PRELIMINARY — SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED JULY 21, 2023

PROXY STATEMENT FOR SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OF
PRIME NUMBER ACQUISITION I CORP.
and
PROSPECTUS FOR UP TO 138,313,432 ORDINARY SHARES AND 3,225,000 WARRANTS
OF
PRIME NUMBER HOLDING LIMITED

The board of directors of Prime Number Acquisition I Corp., a Delaware corporation (“PNAC”), has unanimously approved the Business Combination Agreement, dated December 29, 2022 (as may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Prime Number Holding Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“PubCo”), PNAC, Prime Number Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub”), Prime Number New Sub Pte. Ltd., a Singapore private company limited by shares and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“New SubCo”), NOCO-NOCO PTE. LTD., a Singapore private company limited by shares (“noco-noco”), and certain shareholders of noco-noco collectively holding a controlling interest (together with other shareholders of noco-noco subsequently joining the transactions, the “Sellers”), pursuant to which PNAC is proposing to enter into a business combination with noco-noco involving a merger and a share exchange, among which: (i) Merger Sub shall merger with and into PNAC, with PNAC as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Merger”), (ii) New SubCo shall acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of noco-noco from the Sellers, and in exchange, PubCo shall issue to the Sellers the ordinary shares of PubCo, with noco-noco becoming a subsidiary of New SubCo and an indirect subsidiary of PubCo (the “Share Exchange”, and together with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”). Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, each of PNAC and noco-noco would become a subsidiary of PubCo, and PNAC stockholders and the Sellers would receive ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of PubCo (“PubCo Ordinary Shares”) as consideration and become the shareholders of PubCo.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, upon the consummation of the Business Combination: (i) each PNAC unit (“PNAC Units”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger shall be automatically detached and the holder thereof shall be deemed to hold one share of PNAC Class A Common Stock (defined below), one half of PNAC Warrant (defined below), and one PNAC Right (defined below); (ii) each share of PNAC Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“PNAC Class A Common Stock”, together with PNAC Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, the “PNAC Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger shall be canceled in exchange for the right to receive one PubCo Ordinary Share, (iii) each PNAC warrant (“PNAC Warrant”) outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger shall cease to be a warrant with respect to PNAC Common Stock and be assumed by PubCo and converted into a warrant of PubCo to purchase one PubCo Ordinary Share subject to substantially the same terms and conditions prior to the effective time of the Merger; and (iv) each PNAC Right (“PNAC Right”) outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive one-eighth (1/8) of one PubCo Ordinary Share. In addition, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, upon the consummation of the Share Exchange (i) New SubCo shall acquire the outstanding shares of noco-noco (“noco-noco Shares”) from the Sellers, (ii) in exchange, each Seller shall receive such number of newly issued PubCo Ordinary Share that is equal to the product of (a) the quotient of (i) $1,350,000,000 (the “noco-noco Valuation”), divided by (ii) the price per PubCo Ordinary Share that equals to the redemption price of each share of PNAC Class A Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination (the “PubCo Per Share Price”), multiplied by (b) such Seller’s Pro Rata Portion as set out in the Allocation Schedule of the Business Combination Agreement.

Pursuant to our current effective amended and restated certificate of incorporation, dated May 10, 2022 and as amended by a certificate of amendment dated May 17, 2023 (together, the “Existing PNAC Charter”), we have until August 17, 2023 to consummate the Business Combination (or November 17, 2023, if fully extended pursuant to the Existing PNAC Charter).

For details on the transactions involved in the Business Combination, see “Questions and Answers about the Proposals — What is expected to happen in the Business Combination?”

PNAC stockholders are being asked to consider a vote upon the Business Combination and certain proposals related thereto as described in this proxy statement/prospectus. As a result of, and upon consummation of the Business Combination, noco-noco shall become a subsidiary of PubCo, and PubCo shall become a new public company owned by the prior holders of PNAC Common Stock, the prior holders of PNAC Rights, the prior holders of PNAC Warrants, the Sellers, and certain third-party investors of a financing in connection with the Business Combination.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Prior to the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), PubCo shall be renamed as “noco-noco Inc.” PubCo has applied for listing, to be effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, of the PubCo Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “NCNC”.

No compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, will be paid by PNAC to our Sponsors, officers, directors or any of our or their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection with the completion of the Business Combination. However, these individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying and investigating potential target businesses and completing the Business Combination. Certain directors and officers of PNAC are direct or indirect members of the Sponsor, and, following the consummation of the Business Combination, each such director and officer of PNAC is entitled to receive PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants then held by the Sponsors as further described in “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.” for more information.

On October 25, 2022, PNAC entered into an engagement letter with Prime Number Capital LLC (“PNCPS”) and WestPark Capital, Inc. (“WestPark”), the representatives of the underwriters for the initial public offering of PNAC (the “IPO”), to act as the financial advisors to PNAC (the “Financial Advisory Engagement”). In connection with the Financial Advisory Engagement, PNCPS and Westpark will not receive any additional compensation for services rendered under the Financial Advisory Engagement except the deferred underwriting fee in the mount of $2,257,500 as provided in a certain underwriting agreement for the IPO dated May 12, 2022 among PNAC, PNCPS and Westpark. PNAC also agrees to reimburse PNCPS and WestPark up to $20,000 for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the performance of their services thereunder. In addition, on the same date, PNAC separately entered into an engagement letter with PNCPS who would, among others, use its reasonable efforts in identifying and introducing potential targets, valuate potential business combination and assess the proposed structure for business combination and assist in managing the process and other related service (the “Business Combination Advisory Engagement”). On January 31, 2023, PNAC entered into an amendment to the foregoing engagement letter to set forth the compensation for the Business Combination Advisory Engagement. In connection with the Business Combiantion Advisory Engagegment, PNAC shall pay or cause the surviving entities of the Business Combination to pay PNCPS $500,000 in cash and issue PNCPS 609,756 PubCo Ordinary Shares upon the Closing of the Business Combination. PNAC also agrees to reimburse PNCPS up to $5,000 for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in rendering their services. In addition, on April 30, 2023, PNAC entered into a Placement Agent Agreement with PNCPS, pursuant to which PNCPS shall act as the placement agent for the solicitation and placecement of securities of PNAC, in exchange for a placement fee of 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds received by PNAC from the sales of such securities. Further details of these arrangement are set forth in the section entitled “Business Combination Proposal — Certain Engagements in Connection with the Business Combination and Related Transactions.”

Immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, 3DOM Alliance will hold approximately 68.0% (under the no redemption scenario) or approximately 71.3% (under the maximum redemption scenario) of PubCo’s voting power. As a result, PubCo will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of the Nasdaq listing rules. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power in the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to PubCo and Ownership of PubCo’s Shares — Because we are a “controlled company” as defined in the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules, you may not have protections of certain corporate governance requirements which otherwise are required by Nasdaq’s rules” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to PubCo and Ownership of PubCo’s Shares — PubCo is a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands and will qualify as a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act, and as such PubCo is exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States domestic public companies.”

Pubco is, and will be after the consummation of the Business Combination, considered a “foreign private issuer” under the Exchange Act and therefore exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act, including the proxy rules, which impose certain disclosure and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations for U.S. and other issuers. Moreover, Pubco is not required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or within the same time frames as U.S. companies with securities registered under the Exchange Act, although it may elect to file certain periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC on a voluntary basis on the forms used by U.S. domestic issuers. Pubco is not required to comply with Regulation FD, which imposes restrictions on the selective disclosure of material information to shareholders. In addition, Pubco’s officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules under the Exchange Act with respect to their purchases and sales of Pubco’s securities. Accordingly, after the Business Combination, if you continue to hold Pubco’s securities, you may receive less or different information about Pubco than you currently receive about PNAC or that you would receive about a U.S. domestic public company.

In addition, as a “foreign private issuer”, Pubco is permitted to follow certain home-country corporate governance practices in lieu of certain Nasdaq requirements. A foreign private issuer must disclose in its annual reports filed with the SEC each Nasdaq requirement with which it does not comply followed by a description of its applicable home country practice. Pubco currently intends to follow some, but not all, of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq. With respect to the corporate

TABLE OF CONTENTS

governance requirements of Pubco that it does follow, Pubco cannot give assurances that it will continue to follow such corporate governance requirements in the future, and may therefore in the future, rely on available Nasdaq exemptions that would allow Pubco to follow its home country practice. Unlike the requirements of Nasdaq, Pubco is not required, under the corporate governance practice and requirements in the Cayman Islands, to have its board consist of a majority of independent directors, nor is Pubco required to have a compensation committee, a nominating or a corporate governance committee consisting entirely of independent directors, or to have regularly scheduled executive sessions with only independent directors each year. Such Cayman Islands home country practices may afford less protection to holders of Ordinary Shares. For additional information regarding the home country practices Pubco intends to follow in lieu of Nasdaq requirements, see “Management of Pubco Following the Business Combination — Foreign Private Issuer Status.”

Pubco would lose its status as a “foreign private issuer” under current SEC rules and regulations if more than 50% of Pubco’s outstanding voting securities becomes directly or indirectly held of record by U.S. holders and one of the following is true: (i) the majority of Pubco’s directors or executive officers are U.S. citizens or residents; (ii) more than 50% of Pubco’s assets are located in the United States; or (iii) Pubco’s business is administered principally in the United States. If Pubco loses its status as a foreign private issuer in the future, it will no longer be exempt from the rules described above and, among other things, will be required to file periodic reports and annual and quarterly financial statements as if it were a company incorporated in the United States. If this were to happen, Pubco would likely incur substantial costs in fulfilling these additional regulatory requirements and members of Pubco’s management would likely have to divert time and resources from other responsibilities to ensuring these additional regulatory requirements are fulfilled. PubCo also expect that if it were required to comply with the rules and regulations applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, it would make it more difficult and expensive for PubCo to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and it may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These rules and regulations could also make it more difficult for PubCo to attract and retain qualified members of its board of directors.

The Business Combination Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A. Upon the consummation of the Merger, PubCo shall adopt the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Amended PubCo Charter”) in the form attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B.

Proposals to approve the Business Combination Agreement and the other matters discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus shall be presented at the Special Meeting of shareholders of PNAC scheduled to be held on , 2023.

This proxy statement/prospectus provides you with detailed information about the Business Combination and other matters to be considered at the Special Meeting of PNAC stockholders. We encourage you to carefully read this entire document. You should, in particular, carefully consider the risk factors described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 52 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

The board of directors of PNAC has unanimously approved and adopted the Business Combination Agreement and unanimously recommends that the PNAC stockholders vote FOR all of the proposals presented to the shareholders. When you consider the board of directors’ recommendation of these proposals, you should keep in mind that certain of PNAC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of PNAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination.”

This proxy statement/prospectus is dated [ ], 2023 and is first being mailed to PNAC stockholders on or about [ ], 2023.

NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES REGULATORY AGENCY HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED THE TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS OR ANY OF THE SECURITIES TO BE ISSUED IN THE BUSINESS COMBINATION, PASSED UPON THE MERITS OR FAIRNESS OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION OR RELATED TRANSACTIONS OR PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THE DISCLOSURE IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY CONSTITUTES A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

No person is authorized to give any information or to make any representation with respect to the matters that this proxy statement/prospectus describes other than those contained in this proxy statement/ prospectus, and, if given or made, the information or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorized by PubCo, PNAC or noco-noco. This proxy statement/prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy securities or a solicitation of a proxy in any jurisdiction where, or to any person to whom, it is unlawful to make such an offer or a solicitation.

Prime Number Acquisition I Corp.
1129 Northern Blvd., Suite 404
Manhasset, NY 11030

Dear Prime Number Acquisition I Corp. Shareholders:

You are cordially invited to attend the Special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of Prime Number Acquisition I Corp., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (“PNAC”), at [ ] AM Eastern time, on [ ], 2023 virtually at https://[ ], and on such other date and at such other place to which the meeting may be adjourned. We are pleased to utilize virtual shareholder meeting technology to (i) provide ready access and cost savings for PNAC stockholders and PNAC, and (ii) to promote social distancing pursuant to guidance provided by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) due to COVID-19. The virtual meeting format allows attendance from any location in the world. In light of public health concerns regarding COVID-19, virtual attendance is encouraged.

The Special Meeting shall be held for the following purpose:

to consider and vote upon a proposal, which is referred to herein as the “Business Combination Proposal,” to (a) adopt and approve the Business Combination Agreement and other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), (b) approve the Business Combination which includes (i) the Merger between PNAC and Merger Sub with PNAC surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo, (ii) the Share Exchange whereby the Sellers will exchange their noco-noco Shares for newly issued PubCo Ordinary Shares and noco-noco will be an indirect subsidiary of PubCo, and (iii) other transactions contemplated therein. The Business Combination Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A;

to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, by special resolution, assuming the Business Combination Proposal is approved and adopted, the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of PubCo (as the surviving company in the Business Combination) upon completion of the Merger (the “Governing Documents Proposal”). The form of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of PubCo is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B;

to consider and approve, if presented, a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates (the “Adjournment Proposal”).

Each of the Business Combination Proposal and the Governing Documents Proposal is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

As further described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, the following transactions will occur:

(i) PNAC shall merge with and into Merger Sub, with PNAC being the surviving company, (ii) New SubCo shall acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of noco-noco from the shareholders of noco-noco, or the Sellers, and in exchange, PubCo shall issue to the Sellers the PubCo Ordinary Shares with noco-noco becoming a subsidiary of New SubCo and indirect subsidiary of PubCo;

(i) each (a) PNAC Unit issued and outstanding issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger shall be automatically detached and the holder thereof shall be deemed to hold one share of PNAC Class A Common Stock, one-half of PNAC Warrant, and one PNAC Right; (b) share of PNAC Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger shall be canceled in exchange for the right to receive one PubCo Ordinary Share, (ii) each PNAC Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger shall cease to be a warrant with respect to PNAC Common Stock and be assumed by PubCo and converted into a warrant of PubCo to purchase one PubCo Ordinary Share, subject to substantially the same terms and conditions prior to the effective time of the Merger; (iii) each PNAC Right outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive one-eighth (1/8) of one PubCo Ordinary Share; and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

following the Merger, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, (i) each Seller shall transfer its ordinary shares of noco-noco to New SubCo, (ii) each Seller shall receive such number of newly issued PubCo Ordinary Shares that is equal to the product of (a) the quotient of (i) $1,350,000,000 (the “noco-noco Valuation”), divided by (ii) the price per PubCo Ordinary Share that equals to the redemption price of each share of PNAC Class A Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination (the “PubCo Per Share Price”), multiplied by (b) such Seller’s Pro Rata Portion as set out in the Allocation Schedule of the Business Combination Agreement (the “Share Exchange”, and together with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”).

As provided in the Business Combination Agreement, PubCo, PNAC and the New SubCo shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain equity financing (the “Transaction Financing”) on the terms mutually agreed to by noco-noco and PNAC, in an amount that is at least $20,000,000 prior to or upon the Share Exchange Closing. We do not expect that PNAC’s Sponsors, directors, officers and their affiliates will participate in the Transaction Financing.

In connection with the Business Combination, certain related agreements will be entered into prior to or concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination, including Lock-up Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement, Warrant Assumption Agreement and transaction documents in connection with the Transaction Financing (each as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus). See “The Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for more information.

The Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, shall allow the Chairman of the Special Meeting to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary. In no event shall PNAC solicit proxies to adjourn the Special Meeting or consummate the Business Combination and related transactions beyond the date by which it may properly do so under PNAC’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation dated May 10, 2022, which was amended by a certificate of amendment dated May 17, 2023 (together with the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the “Existing PNAC Charter”), and Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). The purpose of the Adjournment Proposal is to provide more time to meet the requirements that are necessary to consummate the Business Combination and related transactions. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal set forth in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

Each of these proposals is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, which each PNAC stockholder is encouraged to read carefully and in its entirety.

Pursuant to the Existing PNAC Charter, a holder (a “PNAC Public Stockholder”) of shares of PNAC’s Class A Common Stock sold in PNAC IPO (including the exercise of over-allotment option) (such shares, “PNAC Public Shares”) may request that PNAC redeem all or a portion of such PNAC Public Shares for cash in connection with the completion of the Business Combination. The redemption rights include the requirement that a holder must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its legal name, phone number and address to VStock in order to validly redeem its shares. PNAC Public Stockholders may elect to redeem their PNAC Public Shares even if they vote “for” the Business Combination Proposal. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the PNAC Public Shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank. If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a PNAC Public Stockholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the PNAC Public Shares that it holds and timely delivers its share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms (as applicable) to VStock, PNAC will redeem such PNAC Public Shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to PNAC. For illustrative purposes, as of July 13, 2023 (the “Record Date”), the redemption price was approximately $10.60 per share less any owed but unpaid taxes on the funds in the Trust Account. If a PNAC Public Stockholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its PNAC

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Public Shares for cash and will no longer own PNAC Public Shares. See “Special Meeting of PNAC stockholders — Redemption Rights” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your PNAC Public Shares for cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a PNAC Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such PNAC Public Stockholder or any other person with whom such PNAC Public Stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its PNAC Public Shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the PNAC Public Shares. Accordingly, if a PNAC Public Stockholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the PNAC Public Shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed.

The Prime Number Acquisition LLC (“Sponsor A”), Glorious Capital LLC (“Sponsor B”, together with Sponsor A, the “Sponsors”), and the officers and directors of PNAC (together with Sponsors, and the affiliates of the Sponsors, officers and directors of PNAC, the “PNAC Initial Stockholders”) have agreed to, among other things, vote all of their PNAC Founder Shares and PNAC Private Shares in favor of the proposals being presented at the Special Meeting and waive their redemption rights with respect to their PNAC Founder Shares and PNAC Private Shares in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the PNAC Initial Stockholders own approximately 29.05% of the issued and outstanding shares of PNAC Common Stock.

The Business Combination Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain other closing conditions as described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. There can be no assurance that the parties to the Business Combination Agreement would waive any such closing condition. In addition, in no event will PNAC redeem PNAC Public Shares in an amount that would cause the net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) of PNAC or the entity that succeeds PNAC as a public company to be less than $5,000,001 after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

PNAC is providing the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus and accompanying proxy card to PNAC stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the Special Meeting and at any adjournments of the Special Meeting. Information about the Special Meeting, the Business Combination and other related business to be considered by PNAC stockholders at the Special Meeting is included in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, all of PNAC stockholders should read the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and other documents referred to therein, carefully and in their entirety. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 52 of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

After careful consideration, PNAC’s board of directors has unanimously approved the Business Combination and determined that the Business Combination Proposal, the Governing Documents Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are advisable and fair to and in the best interest of PNAC and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Governing Documents Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, if presented. When you consider the board of directors’ recommendation of these proposals, you should keep in mind that our directors and our officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of PNAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination.” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a further discussion of these considerations.

The approval of each of Business Combination Proposal and the Governing Documents Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of PNAC Common Stock case in respect of the relevant proposal and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. The approval of the Adjournment Proposal if presented will require the consent of the meeting, which means a simple majority of the votes which are cast by those shareholders of PNAC who are present, in person or by proxy, and vote thereupon at the Special Meeting.

If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Governing Documents Proposal will not be presented to PNAC stockholders for a vote.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Your vote is important regardless of the number of shares you own. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, please sign, date, vote and return the enclosed proxy card as soon as possible in the envelope provided to make sure that your shares are represented at the Special Meeting. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker or bank to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. The Business Combination will be consummated only if the Business Combination Proposal and the Governing Documents Proposal are approved at the Special Meeting. Each of the Business Combination Proposal and the Governing Documents Proposal is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS, YOU MUST DEMAND IN WRITING THAT YOUR PNAC COMMON STOCK BE REDEEMED FOR A PRO RATA PORTION OF THE FUNDS HELD IN THE TRUST ACCOUNT AND TENDER YOUR SHARES TO OUR TRANSFER AGENT AT LEAST TWO BUSINESS DAYS BEFORE THE SCHEDULED DATE OF THE SPECIAL MEETING. IN ORDER TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHT, YOU NEED TO IDENTIFY YOURSELF AS A BENEFICIAL HOLDER AND PROVIDE YOUR LEGAL NAME, PHONE NUMBER AND ADDRESS IN YOUR WRITTEN DEMAND. YOU MAY TENDER YOUR SHARES BY EITHER DELIVERING YOUR SHARE CERTIFICATE TO THE TRANSFER AGENT OR BY DELIVERING YOUR SHARES ELECTRONICALLY USING THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY’S DWAC (DEPOSIT WITHDRAWAL AT CUSTODIAN) SYSTEM.

TO BE HELD ON [ ], 2023

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF PRIME NUMBER ACQUISITION I CORP.:

On behalf of the board of directors of Prime Number Acquisition I Corp. (“PNAC,” “we,” “our” or “us”), a Delaware corporation, we are pleased to enclose the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the proposed business combination as provided in the Business Combination Agreement dated December 29, 2022 (as may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Prime Number Holding Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“PubCo”), PNAC, Prime Number Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub”), Prime Number New Sub Pte. Ltd., a Singapore private company limited by shares and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“New SubCo”), NOCO-NOCO PTE. LTD., a Singapore private company limited by shares (“noco-noco”), and certain shareholders of noco-noco collectively holding a controlling interest (together with other shareholders of noco-noco subsequently joining the transactions, the “Sellers”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, among others: (i) Merger Sub shall merger with and into PNAC, with PNAC as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Merger”), (ii) New SubCo shall acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of noco-noco from the Sellers, and in exchange, PubCo shall issue to the Sellers the ordinary shares of PubCo, with noco-noco becoming a subsidiary of New SubCo and an indirect subsidiary of PubCo (the “Share Exchange”, and together with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”). Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, each of PNAC and noco-noco would become a subsidiary of PubCo, and PNAC stockholders and the Sellers would receive ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of PubCo (“PubCo Ordinary Shares”) as consideration and become the shareholders of PubCo. Prior to the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), PubCo shall be renamed as “noco-noco Inc.” PubCo has applied for listing, to be effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, of its ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“PubCo Ordinary Shares”) on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “NCNC”.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that an Special meeting of shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) of PNAC shall be held at [ ] AM Eastern time, on [ ], 2023 virtually at [ ]. In light of public health concerns regarding COVID-19, virtual attendance is encouraged and attendees of the physical meeting are required to adhere to the then prevailing COVID-19 measures and regulations implemented by the venue provider and state and local authorities, including, but not limited to, with respect to vaccination, mask-wearing and testing. You are cordially invited to attend the Special Meeting, to conduct the following items of business and/or consider, and if thought fit, approve the following proposals:

Proposal No. 1 — the Business Combination Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal, which is referred to herein as the “Business Combination Proposal,” to (a) adopt and approve the Business Combination Agreement and other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), (b) approve the Business Combination which includes (i) the Merger between PNAC and Merger Sub with PNAC surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo, (ii) the Share Exchange whereby the Sellers will exchange their noco-noco Shares for newly issued PubCo Ordinary Shares and noco-noco will be an indirect subsidiary of PubCo, and (iii) other transactions contemplated therein. The Business Combination Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A;

Proposal No. 2 — the Governing Documents Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, by special resolution, assuming the Business Combination Proposal is approved and adopted, the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of PubCo (as the surviving company in the Business Combination) (the “Amended PubCo Charter”) upon completion of the Merger (the “Governing Documents Proposal”). The form of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of PubCo is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B which among others, include:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

to change the share structure from a multi-class share structure of PNAC to a single class share structure of PubCo;

•

to change the authorized capital of PNAC of 20,500,000 shares of Common Stock (20,000,000 shares of PNAC Class A Common Stock, 100,000 shares of PNAC Class B Common Stock and 400,000 shares of PNAC preferred stock) to PubCo’s authorized capital of $50,000 divided into 500,000,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares of a par value of $0.0001 each;

•

to enable appointment of directors of PubCo by Ordinary Resolutions (as defined in the Amended PubCo Charter) or by the directors and to set forth a board of directors of PubCo without a classified board consisting of at least three directors; and

•

to remove the provisions related to PubCo’s status as a blank check company, as these will not be applicable to PubCo upon consummation of the Business Combination.

Proposal No. 3 — the Adjournment Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates to be determined by the chairman of the Special Meeting, is hereby approved in all respects.

Under the Business Combination Agreement, the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Governing Documents Proposal by the requisite vote of PNAC stockholders is a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination. The Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, shall allow the chairman of the Special Meeting to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary. In no event shall PNAC solicit proxies to adjourn the Special Meeting or consummate the Business Combination and related transactions beyond the date by which it may properly do so under PNAC’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation dated May 10, 2022, which was amended by a certificate of amendment dated May 17, 2023 (together with the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the “Existing PNAC Charter”), and Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). The purpose of the Adjournment Proposal is to provide more time to meet the requirements that are necessary to consummate the Business Combination and related transactions. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal set forth in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

These items of business are described in the attached proxy statement/prospectus, which we encourage you to read in its entirety before voting.

Only holders of record of PNAC Common Stock at the close of business on July 13, 2023 are entitled to notice of the meeting and to vote at the meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the meeting.

This proxy statement/prospectus and accompanying proxy card is being provided to PNAC stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the Special Meeting and at any adjournment of the Special Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, all of PNAC’s shareholders are urged to read this proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and the documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 53 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

board of directors’ recommendation of these proposals, you should keep in mind that our directors and our officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a stockholder. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of PNAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a further discussion of these considerations.

Pursuant to the Existing PNAC Charter, a PNAC Public Stockholder may request of PNAC that PNAC redeem all or a portion of its PNAC Public Shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. As a holder of PNAC Public Shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any PNAC Public Shares to be redeemed only if, prior to or on [ ], 2023 (two business days before the Special Meeting), you:

(i) hold PNAC Public Shares;

(ii)

submit a written request to VStock Transfer, LLC (“VStock”), PNAC’s transfer agent, in which you (a) request that PNAC redeem all or a portion of your PNAC Public Shares for cash, and (b) identify yourself as the beneficial holder of the PNAC Public Shares and provide your legal name, phone number and address; and

(iii)

deliver share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms (as applicable) to VStock, PNAC’s transfer agent, physically or electronically through The Depository Trust Company.

PNAC Public Stockholders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their PNAC Public Shares in the manner described above prior to or on [ ], 2023 (two business days before the Special Meeting) in order for their PNAC Public Shares to be redeemed.

For illustrative purposes, as of July 13, 2023, the Record Date, this would have amounted to approximately $10.60 per share less any owed but unpaid taxes on the funds in the Trust Account. There are currently no owed but unpaid income taxes on the funds in the Trust Account. However, the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of PNAC’s creditors, if any, which would have priority over the claims of PNAC stockholders. Therefore, the per share distribution from the Trust Account in such a situation may be less than originally expected due to such claims. It is expected that the funds to be distributed to PNAC Public Stockholders electing to redeem their PNAC Public Shares shall be distributed promptly after the consummation of the Business Combination.

A PNAC Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such holder and any person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), may not seek to have more than 15% of the aggregate shares redeemed without the consent of PNAC. Under the Existing PNAC Charter, the Business Combination may not be consummated if PNAC (or the entity that succeeds PNAC as a public company) has net tangible assets of less than $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon consummation of the Business Combination after taking into account the redemption for cash of all PNAC Public Shares properly demanded to be redeemed by the PNAC Public Stockholders.

Any request for redemption, once made by a PNAC Public Stockholder, may not be withdrawn once submitted to PNAC unless the Board of Directors of PNAC determines (in its sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which it may or may not do in whole or in part).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

forms (as applicable) have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to VStock, at least two business days prior to the vote at the Special Meeting.

If you exercise your redemption rights, then you shall be exchanging your PNAC Public Shares for cash and shall not be entitled to receive any PubCo Ordinary Shares upon consummation of the Business Combination.

The PNAC Initial Stockholders (including the Sponsors, certain PNAC officers, directors and assignees) have, pursuant to the Insider Letter Agreement (as defined in the prospectus of PNAC filed on May 16, 2022), agreed to, among other things, vote all of their PNAC Founder Shares and PNAC Private Shares in favor of the proposals being presented at the Special Meeting and waive its redemption rights with respect to their PNAC Founder Shares and PNAC Private Shares in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the PNAC Initial Stockholders own approximately 29.05% of the issued and outstanding shares of PNAC Common Stock.

The Business Combination Agreement is also subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain other closing conditions as described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. There can be no assurance that the parties to the Business Combination Agreement would waive any such provision of the Business Combination Agreement.

Additionally, the Business Combination may be subject to certain government review, including but not limited to the review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). CFIUS is an interagency committee authorized to review certain transactions involving foreign investment in the United States by foreign persons in order to determine the effect of such transactions on the national security

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of the United States. Whether CFIUS has jurisdiction to review an acquisition or investment transaction depends on, among other factors, the nature and structure of the transaction, including the level of beneficial ownership interest and the nature of any information or governance rights involved.

Among PNAC’s management, Mr. Dongfeng Wang, PNAC’s Chairman and Chief Exeutive Officer, is located in the U.S. and a U.S. permanent resident, and a Hong Kong citizen. Mr. Weixiong (Jeff) Cheong, PNAC’s Chief Operating Officer, is located outside U.S. and a Singapore citizen. Other than Mr. Wang and Mr. Cheong, the rest of our directors and officers are U.S. citizens residencing in the U.S. Both Sponsor A, Prime Number Acquisition LLC, which currently holds 25.03% of PNAC’s outstanding shares, and Sponsor B, Glorious Capital LLC, which currently holds 2.02% of PNAC’s outstanding shares, are owned in part, directly or indirectly, by certain Hong Kong or PRC nationals. As a result, an aggregate of 1,208,541 shares, or 17.46% of PNAC’s outstanding shares are held indirectly by non-U.S. persons or persons with foreign citizenship. PNAC is therefore likely considered a “foreign person” under the regulations administered by CFIUS and will continue to be considered as such in the future for so long as the Sponsors have the ability to exercise control over PNAC for purposes of CFIUS’s regulations. Therefore, it could be subject to foreign ownership restrictions and/or CFIUS review if noco-noco is considered to be engaged in a regulated industry or which may affect national security.

Moreover, the scope of CFIUS review was expanded by the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (“FIRRMA”), to include certain non-passive, non-controlling investments in sensitive U.S. businesses and certain acquisitions of real estate even with no underlying U.S. business. FIRRMA’s implementing regulations, which became effective on February 13, 2020, expanded the scope of CFIUS’s jurisdiction to investments that do not result in control of a U.S. business by a foreign person but afford certain foreign investors certain information or governance rights in a U.S. business that has a nexus to “critical technologies,” “critical infrastructure” and/or “sensitive personal data.” In addition, the implementing regulations also subjects certain categories of investments to mandatory filings. If noco-noco’s business falls within CFIUS’s jurisdiction, PNAC may determine that PNAC is required to make a mandatory filing or that PNAC will submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed with the initial business combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the Business Combination. CFIUS may decide to block or delay the Business Combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to the Business Combination or order us to divest all or a portion of PubCo’s business without first obtaining CFIUS clearance.

As a result of, and upon consummation of the Business Combination, each of PNAC and noco-noco shall become a subsidiary of PubCo, and PubCo shall become a new public company owned by the prior holders of PNAC Common Stock, the prior holders of PNAC Rights, the prior holders of PNAC Warrants, the Sellers, and certain third-party investors of a financing in connection with the Business Combination. PubCo is a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. In addition, noco-noco’s businesses are substantially based in Singapore, with projects and operations in Australia and PNG, and potentially, in Philippines, Indonesia, India, or Thailand in the near future. As a result, PNAC does not expect the Business Combination to result in “control” of a “U.S. business” by a “foreign person.” under the regulations administered by CFIUS. Additionally, it does not expect the business of PNAC to be deemed to have a nexus to “critical technologies,” “covered investment critical infrastructure,” and/or “sensitive personal data” under the regulations administered by CFIUS. Notwithstanding the above, if our determination is not correct, or if the regulations change or are interpreted differently in the future, the Business Combination may be subject to CFIUS review or review by another U.S. governmental entity and ultimately prohibited. Even if it not prohibited, any review by CFIUS or another government entity may have outsized impacts on, among other things, the certainty, timing and feasibility of the Business Combination, which would significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to complete the Business Combination and force PNAC to liquidate and our warrants to expire worthless, preventing the possibility of any price appreciation that may have occurred in our securities following the Business Combination.

The process of government review, whether by the CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy and PNAC has limited time to complete the Business Combination. Pursuant to Existing PNAC Charter, we have until August 17, 2023 to consummate the Business Combination (or November 17, 2023). If PNAC cannot complete the Business Combination by November 17, 2023 (assuming full extension) because the review process drags on beyond such timeframe or because the Business Combination is ultimately prohibited by

TABLE OF CONTENTS

CFIUS or another U.S. government entity, it may be required to liquidate. If PNAC liquidates, its Public Stockholders may only receive $10.20 per share, and its warrants and rights will expire worthless. This will also cause you to lose the investment opportunity in noco-noco or another target company and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company. For more information, see “Risk Factors — Risks related to PNAC and the Business Combination — We may not be able to complete the Business Combination if it is subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations and review by a U.S. government entity such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), or ultimately prohibited.”

All PNAC stockholders are cordially invited to attend the Special Meeting. To ensure your representation at the Special Meeting, however, you are urged to complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card as soon as possible by following the instructions provided in this proxy statement/prospectus and on the enclosed proxy card. If you are a stockholder of record of PNAC Common Stock, you may also cast your vote by means of remote communication at the Special Meeting by navigating to [ ] and entering the control number on your proxy card. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must instruct your broker or bank on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the Special Meeting and vote by means of remote communication you must obtain a proxy from your broker or bank and a control number from Advantage Proxy, Inc.

Thank you for your participation. We look forward to your continued support.

By Order of the Board of Directors

Dongfeng Wang
Chairman

If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted FOR each of the proposals presented at the Special Meeting. If you fail to return your proxy card or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote, and do not attend the Special Meeting in person or virtually, the effect will be, among other things, that your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Special Meeting and will not be voted. An abstention or broker non-vote will be counted towards the quorum requirement but will not count as a vote cast at the Special Meeting. If you are a stockholder of record and you attend the Special Meeting and wish to vote in person or virtually, you may withdraw your proxy and vote in person.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

noco-noco is a development-stage manufacturer of carbon-zero electric vehicle battery technologies. Through the research and development of multilayer battery separator and by providing sustainable mobility services for people and goods, noco-noco aims to address the need for energy to customers driven to carbon-zero.

Based on its due diligence investigations of noco-noco and the industries in which it operates, including the financial and other information provided by noco-noco in the course of PNAC’s due diligence investigations, the PNAC Board believes that the Business Combination with noco-noco is in the best interests of PNAC and presents an opportunity to increase stockholder equity value. However, there can be no assurances of this. Although the PNAC Board believes that the Business Combination with noco-noco presents a unique business combination opportunity and is in the best interests of PNAC, the PNAC Board did consider certain potentially material negative factors in arriving at that conclusion. See “The Business Combination Proposal — PNAC Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination” for a discussion of the factors considered by the PNAC Board in making its decision.

Did the PNAC Board obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination?

No. The PNAC Board did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with its determination to approve the Business Combination. Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of the PNAC Board in valuing noco-noco’s business and assume the risk that the PNAC Board may not have properly valued such business.

What is expected to happen in the Business Combination?

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement have agreed that, in connection with the Closing, the parties shall undertake a series of transactions pursuant to which (i) Merger Sub shall merge with and into PNAC, with PNAC being the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo and (ii) following the Merger, New SubCo shall acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of noco-noco from the shareholders of noco-noco, or the Sellers, in exchange for PubCo to issue to the Sellers PubCo Ordinary Shares. The merger described in (i) is referred to as the “Merger”, and the share exchange described in (ii) is referred to as the “Share Exchange.” The Merger, the Share Exchange and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are referred to as the “Business Combination.”

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, (i) each PNAC unit (“PNAC Unit”) issued and outstanding issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger shall be automatically detached and the holder thereof shall be deemed to hold one share of PNAC Class A Common Stock (defined below), one-half of PNAC Warrant (defined below), and one PNAC Right (defined below); (ii) each share of PNAC Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“PNAC Class A Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (as defined herein) shall be canceled in exchange for the right to receive one PubCo Ordinary Share, (iii) each PNAC warrant (“PNAC Warrant”) outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger shall cease to be a warrant with respect to PNAC Common Stock and shall be assumed by PubCo and converted into a warrant of PubCo to purchase one PubCo Ordinary Share, subject to substantially the same terms and conditions prior to the effective time of the Merger; and (iv) each PNAC Right (“PNAC Right”) outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive one-eighth (1/8) of one PubCo Ordinary Share.

In addition, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, upon the consummation of the Business Combination (i) New SubCo shall acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of noco-noco (“noco-noco Shares”) from the Sellers, (ii) in exchange, each Seller shall receive such number of a newly issued PubCo Ordinary Shares that is equal to the product of (a) the quotient of (i) $1,350,000,000 (the “noco-noco Valuation”), divided by (ii) the price per PubCo Ordinary Share that equals to the redemption price of each share of PNAC Class A Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination (the “PubCo Per Share Price”), multiplied by (b) such Seller’s Pro Rata Portion as set out in the Allocation Schedule of the Business Combination Agreement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

For more information on the Merger and the Share Exchange, see the sections titled “The Business Combination Proposal,” “The Business Combination Proposal — General Description of the Business Combination Transactions — The Merger” and “The Business Combination Proposal — General Description of the Business Combination Transactions — The Share Exchange.”

Is there any financing in connection with the Business Combination?

What shall be the relative equity stakes of PNAC stockholders, and the Sellers in PubCo upon completion of the Business Combination?

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, PubCo shall become a new public company and each of noco-noco and PNAC shall be a subsidiary of PubCo. The former security holders of PNAC and noco-noco shall all become security holders of PubCo.

