Fee (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination by the Termination Date and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares. 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 auditor 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 an emerging growth 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 statement 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. Risks and Uncertainties Management continues to evaluate the current or anticipated military conflicts, including between Russia and Ukraine, and Israel and Hamas, terrorism, sanctions or other geopolitical events as well as adverse developments in the economy and capital markets, including rising energy costs, inflation and interest rates, in the United States and globally, on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that these events could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. On March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) as receiver. On March 12, 2023, the FDIC, the Department of Treasury and the Federal Reserve issued a joint statement indicating that actions would be taken to complete the FDIC’s resolution of SVB in a manner that protects depositors. The financial institution was reopened by the FDIC on March 13, 2023, with customers having full access to their deposits and debt facilities as at the time of the closure. On March 26, 2023, the FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption agreement for all deposits and loans of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, National Association with First Citizens Bank & Trust Company. Management has evaluated the situation and since the Company is not a borrower or party to any such instruments with SVB or any other financial institution currently in receivership, there is no material impact on the financial statements of the Company. On May 1, 2023, First Republic Bank was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which appointed the FDIC as receiver. To protect depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, Columbus, Ohio, to assume all of the deposits and substantially all of the assets of First Republic Bank. Management evaluated the situation and determined there is no material impact on the financial statements of the Company. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $3,898 in its operating bank account and working capital deficit of $61,449. The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from CBG and CB Co-Investment to cover for certain expenses on behalf of the Company in exchange for issuance of Class B ordinary shares (as defined in Note 5) and a loan from related party of approximately $244,000. The Company fully repaid the Note on November 17, 2021. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account and the issuance of the Convertible Notes. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there was $0 and $1,500,000, respectively, outstanding under the working capital loans (convertible notes). The Company has until November 15, 2024 to consummate an initial Business Combination. If the Company has not consummated a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company, with one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”), the Company must (a) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (b) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Class A ordinary shares sold in the Company’s Initial Public Offering (the “Public Shares”); and (c) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law. In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has determined that the liquidity condition and the date for mandatory liquidation and 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 November 15, 2024. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. |

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying 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. Use of Estimates The preparation of 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates require 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 . Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term investments original maturity three months less when purchased equivalents. the Company no cash equivalents. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) coverage limit of $250,000 per institution. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts. Financial Instruments The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under the ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” equal or approximate the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheets primarily due to their short-term nature . Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers consist of: ● Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets; ● Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and ● Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1. Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Upon completion of the Initial Public Offering, offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to the derivative warrant liabilities were charged to operations. Offering costs associated with the Class A ordinary shares were charged against the carrying value of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of the financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, and forward purchase agreements, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC Topic 480 and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC Topic 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, will be re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative warrant liabilities will be classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities. The 22,050,000 warrants that were issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (including the 11,500,000 warrants included in the Units and the 10,550,000 Private Placement Warrants) and the 4,000,000 forward purchase securities (“Forward Purchase Securities”), were recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 815. Accordingly, the Company recognized the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjust the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities will be subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised. The fair value of the Forward Purchase Securities, Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants were initially measured using a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair value of Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering have subsequently been measured based on the listed market price of such Public Warrants. As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Forward Purchase Securities are measured using a Monte Carlo simulation, and the fair value of the convertible note is measured using Black-Scholes model. On December 26, 2023, in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Forward Purchase Agreement, dated November 1, 2021, was terminated. