NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Organization and Business Operations

Organization and General

Pegasus Digital Mobility Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on March 30, 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 or assets (the “Business Combination”).

As described further below under “ – Initial Business Combination - Business Combination Agreement”, on May 31, 2023, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among the Company, Gebr. SCHMID GmbH, a German limited liability company (“Schmid”), Pegasus Topco B.V., a Dutch private limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“TopCo”) and Pegasus MergerSub Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of TopCo (“MergerSub”).

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through September 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “IPO”), and, since the completion of the IPO, a search for a 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 and dividends on cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities from the proceeds derived from the IPO.

The Company’s sponsor is Pegasus Digital Mobility Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The Company, TopCo, and MergerSub’s financial statements are presented on a condensed consolidated basis.

Financing

The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on October 21, 2021. On October 26, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 20,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit (the “Units”), generating gross proceeds to the Company of $200,000,000. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A ordinary shares”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each whole warrant, a “Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share, subject to adjustment. The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the underwriting agreement to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any.

Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 9,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), each exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $9,000,000. Depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised, the Sponsor agreed to purchase an additional 900,000 Private Placement Warrants.

On November 4, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option and, on November 8, 2021, purchased 2,500,000 Units, generating aggregate gross proceeds of $25,000,000. On November 8, 2021, simultaneously with the sale of the over-allotment Units, the Company consummated the private sale of an additional 750,000 Private Placement Warrants, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $750,000.

Transaction costs related to the consummation of the IPO on October 26, 2021, amounted to $13,124,654 consisting of $4,500,000 of underwriting discounts, $7,875,000 of deferred underwriting commissions, and $749,654 of other offering costs. On August 15, 2023, the Company received a waiver from one of the underwriters of the IPO pursuant to which such underwriter waived all rights to its $5,433,750 of deferred underwriting commissions payable upon completion of an initial Business Combination. As a result, as of September 30, 2023, the deferred underwriting commissions payable were $2,441,250 (See Note 5).

Prior to the IPO, qualified institutional buyers or institutional accredited investors (the “Anchor Investors”) expressed to the Company an interest in purchasing Units in the IPO in exchange for the Sponsor agreeing to sell the Anchor Investors Class B ordinary shares, par

Table of Contents

value $0.0001 (“Founder Shares”). Upon the closing of the IPO, the Anchor Investors received 1,375,000 Founder Shares (“Anchor Shares”) from the Sponsor. The fair value of the Anchor Shares was treated as an issuance cost of the offering which was allocated to the Class A ordinary shares and Public Warrants.

On November 4, 2021, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 843,750 Founder Shares to the Company’s officers and independent directors. On December 6, 2021, 125,000 of the Founder Shares were forfeited by the Sponsor as a result of the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option and the expiration of the over-allotment option. All shares and per-share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the forfeiture of the 125,000 Founder Shares.

In April 2023, shareholders holding 15,300,927 shares of Class A ordinary shares exercised their right to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account (as defined below). As a result, $160,337,374 was withdrawn from the Trust and distributed to such shareholders.

In July 2023, shareholders holding 2,195,855 shares of Class A ordinary shares exercised their right to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, $23,555,234 was withdrawn from the Trust and distributed to such shareholders. As of September 30, 2023, $54,654,543 remains in the Company’s Trust Account. Following the redemption, 5,003,218 of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares remained outstanding.

Trust Account

Following the closing of the IPO on October 26, 2021, and the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option on November 8, 2021, $227,250,000 ($10.10 per Unit) of the net proceeds from the sale of the Units in the IPO and a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were deposited into a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and were invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), that 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 funds held in the Trust Account will not be released to the Company from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of: (a) the completion of its initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any Class A ordinary shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (i) to modify the substance or timing of its obligation to redeem 100% of its Class A ordinary shares if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of the IPO, which is extendable at the Sponsor’s option up to 21 months as described below (the “Combination Period”) or (ii) with respect to any other provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; and (c) the redemption of its Class A ordinary shares if the Company is unable to complete its Business Combination within the Combination Period, subject to applicable law.

Initial Business Combination

The initial Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes, if permitted, and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account). However, the Company will only complete such Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.

Extensions of Initial Business Combination Deadline

On January 23, 2023, the Company issued a non-convertible unsecured promissory note (the “Extension Note”) in the principal amount of $2,250,000 to the Sponsor (see Note 4). The Sponsor deposited the funds into the Trust Account. The Extension Note was issued in connection with the decision by the Company’s board of directors to exercise the first extension option in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination transaction from January 26, 2023 to April 26, 2023 (i.e., for a period of time ending 18 months after the consummation of the IPO) (the “First Extension Option”). The Extension Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the consummation of a Business Combination by the Company. If the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, the Extension Note will not be repaid and all amounts owed under the Extension Note will be forgiven except to the extent that the Company

has funds available to it outside of its Trust Account. On March 15, 2023, the Company amended and restated certain provisions of the Extension Note to align the terms of the Extension Note with the March 2023 Promissory Note (as defined below).

On April 19, 2023, the Company’s shareholders approved of the adoption of the second amended and restated articles of association in the form proposed, to among other things (i) make certain updates to reflect the decision by the board of directors to exercise the First Extension Option pursuant to which the date by which the Company had to consummate an initial Business Combination was extended from January 26, 2023 to April 26, 2023 (i.e., for a period of time ending 18 months after the consummation of the Company’s IPO), (ii) amend the amount which the Sponsor is required to deposit in the Trust Account in order to exercise the second extension option to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination from April 26, 2023 to July 26, 2023 (the “Second Extension Option”) to $0.10 per Class A ordinary share then in issue (after giving effect to any redemptions of such shares which are tendered for redemption in connection with the results of the Company’s extraordinary general meeting held on April 19, 2023), (iii) insert a third extension option to enable the board of directors to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination from July 26, 2023 to December 31, 2023 (the “Third Extension Option”), and (iv) insert a voluntary redemption right in favor of the holders of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares then in issue enabling public shareholders to redeem such shares on July 26, 2023 for 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 not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of Class A ordinary shares then in issue, if the board of directors elects to exercise the Third Extension Option.

