DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY | NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY PowerUp Acquisition Corp. (the “Company” or “PowerUp”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on February 9, 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 The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. On December 26, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with PowerUp Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Visiox Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Visiox”). The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are intended to serve as the Company’s initial Business Combination. See Note 6 for further information. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. Substantially all activity from February 9, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation and initial public offering (“IPO”), which is described below and, since the IPO, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination, the negotiation of the Merger Agreement and actions taken to advance the business combination with Visiox. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income earned on investments from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on February 17, 2022. On February 23, 2022, the Company consummated the IPO of 25,000,000 10.00 250,000,000 Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 9,138,333 1.50 13,707,500 Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the closing of the sale of 3,750,000 37,500,000 625,000 937,500 Offering costs for the IPO amounted to $ 16,418,580 5,000,000 10,812,500 606,080 10,812,500 10,812,500 10,812,500 Following the closing of the IPO, $ 294,687,500 10.25 The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time it enters into a definitive agreement for 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 target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. The Company will provide the holders of the outstanding 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 shareholder 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 (initially anticipated to be $ 11.03 All of the Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Memorandum and Articles of Association”). In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) Subtopic 10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Given that the Public Shares will be issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., Public Warrants), the initial carrying value of the Public Shares classified as temporary equity will be the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and other Options”. The Public Shares are subject to ASC 480-10-S99. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either (i) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or (ii) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to recognize the changes immediately. The Public Shares are redeemable and are classified as such on the consolidated balance sheet until such date that a redemption event takes place. Redemptions of the Company’s Public Shares may be subject to the satisfaction of conditions, including minimum cash conditions, pursuant to an agreement relating to an initial Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination, the Company will proceed with the Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination, or such other vote as required by law or stock exchange rule. 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 its Memorandum and Articles of Association, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transaction 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. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Original Sponsor agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of the Business Combination. The New Sponsor (as defined below) is subject to this same obligation. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 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 The Company’s Original Sponsor, and its initial officers and directors (the “Initial Shareholders”) agreed not to propose an amendment to the Memorandum and Articles of Association that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100 On May 18, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “2023 Extension Meeting”). At the 2023 Extension Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial Business Combination from May 23, 2023 to May 23, 2024 (the “2023 Extension Amendment”). In connection with the approval of the 2023 Extension Amendment, holders of 26,946,271 10.55 284 Following the 2023 Extension Meeting, on May 18, 2023, those Initial Shareholders holding all of the issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares of the Company elected to convert their Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares of the Company on a one-for-one basis (the “Conversion”). As a result, 7,187,500 7,187,500 On August 14, 2023, the Company was notified by Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (f/k/a American Stock Transfer & Trust Company) that the per share redemption price for the redemption of public shares effected on May 18, 2023 should have been approximately $ 10.57 0.02 10.55 0.02 632,968 On April 13, 2023, the Company engaged J.V.B. Financial Group, LLC, acting through its Cohen & Company Markets division (“CCM”) to act as its capital markets advisor in connection with seeking an extension for completing a Business Combination. The Company will pay CCM the sum of (i) $ 300,000 50,000 80,000 On August 18, 2023, in connection with the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (defined below), (i) Bruce Hack, Jack Tretton, Peter Blacklow, Julie Uhrman, and Kyle Campbell tendered their resignations as members of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), (ii) Jack Tretton, Michael Olson, and Gabriel Schillinger resigned as officers of the Company, (iii) Surendra Ajjarapu, Michael L. Peterson, Donald G. Fell, Mayur Doshi, and Avinash Wadhwani were appointed as members of the Board, (iv) Surendra Ajjarapu was appointed Chairman of the Board, and (v) Surendra Ajjarapu and Howard Doss were appointed as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively. On May 22, 2024, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “2024 Extension Meeting”). At the 2024 Extension Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial Business Combination from May 23, 2024 to February 17, 2025 (the “2024 Extension Amendment”). In connection with the approval of the 2024 Extension Amendment, holders of 1,226,085 11.24 13.8 If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by February 17, 2025, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay the Company’s franchise and income taxes (less up to $ 100,000 The Initial Shareholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination by February 17, 2025, or during any additional extension period (the “Combination Period”). However, if the Initial Shareholders acquired Public Shares in or after the IPO, they are entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account. In the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $ 11.24 Going Concern As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $ 0 2,567,806 20,136,022 234,853 The Company had 15 months from the closing of the IPO to consummate an initial Business Combination. At the 2024 Extension Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2024 Extension Amendment that served to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial Business Combination to February 17, 2025 (See Note 10 for subsequent extraordinary general meeting on May 22, 2024). The remaining life of the Company as of March 31, 2024 is under 12 months. Until the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. The Company may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its New Sponsor, shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and New Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. |