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the fair value of Private Placement Warrants was determined based on the quoted price of the Public Warrants. Class A ordinary shares Subject to Possible Redemption The Company accounts for the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480. Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A 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 our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, 4,151,134 and 23,000,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheets, respectively. On May 12, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) at which the Company’s shareholders approved a proposal to amend the Company’s existing Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend from May 15, 2023 to November 15, 2023 (the “Extended Date”) and to allow the board of directors of the Company, without another shareholder vote, to elect to further extend the date to consummate an initial Business Combination after the Extended Date up to three times, by an additional month each time, up to February 15, 2024, the date by which, if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination, the Company must: (a) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (b) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the amounts of Class A ordinary shares reflected on the balance sheets are reconciled in the following table: Gross proceeds from Initial Public Offering $ 230,000,000 Less: Fair value of Public Warrants at issuance (8,740,000) Offering costs allocated to Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption (5,469,344) Plus: Deemed dividend - increase in redemption value of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption 18,809,344 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, December 31, 2021 234,600,000 Plus: Deemed dividend - increase in redemption value of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption 3,096,114 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, December 31, 2022 237,696,114 Plus: Deemed dividend - increase in redemption value of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption 5,165,552 Waiver of offering costs allocated to Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption 248,593 Less: Redemptions of Class A ordinary shares (197,854,025) Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, December 31, 2023 $ 45,256,234 Net Income Per Share The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Income are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net income by the weighted average shares of ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period. The calculation of diluted net income does not consider the effect of the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering (including the consummation of the over-allotment) and the Private Placement Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 22,050,000 The Company has considered the effect of Class B ordinary shares that were excluded from weighted average number as they were contingent on the exercise of over-allotment option by the underwriters. Since the contingency was satisfied, the Company has included these shares in the weighted average number as of the beginning of the period to determine the dilutive impact of these shares. The table below presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net income per share for each class of ordinary shares: For the Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 Class A Class B Class A Class B Basic and diluted net income per ordinary share Numerator: Allocation of net income $ 5,041,607 $ 2,582,350 $ 8,566,792 $ 2,141,698 Denominator: Basic and diluted weighted average ordinary shares outstanding 11,225,914 5,750,000 23,000,000 5,750,000 Basic and diluted net income per ordinary share $ 0.45 $ 0.45 $ 0.37 $ 0.37 Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions”. The ASU amends ASC Topic 820 to clarify that a contractual sales restriction is not considered in measuring an equity security at fair value and to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value. The ASU applies to both holders and issuers of equity and equity-linked securities measured at fair value. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is still evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on the financial statements. Management believe other recently issued, but effective, accounting standards would have material accompanying financial statements. |

Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination prior to November 15, 2024, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable except as described below in Note 8 and exercisable on a cashless basis. CBG and the Company’s officers and directors agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination. |

Related Party Transactions | Note 5 — Related Party Transactions Class B Ordinary Shares On February 3, 2021, CBG and CB Co-Investment paid an aggregate of $25,000 for certain expenses on behalf of the Company in exchange for issuance of an aggregate of 8,625,000 Class B ordinary shares (the “Class B ordinary shares”). CBG purchased 7,195,714 of the Class B ordinary shares and CB Co-Investment purchased 1,429,286 of the Class B ordinary shares. On April 9, 2021, CB Co-Investment transferred 28,571 Class B ordinary shares to CBG at their original purchase price. On October 1, 2021, CBG forfeited 2,408,095 and CB Co-Investment forfeited 466,905 Class B ordinary shares, in each case, for no consideration. On November 9, 2021, CBG transferred an aggregate of 156,000 Class B ordinary shares to three of the Company’s directors, the chief financial officer and two of the Company’s advisors. As a result, CBG had 4,660,190 Class B ordinary shares and CB Co-Investment had 933,810 Class B ordinary shares outstanding. The transfer of the Class B ordinary shares is in the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The Class B ordinary shares were granted subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination). Compensation expense related to the Class B ordinary shares is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence under the applicable accounting literature in this circumstance. As of December 31, 2023, the Company determined that a Business Combination is not considered probable, and, therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized. Stock-based compensation would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable (i.e., upon consummation of a Business Combination) in an amount equal to the number of Class B ordinary shares that ultimately vest multiplied times the grant date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the