Description of Organization and Business Operations and Liquidity | Description of Organization and Business Operations and Liquidity Sagaliam Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the state of Delaware on March 31, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”). The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. 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. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through December 31, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation, initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”) and search for a business combination target. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until its initial business combination. The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on December 20, 2021. On December 23, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 11,500,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), at $ 10.00 per Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $ 115,000,000 , which is described in Note 3. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 400,000 10.00 4,000,000 Transaction costs amounted to $ 7,525,729 3,025,000 1,150,000 1,634,620 566,109 As of December 22, 2022 the Underwriter agreement was amended whereby the Underwriter has agreed to reduce the amount of the Deferred Underwriting Commission payable to the Underwriter from $ 4,025,000 3,025,000 Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on December 23, 2021, an amount of $ 10.10 per unit or an aggregate of $ 116,150,000 has been placed in a trust account , (the “Trust Account”) and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the trust account that may be released to the Company to pay its franchise and income tax obligations (less up to $ 150,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), the proceeds from this offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units will not be released from the trust account until the earliest of (a) the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and (c) the redemption of the Company’s public shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial business combination within 12 months (or up to 18 months, as applicable) from the closing of this offering, subject to applicable law. However, the Company had a charter Amendment to extend this date. The proceeds deposited in the trust account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public stockholders. 10.10 SAGALIAM ACQUISITION CORP.

If the Company has executed a definitive agreement and filed a proxy statement for an initial business combination within 12 months from the closing of the Public Offering, the period of time the Company will have to consummate an initial business combination will be automatically extended by an additional four months to an aggregate of 19 months without additional cost. However, if the Company is not able to consummate an initial business combination within 12 months and the Company has not entered into a definitive agreement or filed a proxy statement for an initial business combination by such date, the Company may, by resolution of the board if requested by the sponsor, extend the time available to consummate an initial business combination for an additional three months up to two times (for a total of 18 months to complete a business combination) by paying into the trust account $ 1,150,000 0.10 150,000 Business Combination Agreement On November 16, 2022 the Board of Directors entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA”) with Allenby Montefiore Limited, a private company limited by shares organized and existing under the Laws of the Republic of Cyprus, AEC Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation, Supraeon Investments Limited, a private company limited by shares organized and existing under the Laws of the Republic of Cyprus, and GLD Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership. The Board had determined that it was in the best interests of the stockholders to extend the date to October 23, 2023 to consummate an initial business combination to an extended date in order to allow our stockholders to evaluate an initial business combination and for us to be able to potentially consummate an initial business combination, and is submitting these proposals to our stockholders to vote upon. This deal was not consummated and on February 23, 2023 the Business Combination Agreement was terminated as detailed in the subsequent events note herein. SAGALIAM ACQUISITION CORP. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS dECEMBER 31, 2022 Note 1 – Description of Organization and Business Operations and Liquidity Stockholder Redemption The Company has provided its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial business combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the initial business combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. On December 14, 2022 10,543,663 106,490,996 The Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private placement shares and public shares in connection with the completion of the initial business combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private placement shares and public shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their founder shares and private placement shares if the Company fails to complete the initial business combination within the Combination Period. The Company’s Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below the lesser of (i) $10.10 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, if less than $10.10 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the trust account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of this offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, the Company has not asked its Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether its Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Company’s Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure that its Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $ 3,116 and $ 762,040 3,854,273 Until the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds in operating accounts 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. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until October 23, 2023 (12 months from Public Offering plus extension periods as discussed above) to consummate the proposed Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate the proposed Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Additionally, the Company may not have sufficient liquidity to fund the working capital needs of the Company through one year from the issuance of these financial statements. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after October 23, 2023. The Company intends to complete the proposed Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any Business Combination by October 23, 2023. In addition, the Company may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and 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, the Company 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 through the liquidation date of October 23, 2023. SAGALIAM ACQUISITION CORP. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS dECEMBER 31, 2022 Note 1 – Description of Organization and Business Operations and Liquidity Risks and Uncertainties Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations, and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the financial statement. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy are not determinable as of the date of these financial statements and the specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these financial statements. On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which, among other things, imposes a 1% excise tax on the fair market value of stock repurchased by publicly traded U.S. corporations and certain U.S. subsidiaries of publicly traded non-U.S. corporations beginning in 2023, with certain exceptions and adjustments (the “Excise Tax”). For purposes of calculating the Excise Tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. Because we are a Delaware corporation and our securities trade on the New York Stock Exchange, we will likely be considered a “covered corporation” within the meaning of the Inflation Reduction Act. While not free from doubt, absent any further guidance from Congress or the U.S. Department of the Treasury, there is significant risk that the Excise Tax will apply to any redemptions of our common stock after December 31, 2022, including redemptions in connection with an initial Business Combination and any amendment to our certificate of incorporation to extend the time to consummate an initial Business Combination, unless an exemption is available. In addition, the Excise Tax may make a transaction with us less appealing to potential business combination targets, and thus, potentially hinder our ability to enter into and consummate an initial Business Combination. Further, the application of the Excise Tax in the event of a liquidation after December 31, 2022 is uncertain, and could impact the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by our stockholders in connection with our liquidation.