The equity stake held by holders of non-redeeming PNAC Public Stockholders, the Sellers, and the PNAC Initial Stockholders in PubCo immediately following consummation of the Business Combination will depend on the number of redemptions from the Trust Account by PNAC Public Stockholders at the Closing as well as various other factors, as described in the assumptions set forth below. Approximate equity stakes for each of these stockholder groups upon consummation of the Business Combination and the Transaction Financing, and their corresponding approximate collective voting power in PubCo, are set forth in the table below in respect of three redemption scenarios: (1) “Scenario A,” in which there are no redemptions of PNAC Public Shares; (2) “Scenario B,” in which 25% of the PNAC Public Shares as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus are redeemed; (3) “Scenario C,” in which 75% of the PNAC Public Shares as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus are redeemed; and (4) “Scenario D,” in which there are maximum redemptions from the Trust Account. For further information on what constitutes a “maximum redemptions” scenario, please see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.” All else being equal, if any PNAC Public Stockholders exercise their redemption rights, then the percentage of PubCo Ordinary Shares held collectively by all non-redeeming PNAC Public Stockholders and the PNAC Initial Stockholders will decrease and the percentage of PubCo Ordinary Shares held collectively by the investors in the Transaction Financing, the Sellers, will increase, in each case, relative to the percentage held if no PNAC Public Shares are redeemed.

PNAC consummated its initial public offering on May 17, 2022, with 6,450,000 shares of PNAC Common Stock sold. On May 22, 2023, as a result of redemption requests by PNAC Public Stockholders in connection with a PNAC special stockholder meeting, 1,537,701 PNAC Public Shares were cancelled, resulting in 4,912,299 PNAC Public Shares issueed and outstanding as the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. The table set forth below also states the anticipated pro forma equity value of PubCo for each of the scenarios described above. These pro forma equity values reflect a PubCo Per Share Price of $10.60 based on the estimated redemption price of $10.60 per share as of the Record Date in accordance with the trust asset value of $52,091,186 as of the Record Date (after $50,000 deducted for liquidation expenses). The PubCo Per Share Price is the price per share negotiated with noco-noco and set forth in the Business Combination Agreement for certain PubCo Ordinary Shares to be issued to the Sellers (assuming that all shareholders of noco-noco participating in the Share Exchange, being approximately 127,358,491 PubCo Ordinary Shares, or $1,350,000,000 in noco-noco Valuation, based on the redemption price of $10.60 per share as of Record Date). The number of PNAC Public Shares redeemed by PNAC Public Stockholders with cash from the Trust Account at the Merger Closing is not, all else being equal, expected to materially affect the equity value per share of PNAC Public Shares held by non-redeeming PNAC Public Stockholders as at the time immediately following the Closing, as each redemption will result in (x) the cancellation of one PNAC Public Share, and (y) the payment of approximately $10.60 per share to the redeeming Public Stockholder (given that, based on funds in the Trust Account of $52,091,186 as of the Record Date (after $50,000 deducted for liquidation expenses),

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.60 per share) and, accordingly, such funds will not be available to the Combined Company or reflected in its financial statements following the Closing. You should note, however, that the level of redemptions of PNAC Public Shares from our Trust Account may affect the market price for PubCo Ordinary Shares following the Closing in ways which we cannot predict. For further information, please refer to the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Redemption of PNAC Common Stock — There is no guarantee that a shareholder’s decision whether to redeem its shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account will put the shareholder in a better future economic position.”

Excluding effect of any “potential sources of dilution” as set forth in the table, which are subject to certain conditions being satisfied, as set forth in this section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal-Summary of the Business Combination Agreement.”

PNAC stockholders will experience additional dilution to the extent PubCo issues additional shares after the Closing. The table below shows possible sources of dilution and the extent of such dilution that

TABLE OF CONTENTS

non-redeeming PNAC Public Stockholder could experience in connection with the Closing of the Business Combination. In an effort to illustrate the extent of such dilution, the table below includes (i) the issuance of up to 300,000 Working Capital Shares to the Sponsors or their affiliates or designees, assuming the holders of working capital promissory notes select to convert the working capital promissory notes into Working Capital Shares, (ii) the PubCo Ordinary Shares that will be reserved for issuance under the PubCo Share Incentive Plan (the “PubCo Incentive Plan”), which will initially be equal to 5% of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares as of the Closing, and (iii) up to 3,225,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares underlying PubCo warrants.

Under PubCo Incentive Plan, the maximum number of PubCo Ordinary Shares that may be issued under the PubCo Incentive Plan from time to time is five percent (5%) of the fully diluted share capital of PubCo as of the date of determination. The maximum aggregate number of PubCo Ordinary Shares which may be subject to awards under the PubCo Incentive Plan initially shall be an aggregate number equal to 6,961,159. The aggregate number of PubCo Ordinary Shares reserved for awards under the PubCo Incentive Plan will automatically increase on July 1 of each year, for a period of not more than ten (10) years, commencing on July 1 of the year following the year in which the effective date occurs and ending on (and including) July 1, 2033, in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the total number of PubCo Ordinary Shares outstanding on June 30 of the preceding calendar year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, our board may act prior to July 1 of a given year to provide that there will be no July 1 increase for such year or that the increase for such year will be a lesser number of PubCo Ordinary Shares than provided in the PubCo Incentive Plan. For more information, see the section in this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Management of PubCo Following the Business Combination — Share incentive Plan.”

In addition, the Sponsors, directors and officers may loan PNAC fund to support the operation of PNAC and pay for fees and expenses to consummate the Business Combination, or to extend the time that PNAC needs to complete the Business Combination. Up to $3,000,000 of such working capital loans and extension loans may be convertible into working capital shares, at a price of $10.00 per share at the option of the lender. Such working capital shares would be identical to the private shares sold in the private placement.

The numbers set forth in this column assume that all 4,912,299 PNAC Public Shares, or 100% of 4,912,299 PNAC Public Shares are redeemed at $10.60 per share.

How will the effective rate of underwriting discounts and commissions paid on capital raised in PNAC’s initial public offering and retained after the Business Combination be affected by redemptions?

PNAC sold 6,450,000 shares of PNAC Common Stock in its initial public offering, with investors paying $10.00 per PNAC Share, representing gross initial public offering proceeds of $64,500,000. The underwriters in the initial public offering received $1,290,000 upon completion of the initial public offering and will receive an additional $2,257,500 upon consummation of the Business Combination, resulting in a 5.5% rate of underwriting discounts and commissions, which represents the underwriters’ total underwriting discounts and commissions as a percentage of gross initial public offering proceeds. On May 22, 2023, as a result of redemption requests by PNAC Public Stockholders in connection with a PNAC special stockholder meeting, 1,537,701 PNAC Public Shares were cancelled, resulting in 4,912,299 PNAC Public Shares issueed and outstanding as the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. To the extent there are further redemptions, the effective rate of underwriting discounts and commissions paid by PNAC and borne indirectly by its non-redeeming stockholders will be higher after taking into account proceeds used to redeem the shares of redeeming stockholders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What are the U.S. Federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination to U.S. holders of PNAC Common Stock?

Certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to you in respect of the Business Combination are discussed in more detail in the section titled “Material Tax Considerations — United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.” The discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences contained in this proxy statement/prospectus is intended to provide only a general discussion and is not a complete analysis or description of all of the U.S. federal income tax considerations that are applicable to you in respect of the Business Combination, nor does it address any tax considerations arising under U.S. state or local or non-U.S. tax laws.

How many votes do I have at the Special Meeting?

PNAC stockholders are entitled to one vote at the Special Meeting for each PNAC Share held of record as of July 13, 2023, the record date for the Special Meeting (the “Record Date”). As of the close of business on the Record Date, there were 8,461,392 shares of PNAC Common Stock outstanding.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What vote is required to approve the proposals presented at the Special Meeting?

The following votes are required for each proposal at the Special Meeting:

•

Business Combination Proposal — The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of PNAC Common Stock cast, in person (including virtual presence) or by proxy, in respect of the Business Combination Proposal and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting.

•

Governing Documents Proposal — The approval of the Governing Documents Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of PNAC Common Stock cast, in person (including virtually presence) or by proxy, in respect of the Governing Documents Proposal and vote thereupon at the Special Meeting.

•

Adjournment Proposal — The approval of the Adjournment Proposal will require the consent of the meeting, which means a simple majority of the votes which are cast by those stockholders of PNAC who are present, in person or by proxy, and vote thereupon at the Special Meeting.

For purposes of the Special Meeting, an abstention occurs when a shareholder attends the meeting and does not vote or returns a proxy with an “abstain” vote.

If you are a PNAC stockholder that attends the Special Meeting and fails to vote on the Business Combination, Governing Documents or Adjournment Proposals, or if you respond to such proposals with an “abstain” vote, your failure to vote or “abstain” vote in each case will have no effect on the vote count for such proposals.

What constitutes a quorum at the Special Meeting?

A quorum shall be present at the Special Meeting if the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of PNAC Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting are present in person or by proxy. If a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the Special Meeting to commence, the meeting shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and/or place or to such other day, time and/or place as the directors of PNAC may determine.

As of the Record Date, 3,461,846 shares of PNAC Common Stock would be required to achieve a quorum.

How do the insiders of PNAC intend to vote on the proposals?

The Sponsors and certain directors and advisors and affiliates of PNAC to whom the Sponsors transferred PNAC Common Stock beneficially own and are entitled to vote an aggregate of approximately 29.05% of the outstanding shares of PNAC Common Stock. These parties are required by certain agreements to vote their securities in favor of the Business Combination Proposal, in favor of the Governing Documents Proposal and in favor of the Adjournment Proposal, if presented at the meeting. As a result, in addition to shares held by these parties, (i) assuming all shares of PNAC Common Stock are voted, PNAC would need at least approximately 29.53% of the outstanding shares of PNAC Common Stock to vote in favor to have the Business Combination Proposal approved, and at least approximately 29.53% of the outstanding shares of PNAC Common Stock to vote in favor to have the Governing Documents Proposal approved; and (ii) assuming only the minimum number of shares of PNAC Common Stock representing a quorum are voted, PNAC would not need any of the outstanding shares of PNAC Common Stock to vote in favor to have the Business Combination Proposal approved, and would not need any of the outstanding shares of PNAC Common Stock to vote in favor have the Governing Documents Proposal approved.

What interests do PNAC’s Directors and Officers have in the Business Combination?

When considering PNAC Board’s recommendation to vote in favor of approving the Business Combination Proposal and the Governing Documents Proposal, PNAC stockholders should keep in mind that the Sponsors and PNAC’s directors and executive officers, have interests in such proposals that are different from, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), those of PNAC stockholders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

•

the beneficial ownership by the Sponsors of an aggregate of 1,474,000 Founder Shares and 398,892 Private Shares, which would become worthless if PNAC does not complete a business combination within the applicable time period, as the Sponsor has waived any right to redemption with respect to these shares. The Sponsors paid an aggregate of approximately $25,000, or $0.017 per share, for the Founders Shares and $3,988,920, or $10.00 per share, for the Private Shares. Such shares of PNAC Class A Common Stock held by the Sponsors have an aggregate market value of approximately $19,777,739.5, based on the closing price of PNAC Class A Common Stock on the Record Date, resulting in a theoretical gain of $15,763,819.5 (or $8.42 per share);

•

Mr. Dongfeng Wang, PNAC’S Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is the manager of Prime Number Acquisition LLC, a Sponsor of PNAC, and as such may be deemed to have sole voting and investment discretion with respect to the shares of PNAC Class A Common Stock held by Prime Number Acquisition LLC, including 1,383,700 Founder Shares and 349,032 Private Shares as described above. In addition, Mr. Wang directly holds 45,000 Founder Shares, which would become worthless if PNAC does not complete a business combination within the applicable time period, as Mr. Wang has waived any right to redemption with respect to these shares. For the shares directly held by Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang paid an aggregate of approximately $652.174, or $0.017 per share, for the Founders Shares. Such shares of PNAC Class A Common Stock directly held by Mr. Wang have an aggregate market value of approximately $475,200, based on the closing price of PNAC Class A Common Stock on the Record Date, resulting in a theoretical gain of $474,547.826 (or $10.55 per share). Such shares of PNAC Class A Common Stock held by Prime Number Acquisition LLC have an aggregate market value of approximately $18,296,649.9, based on the closing price of PNAC Class A Common Stock on the Record Date, resulting in a theoretical gain of $14,783,861.4 (or $8.53 per share);

•

Mr. David Friedman, PNAC’S Chief Financial Officer and director, directly holds 30,000 Founder Shares, which would become worthless if PNAC does not complete a business combination within the applicable time period, as Mr. Friedman has waived any right to redemption with respect to these shares. For the shares directly held by Mr. Friedman, Mr. Friedman paid an aggregate of approximately $434.783, or $0.017 per share, for the Founders Shares. Such shares of PNAC Class A Common Stock directly held by Mr. Friedman have an aggregate market value of approximately $316,800, based on the closing price of PNAC Class A Common Stock on the Record Date, resulting in a theoretical gain of $316,365.217 (or $10.55 per share);

•

Mr. Weixong (Jeff) Cheong, PNAC’S Chief Operating Officer, is the sole director and member of DBG Global Limited. DBG Global Limited is a member of Prime Number Acquisition LLC, a Sponsor of PNAC, and Mr. Cheong, as the sole director and member of DBG Global Limited, may be deemed to have beneficial ownership over 447,561 shares of PNAC Class A Common Stock for which Prime Number Acquisition LLC is the record holder, including 336,565 Founder Shares and 110,996 Private Shares. Such shares of PNAC Class A Common Stock would become worthless if PNAC does not complete a business combination within the applicable time period, as Prime Number Acquisition LLC has waived any right to redemption with respect to these shares. Such shares of PNAC Class A Common Stock held by Prime Number Acquisition LLC have an aggregate market value of approximately $4,726,244.16, based on the closing price of PNAC Class A Common Stock on the Record Date, resulting in a theoretical gain of $3,610,575.8 (or $8.07 per share). Additionally, Mr. Cheong has a pre-exisitng business relationship with 3DOM Alliance in BINEX RTO, as a result of which, he was introduced to the opportunity to consummate the Business Combination with noco-noco. Mr. Cheong is not entitled to additional compensation or economic interests from PNAC or noco-noco for such introduction or for the completion of the Business Combination, see “Background of the Business Combination — Timeline of the Business Combination on page 127 for more details;

•

TABLE OF CONTENTS

15,000 Founder Shares. Such 15,000 Founder Shares held by each independent director have an aggregate market value of approximately $158,400, based on the closing price of PNAC Class A Common Stock on the Record Date, resulting in a theoretical gain of $158,182.609 (or $10.55 per share);

•

in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, the Sponsors, affiliates of the Sponsors, PNAC’s directors and officers, may, but are not obligated to, loan PNAC funds as may be required. Additionally, if we extend the time available to us to complete our business combination, our Sponsors, their affiliates or designee may deposit $645,000, for each three-month extension for up to two times to extend the time for us to complete our business combination. If PNAC completes the Business Combination, PNAC would repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to PNAC. Otherwise, such loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that the Business Combination does not close, PNAC may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay such loaned amounts. Up to $3,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into the Working Capital Shares, at a price of $10.00 per share at the option of the lender. As of the date hereof, PNAC had no outstanding balance under the working capital loans as evidenced by the Notes accordingly. In the event that PNAC fails to complete a business combination by August 17, 2023 (or November 17, 2023, if extended), it is uncertain if PNAC has sufficient working capital held outside the Trust Account to fully repay any outstanding loans, and the Sponsors may be eventually held liable for PNAC’s liabilities pursuant to its certain indemnification obligations;

•

the fact that the PNAC Initial Stockholders (including the Sponsors, certain PNAC officers and directors) have agreed not to redeem any PNAC Founder Shares and PNAC Private Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve the proposed Business Combination;

•

the fact that given the very low purchase price (of $25,000 in aggregate) that the PNAC Initial Stockholders paid for the PNAC Founder Shares as compared to the price of the PNAC Common Stock sold in PNAC IPO, the PNAC Initial Stockholders may earn a positive rate of return on their investment even if the PubCo Ordinary Shares trade below the price initially paid for the PNAC Common Stock in the PNAC IPO and the PNAC Public Stockholder may experience a negative rate of return following the completion of the Business Combination;

•

the fact that the PNAC Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any PNAC Founder Shares and PNAC Private Shares held by them if PNAC fails to complete an initial business combination by the Final Redemption Date. As a result of waiving liquidating distributions, if PNAC fails to complete an initial business combination by the Final Redemption Date, the Sponsors would lose $3,988,920 for the purchase of PNAC Private Shares, and the PNAC Initial Stockholders would lose $25,000 for the purchase of the PNAC Founder Shares, and thus they (other than the PNAC Initial Stockholders that acquired the PNAC Founder Shares for nominal consideration) would incur substantial loss of investment and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses;

•

the fact that the PNAC Initial Stockholders may be incentivized to complete the Business Combination, or an alternative initial business combination with a less favorable company or on terms less favorable to stockholders, rather than to liquidate, in which case the PNAC Initial Stockholders would lose their entire investment. As a result, the PNAC Initial Stockholders may have a conflict of interest in determining whether noco-noco is an appropriate business with which to effectuate a business combination and/or in evaluating the terms of the Business Combination;

•

the fact that pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the PNAC Initial Stockholders can demand that PubCo register its registrable securities under certain circumstances and will also have piggyback registration rights for these securities in connection with certain registrations of securities that PubCo undertakes;

•

the continued indemnification of PNAC’s directors and officers and the continuation of PNAC’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination (i.e. a “tail policy”);

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

the fact that if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event PNAC is unable to complete an initial business combination by the Final Redemption Date, the Sponsors have agreed to indemnify PNAC to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.20 per public share, or such lesser per public share amount as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which PNAC has entered into a letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or a business combination agreement or claims of any third party for services rendered or products sold to PNAC, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account; and

•

the fact that the PNAC Initial Stockholders, are, or may in the future become, affiliated with entities that are engaged in a similar business to PNAC. The PNAC Initial Stockholders are not prohibited from sponsoring, or otherwise becoming involved with, any other blank check companies prior to completing the Business Combination. Accordingly, if any of PNAC’s officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity that is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such Business Combination opportunity to such entity, subject to their fiduciary duties under DGCL. In addition, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, the Existing PNAC Charter waives certain applications of the doctrine of corporate opportunity in some circumstances where the application of any such doctrine would conflict with any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations they may have as of the date of the Existing PNAC Charter or in the future, and PNAC will renounce any expectancy that any of the directors or officers of PNAC will offer any such corporate opportunity of which he or she may become aware to PNAC. PNAC does not believe that the pre-existing fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of its officers and directors materially impacted its search for an acquisition target. Further, PNAC does not believe that the waiver of the application of the corporate opportunity doctrine in the Existing PNAC Charter had any impact on its search for a potential business combination target.

May the Sponsors or PNAC’s directors, officers or advisors, or their affiliates, purchase shares in connection with the Business Combination, or enter into agreements or transactions with investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire PNAC Public Shares or vote their PNAC Public Shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal or Governing Documents Proposal?

In connection with the stockholder vote to approve the proposed Business Combination, the Sponsors and PNAC’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may privately negotiate transactions to purchase shares prior to the Closing from stockholders who would have otherwise elected to have their shares redeemed for cash in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules for a per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. None of the Sponsors, directors, officers or advisors, or their respective affiliates, will make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller of such shares. In addition, the Sponsors and PNAC’s directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may enter into agreements or transactions with certain investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire PNAC Public Shares or vote their PNAC Public Shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal or Governing Documents Proposal. Any purchases, agreements or transactions as provided in the foregoing would include a contractual acknowledgement that such stockholder, although still the record holder of such shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsors, directors, officers or advisors, or their affiliates, purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from PNAC Public Stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares for cash.

As of the date of this proxy/prospectus, the Sponsors, PNAC’s directors, officers and advisors, and their affiliates, have not made any purchases of shares and/or warrants from investors, or have agreed to any agreements or transactions with any investors or others to provide such investors or others with incentives to acquire PNAC Public Shares or vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal or Governing Documents Proposal. If the Sponsor, PNAC’s directors, officers or advisors, or their affiliates, enter into any such arrangements:

•

any such purchases of securities would be made at a price no higher than the redemption price;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

shares acquired in such transactions (i) would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination and (ii) holders of such shares would waive their right to redemption rights with respect to such shares; and

•

PNAC will disclose in a Current Report on Form 8-K prior to the Special Meeting the following information:

•

the amount of securities purchased in such transaction(s), along with the purchase price;

•

the purpose of such purchases;

•

the impact, if any, of the purchases on the likelihood that the Business Combination will be approved;

•

the identities of security holders who sold such shares (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of security holders (e.g. 5% security holders) who sold such shares; and

•

the number of securities for which PNAC has received redemption requests pursuant to its redemption offer.

The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood that the proposals presented for approval at the Special Meeting are approved. Any such purchases of public shares and other transactions may thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining the necessary approval of PNAC’s stockholders. This may result in the completion of the Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible. While the exact nature of any incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of shares or rights owned by the Sponsors for nominal value. Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on PANC Public Shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares it owns, either prior to or immediately after the Special Meeting. If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be approved in circumstances where such approval could not otherwise be obtained. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no agreements to such effect have been entered into with any such investor or holder.

I am a PNAC Public Stockholder. Do I have redemption rights?

Yes. Pursuant to the Existing PNAC Charter, in connection with the completion of the Business Combination, PNAC Public Stockholders may elect to have their PNAC Pubic Shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share calculated in accordance with the Existing PNAC Charter. For illustrative purposes, as of July 13, 2023, the Record Date, this would have amounted to approximately $10.60 per share less any owed but unpaid taxes on the funds in the Trust Account. There are currently no owed but unpaid income taxes on the funds in the Trust Account. However, the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of PNAC’s creditors, if any, which would have priority over the claims of PNAC stockholders. Therefore, the per share distribution from the Trust Account in such a situation may be less than originally expected due to such claims. It is expected that the funds to be distributed to PNAC Public Stockholders electing to redeem their shares shall be distributed promptly after the consummation of the Business Combination. If a PNAC Public Stockholder exercises its redemption rights, then such holder shall be exchanging its PNAC Public Shares for cash. Such a PNAC Public Stockholder shall be entitled to receive cash for its PNAC Public Shares only if it properly demands redemption and delivers its shares (either physically or electronically) to PNAC’s transfer agent, VStock, two business days prior to the Special Meeting. A PNAC Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such holder and any person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), may not seek to have more than 15% of the aggregate shares redeemed without the consent of PNAC. The Existing PNAC Charter provide that the Business Combination shall not be consummated

TABLE OF CONTENTS

if, upon the consummation of the Business Combination, PubCo (as the entity that succeeds PNAC as a public company) does not have at least $5,000,001 in net tangible assets after giving effect to the payment of amounts that PNAC shall be required to pay to redeeming shareholders upon consummation of the Business Combination. See the section titled “Special Meeting of PNAC stockholders — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your shares for cash.

If I am a holder of the PNAC Units, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my PNAC Units?

No. You can only exercise redemption rights with respect to your PNAC Public Shares. Holders of outstanding PNAC Units must separate the underlying PNAC Class A Common Stock, PNAC Warrants and PNAC Rights prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the PNAC Public Shares. If you hold PNAC Units registered in your own name, you must deliver the certificate for such units to VStock, our transfer agent, with written instructions to separate such units into PNAC Public Shares, PNAC Warrants and PNAC Rights. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit the mailing of the PNAC Public Share certificates back to you so that you may then exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the PNAC Public Shares from the PNAC Units. See “How do I exercise my redemption rights?” below. The address of VStock is listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

If a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee holds your PNAC Units, you must instruct such nominee to separate your PNAC Units. Your nominee must send written instructions to VStock, our transfer agent. Such written instructions must include the number of PNAC Units to be separated and the nominee holding such PNAC Units. Your nominee must also initiate electronically, using DTC’s deposit/withdrawal at custodian (DWAC) system, a withdrawal of the relevant PNAC Units and a deposit of relevant number of PNAC Public Shares and PNAC Warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit your nominee to exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the PNAC Public Shares from the PNAC Units. While this is typically completed electronically the same business day, you should allow at least one full business day to accomplish the separation. If you fail to cause your PNAC Public Shares to be separated from your PNAC Units in a timely manner, you will likely not be able to exercise your redemption rights.

If I am a holder of the PNAC Rights, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my PNAC Rights?

No. The holders of PNAC Rights have no redemption rights with respect to the PNAC Rights.

If I am a holder of the PNAC Warrants, whether, when and how will PNAC exercise its redemption rights with respect to my PNAC Warrants?

PNAC has the ability to redeem outstanding PNAC Warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the last reported sales price of PNAC Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $16.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which PNAC gives proper notice of such redemption and provided certain other conditions are met. The warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination or 12 months from the closing of this offering, and will expire five years after the completion of our initial business combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation, as described in this prospectus. As a result, even if PNAC Class A Common Stock trading price exceeds the $16.50 per share threshold, we are not allowed to redeem public warrants before the Closing and until the warrants become exercisable.

Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, by PNAC not less than 30 days prior to the date that fixed by PNAC for the redemption to the registered holders of the PNAC Warrants to be redeemed at their last addresses as they shall appear on the registration books. Any notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the registered holder received such notice. PNAC will not redeem the PNAC Warrants unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of PNAC Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the PNAC Warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of PNAC Class A Common Stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period, except if the PNAC Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt

TABLE OF CONTENTS

from registration under the Securities Act. If and when the PNAC Warrants become redeemable by PNAC, PNAC may exercise its redemption right even if PNAC is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. If PNAC elect to redeem the PNAC Warrants on a cashless basis, then PNAC will not receive any cash proceeds from the exercise of such PNAC Warrants. See “Risk Factors — PNAC may redeem the unexpired PNAC Warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your PNAC Warrants worthless.”

Will how I vote affect my ability to exercise redemption rights?

No. You may exercise your redemption rights regardless of whether you vote or, if you vote, irrespective of whether you vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal, the Governing Documents Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal. As a result, the Business Combination Agreement can be approved by shareholders who shall redeem their shares and no longer remain shareholders, leaving shareholders who choose not to redeem their shares holding shares in a company with a potentially less liquid trading market for its stock, fewer shareholders and the potential inability to meet the Nasdaq listing standards. See also “What shall be the relative equity stakes of PNAC stockholders, and the Sellers in PubCo upon completion of the Business Combination?”

How do I exercise my redemption rights?

If you are a PNAC Public Stockholder and wish to exercise your right to have your PNAC Public Shares redeemed, you must:

•

submit a written request to VStock, PNAC’s transfer agent, in which you (i) request that PNAC redeem all or a portion of your PNAC Common Stock for cash and (ii) identify yourself as the beneficial holder of the PNAC Common Stock and provide your legal name, phone number and address; and

•

deliver your share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms (as applicable) to VStock, PNAC’s transfer agent, physically or electronically through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).

PNAC Public Stockholders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their shares in the manner described above prior to or on, 2023, two business days before the scheduled Special Meeting in order for their shares to be redeemed.

The address of VStock, PNAC’s transfer agent, is listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

If a PNAC Public Stockholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the PNAC Public Shares that it holds and timely delivers its share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms (as applicable) to VStock, PNAC will redeem such PNAC Public Shares for a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to PNAC. For illustrative purposes, as of July 13, 2023, the Record Date, this would have amounted to approximately $10.60 per share less any owed but unpaid taxes on the funds in the Trust Account. There are currently no owed but unpaid income taxes on the funds in the Trust Account. However, the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of PNAC’s creditors, if any, which would have priority over the claims of PNAC stockholders. Therefore, the per share distribution from the Trust Account in such a situation may be less than originally expected due to such claims. It is expected that the funds to be distributed to PNAC stockholders electing to redeem their shares shall be distributed promptly after the consummation of the Business Combination.

A holder of PNAC Common Stock, together with any affiliate of such holder and any person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), may not seek to have more than 15% of the aggregate shares redeemed without the consent of PNAC. Under the Existing PNAC Charter, the Business Combination may not be consummated if PubCo (as the entity that succeeds PNAC as a public company) has net tangible assets of less than $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon consummation of the Business Combination after taking

TABLE OF CONTENTS

into account the redemption for cash of all PNAC Public Shares properly demanded to be redeemed by holders of PNAC Common Stock.

Any request for redemption, once made by a holder of shares, may not be withdrawn once submitted to PNAC unless the PNAC Board determines (in its sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which it may or may not do in whole or in part).

Any corrected or changed written exercise of redemption rights must be received by VStock, PNAC’s transfer agent, prior to the vote taken on the Business Combination Proposal at the Special Meeting. No request for redemption shall be honored unless the holder’s share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms (as applicable) have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to VStock, at least two business days prior to the vote at the Special Meeting.

PNAC shareholders holding both PNAC Class A Common Stock and PNAC Warrants may redeem their PNAC Class A Common Stock but retain the PNAC Warrants, which, if the Business Combination closes, will become PubCo Warrants. The cost of those retained warrants is borne by PubCo and the non-redeeming shareholders. Assuming that 100% of the PNAC Public Shares held by PNAC Public Stockholders were to be redeemed, the 3,225,000 retained outstanding PNAC Warrants, which will be automatically and irrevocably assigned to, and assumed by, PubCo following the Closing of the Business Combination, would have an aggregate value of $161,250, based on a price per PNAC Warrants of $0.05 on July 13, 2023, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, on July 13, 2023, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the price per share of PNAC Class A Common Stock closed at $10.56. If PNAC Class A Common Stock are trading above the exercise price of $11.50 per warrant, the PubCo Warrants are considered to be “in the money” and are therefore more likely to be exercised by the holders thereof (when they become exercisable 30 days following the Closing of the Business Combination) and this in turn increases the risk to non-redeeming shareholders that the PubCo Warrants will be exercised, which would result in immediate dilution to the non-redeeming shareholders.

In addition, once the PubCo Warrants become exercisable, PubCo may redeem the outstanding PubCo Warrants at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon a minimum number of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, and if the last sales price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $16.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending three business days before PubCo sends the notice of redemption. For context, as of the close of trading on July 13, 2023 (the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus), the trading price of PNAC Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq was $10.56, and the highest and lowest closing price of the PNAC Class A Common Stock during the prior three months was $10.60 and $10.39, respectively. Once PubCo Warrants become exercisable after 30 days following the consummation of the Business Combination and PubCo calls for the force redemption once the conditions are met, redemption of the outstanding PubCo Warrants could force holders (i) to exercise their PubCo Warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for them to do so, (ii) to sell PubCo Warrants at the then-current market price when they might otherwise wish to hold PubCo Warrants or (iii) to accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding PubCo Warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of the PubCo Warrants.

If you exercise your redemption rights, then you shall be exchanging your PNAC Common Stock share certificates (if any) for cash and shall not be entitled to PubCo Ordinary Shares upon consummation of the Business Combination.

See the section titled “Special Meeting of PNAC stockholders — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your shares for cash.

What happens if a substantial number of PNAC stockholders vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the Governing Documents Proposal and exercise their redemption rights?

PNAC stockholders may vote in favor of the Business Combination and the Governing Documents Proposal and exercise their redemption rights. Accordingly, the Business Combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the Trust Account and the number of PNAC stockholders are substantially reduced as a result of redemption by PNAC stockholders. The Existing

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PNAC Charter provides that the Business Combination shall not be consummated if, upon the consummation of the Business Combination, PubCo (as the entity that succeeds PNAC as a public company) does not have at least $5,000,001 in net tangible assets after giving effect to the payment of amounts that PNAC shall be required to pay to redeeming shareholders upon consummation of the Business Combination. However, pursuant to the Insider Letter Agreement (as defined in the prospectus of PNAC filed on May 16, 2022), each of the Sponsors and certain other directors and officers of the Sponsors has agreed not to redeem such person’s shares. In the event of significant redemptions, with fewer shares and fewer PNAC stockholders, the trading market for PubCo Ordinary Shares may be less liquid than the market for PNAC Common Stock was prior to the Business Combination. In addition, in the event of significant redemptions, PubCo may not be able to meet the Nasdaq listing standards. It is a condition to consummation of the Business Combination in the Business Combination Agreement that the PubCo Ordinary Shares to be issued in connection with the Business Combination shall have been approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, subject only to official notice of issuance thereof. PubCo and PNAC have certain obligations in the Business Combination Agreement to use reasonable best efforts to procure the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent for the consummation of the Business Combination, including with respect to satisfying the Nasdaq listing condition.

Do I have appraisal or dissenters’ rights if I object to the proposed Business Combination?

No PNAC stockholders who hold PNAC Units, shares of Class A Common Stock, PNAC Warrants or PNAC Rights have appraisal or dissenters’ rights in connection with the Business Combination under the DGCL. Therefore, no dissenters’ rights will be available under the Merger in respect of the PNAC Class A Common Stock; however, holders have a redemption right as further described in this proxy statement/prospectus. See “Special Meeting of PNAC stockholders — Redemption Rights” for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your PNAC Public Shares for cash.

What happens to the funds deposited in the Trust Account after consummation of the Business Combination?

Of the net proceeds of the PNAC IPO (including the net proceeds of the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option) and simultaneous private placements, a total of $65.79 million was placed in the Trust Account immediately following the IPO. After consummation of the Business Combination, the funds in the Trust Account shall be released to pay holders of the PNAC Common Stock who exercise redemption rights and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination with noco-noco (including fees of an aggregate of approximately $2,257,500 to certain underwriters in connection with the IPO). Any remaining funds shall remain on the balance sheet of PubCo after Closing in order to fund noco-noco’s existing operations and support new and existing growth initiatives.

What happens if the Business Combination is not consummated?

We have until August 17, 2023 (or by November 17, 2023, if extended) to complete the Business Combination. If PNAC does not complete the Business Combination with noco-noco (or another initial business combination) by August 17, 2023 (or by November 17, 2023, if extended) (such date the “Final Redemption Date”), PNAC must redeem 100% of the PNAC Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the amount then held in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable and less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then-outstanding PNAC Public Shares.

When do you expect the Business Combination to be completed?

The Business Combination is expected to be consummated promptly following the satisfaction, or waiver, of the conditions precedent to Closing set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, including the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Governing Documents Proposal by the shares of PNAC Common Stock. For a description of the conditions for the completion of the Business Combination, see the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — The Business

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Combination Agreement — Conditions to Closing.” However, there can be no assurance that such conditions will be satisfied or waived or that the Business Combination will occur.

What are the risks to PNAC stockholders of the Business Combination with noco-noco rather than an underwritten initial public offering of noco-noco’s securities?

PubCo has applied for listing, to be effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, of its ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “NCNC”. Unlike an underwritten initial public offering of PubCo’s securities, the listing of PubCo’s securities as a result of the Business Combination will not benefit from, including, but not limited to, (i) the book-building process undertaken by underwriters, which helps to inform efficient price discovery with respect to opening trades of newly listed securities; (ii) underwriter support to help stabilize, maintain, or affect the public price of the securities immediately after listing; and (iii) underwriter due diligence review of the offering and potential liability for material misstatements or omissions of fact in a prospectus used in connection with the securities being offered, or for statements made by its securities analysts or other personnel. See “Risk Factors — The listing of PubCo’s securities on Nasdaq will not benefit from the process undertaken in connection with an underwritten initial public offering” for more information.

Who will become the executive officers and directors of the PubCo?

It is anticipated that, upon the Closing, the management team of PubCo will consist of Mr. Masataka Matsumura, as the CEO, Ms. Mari Matsushita, as the Chief Product Officer, Mr. Tatsuo Mori, as the head of product management, Mr. Yuta Akakuma, as the head of business development, and Mr. Yoshinori Kurahashi, as the Chief Financial Officer. The PubCo Board will be comprised of Mr. Masataka Matsumura, Ms. Mari Matsushita, Mr. Yuta Akakuma, and three independent directors: Mr. Timothy Lai Wah Teo, Mr. Heizo Takenaka and Mr. Jean-Francois Raymond Roger Minier, who are nominated by noco-noco. See “Management of PubCo Following the Business Combination” for more information regarding the management team of PubCo and the PubCo Board after the Closing.

SUMMARY OF THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS

This summary highlights selected information from this proxy statement/prospectus and does not contain all of the information that is important to you. To better understand the proposals to be submitted for a vote at the Special Meeting, including the Business Combination, you should read this entire document carefully, including the Business Combination Agreement attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. The Business Combination Agreement is the legal document that governs the Business Combination and the other transactions that shall be undertaken in connection with the Business Combination. It is also described in detail in this proxy statement/prospectus in the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement.”

The Parties to the Business Combination

noco-noco

noco-noco is an early-stage decarbonization solution provider in Asia, aiming to primarily engage in (i) the leasing of battery products, including batteries and BEVs to commercial transportation companies, and of ESS to renewable power plants and other power plants requiring grid stabilization and backup power; and (ii) carbon abatement solutions for landowners and carbon credit sales. noco-noco operates a unique own-and-lease business model where it manufactures its battery products through OEMs and lease them to its clients. noco-noco relies on an exclusive license-in agreement with 3DOM Alliance to utilize 3DOM Alliance’s intellectual property and technologies to develop and manufacture its own battery products and services. It also engages in carbon abatement solutions and carbon credit sales, and cross-sells them to its battery business clients to offset carbon emissions from their operations.

noco-noco was incorporated under the laws of Singapore on July 25, 2019. The principal executive offices are located at 4 Shenton Way, #04-06 SGX Centre II, Singapore 068807, with a total area of 2,432 square feet. The lease will expire on September 14, 2024. noco-noco’s phone number is (65) 6970 9643 and its contact email address is contactus@noco-noco.com. There is no established public trading market for its ordinary shares.

Sellers

Each Seller is a registered shareholder of noco-noco. Such Seller is either an individual natural person of legal age and sound mind or an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation and has all requisite entity power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. Each Seller will be either a Signing Seller (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) or a Joining Seller (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement). Each Signing Seller is a noco-noco Insider, and in no event shall a shareholder of noco-noco that is not a noco-noco Insider be a party to the Business Combination Agreement prior to the SEC’s declaration of effectiveness of this proxy/registration statement. At any time after the date of the Business Combination Agreement and prior to the Share Exchange Closing, each shareholder of noco-noco that is not a Signing Seller can become a Joining Seller after this proxy/registration statement having been declared effective by the SEC by duly executing and delivering to noco-noco and PNAC a joinder agreement in the form attached to the Business Combination Agreement to become a party thereto. Such joinder agreement shall include an agreement by such shareholder of noco-noco to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement applicable to the Seller and an acknowledgment by such shareholder of noco-noco that he/she/it has received the proxy/registration statement prospectus with respect to the Business Combination Transactions. noco-noco shall use reasonable best efforts to procure that each holder of the issued and outstanding share capital of noco-noco is either a Signing Seller or a Joining Seller.