purchase of the Class B ordinary shares. CBG and CB Co-Investment agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 750,000 Class B ordinary shares to the extent that the option to purchase additional Units was not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the Class B ordinary shares would represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full on November 15, 2021; thus, these 750,000 Class B ordinary shares were no longer subject to forfeiture. On October 13, 2022, Nathanial Fick agreed to a transfer all 25,000 of the Class B Shares held by Mr. Fick to CBG. Fulton AC, CBG, CB Co-Investment, and the current and former executive officers and directors of the Company, agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Class B ordinary shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property, Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, the Class B ordinary shares will be released from the lockup. Related Party Loans Promissory Note to CBG On February 1, 2021, CBG agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 to be used for the payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). The Note was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Company had borrowed approximately $244,000 under the Note. The Company fully repaid Convertible Note – Related Party Upon closing of the Initial Public Offering, CB Co-Investment loaned the Company approximately $1.15 million to deposit into Trust Account, in exchange for a non-interest bearing, unsecured convertible promissory note (“Convertible Note”). Such Convertible Note would not be repaid in the event that the Company is unable to close a Business Combination unless there are funds available outside the Trust Account to do so. Such promissory note would either be paid upon consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, or, at the discretion of CB Co-Investment and/or its designees, converted into additional warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. On November 16, 2022, CBG agreed to loan the Company up to $1.2 million pursuant to an unsecured non-interest bearing convertible promissory note (“Additional Convertible Note”). Such Additional Convertible Note will not be repaid in the event that the Company is unable to close a Business Combination unless there are funds available outside the Trust Account to do so. Such Additional Convertible Note would either be paid upon consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, or, at the discretion CBG, converted into additional warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, which warrants will be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, a total of $1,201,899 and $350,000, respectively, have been drawn under the Additional Convertible Note. In connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, CB Co-Investment irrevocably agreed to convert the $1.15 million loan (the “Conversion Amount”) by CB Co-Investment to the Company at a conversion price of $1.00 per warrant, or 1,150,000 warrants (“Loan Conversion Warrants”), upon consummation of a Business Combination. Upon consummation of a Business Combination, 805,000, 273,431 and 71,569 of the Loan Conversion Warrants will be issued to Fulton AC, CBG and CB Co-Investment, respectively. All other existing indebtedness was terminated as of the Closing Date. As a result, the Convertible Note was converted into contingently issuable private placement warrants on the balance sheet and marked to market as of December 31, 2023. Additionally, CBG irrevocably agreed to terminate all outstanding loans to the Company. Accordingly, all debt proceeds received under the Additional Convertible Note was recognized as a capital contribution from CBG. Working Capital Loan In addition, in order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, On December 29, 2023, Fulton AC agreed to loan the Company up to $1.5 million pursuant to an unsecured non-interest bearing convertible promissory note (the “Fulton AC Note”) in the same form and on the same terms as the CBG note. The Fulton AC Note will not be repaid in the event that the Company is unable to close a Business Combination unless there are funds available outside the Trust Account to do so. The Fulton AC Note will either be paid upon consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, or, at the discretion Fulton AC, converted into additional warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, which warrants will be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Additionally, Fulton AC or an affiliate of Fulton AC, 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”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans may be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. 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 Fulton AC Note and the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1.5 million of the Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there was Except for the Fulton AC Loan, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. Administrative Services Agreement On November 9, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement that provided that, the Company pay CBG $20,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to the Company through the earlier of consummation of the initial Business Combination and the liquidation. On July 14, 2022, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement with CBG, to increase the amount payable to CBG (in an amount not to exceed the aggregate sum of $30,000 per month). For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company incurred expenses of $350,323 under this agreement. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred expenses of $300,000 under this agreement. On December 29, 2023, the Company and CBG entered into a Letter Agreement terminating the administrative service agreement, dated November 9, 2021, by and between the Company and CBG. In addition, Fulton AC, the Company’s officers and directors, and any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf such as identifying potential partner businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. The audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by the Company to Fulton AC, the Company’s officers or directors, or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial Business Combination will be made from funds held outside the Trust Account. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no outstanding balance payable to a related party as it relates to this agreement. On December 29, 2023, Fulton AC entered into a Services Agreement with the Company (the “Fulton Services Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company will pay Fulton AC up to $30,000 per month for the cost of the use of the Company’s office space, administrative and support services.

