DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN | NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN Chenghe Acquisition Co. (the “Company”) is a newly incorporated blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on April 7, 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 (the “business combination”). The Company has not selected any potential business combination target and the Company has not, nor has anyone on its behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any potential business combination target. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from April 7, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation, its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and searching for a business combination target. 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 IPO. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on April 27, 2022 (the “Effective Date”). On May 2, 2022, the Company consummated the IPO of 11,500,000 units, including the issuance of 1,500,000 units as a result of the underwriters’ full exercise of the over-allotment option (the “Units”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share (the “public share”) and one-half of one Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 7,750,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), including 750,000 Private Placement Warrants in connection with the full exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) to Chenghe Investment Co. (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $7,750,000, which is discussed in Note 4. Transaction costs amounted to $7,208,947 consisting of $2,300,000 of underwriting discount, $4,025,000 of deferred underwriting discount, and $883,947 of other offering costs. The Company must complete one or more business combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting commissions held in trust) at the time of signing 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 target or otherwise acquires an interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a business combination. Following the closing of the IPO on May 2, 2022, an amount of $118,450,000 ($10.30 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the public units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and may only be invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of 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. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of the initial business combination, (ii) the redemption of the public shares if the Company is unable to complete its initial business combination within the Combination Period (as define below), subject to applicable law, or (iii) the redemption of the public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to (A) modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company has not consummated an initial business combination within the Combination Period, or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity. 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 public shareholders. The Company will provide the public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial business combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial business combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations and on the conditions described herein. The amount in the Trust Account is initially anticipated to be $10.30 per public share. The per share amount the Company will distribute to investors who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters. The ordinary shares subject to redemption will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” 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, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the business combination. The Company has only 15 months or during one of the three three-month extensions approved by the board of directors pursuant to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Original Extension Right”), for a total up to 24 months, from the closing of the IPO (collectively, the “Combination Period”) to complete the initial business combination. If the Company has not completed the initial business combination within the Combination Period, the Company will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 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 (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any) and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law. On July 5, 2023, the Company filed a definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ( “SEC”) for an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Extraordinary Meeting”) to be held on July 26, 2023 to seek approval from its shareholders to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to (i) extend the date (the “Termination Date”) by which the Company must (A) consummate a business combination or (B) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such business combination and redeem or repurchase 100% of the Company’s public shares, for three months, from August 2, 2023 (the date which is 15 months from the closing date of the IPO, the “Original Termination Date”) to November 2, 2023 (the “First-Phase Extended Date”) for a deposit, for the period from the Original Termination Date to the First-Phase Extended Date, of the lesser of (a) $300,000 and (b) $0.075 for each public share not redeemed as of the Original Termination Date and to allow the Company, without the need for any further approval of the Company’s shareholders, by resolutions of the board of directors of the Company, to elect to further extend the Termination Date, up to six times, each by an additional month, for an aggregate of six additional months beyond the First-Phase Extended Date, until up to May 2, 2024, for a deposit, for each monthly extension after the First-Phase Extended Date, of the lesser of (a) $100,000 and (b) $0.025 for each public share not redeemed as of the Original Termination Date (such proposal, the “Extension Amendment Proposal”); and (ii) provide for the right of a holder of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares to convert into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis at any time before or concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the business combination at the election of the holder (such proposal, the “Founder Share Amendment Proposal”). The Sponsor, officers, directors and advisory board members (the “initial shareholders”) have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares”) and public shares in connection with the completion of the initial business combination; waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and public shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company has not consummated an initial business combination within the Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity; waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete its initial business combination within the Combination Period, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete its initial business combination within the prescribed time frame; and (ii) vote any Founder Shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately- negotiated transactions) in favor of the initial business combination. The 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 other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.30 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 $10.30 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 the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and the Company believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure you that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. Business Combination Agreement On July 21, 2023, the Company entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Semilux International Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“CayCo”), SEMILUX LTD., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of CayCo (“Merger Sub”), and Taiwan Color Optics, Inc. (“TCO” and together with CayCo and Merger Sub, the “TCO Parties”), a company incorporated and in existence under the laws of Taiwan with uniform commercial number of 25052644, pursuant to which, among other transactions, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company with the Company being the surviving company and as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of CayCo (the “Merger”), and the Company will change its name to “SEMILUX LTD.” (the “Business Combination”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, at the time when the Merger becomes effective, (i) each outstanding Unit will be automatically separated (“Unit Separation”) and the holder thereof will be deemed to hold one Class A ordinary share and one-half Public Warrant of the Company; (ii) each then issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share of the Company will be automatically converted into one Class A ordinary share of the Company (the “SPAC Class B Conversion”) and each Class B ordinary share of the Company shall no longer be issued and outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist; (iii) each Class A ordinary share of the Company (which for the avoidance of doubt, includes the Class A ordinary shares (A) issued in connection with the SPAC Class B Conversion; and (B) held as a result of Unit Separation) shall be converted into the right to receive one ordinary share of CayCo; and (iv) each warrant of the Company that is outstanding and unexercised shall be automatically converted into the right to receive a warrant of CayCo, which shall be on the same terms and conditions as the applicable warrant of the Company. Under the Business Combination Agreement, the obligations of the parties (or, in some cases, some of the parties) to consummate the Business Combination are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions of the respective parties, including, among others, (i) the accuracy of representations and warranties to various standards, from no material qualifier to a material adverse effect qualifier, (ii) material compliance with pre-closing covenants, (iii) no material adverse effect for TCO, (iv) TCO’s Company Acquisition Percentage (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) reaching at least 90.1%; (v) the consummation of the TCO Restructuring (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement); (v) the delivery of customary closing certificates, (vi) the receipt of required governmental approval and such approval being effective, (vii) the receipt of all required third party consents, if any, (viii) the absence of a legal prohibition on consummating the transactions, (ix) approval by the Company’s and TCO’s shareholders, (x) approval of a listing application on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market for newly issued shares, and (xi) the Company having at least US$5,000,001 of net tangible assets remaining after redemption. The full Business Combination Agreement and other agreements entered into or contemplated to be executed prior to the closing of the Business Combination have been filed on a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC on July 21, 2023. Liquidity and Going Concern Prior to the completion of the IPO, the Company lacked the liquidity it needed to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. The Company has since completed its IPO at which time capital in excess of the funds deposited in the Trust Account and/or used to fund offering expenses was released to the Company for general working capital purposes. Accordingly, management has since reevaluated the Company’s liquidity and financial condition and determined that sufficient capital exists to sustain operations one year from the date these financial statements are issued and therefore substantial doubt has been alleviated. In addition, in connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until August 1, 2023 (which may be extended by the Company for up to nine months periods to May 2, 2024 if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved or if the Company exercises the Original Extension Right) to consummate the initial business combination. The Company intends to complete the initial 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 August 1, 2023 (which may be extended by the Company for up to nine months periods to May 2, 2024 if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved or if the Company exercises the Original Extension Right). Management has determined that the 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 August 1, 2023 (which may be extended by the Company for up to nine months periods to May 2, 2024 if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved or if the Company exercises the Original Extension Right). Risks and Uncertainties Management is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Additionally, as a result of the military action commenced in February 2022 by the Russian Federation and Belarus in the country of Ukraine and related economic sanctions, the Company’s ability to consummate a business combination, or the operations of a target business with which the Company ultimately consummates a business combination, may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, the Company’s ability to consummate a transaction may be dependent on the ability to raise equity and debt financing which may be impacted by these events, including as a result of increased market volatility, or decreased market liquidity in third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy and the specific impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and/or ability to consummate a business combination are not yet determinable. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. |