PNAC

PNAC is a blank check company incorporated on February 25, 2021, 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. Based on its business

TABLE OF CONTENTS

activities, PNAC is a “shell company,” as defined under the Exchange Act, because it has no operations and nominal assets consisting almost entirely of cash.

Before the completion of an initial business combination, any vacancy on the board of directors of PNAC may be filled by a nominee chosen by holders of a majority of its PNAC Founder Shares. In addition, before the completion of an initial business combination, holders of a majority of PNAC Founder Shares may remove a member of the board of directors for any reason.

On May 17, 2022, PNAC consummated its initial public offering of 6,450,000 PNAC Units (including 450,000 PNAC Units issued upon the partial exercise of the over-allotment option). Each PNAC Unit consists of one share of PNAC Class A Common Stock, one-half of one redeemable PNAC Warrant, with each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of PNAC Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, and one PNAC Right, with each right entitling the holder thereof to receive one-eighth (1/8) of one share of PNAC Class A Common Stock upon the completion of an initial business combination. The PNAC Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per PNAC Unit, generating gross proceeds of $64,500,000.

Substantially concurrently with the closing of the IPO, PNAC completed the private sale of 398,892 shares of the PNAC Private Shares to the Sponsors, including 349,032 shares to Sponsor A, and 49,860 shares to Sponsor B, at a purchase price of $10.00 per PNAC Private Share, generating gross proceeds to PNAC of $3,988,920 (including $3,490,320 from Sponsor A and $498,600 from Sponsor B).

Following the closing of PNAC’s initial public offering, an amount equal to $65.79 million of the net proceeds from its initial public offering and the sale of the PNAC Private Shares was placed in the Trust Account. The Trust Account may be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in United States Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which invest only in direct U.S. government obligations. As of December 31, 2022, funds in the Trust Account totaled $66,718,520. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds in the Trust Account that may be released to pay income taxes, the funds held in the Trust Account will not be released from the Trust Account (i) to PNAC, until the completion of its initial business combination, or (ii) to PNAC Public Stockholders, until the earliest of (a) the completion of PNAC’s initial business combination, and then only in connection with those shares of PNAC Common Stock that such shareholders properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described herein, (b) the redemption of any PNAC Public Shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Existing PNAC Charter (A) to modify the substance or timing of PNAC’s obligation to provide holders of PNAC Common Stock the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with PNAC’s initial business combination or to redeem 100% of PNAC Public Shares if PNAC does not complete its initial business combination by the prescribed date set forth in the Existing PNAC Charter or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of PNAC Common Stock, and (c) the redemption of PNAC Public Shares if it has not consummated its business combination by the Final Redemption Date, subject to applicable law.

On May 15, 2023, PNAC held a special meeting of stockholders where PNAC stockholders approved the proposal to amend the PNAC’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to allow PNAC until May 17, 2023 to consummate an initial business combination, and to elect to extend the period to consummate an initial business combination up to six times, each by an additional one-month period (each a “Monthly Extension”), for a total of up to six months to November 17, 2023 (the “Final Termination Date”), by depositing to PNAC’s Trust Account $125,000 for each one-month extension. On May 17, 2023, PNAC filed a certificate of amendment to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, effective on the same date, to effectuate the proposal.

Related Agreements

Lock-Up Agreement

Prior to the Merger Effective Time, certain Sellers and the PNAC Initial Stockholders will enter into lock-up agreements with PNAC and PubCo (the “Lock-up Agreement”).

Pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreement, PubCo Ordinary Shares held by such holders are categorized as (i) “Group I Lock-up Shares”, referring to the 50% of the total number of PubCo Ordinary Shares that such Seller will receive in connection with the Share Exchange, or 50% of the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares such Holder will receive in converting their PNAC Founder Shares in connection with the Merger, (ii) “Group II Lock-up Shares”, referring to the remaining 50% of the total number of PubCo Ordinary Shares that such Seller will receive in connection with the Share Exchange, or 50% of the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares such Holder will receive in converting its PNAC Founder Shares in connection with the Merger; and (iii) “Group III Lock-up Shares”, referring to the total number of PubCo Ordinary Shares that such Holder will receive in converting its PNAC Private Shares and its PNAC Working Capital Loan Shares (as defined in the Lock-up Agreement) in connection with the Merger.

PNAC Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

PNAC was organized for the purpose of entering into a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

The Business Combination resulted from a thorough search for a potential target, utilizing PNAC’s resources along with the investment and operation experience of PNAC management and the Board. The terms of the Business Combination are the result of extensive negotiations between PNAC and noco-noco.

From the date of PNAC IPO through the execution of the Business Combination on December 29, 2022, PNAC evaluated various potential target companies. PNAC followed the initial set of criteria and guidelines outlined in the prospectus for the initial public offering to assess the value and the growth of the potential target but did not limit itself to those criteria. PNAC’s management evaluated business combination opportunities made available to them based on the merits of a particular initial business combination which may be based, to the extent relevant, on these general guidelines as well as other considerations, factors, and criteria that they deemed relevant.

Prior to reaching the decision to approve the Business Combination Agreement, the PNAC Board reviewed the results of the business and financial due diligence conducted by PNAC management and third party legal and financial advisors, which included:

Extensive meetings with noco-noco’s management.

Research on the markets of battery and BEV industry, and carbon abatement solutions and carbon credit sales industry, including historical growth trends and market share information as well as growth financial projections and Selected Public Company Analysis.

Review of noco-noco’s strategy on expanding market for X-SEPA Separators.

Analysis and review of noco-noco’s historical financial statements.

Analysis and review of noco-noco’s MOUs and potential transactions.

Review of noco-noco’ business model including its planned future operations and underlying technology.

Interviews with senior executives from various business departments of noco-noco.

Multiple rounds of discussions with the principal shareholder, the CEO and the senior management of noco-noco on future growth strategy.

11.

Review of noco-noco’s constitutional documents, material business contracts and licenses.

12.

Review of noco-noco’s related party transactions.

13.

Review of prevailing industry changes and challenges in the COVID-19 era.

14.

Legal due diligence review conducted by PNAC’s legal counsel.

15.

Assessment of noco-noco’s total addressable market, its key competitors, competitive advantages, barriers of entry, and target market share.

16.

Assessment of noco-noco’s public company readiness.

Assessment of the Renewed License-in Agreement and the upfront payment of the $30 million licensing fee therein.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

For additional information on the set of factors and risks that PNAC Board weighted and considered, and the reasoning for approving the Business Combination, see “The Business Combination Proposal — PNAC Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination”.

U.S. Foreign Investment Review

The Business Combination may be subject to certain government review, including but not limited to the review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). CFIUS is an interagency committee authorized to review certain transactions involving foreign investment in the United States by foreign persons in order to determine the effect of such transactions on the national security of the United States. Whether CFIUS has jurisdiction to review an acquisition or investment transaction depends on, among other factors, the nature and structure of the transaction, including the level of beneficial ownership interest and the nature of any information or governance rights involved.

For example, investments that result in “control” of a “U.S. business” by a “foreign person” (in each case, as such terms are defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800) that might be considered by CFIUS to be a covered transaction that CFIUS would have authority to review. Some of PNAC’s directors and officers, and members of its Sponsors, are “foreign persons” as defined under the relevant regulations. Among PNAC’s management, Mr. Dongfeng Wang, PNAC’s Chairman and Chief Exeutive Officer, is located in the U.S. and a U.S. permanent resident, and a Hong Kong citizen. Mr. Weixiong (Jeff) Cheong, PNAC’s Chief Operating Officer, is located outside U.S. and a Singapore citizen. Other than Mr. Wang and Mr. Cheong, the rest of our directors and officers are U.S. citizens residencing in the U.S. Both Sponsor A, Prime Number Acquisition LLC, which currently holds 25.03% of PNAC’s outstanding shares, and Sponsor B, Glorious Capital LLC, which currently holds 2.02% of PNAC’s outstanding shares, are owned in part, directly or indirectly, by certain Hong Kong or PRC nationals. As a result, an aggregate of 1,208,541 shares, or 17.46% of PNAC’s outstanding shares are held indirectly by non-U.S. persons or persons with foreign citizenship. PNAC is therefore likely considered a “foreign person” under the regulations administered by CFIUS and will continue to be considered as such in the future for so long as the Sponsors have the ability to exercise control over PNAC for purposes of CFIUS’s regulations. Therefore, it could be subject to foreign ownership restrictions and/or CFIUS review if noco-noco is considered to be engaged in a regulated industry or which may affect national security.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Notwithstanding the above, if our determination is not correct, or if the regulations change or are interpreted differently in the future, the Business Combination may be subject to CFIUS review or review by another U.S. governmental entity and ultimately prohibited. Even if it not prohibited, any review by CFIUS or another government entity may have outsized impacts on, among other things, the certainty, timing and feasibility of the Business Combination, which would significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to complete the Business Combination and force PNAC to liquidate and our warrants to expire worthless, preventing the possibility of any price appreciation that may have occurred in our securities following the Business Combination.

The process of government review, whether by the CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy and PNAC has limited time to complete the Business Combination. If PNAC cannot complete the Business Combination by November 17, 2023 (assuming full extension) because the review process drags on beyond such timeframe or because the Business Combination is ultimately prohibited by CFIUS or another U.S. government entity, it may be required to liquidate. If PNAC liquidates, its Public Stockholders may only receive $10.20 per share, and its warrants and rights will expire worthless. This will also cause you to lose the investment opportunity in noco-noco or another target company and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.

For more information, see “Risk Factors — Risks related to PNAC and the Business Combination — We may not be able to complete the Business Combination if it is subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations and review by a U.S. government entity such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), or ultimately prohibited.”

The Governing Documents Proposal

The shareholders of PNAC will vote on a separate proposal to authorize adoption of the Amended PubCo Charter. Please see the section entitled “The Governing Documents Proposal.”

The Adjournment Proposal

If, based on the tabulated vote, there are insufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to authorize PNAC to consummate the Merger or the Business Combination, PNAC’s board of directors may (and PNAC is required under the Business Combination Agreement to) submit a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies. Please see the section entitled “The Adjournment Proposal.”

Date, Time and Place of Special Meeting of PNAC stockholders

The Special Meeting of the shareholders of PNAC shall be held virtually via live webcast at [ ] to consider and vote upon the Business Combination Proposal, the Governing Documents Proposal and if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal.

Voting Power; Record Date

Shareholders shall be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the Special Meeting if they owned shares of PNAC Common Stock at the close of business on July 13, 2023, which is the Record Date for the Special Meeting. Shareholders shall have one vote for each PNAC Share owned at the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. Warrants or Rights do not have voting rights. On the Record Date, there were 6,867,441 shares of PNAC Common Stock outstanding, of which 2,011,392 were held by the Sponsors and certain directors and officers of PNAC.

Quorum and Vote of PNAC stockholders

A quorum of PNAC stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum shall be present at the Special Meeting if the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the Special Meeting are present in person or by proxy. An abstention or broker non-vote will be counted towards the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

quorum requirement but will not count as a vote cast at the Special Meeting. The proposals presented at the Special Meeting shall require the following votes:

•

Pursuant to the Existing PNAC Charter, the approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of PNAC Common Stock cast, in person (including virtual presence) or by proxy, in respect of the Business Combination Proposal and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting.

•

The approval of the Governing Documents Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of PNAC Common Stock cast, in person (including virtually presence) or by proxy, in respect of the Governing Documents Proposal and vote thereupon at the Special Meeting.

•

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal if presented will require the consent of the meeting, which means a simple majority of the votes which are cast by those PNAC stockholders who are present, in person or by proxy, and vote thereupon at the Special Meeting.

•

An abstention or broker non-vote will be counted towards the quorum requirement but will not count as a vote cast at the Special Meeting.

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the Existing PNAC Charter, a PNAC Public Stockholder may request that PNAC redeem all or a portion of its PNAC Public Shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. As a holder of PNAC Public Shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any PNAC Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:

(i) hold PNAC Public Shares;

(ii)

submit a written request to VStock, PNAC’s transfer agent, in which you (a) request that PNAC redeem all or a portion of your PNAC Public Shares for cash, and (b) identify yourself as the beneficial holder of the PNAC Public Shares and provide your legal name, phone number and address; and

(iii)

deliver share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms (as applicable) to VStock, PNAC’s transfer agent, physically or electronically through The Depository Trust Company.

The redemption rights include the requirement that a PNAC Public Stockholder must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its legal name, phone number and address to VStock in order to validly redeem its shares.

If the Business Combination is not consummated, the PNAC Public Shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank. If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a PNAC Public Stockholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the PNAC Public Shares that it holds and timely delivers its share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms (as applicable) to VStock, PNAC will redeem such PNAC Public Shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to PNAC. If a PNAC Public Stockholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its PNAC Public Shares for cash and will no longer own PNAC Public Shares. See “Special Meeting of PNAC stockholders — Redemption Rights” for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your PNAC Public Shares for cash.

A PNAC Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such holder and any person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), may not seek to have more than 15% of the aggregate shares redeemed without the consent of PNAC. Under the Existing PNAC Charter, the Business Combination may not be consummated if PubCo (as the entity that succeeds PNAC as a public company) has net tangible assets of less than $5,000,001 either immediately

TABLE OF CONTENTS

prior to or upon consummation of the Business Combination after taking into account the redemption for cash of all PNAC Public Shares properly demanded to be redeemed by the PNAC Public Stockholders.

Any request for redemption, once made by a PNAC Public Stockholder, may not be withdrawn once submitted to PNAC unless PNAC Board determines (in its sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which it may do in whole or in part).

No Appraisal or Dissenters’ Rights

No PNAC holders who hold PNAC Units, Shares of Class A Common Stock, Warrant or Right have appraisal or dissenters’ rights in connection with the Business Combination under the DGCL. Therefore, no dissenters’ rights will be available under the Merger in respect of the PNAC Class A Common Stock; however, holders have a redemption right as further described in this proxy statement/prospectus. See “Special Meeting of PNAC stockholders — Redemption Rights” for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your PNAC Public Shares for cash.

Proxy Solicitation

Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone or in person. PNAC has engaged Advantage Proxy, Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies.

If a shareholder grants a proxy, it may still vote its shares at the Special Meeting if it revokes its proxy before the Special Meeting. A shareholder may also change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy as described in the section entitled “Special Meeting of PNAC stockholders — Revoking Your Proxy.”

Interests of PNAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

When considering the PNAC Board’s recommendation to vote in favor of approving the Business Combination Proposal and the Governing Documents Proposal, PNAC stockholders should keep in mind that the PNAC Initial Stockholders (including the Sponsors, directors and officers of PNAC), have interests in such proposals that are different from, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), those of PNAC stockholders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

•

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

each of the three independent directors of PNAC holds 15,000 Founder Shares, which would become worthless if PNAC does not complete a business combination within the applicable time period, as the independent directors have waived any right to redemption with respect to these shares. Each independent director of PNAC paid approximately $217.391, or $0.017 per share for such 15,000 Founder Shares. Such 15,000 Founder Shares held by each independent director have an aggregate market value of approximately $158,400, based on the closing price of PNAC Class A Common Stock on the Record Date, resulting in a theoretical gain of $158,182.609 (or $10.55 per share);

•

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The PNAC Initial Stockholders have agreed to, among other things, vote all of their PNAC Founder Shares and PNAC Private Shares in favor of the proposals being presented at the Special Meeting and waive their redemption rights with respect to their PNAC Common Stock in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the PNAC Initial Stockholders own approximately 29.05% of the issued and outstanding shares of PNAC Common Stock.

At any time at or prior to the Business Combination, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding PNAC or its securities, the Sponsors, noco-noco, and/or PNAC’s or noco-noco’s directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may purchase PNAC Public Shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the Business Combination Proposal or Governing Documents Proposal, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire PNAC Public Shares or vote their PNAC Public Shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal or Governing Documents Proposal. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record or beneficial holder of PNAC Common Stock, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights.

If the Sponsors, noco-noco, and/or PNAC’s or noco-noco’s directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from PNAC Public Stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, then such selling shareholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The Sponsors, noco-noco, and/or PNAC’s or noco-noco’s directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may also purchase PNAC Public Shares from institutional and other investors who indicate an intention to redeem PNAC Common Stock, or, if the price per share of PNAC Common Stock falls below $10.00 per share, then such parties may seek to enforce their redemption rights. The above-described activity could be especially prevalent in and around the time of Closing.

The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to (a) increase the likelihood that: (i) the Business Combination Proposal is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of PNAC Common Stock entitled to vote, who attend, in person or by proxy, and vote thereupon at the Special Meeting; (ii) the Governing Documents Proposal is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of PNAC Common Stock entitled to vote, who attend, in person or by proxy, and vote thereupon at the Special Meeting; and (iii) PubCo’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) being at least $5,000,001 after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the Transaction Financing; and (b) otherwise limit the number of PNAC Public Shares electing to redeem. The Sponsors, noco-noco and/or PNAC’s or noco-noco’s directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may also purchase shares from institutional and other investors for investment purposes.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the PNAC Common Stock and the PubCo Shares that the PNAC Common Stock exchangeable into in connection with the Merger. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a lower-than-market price and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he, she, or they own, either at or before the Business Combination.

If such transactions are executed, then the Business Combination could be completed in circumstances where such consummation would not have otherwise occurred. Share purchases by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over approving the proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved.

As of the date of this proxy/prospectus, the Sponsors, PNAC’s directors, officers and advisors, and their affiliates, have not made any purchases of shares and/or warrants from investors, or have agreed to any agreements or transactions with any investors or others to provide such investors or others with incentives to acquire PNAC Public Shares or vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal or Governing Documents Proposal. If the Sponsors or their affiliates enter into any such purchases, agreements or transactions:

•

any such purchases of securities would be made at a price no higher than the redemption price;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

PNAC will disclose in a Current Report on Form 8-K prior to the Special Meeting the following information: (i) the amount of securities purchased in such transaction(s), along with the purchase price; (ii) the purpose of such purchases; (iii) the impact, if any, of the purchases on the likelihood that the Business Combination will be approved; (iv) the identities of security holders who sold such shares (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of security holders (e.g. 5% security holders) who sold such shares; and (v) the number of securities for which PNAC has received redemption requests pursuant to its redemption offer.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of PNAC’s directors results in conflicts of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she, or they may believe is in the best interests of PNAC and what he, she, or they may believe is best for himself, herself, or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, PNAC’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder.

Please see “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of PNAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” for additional information on interests of PNAC’s directors and officers.

Compensation of PNAC Directors, Officers, Sponsors, and their affiliates

No compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, will be paid by PNAC to our Sponsors, officers, directors or any of our or their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection with the completion of the Business Combination. However, these individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying and investigating potential target businesses and completing the Business Combination. Certain directors and officers of PNAC are direct or indirect memberss of the Sponsor, and, following the consummation of the Business Combination, each such director and officer of PNAC is entitled to receive PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants then held by the Sponsors as further described in “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.” for more information.

Certain Engagements in Connection with the Business Combination and Related Transactions

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Engagements in Connection with the Business Combination and Related Transactions”. PNCPS and WestPark have not sent, and do not anticipate sending, any notice about ceasing involvement with the Business Combination. In addition, neither has waived the deferred underwriting fee from PNAC’s IPO.

Recommendation to PNAC stockholders

PNAC’s Board believes that each of the proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting is fair to, and in the best interests of, PNAC and unanimously recommends that its stockholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Governing Documents Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, if presented.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of PNAC’s directors results in conflicts of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of PNAC and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, PNAC’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of PNAC’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Certain Information Relating to PubCo and PNAC

PubCo Listing

PubCo has applied for listing, to be effective at the time of the Closing of the Business Combination, of the PubCo Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq and expects to obtain clearance by DTC as promptly as practicable following the issuance thereof, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the Closing Date.

Delisting and Deregistration of PNAC

If the Business Combination is completed, PNAC Units, PNAC Class A Common Stock, PNAC Warrants and PNAC Rights shall be delisted from Nasdaq and shall be deregistered under the Exchange Act.

Emerging Growth Company

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, PubCo will be an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. PubCo will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Business Combination, (b) in which PubCo has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion or (c) in which PubCo is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of PubCo Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of PubCo’s prior second fiscal quarter, PubCo has been subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements for at least 12 calendar months; and filed at least one annual report, and (ii) the date on which PubCo issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period. PubCo intends to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to most other public companies, whether or not they are classified as “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, an exemption from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that PubCo’s independent registered public accounting firm provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

PubCo will adopt a new code of business conduct and ethics (the “Code of Business Conduct and Ethics”) that applies to all directors, executive officers and employees. It will be available on PubCo’s

TABLE OF CONTENTS

website upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part. PubCo’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is a “code of ethics,” as defined in Item 406(b) of Regulation S-K. Copies of the code of business conduct and charters for each of PubCo’s board committees will be provided without charge upon request from PubCo and will be posted on its website. PubCo will make any legally required disclosures regarding amendments to, or waivers of, provisions of PubCo`s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics on its Internet website.

Foreign Private Issuer and Controlled Company Exemptions

As a “foreign private issuer,” PubCo will be subject to different U.S. securities laws than domestic U.S. issuers. The rules governing the information that PubCo must disclose differ from those governing U.S. companies pursuant to the Exchange Act. PubCo will be exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements to shareholders. Those proxy statements are not expected to conform to Schedule 14A of the proxy rules promulgated under the Exchange Act.

In addition, as a “foreign private issuer,” PubCo’s officers and directors and holders of more than 10% of the issued and outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares, will be exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act requiring insiders to report purchases and sales of ordinary shares as well as from Section 16 short swing profit reporting and liability.

PubCo will also be exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information, and current reports on Form 8-K, upon the occurrence of specified significant events. In addition, PubCo will not be required to file annual reports and financial statements with the SEC as promptly as U.S. domestic companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act, and are not required to comply with Regulation FD, which restricts the selective disclosure of material information.

In addition, immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, 3DOM Alliance will hold more than 50% of PubCo’s voting power. As a result, PubCo will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of the Nasdaq listing rules. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power in the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements.

As a result of its status as a “foreign private issuer” and a “controlled company,” among other things, PubCo is not required to have:

•

a majority of the board of directors consisting of independent directors;

•

a compensation committee consisting of independent directors;

•

a nominating committee consisting of independent directors; or

•

regularly scheduled executive sessions with only independent directors each year.

As a foreign private issuer and a controlled company, PubCo will be permitted to, and PubCo may, rely on exemptions from certain Nasdaq Stock Exchange corporate governance standards applicable to domestic U.S. issuers. This may afford less protection to holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares. We intend to rely on our home country Cayman Islands practices in lieu of the requirements under Rules 5600 Series, Rule 5250(b)(3) and Rule 5250(d), except Rule 5625, Rule 5605(c)(2)(A)(ii) and Rule 5605(c)(3) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC Rules

See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to PubCo and Ownership of PubCo’s Shares — Because we are a “controlled company” as defined in the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules, you may not have protections of certain corporate governance requirements which otherwise are required by Nasdaq’s rules” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to PubCo and Ownership of PubCo’s Shares — PubCo is a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands and will qualify as a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act, and as such PubCo is exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States domestic public companies.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Material Tax Consequences

As described in “Material Tax Considerations — United States Federal Income Tax Considerations — Effects of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders,” it is intended that the Business Combination qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 368(a)(1)(F) and 368(a)(2)(D) of the Code. Assuming that the Business Combination so qualifies, U.S. Holders (as defined in “Material Tax Considerations — United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”) of PNAC securities will generally not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes on the Merger. See the section titled “Material Tax Considerations — United States Federal Income Tax Considerations — Effects of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders.”

In the event that a U.S. Holder elects to redeem its PNAC Public Shares for cash, the treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale or exchange of the PNAC Public Shares under Section 302 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). If the redemption qualifies as a sale or exchange of the PNAC Public Shares, the U.S. Holder will be treated as recognizing capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the redemption and such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the PNAC Public Shares surrendered in such redemption transaction. There may be certain circumstances, however, in which the redemption may be treated as a distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes depending on the amount of PNAC Common Stock that such U.S. Holder owns or is deemed to own after the redemption. See the section titled “Material Tax Considerations — United States Federal Income Tax Considerations — Effects to U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights.”

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

The Business Combination is made up of the series of transactions provided for in the Business Combination Agreement as described elsewhere within this proxy statement/prospectus. The Business Combination will be accounted for as a capital reorganization. Under this method of accounting, PubCo will be treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of noco-noco issuing shares at the Closing for the net assets of PNAC as of the Closing Date, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of PNAC will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded and operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of noco-noco. noco-noco has been determined to be the accounting acquiror for purposes of the Business Combination based on an evaluation of the following facts and circumstances Notwithstanding the legal form, the Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP:

•

noco-noco’s operations prior to the Business Combination will comprise the ongoing operations of PubCo;

•

noco-noco’s existing senior management team will comprise all or majority of the senior management team of PubCo; and

•

noco-noco’s shareholders, or the Sellers, are expected to have a majority of the voting power of PubCo.

Regulatory Matters

The Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are not subject to a closing condition that any additional federal, state or foreign regulatory requirement or approval be obtained, except for filings with the registrar of the Cayman Islands necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and filings with ACRA in connection with the Business Combination.

Risk Factor Summary

In evaluating the proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting of the PNAC stockholders, a stockholder should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus and especially consider the factors discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The consummation of the Business Combination and the business and financial condition of PubCo subsequent to the Closing are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section title “Risk Factors.” The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described below, alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may adversely affect PNAC’s ability to effect the Business Combination, and may have an adverse effect on the business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations of PNAC prior to the Business Combination and that of PubCo subsequent to the Business Combination. Such risks include, but are not limited to:

•

noco-noco is an early stage company with a history of financial losses, and its battery business expects to incur significant expenses and continuing losses for the foreseeable future;

•

noco-noco’s business model has yet to be tested and any failure to commercialize its strategic plans would have an adverse effect on its operating results and business, harm its reputation and could result in substantial liabilities that exceed its resources;

•

noco-noco’s business plan may not prove successful, is subject to legal and regulatory risks and its products may not be well-accepted by the markets, which could materially and adversely affect its prospects;

•

The success of noco-noco’s business significantly relies on its relationship with 3DOM Alliance. If 3DOM Alliance no longer exclusively licenses their intellectual property rights and technologies to noco-noco, noco-noco’s business, financial position, results of operations and prospect would be materially and adversely affected;

•

noco-noco’s business and future growth depends on the growth in demand for BEVs, hybrid vehicles and alternative fuel;

•

The EV battery market continues to evolve and is highly competitive, and other battery manufacturers have significantly greater resources than noco-noco does;

•

noco-noco’s future success depends on the needs and success of its clients, as well as the demand for its clients’ products or services;

•

Many of noco-noco’s target clients are large commercial transportation companies, renewable energy plants and power plants, and the failure to maintain existing clients and secure new clients, withdrawal of leasing services by such clients or failure to negotiate acceptable terms in contract renewal negotiations could have an adverse impact on its business;

•

noco-noco may not be able to engage target clients successfully and to convert such contacts into meaningful orders in the future;

•

If noco-noco is unable to establish and maintain confidence in its long-term business prospects among clients and analysts and within its industry or are subject to negative publicity, then its financial condition, operating results, business prospects and access to capital may suffer materially;

•

If any of noco-noco’s battery products fails to perform as expected, its ability to develop, market and sell its products and services could be harmed;

•

noco-noco’s battery products will require extensive safety testing prior to being offered to its lessees or installed in electric vehicles and power plants;

•

Any decline in the value of carbon credits or carbon offsets could materially adversely affect noco-noco’s business;

•

noco-noco’s operating and financial results forecast relies in large part upon assumptions and analyses developed by noco-noco. If these assumptions or analyses prove to be incorrect, noco-noco’s actual operating results may be materially different from its forecasted results;

•

PNAC will have limited rights after the Closing to make claims for damages against noco-noco or noco-noco’s stockholders for the breach of representations, warranties, or covenants made by noco-noco in the Business Combination Agreement;

•

The Business Combination is subject to conditions, including certain conditions that may not be satisfied on a timely basis, if at all; and

•

The other risks and uncertainties discussed in “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

SELECTED UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 and the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 are based on (i) the unaudited financial statements of NOCO-NOCO PTE. LTD. (“noco-noco”) as of December 31, 2022, (ii) the audited financial statements of Prime Number Acquisition I Corp. (“PNAC”) as of December 31, 2022. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, including the notes thereto, which is included in this proxy statement prospectus under the section titled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements.”

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 and the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 give pro forma effect to the acquisition of the noco-noco and PNAC.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not necessarily reflect what the combined company’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the acquisition of the noco-noco and PNAC occurred on the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the combined company. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and does not reflect the costs of any integration activities or cost savings or synergies that may be achieved as a result of the acquisition. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to PNAC and the Business Combination — Our actual financial position and results of operations may differ materially from the unaudited pro forma financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus.”

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This proxy statement/prospectus includes statements that express PNAC’s, PubCo’s and noco-noco’s opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results of operations or financial condition and therefore are, or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “seeks,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “will” or “should” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts.

You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus, before you decide whether to vote or instruct your vote to be cast to approve the proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus. Certain of the following risk factors apply to the business and operations of noco-noco and will also apply to the business and operations of PubCo following the completion of the Business Combination. The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in these risk factors, alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may adversely affect the ability to complete or realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, and may have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects and trading price of PubCo following the Business Combination. The risks discussed below may not prove to be exhaustive and are based on certain assumptions made by PubCo, PNAC and noco-noco, which later may prove to be incorrect or incomplete. PubCo, PNAC and noco-noco may face additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known to such entity, or that are currently deemed immaterial, but which may also ultimately have an adverse effect on any such party.

Risks Related to noco-noco’s Business and Industry

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this subsection to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to the business of noco-noco and its subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which will be the business of PubCo and its subsidiaries following the consummation of the Business Combination.

We are an early stage company with a history of financial losses and our battery business expects to incur significant expenses and continuing losses for the foreseeable future.

We are engaged in (i) leasing of battery products, including batteries, BEVs and ESS and (ii) carbon abatement solutions and carbon credit sales. Our battery business incurred a net loss of approximately $0.7 million and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $1.3 million and $2.4 million as of June 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively. As our battery business currently does not have any operations to generate revenue, except revenue generated in 2021 for production of sample batteries used for a client’s internal testing for the purpose of providing the Public Utility Board of Singapore with a proof-of-concept ESS, we believe that our battery business will continue to incur operating and net losses each fiscal year until such time as we begin significant production and leasing of our battery products, which is not expected to occur until the third quarter of 2023, and may occur later.

We expect the rate at which we will incur losses to be higher in future periods as we, among other things, continue to expand our footprints in the Southeast Asian and South Asian region, increase our sales and marketing activities, develop our distribution infrastructure, and increase our general and administrative functions to support our growing operations. We may find that these efforts are more expensive than we currently anticipate or that these efforts may not result in revenues, which would further increase our losses or even prevent us from continuing as a going concern.

Further, the battery and EV industries are affected by market conditions that are outside our control. Our results of operations may fluctuate significantly from period to period due to a number of factors, including changes in market demand for batteries, BEVs and ESS, industry-wide technology changes, the loss of key clients and the postponement, rescheduling or cancellation of large orders by key clients. As a result of these factors and other risks discussed in this section, period-to-period comparisons should not be relied upon to predict our future performance.

Our business model has yet to be tested and any failure to commercialize our strategic plans would have an adverse effect on our operating results and business, harm our reputation and could result in substantial liabilities that exceed our resources.

Our battery business has not commenced operations yet. Investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by a new enterprise, many of which are beyond our control, including substantial risks and expenses in the course of developing or manufacturing new products or services, establishing or

TABLE OF CONTENTS

entering new markets, organizing operations, and undertaking marketing activities. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of these risks, expenses, complications, delays and the competitive environment in which we operate. There is, therefore, nothing at this time upon which to base an assumption that our business plan will prove successful, and we may not be able to generate significant revenue, raise additional capital, or operate profitably. We will continue to encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by early commercial stage companies, including introducing products or services that are accepted by the markets, scaling up our infrastructure and headcount, and we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties or delays in connection with our growth. In addition, as a result of the capital-intensive nature of our leasing business, we can be expected to face pressures to raise additional financings in order to sustain our operations of leasing projects to grow our business and achieve profitability. Any investment in our company is therefore highly speculative and could result in the loss of your entire investment.

It is difficult to predict our future revenues and appropriately budget for our expenses, and we have limited insight into potential changes in trends that may emerge and affect our business. In the event that actual results differ from our estimates or we adjust our estimates in future periods, our operating results, prospects and financial position could be materially affected. The projected financial information appearing elsewhere in these materials was prepared by management and reflects current estimates of future performance. The projected results depend on the successful implementation of management’s growth strategies and are based on assumptions and events over which we have only partial or no control. In particular, our projected results are heavily reliant on our ability to successfully develop, manufacture, market and lease our battery products. The assumptions underlying such projected information require the exercise of judgment and may not occur, and the projections are subject to uncertainty due to the effects of economic, business, competitive, regulatory, legislative, and political or other changes.

Our business plan may not prove successful, is subject to legal and regulatory risks and our products may not be well-accepted by the markets, which could materially and adversely affect our prospects.

Our businesses in Asia-Pacific, including Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, India, Australia, and PNG, are relatively new, and there is no assurance that we will be able to achieve and maintain growth and profitability across all of our business segments. There is also no assurance that our offerings will be accepted by the market or that market acceptance of our offerings will grow. Further, technologies and industry standards in relation to batteries, BEVs and ESS are evolving. For example, many of our competitors are developing a variety of battery technologies, such as solid state batteries and fuel cells, which are expected to compete with our existing product lines. It is possible that our competitors will be able to introduce new products with more desirable features than ours and their new products will gain greater market acceptance. In addition, our business could be impacted by macro-economic conditions and their effect on discretionary consumer spending, which could impact the business of our prospective consumers and in turn could impact the demand of service offerings made available by us.

Furthermore, we plan to operate our leasing services and carbon abatement solutions in several countries in the large, diverse and complex Asia-Pacific region. Each of our segments is subject to various regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Focus areas of regulatory risk that we are exposed to include, among others: (i) evolution of laws and regulations applicable to the leasing of batteries, BEVs and ESS as well as carbon abatement projects and carbon credit sales, (ii) various forms of data regulation such as data privacy, data localization, data portability, cybersecurity and advertising or marketing, (iii) economic regulations such as price, supply regulation, safety, health, environment regulations, (iv) foreign ownership restrictions, (v) vehicle regulation, (vi) land management, and (vii) native title of land. In addition, we may not be able to obtain all the licenses, permits and approvals that may be necessary to provide our product or service offerings. Because the relevant laws and regulations, as well as their interpretations, are often unclear and evolving in certain jurisdictions, this can make it difficult for us to assess whether we have complied with the relevant laws and regulations and which licenses and approvals are necessary for our business, or the processes for obtaining such licenses in certain jurisdictions. For these reasons, we also cannot be certain that we will be able to comply with all the material laws and regulations or maintain the licenses and approvals that we have previously obtained, or that once they expire we will be able to renew them. We cannot be sure that our interpretations of the rules and their exemptions have always been or will be consistent with those of the local regulators. As we expand our businesses, we may be required to obtain new licenses and will be subject to additional laws and regulations in the markets we plan to operate in.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We also expect to expand our businesses in the Asia-Pacific region through acquisitions and strategic partnerships. Such expansion may increase the complexity of our business and may place significant strain on our management, personnel, operations, systems, technical performance, financial resources, and internal financial control and reporting functions. If our efforts of expansion through acquisitions or strategic partnerships fail, our business, results of operations, financial position, reputation, and prospects could be materially adversely affected.

The success of our business significantly relies on our relationship with 3DOM Alliance. If 3DOM Alliance no longer exclusively licenses its intellectual property rights and technologies to us, our business, financial position, results of operations and prospect would be materially and adversely affected.

All of our technologies are licensed from 3DOM Alliance, enabling us to utilize certain intellectual property rights and technologies owned or licensed in by 3DOM Alliance to manufacture and offer our own products. See “noco-noco’s Business — Relationship with 3DOM Alliance” for more details. We also rely on 3DOM Alliance’s intellectual property rights and technologies to enable the development, operations and improvement of our battery products. Although our license-in agreement with 3DOM Alliance has a perpetual term, 3DOM Alliance can terminate the license-in agreement if we fail to pay any amounts when due with a thirty (30) days’ written notice, or when we fail to perform any obligation and fail to cure within the sixty (60) days notice period. If the license-in agreement is terminated or if we are unable to license future intellectual property rights and technologies from 3DOM Alliance, if we do so only on terms that are less favorable to us, our ability to continue to develop, maintain and improve our battery products and services could be harmed, which could in turn adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, some of the technology licensed under the 3DOM Alliance license are sublicensed to us by 3DOM (rather than licensed directly) and if 3DOM were to lose its rights to sublicense such technologies it is possible that we would not be able to use such technologies in the future.

Our business and future growth depends on the growth in demand for BEVs, hybrid vehicles and alternative fuel.

As the demand for our products is directly related to the market demand for BEVs, a fast-growing e-mobility market will be critical to the success of our business. In anticipation of an expected increase in the demand for BEVs in the next few years, we have sought long-term strategic partnerships, such as our strategic alliance with EV Dynamics and its Japanese subsidiary. See “noco-noco’s Business — Partnerships” for our potential strategic alliance with EV Dynamics. However, the markets we have targeted, primarily those in Asia-Pacific region, may not achieve the level of growth we expect during the time frame projected. If any of these markets that we plan to expand into fails to achieve our expected level of growth, we may incur significant losses and not be able to generate enough revenue to achieve profitability. If the market for alternative fuel, hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles does not develop at the rate or in the manner or to the extent that we expect, or if critical assumptions that we have made regarding the efficiency of our energy solutions are incorrect or incomplete, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

The EV battery market continues to evolve and is highly competitive, and other battery manufacturers have significantly greater resources than we do.