Commitments and Contingencies | Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies Registration Rights and Shareholder Rights The holders of the Class B ordinary shares, Private Placement Warrants, Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants, the Forward Purchase Securities and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Note and the Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, Forward Purchase Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of such loans) were entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement signed upon the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The Forward Purchase Securities were terminated on December 29, 2023. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. Business Combination Marketing Agreement On November 9, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with one of the underwriters in its Initial Public Offering, Cowen and Company, LLC, as advisors in connection with the Company’s Business Combination to assist the Company in holding meetings with the shareholders to discuss the potential Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested in purchasing the Company’s securities in connection with the potential Business Combination, assist the Company in obtaining shareholder approval for the Business Combination and assist the Company with its press releases and public filings in connection with the Business Combination. The Company agreed to pay a fee for such services (the “Marketing Fee”) upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination in an amount equal to, in the aggregate, 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or approximately $8.1 million in the aggregate. The Marketing Fee was waived by Cowen as of December 29, 2023. Forward Purchase Agreement Franklin Strategic Series — Franklin Growth Opportunities Fund (“Franklin”) on November 1, 2021 entered into a forward purchase agreement (“Forward Purchase Agreement”) with the Company that provides for the purchase by Franklin, in the aggregate, of 6,000,000 Forward Purchase Securities, for an aggregate purchase price of $40.0 million, with each Forward Purchase Security consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one The Forward Purchase Securities will not have any redemption rights in connection with the initial Business Combination and will not be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame. The Forward Purchase Securities, to the extent issued prior to the record date for a shareholder vote on the initial Business Combination or any other matter, will have the right to vote on such matter with all other holders of the outstanding Class A ordinary shares; provided that if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination after Franklin has purchased the Forward Purchase Securities, Franklin agreed under the Forward Purchase Agreement to vote any of the Class A ordinary shares owned by Franklin in favor of any proposed initial Business Combination. The Forward Purchase Securities sold pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement will be identical to the Class A ordinary shares and redeemable warrants included in the Units being sold in the Initial Public Offering, except as described herein. In addition, the Forward Purchase Securities will have certain registration rights, so long as such Forward Purchase Securities are held by Franklin or any third party to which Franklin transfers any portion of its obligation under the Forward Purchase Agreement. The capital from such private placement would be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the initial Business Combination, and any excess capital from such private placement would be used for working capital in the post-transaction company. Effective as of the Closing Date, in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company and Franklin entered into a Letter Agreement terminating that certain Forward Purchase Agreement, dated November 1, 2021, by and between the Company and Franklin. Non-Redemptions Agreements As discussed more fully in Note 1, in exchange for the commitments not to redeem certain Class A ordinary shares in connection with the Special Meeting, CBG and CB Co-Investment agreed to transfer an aggregate of 1,000,000 ordinary shares of the Company held by CBG or CB Co-Investment as applicable, plus up to an additional aggregate of 500,000 ordinary shares of the Company held by CBG or CB Co-Investment, with such number of additional ordinary shares of the Company to be determined based upon the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of a weighted number of Class B ordinary shares, based on the likelihood of consummating an initial Business Combination beyond November 15, 2023, or 1,166,663 Class B ordinary shares, attributable to the non-redeeming shareholder be $4,802,931 or $4.12 per share. Each non-redeeming shareholder acquired from CBG an indirect economic interest in the Class B ordinary shares. The excess of the fair value of the Class B ordinary shares was determined to be an offering cost in accordance with the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A – Expenses of Offering. Accordingly, in substance, it was recognized by the Company as a capital contribution by CBG to induce these holders of the Class A ordinary shares not to redeem, with a corresponding charge to additional paid-in capital to recognize the fair value of the shares transferred as an offering cost. The fair value of the Class B ordinary shares were based on a Monte Carlo Model using the following significant inputs: May 10, 2023 Stock price $ 10.42 Risk free rate 4.25 % Remaining life 1.56 Volatility 5.4 % Probability of transaction 40 % Letter and Joinder Agreement On October 13, 2022, David G.

Pursuant to the Joinder Agreement, Mr. Lazarus became a party to that certain Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement, dated November 9, 2021, among the Company, CBG, CB Co-Investment and certain equity holders of the Company, which provides for, among other things, customary demand and piggy-back registration rights. On December 29, 2023, the Letter Agreement was amended to add Fulton AC as a party thereto, subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Letter Agreement. Pursuant to the Amendment to the Letter Agreement, Fulton AC also agreed that it will indemnify the Trust Account for certain amounts as further described in Note 1. On December 29, 2023, each Daniel Wainstein, Andrew Cohen, Lewis Silberman and Paul Baron executed joinders to become a party to the Letter Agreement and be bound by, and subject to, all of the terms and conditions of the Letter Agreement, including to vote any Class B ordinary shares and Class A ordinary shares held by each of them in favor of the Company’s initial Business Combination and certain transfer restrictions with respect to the Company’s securities.