On April 24, 2023, the Company issued a non-convertible unsecured promissory note (the “April 2023 Extension Note”) in the principal amount of $719,907 to the Sponsor (see Note 4). The Sponsor deposited the funds into the Trust Account on April 28, 2023. The April 2023 Extension Note was issued in connection with the board of director’s exercise of the Second Extension Option under the second amended and restated articles of association to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination transaction from April 26, 2023 to July 26, 2023 (i.e., for a period of time ending 21 months after the consummation of the IPO). The April 2023 Extension Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the consummation of a Business Combination by the Company. If the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, the April 2023 Extension Note will not be repaid and all amounts owed under the April 2023 Extension Note will be forgiven except to the extent that the Company has funds available to it outside of the Trust Account.

On July 14, 2023, the Company’s board of directors elected to exercise the Third Extension Option, extending the initial Business Combination deadline from July 26, 2023 to December 31, 2023. The Company expects to utilize the further time available to it to consummate a Business Combination.

Also on July 14, 2023, the Sponsor voluntarily committed to make a monthly contribution to the Trust Account commencing on August 1, 2023, and paid on the first day of each month thereafter until the earliest of (i) the date on which the Company consummates a Business Combination or (ii) December 31, 2023. Each monthly contribution shall be $150,097, representing $0.03 per Class A ordinary share then outstanding. The contribution amount is to be paid on a monthly basis after the issuance of the July 2023 Promissory Note (as defined below) in connection therewith. Should the Company’s board of directors determine that the Company will not be able to consummate the initial Business Combination by December 31, 2023, and that the Company shall instead liquidate, the Sponsor’s obligation to continue to make such contributions shall immediately cease. If the Board determines that more time is needed to consummate the initial Business Combination, a shareholders’ vote in an extraordinary general meeting will be required to change the Articles of the Company. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Sponsor had made three monthly contributions.

On July 31, 2023, the Company issued a non-convertible unsecured promissory note (the “July 2023 Promissory Note”) in the principal amount of $750,843 to the Sponsor (see Note 4). The July 2023 Promissory Note was issued in connection with the expected monthly payments by the Sponsor into the Trust Account described above. The July 2023 Promissory Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earliest of December 31, 2023, the date on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination, or within three (3) business days of the receipt by the Company of a break-free, termination fee or similar arrangement in connection with a potential Business Combination. If the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, the July 2023 Promissory Note will not be repaid and all amounts owed under the July 2023 Promissory Note will be forgiven except to the extent that the Company has funds available to it outside of the Trust Account.

Business Combination Agreement

On May 31, 2023, the Company entered into the Business Combination Agreement by and among the Company, Schmid, TopCo and Merger Sub. The Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Transactions”) were approved by

Table of Contents

the boards of directors of each of the Company, TopCo and Merger Sub as well as by Anette Schmid and Christian Schmid, the shareholders of Schmid (each a “Schmid Shareholder” and, collectively, the “Schmid Shareholders”).

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Company would merge with and into Merger Sub pursuant to Part XVI of the Cayman Companies Act (the “Merger”), with Merger Sub as the surviving company in the Merger, and each issued and outstanding Eligible Pegasus Share (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) will be automatically cancelled and extinguished in exchange for the Merger Consideration as defined and detailed in the Business Combination Agreement (such issuance, together with the Merger, the “Schmid Business Combination”) and each warrant issued by the Company (the “Pegasus Warrant”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the time the Merger becomes effective (the “Effective Time”) will, immediately following the completion of the Schmid Business Combination, represent a warrant on the same contractual terms and conditions as were in effect with respect to such Pegasus Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, as applicable, that is exercisable for an equivalent number of ordinary shares in the share capital of TopCo (“TopCo Ordinary Shares”), in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. Immediately after giving effect to the Schmid Business Combination, the Schmid Shareholders shall contribute their shares of common stock of the Company to Topco in return for such number of TopCo Ordinary Shares equal to the number of shares defined in the Schmid Business Combination (the “Exchange”). Immediately after giving effect to the Exchange, a notarial deed will be executed by a Dutch notary in order to change the legal form of TopCo from a private limited liability company to a public limited liability company and TopCo is currently intended to be renamed to “Schmid Group N.V.”.

The obligations of the Company, TopCo, Schmid, and Merger Sub (each a “Party” and, collectively, the “Parties”) to consummate the Transactions are subject to the satisfaction or, if permitted by applicable law, waiver by the Party for whose benefit such condition exists of various conditions, including: (a) no legal restraint or prohibition preventing the consummation of the Transactions shall be in effect; (b) the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement shall have become effective; (c) the Transaction Proposals (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) shall have been approved by the Company’s shareholders; (d) the Company’s shareholders shall have approved the execution of the Business Combination Agreement and execution of the transactions contemplated hereby and certain other matters related to the implementation of the Transactions and such approval shall continue to be in full force and effect; (e) after giving effect to the Transactions, TopCo shall have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) immediately after the closing of the Transactions (the “Closing”); and (f) TopCo shall receive a minimum of $35,000,000 in cash from the Transactions (from cash held in trust or private investments in public equity (PIPE)).

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement and the fulfilment of the conditions precedent set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, each of the Schmid Shareholders irrevocably and unconditionally undertook (the “Schmid Shareholders Undertakings”) and agreed in each case to the extent legally possible and permissible (a) to fully support and implement the Transactions in relation to which such Schmid Shareholders’ support or participation is required or appropriate, (b) to omit any actions that could be of detriment to the implementation of the Transactions, (c) to vote or cause to be voted all of such Schmid Shareholder’s Company Shares (as defined in the Schmid Shareholders’ Undertakings) against any resolution that would reasonably be expected to impede or adversely affect the Transactions in any way, or result in a breach of any undertaking, representation or warranty of such Shareholder contained in the Schmid Shareholders’ Undertakings, and (d) to contribute its respective shares of the Company to TopCo in exchange for shares of TopCo substantially in accordance with the exchange table and the exchange ratio as set forth therein, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Schmid Shareholders’ Undertakings.