The EV battery market, like the EV market it services, is fast-growing, extremely competitive and driven by the innovation of both large incumbents and emerging entrants like noco-noco. For more information, see “noco-noco’s Business — Competition.” Lithium-ion battery technology has been widely adopted and our current competitors have, and future competitors may have, greater resources than we do and may also be able to devote greater resources to the development of their current and future technologies. These competitors also may have greater access to clients and may be able to establish cooperative or strategic relationships amongst themselves or with third parties that may further enhance their resources and competitive positioning. In addition, lithium-ion battery manufacturers may continue to reduce cost and expand supply of conventional batteries and, therefore reducing the prospects for our business or negatively impacting our ability to provide our products at a market-competitive price and with sufficient margins.

To date, we have focused our efforts on our state-of-the-art X-SEPA separator and lithium manganese iron phosphate (LMFP) cathode. However, a number of development-stage companies are also seeking to

TABLE OF CONTENTS

develop new technologies for lithium-metal batteries, such as new technologies for cathodes, anodes, electrolytes and additives. Some of these companies have established relationships with OEMs and are in varying stages of development. Additionally, many OEMs are researching and investing in conventional lithium-ion batteries and/or lithium-metal battery efforts and, in some cases, in battery development and production. Furthermore, other companies are developing alternative technologies such as advanced diesel, ethanol, fuel cells or compressed natural gas, as well as potential improvements in the fuel economy of the internal combustion engine. We expect competition in battery technology and BEVs to intensify due to increased demand for EVs. Competition may also be driven by a regulatory push for EVs, continuing globalization, and consolidation in the worldwide automotive industry. Developments in alternative technologies or improvements in battery technology made by competitors may materially adversely affect the sales, pricing and gross margins of our battery products. If a competing technology is developed that has superior operational or price performance, our business will be harmed. Similarly, if we fail to accurately predict and ensure that our battery technology can address clients’ changing needs or emerging technological trends, or if our clients fail to achieve the benefits expected from our battery products, our business will be harmed.

Our future success depends on the needs and success of our clients, as well as the demand for our clients’ products or services.

The demand for our battery products, in particular the batteries and BEVs, will ultimately depend on our clients, consisting primarily of commercial transportation companies, renewable energy plants and power plants. Decisions to purchase or lease our batteries and BEVs may depend on the performance of the industries of our clients and if demand for output in those industries decreases, then the demand for our products may decrease as well. Demand in these industries is impacted by numerous factors, including, but not limited to, commodity prices, infrastructure spending, fuel costs, energy demands, municipal spending and government mandates and incentives. Increases or decreases in these variables may significantly impact the demand for our products.

Many of our target clients are large commercial transportation companies, renewable energy plants and power plants, and the failure to maintain existing clients and secure new clients, withdrawal of leasing services by such clients or failure to negotiate acceptable terms in contract renewal negotiations could have an adverse impact on our business.

Although we intend to lease predominantly to commercial transportation companies, renewable energy plants and power plants, we may not be able to establish or continue our relationships with such commercial transportation companies, renewable energy plants or power plants, if customer demand is not as high as we expect or if they face pressure or contractual obligations from their existing suppliers not to purchase our products or services. We may enter into long-term contracts with certain of these commercial transportation companies, renewable energy plants and power plants, who have substantial bargaining power with respect to price and other commercial terms, and any long-term contracts would be subject to renegotiation and renewal from time to time. Failure to maintain existing clients, obtain new clients, loss of all or a substantial portion of sales to any future clients for whatever reason (including, but not limited to, loss of contracts or failure to negotiate acceptable terms in contract renewal negotiations, loss of market share by these clients, insolvency of such clients, reduced or delayed client requirements, plant shutdowns, strikes or other work stoppages affecting production by such clients) or continued reduction of prices to these clients could have a significant adverse effect on our financial results and business prospects. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain existing clients, obtain new clients or secure new contracts.

The level of any future leasing to commercial transportation companies, renewable energy plants and power plants, including the realization of future leasing services from awarded business or obtaining new business or clients, is inherently subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the number of vehicles, energy storage or grid stabilization that these commercial transportation companies, renewable energy plants and power plants actually need. Further, to the extent that the financial condition, including bankruptcy or market share, of any of our largest clients deteriorates or their sales otherwise continue to decline, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected. Accordingly, we may not in fact realize all of the future sales represented by our awarded business. Any failure to realize these sales could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We may not be able to engage target clients successfully and to convert such contacts into meaningful orders in the future.

Our success, and our ability to increase revenue and operate profitably, depends in part on our ability to identify target clients and convert target clients into meaningful orders or expand on client relationships. In some cases, certain clients will purchase our battery product samples on an early trial deployment basis, where such clients have the ability to test and evaluate whether our products meet their performance requirements before such clients commit to meaningful orders.

Our future success depends on whether our target clients are willing to use our battery products as well as whether their product lines will incorporate our battery products. If our target clients expand their product lines, we hope to be the primary supplier for their BEVs. Competition in our industry is high. To secure acceptance of our products, we must constantly develop and introduce longer-range and more cost-effective batteries with enhanced functionality and performance to meet evolving industry standards. If we are unable to meet our clients’ performance requirements or industry specifications, retain or engage with target clients, or convert early trial deployments into meaningful orders, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected.

If we are unable to establish and maintain confidence in our long-term business prospects among clients and analysts and within our industry or are subject to negative publicity, then our financial condition, operating results, business prospects and access to capital may suffer materially.

Clients may be less likely to purchase our battery products if they are not convinced that our business will succeed or that our service and support and other operations will continue in the long term. Similarly, suppliers and other third parties will be less likely to invest time and resources in developing business relationships with us if they are not convinced that our business will succeed. Accordingly, in order to build and maintain our business, we must earn and maintain confidence among clients, suppliers, analysts, ratings agencies and other parties in our products, long-term financial viability and business prospects. Maintaining such confidence may be particularly complicated by certain factors including those that are largely outside of our control, such as our limited operating history, client unfamiliarity with our battery products, any delays in scaling production, delivery and service operations to meet demand, competition, future changes in the evolving hybrid electric and electric vehicle market or uncertainty regarding our production and sales performance compared with market expectations.

If any of our battery products fails to perform as expected, our ability to develop, market and sell our products and services could be harmed.

Our battery products, such as our batteries, BEVs, and ESS, could contain defects in design and production that may cause them not to perform as expected or may require repair. We currently have a limited frame of reference by which to evaluate the performance of our products upon which our business prospects depend. There can be no assurance that we will be able to detect and fix any defects in our battery products. We may experience recalls in the future, which could adversely affect our brand and could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

Further, our products may not perform consistent with clients’ expectations. Any product defects or any other failure of our battery products to perform as expected could harm our reputation and result in lost revenue, delivery delays, product recalls, negative publicity, product liability claims and significant warranty and other expenses and could have a material adverse impact on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. Additionally, problems and defects experienced by alternative fuel commercial vehicle companies or electric consumer vehicles could by association have a negative impact on public perception and customer demand for our products.

Our battery products will require extensive safety testing prior to being offered to our lessees or installed in electric vehicles and power plants.

To achieve acceptance by our clients, including lessees, and power producers, our anticipated batteries, BEVs and ESS will have to undergo extensive safety testing. We plan to conduct preliminary safety testing for design verification of our battery products at their prototype stage. We are also subject to safety tests for

TABLE OF CONTENTS

product validation to obtain various safety standard certifications before commencing mass production of our battery products. There can be no assurance that such tests will be successful, and we may identify different or new safety issues in our development or manufacturing of the batteries, BEVs and ESS that have not been present in our prototypes. If we have to make design changes to address any safety issues, we may have to delay or suspend commercialization, which could materially damage our business, prospects, financial condition, operating results and brand.

Any decline in the value of carbon credits or carbon offsets could materially adversely affect our business.

The value of carbon credits and carbon offsets fluctuate based on market, standard-setting and regulatory forces outside our control. Although the value of carbon credits and carbon offsets has been rising in recent years, new technologies or easier carbon credit or carbon offset issuance rules, for example, may facilitate an increase in the supply of carbon credits and carbon offsets that outstrips demand, resulting in the value of carbon credits and carbon offsets to decline. Any such decline could mean demand and pricing for our carbon credit supply offerings would be adversely affected. Apart from supply and demand, the carbon credits prices may also be impacted by micro- and macro-economic conditions, general economic sentiment, international mandates, geopolitical tension, technology enhancements, inflation and currency exchange rates. Any decline in the value of carbon credits or carbon offsets could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Changes in industry standards or practices for issuance or usage of carbon credits or carbon offsets could significantly adversely affect our business.

The issuance and verification procedures, and the recommended usage, for carbon credits or carbon offsets are evolving areas. Changes in these areas could materially and adversely impact our business. Should, for example, issuance standards change such that our carbon-focused projects are not able to issue as many carbon credits or carbon offsets as projected, our available carbon credit pool will decline which will materially negatively impact our business. The demand side of the carbon credit markets are driven by a combination of industry standards and generally accepted practices and regulations. Should industry practices or recommendations change, or the regulatory environment change, there could be a potentially material and adverse effect on our business.

If verified and available carbon sequestration or carbon credits or carbon offsets are lower than projected, our business could be materially adversely affected.

We may make estimates on future carbon potential for our carbon abatement projects, specifically including nature-based projects such as reforestation (or other similar projects such as changes in soil or land management). We may rely on these and other generally available estimates for making carbon neutrality calculations, tree planting commitments and/or carbon credits sales or carbon offsets. If the actual realized carbon sequestration differs from our estimates due to factors, such as differences in survival rates or measured carbon sequestration, or changes in verification methodologies, standards, or changes in required buffer pools (including by third-party verification organizations), fewer carbon sequestration, carbon credits or carbon offsets may be realized and available, which could negatively impact our business and profitability as carbon credits and carbon offsets earned by us may be reduced and we may be required to purchase carbon credits at prevailing market rates.

We cannot guarantee that the approvals of the carbon abatement projects and issuing of Australian Carbon Credit Units (“ACCUs”) will not be revoked, cancelled or otherwise.

We operate our carbon abatement solutions in a variety of Oceanian countries, including Australia and PNG. In Australia, the carbon abatement projects and the issuing of ACCUs are subject to the approvals and regulation of the Australian government and in particular, the Clean Energy Regulator (the “CER”). Prior to issuing ACCUs, the CER reviews and considers applications for approved projects. See “Business — Government Regulations.” We cannot guarantee that such approvals and issuing of ACCUs will not be revoked, cancelled or otherwise negatively impacted, in which case our business could be materially adversely affected.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Furthermore, the regulatory bodies may impose further compliance procedures and protocols on our existing or future projects. Any such procedures or protocols will require us to adopt and incorporate any amendments to ensure full and complete compliance of law and regulations. This may result in the delay of carrying out our existing projects, and may also impact the development of our future business activities. The regulation of the ACCUs is subject to government policy changes, and we cannot guarantee that our current business activities will not be impacted by any future amendments to laws and regulations governing the carbon abatement industry.

If we cannot acquire all interested parties’ consent for the carbon abatement projects, or if there is any deficiency in the ownership interests in the properties of the projects, our business could be materially adversely affected.

The carbon abatement project procurement stage may involve several parties with varying interests, which mainly includes landowners, but sometimes also a bank or a lending institution if there is a mortgage on the property to obtain consent or a “no objection certificate” from the lender to file and obtain carbon credits. For certain carbon abatement projects, we may not only need to obtain consent from a single landowner but multiple landowners to tie up contiguous land parcels for carrying out such projects. When we negotiate with the interested parties, we cannot guarantee that we are able to acquire the consent from all of them. If we are not able to do so, the projects will not be carried out according to the planned timetable, and our business could be materially adversely affected. In addition, if there is any deficiency or controversy in the title or ownership of any property which is the subject of a carbon abatement project, we will need to seek to ensure our legitimate business interests as protected, which may result in limiting the resources being applied to our business activities. Furthermore, if we are unsuccessful in protecting our legitimate business interests, our business operations could be materially adversely affected.

Any non-compliance of the landowners on their contractual obligations may affect our carbon abatement solutions business.

Due to the growth of our carbon abatement projects requiring large areas of land, access to land is an integral part of our business activities. In particular, unrestricted access to use and control the land is important to maintain and further our business activities. However, we are generally not the registered owner of any real property, and entirely rely on the licenses and/or agreements in place with the registered landowners and their compliance with their respective contractual obligations. If the landowners do not have valid licenses or approvals, or do not comply with legal requirements or contractual obligations, we may not be able to maintain the necessary rights required for our business activities and therefore it could affect our business operations.

We may not succeed in establishing, maintaining and strengthening our brand, which would materially and adversely affect client acceptance of our technologies and our business, revenues and prospects.

Our business and prospects depend on our ability to develop, maintain and strengthen our brand. If we are not able to establish, maintain and strengthen our brand, we may lose the opportunity to build a critical mass of clients. The battery and EV industry is intensely competitive, and we may not be successful in building, maintaining and strengthening our brand. Our potential competitors, including many battery manufacturers and automotive OEMs around the world, have greater name recognition, broader client relationships and substantially greater marketing resources than we do. If we do not develop and maintain a strong brand, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results will be materially and adversely impacted.

We operate in an extremely competitive industry and are subject to pricing pressures. Further, many other battery manufacturers have significantly greater resources than we do.

We compete with a number of major international manufacturers and distributors, as well as a number of smaller, regional competitors. We expect competition to become more intense as zero-emission transportation is becoming the mainstream with an increasing number of participants in the industry. Increased competition may result in declines in average selling prices, causing a decrease in margins. Due to

TABLE OF CONTENTS

excess capacity in some sectors of our industry and consolidation among industrial battery purchasers, we may be subjected to significant pricing pressures.

Many of our competitors have greater financial, personnel, technical, manufacturing, marketing, sales and other resources than we do, which may place us at a competitive disadvantage. In addition, certain of our competitors may have a lower overall cost structure. As a result, these competitors may be in a stronger position to respond quickly to market opportunities, new or emerging technologies and evolving industry standards. Many of our competitors are developing a variety of battery technologies, such as solid state batteries and fuel cell, which are expected to compete with our existing product lines. It is possible that our competitors will be able to introduce new products with more desirable features than ours and their new products will gain greater market acceptance. If our competitors successfully do so, we may not be able to maintain our competitive position and our business and future success would be materially and adversely affected.

We anticipate continued competitive pricing pressure as other producers may be able to employ labor at significantly lower costs, expand their export capacity and increase their marketing presence in our major end markets. Several of our competitors have strong technical, marketing, sales, manufacturing, distribution and other resources, as well as significant name recognition, established positions in the market and long-standing relationships with our industry’s potential client base. In addition, certain of our competitors may have long-standing relationships with suppliers, which may provide them with a competitive pricing advantage and reduce their exposure to volatile raw material costs. Our ability to maintain and improve our operating margins has depended, and continues to depend, on our ability to control and reduce our costs. We cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to control our operating expenses, to raise or maintain our prices or increase our unit volume, in order to maintain or improve our operating results.

The uncertainty in global economic conditions could negatively affect our operating results.

Our operating results are directly affected by the general global economic conditions of the industries in which our major client groups operate. Our business segments are highly dependent on the economic and market conditions in each of the geographic areas in which we operate. Leasing of our batteries, BEVs and ESS, for example, depend significantly on demand for new electric vehicle transportation or ride-sharing companies. The uncertainty in global economic conditions varies by geographic segment and can result in substantial volatility in global credit markets. These conditions affect our business by reducing prices that our clients may be able or willing to pay for our products or by reducing the demand for our products, which could in turn negatively impact our sales and result in a material adverse effect on our business, cash flow, results of operations and financial condition.

Substantial increases in the prices for our raw materials and components, some of which are obtained from a limited number of sources where demand may exceed supply, could materially and adversely affect our business.

We rely on third-party suppliers for components and equipment necessary to develop our products, including key supplies, such as polyimide substrate, organic beads, LMFP cathode material and separator manufacturing machine, for our battery products. We face risks relating to the availability of these materials and components, including that we will be subject to demand shortages and supply chain challenges, especially in the context of the current COVID-19 pandemic, and generally may not have sufficient purchasing power to eliminate the risk of price increases for the raw materials and tools we need. Further, certain components, including drying furnace, 3-layer die, charging and discharging equipment, IC chips and CPUs, have a long lead time which require us to order well in advance to support our proposed commercial operations. To mitigate the supply chain risks, we are adopting an all-round strategy of collaborating with many automaker partners and OEM suppliers. However, to the extent that we are unable to enter into commercial agreements with our prospective suppliers or our replacement suppliers on favorable terms, or these suppliers experience difficulties meeting our requirements, the development and commercial progression of our battery products and related technologies may be delayed.

Separately, we may be subject to various supply chain requirements regarding, among other things, conflict minerals and labor practices. We may be required to incur substantial costs to comply with these requirements, which may include locating new suppliers if certain issues are discovered. We may not be able

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to find any new suppliers for certain raw materials or components required for our operations, or such suppliers may be unwilling or unable to provide us with products.

Any disruption in the supply of components, equipment or materials could temporarily disrupt production of our battery product until an alternative supplier is able to supply the required material. Changes in business conditions, unforeseen circumstances, governmental changes, and other factors beyond our control or which we do not presently anticipate, could also affect our suppliers’ ability to deliver components or equipment to us on a timely basis. Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Currency fluctuations, trade barriers, tariffs or shortages and other general economic or political conditions may limit our ability to obtain key components or equipment for our battery products or significantly increase freight charges, raw material costs and other expenses associated with our business, which could further materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Entering into strategic alliances could expose us to risks.

We have entered into several memorandums of understanding (“MOUs”) for, and may in the future enter into additional, strategic alliances, including joint ventures or minority equity investments, with various third parties to further our business. For example, on November 14, 2022, we entered into a MOU with a view to joining forces with EV Dynamics to form a joint venture. See “noco-noco’s Business — Partnerships” for more details. Our strategic alliance with EV Dynamics will allow us to carry out a carbon-free bus leasing business to EV Dynamics’ existing clients as well as other new clients.

While offering potential benefits, these strategic alliances could subject us to a number of risks, including risks associated with sharing proprietary information, non-performance by the partners and increased expenses in establishing new strategic alliances, any of which may materially and adversely affect our business. We may have limited ability to monitor or control the actions of these partners and, to the extent any of these strategic partners suffers negative publicity or harm to their reputation from events relating to their business, we may also suffer negative publicity or harm to our reputation by virtue of our association with any such partner. For example, if we rely on certain strategic partner’s manufacturing facilities to produce our battery products, those operations would be outside of our control. We could experience delays if our partners do not meet agreed upon timelines, satisfy legal, industry or our client’s requirements, or experience capacity constraints, and in turn, we could lose clients and face reputational harm.

Further, there is risk of potential disputes with the strategic partners, and we could be affected by adverse publicity related to our partners whether or not such publicity is related to their collaboration with us. Our ability to successfully build a premium brand could also be adversely affected by perceptions about the quality of our partners’ products. Our OEM partners may also have economic, business, or legal interests or goals that are inconsistent with ours. As a result, it may be challenging for us to resolve issues that arise in respect of the performance of our agreements or MOUs with them, and such issues might impact development work underway under the agreements or MOUs.

Any significant disagreements with them, and especially if we become dependent on that OEM partner for our research and development efforts, may impede our ability to maximize the benefits of our partnerships and slow the commercial roll-out of our battery products. In addition, if our partners are unable or unwilling to meet their economic or other obligations under the agreements or MOUs, we may be required to fulfill those obligations alone, which could delay research and development progress and otherwise negatively impact our business and financial results. Furthermore, the relationships we have with our existing partners and the rights our partners have under their respective agreements or MOUs, may deter other OEMs from working with us. If we are not able to establish or expand our partnership with other OEMs, our business and prospects could be materially harmed.

We are dependent on our suppliers to fulfill our clients’ orders, and if we fail to manage our relationships effectively with, or lose the services of, these suppliers and cannot substitute suitable alternative suppliers, our operations would be materially adversely affected.

We rely on our suppliers for the provision of raw materials, automaker partners and OEM suppliers for the manufacturing of our battery products, including battery separators, cells and packs, BEVs and ESS.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

While we plan to engage multiple suppliers, automakers and OEMs whenever possible, the inability of our suppliers to deliver the raw materials and battery products manufactured by them at prices, volumes, performance and specifications acceptable to us could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. In addition, because we rely on our suppliers and partners to provide raw materials or manufacture battery products that meet our quality standards, there can be no assurance that we can successfully receive quality materials or products from our suppliers and partners that satisfy our quality standards. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Our failure to keep up with rapid technological changes and evolving industry standards may cause our products to become obsolete and less marketable.

The battery market is characterized by changing technologies and evolving industry standards, which are difficult to predict. This, coupled with frequent introduction of new products and models, has shortened product life cycles and may render our products obsolete or unmarketable. Our ability to adapt to evolving industry standards and anticipate future standards and market trends will be a significant factor in maintaining and improving our prospects for growth. R&D activities, however, are inherently uncertain and require significant costs, and we might encounter practical difficulties in commercializing our new technologies licensed from 3DOM Alliance. On the other hand, our competitors may improve their technologies or even achieve technological breakthroughs that would render our products obsolete or less marketable. Therefore, our failure to effectively keep up with rapid technological changes and evolving industry standards by introducing new and enhanced products may cause us to lose our clients and to suffer a decrease in our revenue.

If we cannot continue to develop new products in a timely manner and at favorable margins, we may not be able to compete effectively.

The battery industry has been notable for the pace of innovations in product life, product design and applied technology. We and our competitors have made and continue to make, investments in innovating and improving our products. Our ability to create new products and line extensions and to sustain existing products is affected by whether we can, among other things:

•

license-in on favorable termsand and maintain innovative intellectual property and technologies from 3DOM Alliance and its licensors;

•

obtain governmental approvals and registrations;

•

comply with governmental regulations; and

•

anticipate client needs and preferences successfully.

The failure to develop and launch successful new products and any delay in the development or launch of a new product could hinder the growth of our business. In addition, if competitors introduce new or enhanced products that significantly outperform ours, or if they develop or apply manufacturing technology that permits them to manufacture at a significantly lower cost relative to ours, we may be unable to compete successfully in the market segments affected by these changes.

We may obtain licenses on technology that has not been commercialized or has been commercialized only to a limited extent, and the success of our business may be adversely affected if such technology does not perform as expected.

From time to time, we may license from third parties, including 3DOM Alliance, technologies that have not been commercialized or which have been commercialized only to a limited extent. These technologies may not perform as expected within the markets for our battery products. If the cost, performance characteristics, manufacturing process or other specifications of these licensed technologies fall short of our targets, our projected sales, costs, time to market, future product pricing and potential operating margins may be adversely affected.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Developments in alternative technology may adversely affect the demand for our battery products.

Significant developments in alternative technologies, such as advanced diesel, ethanol or natural gas, or breathing batteries, may materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results in ways that we may not currently anticipate. Existing and other battery technologies, fuels or sources of energy may emerge as clients’ preferred alternatives to our battery products. Any failure by us to develop new or enhanced technologies or processes, or to react to changes in existing technologies, could materially delay our development and introduction of new and enhanced alternative products, which could result in decreased revenue and a loss of market share to our competitors.

We rely on 3DOM Alliance’s R&D efforts which may not be sufficient to adapt to changes in alternative fuel and electric vehicle technology. As technologies evolve, we will need to upgrade or adapt our clean energy solutions with the latest technology, in particular our licensed-in long-life battery technology, and developing intelligent battery systems with CPUs and IoT devices attached, in order to leverage on our own-and-lease model. However, we may not compete effectively with alternative systems if we are not able to source and integrate the latest technology into our battery products.

Our products could have undetected defects, errors or bugs in hardware, firmware or software, which could reduce market adoption, damage our reputation with prospective clients, and/or expose us to product liability and other claims that could materially and adversely affect our business.

We may be subject to claims that our products have malfunctioned and persons were injured or purported to be injured due to latent defects. Any insurance that we carry may not be sufficient or it may not apply to all situations. Similarly, to the extent that such malfunctions are related to components obtained from third-party vendors, such vendors may not assume responsibility for such malfunctions. Any of these events could adversely affect our brand, reputation, financial condition or results of operations.

Any defects or errors in product or services offerings, or the perception of such defects or errors, or other performance problems could result in any of the following, each of which could adversely affect our business and results of operations:

•

expenditure of significant financial and product development resources, including recalls, in efforts to analyze, correct, eliminate or work around errors or defects;

•

loss of existing or potential clients or partners;

•

interruptions or delays in sales;

•

equipment replacements;

•

delayed or lost revenue;

•

delay or failure to attain market acceptance;

•

delay in the development or release of new functionality or improvements;

•

negative publicity and reputational harm;

•

sales credits or refunds;

•

exposure of confidential or proprietary information;

•

diversion of development and client service resources;

•

breach of warranty claims;

•

legal claims under applicable laws, rules and regulations; and

•

the expense and risk of litigation.

We also face the risk that any contractual protections we seek to include in our agreements with clients are rejected, not implemented uniformly or may not fully or effectively protect from claims by clients, business partners or other third parties. In addition, any insurance coverage or indemnification obligations of suppliers for our benefit may not adequately cover all such claims, or cover only a portion of such claims. A successful product liability, warranty, or other similar claim could have an adverse effect on our business,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

financial condition and results of operations. In addition, even claims that ultimately are unsuccessful could result in expenditure of funds in litigation, divert management’s time and other resources and cause reputational harm.

We are subject to risks relating to production scale manufacturing of our battery products, including battery separators, cells and packs, BEVs and ESS through partners in the longer term.

Our business plan contemplates that automakers and OEMs will manufacture our battery products, including battery separators, cells and packs, BEVs, and ESS, using our unique pre-calculated and calibrated manufacturing process. However, modifying or constructing these lines for production of our products could be more complicated or present significant challenges to our manufacturing partners that we do not currently anticipate. As with any large-scale capital project, any modification or construction of this nature could be subject to delays, cost overruns or other complications. Any failure to commence commercial production on schedule likely would lead to additional costs and could delay our ability to generate meaningful revenues. In addition, any such delay could diminish any “first mover” advantage we aim to attain, prevent us from gaining the confidence of OEMs and open the door to increased competition. All of the foregoing could hinder our ability to successfully launch and grow our business and achieve a competitive position in the market.

Further, collaboration with third parties to manufacture our battery products reduces our level of control over the process. We could experience delays if our partners do not meet agreed upon timelines or experience capacity constraints. There is risk of potential disputes with partners, which could stop or slow production, and we could be affected by adverse publicity related to our partners, whether or not such publicity is related to such third parties’ collaboration with us. In addition, we cannot guarantee that our suppliers will not deviate from agreed-upon quality standards.

We may be unable to enter into agreements with manufacturers on terms and conditions acceptable to us and therefore we may need to contract with other third parties or create our own commercial production capacity. We may not be able to engage other third parties or establish or expand our own production capacity to meet our needs on acceptable terms, or at all. The expense and time required to adequately complete any transition may be greater than anticipated. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Manufacturing or use of our products may cause accidents, which could result in significant production interruption, delay or claims for substantial damages.

Due to the high energy density inherent in lithium-based batteries, our batteries can pose certain safety risks, including the risk of fire or explosion. Our battery risk management system provides early warning signals of battery faults or malfunction, but accidents causing death or personal injury or property damage can still occur. Although safety procedures is also incorporated in the research, development, manufacture and transportation of batteries that are designed to minimize safety risks, the manufacture or use of our products may still cause accidents. Any accident, whether occurring at the manufacturing facilities or from the use of our products, may result in significant production interruption, delays or claims for substantial damages caused by personal injuries or property damage.

We are subject to regulations regarding the storage and handling of various products. We may become subject to product liability claims, which could harm our financial condition and liquidity if we are not able to successfully defend or insure against such claims.

We may become subject to product liability claims which could harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition. We face inherent risk of exposure to claims in the event our batteries do not perform as expected or malfunction resulting in personal injury or death. Our risks in this area are particularly pronounced given our X SEPA separator and lithium manganese iron phosphate (LMFP) cathode are still in the development stage and have not yet been commercially mass produced. A successful product liability claim against us could require us to pay a substantial monetary award. Moreover, a product liability claim could generate substantial negative publicity about our technology and business and inhibit or prevent commercialization of our battery products and future product candidates, which would have a material adverse effect on our brand, business, prospects and operating results. Any insurance coverage might

TABLE OF CONTENTS

not be sufficient to cover all potential product liability claims. Any lawsuit seeking significant monetary damages either in excess of our coverage, or outside of our coverage, may have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business and financial condition. We may not be able to secure product liability insurance coverage on commercially acceptable terms or at reasonable costs when needed.

Our BEVs and our batteries as components of BEVs are subject to motor vehicle standards and the failure of the vehicles to satisfy such mandated safety standards could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our products, our business and our operating results.

All vehicles and batteries installed in the vehicles sold or leased must comply with applicable international and local motor vehicle safety standards, which vary by national and local jurisdictions. Rigorous testing and the use of approved materials and equipment are among the requirements for achieving certain mandatory certifications. Failure by our vehicle manufacturing clients to satisfy motor vehicle standards could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

Moreover, we may incur our own significant costs in complying with these regulations. Regulations related to the electric vehicle industry and alternative energy are currently evolving and we face risks associated with the application of these regulations and changes to these regulations.

To the extent the laws become more stringent or otherwise change, our BEVs and/or our batteries may not comply with applicable international or local laws, which would have an adverse effect on our business. Compliance with changing regulations could be burdensome, time consuming, and expensive. To the extent compliance with new regulations is cost prohibitive, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results would be adversely affected.

There may be laws in jurisdictions we have not yet entered or laws of which we are unaware in jurisdictions we have entered that may restrict our sales or other business practices. Even for those jurisdictions we have analyzed, the laws in this area can be complex, difficult to interpret and may change over time. Continued regulatory limitations and other obstacles interfering with our or our client’s ability to sell products could have a negative and material impact on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Future product recalls could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

Any product recall in the future, whether it involves our or a competitor’s product, may result in negative publicity, damage our brand and materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. In the future, we may voluntarily or involuntarily, initiate a recall if any of our products that are proven or possibly could be defective or noncompliant with applicable federal motor vehicle safety standards. Such recalls involve significant expense and diversion of management attention and other resources, which could adversely affect our brand image, as well as our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

We were granted the exclusive license on certain patents and other pending patent applications from 3DOM Alliance pursuant to a license-in agreement entered into on November 22, 2022. The pending patent applications under such license-in agreement may not result in issued patents and the licensed patents may be invalidated or narrowly interpreted, in which event our competitiveness and value may be undermined.

Our key technological innovations, including innovations that are currently commercialized in our products and innovations that we plan to deploy in the future, are described in numerous issued patents and pending patent applications that we licensed from 3DOM Alliance. There is no assurance that the pending applications will result in issued patents. Further, we cannot guarantee that our use of these patents and associated inventions will not infringe upon rights of third parties. Also, to the extent that we endeavor to enforce our currently issued licensed patents or any patents that will be issued in the future, an alleged infringer may be able to assert that it has not infringed any claim of the applicable patent(s) and that the applicable patent(s) is in any event invalid or unenforceable. There can be no assurance that we will overcome those defenses. Further, if one or more of our patents are held to be invalid or unenforceable, or if claims of

TABLE OF CONTENTS

those patents are interpreted narrowly, or if patents fail to issue from our pending applications, our competitiveness and value may be undermined.

We rely heavily on the exclusively-licensed intellectual properties and technologies, which includes patent rights, trade secrets, trademarks, and know-how. If we are unable to protect and maintain access to these intellectual property rights, our business and competitive position would be harmed.

We may not be able to prevent unauthorized use of our exclusively-licensed intellectual property, which could harm our business and competitive position. We rely on a combination of the intellectual property protections afforded by patent, trademark and trade secret laws in Japan, Singapore and other jurisdictions, as well as license agreements and other contractual protections, to establish, maintain and enforce rights and competitive advantage in our licensed-in technologies. Third parties, including our business partners, may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use our intellectual property without our consent or may decline to license or defend necessary intellectual property rights to us on terms favorable to our business. Third parties may also attempt to challenge our use of certain intellectual property rights, particularly in countries where we do not hold patent rights. Monitoring unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult and costly, and the steps we have taken or will take to prevent misappropriation may not be sufficient. Any enforcement efforts we undertake, including litigation, could require involvement of the licensor, be time-consuming and expensive, and could divert management’s attention, all of which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, existing intellectual property laws and contractual remedies may afford less protection than needed to safeguard our licensed-in technologies. All of our patent rights have been obtained through an exclusive license-in agreement from 3DOM Alliance. Because we do not own those patent rights, we have less control over their validity, maintenance and enforcement, which could harm our ability to maintain any competitive advantage those patent rights provide.

Any registrations for the intellectual property rights we own or license are constrained to the country in which the rights were issued or obtained. Many of the patents we license are not yet registered and are currently under review by the respective patent offices. Our efforts to protect against the unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights, technology and other licensed-in rights in those countries where our intellectual property is under review or not registered may be impossible. With respect to jurisdictions where our intellectual property is already registered, patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws vary significantly throughout the world. A number of foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as Japan and Singapore. Therefore, our intellectual property rights may not be as strong or as easily enforced in some foreign countries, and efforts to protect against the unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights, technology and other licensed-in rights may be impossible in those countries. Failure to adequately protect or be able to use our exclusively-licensed intellectual property rights could result in our competitors using our intellectual property to offer products, potentially resulting in the loss of some of our competitive advantage, a decrease in our revenue and reputational harm caused by inferior products offered by third parties, which would adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

We are unable to guarantee that our technology, or its ultimate integration into electric vehicle battery packs, does not infringe intellectual property rights of third parties. We may need to defend ourselves against intellectual property infringement claims, which may be time-consuming and could cause us to incur substantial costs.

Companies, organizations or individuals, including our current and future competitors, may hold or obtain patents, trademarks or other proprietary rights that would prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to make, use, develop, sell, license, lease or market our products or technologies, which could make it more difficult for us to operate our business. From time to time, we may receive inquiries from third parties relating to whether we are infringing their intellectual property rights and/or seek court declarations that they do not infringe upon our intellectual property rights. Companies holding patents or other intellectual property rights relating to batteries may bring suits alleging infringement of such rights or otherwise asserting their rights and seeking licenses. In addition, if we are determined to have infringed upon a third party’s intellectual property rights, we may be required to do one or more of the following:

•

cease selling, leasing, incorporating or using products that incorporate the challenged intellectual property;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

pay substantial damages;

•

materially alter our research and development activities and proposed production processes;

•

obtain a license from the holder of the infringed intellectual property right, which may not be available on reasonable terms or at all; or

•

redesign our battery cells at significant expense.

In the event of a successful claim of infringement against us and our failure or inability to obtain a license to continue to use the technology on reasonable terms, our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In addition, any litigation or claims, whether or not well-founded, could result in substantial costs, negative publicity, reputational harm and diversion of resources and management’s attention.

Third-party claims or litigation alleging infringement of patents or infringement or misappropriation of other proprietary rights, or seeking to invalidate our patents may adversely affect our business.

Our success depends in part on our avoiding infringement, misappropriation and other violations of the patents and other intellectual property rights of third parties. Claims of infringement, misappropriation, or other violation of patents or other intellectual property rights are often expensive and time-consuming to defend, and if we were unsuccessful in defense of such claims we could be forced to stop use of certain technologies and/or pay damages or on-going royalties. It is possible that at any time third-parties could attempt to assert an infringement or misappropriation claims if they believe our technology violates their intellectual property rights.

Some of our competitors may have more resources than we do to pursue claims of infringement or misappropriation. We may conclude that even if they are infringing our patents or other intellectual property rights, the risk-adjusted costs of bringing claims against them may be too high or otherwise not in your interest.

If we are unable to grow, or if we fail to manage future growth effectively, our revenue may not increase and we may be unable to implement our business strategy.

Our future success depends upon our ability to grow, and if we are unable to manage our growth effectively, we may incur unexpected expenses and be unable to meet our clients’ requirements, all of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. To manage our current and anticipated future growth effectively, we must continue to maintain and enhance our infrastructure, financial and accounting systems and controls. We must also attract, train and retain a significant number of engineers, sales and marketing personnel, client support personnel, professional services personnel, software engineers, technical personnel and management personnel, and the availability of such personnel may be constrained.

As we continue to grow, including from the integration of employees and businesses acquired in connection with previous or future acquisitions, we may find it difficult to maintain important aspects of our corporate culture, which could negatively affect our profitability and our ability to retain and recruit qualified personnel who are essential for our future success. If we do not effectively manage our growth, we may not be able to execute on our business plan, respond to competitive pressures, take advantage of market opportunities, satisfy client requirements or manufacture high-quality products. Additionally, we may not be able to expand and upgrade our infrastructure to accommodate future growth.

Failure to effectively manage our growth could also lead us to over-invest or under-invest in development and operations; result in weaknesses in our infrastructure, systems or controls; give rise to operational mistakes, financial losses, loss of productivity or business opportunities; and result in loss of employees and reduced productivity of remaining employees. Our growth is expected to require significant capital expenditures and may divert financial resources from other projects such as the development of new products and services. If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, our expenses may increase more than expected, our revenue may not increase or may grow more slowly than expected and we may be unable to implement our business strategy. Further, any failure to manage our growth effectively could materially

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and adversely affect our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition. We intend to expand our operations significantly which we expect our future expansion to include, among other things:

•

expanding the management team;

•

hiring and training new personnel;

•

leveraging consultants to assist with company growth and development;

•

conducting market research and analysis;

•

controlling expenses and investments in anticipation of expanded operations;

•

expanding design, production, and service departments;

•

implementing and enhancing administrative infrastructure, systems and processes; and

•

expanding our market share in international markets.

Our operating and financial results forecast relies in large part upon assumptions and analyses developed by us. If these assumptions or analyses prove to be incorrect, our actual operating results may be materially different from our forecasted results.