Shareholders' Deficit | Note 7 — Shareholders’ Deficit Preference Shares Class A ordinary shares Class B ordinary shares our then officers and directors for no consideration to the extent that the underwriters’ overallotment option was not exercised in full, so that CBG, CB Co-Investment and our then officers and directors would collectively own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full on November 15, 2021; thus, these 750,000 Class B ordinary shares were no longer subject to forfeiture. Class A and Class B ordinary shareholders of record are entitled to one vote The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares on the first business day following the consummation of the initial Business Combination at a ratio such that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of (i) the total number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, plus the sum of the total number of Class A ordinary 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 initial Business Combination (net of any redemptions of Class A ordinary shares by Public Shareholders), excluding any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, deemed issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination, and any Forward Purchase Securities and any Private Placement Warrants issued to Fulton AC, CBG or CB Co-Investment, former and current officers and directors of the Company or any of their affiliates upon conversion of the Convertible Note and Working Capital Loans. In no event will the Class B ordinary shares convert into Class A ordinary shares at a rate of less than one-to-one.

Public Warrants may exercised for number shares. No fractional Public issued separation Units whole Public Warrants trade. The Public Warrants become exercisable later The warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. 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 the initial 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 board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to Franklin, CBG, CB Co-Investment and each other holder of Class B Shares upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering or their affiliates, without taking into account any Class B ordinary shares held by CBG, CB Co-Investment and each other holder of Class B Shares upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering or such affiliates, as applicable, or any forward purchase securities held by Franklin, prior to such issuance including any transfer or reissuance of such shares) (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 the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of Class A ordinary shares during the 10-trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price (and the $10.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price See “— Redemption of warrants for cash when the price per class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00” and “— Redemption of warrants for Class A ordinary shares when the price per class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00” as described below). The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except (i) that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon 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, (ii) except as described below, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by CBG, CB Co-Investment or their respective permitted transferees and (iii) CBG or its permitted transferees will have the option to exercise the Private Placement Warrants on a cashless basis and have certain registration rights. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than CBG or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. Redemption of warrant when the price per share of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 become exercisable, Company redeem the outstanding cash: ● in whole and not in part; ● at a price of $0.01 per warrant; ● upon a minimum of 30 days ’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and ● if, and only if, the closing price of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) 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 (the “Reference Value”). Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00 . Once become exercisable, Company redeem the outstanding ● in whole and not in part; ● at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 day s’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of Class A ordinary shares to be determined by reference to an agreed table based on the redemption date and the “fair value” of Class A ordinary shares; ● if, and only if, the closing price of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00 per Public Share (as adjusted per share subdivisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within the 30 -trading day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and ● if the Reference Value is less than $ 18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like), then the Private Placement Warrants must also concurrently be called for redemption on the same terms (except as described herein with respect to a holder’s ability to cashless exercise its warrants) as the outstanding Public Warrants as described above. The “fair value” of Class A ordinary shares for the above purpose shall mean the volume weighted average price of Class A ordinary shares during the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. In no event will the warrants be exercisable on a cashless basis in connection with this redemption feature for more than 0.361 Class A ordinary shares per warrant (subject to adjustment). In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant.