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, each Schmid Shareholder entered into a Lock-Up Agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”), pursuant to which they agreed not to, without the prior written consent of the board of directors of TopCo, effect any transaction or enter into any arrangement that is designed to or that reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of any ordinary shares in the share capital of TopCo held by them immediately after the Closing, nor to publicly announce any intention to effect or enter the same, during the period beginning on the Closing and ending on the date that is one year after the Closing (the “Lock-Up Period”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Lock-Up Agreement.

Table of Contents

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company, the Sponsor, Schmid and certain individuals party thereto (comprising the officers and directors of the Company) (each, an “Insider”) entered into a Sponsor Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor and the Insiders agreed to (i) vote in favor of all of the transaction proposals to be voted upon at the meeting of the Company’s shareholders, including approval of the Agreement and the Transactions, (ii) waive certain adjustments to the conversion ratio and other anti-dilution protections set forth in the governing documents of the Company with respect to the Founders Shares owned by such Sponsor and Insider, (iii) be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to their Company shares prior to the Closing, (iv) to use 2,812,500 of the existing Founders Shares (half of the existing Founders Shares) to negotiate non-redemption agreements with certain holders of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares or to enter into PIPE subscription agreements with investors, and (v) be bound by certain lock-up provisions during the Lock-Up Period with respect to any shares or warrants of TopCo received in exchange for holdings in the Company in connection with the Transactions, in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein.

The Company and TopCo are in ongoing discussions with investors as part of potential PIPE transactions. In case PIPE investors are committing to subscribe shares or instruments convertible into shares, the issuance of subscribed shares or such other instruments by such PIPE investors are intended to be completed substantially concurrent to the Transactions.

At the Closing, the Company, the Sponsor, TopCo, and the Schmid Shareholders would enter into an amended restated registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor and the Schmid Shareholders would be granted certain customary registration rights with respect to their TopCo Ordinary Shares, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

TopCo, the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s warrant agent, would enter into a warrant assumption agreement (the “Warrant Assumption Agreement”) immediately following the completion of the Transactions, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company would assign all of its right, title and interest in and to, and TopCo would assume all of the Company’s liabilities and obligations under, the Warrant Agreement. As a result of such assumption, following the execution of the Warrant Assumption Agreement, each Pegasus Warrant would be exchanged for a warrant to purchase TopCo Ordinary Shares on the terms and conditions of the Warrant Assumption Agreement.

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor and certain directors and officers of the Company entered into a warrant grant agreement transferring 1,775,000 private warrants held by the Sponsor to such directors and officers, subject to certain conditions.

On May 31, 2023, the Company issued a non-convertible unsecured promissory note (the “May 2023 Promissory Note”) in the principal amount of $1,400,000 to the Sponsor. The May 2023 Promissory Note was issued in connection with the decision by the Company’s board of directors to approve the Business Combination Agreement and to provide additional working capital to the Company.

The Company would provide its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Class A ordinary shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (1) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (2) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company would seek shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the board of directors of the Company, in its sole discretion. The Company will proceed with the Business Combination if the Company would have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of the 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 would also provide its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Class A ordinary shares upon the completion of its initial Business Combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then deposited in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the completion of its initial Business Combination, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then-issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares that were sold as part of the Units in the IPO, which the Company refers to collectively as its Class A ordinary shares, subject to the limitations described herein. If the Company has not completed its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company would redeem 100% of the Class A ordinary shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then-issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, subject to applicable law and as further described herein.

The Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption were 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

Table of Contents

(“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, and subsequently accreted to redemption value. In such case, the Company is expected to proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of the 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 initial shareholders, directors, officers and advisors agreed to waive: (i) their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Class A ordinary shares held by them, as applicable, in connection with the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination; (ii) their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Class A ordinary shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to amend 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 Class A ordinary shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other provision relating the rights of holders of the Class A ordinary shares; (iii) their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or during any extended time that the Company has to consummate a Business Combination beyond the Combination Period as a result of a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (an “Extension Period”) (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Class A ordinary shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame); and (iv) vote their Founder Shares and any Class A ordinary shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of the Company’s initial Business Combination. Each of the Anchor Investor entered into an investment agreement with the Company pursuant to which they agreed that any Founder Shares held by them are (i) not entitled to redemption rights in connection with the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and (ii) not entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares the Anchor Investor holds in the event the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or during any Extension Period.

The Sponsor agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent auditors) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (1) $10.10 per Class A ordinary share or (2) such lesser amount per Class A ordinary share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company has not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company, and, therefore, the Sponsor may not be able to satisfy its obligations. The Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such obligations.

On September 26, 2023, the Company entered into that certain First Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement (the “First Amendment”), by and among the Company, Schmid, TopCo and Merger Sub, pursuant to which the parties amended certain contractual provisions, qualifications for U.S. federal tax purposes and references within the Business Combination Agreement, to, among other things, reflect that: (i) prior to the Effective Time, the Schmid Shareholders will purchase the sole share in the capital of TopCo, from the Company against payment of the nominal value of the sole share, being an amount of EUR 0.01 (the “Purchase”); (ii) the Exchange and the change in legal form of TopCo will be effective after the Purchase and prior to the Effective Time (rather than after the Effective Time); and (iii) the company will be designated Surviving Company (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) rather than Merger Sub.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $355,601 in cash and a working capital deficit of $8,952,710.

The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. The Company lacks the financial resources it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of these financial statements. Although no formal agreement exists, the Sponsor is committed to extend Working Capital Loans (as defined below) as needed. The Company cannot assure that its plans to consummate an initial Business Combination

Table of Contents

will be successful. In addition, management is currently evaluating the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war and other macroeconomic conditions and their effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or the completion of the Business Combination.