The projected financial and operating information appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus/information statement reflect current estimates of future performance. Whether actual operating and financial results and business developments will be consistent with our expectations and assumptions as reflected in our forecasts depends on a number of factors, many of which are outside our control, including, but not limited to:

•

success and timing of development activity;

•

client acceptance of our products;

•

competition, including from established and future competitors;

•

whether we can obtain sufficient capital to sustain and grow our business;

•

our ability to manage our growth;

•

whether we can manage relationships with key clients and suppliers;

•

our ability to retain existing key management, integrate recent hires and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel; and

•

the overall strength and stability of domestic and international economies.

Unfavorable changes in any of these or other factors, most of which are beyond our control, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial results.

If the estimates and assumptions we use to determine the size of our total addressable market are inaccurate, our future growth rate may be affected and our business would be harmed.

Market estimates and growth forecasts are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates that may prove to be inaccurate. Even if the market in which we compete meets our size estimates and forecasted growth, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all. Our market opportunity is also based on the assumption that our existing and future offerings will be more attractive to our clients than competing products. If these assumptions prove inaccurate, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected. For more information regarding our estimates of market opportunity and the forecasts of market growth included in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, see “Industry Overview Relating to noco-noco’s Business” and “noco-noco’s Business — Our Market Opportunities.”

We are subject to requirements relating to environmental and safety regulations and environmental remediation matters which could adversely affect our business, results of operation and reputation.

Our operations are subject to environmental, health and safety rules laws and regulations laws and regulations including those governing hazardous material handling, transportation, and cleanup and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

occupational safety and health. There are significant capital, operating and other costs associated with compliance with these environmental laws and regulations. Environmental laws and regulations may become more stringent in the future, which could increase costs of compliance or require us to manufacture with alternative technologies and materials.

We have not yet commenced mass production for our battery products. When mass production is commenced, we will engage OEM suppliers for the manufacturing of our battery products. The manufacturing process will have hazards such as but not limited to hazardous materials, machines with moving parts, and high voltage and/or high current electrical systems typical of large manufacturing equipment and related safety incidents. There may be safety incidents that damage machinery or product, slow or stop production, or harm employees. Consequences may include litigation, regulation, fines, increased insurance premiums, mandates to temporarily halt production, workers’ compensation claims, or other actions that impact our company brand, finances, or ability to operate.

While we require that our OEMs and other suppliers have reasonably designed and implemented policies and programs to assure compliance with these laws and regulations and to avoid hazardous substance release lability, there can be no guarantee that the substantial costs incurred by new or more stringent compliance obligations will not be passed on to us.

Regulatory actions, legal proceedings and customer complaints against us could harm our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. Our directors, management, shareholders and employees may also from time to time be subject to legal proceedings, which could adversely affect our reputation and results of operations.

Along with growth and expansion of our business, we may be involved in litigation, regulatory proceedings and other disputes arising in or outside the ordinary course of our business. In general, such litigation and disputes may result in claims for actual damages, freezing of our assets, diversion of our management’s attention and reputational damage to us and our management, and the probability and amount of liability, if any, may remain unknown for long periods of time. Given the uncertainty, complexity and scope of many of these litigation matters, their outcome generally cannot be predicted with any reasonable degree of certainty. Therefore, our reserves for such matters may be inadequate. Moreover, even if we eventually prevail in these matters, we could incur significant legal fees or suffer significant reputational harm, which may negatively affect our operating results if changes to our business operations are required. There may also be negative publicity associated with litigation that could decrease consumer acceptance of our product offerings, regardless of whether the allegations are valid or whether we are ultimately found liable. In addition, our directors, management, shareholders and employees may from time to time be subject to litigation, regulatory investigations, proceedings and/or negative publicity or otherwise face potential liability and expense in relation to commercial, labor, employment, securities or other matters, which could adversely affect our reputation and results of operations. As a result, litigation may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. See “noco-noco’s Business — Legal Proceedings” for more details.

We may be subject to declining average selling and leasing prices, which may harm our revenue and gross profits.

Electric vehicles, light electric vehicles and energy storage systems are subject to declines in average selling and leasing prices due to rapidly evolving technologies, industry standards and consumer preferences. As a result, our clients may expect us as suppliers to cut our costs and lower the price of our products in order to mitigate the negative impact on their own margins.

We expect to face possible market-driven downward pricing pressures in the future. Our revenue and profitability will suffer if we are unable to offset any declines in our average selling or leasing prices by developing new or enhanced products with higher prices or gross profit margins, increasing our sales or leasing volumes or reducing the material costs of our products on a timely basis.

Our battery products rely on software and hardware that are highly technical, and if these systems contain errors, bugs or vulnerabilities, or if we are unsuccessful in addressing or mitigating technical limitations in our systems, our business could be adversely affected.

Our products rely on software and hardware, including software and hardware developed or maintained internally or by third parties, that are highly technical and complex and will require modification and updates

TABLE OF CONTENTS

over the life of a battery product. Certain of our products depend on the ability of such software and hardware to store, retrieve, process and manage immense amounts of data. Our hardware and software or third party components and software that we utilize in our products may also contain defects in design or manufacture, including “bugs” and other problems that could unexpectedly interfere with the operation or security of the products. In addition, our systems are subject to certain technical limitations that may compromise our ability to meet the objectives. Some errors, bugs or vulnerabilities inherently may be difficult to detect and may only be discovered after the code has been released for external or internal use. Although we attempt to remedy any issues that we observe in our products as effectively and rapidly as possible, such efforts may not be timely, may hamper production, or may not be to the satisfaction of our clients. If we are unable to prevent or effectively remedy errors, bugs, vulnerabilities or defects in our software and hardware, we may suffer damage to our brand, loss of clients, loss of revenue or liability for damages, any of which could adversely affect our business and financial results.

The unavailability, reduction or elimination of government and economic incentives due to policy changes or government regulation could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

Any reduction, elimination or discriminatory application of government subsidies and economic incentives because of policy changes, the reduced need for such subsidies and incentives due to the perceived success of the electric vehicle industry or other reasons may result in the diminished competitiveness of the alternative fuel and electric vehicle industry generally or our battery power solutions. While certain tax credits and other incentives for alternative energy production, alternative fuel and electric vehicles have been available in the past, there is no guarantee these programs will be available in the future or that they will remain at current levels. In particular, our business will be affected by local and foreign tax credits, rebates, grants and other government programs and incentives that promote the use of electric vehicles. Additionally, our business will be affected by laws, rules and regulations that require reductions in carbon emissions or the use of renewable fuels. These programs and regulations, which have the effect of encouraging the demand for electric vehicles, could expire or be repealed or amended for a variety of reasons. For example, parties with an interest in gasoline and diesel, natural gas or other alternative vehicles or vehicle fuels, including lawmakers, regulators, policymakers, environmental or advocacy organizations, OEMs, trade groups, suppliers or other powerful groups, may invest significant time and money in efforts to delay, repeal or otherwise negatively influence regulations and programs that promote battery powered vehicles. Many of these parties have substantially greater resources and influence than we have. Further, changes in local or foreign political, social or economic conditions, including a lack of legislative focus on these programs and regulations, could result in their modification, delayed adoption or repeal. Any failure to adopt, delay in implementation, expiration, repeal or modification of these programs and regulations, or the adoption of any programs or regulations that encourage the use of other alternative fuels or alternative vehicles over battery power, would reduce the market for batteries as a source of power and harm our operating results, liquidity and financial condition.

We will face risks associated with potential international operations, including unfavorable local regulatory, political, tax and labor conditions, which could harm our business.

We will face risks associated with any potential international operations, including possible unfavorable local regulatory, political, tax and labor conditions, which could harm our business. We anticipate having subsidiaries that are subject to the legal, political, regulatory and social requirements and economic conditions in international jurisdictions. We may be subject to a number of risks associated with international business activities that may increase our costs, impact our ability to manufacture, sell or lease our products and require significant management attention. These risks include, but are not limited to:

•

conforming our products to various international regulatory requirements where those products are sold or leased, which requirements may change over time;

•

local and foreign government trade restrictions, tariffs and price or exchange controls;

•

changes in diplomatic and trade relationships;

•

political instability, civil disturbances, war, military conflict, religious or ethnic strife, terrorism and general security concerns;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

the occurrence of severe health epidemics, pandemics or other disease outbreaks; and

•

the strength of international economies.

If we fail to address these risks successfully, our business and prospects could be negatively impacted.

Our operations and investments are located in Asia-Pacific and we are therefore exposed to various risks inherent in operating and investing in the region.

We will be focusing primarily on the Asia-Pacific market, including but not limited to Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, India, Australia, and PNG, which means that other than assets located in and most of the income derived from our Singapore and Australia business, our assets and income are located in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries are typically subject to greater political, policy, legal, economic, taxation and other risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the risk of expropriation, nationalization and commercial or governmental disputes, inflation, interest rate and currency fluctuations and greater difficulty in enforcing or collecting payment against contracts or in having certainty that all required governmental and regulatory approvals necessary to run our business are in place and will be renewed. Asian markets are inherently non-homogenous and require bespoke business models for each country in which we operate which adds complexity and reduces economies of scale.

Emerging market countries where we operate may have less sophisticated legal, taxation and regulatory systems and frameworks, including but not limited to unexpected changes in, or inconsistent application, interpretation or enforcement of, applicable laws and regulatory requirements. In particular, because legislation and other laws and regulations in emerging markets are often undeveloped, it is frequently difficult to interpret those laws and regulations with certainty. Regulatory authorities may adopt different interpretations to the PubCo or may revise laws, regulations or interpretations, potentially with retrospective effect, in ways that adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or results of operations. This gives rise to increased risks relating to labor practices, foreign ownership restrictions, tax regulation and enforcement, difficulty in enforcing contracts, changes to or uncertainty in the relevant legal and regulatory regimes and other issues in the markets where we operate or may in the future operate. Such risks could interrupt or adversely impact some or all of our business and may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Most of the countries we will be focusing on have experienced political and social instability at various times in the past, including but not limited to acts of political violence and civil unrest. These countries also have been subject to a number of terrorist attacks and other destabilizing events, which have led to economic and social volatility. There can be no assurance that similar destabilizing events will not occur in the future. Any such destabilizing events could interrupt and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Investors should also note that emerging markets are also subject to rapid change. An increase in the perceived risks associated with investing in emerging economies could reduce foreign investment in these countries, which may have a materially adverse impact on the battery markets in those places, or make it more difficult for us to obtain debt and equity financing, which could adversely affect our financial capacity to meet our business objectives and therefore adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates will affect our financial results, which we report in U.S. Dollars.

We plan to operate in multiple jurisdictions, which exposes us to the effects of fluctuations in currency exchange rates. We may earn revenue in Singaporean Dollars, Australia Dollars, Thai Baht, Indonesian Rupiah, Indian Rupee, Philippine Peso and PNG Kina among other currencies. Our consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars, which is the functional currency of noco-noco. Fluctuations in the exchange rates between the various currencies that we use could result in expenses being higher and revenue being lower than would be the case if exchange rates were stable. We cannot assure you that movements in foreign currency exchange rates will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in future periods. Furthermore, a substantial amount of our revenue is denominated in emerging

TABLE OF CONTENTS

markets currencies. Because fluctuations in the value of emerging markets currencies are not necessarily correlated, there can be no assurance that our results of operations will not be adversely affected by such volatility.

Changes in public policies affecting the development and more widespread adoption of electric vehicles could affect the demand for our products.

We mainly offer leasing services of our battery products, including batteries, BEVs and ESS, and manage carbon abatement projects and sell carbon credits to commercial transportation companies, renewable energy plants and power plants. If the market for electric vehicles or renewable energy does not develop, demand for our products or services could be harmed. As a result, our success depends, in part, on laws that affect demand for electric vehicles. For example, laws compelling the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions could create opportunity for increased sales of our batteries for incorporation in BEVs. Incentives, including tax credits or rebates, for electric vehicle purchases to reduce greenhouse gas emissions create a climate in which our sales may increase. Eliminating or phasing out such incentives could have the opposite effect. The continuous generation of carbon credits is an essential component to offset the unavoidable emissions in our leasing business. Our financial success may depend, in part, on our ability to generate tradable regulatory emission credits and provide carbon offset solutions to our clients. Laws that restrict or diminish the value of such credits may lessen our electric vehicle producing clients’ demand for our batteries.

Our carbon abatement solutions business may be impacted by climate-related activities.

Our carbon abatement solutions business may be impacted by certain climate-related activities, including:

•

technological advancements in the carbon reduction/removal process to mitigate climate change;

•

domestic and international regulatory compliance response to climate change, or imposition of any specific taxation, penalties or fines, and

•

unpredictable and extreme weather patterns and events which may extend to a long-term shift in climate weather patterns.

Given our carbon abatement solutions business are largely exposed to climate-related activities, any unfavorable changes will have an adverse impact on us, and may further impact the ongoing viability of our carbon abatement projects.

Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our senior management team and the loss of one or more of these employees could adversely affect our business.

Our success depends largely upon the continued services of our key executive officers. We also rely on our management team in the areas of research and development, marketing, services and general administrative functions. If one or more of our other senior executives are unable or unwilling to continue to work for us in their present positions, we would be significantly disadvantaged. Moreover, if any of our current or former senior executives joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose clients, suppliers, know-how and key personnel. Each of our executive officers has entered into an employment agreement with us, which contains confidentiality clauses.

Our success also depends, in part, on our continuing ability to identify, hire, attract, train and develop other highly qualified personnel, in particular engineers specializing in various disciplines, including battery design and production. Experienced and highly skilled employees are in high demand and competition for these employees can be intense. Our ability to hire, attract and retain them depends on our ability to provide competitive compensation packages. We may not be able to attract, integrate, train, motivate or retain additional highly qualified personnel, and our failure to do so could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

The unexpected loss of or failure to retain one or more of our key employees could adversely affect our business. We do not currently maintain key man life insurance policies with respect to every officer and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

following the completion of the Business Combination, the PubCo will evaluate whether to obtain such additional key man life insurance policies. Any failure by our management team and our employees to perform as expected may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

Any failure to offer high-quality maintenance services may adversely affect our relationships with our clients and harm our financial results.

We are highly dependent on the quality of our products, our business reputation and on strong recommendations from our existing clients. Any failure to maintain high-quality maintenance services, or a market perception that we do not maintain high-quality maintenance, could harm our reputation, adversely affect our ability to lease our products to existing and prospective clients, and harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

We provide maintenance services with the batteries, BEVs and ESS when we lease to our clients and may be unable to respond quickly enough to accommodate short-term increases in demand for maintenance services, particularly as we increase the size of our client base. Additionally, increased demand for these services, without corresponding revenue, could increase costs and adversely affect our results of operations.

Our management has limited experience in operating a public company.

Our executive officers have limited experience in the management of a publicly traded company. Our management team may not successfully or effectively manage our transition to a public company that will be subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under federal securities laws. Their limited experience in dealing with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies could be a significant disadvantage in that it is likely that an increasing amount of their time may be devoted to these activities which will result in less time being devoted to the management and growth of PubCo. We may not have adequate personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience, and training in the accounting policies, practices or internal controls over financial reporting required of public companies in the United States. The development and implementation of the standards and controls necessary for PubCo to achieve the level of accounting standards required of a public company in the United States may require costs greater than expected. It is possible that PubCo will be required to expand its employee base and hire additional employees to support its operations as a public company which will increase its operating costs in future periods.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Our failure to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting may result in material misstatements of our consolidated financial statements or cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations, which may adversely affect investor confidence in PubCo and, as a result, the value of PubCo’s shares.

Our management has concluded that, as of June 30, 2022, our existing disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting were ineffective, due to a material weakness. The material weakness relates to lack of sufficient financial reporting and accounting personnel, especially those with U.S. GAAP knowledge. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of noco-noco — Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” for further details. Moreover, even if our management may in the future conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, our independent registered public accounting firm, after conducting its own independent testing, may issue a report that is qualified if it concludes that we have not maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). During the course of documenting and testing our internal control procedures, in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we may identify other weaknesses and deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. If we fail to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment, we could suffer material misstatements in our financial statements and fail to meet our

TABLE OF CONTENTS

reporting obligations, which would likely cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. This could in turn limit our access to capital markets, harm our results of operations, and lead to a decline in the trading price of our ordinary shares. Additionally, ineffective internal control over financial reporting could expose us to increased risk of fraud or misuse of corporate assets and subject us to potential delisting from the stock exchange on which we list, regulatory investigations and civil or criminal sanctions.

After we become a public company, our reporting obligations may place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that PubCo include a report from management on the effectiveness of the PubCo’s internal control over financial reporting in PubCo’s annual report on Form 20-F beginning with its second annual report on Form 20-F after becoming a public company. In addition, once PubCo ceases to be an “emerging growth company” as such term is defined in the JOBS Act, PubCo’s independent registered public accounting firm may need to attest to and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We may be unable to timely complete our evaluation testing and any required remediation. In addition, because PubCo will be an “emerging growth company” and intends to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to most other public companies, including, but not limited to, an exemption from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that PubCo’s independent registered public accounting firm provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting, any remedial measures that we take to remedy material weaknesses and control deficiencies may not be independently verified by an independent third party.

The growth and expansion of our business may place a significant strain on our operational and financial resources in the future. As we continue to grow, we may not be able to successfully implement requisite improvements to our internal control systems, controls and processes, such as system access and change management controls, in a timely or efficient manner. Our failure to improve our systems and processes, or their failure to operate in the intended manner, whether as a result of the growth of our business or otherwise, may result in our inability to accurately forecast our revenue and expenses, or to prevent certain losses. Moreover, the failure of our systems and processes could undermine our ability to provide accurate, timely and reliable reports on our financial and operating results and could impact the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

We may need to raise additional funds and these funds may not be available to us when we need them. If we cannot raise additional funds when we need them, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be negatively affected.

The design, manufacture, sale and servicing of our battery products are capital-intensive. We expect that following the consummation of the Business Combination, we will have sufficient capital to fund our planned operations for the next three years, at which point we expect to be generating self-sustaining free cash flow. However, we may need to raise additional capital to scale our operations, continue licensing in intellectual properties and technologies and expand into emerging markets. Further, we may subsequently determine that additional funds are necessary earlier than anticipated. We may raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity related or debt securities, or through obtaining credit from government or financial institutions. This capital may be necessary to fund our ongoing operations, continue improving our technologies, and development and design efforts. We cannot be certain that additional funds will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. If we cannot raise additional funds when we need them, our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects could be materially adversely affected.

We rely on information technology and any failure, inadequacy, interruption or security lapse of that technology, including any cybersecurity incidents, could harm our ability to operate our business effectively.

Experienced computer programmers and hackers may be able to penetrate our network and misappropriate or compromise our confidential information or that of third parties, create system disruptions or cause shutdowns. Computer programmers and hackers also may be able to develop and deploy viruses, worms and other malicious software programs that attack our products or otherwise exploit any security

TABLE OF CONTENTS

vulnerabilities of our products. While we employ a number of protective measures, including firewalls, network infrastructure vulnerability scanning, anti-virus and endpoint detection and response technologies, these measures may fail to prevent or detect attacks on our systems which could adversely affect our business, operations, or products.

Any claim that our products or systems are subject to a cybersecurity risk, whether valid or not, could damage our reputation and adversely impact our revenues and results of operations. We manage and store various proprietary information and sensitive or confidential data relating to our business, which in the future may as well contain information from our suppliers and clients. Breaches of our or any of our third party suppliers’ security measures or the accidental loss, inadvertent disclosure or unapproved dissemination of proprietary information or sensitive or confidential data about us or our clients or suppliers, including the potential loss or disclosure of such information or data as a result of fraud, trickery or other forms of deception, could expose us or our clients or suppliers to a risk of loss or misuse of this information, result in litigation and potential liability for us, damage our brand and reputation or otherwise harm our business.

To the extent we experience cyber-security incidents in the future, our relationships with our clients and suppliers may be materially impacted, our brand and reputation may be harmed and we could incur substantial costs in responding to and remediating the incidents and in resolving any investigations or disputes that may arise with respect to them, any of which would cause our business, operations, or products to be adversely affected. In addition, the cost and operational consequences of implementing and adding further data protection measures could be significant.

We may in the future be, adversely affected by the global COVID-19 pandemic or other similar outbreaks.

We face various risks related to epidemics, pandemics, and other outbreaks, including the recent COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of COVID-19, including changes in consumer and business behavior, pandemic fears and market downturns, and restrictions on business and individual activities, has created significant volatility in the global economy and led to reduced economic activity. The spread of COVID-19 may impact our potential clients and suppliers by disrupting the manufacturing, delivery and overall supply chain of battery and BEV manufacturers and suppliers and may lead to a global decrease in battery and BEV sales or leasing in markets around the world.

The pandemic has resulted in government authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, stay-at-home or shelter-in-place orders, and business shutdowns. Although we had not experienced any impact from the pandemic, these measures still may adversely impact our employees, research and development activities and operations and the operations of our suppliers, vendors and business partners, and may negatively impact our sales and marketing activities in the future. In addition, various aspects of our business cannot be conducted remotely. These measures by government authorities may remain in place for a significant period of time and they are likely to continue to adversely affect our future manufacturing plans, sales and marketing activities, business and results of operations. We may take actions as may be required by government authorities or that it determines are in the best interests of its employees, suppliers, vendors and business partners.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our business, prospects and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the duration and spread of the pandemic, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating activities can resume. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may experience an adverse impact to its business as a result of its global economic impact, including any recession that has occurred or may occur in the future.

There are no comparable recent events that may provide guidance as to the effect of the spread of COVID-19 and a pandemic, and, as a result, the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or a similar health epidemic is highly uncertain.

The future impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted and there is no assurance that such outbreak will not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The extent of the impact will depend on future developments, including actions taken to contain COVID-19, and if these impacts persist or exacerbate over an extended period of time.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We may not achieve the intended tax efficiencies of our corporate structure and intercompany arrangements, which could increase our worldwide effective tax rate.

Our corporate structure and intercompany arrangements, including but not limited to the manner in which we conduct our intercompany and related party transactions, are intended to provide us with worldwide tax efficiencies. The application of tax laws of various jurisdictions to our business activities is subject to interpretation and also depends on our ability to operate our business in a manner consistent with our corporate structure and intercompany arrangements. The tax authorities of jurisdictions where we operate may challenge our methodologies for intercompany and related party arrangements, including but not limited to transfer pricing, or determine that the manner in which we operate does not achieve the intended tax consequences, which could increase our worldwide effective tax rate and adversely affect our business, financial position and results of operations.

A certain degree of judgment is required in evaluating our tax positions and determining our provision for income taxes. In the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. For example, our effective tax rate could be adversely affected by lower than anticipated earnings in markets where we have lower statutory rates and higher than anticipated earnings in markets where we have higher statutory rates, by changes in foreign currency exchange rates or by changes in the relevant tax, accounting and other laws, regulations, principles and interpretations. Any of these factors could adversely affect our business, financial position and results of operations.

We could face uncertain tax liabilities in various jurisdictions in which we operate, which could adversely impact our operating results.

We are subject to the tax laws and policies of each of the countries in which we operate. Since legislation and other laws and regulations (particularly in relation to tax) in emerging markets, such as the markets where we operate, are often undeveloped and the interpretation, application and enforcement of tax laws and policies in emerging market countries is uncertain, there is a risk that we may be unable to determine our taxation obligations with certainty.

We obtain external tax advice from time to time on the application of tax laws to our operations. Due to the aforementioned challenges of interpretation and consistency of application and enforcement, obtaining such advice may be difficult and opinions on the law may differ. The determination of our provision for tax liabilities requires significant judgment and estimation and there are classifications, transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax payable is uncertain.

Our tax exposure and obligations exist in each of the jurisdictions in which we presently operate and may arise in other jurisdictions in the future in the event that we commence operations in such new jurisdictions, either organically or through acquisitions. These risks may increase when we acquire a business, particularly to the extent that there are limitations or restrictions on the scope or nature of the financial, tax and other due diligence investigations that we are able to undertake in connection with the acquisition, or where the vendors withhold material information. Given the nature of our business, we are also exposed to the general changes in digital taxation policy that are happening globally.

From time to time, we establish provisions to account for uncertainties as well as timing and accounting differences in respect of income tax and indirect taxes, including but not limited to in relation to businesses that are acquired by us. While we have established our tax and other provisions using assumptions and estimates that we believe to be reasonable, these provisions may prove insufficient given the risks and uncertainties inherent in the taxation systems in the countries where we operate. Any adverse determinations by a revenue authority in relation to our tax obligations may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and may adversely impact our operations in the relevant jurisdiction and our reputation.

Our business activities in the Oceanian countries may be subject to native title and/or indigenous cultural heritage rights.

Native title and/or indigenous cultural heritage rights may impact our ability to obtain landowner agreements, permits and approvals. In Australia, the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) recognizes rights of

TABLE OF CONTENTS

indigenous Australians over land, and such recognition may impact or delay our ability to carry out our business activities, either wholly or partially. There are also Australian state and territory legislations which impose duties of care on us to ensure all practical and reasonable measures are taken to avoid damaging or destroying indigenous cultural heritage. These laws and regulations are subject to constant review and amendments. If we are unable to obtain consent from indigenous persons to the potential target areas of a planned carbon abatement project, that particular project would have to be abandoned, which will adversely affect our business and financial performance.

In addition, our business activities may be subject to the First Nations and/or indigenous persons claims. To carry out our business activities, consultation and discussions with the First Nations and/or other indigenous groups will be required from time to time. Any unsuccessful consultation or discussions will impact our ability to perform our business activities. In the event the land underlying a carbon abatement project is determined to be native title, we will need to appropriately amend our internal policies and procedures to ensure compliance, which may delay our project timeline and adversely affect our business. In addition, we may at times be restricted, either legally or culturally, from the properties or lands due to sociological issues, which may also adversely affect our business.

We may be subject to government policy changes under the federal political system of Australia.

Australia has consistently operated under a mild two-party federal political system, with two major party alliances dominating the political groupings in the Australian system. The carbon abatement projects, although having experienced prolonged periods of continuance between both party alliances, may be revoked upon a change in the federal system to be realigned with the incumbent political party’s policies. Any change in government policies, legislation or regulation that affect carbon abatement projects may directly impact our business operations. Generally, the state-based political parties in Australia also follow a mild two-party system, which may present conflicts between state policies and federal policies, in turn creating uncertainty and volatility for our operations.

In addition, there may be changes in taxation, interest rates and other administrative functions of both the state and federal governing laws and regulations which may have an adverse impact on our assets, operations and financial performance. Changes to existing laws and regulations governing the carbon abatement projects may also require us to implement such changes, which may adversely impact both current and any future projects. See “— Risks Related to noco-noco’s Business and Industry — Uncertainties with respect to laws and regulations in the countries in which we operate could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.”

Uncertainties with respect to laws and regulations in the countries in which we operate could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business is subject to a range of regulations, including but not limited to safety, environmental, tax, anti-money laundering, countering of terrorism financing and competition legislation in different jurisdictions. Governments and regulatory authorities in the countries where we operate may from time to time make changes to applicable laws and regulatory policies, which may make it more difficult or onerous for us to operate. Additionally, laws and policies in emerging markets may change at short notice and may subject us to additional penalties. See “— Risks Related to noco-noco’s Business and Industry — Our operations and investments are located in Asia-Pacific and we are therefore exposed to various risks inherent in operating and investing in the region.”

In addition, any interpretation of laws and practice by the governments and/or regulatory authorities that is contrary to our views of those laws and practice may adversely affect our liabilities or expose us to legal, regulatory or other actions. Inconsistent enforcement of laws also creates compliance risks, as it may make it difficult for us to engage with regulatory authorities on compliance matters. Such inconsistency may also result in variability in the penalties associated with any non-compliance. Appeals against the enforcement actions taken by regulatory authorities may not always be possible, and it may take a long time to reach conclusion, may incur significant costs and the results may be uncertain and involve external influences outside our control.

Risks Related to PNAC and the Business Combination

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this subsection to the “Company,” “PNAC”, “we,” “us” or “our” refer to the business of PNAC and its subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

PNAC will incur significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Business Combination.

PNAC has incurred and expects to incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with consummating the Business Combination. Certain transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination, including all legal, accounting, consulting, investment banking and other fees, expenses, and costs, will be paid by PubCo at or following the closing of the Business Combination.

The Business Combination Agreement provides that, except in the case of fraud, all of the representations, warranties and covenants, obligations or other agreements of the parties contained therein shall not survive the Closing, except for a limited number of covenants, obligations or other agreements of the parties that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing, and then only with respect to breaches occurring after Closing. Accordingly, except in the case of fraud, PNAC will have no rights to make damage claims against noco-noco after the Closing with respect to any breach of the representations and warranties, and will have limited rights to make damage claims against noco-noco after the Closing with respect to covenants, or agreements contained in the Business Combination Agreement that survive and the covenants to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing.

After the Closing, PubCo may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on its financial condition, results of operations and the price of shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

Although PNAC has conducted due diligence on noco-noco, PNAC cannot assure you that this diligence revealed all material issues that may be present in noco-noco’s business, that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of PNAC’s and noco-noco’s control will not later arise. As a result, after the Closing, PubCo may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure its operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in losses. Even if PNAC’s due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with PNAC’s preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and may not have an immediate impact on PubCo’s liquidity, the fact that PubCo may incur charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about PubCo’s securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause PubCo to be unable to obtain future financing on favorable terms or at all. Accordingly, any PNAC stockholder who chooses to remain a stockholder of PubCo following the Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares. Such stockholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value unless they are able to successfully claim that the reduction was due to the breach by PNAC’s officers or directors of a duty of care or other fiduciary duty owed to them, or if they are able to successfully bring a private claim under securities laws that the proxy solicitation relating to the Business Combination contained an actionable material misstatement or material omission.

The PNAC Initial Stockholders own PNAC Common Stock that will be worthless, may be unable to be repaid in full for the working capital loans provided to PNAC, and may incur reimbursable expenses that may not be reimbursed or repaid if the Business Combination is not approved. Such interests may have influenced their decision to approve and, in the case of the Board, recommend, the Business Combination with noco-noco.

The PNAC Initial Stockholders and/or their affiliates beneficially own or have a pecuniary interest in the PNAC Founder Shares and PNAC Private Shares. As of the Record Date, the PNAC Initial Shareholders owned and were entitled to vote 2,011,392 shares of PNAC Common Stock, representing approximately 29.05% of the issued and outstanding shares of PNAC Common Stock. The holders have no redemption

TABLE OF CONTENTS

rights with respect to these securities in the event a business combination is not effected in the required time period. Therefore, if the Business Combination with noco-noco or another business combination is not approved within the required time period, such securities held by such persons will be worthless. Based upon the closing price of PNAC Common Stock of $10.56 per share on Nasdaq on the Record Date, such securities had an implied aggregate market value, assuming the Business Combination is consummated, of approximately $21,240,299.5. Accordingly, the PNAC Initial Shareholders may be incentivized to complete the Business Combination, or an alternative business combination, with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to stockholders than they would otherwise recommend or approve, as the case may be, rather than allow PNAC to wind up having failed to consummate a business combination and lose their entire investment.

Additionally, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, the Sponsors, directors, officers or affiliates of PNAC may, but are not obligated to, loan PNAC funds as may be required. If PNAC completes the Business Combination, PNAC would repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to PNAC. Otherwise, such loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that the Business Combination does not close, PNAC may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay such loaned amounts. Up to $3,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into the Working Capital Shares, at a price of $10.00 per share at the option of the lender. As of March 31, 2023, PNAC had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Furthermore, the PNAC Initial Stockholders are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them related to identifying, investigating, and consummating an initial business combination. Any such expenses will be repaid upon completion of the Business Combination with noco-noco. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no such reimbursable expenses have been incurred. If any such expenses are incurred, however, if PNAC fails to consummate the Business Combination, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for repayment or reimbursement. Accordingly, PNAC may not be able to repay or reimburse these amounts if the Business Combination is not completed. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of PNAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination.”

These financial interests may have influenced the decision of PNAC’s directors to approve the Business Combination with noco-noco and to continue to pursue such Business Combination. In considering the recommendations of PNAC Board to vote for the Business Combination Proposal and other Proposals, PNAC Public Stockholders should consider these interests.

The PNAC Public Stockholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of PubCo Ordinary Shares immediately following consummation of the Business Combination and Transaction Financing and in connection with the Business Combination.

PNAC Public Stockholders who do not redeem their PNAC Public Shares will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of PubCo Ordinary Shares immediately following consummation of the Business Combination and Transaction Financing and may experience dilution from several additional sources to varying degrees in connection with and after the Business Combination, including the following:

•

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, upon consummation of the Share Exchange, each Seller shall receive such fraction of a newly issued PubCo Ordinary Share that is equal to the quotient of $1,350,000,000 (the “noco-noco Valuation”), divided by the product of (a) the price per PubCo Ordinary Share that equals to the redemption price of each share of PNAC Class A Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination and (b) such Seller’s Pro Rata Portion as set out in the Allocation Schedule of the Business Combination Agreement

•

In addition, in connection with the Transaction Financing, PubCo Ordinary Shares of at least $20,000,000 will be issued.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

Up to 3,225,000 shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the PubCo Warrants (Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, pursuant to the Warrant Assumption Agreement, each PNAC Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall cease to be a warrant with respect to PNAC Common Stock, and shall be assumed by PubCo and converted into a warrant of PubCo to purchase one PubCo Ordinary Share, subject to substantially the same terms and conditions prior to the consummation of the Business Combination), which will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination. The shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares underlying these PubCo Warrants, represent approximately 2.21% or 2.29% of the fully-diluted number of shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, assuming the no redemption scenario and the maximum redemption scenario, respectively. See “— PubCo Warrants will become exercisable for PubCo Ordinary Shares 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to PNAC stockholders. Such dilution will increase if more of the PNAC Public Shares are redeemed.” Once PubCo Warrants become exercisable, PubCo will have no opportunity to manage the dilution therefrom, except that PubCo has the ability to redeem outstanding PNAC Warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per PubCo Warrants, provided that the last reported sales price of PubCo Ordinary Share equals or exceeds $16.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which PubCo gives proper notice of such redemption and provided certain other conditions are met.

•

PubCo will reserve 5% of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares as of the Closing under the PubCo Incentive Plan, which represent approximately 4.8% of the fully-diluted number of shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, assuming the no redemption scenario and the maximum redemption scenario, respectively.

•

Up to 300,000 Working Capital Shares to the Sponsors or their affiliates or designees, assuming the holders of working capital promissory notes select to convert the working capital promissory notes into Working Capital Shares.

The issuance of additional PubCo Ordinary Shares as discussed above will significantly dilute the equity interests of existing holders of PNAC securities, diminish the relative voting strength of existing holders of PNAC securities, and may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the PubCo Ordinary Shares.

The exercise of PNAC’s directors’ and officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Business Combination Agreement may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in the best interests of PNAC Public Stockholders.

In the period leading up to the Closing, events may occur that, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, would require PNAC to agree to amend the Business Combination Agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by noco-noco or to waive rights that PNAC is entitled to under the Business Combination Agreement. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of noco-noco’s business, a request by noco-noco to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Business Combination Agreement or the occurrence of other events that would have a material adverse effect on noco-noco’s business and would entitle PNAC to terminate the Business Combination Agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be at PNAC’s discretion, acting through PNAC Board, to grant its consent or waive those rights. The existence of the financial and personal interests of the directors described in the preceding risk factors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors between what he, she or they may believe is best for PNAC and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself, or themselves in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, PNAC does not believe there will be any material changes or waivers that PNAC’s directors and officers would be likely to make after the mailing of this proxy statement/prospectus. PNAC will circulate a supplemental or amended proxy statement/prospectus if changes to the terms of the Business Combination that would have a material impact on its stockholders are required prior to the vote on the Business Combination Proposal.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If PNAC is unable to complete the Business Combination with noco-noco or another business combination by August 17, 2023 (or such later date if PNAC extend the period of time to consummate a business combination), PNAC Public Stockholders may receive only approximately $10.60 per public share, or less than such amount in certain circumstances based on the balance of the Trust Account (as of Record Date), and PNAC Warrants and PNAC Rights will expire worthless.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, there are various closing conditions to be satisfied in order to complete the Business Combination, some of which are beyond PNAC’s control. Currently, PNAC has until August 17, 2023 (or November 17, 2023, if fully extended) to consummate a business combination. If PNAC is unable to complete the Business Combination or any other alternative business combination, to the extent that the Business Combination Agreement is terminated for any reason, within the required period under the Existing PNAC Charter, Public Stockholders may only receive approximately $10.60 per Public Share on the liquidation of the Trust Account, based on the balance of the Trust Account (as of Record Date), and PNAC Warrants and PNAC Rights will expire worthless.

If PNAC is unable to complete the Business Combination with noco-noco or another business combination by August 17, 2023 (or such later date if PNAC extend the period of time to consummate a business combination), PNAC will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding PNAC Public Shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its Board, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, third parties may bring claims against PNAC and, as a result, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per-share liquidation price received by PNAC Public Stockholders could be less than $10.25 per Public Share, and the PNAC Warrants and PNAC Rights will expire worthless.

Under the terms of the Existing PNAC Charter, PNAC must complete the Business Combination with noco-noco or another business combination by August 17, 2023 (or such later date stockholders if PNAC extend the period of time to consummate a business combination, or as may be approved by PNAC stockholders in an amendment to the Existing PNAC Charter), or PNAC must (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the PNAC Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to PNAC to pay our taxes (less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding PNAC Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of PNAC’s remaining stockholders and the PNAC Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to PNAC’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, third parties may bring claims against PNAC. Although PNAC seeks waiver agreements from certain vendors and service providers it has engaged and owes money to, and the prospective target businesses it has negotiated with, whereby such parties will waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that vendors, regardless of whether they execute such waivers, will not seek recourse against the Trust Account notwithstanding such agreements. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that a court will uphold the validity of such agreements. Accordingly, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to claims which could take priority over those of the PNAC Public Stockholders. If PNAC is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to PNAC, or a prospective target business with which PNAC has discussed entering into a Business Combination Agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.20 per PNAC Public Share or (ii) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of 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 indemnity of the underwriters of the PNAC IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, then the Sponsors will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. We have not independently verified whether the Sponsors have sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Sponsors’ only assets are securities of PNAC. Additionally, we have not asked the Sponsors to reserve for such

TABLE OF CONTENTS

indemnification obligations. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the Sponsors would be able to satisfy such indemnification obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for the Business Combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.20 per PNAC Public Share. In such event, we may not be able to complete the Business Combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your PNAC Public Shares. None of our officers will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

Additionally, if PNAC is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it which is not dismissed, or if PNAC otherwise enters compulsory or court supervised liquidation, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in its bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of PNAC Public Stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, PNAC may not be able to return to its Public Stockholders at least $10.20 per share of PNAC Class A Common Stock. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the PNAC Warrants and PNAC Rights, which will expire worthless if PNAC fails to complete an initial business combination within the required period.