The estimated fair value of Public Warrants was transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 1 measurement, when the Public Warrants were separately listed and traded in an active market in December 2021. The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 2 fair value measurement in January 2022, as the transfer of Private Placement Warrants to anyone who is not a permitted transferee would result in the Private Placement Warrants having substantially the same terms as the Public Warrants, the Company determined that the fair value of each Private Placement Warrant is equivalent to that of each Public Warrant. There were no other transfers between levels of the hierarchy for the year ended December 31, 2023. Level 1 assets include investments in U.S. treasury securities. The Company uses inputs such as actual trade data, quoted market prices from dealers or brokers, and other similar sources to determine the fair value of its investments. The initial estimated fair value as of November 15, 2021, of the Public Warrants, the Private Placement Warrants, and the Forward Purchase Agreement is measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation, determined using Level 3 inputs. The fair value of Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering have subsequently been measured based on the listed market price of such warrants. As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Forward Purchase Securities were measured using a Monte Carlo simulation, and the fair value of the Convertible Note was measured using a Black-Scholes model. Inherent in a Monte Carlo simulation and Black-Scholes model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the fair value of Private Placement Warrants and the contingently issuable Private Placement Warrants were determined based on the quoted price of the Public Warrants. As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of Private Placement Warrants was determined based on the quoted price of the Public Warrants. The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 2 fair value measurements inputs at December 31, 2023 measurement date: Contingently issuable Private Placement Warrants Exercise price $ 11.50 Stock price $ 10.85 Term (years) 5.67 Volatility 6.0 % Risk-free rate 3.78 % Dividend yield 0.0 % The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 2 and 3 fair value measurements inputs at December 31, 2022 measurement date: Private Placement Forward Purchase Warrants Agreements Convertible Note Exercise price $ 11.50 $ 10.00 $ 1.00 Stock price $ 10.28 $ 10.85 $ 0.10 Term (years) 5.29 0.29 0.29 Volatility 6.0 % — 42.3 % Risk-free rate 3.91 % 4.37 % 4.37 % Dividend yield 0.0 % 0.0 % 0.0 % The change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, is summarized as follows: Derivative liabilities at January 1, 2022 $ 5,694,560 Transfer of Private Placement Warrants to Level 2 (5,301,100) Change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities - forward purchase agreement (51,225) Derivative liabilities at December 31, 2022 $ 342,235 Change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities - forward purchase agreement (10,707) Gain on extinguishment of forward purchase agreement (331,528) Derivative liabilities at December 31, 2023 — The change in the fair value of the convertible note – related party measured using Level 3 inputs for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, is summarized as follows: Convertible note - related party at January 1, 2022 $ 1,053,556 Additional issuance of convertible note - related party 350,000 Change in fair value of convertible note - related party 27,990 Convertible note - related party at December 31, 2022 $ 1,431,546 Additional issuance of convertible note - related party 851,899 Capital contribution from CBG - forgiveness of additional convertible note (1,135,944) Conversion to contingently issuable derivative liabilities (1,080,707) Change in fair value of convertible note - related party (66,794) Convertible note - related party at December 31, 2023 $ — |

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying 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. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates require 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 . |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term investments original maturity three months less when purchased equivalents. the Company no cash equivalents. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) coverage limit of $250,000 per institution. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts. |
Financial Instruments | Financial Instruments The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under the ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” equal or approximate the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheets primarily due to their short-term nature . |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers consist of: ● Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets; ● Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and ● Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy |
Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering | Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1. Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Upon completion of the Initial Public Offering, offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to the derivative warrant liabilities were charged to operations. Offering costs associated with the Class A ordinary shares were charged against the carrying value of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. |
Derivative Financial Instruments | Derivative Financial Instruments The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of the financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, and forward purchase agreements, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC Topic 480 and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC Topic 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, will be re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative warrant liabilities will be classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities. The 22,050,000 warrants that were issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (including the 11,500,000 warrants included in the Units and the 10,550,000 Private Placement Warrants) and the 4,000,000 forward purchase securities (“Forward Purchase Securities”), were recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 815. Accordingly, the Company recognized the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjust the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities will be subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised. The fair value of the Forward Purchase Securities, Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants were initially measured using a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair value of Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering have subsequently been measured based on the listed market price of such Public Warrants. As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Forward Purchase Securities are measured using a Monte Carlo simulation, and the fair value of the convertible note is measured using Black-Scholes model. On December 26, 2023, in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Forward Purchase Agreement, dated November 1, 2021, was terminated. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the fair value of Private Placement Warrants was determined based on the quoted price of the Public Warrants. |