These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern one year from the date these financial statements are issued. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Risks and uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Hamas’ attack on Israel and the ensuing war, rising levels of inflation and interest rates, the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting market volatility 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 ability to consummate an initial Business Combination, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Although our financial results have not yet been adversely affected by the war in Ukraine or Hamas’ attack on Israel, and we do not conduct business in Russia, Ukraine, Palestine or Israel, our financial results, our ability to raise capital or raise capital on favorable terms, and a potential target business’s financial condition, results of operations, or prospects, may be adversely affected by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Hamas’ attack on Israel. In addition, the United States and other nations have raised the possibility of sanctions on China, Chinese banks, and companies with operations in China that do business with Russia or its allies, including Belarus. Although we do not conduct business in Russia or Belarus, or with Russian or Belarusian counterparties, we may be impacted by sanctions imposed on third parties. Our operations may also be adversely impacted by any actions taken by China in response to the war or any related sanctions or threatened sanctions. Such actual or threatened sanctions and other geopolitical factors arising in connection with the way, such as continued political or economic instability or increased economic or political tensions between the United States and China, could also adversely affect our business and financial results, including our ability to raise capital or raise capital on favorable terms and the market price of our ordinary shares and/or a potential target business’s financial condition, results of operations, or prospects.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto. The financial information as of December 31, 2022 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any future interim periods.

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”) which provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other

Table of Contents

words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company intends to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires 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 condensed consolidated 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 Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no cash equivalents.

Investments held in Trust Account

Trading securities in the Trust Account were invested in U.S. Treasury Securities and marketable securities, which are reported at fair value. The Company’s portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account is comprised of 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, investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities, cash, or a combination thereof. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are recorded to net income each period. The estimated fair values of the investments held in the Trust Account are determined using quoted market prices in active markets.

Share Based Compensation

The Company accounted for the transfer of Founder Shares to the Company’s officers and independent directors in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. The awards have a performance condition that requires the consummation of an initial Business Combination to fully vest. As the performance condition is not probable and will likely not become probable until the consummation of an initial Business Combination, the Company will defer recognition of the compensation costs until the consummation of an initial Business Combination.

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 Depository Insurance Coverage. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts as of the date of this Quarterly Report.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance enumerated in ASC Topic 480. Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity (deficit). The Company’s Class A ordinary shares contain certain redemption rights that are considered by the Company to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 5,003,218 and 22,500,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, at redemption value, respectively, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheets.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable Class A ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Such changes are reflected in additional paid-in capital, or in the absence of additional paid-in capital, in accumulated deficit. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded accretion of $1,249,950 and $7,951,860, respectively, which were recorded within accumulated deficit. During the

Table of Contents

three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded accretion of $947,639 and $1,227,475, respectively, which were recorded within accumulated deficit.

Offering Costs associated with the Initial Public Offering

Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees that are related to the IPO. Upon the completion of the IPO, the offering costs were allocated between the Company’s Class A ordinary shares and the public warrants. The costs allocated to the public warrants amounting to $520,432 were recognized in other expenses and those related to the Company’s Class A ordinary shares amounting to $12,604,222 were charged against the carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares.

Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value upon issuance and remeasured at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative financial instruments is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.

Warrants

The Company accounts for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants as liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrants’ specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC Topic 480 and ASC Topic 815. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC Topic 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC Topic 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC Topic 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent reporting period while the warrants are outstanding. Because the Company does not control the occurrence of events, such as a tender offer or exchange, that may trigger cash settlement of the warrants where not all of the shareholders also receive cash, the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, as such, the warrants must be recorded as a derivative liability.

For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Table of Contents

ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s balance sheets.

Net Income (Loss) per Ordinary Share

The statements of operations include a presentation of income (loss) per Class A redeemable ordinary share and income (loss) per Class B non-redeemable ordinary share following the two-class method of income (loss) per share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the Class A redeemable ordinary shares and founder non-redeemable ordinary shares, the Company first considered the total income (loss) allocable to both sets of shares. This is calculated using the total net income (loss) less any dividends paid. For purposes of calculating net income (loss) per share, any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the Class A redeemable ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public shareholders. Subsequent to calculating the total income (loss) allocable to both sets of shares, the Company split the amount to be allocated using a ratio of 51% and 70% for the Class A redeemable ordinary shares and 49% and 30% for the Class B non-redeemable ordinary shares for the three months and nine ended September 30, 2023, respectively, reflective of the weighted average shares outstanding for each period. The Company split the amount to be allocated using a ratio of 80% for the Class A redeemable ordinary shares and 20% for the Class B non-redeemable ordinary shares for the three months and nine ended September 30, 2022, reflective of the respective participation rights.

The earnings per share presented in the statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 is based on the following:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, “Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)” (“ASU 2020-06”), to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2024, for smaller reporting companies as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on inception date. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 3 - Derivative Financial Instruments

Warrants

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 21,000,000 warrants were outstanding (11,250,000 Public Warrants and 9,750,000 Private Placement Warrants). Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein. 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 Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (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 completion of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A ordinary shares during the 20 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, 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 (as described below) 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.

The warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination and 12 months from the closing of the IPO and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Table of Contents

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the issuance, under the Securities Act, of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. If any such registration statement has not been declared effective by the 60^th business day following the closing of the initial Business Combination, holders of the warrants will have the right, during the period beginning on the 61st business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination and ending upon such registration statement being declared effective by the SEC, and during any other period when the Company fails to have maintained an effective registration statement covering the issuance of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to exercise such warrants on a “cashless basis.” Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A ordinary shares are, at the time of any exercise of a warrant, not listed on a national securities exchange such that they do not satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but will use the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. In the case of a cashless exercise, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the lesser of (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) less the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value and (B) 0.361 Class A ordinary shares per warrant. The “fair market value” as used in the preceding sentence shall mean the volume weighted average price of the Class A ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent.

Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00. Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

●

in whole and not in part;

●

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

●

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and

●

if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares 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”) equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant).

Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00. Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:

●

in whole and not in part;

●

at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ 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 shares, based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of our Class A ordinary shares (as defined above);

●

if, and only if, the Reference Value (as defined above under “—Redemption of Public Warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00”) equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant); and

●

if the Reference Value is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants.

Table of Contents

If a tender offer, exchange or redemption offer shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of the Class A ordinary shares and upon completion of such offer, the offeror owns beneficially more than 50% of the outstanding Class A ordinary shares, the holder of the warrant shall be entitled to receive the highest amount of cash, securities or other property to which such holder would actually have been entitled as a shareholder if such warrant had been exercised, accepted such offer and all of the Class A ordinary shares held by such holder had been purchased pursuant to the offer. If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of the Class A ordinary shares in the applicable event is payable in the form of common equity in the successor entity that is listed on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, and if the holder of the warrant properly exercises the warrant within thirty days following the public disclosure of the consummation of the applicable event by the Company, the warrant price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference (but in no event less than zero) of (i) the warrant price in effect prior to such reduction minus (ii) (A) the Per Share Consideration (as defined in the warrant agreement) minus (B) the value of the warrant based on the Black-Scholes Warrant Value for a Capped American Call on Bloomberg Financial Markets.

The Company accounts for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants as liabilities in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC Topic 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity.” Because the Company does not control the occurrence of events, such as a tender offer or exchange, that may trigger cash settlement of the warrants where not all of the shareholders also receive cash, the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, as such, the warrants must be recorded as a derivative liability.

Additionally, certain adjustments to the settlement amount of the Private Placement Warrants are based on a variable that is not an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option as defined under ASC Topic 815-40, and thus the Private Placement Warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and not eligible for an exception from derivative accounting.

Note 4 - Related Party Transactions

Working Capital Loans

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s directors and officers may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes the initial Business Combination, the Company may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds from 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 the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from the Company’s Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of the Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor. The terms of the Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to the Working Capital Loans. The Company does not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s directors and officers as the Company does not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no Working Capital Loans.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company entered into an Administrative Services Agreement pursuant to which it will pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $14,000 per month for office space and administrative and support services. The agreement was effective upon the date that securities of the Company were first listed on the New York Stock Exchange, or October 22, 2021. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred and accrued $42,000 and $126,000, respectively, under the Administrative Services Agreement as due to related party on the balance sheets and as administrative expenses - related party in the statements of operations.

Payables to Related Parties

The due to related party balance consists of administrative fees incurred, but not yet paid, through September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and payable to the Sponsor for amounts paid on the Company’s behalf. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had a due to related party payable of $326,532 and $200,530, respectively.

Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued on conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed in connection with the IPO requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to the Class A ordinary shares). The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration 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 Company’s completion of the initial Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not be required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statement.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 Units to cover over-allotments.

On October 26, 2021, the Company paid a cash underwriting discount of 2.0% per Unit, or $4,000,000.

On November 4, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option and, on November 8, 2021, purchased 2,500,000 Units, generating aggregate gross proceeds of $25,000,000, and the Company incurred $500,000 in cash underwriting discounts and $875,000 in deferred underwriting commissions.

Additionally, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting commission of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO totaling $7,000,000 upon the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination.

On August 15, 2023, the Company received a waiver from one of the underwriters of the IPO pursuant to which such underwriter waived all rights to its $5,433,750 of deferred underwriting commissions payable upon completion of an initial Business Combination. As a result, as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the deferred underwriting commissions payable were $2,441,250 and

Table of Contents

$7,875,000, respectively. The Company recorded the $5,433,750 reduction of the deferred underwriting commissions payable against accumulated deficit in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Cash Retention Letter

On May 31, 2023, TopCo and each of Sir Ralf Speth, F. Jeremey Mistry and Stefan Berger, the Company’s executive officers, entered into a cash retention agreement that entitles the three officers to each receive a retention fee of $500,000 (each, a “Retention Fee”), subject to (i) the completion of the Business Combination; (ii) such individual remaining available as an advisor of TopCo and expecting to remain so for a period of six (6) months following the completion of the Business Combination; and (iii) in each case as a condition on an individual basis, Sir Ralf Speth has not resigned as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, F. Jeremey Mistry has not resigned as Chief Financial Officer of the Company and Stefan Berger has not resigned as Chief Operating Officer of the Company, respectively, before the completion of the Business Combination.

The Company has determined that the Retention Fee is compensation for the Company’s officers’ post-closing advisory services to the post-merger entity as it is subject to completion of the Business Combination. As such, the Company will not accrue any contingent Retention Fee Payments in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 6 – Shareholders’ Deficit

Preference shares - The Company is authorized to issue 2,000,000 preference shares, par value of $0.0001 per share, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.

Class A ordinary shares - The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. In connection with the April 2023 Extension, the Company redeemed 15,300,927 Class A ordinary shares from holders of Class A ordinary shares. In connection with the exercise the Third Extension Option, the Company redeemed 2,195,855 Class A ordinary shares from holders of Class A ordinary shares. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 5,003,218 and 22,500,000 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, respectively, including 5,003,218 and 22,500,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption that are classified as temporary equity in the accompanying balance sheets, respectively.

Class B ordinary shares - The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders are entitled to one vote for each Class B ordinary share. Upon the closing of the IPO on October 26, 2021, there were 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding. Of the 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares, an aggregate of up to 750,000 shares were subject to forfeiture to the Company for no consideration to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the initial shareholders would collectively own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the IPO. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor transferred 1,375,000 Class B ordinary shares to the Anchor Investors. On November 4, 2021, the Sponsor sold an aggregate of 843,750 Class B ordinary shares at a price of $0.004 per share and transferred 975,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Company’s officers and independent directors. On May 31, 2023, the Company’s Sponsor transferred an additional 1,775,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Company’s officers and independent directors.