If Transaction Financing or other equity financing is not available prior to or upon the closing of the Business Combination to satisfy certain conditions to Closing, the Business Combination may not be consummated.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, neither PNAC nor noco-noco has obtained any firm commitment of financing for PubCo prior to or upon the closing of the Business Combination. Subject to PNAC’s available cash after the shareholder redempition, the lack of committed Transaction Financing prior to or upon the closing of the Business Combination could potentially result in breach of certain conditions to the Share Exchange Closing as stipulated in the Business Combination Agreement and could, if not waived by the relevant parties, prohibit the closing of the Business Combination. For example, the net tangible assets of PubCo upon the closing of the Business Combination should be no less than $5,000,001. In addition, PNAC’s Available Acquiror Cash (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) should be at least $20,000,000 immediately prior to or upon the Share Exchange Closing. For more information about the closing conditions to the Business Combination, see “The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement — Conditions to Closing.” Neither noco-noco nor PNAC can give any assurance that they will be able to obtain committed Transaction Financing on acceptable terms. Any Transaction Financing may significantly dilute the equity interest of the continuing shareholders of the PubCo and may include unfavorable terms, including giving the investor(s) of such Transaction Financing the ability to acquire shares at a price which is less than the market price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares at the time of purchase. noco-noco and PNAC can give no assurance that any of themwill be able to enter into any financing arrangement or agreement on terms that it considers reasonable orwhich could reasonably be expected to reduce redemption of public shares by PNAC Public Stockholders.

PNAC Public Stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against PNAC to the extent of distributions received by them.

If PNAC is unable to complete the Business Combination with noco-noco or another business combination within the required time period, PNAC will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the PNAC Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to PNAC to pay our taxes (less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding PNAC Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish PNAC Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of PNAC’s remaining stockholders and PNAC Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to PNAC’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. PNAC cannot assure you that it will properly assess all claims that may potentially be brought against PNAC. As such, PNAC Public Stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of its stockholders

TABLE OF CONTENTS

may extend well beyond the third anniversary of the date of distribution. Accordingly, PNAC cannot assure you that third parties will not seek to recover from its stockholders amounts owed to them by PNAC.

If PNAC files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against PNAC that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in PNAC’s bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of PNAC Public Stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, PNAC cannot provide any assurance that PNAC will be able to return $10.60 per share to our Public Stockholders. Additionally, if PNAC files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against PNAC that is not dismissed, any distributions received by PNAC Public Stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by PNAC Public Stockholders. Furthermore, the PNAC Board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to PNAC’s creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, thereby exposing itself and PNAC to claims of punitive damages, by paying PNAC Public Stockholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. PNAC cannot provide any assurance that claims will not be brought against PNAC for these reasons.

Activities taken by existing PNAC stockholders to increase the likelihood of approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the other Proposals could have a depressive effect on PNAC Common Stock.

At any time prior to the Special Meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding PNAC or its securities, the PNAC stockholders, noco-noco, or noco-noco’s stockholders and/or their respective affiliates may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire PNAC Common Stock or vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. The purpose of such transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements to consummate the Business Combination where it appears that such requirements would otherwise not be met. Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on PNAC Common Stock. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he, she or it owns, either prior to or immediately after the Special Meeting.

If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, and an insufficient number of votes have been obtained to authorize the consummation of the Business Combination, the PNAC Board will not have the ability to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date in order to solicit further votes, and, therefore, the Business Combination will not be approved.

The PNAC Board has not obtained, nor will it obtain, a fairness opinion prior to the Closing.

In analyzing the Business Combination, the PNAC Board conducted significant due diligence on noco-noco. It believes because of the financial skills and background of its directors and officers, it was qualified to conclude that the Business Combination was fair from a financial perspective to the PNAC stockholders and that noco-noco’s fair market value was at least 80% of the value of the funds in the Trust Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the PNAC Board did not obtain a fairness opinion to assist it in its determination. Accordingly, itmay be incorrect in its assessment of the Business Combination.

We are dependent upon our current executive officers and directors and their loss could adversely affect our ability to operate.

Our operations are dependent upon a relatively small group of individuals and, in particular, our executive officers and directors. We believe that our success depends on the continued service of our officers and directors, at least until we have completed the Business Combination.

The PNAC Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how PNAC Public Stockholders vote.

The PNAC Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote the PNAC Founder Shares and PNAC Private Shares, as well as any PNAC Public Shares purchased during or after the PNAC IPO, in favor of the Business Combination.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As of the Record Date, the PNAC Initial Stockholders owned and were entitled to vote 2,011,392 shares of PNAC Common Stock (including 1612,500 PNAC Founder Shares and 398,892 PNAC Private Shares), representing approximately 29.53% of the voting power of the shares of PNAC Common Stock outstanding. As a result, in addition to the PNAC Founder Shares and PNAC Private Shares, we would need (i) assuming all outstanding shares voted, 1,450,454 shares (or 29.53% of the 4,912,299 PNAC Public Shares) to vote in favor, or (ii) assuming only the quorum is present and voted, no additional shares to vote in favor, in order to have the Business Combination Proposal approved. Accordingly, it is more likely that the necessary stockholder approval will be received than would be the case if such persons agreed to vote their shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by PNAC Public Stockholders.

The PNAC Initial Stockholders and PNAC’s directors and officers may have interests in the Business Combination different from the interests of PNAC Public Stockholders.

The PNAC Initial Stockholders include PNAC’s directors and officers, who have financial interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of other PNAC stockholders generally. Specifically: (i) the PNAC Initial Stockholders paid an aggregate of $25,000 for 1,612,500 PNAC Founder Shares, among which Sponsor A holds 1,383,700 PNAC Founder Shares, Sponsor B holds 90,300 PNAC Founder Shares, and PNAC’s officers, directors, secretary, and a member of Sponsor A collectively holds 138,500 PNAC Founder Shares, which will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination; and (ii) the Sponsors paid an aggregate of $3,988,920 for 398,892 PNAC Private Shares, or $10.00 per share, among which the Sponsor A holds 349,032 PNAC Private Shares, and Sponsor B holds 49,860 PNAC Private Shares. If PNAC does not consummate an initial business combination by the Final Redemption Date, then the proceeds from the sale of the PNAC Private Shares will be part of the liquidating distribution to the PNAC Public Stockholders and the PNAC Private Shares held by the PNAC Initial Stockholders will be worthless. As a result, the PNAC Initial Stockholders may be incentivized to complete the Business Combination, or an alternative initial business combination with a less favorable company or on terms less favorable to PNAC stockholders, rather than to liquidate, in which case the PNAC stockholders would lose their entire investment.

As a result, the PNAC Initial Stockholders may have a conflict of interest in determining whether noco-noco is an appropriate business with which to effectuate a business combination and/or in evaluating the terms of the Business Combination.Additionally, given that the PNAC Initial Stockholders collectively acquired 1,612,500 PNAC Founder Shares at a purchase price of approximately $0.016 per share and 398,892 PNAC Private Shares at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, representing 29.05% of issued and outstanding shares of PNAC Common Stock prior to the Business Combination, and the noco-noco Valuation of $1,350,000,000 based on the redemption price of $10.60 per share, the PNAC Initial Stockholders could make a substantial profit after the Business Combination from their acquisition of PNAC Founder Shares and/or PNAC Private Shares as discussed above, even if the Business Combination subsequently declines in value or is unprofitable for the PNAC Public Stockholders, or the PNAC Public Stockholders experience substantial losses in their investment in PubCo. There are other factors that may motivate or incentize the PNAC Initial Stockholders and directors and officers in completing the Business Combination, see “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of PNAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” on page 133 for more details. In considering these facts and the other information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, you should be aware that PNAC Initial Stockholders and PNAC’s directors and officers may have financial interests in the Business Combination that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of PNAC Public Stockholders.

Furthermore, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, the Founders, an affiliate of the Founders, or certain of PNAC’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan PNAC funds as may be required. If PNAC completes the Business Combination, PNAC would repay such Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to PNAC. Otherwise, such Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that the Business Combination does not close, PNAC may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay such loaned amounts. Up to $3,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into the Working Capital Shares, at a price of $10.00 per share at the option of the lender. As of March 31,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2023, PNAC had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans. In case any borrowing is incurred, such outstanding working capital loans may also influence the PNAC shareholders’ decision to approve the Business Combination.

Officers of PNAC negotiated the terms of the Business Combination Agreement with their counterparts at noco-noco, and the Board considered these interests, among other matters, when making the determination that the Business Combination is advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of, PNAC and its unaffiliated stockholders. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of PNAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” of this proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed discussion of the special interests that the PNAC Initial Stockholders and PNAC’s directors and officers may have in the Business Combination.

Our actual financial position and results of operations may differ materially from the unaudited pro forma financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information in this proxy statement/prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what our actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the Business Combination been completed on the dates indicated. The preparation of the pro forma financial information is based upon available information and certain assumptions and estimates that PNAC and noco-noco currently believe are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined information does not purport to indicate the results that would have been obtained had the Business Combination and related transactions actually been completed on the assumed date or for the periods presented, or which may be realized in the future. The pro forma adjustments are based on the information currently available and the assumptions and estimates underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions within the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for more information.

We do not have a specified maximum redemption threshold. The absence of such a redemption threshold may make it possible for us to complete the Business Combination with which a substantial majority of our stockholders do not agree.

The Existing PNAC Charter does not provide a specified maximum redemption threshold, except that in no event will PNAC redeem the PNAC Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets, to be less than $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon the consummation of a business combination after taking into account the redemption for cash of all PNAC Public Shares properly demanded to be redeemed by holders of PNAC Common Stock (such that we do not then become subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules), or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement that may be contained in the agreement relating to PNAC’s initial business combination. As a result, PNAC may be able to complete the Business Combination even though a substantial majority of the PNAC Public Stockholders do not agree with the Business Combination and have redeemed their shares in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. In the event that the aggregate redemption requests we would be required to pay for all PNAC Common Stock that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to PNAC, PNAC will not complete the Business Combination or redeem any shares, all PNAC Public Shares submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof, and PNAC instead may search for an alternate business combination, provided PNAC still has time to complete an alternative business combination under the Existing PNAC Charter.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PNAC Public Stockholder will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after the Business Combination and will exercise less influence over management.

Upon the issuance of PubCo Ordinary Shares to noco-noco shareholders, current PNAC Public Stockholders percentage ownership will be diluted. Immediately following the Closing and excluding shares of PNAC Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of PubCo Warrants, (i) assuming that no PNAC Public Stockholders exercise their redemption rights, current PNAC Public Stockholders percentage ownership in PubCo would be [4.12%], (ii) assuming that PNAC Public Stockholders holding 25% of PNAC Public Shares exercise their redemption rights, current PNAC Public Stockholders’ percentage ownership in PubCo would be [3.27]%, (iii) assuming that PNAC Public Stockholders holding 75% of the PNAC Public Shares exercise their redemption rights, current PNAC Public Stockholders’ percentage ownership in PubCo would be [1.51]%, and (iv) assuming that a maximum of PNAC Public Shares issued and outstanding as of the Record Date are redeemed, current PNAC Public Stockholders’ percentage ownership in PubCo would be [0.60]%. Additionally, of the expected 7 members of the board of directors of PubCo, all will be current directors of noco-noco or designated by noco-noco. The percentage of the issued and outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares that will be owned by current PNAC Public Stockholders as a group will vary based on the number of shares of PNAC Common Stock redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. Because of the above, current PNAC Public Stockholders, as a group, will have less influence on the board of directors, management, and policies of PubCo than they now have on the Board, management, and policies of PNAC. See the section entitled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” of this proxy statement/prospectus for an illustration of the number of shares and percentage interests outstanding under scenarios that assume no redemptions and redemptions of PNAC Public Shares in the maximum amount.

PNAC may redeem the unexpired PNAC Warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your PNAC Warrants worthless.

PNAC has have ability to redeem outstanding PNAC Warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the last reported sales price of PNAC Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $16.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which PNAC gives proper notice of such redemption and provided certain other conditions are met. While PNAC Class A Common Stock has not exceeded the $16.50 per share threshold at which PNAC Warrants would become redeemable since the announcement of the Business Combination, there is no assurance that the price of PubCo Ordinary Shares will not exceed the threshold in the future. If and when the PNAC Warrants become redeemable by PNAC, PNAC may exercise its redemption right even if PNAC is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, by PNAC not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date that fixed by PNAC for the redemption to the registered holders of the PNAC Warrants to be redeemed at their last addresses as they shall appear on the registration books. Any notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the registered holder received such notice. PNAC will not redeem the PNAC Warrants unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of PNAC Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the PNAC Warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of PNAC Common Stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period, except if the PNAC Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. If and when the PNAC Warrants become redeemable by PNAC, PNAC may exercise its redemption right even if PNAC is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. If PNAC elect to redeem the PNAC Warrants on a cashless basis, then PNAC will not receive any cash proceeds from the exercise of such PNAC.

Redemption of the outstanding PNAC Warrants could force you (i) to exercise PNAC Warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so, (ii) to sell PNAC Warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold PNAC Warrants or (iii) to accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding PNAC Warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of PNAC Warrants.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If the Business Combination’s benefits do not meet the expectations of investors, stockholders or financial analysts, the market price of the PNAC Common Stock before the Closing and PubCo Ordinary Shares post closing may decline.

If the benefits of the Business Combination do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of PNAC Common Stock prior to the Closing may decline. The market value of PNAC Common Stock at the time of the Business Combination may vary significantly from its price on the date the Business Combination Agreement was executed, the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, or the date on which PNAC Public Stockholders vote on the Business Combination.

In addition, following the Business Combination, fluctuations in the price of PubCo Ordinary Shares could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on your investment in PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Ordinary Shares may trade at a price significantly below the price you paid for it. In such circumstances, the trading price of PubCo Ordinary Shares may not recover and may experience a further decline.

Factors affecting the trading price of PubCo Ordinary Shares following the Business Combination may include:

•

actual or anticipated fluctuations in PubCo quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to PubCo;

•

changes in the market’s expectations about PubCo’s operating results;

•

success of competitors;

•

PubCo’s operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;

•

changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning PubCo or the market in general;

•

operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to PubCo;

•

changes in laws and regulations affecting PubCo’s business;

•

commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving PubCo;

•

changes in PubCo’s capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;

•

the volume of shares available for public sale;

•

any major change in the board of directors or management of PubCo;

•

sales of substantial amounts of securities by PubCo’s directors, executive officers, or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur;

•

general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations, and acts of war or terrorism; and

•

other developments affecting the industry.

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of PubCo Ordinary Shares irrespective of our operating performance. The stock market in general and Nasdaq have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of PubCo’s securities, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for retail stocks or the stocks of other companies, notably in the industry which investors perceive to be similar to PubCo could depress PubCo’s stock price regardless of its business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price for PubCo Ordinary Shares also could adversely affect PubCo’s ability to issue additional securities and PubCo’s ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PNAC’s directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of the Sponsors, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to the Public Stockholders.

The Sponsors have agreed that it will be liable to PNAC if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to PNAC, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.20 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per PNAC Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.20 per public share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the funds held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under PNAC’s indemnity of the underwriter of the PNAC IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, PNAC has not asked the Sponsors to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has PNAC independently verified whether the Sponsors have sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Sponsors’ only assets are securities of PNAC. Therefore, we cannot provide any assurance that the Sponsors would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of PNAC officers or directors will indemnify PNAC for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

If the Sponsors assert that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that PNAC’s independent directors would take legal action on behalf of PNAC against the Sponsors to enforce its indemnification obligations to PNAC, it is possible that PNAC’s independent directors, in exercising their business judgment, may choose not to do so if, for example, the cost of such legal action is deemed by the independent directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent directors determine that a favorable outcome is not likely. PNAC has not asked the Sponsors to reserve for such indemnification obligations and we cannot provide any assurance that the Sponsors would be able to satisfy those obligations. Accordingly, we cannot provide any assurance that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-share redemption price will not be less than $10.20 per Public Share.

Members of PNAC’s management team may be involved in governmental investigations, regulatory proceedings and civil litigation relating to the business affairs of companies with which they are, were or may in the future be affiliated.

Members of PNAC’s management team may have been involved or in the future be involved in governmental investigations, regulatory proceedings and civil litigation relating to the business affairs of companies with which they are, were or may in the future be affiliated. Any such investigations or litigations may divert PNAC’s management team’s attention and resources away from consummating the Business Combination, may be detrimental to its reputation, and thus may negatively affect its ability to complete the Business Combination. Moreover, there may also be negative publicity associated with such government investigations, regulatory proceedings or civil litigation that could foster speculations and reduce investor confidence, regardless of whether the allegations are valid or whether PNAC’s management team prevails in such government investigations, regulatory proceedings or civil litigation. As a result, such investigation, pproceeding or litigation may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation or trading price.

PNAC may become involved in litigation that may materially adversely affect us.

From time to time, we may become involved in various legal proceedings relating to matters incidental to the ordinary course of our business, including litigation and claims and governmental and other regulatory investigations and proceedings. Such matters can be time-consuming, divert management’s attention and resources, cause us to incur significant expenses or liability or require us to change our business practices.

Because of the potential risks, expenses, and uncertainties of litigation, we may, from time to time, settle disputes, even where we believe that we have meritorious claims or defences. Because litigation is

TABLE OF CONTENTS

inherently unpredictable, we cannot assure you that the results of any of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our business.

The securities price of PNAC may be volatile and, in the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities litigation, including class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future.

Litigation of this type could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Any adverse determination in litigation could also subject us to significant liabilities.

After the consummation of the Business Combination, all but of the executive officers and directors of PubCo are expected to be located in the United States and therefore, investors may not be able to enforce federal securities laws or their other legal rights upon such officers of PubCo located outside the United States.

All of the current directors and officers of noco-noco are located in the United States. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, all of the executive officers and directors of noco-noco are expected to be located in the United States. As a result, it may be difficult, or in some cases not possible, for investors in the United States or to enforce their legal rights, to effect service of process upon such officers and director of PNAC located outside the United States, to enforce judgments of the United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities and criminal penalties on such director under United States securities laws.

The Business Combination is subject to conditions, including certain conditions that may not be satisfied on a timely basis, if at all.

The completion of the Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions. The completion of the Business Combination is not assured and is subject to risks, including the risk that approval of the Business Combination by PNAC stockholders is not obtained or that there are not sufficient funds in the Trust Account, in each case subject to certain terms specified in the Business Combination Agreement (as described in the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement — Conditions to Closing.”). If PNAC does not complete the Business Combination, PNAC could be subject to several risks, including:

•

the parties may be liable for damages to one another under the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement;

•

negative reactions from the financial markets, including declines in the price of our PNAC Common Stock because current prices reflect a market assumption that the Business Combination will be completed;

•

the attention of our management will have been diverted to the Business Combination rather than the pursuit of other opportunities in respect of an initial business combination; and

•

we will have a limited period of time, if any, to complete an alternative initial business combination and we may not be as attractive to potential alternative partners to an initial business combination if we are unable to complete the Business Combination.

Either PNAC or noco-noco may waive one or more of the conditions to the Business Combination or certain of the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

Either PNAC or noco-noco may agree to waive, in whole or in part, some of the conditions to its obligations to consummate the Business Combination or certain of the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, to the extent permitted by the Existing PNAC Charter and applicable laws. For example, it is a condition to PNAC’s obligations to consummate the Business Combination that certain of noco-noco’s representations and warranties are true and correct in all respects as of the date of Closing, except where the failure of such representations and warranties to be true and correct, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect. However, if the Board determines that it is in the best interest of PNAC stockholders to waive any such breach, then the Board may elect to waive that condition and consummate the Business Combination.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of PNAC’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what such director(s) may believe is in the best interests of PNAC and its stockholders and such director(s) may believe is best for such director(s) in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the proposals. In addition, PNAC’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a stockholder. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, PNAC does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that its directors and officers would be likely to make after stockholder approval of the Business Combination has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further stockholder approval, if there were a change to the terms of the transaction that would have a material impact on the stockholders, PNAC will be required to circulate a new or amended proxy statement/prospectus or supplement thereto and resolicit the vote of its stockholders with respect to the Business Combination Proposal. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of PNAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination.” of this proxy statement/prospectus for a further discussion of these considerations.

Termination of the Business Combination Agreement could negatively impact PNAC and noco-noco.

If the Business Combination is not completed for any reason, including as a result of PNAC stockholders declining to approve the Proposals required to effect the Business Combination, the ongoing businesses of PNAC and noco-noco may be adversely impacted and, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the Business Combination, PNAC and noco-noco would be subject to a number of risks, including the following:

•

PNAC or noco-noco may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including negative impacts on the price of PNAC’s securities (including to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the Business Combination will be completed);

•

PNAC currently has until August 17, 2023 (or by November 17, 2023, if extended) to complete its initial business combination. This deadline may be extended by approval of PNAC stockholders in an amendment to its Existing PNAC Charter, but such an amendment would cause PNAC to incur substantial expenses to seek additional extension(s) and face increased risk to unwind and liquidate if it does not complete its initial business combination by August 17, 2023 (or by November 17, 2023, if extended, or such later date as may be approved by PNAC stockholders in an amendment to its Existing PNAC Charter);

•

noco-noco may experience negative reactions from its investors;

•

PNAC and noco-noco will have incurred substantial expenses and will be required to pay certain costs relating to the Business Combination, whether or not the Business Combination is consummated; and

•

since the Business Combination Agreement restricts the conduct of PNAC’s and noco-noco’s businesses prior to completion of the Business Combination, each of PNAC and noco-noco may not have been able to take certain actions during the pendency of the Business Combination that would have benefitted it as an independent company, and the opportunity to take such actions may no longer be available (see the sections entitled “The Business Combination Proposal” and “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus — Covenants and Agreements of the Parties” of this proxy statement/prospectus for a description of the restrictive covenants applicable to PNAC and noco-noco).

If the Business Combination Agreement is terminated and the Board seeks another merger or business combination, PNAC stockholders cannot be certain that PNAC will be able to find another acquisition target that would constitute a business combination or that such other merger or business combination will be completed. See the sections entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Termination” of this proxy statement prospectus for additional information.

The listing of PubCo’s securities on Nasdaq will not benefit from the process undertaken in connection with an underwritten initial public offering.

Upon the Closing, we intend to list the PubCo Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq under the symbol “NCNC”. Unlike an underwritten initial public offering of PubCo’s securities, the listing of PubCo’s securities as a result of the Business Combination will not benefit from the following:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

the book-building process undertaken by underwriters, which helps to inform efficient price discovery with respect to opening trades of newly listed securities;

•

underwriter support to help stabilize, maintain, or affect the public price of the securities immediately after listing; and

•

underwriter due diligence review of the offering and potential liability for material misstatements or omissions of fact in a prospectus used in connection with the securities being offered, or for statements made by its securities analysts or other personnel.

The lack of such a process in connection with the listing of PubCo’s securities could result in diminished investor demand, inefficiencies in pricing and a more volatile public price for PubCo’s securities during the period immediately following the listing than would typically be experienced in connection with an underwritten initial public offering.

The ability of PNAC stockholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of shares of PNAC Common Stock could increase the probability that the Business Combination would be unsuccessful and that PNAC stockholders would have to wait for liquidation in order to redeem their shares of PNAC Common Stock.

At the time we entered into the Business Combination Agreement and related transaction documents, we did not know how many stockholders would exercise their redemption rights, and therefore we structured the Business Combination based on our expectations as to the number of shares that will be submitted for redemption. The Business Combination Agreement requires us to have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets upon the consummation of the Business Combination, after giving effect to redemptions of PNAC Public Shares, if any, but before any transaction expenses. If a larger number of shares are submitted for redemption than we initially expected, this may limit our ability to complete the Business Combination or optimize our capital structure.

The consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned on, among other things, there being at least $20.0 million in Available PNAC Cash at the Closing. There is no guarantee that there will be $20.0 million Available PNAC Cash at the Closing. As this condition is for noco-noco’s benefit, it is possible that noco-noco could waive them prior to the Closing, subject to compliance with applicable Nasdaq listing requirements, although there is no guarantee that it would. If noco-noco did waive these conditions in these circumstances, it is possible that PubCo would have insufficient capital to conduct and grow its business after the Closing in the manner described in this proxy statement/prospectus or that PubCo would not be able to meet applicable Nasdaq listing requirements.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, among other things, consummation of the Business Combination is subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the respective parties of a number of conditions, including without limitation, the Available PNAC Cash at the Closing being no less than $20.0 million equal to the amount of cash available in the Trust Account following the Special Meeting, after deducting the amount required to satisfy the redemption by the PNAC Public Stockholders but prior to the payment of any deferred underwriting commissions being held in the Trust Account and the payment of any noco-noco Transaction Expenses or PNAC Transaction Expenses. It is uncertain how many PNAC stockholders might redeem their PNAC Public Shares, how many expenses will be incurred in connection with the Business Combination. As these conditions are for noco-noco’s benefit, it is possible that noco-noco could waive them prior to the Closing, subject to compliance with applicable Nasdaq listing requirements, although there is no guarantee that it would. If noco-noco did waive these conditions in these circumstances, it is possible that PubCo would have insufficient capital to conduct and grow its business after the Closing in the manner described in this proxy statement/prospectus or that PubCo would not be able to meet applicable Nasdaq listing requirements.

There is no guarantee that a stockholder’s decision to continue to hold shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares following the Business Combination will put the stockholder in a better future economic position than if they decided to redeem their PNAC Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account, and vice versa.

PNAC and PubCo can give no assurance as to the price at which a stockholder may be able to sell its PubCo Ordinary Shares in the future following the completion of the Business Combination or any alternative

TABLE OF CONTENTS

business combination. Certain events following the consummation of any initial business combination, including the Business Combination, may cause an increase in PNAC’s share price, and may result in a lower value realized now than a stockholder of PNAC might realize in the future had the stockholder redeemed their shares. Similarly, if a stockholder does not redeem their shares, the stockholder will bear the risk of ownership of the PNAC Public Shares after the consummation of any initial business combination, including the Business Combination, and there can be no assurance that a stockholder can sell its shares in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. A stockholder should consult the stockholder’s own tax and/or financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect such stockholder’s individual situation.

If PNAC stockholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement/ prospectus, they will not be entitled to redeem their PNAC Class A Common Stock for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account.

To exercise their redemption rights, holders of PNAC Class A Common Stock are required to deliver their shares, either physically or electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC System, to PNAC’s transfer agent prior to the vote at the Special Meeting. If a Public Stockholder fails to properly seek redemption as described in this proxy statement/prospectus and the Business Combination is consummated, such holder will not be entitled to redeem these shares for a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the Trust Account. See the section entitled “Special Meeting of PNAC stockholders — Redemption Rights” for additional information on how to exercise your redemption rights.

Stockholders of PNAC who wish to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account must comply with specific requirements for redemption that may make it more difficult for them to exercise their redemption rights prior to the deadline.

Public Stockholders who wish to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account must, among other things, as fully described in the section entitled “Special Meeting of PNAC stockholders — Redemption Rights,” deliver their shares (either physically or electronically) to VStock (or through DTC to VStock) prior to [ ], 2023.

If you or a “group” of stockholders of which you are a part are deemed to hold an aggregate of more than 15% of the aggregate PNAC Public Shares, you (or, if a member of such a group, all of the members of such group in the aggregate) will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 15% of the PNAC Public Shares.

A PNAC Public Stockholder, together with any of such PNAC Public Stockholder’s affiliates or any other person with whom such PNAC Public Stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate such Public Stockholder’s shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s shares, with respect to 15% or more of the aggregate PNAC Public Shares. In order to determine whether a stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with another stockholder, PNAC will require each PNAC Public Stockholder seeking to exercise redemption rights to certify to PNAC whether such stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with any other stockholder. Such certifications, together with other public information relating to stock ownership available to PNAC at that time, such as Section 13D, Section 13G and Section 16 filings under the Exchange Act, will be the sole basis on which PNAC makes the above-referenced determination. Your inability to redeem any such excess shares will reduce your influence over PNAC’s ability to consummate the Business Combination and you could suffer a material loss on your investment in PNAC if you sell such excess shares in open market transactions. Additionally, PNAC Public Stockholders will not receive redemption distributions with respect to such excess shares if PNAC consummates the Business Combination. As a result, you will continue to hold that number of shares aggregating to more than 15% of the PNAC Public Shares and, in order to dispose of such excess shares, would be required to sell your stock in open market transactions, potentially at a loss. While PNAC Class A Common Stock has not exceeded the $16.50 per-share redemption price, PNAC cannot assure you that the value of such excess shares will appreciate over time following the Business Combination or that the market price of PNAC Common Stock will exceed the per-share redemption price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, stockholders may challenge PNAC’s determination as to whether a stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with another stockholder in a court of competent jurisdiction.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

However, PNAC Public Stockholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including such excess shares) for or against the Business Combination is not restricted by this limitation on redemption.

PNAC Public Stockholders will not have any rights or interests in funds from the Trust Account, except under certain limited circumstances. To liquidate your investment, therefore, Public Stockholders may be forced to sell their PNAC Public Shares and/or PNAC Warrants, potentially at a loss.

Public Stockholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only upon the earlier to occur of: of (1) the completion of PNAC’s initial business combination, and then only in connection with those shares of PNAC Common Stock that such shareholders properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described herein, (2) the redemption of any PNAC Public Shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Existing PNAC Charter (A) to modify the substance or timing of PNAC’s obligation to provide holders of PNAC Common Stock the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with PNAC’s initial business combination or to redeem 100% of PNAC Public Shares if PNAC does not complete its initial business combination by August 17, 2023 (or by November 17, 2023, if extended) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of PNAC Common Stock, and (3) the redemption of PNAC Public Shares if it has not consummated its business combination by the Final Redemption Date, subject to applicable law. In no other circumstances will a Public Stockholder have any right or interest of any kind in the Trust Account. Holders of the PNAC Warrants and PNAC Rights will not have any right to the proceeds held in the Trust Account with respect to the PNAC Warrants or PNAC Rights. Accordingly, to liquidate your investment, you may be forced to sell your PNAC Public Shares, PNAC Warrants, or PNAC Rights potentially at a loss.

If PNAC is deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, PNAC may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and PNAC’s activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for PNAC to complete PNAC’s initial business combination.

If PNAC is deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, PNAC’s activities may be restricted, including:

•

restrictions on the nature of PNAC’s investments; and

•

restrictions on the issuance of securities; each of which may make it difficult for PNAC to complete PNAC’s initial business combination.

In addition, PNAC may have imposed upon PNAC burdensome requirements, including:

•

registration as an investment company;

•

adoption of a specific form of corporate structure; and

•

reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy, and disclosure requirements and other rules and regulations.

Since the consummation of the IPO, the proceeds held in the Trust Account have been be invested by the trustee in United States government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in United States Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. Because the investment of the proceeds will be restricted to these instruments, PNAC believes PNAC will meet the requirements for the exemption provided in Rule 3a-1 promulgated under the Investment Company Act. Nevertheless, it is possible that a claim could be made that PNAC has been operating as an unregistered investment company. If PNAC was deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, compliance with these additional regulatory burdens would require additional expenses for which PNAC has not allotted funds and may hinder PNAC’s ability to complete the Business Combination. PNAC might be forced to abandon its efforts to complete the Business Combination and instead be required to liquidate. If PNAC is required to liquidate, its investors would not be able to realize the benefits of owning stock in a successor operating business, such as any appreciation in the value of the PNAC’s securities following such a transaction, PNAC Rights and PNAC Warrants would expire worthless and PNAC’s public shares would have no value apart from their pro rata entitlement to the funds then-remaining in the Trust Account.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The longer that the funds in the Trust Account are held in short-term U.S. government treasury obligations or in money market funds invested exclusively in such securities there is a greater risk that PNAC may be considered an unregistered investment company, in which case PNAC may be required to liquidate.

We may not be able to complete the Business Combination if it is subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations and review by a U.S. government entity such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), or ultimately prohibited.

CFIUS is an interagency committee authorized to review certain transactions involving foreign investment in the United States by foreign persons in order to determine the effect of such transactions on the national security of the United States. Whether CFIUS has jurisdiction to review an acquisition or investment transaction depends on, among other factors, the nature and structure of the transaction, including the level of beneficial ownership interest and the nature of any information or governance rights involved.

Charlie Lu, a U.S. citizen, who, via a holding entity, owns 24,930 Class X Units and 45,150 Class Y Units of Membership Interests in Sponsor B, is entitled to receive the distribution of an equivalent of 70,080 shares of PNAC Class A Common Stock, or 1.01% of PNAC’s outstanding shares;

As a result, an aggregate of 1,208,541 shares, or 17.46% of PNAC’s outstanding shares are held indirectly by non-U.S. persons or persons with foreign citizenship. PNAC is therefore likely considered a “foreign person” under the regulations administered by CFIUS and will continue to be considered as such in the future for so long as the Sponsors have the ability to exercise control over PNAC for purposes of CFIUS’s regulations. Therefore, it could be subject to foreign ownership restrictions and/or CFIUS review if noco-noco is considered to be engaged in a regulated industry or which may affect national security.

Moreover, the scope of CFIUS review was expanded by the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (“FIRRMA”), to include certain non-passive, non-controlling investments in sensitive U.S. businesses and certain acquisitions of real estate even with no underlying U.S. business. FIRRMA’s implementing regulations, which became effective on February 13, 2020, expanded the scope of CFIUS’s jurisdiction to investments that do not result in control of a U.S. business by a foreign person but afford certain foreign investors certain information or governance rights in a U.S. business that has a nexus to “critical technologies,” “critical infrastructure” and/or “sensitive personal data.” In addition, the implementing regulations also subjects certain categories of investments to mandatory filings. If noco-noco’s business falls within CFIUS’s jurisdiction, we may determine that we are required to make a mandatory filing or that we will submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed with the initial business combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the Business Combination. CFIUS may decide to block or delay the Business Combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to the Business Combination or order us to divest all or a portion of PubCo’s business without first obtaining CFIUS clearance.

Notwithstanding the above, if our determination is not correct, or if the regulations change or are interpreted differently in the future, the Business Combination may be subject to CFIUS review or review by another U.S. governmental entity and ultimately prohibited. Even if it not prohibited, any review by CFIUS or another government entity may have outsized impacts on, among other things, the certainty, timing and feasibility of the Business Combination, which would significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to complete the Business Combination and force PNAC to liquidate and our warrants and rights to expire worthless, preventing the possibility of any price appreciation that may have occurred in our securities following the Business Combination.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

or because the Business Combination is ultimately prohibited by CFIUS or another U.S. government entity, it may be required to liquidate. If PNAC liquidates, its Public Stockholders may only receive $10.20 per share, and its warrants and rights will expire worthless. This will also cause you to lose the investment opportunity in noco-noco or another target company and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.

Changes in laws or regulations related to business combination transactions involving SPACs may materially adversely affect PNAC’s ability to negotiate and complete an initial business combination (including the proposed Business Combination with noco-noco).

PNAC is subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional, and local governments. In particular, PNAC will be required to comply with certain SEC and other legal requirements. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly.

Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could have a material adverse effect on PNAC’s business, investments, and results of operations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on PNAC’s business, including PNAC’s ability to negotiate and complete PNAC’s initial business combination and results of operations.

On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules relating to, among other items, enhancing disclosures in business combination transactions involving SPACs and private operating companies, amending the financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies, enhancing disclosures regarding projections in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination transactions, increasing the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions, and the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. These rules, if adopted, whether in the form proposed or in a revised form, may materially adversely affect PNAC’s ability to (i) complete the Business Combination with noco-noco, or (ii) if PNAC does not complete the Business Combination with noco-noco, to engage financial and capital market advisors and negotiate and complete an alternative initial business combination, and, in each case, may increase the costs and time related thereto.

A new 1% U.S. federal excise tax could be imposed on PNAC in connection with redemptions by PNAC of its shares in connection with a business combination or other stockholder vote pursuant to which stockholders would have a right to submit their shares for redemption (a “Redemption Event”).

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded domestic (i.e., U.S.) corporations and certain domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations.

The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its stockholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out, and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. In this regard, on December 27, 2022, the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service issued a notice announcing their intent to issue proposed regulations addressing the application of the excise tax, and describing certain rules on which taxpayers may rely prior to the issuance of such proposed regulations (the “Notice”).

Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022 in connection with a Redemption Event may be subject to the excise tax. Pursuant to the rules set forth in the Notice, however, redemptions in connection with a liquidation of PNAC are generally not subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent PNAC would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Redemption Event would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Redemption Event, (ii) the structure of the business combination, (iii) the nature and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with the business combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with the Redemption Event but issued within the same taxable year of the business combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other future guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by PNAC, and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined; however, PNAC will not use the funds held in the Trust Account or any additional amounts deposited into the Trust Account, as well as any interest earned thereon, to pay the excise tax, if any. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a business combination and in PNAC’s ability to complete a business combination.

Risks Related to PubCo and Ownership of PubCo’s Shares

The Nasdaq may not list the PubCo Ordinary Shares, which could limit investors’ ability to transact in PubCo Ordinary Shares and could subject PubCo to additional trading restrictions.

PubCo intends to apply to have the PubCo Ordinary Shares listed on the Nasdaq upon consummation of the Business Combination. PubCo will be required to meet the initial listing requirements to be listed. PubCo may not be able to meet those initial listing requirements. Even if the PubCo Ordinary Shares are so listed, it may be unable to maintain the listing of such securities in the future.

