Related Party Transactions
Founder Shares
On May 21, 2021, we issued to APX Sponsor an aggregate of 4,312,500 Class B Ordinary Shares (“Founder Shares”) in exchange for a capital contribution of $25,000, or approximately $0.006 per share. On November 8, 2021, APX Sponsor transferred 20,000 of our Founder Shares to two of our independent directors, Angel Losada Moreno and David Proman, in each case at their original purchase price.
In connection with the Transfer, APX Sponsor transferred to the Templar Sponsor 3,342,188 Founder Shares. In addition, in connection with the Transfer, Mr. Moreno and Mr. Moreno each transferred their 20,000 Founder Shares back to APX Sponsor.
On October 2, 2023, each of the Templar Sponsor and the APX Sponsor converted all of its Class B Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis into Class A Ordinary Shares.
Working Capital Promissory Note
On September 8, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Templar Note”) in the principal amount of $500,000 to Templar Sponsor. The Templar Note does not bear interest and the principal balance will be payable on the date on which the Company consummates its initial business combination (the “Maturity Date”). In the event the Company consummates its initial business combination, the Templar Sponsor has the option on the Maturity Date to convert up to $1,500,000 of the principal outstanding under the Templar Note into that number of warrants (“Working Capital Warrants”) equal to the portion of the principal amount of the Templar Note being converted divided by $1.00, rounded up to the nearest whole number. The terms of the Working Capital Warrants, if any, would be identical to the terms of the private placement warrants issued by the Company at the time of its initial public offering, as described in the prospectus for the initial public offering dated December 6, 2021 and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including the transfer restrictions applicable thereto. The Templar Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of certain of which automatically triggers the unpaid principal balance of the Templar Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Templar Note becoming immediately due and payable. The issuance of the Templar Note was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Amended and Restated Promissory Note
On February 9, 2024, the Company and Templar Sponsor amended and restated the Templar Note (the “Amended and Restated Note”), to increase the maximum principal amount from $500,000 to $2,000,000 and to provide that, in addition to funding working capital needs, amounts under the Amended and Restated Note may be used the purposes of making one or more payments to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York limited liability trust company, as Extension Payments (as defined in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 29, 2023, as amended). Other than as set forth above, the terms of the Amended and Restated Note are identical to those of the Templar Note. The issuance of the Amended and Restated Note was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