On December 6, 2021, 125,000 of the Class B ordinary shares were forfeited by the Sponsor as a result of the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option and the expiration of the over-allotment option.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 5,625,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding.

The sales or transfers of the Class B ordinary shares and Private Placement Warrants to the Company’s officers and independent directors, as described above, are within the scope of ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation.” Under ASC 718, share-based compensation associated with equity classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The Private Placement Warrants transferred on November 4, 2021 and May 31, 2023, which were recorded as a derivative liability, were settled on the grant date, November 4, 2021 and May 31, 2023, respectively. The settlement of the $711,750 derivative liability related to the Private Placement Warrants transferred on November 4, 2021 was recorded in accumulated deficit in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2021. The settlement of the $390,678 derivative liability related to the Private Placement Warrants transferred on May 31, 2023 was recorded in accumulated deficit in the accompanying balance sheet as of September 30, 2023.

Table of Contents

The Class B ordinary shares and Private Placement Warrants were effectively sold or transferred subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination). Compensation expense related to those is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence under the applicable accounting literature. Stock-based compensation would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable in an amount equal to the number of Class B ordinary shares granted times the grant date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the purchase of those shares. As of September 30, 2023, the Company determined that a Business Combination is not probable and therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized. The unrecognized stock-based compensation expense as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $7,109,928 and $6,719,250, respectively.

The Class A ordinary shareholders and Class B ordinary shareholders of record are entitled to one vote for each ordinary share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders and vote together as a single class, except as required by law; provided, that, prior to the initial Business Combination, holders of the Class B ordinary shares will have the right to appoint all of the Company’s directors and remove directors for any reason, and holders of the Class A ordinary shares will not be entitled to vote on the appointment of directors during such time.

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of the initial Business Combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share sub-divisions, share dividends, rights issuances, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts issued in the IPO and related to the closing of the initial Business Combination, the ratio at which the Class B ordinary shares will convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so 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 all ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon the completion of the IPO plus all Class A ordinary shares issued or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination, 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. The term “equity-linked securities” refers to any debt or equity securities that are convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for our Class A ordinary shares issued in a financing transaction in connection with the initial Business Combination, including but not limited to a private placement of equity or debt.

Note 7 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows the guidance in ASC Topic 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

●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;

●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 many cases, a valuation technique used to measure fair value includes inputs from multiple levels of the fair value hierarchy described above. The lowest level of significant input determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the hierarchy.

Table of Contents

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period.

The Public Warrants are publicly traded and as such are classified as Level 1 and are fair valued based on the publicly traded market pricing. Inherent in a binomial model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected term, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate. The Company estimates the volatility of its Class A ordinary shares based on management’s understanding of the volatility associated with instruments of other similar entities. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity similar to the expected remaining term of the Private Placement Warrants. The expected term of the Private Placement Warrants is simulated based on management assumptions regarding the timing and likelihood of completing a Business Combination. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates will remain at zero. The Company transferred the Private Placement Warrants from Level 3 to Level 2 during the year ended December 31, 2022, as the inputs significant to the valuation became observable as they are benchmarked to those used for the Public Warrants.

The following table presents the changes in the fair value of our liabilities classified as Level 3 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Note 8 - Subsequent Events

On October 10, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Investment Management Trust Agreement with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, which amended the Investment Management Trust Agreement with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, dated October 21, 2021, to include options by the Company to hold Trust Account funds uninvested or in an interest-bearing bank demand deposit account. In connection with the Amendment, the Company delivered the related instruction letter to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company in connection with the reinvestment of the Trust Account funds into an interest-bearing bank demand deposit account.

On October 12, 2023, the Company gave instructions to re-allocate the interest-bearing funds from the Company’s Trust Account from its two existing investment funds into direct deposits. The transfer was completed on October 16, 2023. The transfer was made ahead of the 24-month anniversary of the Company’s initial public offering. As of October 16, 2023, $54,771,964.33 remained in the Trust Account and were reinvested into interest-bearing direct deposits.

On October 17, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to extend its director’s and officer’s liability insurance by three months from its initial expiration date of October 22, 2023 to January 22, 2023. The Company paid $191,350 for the three-month extension.

On November 1, 2023, the Company issued a non-convertible unsecured promissory note (the “November 2023 Promissory Note”) in the principal amount of up to $1,000,000 to the Sponsor. The November 2023 Promissory Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earliest of April 30, 2024, the date on which the Company consummates a business combination, or within three (3) business days of the receipt by the Company of a break-fee, termination fee or similar arrangement in connection with a potential business combination. If the Company does not consummate a business combination, the November 2023 Promissory Note will not be repaid and all amounts owed under the November 2023 Promissory Note will be forgiven except to the extent that the Company has funds available to it outside of its Trust Account.

The Company also agreed to amend and restate certain provisions of a) the Extension Note, b) the March 2023 Promissory Note, c) the April 2023 Promissory Note, d) the May 2023 Promissory Note, and e) the July 2023 Promissory Note in order to align the terms of the Extension Note, March 2023 Promissory Note, April 2023 Promissory Note, May 2023 Promissory Note, and July 2023 Promissory Note with those of the November 2023 Promissory Note to amend the maturity dates from December 31, 2023 to April 30, 2024.