If PubCo fails to meet the initial listing requirements and the Nasdaq does not list the PubCo Ordinary Shares, and if the related closing condition is waived by the parties in order to consummate the Business Combination, thereafter PubCo could face significant material adverse consequences, including a limited availability of market quotations for the PubCo Ordinary Shares, a limited amount of news and analyst coverage on the company, and a decreased ability to issue additional PubCo Ordinary Shares or obtain additional financing in the future.

The market price and trading volume of the PubCo Ordinary Shares may be volatile and could decline significantly following the Business Combination.

The stock markets, including the Nasdaq on which PubCo intends to list the PubCo Ordinary Shares to be issued in the Business Combination, have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. Even if an active, liquid and orderly trading market develops and is sustained for the PubCo Ordinary Shares following the Business Combination, the market prices of the PubCo Ordinary Shares may be volatile and could decline significantly. In addition, the trading volumes in the PubCo Ordinary Shares may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. If the market prices of the PubCo Ordinary Shares decline significantly, you may be unable to resell your PubCo Ordinary Shares at or above the market price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares as of the date immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination. There can be no assurance that the market prices of the PubCo Ordinary Shares will not fluctuate widely or decline significantly in the future in response to a number of factors, including, among others, the following:

•

the realization of any of the risk factors presented in this proxy statement/prospectus;

•

actual or anticipated differences in our estimates, or in the estimates of analysts, for PubCo’s revenues, results of operations, cash flows, level of indebtedness, liquidity or financial condition;

•

announcements by PubCo or its competitors of significant business developments;

•

changes in clients;

•

acquisitions or expansion plans;

•

PubCo’s involvement in litigation;

•

sale of PubCo Ordinary Shares or other securities in the future;

•

market conditions in PubCo’s industry;

•

changes in key personnel;

•

the trading volume of PubCo Ordinary Shares;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

actual, potential or perceived control, accounting or reporting problems;

•

changes in accounting principles, policies and guidelines;

•

other events or factors, including but not limited to those resulting from infectious diseases, health epidemics and pandemics (including but not limited to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic), natural disasters, war, acts of terrorism or responses to these events; and

•

general economic and market conditions.

In addition, the stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against that company. If PubCo were involved in any similar litigation it could incur substantial costs and our management’s attention and resources could be diverted.

We do not know whether a market will develop for the PubCo Ordinary Shares or what the market price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares will be and, as a result, it may be difficult for holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares to sell their PubCo Ordinary Shares.

Before the offering, there was no public trading market for PubCo Ordinary Shares. Although we have applied to list the PubCo Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq, an active trading market for the PubCo Ordinary Shares may never develop or be sustained following this offering. If a market for the PubCo Ordinary Shares does not develop or is not sustained, it may be difficult for holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares to sell their PubCo Ordinary Shares at an attractive price, if at all. This risk will be exacerbated if there is a high level of redemptions of PNAC Public Shares in connection with the closing of the Business Combination.

PubCo will issue PubCo Ordinary Shares as consideration for the Business Combination, and PubCo may issue additional PubCo Ordinary Shares or other equity or convertible debt securities without approval of the holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares, which would dilute existing ownership interests and may depress the market price of PubCo Ordinary Shares.

In connection with the Business Combination, PubCo is expected to issue a large amount of Ordinary Shares as consideration to be paid to the former shareholders of noco-noco and PNAC. It is anticipated that, following the Business Combination, (i) former noco-noco shareholders are expected to own approximately 93.85% of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares, (ii) former PNAC Public Stockholders are expected to own approximately 4.21% of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares, (iii) Sponsors, officers and directors and their designees are expected to own approximately 1.48% of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares. These percentages are based on the issued and outstanding securities of PNAC as of the Record Date and assume no redemption of PNAC Class A common stock. If the actual facts differ from these assumptions, these percentages will differ.

PubCo may continue to require capital investment to support its business, and PubCo may issue additional PubCo Ordinary Shares or other equity or convertible debt securities of equal or senior rank in the future without approval of the holders of the PubCo Ordinary Shares in certain of circumstances.

PubCo’s issuance of additional PubCo Ordinary Shares or other equity or convertible debt securities would have the following effects: (i) PubCo’s existing shareholders’ proportionate ownership interest in PubCo may decrease; (ii) the amount of cash available per share, including for payment of dividends in the future, may decrease; (iii) the relative voting power of each previously outstanding PubCo Ordinary Share may be diminished; and (iv) the market price of PubCo Ordinary Shares may decline.

Furthermore, employees, directors or consultants of PubCo and its subsidiaries and affiliates, after the Business Combination, are expected to be granted equity awards under the PubCo Incentive Plan. You will experience additional dilution when those equity awards and purchase rights become vested and settled or exercised, as applicable, for PubCo Ordinary Shares. See “Management of PubCo Following the Business Combination — Share Incentive Plan.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

There will be material differences between your current rights as a holder of PNAC Public Shares and the rights one will have as a holder of PubCo Ordinary Shares, some of which may adversely affect you.

Upon completion of the Business Combination, PNAC stockholders will no longer be stockholders of PNAC, but will be shareholders of PubCo. There will be material differences between the current rights of PNAC stockholders and the rights you will have as a holder of the PubCo Ordinary Shares, some of which may adversely affect you. For a more detailed discussion of the differences in the rights of PNAC stockholders and the PubCo shareholders, see “Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights.”

Upon completion of the Business Combination, PNAC stockholders will become PubCo shareholders, PNAC warrant holders will become holders of PubCo Warrants and the market price for the PubCo Ordinary Shares may be affected by factors different from those that historically have affected PNAC.

Upon completion of the Business Combination, PNAC stockholders will become PubCo shareholders and PNAC’s warrant holders will become holders of PubCo Warrants, which may be exercised to acquire PubCo Ordinary Shares. PubCo’s business differs from that of PNAC, and, accordingly, the results of operations of PubCo will be affected by some factors that are different from those currently affecting the results of operations of PNAC. PNAC is a special purpose acquisition company incorporated in the state of Delaware that is not engaged in any operating activity, directly or indirectly. PubCo is a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands and, after the consummation of the Business Combination its subsidiaries will be engaged in battery and carbon businesses in Asia-Pacific region. PubCo’s business and results of operations will be affected by regional, country, and industry risks and operating risks to which PNAC was not exposed. For a discussion of the future business of PubCo currently conducted and proposed to be conducted by noco-noco, see “noco-noco’s Business” and “— Risks Related to noco-noco’s Business and Industry.”

PubCo Warrants will become exercisable for PubCo Ordinary Shares 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to PNAC stockholders. Such dilution will increase if more of the PNAC Public Shares are redeemed.

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, pursuant to the Warrant Assumption Agreement, each PNAC Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall cease to be a warrant with respect to PNAC Common Stock, and shall be assumed by PubCo and converted into a warrant of PubCo to purchase one PubCo Ordinary Share, subject to substantially the same terms and conditions prior to the consummation of the Business Combination), which will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination. The likelihood that those PubCo Warrants will be exercised increases if the trading price of PubCo Ordinary Shares exceeds the exercise price of the PubCo Warrants. The exercise price of these warrants will be $11.50 per share. Based on the closing price of PNAC Warrants of $0.05 on Nasdaq on July 13, 2023, such PNAC Warrants have an aggregate market value of approximately $161,250. However, there is no guarantee that the PubCo Warrants will ever be in the money after they become exercisable but prior to their expiration, and as such, the PubCo Warrants may expire worthless.

To the extent PubCo Warrants are exercised, additional shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares will be issued, which will result in dilution to the holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. The dilution caused by the exercise of the PubCo Warrants will increase if a large number of PNAC Public Stockholders elect to redeem their shares in connection with the Business Combination. Holders of PNAC Warrants do not have a right to redeem the PNAC Warrants. Further, the redemption of PNAC Common Stock without any accompanying redemption of PNAC Warrants will increase the dilutive effect of the exercise of PNAC Warrants. Sales of substantial numbers of shares issued upon the exercise of PNAC Warrants in the public market or the potential that PNAC Warrants may be exercised could also adversely affect the market price of PubCo Ordinary Shares.

Redeeming shareholders who retain PNAC Warrants will receive PubCo Warrants, the cost of which is borne by PubCo and non-redeeming shareholders. In addition, PubCo may redeem the outstanding PubCo Warrants at a price of $0.01 per warrant.

PNAC Stockholders holding both PNAC Class A Common Stock and PNAC Warrants may redeem their PNAC Class A Common Stock but retain the PNAC Warrants, which, if the Business Combination

TABLE OF CONTENTS

closes, will become PubCo Warrants. The cost of those retained warrants is borne by PubCo and the non-redeeming shareholders. In addition, once the PubCo Warrants become exercisable, PubCo may redeem the outstanding PubCo Warrants at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon a minimum number of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, and if the last sales price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $16.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending three business days before PubCo sends the notice of redemption. For context, as of the close of trading on July 13, 2023 (the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus), the trading price of PNAC Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq was $10.56, and the highest and lowest closing price of the PNAC Class A Common Stock during the prior three months was $10.60 and $10.39, respectively. Once PubCo Warrants become exercisable after 30 days following the consummation of the Business Combination and PubCo calls for the force redemption once the conditions are met. redemption of the outstanding PubCo Warrants could force holders (i) to exercise their PubCo Warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for them to do so, (ii) to sell PubCo Warrants at the then-current market price when they might otherwise wish to hold PubCo Warrants or (iii) to accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding PubCo Warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of the PubCo Warrants.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research, publish inaccurate or unfavorable research or cease publishing research about PubCo, its share price and trading volume could decline significantly.

The trading market for PubCo Ordinary Shares will depend, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about PubCo or its business. PubCo may be unable to sustain coverage by well-regarded securities and industry analysts. If either none or only a limited number of securities or industry analysts maintain coverage of PubCo, or if these securities or industry analysts are not widely respected within the general investment community, the demand for PubCo Ordinary Shares could decrease, which might cause its share price and trading volume to decline significantly. In the event that PubCo obtains securities or industry analyst coverage, if one or more of the analysts who cover PubCo downgrade their assessment of PubCo or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about PubCo’s business, the market price and liquidity for PubCo Ordinary Shares could be negatively impacted.

Future resales of PubCo Ordinary Shares issued to noco-noco shareholders and other significant shareholders may cause the market price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares to drop significantly, even if PubCo’s business is doing well.

Under the Business Combination Agreement, the noco-noco shareholders will receive, among other things, 93.85% of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares, 18.44% (or about 17.31% of all outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares) which will be eligible for sale immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination. These percentages are based on the issued and outstanding securities of PNAC as of the Record Date and assume no redemption of PNAC Public Shares. If the actual facts differ from these assumptions, these percentages will differ. Pursuant to the Lock-up Agreements, certain Sellers and PNAC Initial Stockholders will be restricted, subject to certain exceptions, from selling any of the PubCo Ordinary Shares that they receive as a result of the Business Combination, which restrictions will expire upon expiration of the Lock-up Period and therefore additional PubCo Ordinary Shares will be eligible for resale as follows.

Subject to the Lock-up Agreements, certain Sellers and PNAC Initial Stockholders may sell PubCo Ordinary Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available. In these cases, the resales must meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule, including, because PNAC and PubCo are currently shell companies, waiting until one year after PubCo’s filing with the SEC of a Form 20-F transition report reflecting the Business Combination. See “Shares Eligible for Future Sale — Lock-up Agreements.”

Upon expiration or waiver of the applicable Lock-up Period, and upon effectiveness of the registration statement PubCo files pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement or upon satisfaction of the requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, certain noco-noco shareholders and certain Sellers and PNAC Initial Stockholders may sell large amounts of PubCo Ordinary Shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, which could have the effect of increasing the volatility in PubCo’s share price or putting

TABLE OF CONTENTS

significant downward pressure on the price of the PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares. See “Shares Eligible for Future Sale — Registration Rights” and “Shares Eligible for Future Sale — Rule 144.”

PNAC’s Warrant Agreement, which is being assigned to PubCo pursuant to the Warrant Assumption Agreement upon the Closing of the Business Combination and under which one PNAC Warrant will become one PubCo Warrant upon such Closing, designates the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by holders of the warrants, which could limit the ability of warrant holders to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with PubCo in connection with such warrants.

Under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, PNAC’s Warrant Agreement is being assigned by PNAC to PubCo at the Closing of the Business Combination. In connection with this assignment, each PNAC warrant will convert into a PubCo Warrant at such time and all of the terms of the Warrant Agreement not amended by the Warrant Assumption Agreement will remain in effect and applicable to each warrant holder and to PubCo after such Closing.

The Warrant Agreement provides that, subject to applicable law, (i) any action, proceeding or claim against PNAC arising out of or relating in any way to the warrant agreement will be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and (ii) that PNAC irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be the exclusive forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. PNAC has waived any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, these provisions of the Warrant Agreement will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any of PNAC’s warrants shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the forum provisions in the Warrant Agreement. If any action, the subject matter of which is within the scope the forum provisions of the Warrant Agreement, is filed in a court other than a court of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (a “foreign action”) in the name of any holder of PNAC’s warrants, such warrant holder shall be deemed to have consented to: (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts within the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the forum provisions (an “enforcement action”), and (y) having service of process made upon such warrant holder in any such enforcement action by service upon such warrant holder’s counsel in the foreign action as agent for such warrant holder.

In addition, the exclusive forum provisions of the foregoing paragtaph will apply to suit, action, proceeding or claim against the Company arising out of or relating and under the Securities Act. We note, however, that there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such a provision and that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for state and federal courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

Since the provisions of the Warrant Agreement will continue to apply unless amended by the Warrant Assumption Agreement after the Closing of the Business Combination and the conversion of each warrant from a PNAC warrant into a PubCo Warrant, and since the choice-of-forum and related provisions have not been amended by the Warrant Assumption Agreement, the choice-of-forum provision will continue to limit a warrant holder’s ability after the Closing of the Business Combination to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with PubCo, which may discourage such lawsuits. Alternatively, if a court were to find this provision of the Warrant Agreement inapplicable or unenforceable with respect to one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, PubCo may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations and result in a diversion of the time and resources of PubCo’s management and board of directors.

The requirements of being a public company may strain PubCo’s resources, divert PubCo management’s attention and affect PubCo’s ability to attract and retain qualified board members.

PubCo will incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses following completion of the Business Combination. PubCo will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act, the Nasdaq listing requirements and other applicable securities rules and

100

TABLE OF CONTENTS

regulations. These expenses may increase even more if PubCo no longer qualifies as an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that PubCo file annual and current reports with respect to its business and operating results. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that PubCo maintains effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. PubCo may need to hire more employees post-Business Combination or engage outside consultants to comply with these requirements, which will increase its post-Business Combination costs and expenses.

Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs and making some activities more time-consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. PubCo expects these laws and regulations to increase its legal and financial compliance costs after the Business Combination and to render some activities more time-consuming and costly, although PubCo is currently unable to estimate these costs with any degree of certainty.

PubCo’s management team has limited experience managing a publicly traded company, interacting with public company investors and complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies. PubCo’s management team may not successfully or efficiently manage the transition to being a public company subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under the federal securities laws and regulations and the continuous scrutiny of securities analysts and investors. The need to establish the corporate infrastructure demanded of a public company may divert the management’s attention from implementing its growth strategy, which could prevent PubCo from improving its business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, PubCo expects these rules and regulations to make it more difficult and more expensive for PubCo to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and consequently PubCo may be required to incur substantial costs to obtain such coverage. These additional obligations could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. These factors could also make it more difficult for PubCo to attract and retain qualified members of its board of directors, particularly to serve on PubCo’s audit and risk committee, remuneration committee and nominating committee, and qualified executive officers.

As a result of disclosure of information in this proxy statement/prospectus and in filings required of a public company, PubCo’s business and financial condition will become more visible, which may result in threatened or actual litigation, including by competitors and other third parties. If such claims are successful, PubCo’s business and operating results could be adversely affected, and, even if the claims do not result in litigation or are resolved in PubCo’s favor, these claims, and the time and resources necessary to resolve them, could have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

PubCo will be an “emerging growth company” and it cannot be certain if the reduced SEC reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make PubCo’s Ordinary Shares less attractive to investors, which could have a material and adverse effect on PubCo, including its growth prospects.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, PubCo will be an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. PubCo will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Business Combination, (b) in which PubCo has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion or (c) in which PubCo is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of PubCo Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of PubCo’s prior second fiscal quarter, and (ii) the date on which PubCo issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period. PubCo intends to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to most other public companies, whether or not they are classified as “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, an exemption from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that PubCo’s independent registered public accounting firm provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting and reduced disclosure obligations

101

regarding executive compensation, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Furthermore, even after PubCo no longer qualifies as an “emerging growth company,” as long as PubCo continues to qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, PubCo will be exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including, but not limited to, the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act; the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information, and current reports on Form 8-K, upon the occurrence of specified significant events. In addition, PubCo will not be required to file annual reports and financial statements with the SEC as promptly as U.S. domestic companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act, and are not required to comply with Regulation FD, which restricts the selective disclosure of material information. See “— Risks Related to PubCo and Ownership of PubCo’s Shares — PubCo is a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands and will qualify as a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act, and as such PubCo is exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States domestic public companies.”

As a result, PubCo shareholders may not have access to certain information they deem important. PubCo cannot predict if investors will find PubCo Ordinary Shares less attractive because it relies on these exemptions. If some investors do find PubCo Ordinary Shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market and share price for PubCo Ordinary Shares may be more volatile.

PubCo is a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands and will qualify as a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act, and as such PubCo is exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States domestic public companies.

PubCo is a foreign private issuer as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act and is a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, and, after the consummation of the Business Combination, will be listed on the Nasdaq. The Nasdaq market rules permit a foreign private issuer like PubCo to follow the corporate governance practices of its home country. Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is PubCo’s home country, may differ significantly from the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards applicable to domestic U.S. companies.

Because PubCo will qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, PubCo is exempt from certain provisions of the securities rules and regulations in the United States that are applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, including: (i) the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K with the SEC; (ii) the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents, or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act; (iii) the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and (iv) the selective disclosure rules by issuers of material nonpublic information under Regulation FD.

In addition, PubCo is not required to have: (i) a majority of the board of directors consist of independent directors; (ii) a compensation committee consisting of independent directors; (iii) a nominating and corporate committee consisting of independent directors; or (iv) regularly scheduled executive sessions with only independent directors each year.

PubCo intends to rely on some of the exemptions listed above. As a result, you may not be provided with the benefits of certain corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq applicable to U.S. domestic public companies.

PubCo will be required to file an annual report on Form 20-F within four months of the end of each fiscal year. Press releases relating to financial results and material events will also be furnished to the SEC

102

TABLE OF CONTENTS

on Form 6-K. However, the information PubCo is required to file with or furnish to the SEC will be less extensive and less timely compared to that required to be filed with the SEC by U.S. domestic issuers. Accordingly, after the Business Combination, if you continue to hold PubCo Ordinary Shares, you may receive less or different information about PubCo than you currently receive about Bridgetown 2 or that you would receive about a U.S. domestic public company.

The determination of foreign private issuer status is made annually on the last business day of an issuer’s most recently completed second fiscal quarter and, accordingly, the next determination will be made with respect to PubCo on June 30, 2023.

In the future, PubCo could lose its status as a foreign private issuer under current SEC rules and regulations if more than 50% of PubCo’s outstanding voting securities become directly or indirectly held of record by U.S. holders and any one of the following is true: (i) the majority of PubCo’s directors or executive officers are U.S. citizens or residents; (ii) more than 50% of PubCo’s assets are located in the United States; or (iii) PubCo’s business is administered principally in the United States. If PubCo loses its status as a foreign private issuer in the future, it will no longer be exempt from the rules described above and, among other things, will be required to file periodic reports and annual and quarterly financial statements as if it were a company incorporated in the United States. If this were to happen, PubCo would likely incur substantial costs in fulfilling these additional regulatory requirements, including costs related to the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and members of PubCo’s management would likely have to divert time and resources from other responsibilities to ensuring these additional regulatory requirements are fulfilled.

Because we are a “controlled company” as defined in the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules, you may not have protections of certain corporate governance requirements which otherwise are required by Nasdaq’s rules.

Under Nasdaq’s rules, a controlled company is a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company. We are a controlled company because 3DOM Alliance, our parent company, holds more than 50% of our voting power, and we expect we will continue to be a controlled company upon completion of this offering. For so long as we remain a controlled company, we are not required to comply with the following permitted to elect to rely, and may rely, on certain exemptions from the obligation to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including:

•

our board of directors is not required to be comprised of a majority of independent directors.

•

our board of directors is not subject to the compensation committee requirement; and

•

we are not subject to the requirements that director nominees be selected either by the independent directors or a nomination committee comprised solely of independent directors.

You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and certain judgement obtained against our directors and officers may not be enforceable.

PubCo is an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and following the Business Combination, will conduct a majority of its operations through its subsidiary, noco-noco, outside the United States. Substantially all of PubCo’s assets are located outside the United States. All of PubCo’s current officers and directors are nationals and residents of countries other than the United States and a substantial portion of the assets of those persons are located outside of the United States. As a result, it could be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against PubCo or against these individuals outside of the United States in the event that you believe that your rights have been infringed upon under the applicable securities laws or otherwise and it will be difficult to effect service of process within the United States upon PubCo’s officers or directors, or enforce judgments obtained in United States

103

TABLE OF CONTENTS

courts against PubCo’s officers or directors. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the Cayman Islands and of the jurisdictions that comprise the Asian region could render you unable to enforce a judgment against PubCo’s assets or the assets of PubCo’s directors and officers. In addition, it is unclear if any applicable extradition treaties now in effect between the United States and Asia markets would permit effective enforcement of criminal penalties of U.S. federal securities laws.

In addition, PubCo’s corporate affairs will be governed by the Amended PubCo Charter, the Cayman Islands Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary duties of PubCo’s directors to PubCo under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from the common law of England and Wales, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding, on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of PubCo’s shareholders and the fiduciary duties of PubCo’s directors under Cayman Islands law may not be as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws than the United States. Some U.S. states, such as Delaware, may have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law than the Cayman Islands. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States.

Shareholders of Cayman Islands exempted companies like PubCo have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records (other than the memorandum and articles of association, any special resolutions passed by such companies and the register of mortgages and charges of such companies) or to obtain copies of lists of shareholders of these companies. PubCo’s directors will have discretion under the Amended PubCo Charter to determine whether or not, and under what conditions, PubCo’s corporate records may be inspected by its shareholders, but PubCo is not obliged to make them available to the shareholders (subject to limited circumstances in which an inspector may be appointed to report on the affairs of PubCo). This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest. See “Description of PubCo Securities — Inspection of Books and Records.”

The courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (i) to recognize or enforce judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state securities laws; and (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state securities laws, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive and for a liquidated sum, and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple damages may well be held to be contrary to public policy). A Cayman Islands court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

PubCo is permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from the Nasdaq listing standards. These practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if we complied fully with corporate governance listing standards.

Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is PubCo’s home country, differ significantly from corporate governance listing standards as, except for general fiduciary duties and duties of care, Cayman Islands law has no corporate governance regime which prescribes specific corporate governance standards. To the extent PubCo chooses to follow home country practice with respect to corporate governance matters, its shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would have under corporate governance listing standards applicable to U.S. domestic issuers.

104

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As a result of all of the above, PubCo’s shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of the board of directors or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States.

The ability of PubCo’s operating subsidiaries after the consummation of the Business Combination in certain Asia markets to distribute dividends to PubCo may be subject to restrictions under their respective laws.

PubCo is a holding company, and its operating subsidiaries after the consummation of the Business Combination may be located in Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, India, Australia, or PNG. Part of PubCo’s primary internal sources of funds to meet its cash needs will be its share of the dividends, if any, paid by PubCo’s operating subsidiaries. The distribution of dividends to PubCo from the operating subsidiaries in these markets as well as other markets where PubCo may operate is subject to restrictions imposed by the applicable laws and regulations in these markets.

It is not expected that PubCo will pay dividends in the foreseeable future after the Business Combination.

It is expected that PubCo will retain most, if not all, of its available funds and any future earnings after the Business Combination to fund the development and growth of its business. As a result, it is not expected that PubCo will pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Following completion of the Business Combination, PubCo’s board of directors will have complete discretion as to whether to distribute dividends, subject to certain requirements of Cayman Islands law. In addition, our shareholders may by ordinary resolution declare a dividend, but no dividend may exceed the amount recommended by our directors. Under Cayman Islands law, a Cayman Islands company may pay a dividend out of either profit or share premium account, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in the company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. Even if the board of directors decides to declare and pay dividends, the timing, amount and form of future dividends, if any, will depend on the future results of operations and cash flow, capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by PubCo from its operating subsidiaries, PubCo’s financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by the board of directors. There is no guarantee that the shares of PubCo will appreciate in value after the Business Combination or that the trading price of the shares will not decline. Holders of the PubCo Ordinary Shares should not rely on an investment in PubCo Ordinary Shares as a source for any future dividend income. You may not realize a return on your investment in PubCo Ordinary Shares and you may even lose your entire investment in our ordinary shares.

Cayman Islands economic substance requirements may have an effect on our business and operations.

Pursuant to the International Tax Cooperation (Economic Substance) Act, 2018 of the Cayman Islands, or the ES Act, that came into force on January 1, 2019, a “relevant entity” is required to satisfy the economic substance test set out in the ES Act. A “relevant entity” includes an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands as is PubCo. Based on the current interpretation of the ES Act, we believe that PubCo is a pure equity holding company since it only holds equity participation in other entities and only earns dividends and capital gains. Accordingly, for so long as PubCo is a “pure equity holding company”, it is only subject to the minimum substance requirements, which require us to (i) comply with all applicable filing requirements under the Cayman Islands Companies Act; and (ii) has adequate human resources and adequate premises in the Cayman Islands for holding and managing equity participations in other entities. However, there can be no assurance that PubCo will not be subject to more requirements under the ES Act. Uncertainties over the interpretation and implementation of the ES Act may have an adverse impact on the business and operations of PubCo.

PubCo will grant in the future, share incentives, which may result in increased share-based compensation expenses.

In February 2023, in connection with the Business Combination, PubCo’s board of directors adopted and PubCo’s shareholders approved the noco-noco Inc. 2023 Equity Incentive Plan, or the PubCo Incentive Plan. Initially, the maximum number of PubCo Ordinary Shares that may be issued under the PubCo Incentive Plan after it becomes effective will be five percent (5%) of the fully diluted share capital of PubCo

105

TABLE OF CONTENTS

that are outstanding upon consummation of the Business Combination. The PubCo Incentive Plan permits the awards of dividend equivalents, options, restricted shares, restricted share units, share appreciation rights or other rights or benefits to employees, directors and consultants of PubCo and its subsidiaries and affiliates. For more information on the share incentive plan, see “Management of PubCo Following the Business Combination — Share Incentive Plan.” PubCo believes the granting of share-based compensation is of significant importance to its ability to attract and retain key personnel and employees, and will do so after the consummation of the Business Combination. As a result, expenses associated with share-based compensation may increase, which may have an adverse effect on PubCo’s business and results of operations.

If PubCo Ordinary Shares are not eligible for deposit and clearing within the facilities of the Depository Trust Company, then transactions in the PubCo Ordinary Shares may be disrupted.

The facilities of DTC are a widely used mechanism that allow for rapid electronic transfers of securities between the participants in the DTC system, which include many large banks and brokerage firms. PubCo expects that PubCo Ordinary Shares will be eligible for deposit and clearing within the DTC system. DTC is not obligated to accept PubCo Ordinary Shares for deposit and clearing within its facilities in connection with the listing and, even if DTC does initially accept PubCo Ordinary Shares, it will generally have discretion to cease to act as a depository and clearing agency for PubCo Ordinary Shares.

If DTC determines prior to the completion of the transactions that PubCo Ordinary Shares are not eligible for clearance within the DTC system, then PubCo would not expect to complete the transactions and the listing contemplated by this proxy statement/prospectus in its current form. However, if DTC determines at any time after the completion of the transactions and the listing that PubCo Ordinary Shares were not eligible for continued deposit and clearance within its facilities, then PubCo believes PubCo Ordinary Shares would not be eligible for continued listing on a U.S. securities exchange and trading in the shares would be disrupted. While PubCo would pursue alternative arrangements to preserve its listing and maintain trading, any such disruption could have a material adverse effect on the market price of PubCo Ordinary Shares.

Risks Related to Taxation

The Merger may be a taxable event for U.S. Holders of PNAC Common Stock and PNAC Warrants.

Subject to the limitations and qualifications described in “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders,” the Merger should qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code and, as a result, a U.S. Holder (as defined in “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders”) should not recognize gain or loss on the exchange of PNAC securities for PubCo Ordinary Shares, as applicable, pursuant to the Business Combination. However, if the Merger does not qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code for any reason, a U.S. Holder that exchanges its PNAC securities for the consideration under the Business Combination will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the fair market value of the PubCo Ordinary Shares received and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the PNAC securities exchanged.

PubCo may be or become a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”), which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders.

If PubCo (or its predecessor PNAC) is a PFIC for any taxable year, or portion thereof, that is included in the holding period of a beneficial owner of the PubCo Ordinary Shares that is a U.S. Holder, such U.S. Holder may be subject to certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences and may be subject to additional reporting requirements. Following the Merger, assuming that the Merger qualifies as an “F” reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, and/or as a “forward triangular merger” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(2)(D), PubCo will be treated as the successor to PNAC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and for the taxable year that includes the Business Combination and subsequent taxable years, the PFIC asset and income tests will be applied based on the assets and activities of the combined business.

106

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Based on the anticipated timing of the Business Combination, the anticipated assets and income of PubCo and the application of the start-up exception, PNAC or its successor, PubCo (as the case may be), are not currently expected to be treated as a PFIC for the current taxable year ending on December 31, 2023 or the foreseeable future. However, the facts on which any determination of PFIC status are based may not be known until the close of each taxable year in question, and, in the case of the current taxable year, until as late as the close of two subsequent taxable years. Additionally, there is uncertainty regarding the application of the start-up exception.

See “Material Tax Considerations — United States Federal Income Tax Considerations — PFIC Considerations” for a more detailed discussion with respect to PubCo’s PFIC status. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the possible application of the PFIC rules to holders of the PubCo Ordinary Shares.

SPECIAL MEETING OF PNAC STOCKHOLDERS

General

PNAC is furnishing this proxy statement/prospectus to PNAC stockholders as part of the solicitation of proxies by PNAC’s board of directors for use at the Special Meeting of PNAC stockholders to be held on [ ], 2023, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. This proxy statement/prospectus is first being furnished to PNAC stockholders on or about [ ], 2023 in connection with the vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus. This proxy statement/prospectus provides PNAC stockholders with information they need to know to be able to vote or instruct their vote to be cast at the Special Meeting.

Date, Time and Place

The Special Meeting of shareholders shall be held on [ ], 2023 at [ ] AM, Eastern time. The Special Meeting shall be held virtually via live webcast at [ ]. Should PNAC stockholders attend the Special Meeting virtually, each may vote and submit questions during the Special Meeting by visiting [ ] and entering their control number. We are pleased to utilize virtual shareholder meeting technology to (i) provide ready access and cost savings for PNAC stockholders and PNAC, and (ii) to promote social distancing pursuant to guidance provided by the CDC and the SEC due to COVID-19. The virtual meeting format allows attendance from any location in the world.

Purpose of PNAC Special Meeting

At the Special Meeting, PNAC is asking holders of PNAC Common Stock to:

•

consider and vote upon the Business Combination Proposal;

•

consider and vote upon the Governing Documents Proposal; and

•

if presented, consider and vote upon the Adjournment Proposal.

Recommendation of PNAC Board of Directors FOR the Business Combination, the Governing Documents Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal

PNAC’s board of directors has unanimously determined that the Business Combination Proposal, and the Governing Documents Proposal are fair to and in the best interests of PNAC; has unanimously approved the Business Combination Proposal, and the Governing Documents Proposal; unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal and “FOR” the Governing Documents Proposal; and unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal if it is presented to the meeting.

Record Date; Outstanding Shares; Shareholders Entitled to Vote

PNAC has fixed the close of business on July 13, 2023, as the “Record Date” for determining PNAC stockholders entitled to notice of and to attend and vote at the Special Meeting. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. PNAC Units, PNAC Warrants and PNAC

108

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Rights do not have voting rights. As of the close of business on the Record Date, there were 6,923,691 shares of PNAC Class A Common Stock and no shares of PNAC Class B Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each PNAC Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share at the Special Meeting.

Quorum

The presence, by means of remote communication or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of all the issued and outstanding PNAC Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting constitutes a quorum at the Special Meeting. As of the Record Date for the Special Meeting, 3,461,846 PNAC Common Stock would be required to achieve a quorum.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Proxies that are marked “abstain” and proxies relating to “street name” shares that are returned to PNAC but marked by brokers as “not voted” will be treated as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum on all matters, but they will not be treated as shares voted on the matter. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank, or nominee. We believe all the proposals presented to the shareholders will be considered non-discretionary and therefore your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction.

Vote Required

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal if presented will require the consent of the meeting, which means a simple majority of the votes which are cast by those shareholders of PNAC who are present, in person or by proxy, and vote thereupon at the Special Meeting.

Voting Your Shares

Each share of PNAC Common Stock that you own in your name entitles you to one vote. Your proxy card shows the number of shares of PNAC Common Stock that you own. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

There are two ways to vote your shares of PNAC Common Stock at the Special Meeting:

•

You can vote by signing and returning the enclosed proxy card. If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares will be voted as recommended by the PNAC Board “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Governing Documents Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented to the Special Meeting. Votes received after a matter has been voted upon at the Special Meeting will not be counted; or

•

You can attend the Special Meeting virtually and vote electronically.

Beneficial shareholders who wish to attend the Special Meeting must obtain a legal proxy by contacting their account representative at the bank, broker, or other nominee that holds their shares and e-mailing a copy (a legible photograph is sufficient) of their legal proxy to ksmith@advantageproxy.com. Beneficial shareholders who email a valid legal proxy shall be issued a meeting control number that shall allow them to register to attend and participate in the Special Meeting. After contacting our transfer agent, a beneficial

109

TABLE OF CONTENTS

holder shall receive an email prior to the meeting with a link and instructions for entering the Special Meeting. Beneficial shareholders should contact our transfer agent at least five business days prior to the meeting date.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you are a shareholder and you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

•

you may send another proxy card with a later date; or

•

you may notify PNAC, in writing, before the Special Meeting that you have revoked your proxy (if you do so, you may attend the Special Meeting virtually and vote via electronic communication, as indicated above).

Who Can Answer Your Questions About Voting Your Shares

If you are a PNAC stockholder and have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your shares of PNAC Common Stock, you may call Advantage Proxy, Inc., PNAC’s proxy solicitor, at +1 (877) 870-8565, or banks and brokers can call +1 (877) 870-8565, or by email at ksmith@advantageproxy.com.

Redemption Rights

PNAC Public Stockholders may seek to have their shares redeemed for cash, regardless of whether they vote or, if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal or the Governing Documents Proposal. Any PNAC Public Stockholder may demand that PNAC redeem such shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the amount on deposit in the Trust Account (which was $10.60 per share as of July 13, 2023, the Record Date), calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to PNAC. If a PNAC Public Stockholder properly seeks redemption as described in this section and the Business Combination is consummated, PNAC shall redeem these shares for a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the Trust Account and the holder shall no longer own these shares. A PNAC Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such holder and any person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) may not seek to have more than 15% of the aggregate PNAC Public Shares redeemed without the consent of PNAC.

The PNAC Initial Stockholders shall not have redemption rights with respect to any PNAC Common Stock owned by them, directly or indirectly.

PNAC Public Stockholders who seek to have their PNAC Public Shares redeemed are required to (A) submit a redemption request in writing to VStock, PNAC’s transfer agent, in which (i) they request that PNAC redeems all or a portion of their PNAC Public Shares for cash and (ii) identify themselves as the beneficial holders of the shares and provide their legal name, phone number and address, and (B) deliver their PNAC Public Shares, either physically or electronically using DTC’s DWAC System, to PNAC’s transfer agent no later than [ ] p.m. [ ] time on [ ], 2023 (two business days prior to the Special Meeting). If you hold the shares in street name, you shall have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Certificates that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures shall not be converted into cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The transfer agent shall typically charge the tendering broker $100.00 and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the converting shareholder. In the event the proposed Business Combination is not consummated, this may result in an additional cost to shareholders for the return of their shares.

Any request to have PNAC Public Shares redeemed, once made by a PNAC Public Stockholder, may be withdrawn at any time up to the vote on the Business Combination Proposal and the Governing Documents Proposal, but only with the consent of the Board of Directors of PNAC. If a PNAC Public

110

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Stockholder delivers its PNAC Public Shares for redemption and later decides prior to the Special Meeting not to elect redemption, such holder may request that PNAC consent to the return of such shares to such holder. Such a request must be made by contacting VStock, PNAC’s transfer agent, at the phone number or address set out elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

If the Business Combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then PNAC Public Stockholders who elected to exercise their redemption rights shall not be entitled to have their PNAC Public Shares redeemed for or upon electing to redeem their PNAC Public Shares in connection with a subsequent initial business combination which is consummated. PNAC shall thereafter promptly return any shares delivered by PNAC Public Stockholders. In such case, PNAC Public Stockholders may only share in the assets of the Trust Account upon the liquidation of PNAC. This may result in PNAC Public Stockholders receiving less than they would have received if the Business Combination was completed and they had exercised redemption rights in connection therewith due to potential claims of creditors.

The closing price of PNAC Class A Common Stock on the Record Date was $10.56. The cash held in the Trust Account on such date was approximately $52,091,186 (after deducting $50,000 for liquidation expenses), or approximately $10.60 per share. Prior to exercising redemption rights, PNAC Public Stockholders should verify the market price of PNAC Common Stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their shares of PNAC Common Stock in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. PNAC cannot assure its stockholders that they shall be able to sell their PNAC Public Shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when its stockholders wish to sell their shares.

