Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated on July 26, 2021 (inception) as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”). We have not selected any business combination target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target. We intend to effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of our IPO and the sale of our shares, debt or a combination of cash, equity and debt. We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.
Recent Development
On March 17, 2023, Aimfinity Investment LLC (the “Sponsor”) initiated a distribution of 280,000 founder shares and 492,000 private placement units of the Company held by the sponsor to Imperii Strategies LLC, Aimfinity & Co. Ltd., and Yuming Investments LLC, all existing members of the sponsor at that time, and entered into a repurchase agreement with Xin Wang, Joshua Gordon, James J. Long and Nicholas Torres III, then directors and officers of the Company, to transfer 10,000 founder shares each to the sponsor, as a result of which, the sponsor directly held 1,692,500 founder shares as of March 17, 2023.
On the same date, Mr. I-Fa Chang entered into a Membership Interest Purchase and Transfer Agreement (the “Membership Purchase Agreement”) with Aimfinity Investment LLC (the “Sponsor”), Imperii Strategies LLC, Aimfinity & Co. LTD and Yuming Investments LLC (each a “Seller, and collectively, the “Sellers”). Pursuant to the Membership Purchase Agreement, Mr. I-Fa Chang purchased all outstanding membership interests of the Sponsor from the Sellers, and became sole manager and member of the Sponsor, in exchange for the consideration of $1,000,000. Upon the purchased of membership interest, Mr. I-Fa Chang, as the sole member and manager of the sponsor, is deemed the beneficial owner of 1,692,500 founder shares.
All founder shares and private placement units remain subject to the terms of the Letter Agreement dated April 25, 2022 and applicable lockup restrictions (as described in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No.: 263874), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the initial public offering of the Company).
In connection with the purchase of membership interest, on March 17, 2023, all of our then directors and officers resigned from their respective positions. There was no known disagreement with any of the Company’s outgoing directors on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. Concurrently with the resignations, the Company, by ordinary resolution of the holders of the Class B ordinary shares of the Company, or the “founder shares”, appointed I-Fa Chang as sole director of the board of directors (the “Board”). On the same day, I-Fa Chang, exercising his authority as the sole director of the Board, appointed four new members to the Board to fill such vacancies, consisting of Kevin Vassily as a Class I director, Hanzhong (Han) Li and Teng-Wei Chen as Class II directors, and Xuedong (Tony) Tian as a Class III director, effective immediately. The Board then appointed Mr. Chang as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Mr. Tian as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effectively immediately. The Board further designated Mr. Chang as a Class III director.
None of our officers or directors will receive any cash compensation for services rendered to us and the Company has entered into an Indemnity Agreement with each of our current directors and officers on March 17, 2023.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from July 26, 2021 (inception) to December 31, 2022 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the IPO, described below, and, after the IPO, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We may generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with completing a Business Combination.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, we had a net loss of $352,037. For the period from July 26, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, we had a net loss of $2,704.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Until the consummation of the IPO, our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of ordinary shares by the Sponsor and loans from our Sponsor.
On April 28, 2022, we consummated the IPO of 8,050,000 units (“Public Units”), inclusive of 1,050,000 Public Units sold to the underwriters upon the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option. Each Public Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, $0.0001 par value per share (such shares included in the Public Units, the “Public Shares”), one Class 1 redeemable warrant (the “Class 1 Warrant”) and one-half of one Class 2 redeemable warrant (the “Class 2 Warrant”, together with the Class 1 Warrant, the “Public Warrants”), each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Public Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The Public Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $80,500,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we consummated the sale of 492,000 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $4,920,000.
Following the closing of the IPO and sale of the Private Placement Units on April 28, 2022, a total of $82,110,000 was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by U.S. Bank, National Association, acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”), and we had $1,495,650 of cash held outside of the Trust Account, after payment of costs related to the IPO, and available for working capital purposes. In connection with the IPO, we incurred $5,117,607 in transaction costs, consisting of $1,610,000 of underwriting fees, $2,817,500 of deferred underwriting fees and $690,107 of other offering costs.