References to our “management” or our “management team” refer to our officers and directors, and references to the “Sponsor” refer to Pegasus Digital Mobility Sponsor LLC. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are not historical facts, and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected and projected. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report including, without limitation, statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding the Company’s financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and variations thereof and similar words and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance, but reflect management’s current beliefs, based on information currently available. Actual results and shareholders’ value will be affected by a variety of risks and factors, including, without limitation, international, national and local economic conditions, merger, acquisition and business combination risks, financing risks, geo-political risks, acts of terror or war, and those risk factors described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. These risks and uncertainties may be amplified by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Hamas’ attack of Israel and the ensuing war, rising levels of inflation and interest rates and the COVID-19 pandemic, which have caused significant economic uncertainty. Many of the risks and factors that will determine these results and shareholder value are beyond our ability to control or predict. The Company’s securities filings can be accessed on the EDGAR section of the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Except as expressly required by applicable securities law, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated on March 30, 2021, as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or assets (a “business combination”). On May 31, 2023, we entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Gebr. SCHMID GmbH, a German limited liability company (“Schmid”), Pegasus Topco B.V., a Dutch private limited liability company and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“TopCo”), and Pegasus MergerSub Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of TopCo (“Merger Sub”), which is subject to numerous conditions, as discussed below under “Recent Developments”. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the net proceeds of our initial public offering (the “initial public offering”) and the private placement of the private placement warrants (as defined below), our shares, debt or a combination of cash, equity and debt.

Pursuant to our second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, if we have not completed our initial business combination by December 31, 2023 (without further extensions, which would require shareholder vote), we will (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the Class A ordinary shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (as defined below), including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Table of Contents

As indicated in the financial statements, as of September 30, 2023, we had cash of $355,601. Further, we expect to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our initial business combination. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete our initial business combination will be successful.

Recent Developments

On May 31, 2023, we entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Schmid, TopCo and Merger Sub. The Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Transactions”) were approved by the boards of directors of each of the Company, TopCo and Merger Sub as well as by Anette Schmid and Christian Schmid, the shareholders of Schmid (each a “Schmid Shareholder” and, collectively, the “Schmid Shareholders”).

We will merge with and into Merger Sub pursuant to Part XVI of the Cayman Companies Act (the “Merger”), with Merger Sub as the surviving company in the Merger, and each issued and outstanding Eligible Pegasus Share (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) will be automatically cancelled and extinguished in exchange for the Merger Consideration as defined and detailed in the Business Combination Agreement (such issuance, together with the Merger, the “Schmid Business Combination”) and each warrant issued by us (the “Pegasus Warrant”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the time the Merger becomes effective (the “Effective Time”) will, immediately following the completion of the Schmid Business Combination, represent a warrant on the same contractual terms and conditions as were in effect with respect to such Pegasus Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, as applicable, that is exercisable for an equivalent number of ordinary shares in the share capital of TopCo (“TopCo Ordinary Shares”), in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. Immediately after giving effect to the Schmid Business Combination, the Schmid Shareholders shall contribute their shares of our stock to Topco in return for such number of TopCo Ordinary Shares equal to the number of shares defined in the Schmid Business Combination (the “Exchange”). Immediately after giving effect to the Exchange, a notarial deed will be executed by a Dutch notary in order to change the legal form of TopCo from a private limited liability company to a public limited liability company and TopCo is currently intended to be renamed to “Schmid Group N.V.”

Our obligations and the obligations of TopCo, Schmid, and Merger Sub to consummate the Transactions are subject to the satisfaction or, if permitted by applicable law, waiver by the Party for whose benefit such condition exists of various conditions, including: (a) no legal restraint or prohibition preventing the consummation of the Transactions shall be in effect; (b) the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement shall have become effective; (c) the Transaction Proposals (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) shall have been approved by our shareholders; (d) our shareholders shall have approved the execution of the Business Combination Agreement and execution of the transactions contemplated hereby and certain other matters related to the implementation of the Transactions and such approval shall continue to be in full force and effect; (e) after giving effect to the Transactions, TopCo shall have at least U.S.$5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) immediately after the closing of the Transactions; and (f) TopCo shall receive a minimum of U.S.$35,000,000 in cash from the Transaction (from cash held in trust or private investments in public equity (PIPE)).

On September 22, 2023, we entered into that certain First Amendment to Business Combination Agreement (the “First Amendment”) with Schmid, TopCo and Merger Sub, pursuant to which the parties amended certain provisions and references within the Business Combination Agreement, to, among other things, reflect that: (i) prior to the Effective Time, the Schmid Shareholders will purchase the sole share in the capital of TopCo from the Company against payment of the nominal value of the sole share, being an amount of EUR 0.01 (the “Purchase”); (ii) the Exchange and the change in legal form of TopCo will be effective after the Purchase and prior to the Effective Time (rather than after the Effective Time); (iii) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (A) the transfer of property by the Schmid Shareholders to TopCo in consideration for the issuance of TopCo Ordinary Shares, taken together with the merger, will be treated as part of an integrated transaction that qualifies as a contribution pursuant to Section 351 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Department of Treasury, and (B) TopCo will generally be treated as a corporation under Section 367(a) of the Code with respect to each transfer of property thereto in connection with such transactions; and (iv) we will be designated the Surviving Company (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) rather than Merger Sub.

For further information regarding the Business Combination Agreement, see “Item 1 – Note 1 to the Financial Statements – Initial Business Combination.”

Results of Operations

As of September 30, 2023, we had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from March 30, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2023 relates to our formation and initial public offering, and, since the completion of the initial public offering, our search for a target to consummate a business combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a business combination, at the earliest. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the initial public offering and placed in a U.S.-based trust account (the “Trust Account”) at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

We classify the warrants issued in connection with our initial public offering and private placement as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the warrant instruments to fair value at each reporting period. These liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statements of operations.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we had net loss of $571,144, which consisted of listing expenses of $24,426, administrative expenses of $311,116, legal and accounting expenses of $1,216,463, a $1,300 foreign exchange currency conversion loss, offset by a $182,500 gain on the change in fair value of the warrant liability, interest and dividend income on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $799,661.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had net loss of $2,605,235, which consisted of listing expenses of $73,278, administrative expenses of $848,668, legal and accounting expenses of $4,052,416, insurance expense of $49,531, a $2,082,055 loss on the change in fair value of the warrant liability, and a $30,951 foreign exchange currency conversion loss, offset by interest and dividend income on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $4,531,664.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had net income of $4,829,362, which consisted of listing expenses of $21,250, administrative expenses of $51,847, legal and accounting expenses of $72,197, and insurance expense of $178,233, offset by an unrealized gain on fair value changes of warrants of $4,205,250, interest and dividend income on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $947,639.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had net income of $6,887,270, which consisted of listing expenses of $63,750, administrative expenses of $200,127, legal and accounting expenses of $384,628, and insurance expense of $534,700, offset by an unrealized gain on fair value changes of warrants of $6,843,000, interest and dividend income on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $1,227,475.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

As of September 30, 2023, we had $355,601 in cash held outside of the Trust Account and a working capital deficit of $8,952,710.

