Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously reported, on September 14, 2023, Mountain & Co. I Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”) held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders. At the meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved a special resolution to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend from November 9, 2023 to March 9, 2024 the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination.
Subsequent to the meeting and in connection with such extension, payments of $300,000 for each calendar month commencing September 2023 and ending February 2024, or $1.8 million in the aggregate, were deposited into the Company’s trust account (the “Trust Account”). The aggregate deposit includes $1.2 million for the four calendar months ended February 2024, loaned to the Company by several accredited investors in a private financing transaction that closed during the period from February 20, 2024 to February 23, 2024 (the “Financing”). In connection with the Financing, the Company issued to each investor a convertible promissory note (each such note, a “Convertible Note”) evidencing the outstanding balance under such investor’s loan. The investors waived any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account with respect to their loans.
The principal balance of each Convertible Note will be repayable by the Company on the earlier of (such date, the “Maturity Date”), (i) the date on which the Company consummates its initial business combination, and (ii) the date of the liquidation of the Company; provided, however, that if an initial business combination is not consummated, the Convertible Note will not be repaid and all amounts owed thereunder will be forgiven except to the extent that the Company has funds available to it outside of its Trust Account.
Each Convertible Note bears non-compounding interest at a rate per annum of 8% of the unpaid principal balance under such Convertible Note, which is payable upon the Maturity Date.
Each investor may, at its option, convert any unpaid principal balance and accrued interest under its Convertible Note, subject to and following the Maturity Date, into that number of ordinary shares of the post-business combination combined company equal to the principal amount of and accrued interest on the Convertible Note so converted multiplied by 0.3 (rounded down to the nearest whole share). The conversion shares will be entitled to the registration rights set forth in that certain Registration Rights Agreement, entered into by the Company and the parties thereto, in connection with the Company’s initial public offering and attached as Exhibit 10.3 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 16, 2021.
The foregoing description of the Convertible Notes is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Convertible Note, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information contained above in Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.
The Convertible Note and the ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Note were sold solely to persons reasonably believed to be “accredited investors” without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation S under the Securities Act.