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption | Class A ordinary shares Subject to Possible Redemption The Company accounts for the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480. Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A 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 our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, 4,151,134 and 23,000,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheets, respectively. On May 12, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) at which the Company’s shareholders approved a proposal to amend the Company’s existing Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend from May 15, 2023 to November 15, 2023 (the “Extended Date”) and to allow the board of directors of the Company, without another shareholder vote, to elect to further extend the date to consummate an initial Business Combination after the Extended Date up to three times, by an additional month each time, up to February 15, 2024, the date by which, if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination, the Company must: (a) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (b) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the amounts of Class A ordinary shares reflected on the balance sheets are reconciled in the following table: Gross proceeds from Initial Public Offering $ 230,000,000 Less: Fair value of Public Warrants at issuance (8,740,000) Offering costs allocated to Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption (5,469,344) Plus: Deemed dividend - increase in redemption value of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption 18,809,344 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, December 31, 2021 234,600,000 Plus: Deemed dividend - increase in redemption value of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption 3,096,114 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, December 31, 2022 237,696,114 Plus: Deemed dividend - increase in redemption value of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption 5,165,552 Waiver of offering costs allocated to Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption 248,593 Less: Redemptions of Class A ordinary shares (197,854,025) Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, December 31, 2023 $ 45,256,234 |
Net Income Per Share | Net Income Per Share The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Income are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net income by the weighted average shares of ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period. The calculation of diluted net income does not consider the effect of the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering (including the consummation of the over-allotment) and the Private Placement Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 22,050,000 The Company has considered the effect of Class B ordinary shares that were excluded from weighted average number as they were contingent on the exercise of over-allotment option by the underwriters. Since the contingency was satisfied, the Company has included these shares in the weighted average number as of the beginning of the period to determine the dilutive impact of these shares. The table below presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net income per share for each class of ordinary shares: For the Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 Class A Class B Class A Class B Basic and diluted net income per ordinary share Numerator: Allocation of net income $ 5,041,607 $ 2,582,350 $ 8,566,792 $ 2,141,698 Denominator: Basic and diluted weighted average ordinary shares outstanding 11,225,914 5,750,000 23,000,000 5,750,000 Basic and diluted net income per ordinary share $ 0.45 $ 0.45 $ 0.37 $ 0.37 |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions”. The ASU amends ASC Topic 820 to clarify that a contractual sales restriction is not considered in measuring an equity security at fair value and to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value. The ASU applies to both holders and issuers of equity and equity-linked securities measured at fair value. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is still evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on the financial statements. Management believe other recently issued, but effective, accounting standards would have material accompanying financial statements. |
Emerging Growth Company | 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 auditor 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 an emerging growth 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 statement 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. |
Risks and Uncertainties | Risks and Uncertainties Management continues to evaluate the current or anticipated military conflicts, including between Russia and Ukraine, and Israel and Hamas, terrorism, sanctions or other geopolitical events as well as adverse developments in the economy and capital markets, including rising energy costs, inflation and interest rates, in the United States and globally, on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that these events could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. On March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) as receiver. On March 12, 2023, the FDIC, the Department of Treasury and the Federal Reserve issued a joint statement indicating that actions would be taken to complete the FDIC’s resolution of SVB in a manner that protects depositors. The financial institution was reopened by the FDIC on March 13, 2023, with customers having full access to their deposits and debt facilities as at the time of the closure. On March 26, 2023, the FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption agreement for all deposits and loans of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, National Association with First Citizens Bank & Trust Company. Management has evaluated the situation and since the Company is not a borrower or party to any such instruments with SVB or any other financial institution currently in receivership, there is no material impact on the financial statements of the Company. On May 1, 2023, First Republic Bank was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which appointed the FDIC as receiver. To protect depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, Columbus, Ohio, to assume all of the deposits and substantially all of the assets of First Republic Bank. Management evaluated the situation and determined there is no material impact on the financial statements of the Company. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources | Liquidity and Capital Resources As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $3,898 in its operating bank account and working capital deficit of $61,449. The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from CBG and CB Co-Investment to cover for certain expenses on behalf of the Company in exchange for issuance of Class B ordinary shares (as defined in Note 5) and a loan from related party of approximately $244,000. The Company fully repaid the Note on November 17, 2021. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account and the issuance of the Convertible Notes. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there was $0 and $1,500,000, respectively, outstanding under the working capital loans (convertible notes). The Company has until November 15, 2024 to consummate an initial Business Combination. If the Company has not consummated a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company, with one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”), the Company must (a) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (b) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Class A ordinary shares sold in the Company’s Initial Public Offering (the “Public Shares”); and (c) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law. In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has determined that the liquidity condition and the date for mandatory liquidation and 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 November 15, 2024. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. |