Following our initial public offering and the sale of warrants in a private placement (the “private placement warrants”) to the Sponsor, a total of $227,250,000 was placed in the Trust Account.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was $1,425,341. Net loss of $2,605,235 was increased by accrued interest and dividends on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $232,763 and offset by an unrealized loss on the change in fair value of warrant liability of $2,082,055 and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $2,181,284.

As of September 30, 2023, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $54,654,543, net of pro-rata principal and interest, dividends and realized gains distributions related to redemptions (including $3,420,197 of deposits related to the extension payments and $4,531,664 of interest, dividends and realized gains on marketable securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023) consisting of securities held in Treasury Securities and a money market fund that invests in U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity of 185 days or less.

As of September 30, 2023, we had cash of $355,601 held outside the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a business combination.

Table of Contents

We may need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business prior to our initial business combination. We expect to incur significant costs related to identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial business combination. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year from the date that the financial statements accompanying this Quarterly Report are issued.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a business combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. In the event that a business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-business combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants. As of September 30, 2023, we did not have any outstanding working capital loans.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have not identified any additional critical accounting estimates that were not disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 or Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, or September 30, 2023.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to the financial statements required by Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

JOBS Act

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act will be allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the chief executive officer’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the date of the first sale of securities in our initial public offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the evaluation date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of material weaknesses identified as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2023. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As previously disclosed in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as of December 31, 2022, we identified a material weakness related to the fact that we had not yet designed and maintained effective controls relating to the presentation of our statements of cash flows, which continued to exist as of September 30, 2023. In addition, as of September 30, 2023, we identified a material weakness related to the fact that we had not yet designed and maintained effective controls relating to the presentation of net income (loss) per ordinary share within our financial statements.

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Remediation Plan

As previously disclosed in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, we implemented a remediation plan to address the material weakness identified as of December 31, 2022. This remediation plan also addresses the additional material weakness identified as of September 30, 2023. Our principal financial officer will continue to perform additional post-closing review procedures including a review of the classification of earnings on the Trust Account and confirmation of amounts and balances with the trustee. Our principal financial officer will perform post-closing review procedures including a review of weighted average shares outstanding and net income (loss) per ordinary share calculations. There can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful or avoid potential future material weaknesses. In addition, until the remediation plan has been completed and operated for a sufficient period of time, and subsequent evaluation of its effectiveness is completed, the material weaknesses identified and described above will continue to exist. We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, and are continuing to implement, will be sufficient to remediate the material weaknesses we have identified or avoid potential future material weaknesses.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as disclosed above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023 covered by this Quarterly Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

None.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Other than the risk factor listed below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Unless specifically stated, this report does not give effect to the proposed Schmid Business Combination and does not contain the risks associated with the proposed Schmid Business Combination. Such risks and effects relating to the proposed Schmid Business Combination will be included in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 that will be filed with the SEC relating to the proposed Schmid Business Combination.

Our ability to consummate our pending business combination and the target business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination may be materially adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Hamas’ attack on Israel and the ensuing war and other events and the status of debt and equity markets.

Our ability to consummate our pending business combination could be negatively impacted, and the target could experience or may already have experienced negative impacts to its business and results of operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and macroeconomic, geopolitical and other events, challenges, uncertainties and volatility.

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected economies and financial markets worldwide, business operations and the conduct of commerce generally, and the business of the target with which we consummate a business combination could be, or may already have been, materially and adversely affected.

In addition, any terrorist attack, other act of violence or war, including military conflicts, such as the escalating conflict between Russia and Ukraine, could result in increased volatility in, or damage to, the worldwide financial markets and economy. This risk may be magnified in the case of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, due to the significant sanctions and other restrictive actions taken against Russia by the United States and other countries in response to Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, as well as the cessation of all business in Russia by many global companies. The actions of Russian military forces and support personnel in Ukraine and the foregoing actions by the United States and other jurisdictions could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies.

Further, political, economic and military conditions in Israel may directly affect our ability to close the pending business combination and the business of the target. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and its neighboring countries, and between Israel and the Hamas and Hezbollah extremist groups. In addition, several countries, principally in the Middle East, restrict doing business with Israel, and additional countries may impose restrictions on doing business with Israel and Israeli companies whether as a result of hostilities in the region or otherwise. Any hostilities involving Israel, terrorist activities, political instability or violence in the region or the interruption or curtailment of trade or transport between Israel and its trading partners could adversely affect our ability to consummate the pending business combination and the business and results of operations of the target.

If the disruptions posed by COVID-19 or other events (such as terrorist attacks, natural disasters or a significant outbreak of other infectious diseases) continue for an extensive period of time, our ability to consummate the pending business combination, or the operations of a target business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination, may be materially adversely affected.

Moreover, our ability to consummate a business combination may be dependent on the ability to raise equity and debt financing which may be impacted by COVID-19 and other events (such as terrorist attacks, natural disasters or a significant outbreak of other infectious diseases), including as a result of increased market volatility and decreased market liquidity and third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to us or at all.

It is not possible to predict to what extent the foregoing events may negatively impact economies around the world, including the United States. Continued or increased adverse macroeconomic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our ability to close the pending business combination and the target’s financial condition and results of operations. Finally, the COVID-19 pandemic, the conflict

between Russia and Ukraine, Hamas’ attack on Israel and the ensuing war and other events may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities, Use of Proceeds, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information