In addition, once the PubCo Warrants become exercisable, PubCo may redeem the outstanding PubCo Warrants at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon a minimum number of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, and if the last sales price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $16.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending three business days before PubCo sends the notice of redemption. For context, as of the close of trading on July 13, 2023 (the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus), the trading price of PNAC Ordinary Share on Nasdaq was $10.56, and the highest and lowest closing price of the PNAC Ordinary Shares during the prior three months was $10.60 and $10.39, respectively. Once PubCo Warrants become exercisable after 30 days following the consummation of the Business Combination and PubCo calls for the force redemption once the conditions are met, redemption of the outstanding PubCo Warrants could force holders (i) to exercise their PubCo Warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for them to do so, (ii) to sell PubCo Warrants at the then-current market price when they might otherwise wish to hold PubCo Warrants or (iii) to accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding PubCo Warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of the PubCo Warrants.

111

TABLE OF CONTENTS

No Appraisal or Dissenters’ Rights

No holders who hold PNAC units, PNAC Common Stock, PNAC Warrants or PNAC Rights have appraisal or dissenters’ rights in connection with the Business Combination under the DGCL. Therefore, no dissenters’ rights will be available under the Merger in respect of the PNAC securities; however, PNAC Public Stockholders have a redemption right with respect to their PNAC Public Shares as further described in this proxy statement/prospectus. See “Special Meeting of PNAC stockholders — Redemption Rights” for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your PNAC Public Shares for cash.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

PNAC is soliciting proxies on behalf of its board of directors. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. PNAC and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person by telephone or by other electronic means. PNAC shall bear the cost of the solicitation.

PNAC has hired Advantage Proxy, Inc. to assist in the proxy solicitation process. PNAC shall pay Advantage Proxy, Inc. a fixed fee of $12,500, plus disbursements, and to reimburse Advantage Proxy, Inc. for its reasonable and documented costs and expenses, estimated for about $1,500, and shall indemnify Advantage Proxy, Inc. and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. Such fee shall be paid with non-Trust Account funds. PNAC shall pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Special Meeting.

PNAC shall ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions, and shall reimburse such parties for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of PNAC Common Stock and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners.

PNAC’s directors and officers may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies.

THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL

General

PNAC stockholders are being asked to (a) adopt and approve the Business Combination Agreement and other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), (b) approve the Business Combination which includes (i) the Merger between PNAC and Merger Sub with PNAC surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo, (ii) the Share Exchange whereby the Sellers will exchange their noco-noco Shares for newly issued PubCo Ordinary Shares and noco-noco will be an indirect subsidiary of PubCo, and (iii) other transactions contemplated therein.

PNAC stockholders should read carefully this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Business Combination Agreement, which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. Please see the section entitled “— The Business Combination Agreement” below, for additional information and a summary of certain terms of the Business Combination Agreement. You are urged to read carefully the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety before voting on this proposal.

Under the Business Combination Agreement, the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Governing Documents Proposal by the requisite vote of PNAC stockholders is a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination. The approval of each of Business Combination Proposal and the Governing Documents Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of PNAC Common Stock in respect of the relevant proposal and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The Business Combination Agreement

On December 29, 2022, PNAC, PubCo, Merger Sub, New SubCo, the Sellers and noco-noco entered into the Business Combination Agreement. The subsections that follow this subsection describe the material provisions of the Business Combination Agreement, but do not purport to describe all of the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A hereto. PNAC stockholders and other interested parties are urged to read the Business Combination Agreement carefully and, in its entirety, (and, if appropriate, with the advice of financial and legal counsel) because it is the primary legal document that governs the Business Combination.

The Business Combination Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the Business Combination Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Business Combination Agreement are also modified in important part by the disclosure letters referred to therein which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to shareholders. The disclosure letters were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. We do not believe that the disclosure letters contain information that is material to an investment decision. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement may, may not have been or may not be, as applicable, accurate as of any specific date and do not purport to be accurate as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Accordingly, no person should rely on the representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement or the summaries thereof in this proxy statement/prospectus as characterizations of the actual state of facts about PubCo, PNAC, noco-noco, Merger Sub, New SubCo, any Seller or any other matter.

Capitalized terms in this section not otherwise defined in this proxy statement/prospectus shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Business Combination Agreement.

Background of the Business Combination

The terms of the Business Combination are the result of arms-length negotiations between PNAC and noco-noco, and their respective representatives. The following is a brief description of the background of these negotiations.

PNAC is a blank check company incorporated on February 25, 2021 as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses. As provided in PNAC’s

127

TABLE OF CONTENTS

governing documents, PNAC will not undertake initial business combination with any company being based in or having the majority of the company’s operations in China (including Hong Kong and Macau).

PNAC’s efforts to identify a potential business combination target were not limited to a particular industry. Although PNAC intended to focus search on technology-enabled sectors including but not limited to blockchain, data center, non-fungible token, ecommerce and other technology related infrastructure sectors, PNAC is not required to complete their initial business combination with a business in these industries and, as a result, PNAC pursued opportunities in addition to opportunities in these industries.

PNAC’s Initial Public Offering

On May 17, 2022, PNAC completed its initial public offering of 6,450,000 PNAC Units, which included 450,000 PNAC Units issued upon the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Each PNAC Unit consists of one share of PNAC Class A Common Stock, one-half of one redeemable PNAC Warrant, each whole PNAC Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of PNAC Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, and one PNAC Right, with each right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-eighth (1/8) of one share of PNAC Class A Common Stock upon the completion of an initial business combination. The PNAC Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $64,500,000.

Substantially concurrently with the completion of PNAC IPO, PNAC completed private sale of 398,892 shares of the PNAC Private Shares to the Sponsors, including 349,032 shares to Sponsor A, and 49,860 shares to Sponsor B, at a purchase price of $10.00 per PNAC Class A Common Stock, generating gross proceeds to PNAC of $3,988,920 (including $3,490,320 from Prime Number Acquisition LLC and $498,600 from Glorious Capital LLC).

The net proceeds from PNAC IPO and proceeds from the simultaneous private placements in a total amount of $65,790,000 (or $10.20 per public share) were placed in the Trust Account.

In connection with the votes to approve the proposal, 1,537,701 PNAC Public Shares were tendered for redemption on May 13, 2023, and were cancelled on May 22, 2023. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, a total of 4,912,299 PNAC Public Shares are issued and outstanding. On May 17, 2023, an aggregate of $125,000 was deposited into the Trust Account for the PNAC Public Stockholders, resulting in the first Monthly Extension by one month from May 17, 2023 to June 17, 2023 to allow for PNAC to consummate the Business Combination. On June 14, 2023, an additional of $125,000 was deposited into the Trust Account for the PNAC Public Stockholders, resulting in the second Monthly Extension by one month from June 17, 2023 to July 17, 2023 to allow for PNAC to consummate the Business Combination. Further, on July 14, 2023, an additional of $125,000 was deposited into the Trust Account for the PNAC Public Stockholders, resulting in the second Monthly Extension by one month from July 17, 2023 to August 17, 2023 to allow for PNAC to consummate the Business Combination.

Target Search

After the consummation of the PNAC IPO, PNAC’s management began their search for a suitable target for a business combination. In addition, they were contacted by a number of individuals and entities with respect to potential business combination opportunities.

Although PNAC intended to focus its search for a target business in technology-enabled sectors, PNAC was able to seek a business combination with an operating company in any industry or sector. PNAC viewed potential acquisition targets based on the same criteria discussed below and used in evaluating

128

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the business combination. These criteria included, without limitation, businesses (i) that demonstrates attractive long-term growth prospects and an ability to lead or consolidate the industry; (ii) that is poised for high growth due to disruptive technology, superior product offerings, and/or shifting customer preferences; (iii) with the potential to generate stable and increasing free cash flows, with which we may also seek to prudently leverage the cash flows to enhance stockholder value; (iv) that we believe present the potential for revenue and earnings growth through a combination of business, management, and resources; (v) with reasoned and strong management that has a proven track record of driving growth and profitability; and (vi) that will benefit from being publicly traded through access to broader source of capital and public profile. PNAC followed these initial set of criteria and guidelines outlined in the prospectus for its initial public offering to assess the value and the growth of the potential target but did not limit itself to those criteria.

Between May 17, 2022 through December 29, 2022, PNAC reviewed in varying degrees approximately five potential business combination candidates (including noco-noco) involved in various industries and sectors, including construction and infrastructure, manufacturing, high technology and fintech. PNAC’s management team held frequent discussions regarding these targets both internally and with a wide range of the potential business combination candidates’ management teams.

For the four potential candidates that PNAC did not proceed with the definitive transaction documents, PNAC signed non-disclosure agreement with Candidate One and Candidate Two, and non-binding term sheet with each of Candidate Three and Candidate Four. We summarize PNAC management’s review and analysis process below:

Candidate One: On May 25, 2022, Candidate One, a Singapore incorporated company in the container business contacted Mr. Weixiong (Jeff) Cheong for potential business combination. Following the initial contact, Mr. Cheong became acquainted with the founder of Candidate One.

On May 26, 2022, PNAC and Candidate One executed a non-disclosure agreement. Pursuant to the non-disclosure agreement, any non-public, confidential or proprietary information provided by disclosing party to the receiving party must be kept confidential. Both PNAC and Candidate One agreed not to use non-public, confidential or proprietary information received for any purpose except to evaluate, negotiate and/or possibly consummate a contemplated business combination. It also provides that, except as expressly permitted in such agreement or with the prior consent of the disclosing party, no one will disclose any non-public, confidential or proprietary disclosed to third parties except to the representatives of such third party who are required to have the information to carry out the discussions concerning the contemplated business combination, and such information must be kept confidential by such third parties. The non-disclosure agreement shall expire one year from the date thereof or may be terminated by any party at any time by written notice. However, each party’s rights and obligations under such agreements will survive the expiration or termination of the agreement for a period of one year from the date of such expiration or termination, even after the return or destruction of confidential information by the receiving party. Following execution of the non-disclosure agreement, during the last week of May 2022, Mr. Cheong had several meetings with management team of Candidate One to understand Candidate One’s business. Thereafter, Mr. Cheong and the board of PNAC held a virtual meeting with Candidate One to review Candidate One’s business and discuss preparation of its audited financial statements. During that period, PNAC also conducted due diligence on Candidate One and its management team, including reviewing its business introduction deck and financial forecast. On June 7, 2022, PNAC and Candidate One executed a non-binding term sheet, which, among others, provides that the valuation of Candidate One is estimated at $15 million to $20 million. The term sheet did not contain exclusivity provision restricting PNAC’s ability to search for other candidates. In August, Candidate One informed PNAC that it was no longer looking for opportunity to consummate a business combination with a SPAC.

Candidate Two: In May 2022, Candidate Two approached Mr. Dongfeng Wang. Candidate Two, based in California, is in data center and digital mining business.

During May 30, 2022 to June 10, 2022, PNAC and Candidate Two worked actively on due diligence.

Timeline of the Business Combination

On June 1, 2022, Mr. Weixiong (Jeff) Cheong, through the introduction of Mr. Masataka Matsumura, met with noco-noco’s management team, including Mr. Matsumura. Mr. Cheong has previously engaged with and acquainted with Mr. Matsumura in connection with a proposed reverse takeover (the “BINEX RTO”) between Sinjia Land Limited (“Sinjia Land”) a public company listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX: 5HH) for whom Mr. Cheong serve as its CEO and Executive Director, and BINEX Singapore Pte. Ltd. (“BINEX Singapore”), a Singapore subsidiary of 3DOM Alliance with management and business focus different from those of noco-noco. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the RTO has not consummated and there is no assurance that the RTO will be consummated.

At the June 1 meeting, management of noco-noco shared introduction of noco-noco’s business and the industry, and invited Mr. Cheong to visit 3DOM Alliance’s facilities in Japan.

On June 9, Mr. Cheong travelled to Japan and had an on-site visit with 3DOM Alliance, the controlling shareholder of noco-noco, accompanied by management of noco-noco. During the visit, Mr. Cheong had conversations with noco-noco management team and 3DOM Alliance over topics including noco-noco’s business operation, business plan analyses, and potential for business combination. To respond to questions in greater details, noco-noco management proposed a non-binding LOI with PNAC, in which there shall be

TABLE OF CONTENTS

confidentiality clause. Following Mr. Cheong’s visit to Japan, PNAC management agreed to further pursue the opportunity with noco-noco.

On June 15, 2022, representatives of noco-noco and PNAC had meeting to discuss preliminarily on entering into a non-binding letter of intent.

On July 1, 2022, PNAC sent a draft non-binding term sheet to noco-noco which was primarily for the demonstration purpose to show the material terms to be included in the term sheet. The draft included, among others, the following terms:(i) the parties shall contemplate a business combination, and the deal structure will be determined based on due diligence findings and other considerations; and (ii) the total transaction consideration will be based on noco-noco’s equity value estimated at $2.5 billion. The valuation was proposed by PNAC and was based on the Selected Public Company Analysis conducted by PNAC, and in particular, the equity value of QuantumScape Corporation (NYSE: QS, “QuantumScape”), which was approximately $2.5 billion on or around July 1, 2022. PNAC considered QuantumScape as the most comparable company to noco-noco. For details of PNAC’s analysis performed on selected public company, see “— Selected Public Company Analysis.” The parties also agreed to further discuss valuation and other terms, once PNAC gains access to more information of noco-noco’s business and operation.

On July 11, 2022, in order to obtain additional information of noco-noco and allow some time for the parties to negotiate substantive terms of a business combination, noco-noco and PNAC reached a non-binding letter of intent (the “noco-noco LOI”) which contemplated the following major terms: (i) the noco-noco LOI is intended to express only a mutual indication of interest in a potential business combination and shall not create legal obligation to the parties, except for certain binding matters; (ii) the parties agree to discuss in good faith and make reasonable good faith efforts to agree in writing, non-binding, material terms of the potential business combination within 45 business days after date of the noco-noco LOI, and such agreement in writing shall be appended to and supplement the noco-noco LOI (the “Term Sheet”); (iii) noco-noco shall not, at any time, have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in any monies in the Trust Account.; (iv) each party shall keep confidential of information disclosed by the other party; and (v) until termination of the noco-noco LOI, noco-noco may not engage in transaction that would prohibit or impair the proposed business combination.

Following execution of the noco-noco LOI, noco-noco started sharing diligence materials to PNAC, including but not limited to documents in relation to business planning, and existing collaboration letters of intent or transaction indications.

From July 11, 2022 to August 5, 2022, noco-noco and PNAC had extensive discussions and negotiations over the proposed Term Sheet. The negotiation was mainly focused on valuation of noco-noco’s business. PNAC conducted analysis of noco-noco’s business and BEV industry in support of the valuation negotiation, including analysis performed on selected public company that PNAC deemed relevant. For details of PNAC’s analysis performed on selected public company, see “— Selected Public Company Analysis.” noco-noco and PNAC later agreed on valuation range of $1.25 billion to $2.5 billion.

On August 5, 2022, the parties executed the Term Sheet. The Term Sheet included the following terms, among others: (i) the total transaction consideration will be based on noco-noco’s equity value estimated at a range of $1.25 billion to $2.5 billion; and (ii) a transaction financing of at least $20,000,000 will be consummated at the closing of the business combination.

On October 27, 2022, noco-noco engaged Sidley Austin as its U.S. securities counsel to the proposed Business Combination.

On November 22, 2022, noco-noco entered into a license-in agreement with 3DOM Alliance, pursuant to which noco-noco was granted the exclusive license on certain patents and other pending patent applications from 3DOM Alliance (the “Renewed License-in Agreement”). noco-noco relies on such exclusive license-in agreement with 3DOM Alliance to utilize 3DOM Alliance’s intellectual property and technologies to develop and manufacture its own battery products and services. The Renewed License-in Agreement was a renewal of a license-in agreement between noco-noco and 3DOM Alliance effective as of August 18, 2021 (as amended on August 29, 2022 and terminated on November 22, 2022) (the “Original License-in Agreement”). The terms of the Renewed License-in Agreement were nearly identical to the Original License-in Agreement which went effective before PNAC’s initial contact with noco-noco. PNAC was not involved in the negotiations of the terms of the Renewed License-in Agreement, but was notified of the renewal and the importance of the agreement, including the upfront payment of the $30 million licensing fee, and had taken it into consideration when evaluating noco-noco as potential target (including in reaching the final evaluation of $1.35 billion). PNAC and noco-noco agreed that the source of funds to be used for payment of $30 million licensing fee shall come from any remaining cash in Trust Account after closing, transaction financing, and potential future financing after the closing. noco-noco also conveyed that they would work with 3DOM Alliance on deferral of payment or adjustment of payment schedule to ensure noco-noco has adequate capital resources for its daily operation post closing. PNAC and its representatives were also granted access to the Renewed License-in Agreement so was able to evaluate the agreement from legal and commercial perspectives. After independent assessment and discussions with noco-noco on the source of funds to be used for payment of $30 million licensing fee, PNAC considered the effect of payment on noco-noco’s liquidity and capital resources post closing to be relatively minimal.

On November 23, 2022, R&C and PNAC received noco-noco’s initial response to the due diligence checklists that contained legal diligence materials regarding noco-noco. PNAC and R&C commenced its diligence on these materials.

On November 28, 2022, representatives of noco-noco and PNAC, including Sidley Austin and R&C, held a virtual meeting to discuss the proposed transaction structure, and established the timeline and responsibilities for the transaction moving forward.

On November 30, 2022, Sidley Austin and R&C exchanged emails to determine the drafting responsibilities for this proxy statement/prospectus.

On December 1, 2022, R&C sent follow-up due diligence request relating to the diligence materials drafted in non-English and translation thereof.

On December 5 and 6, 2022, representatives of noco-noco circulated to the translated due diligence materials to R&C.

On December 6, 2022, Sidley Austin sent an initial draft of the Business Combination to R&C, which reflected the terms in the executed Term Sheet.

On December 7, 2022, Sidley Austin circulated drafting responsibilities for this proxy statement/prospectus based on previous discussions.

On December 7, 2022, R&C circulated an updated due diligence request list with additional due diligence questions.

On December 8, 2022, representatives of noco-noco provided the additional requested due diligence materials via emails.

On December 10, 2022, R&C sent follow-up due diligence questions to representatives of noco-noco and the representatives of noco-noco addressed these questions by emails and additional due diligence materials on the same day.

The Business Combination Agreement was negotiated between December 6, 2022 subsequent to the initial circulation of the draft Business Combination Agreement through the date of execution on December 29, 2022. PNAC and noco-noco agreed to set the final valuation in the lower end of the valuation range, at $1.35 billion, given consideration of the following factors:

•

Performance of Comparable Public Company: PNAC considers QuantumScape to be the most comparable public company to noco-noco and had given much weight to QuantumScape’s equity value when deciding noco-noco’s valuation. The equity value of QuantumsScape declined significantly following its NYSE debut, from $8 billion in April 2021 to $2.5 billion in July 2022, which was attributable to increased competition in the BEV industry and concerns over QuamtumScape’s production capabilities. As a company in its early stage of development and has not started significant production, noco-noco is likely to be exposed to similar challenges and risks as QuantumScape.

•

Market Conditions: In reaching the $1.35 billion valuation for noco-noco, PNAC factored in overall capital market conditions and stock performance of companies that consummated business combinations recently, as well as the need to attract potential investors and retain non-redeeming Public Stockholder of PNAC.

•

Financial risks: As the medium to long-term financial success for noco-noco relies on the market launch of the X-SEPA Separators, continuation or expansion of its existing partnership arrangements (including by reaching binding contractual agreements with such partners), robust management of its marketing and sales expenses and cash flows, and development of a track record and reputation in the markets, there are significant uncertainty and risks for its short-term financial health and success. In addition to the overall market downturns, public market investors have shown significant hostility on development stage technology companies, who lacks significant track record of positive cash flows and sales success. PNAC therefore finds it necessary to seek downward departure in its valuation.

•

Information from Business and Financial Due Diligence: (i) Research on the markets of battery and BEV industry, carbon abatement solutions, and carbon credit sales industry; (ii) Review of noco-noco’s strategy on expanding market for X-SEPA Separators; (iii) Analysis and review of noco-noco’s historical financial statements; and (iv) Analysis and review of noco-noco’s MOUs and potential transactions.

Specific provisions in the Business Combination Agreement and related agreements were negotiated by emails and virtual conference calls between respective counsels for noco-noco and PNAC throughout the period shortly after the initial circulation of the draft Business Combination Agreement and the date of the execution of the Business Combination Agreement. In addition to negotiations on final valuation, as discussed above, substantive negotiations centered around the following points:

•

Transaction Structure: noco-noco and PNAC considered consummating the transaction through alternative structures which could be more straightforward, such as direct merge of PNAC or a wholly-owned subsidiary of PNAC with noco-noco, while as parties proceed with due diligence and negotiations, certain considerations emerged so that parties reached consensus on the final structure of merger plus share exchange as provided in the Business Combination Agreement. Among others, noco-noco and PNAC and each of their representatives considered: (i) noco-noco conducts its business and operation entirely outside of the U.S., accordingly it is beneficial for the combined entity to retain status as a foreign private issuer; and (ii) a direct merger of PNAC with noco-noco, a Singapore-incorporated entity, may significantly increase Singapore tax exposure for noco-noco.

•

Available PNAC Cash: As a closing condition, PNAC proposed that the Available PNAC Cash shall be $20,000,000, while noco-noco hoped it could be raised to $50,000,000. PNAC refused to accept the change given consideration of the redemption risk that a significant number of PNAC’s stockholders may elect to redeem their shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination which could leave little to no cash in the Trust Account, thus increasing the risk of PNAC not being able to consummate a Business Combination in time. In exchange for retaining Available PNAC Cash at $20,000,000,

134

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PNAC agreed that more flexibility shall be given to valuation negotiation, that the negotiation shall be fixed to the range of $1.25 billion to $2.5 billion as agreed in Term Sheet. PNAC Cash is eventually set at $20,000,000 immediately prior to or upon the Share Exchange Closing.

•

Earn -Out Structure: PNAC originally proposed that an earn-out structure for merger consideration, given the uncertainty associated with noco-noco’s future profitability. While noco-noco proposed removal of such terms from Business Combination Agreement as a preferred payment schedule. After extensive communications, PNAC agreed with the removal of the earn-out structure, on the condition that the valuation is fixed to the lower end of the $1.25 billion to $2.5 billion range.

•

Corporate Governance: PNAC had discussions with noco-noco on the size of the PubCo board of directors, and the appointment power of PNAC and noco-noco of directors to the PubCo board. Taking into account the Nasdaq listing standards and noco-noco’s preferences of seeking Foreign Private Issuer exemption, PNAC agreed that the board size should remain at seven, with two independent directors to be appointed, as provided in the Term Sheet. In exchange for the downward departure in the valuation, PNAC would forego its preference to have the power to appoint at least one director to the board. PNAC and noco-noco also communicated regarding the principal terms of the post-transaction employment of PubCo’s executive officers and the compensation of directors and executive officers, including a share incentive plan to be adopted upon the closing of the business combination. For details of such agreed terms, see “Management of PubCo Following the Business Combination — Employment Agreements and Indemnification Agreement”, “— Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers”, and “— Share Incentive Plan”.

•

Shareholder Rights: PNAC and noco-noco initially had diverging view on the parameters of the Lock-up Agreement as applied to the noco-noco shareholders, and the registration rights priority of PNAC Stockholders, noco-noco shareholders and any potential investors who participate in the Transaction Financing. The parties had various conference call with the presence and advice of counsel of each side to discuss the issues. With explanations of PNAC’s counsel on the regulatory requirements and the market norms of lock-up and registration rights arrangements, noco-noco agreed to defer to PNAC to set forth the terms and conditions of the Lock-up Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement. noco-noco’s representatives also agree to convey the requirements and market norms to 3DOM Alliance and other shareholders.

•

Other Provisions: In general, PNAC proposed terms in Business Combination Agreement with reference to terms of recently disclosed de-SPAC transactions where the target company has business operation in Asia, including the proposed business combination of TradeUp Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: PNAC) and Estrella Biopharma, Inc., and proposed business combination of Thunder Bridge Capital Partners IV Inc. (Nasdaq: THCP) and Coincheck, Inc.

Drafts of the Business Combination Agreement were exchanged by emails between respective counsels for noco-noco and PNAC on or about December 15, 21, 24, 2022. Key topics of negotiation included, but were not limited to, the structure and terms of the business combination as contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement, the scope of the representations and warranties, the applicable closing conditions and pre-closing covenants, termination terms and conditions, corporate governance matters relating to, among others, post-closing management, board composition and equity incentive plan, and disclosure schedules of each party.

On December 29, 2022, a meeting of the Board was called to discuss and approve the Business Combination Agreement, each related agreement to be entered into prior to or concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination, and the Business Combination. After considering the proposed terms of the Business Combination Agreement, each related agreements to be entered into prior to or concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination, and taking into account the other factors described below under the caption “The Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination,” the Board unanimously approved the Business Combination Agreement, each related agreements to be entered into prior to or concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination, and the Business Combination, and determined that it was advisable and in the best interests of PNAC to consummate the Business Combination contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and related agreements.

PNAC indicated its intention to acquire a company that it believes possesses attractive long-term growth potential, has been well-positioned within its industry, and would benefit from the broad network and strategic, financial, and operational experience of PNAC’s leadership team. In particular, PNAC Board considered the following positive factors, although not weighted or in any order of significance:

•

Cutting-edge Technologies. noco-noco license in a series of cutting-edge patents and technologies from 3DOM Alliance, its controlling shareholder, with respect to, among others, battery cascade use, battery management system, battery cell and pack model, and battery units. The cutting-edge technologies enable noco-noco to produce batteries that, as compared to conventional batteries, have a longer lifespan and higher reliability, and are more resistant to high operating temperature and thermal runaways. noco-noco’s unique position with 3DOM Alliance as the exclusive licensee of its patents and technologies allows it to take full advantage of the technology advancement that 3DOM Alliance may develop or license in through various cooperation and collaboration with leading universities and professors for our battery products.

•

Unique Own-and-Lease Business Model. noco-noco operates a unique own-and-lease business model where it manufacture, through OEMs, battery products, including batteries, BEVs and ESS,

137

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and lease them to clients, primarily consisting of commercial transportation companies, renewable energy plants and other power plants requiring grid stabilization and backup power in Asia. Traditionally, it would cost tremendous upfront capital expenditure and operation expenses for companies to purchase the battery products. However, under own-and-lease business model, clients only need to lease battery products without having to purchase them, enabling clients’ operation of BEVs and renewable energy plants more affordable.

•

Multiple avenues for growth. noco-noco assists its clients, primarily landowners of forests, mangrove, bushland or land of similar kinds, to reduce their carbon emissions or absorb carbon, and earn carbon credits generated from the carbon abatement projects. In addition, leveraging its carbon credits generation capability, noco-noco is able to cross-sell the carbon credits generated through carbon abatement projects to its battery product clients, who are keen to reduce their carbon emissions generated during their operations. In particular, with the carbon credit generation capability, noco-noco is able to provide leasing services and carbon credit sales in a bundle, on the one hand, helping battery product clients to offset the carbon emissions generated by their operations, and on the other hand, improving clients’ stickiness and generating additional profits. The synergies between the two business segments earn noco-noco both preference by clients and strategic cooperation opportunities.

•

Visionary Management and Synergy with 3DOM Alliance. noco-noco is led and influenced by a visionary CEO, Mr. Masataka Matsumura, who is deeply rooted in the battery industry. Mr. Matsumura’s deep business insights have driven the sustainable development of our strategic business direction. His strategic vision and thorough understanding of the battery industry helps us make crucial business decisions based on market trends and development. Since noco-noco’s inception, noco-noco has received strong support from, and achieved great synergy with, its controlling shareholder, 3DOM Alliance. 3DOM Alliance is a forerunner in the R&D of battery technologies, including battery separators and lithium-ion batteries.

•

Due diligence. Due diligence examinations of noco-noco and discussions with noco-noco’s management team have led PNAC to conclude that noco-noco has assembled the elements to create the foundation for a successful company going forward. In particular, PNAC reviewed the license-in arrangement between noco-noco and 3DOM Alliance and considered source of funds to be used for payment of $30 million licensing fee. PNAC Board concluded that the effect of payment on noco-noco’s liquidity and capital resources post closing would be relatively minimal and does not significantly change PNAC Board’s overall assessment of the Business Combination, given the Transaction Financing and potential future financings after closing of the Business Combination.

•

Potential for profitability. According to the assessment of in-license rights of noco-noco and its strategic alliances with various third parties, and the financial projections provided by noco-noco, the PNAC Board considered that noco-noco (i) has a potential of scaling the business in a capital efficient manner; and (ii) has a potential to generate revenue sufficient to achieve profitability sustainably upon commercialization of noco-noco’s own-and-lease business model and our carbon abatement solution business.

•

Other alternatives. The PNAC Board believes that after a thorough review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to PNAC, the Business Combination represents the best potential business combination for PNAC and its stockholders, based upon the process utilized to evaluate and assess other potential acquisition targets, and the PNAC Board believes that such process has not presented a better alternative.

The Board also identified and considered the following factors and risks as weighing negatively against pursuing the Business Combination (although not weighted or in any order of significance):

•

Macroeconomic Risks. Macroeconomic uncertainty, including the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the effects it could have on noco-noco’s business operation post-closing;

•

Redemption Risk. The potential that a significant number of PNAC’s stockholders elect to redeem their shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination which in turn leaving little to no cash left in the trust account for working capital purposes;

138

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

Shareholder Vote. The risk that PNAC’s stockholders may fail to provide the respective votes necessary to approve the Business Combination;

•

Closing Conditions. The fact that the completion of the Business Combination is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not or may not be within PNAC’s control;

•

Litigation. The possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the Business Combination;

•

Listing Risks. The challenges associated with preparing noco-noco, a private entity, for the applicable disclosure and listing requirements to which PubCo will be subject as a publicly traded company on Nasdaq upon the closing of the Business Combination;

•

Benefits May Not Be Achieved. The risks that the potential benefits of the Business Combination may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe;

•

Projections May Not Be Achieved. The risks that noco-noco would not attain the milestones set forth in their financial projections;

•

Liquidation of PNAC. The risks and costs to PNAC if the Business Combination is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other business combination opportunities, which could result in PNAC being unable to effect a business combination by the Outside Date and exceeding its lifespan;

•

Growth Initiatives May Not be Achieved. The risk that noco-noco’s growth initiatives may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe;

•

Board and Independent Committees. The risk that PubCo’s board of directors post-Closing and independent committees might not possess adequate skills set within the context of PubCo’s operations as a public company;

•

No Third-Party Valuation. The risk that PNAC did not obtain a third-party valuation in connection with the Business Combination;

•

PNAC’s Stockholders Receiving a Minority Position in PubCo. The risk from PNAC’s stockholders owning a minority position in PubCo as of the Closing;

•

Fees and Expenses. The fees and expenses associated with completing the Business Combination; and

•

Other Risk Factors. Various other risk factors associated with the business of noco-noco, as described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The above discussion of the material factors considered by the PNAC Board is not intended to be exhaustive but does set forth the principal factors considered by the PNAC Board.

After considering the foregoing factors, the Board concluded, in its business judgment, that the potentially positive reasons for the Business Combination outweighed the potentially negative reasons. In connection with its deliberations, the Board also considered that PNAC’s executive officers and directors may have financial interests in the Business Combination that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of PNAC stockholders. The Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in reaching the determination that the Business Combination was advisable and in the best interests of PNAC and its stockholders. See “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of the Founders and PNAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination.”

The preceding discussion of the information and factors considered by the Board is not intended to be exhaustive but includes the material factors considered by the Board. In view of the complexity and wide variety of factors considered by the Board in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination, the Board did not consider it practical to, nor did it attempt to, quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weights to the different factors that it considered in reaching its decision. In addition, in considering the factors described above, individual members of the Board may have given different weight to different factors.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Board considered this information as a whole and overall considered the information and factors to be favorable to, and in support of, its determinations and recommendations.

This explanation of the Board’s reasons for its approval of the Business Combination, and all other information presented in this section, is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under the section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements.”

Certain Projected Information of noco-noco

Noco-noco does not, as a matter of course, publicly disclose long-term forecasts or internal projections of its future performance, revenue, earnings, financial condition or other results. However, in connection with PNAC’s due diligence and consideration of the potential Business Combination with noco-noco, in July 2022, noco-noco management provided PNAC with internally prepared financial forecasts for year ending December 31, 2023 to 2032 (the “Projections”). The Projections were provided to PNAC only for use as a component in its overall evaluation of noco-noco and should not be viewed as public guidance. The summary information from the Projections is included in the table below because such information was considered by PNAC for purposes of evaluating the Business Combination. Inclusion of summary information regarding the financial forecasts in this proxy statement/prospectus is not intended to influence your decision whether to vote for the Proposals.

Noco-noco’s management relied on numerous assumptions to derive the Projections described below, including, among others, assumptions regarding (a) increasing demand for EV and battery leasing; (b) appropriate pricing of leasing rates; (c) estimation of the various related costs of operating the leasing business; (d) increasing demand and prices for carbon credits; (e) ability to monetize its smart battery infrastructure into a new revenue stream of selling data services in the latter years. Based on assumptions described herein and footnoted to the projection table, noco-noco’s management estimated the numbers of units of EVs, EV batteries and ESS batteries that we anticipated to be leased out and an estimated monthly leasing rate in each year in the period from 2023 to 2032 in order to deliver the projected revenues. Based on estimated leasing units, management estimated the purchase cost of each unit, given effect of, among others, capital expenses and depreciation over a certain expected lifespan of the EV, EV battery or ESS battery, and computed net income by deducting from the projected revenue various costs, including CAPEX depreciation, maintenance costs and insurance costs. Depreciation was computed by allocating the purchase cost using a straight-line method, over the expected lifespan of the EVs or batteries.

The Projections are subject to inherent uncertainty since they are based on assumptions about events that may occur in the future, many of which are beyond PNAC’s and noco-noco’s control. As noco-noco had not generated substantial revenue when the Projections were rendered or as of the date hereof, noco-noco was unable to compare the Projections with historical operating results. Noco-noco however believes that the projected revenues are reasonable and the growth rates are sustainable for the ten-year projections, because it factored in (i) the early commercialization stage of noco-noco; (ii) existing MOUs and collaboration that noco-noco had achieved and would achieve in the next one or two years; (iii) conservatively low target numbers in the first few years relative to the estimated size of the global market during the same period; (iv) in the case of operating results beyond 2025 until 2032, a relatively faster growth rate compared to its growth rate in 2023 and 2024, reflecting the potential market expansion and penetration it would have achieved in 2023 and 2024, as well as the increasing establishment of its battery technological edge within the industry, enabling it to compete effectively with industry competitors; (v) continuing conservatism from 2025 to 2032 as far as share of estimated global market was concerned. For instance, according to Frost & Sullivan, although there will be 21.4 million E2W units leased out in 2023, noco-noco projected the number of its leased E2W unit in 2023 would be a conservative 500 units, representing 0.023% of the global E2W market. Similarly, according to Frost & Sullivan, there will be 26.8 million units of E4W leased out in 2025, and noco-noco projected only 6,000 units leased out during the same period, representing 0.0224% of the global E4W industry projected by Frost & Sullivan. Over the longer period, in 2032, noco-noco projects the number of E4W units being leased out rising to 801,900, representing a market share of 0.891% of the global E4W industry of 90 million units, according to Frost & Sullivan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, projections are subject to increased uncertainty and risk that they will not be achieved. For instance, noco-noco may encounter unforeseen technical or non-technical challenges in actual operations which may affect the projected growth rate. The execution capability of the noco-noco

140

TABLE OF CONTENTS

management team to expand noco-noco from an early-stage company to reach wider market is also a factor that will affect the ability to achieve the projected revenue. The ability of noco-noco’s manufacture team to ensure prompt fulfilment of the demand for batteries and EVs is another factor that may have an impact on actual revenue. None of the Projections should be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the prospective financial information will be achieved.

The Projections were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure, nor were they prepared with a view toward complying with published guidelines of the SEC, the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or IFRS for the preparation and presentation of prospective financial information, but, in the view of noco-noco’s management, were prepared on a reasonable basis. However, this information is not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and readers of this document are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the prospective financial information. The Projections do not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date it was prepared. PubCo will not refer back to this unaudited prospective financial information in future periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act.

There can be no assurance that the Projections will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than projected. These Projections are subjective in many respects and thus are susceptible to multiple interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments.

No independent auditors have audited, reviewed, examined, compiled nor applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to the accompanying Projections and, accordingly, none of PNAC, Marcum Asia CPAs LLP, PNAC’s independent registered public accounting firm, and UHY LLP, noco-noco’s independent registered public accounting firm, express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto or its achievability, and assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the prospective financial information. The audit reports included in this proxy statement/prospectus relate to historical financial information. They do not extend to the prospective financial information and should not be read to do so.

EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS, NEITHER NOCO-NOCO NOR PNAC INTENDS TO MAKE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE ANY UPDATE OR OTHER REVISION TO THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS. THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS DO NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ANY CIRCUMSTANCES OR EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER THE DATE THAT INFORMATION WAS PREPARED. READERS OF THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS ARE CAUTIONED NOT TO PLACE UNDUE RELIANCE ON THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS SET FORTH BELOW AND NOT TO RELY ON SUCH FINANCIAL INFORMATION IN MAKING A DECISION REGARDING THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL, AS SUCH FINANCIAL INFORMATION MAY BE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT THAN ACTUAL RESULTS.

PUBCO DOES NOT INTEND TO REFERENCE THESE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS IN ITS FUTURE PERIODIC REPORTS FILED UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT.

Certain of the measures included in the Projections are non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with US GAAP, and non-GAAP financial measures as used by noco-noco are not reported by all of its competitors and may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts used by other companies.

A summary of the financial forecast information regarding noco-noco’s anticipated future operations for year ending December 31, 2023 to 2032 is set forth below.

Notes and Assumptions:

In connection with the preparation of the Projections, noco-noco’s management considered various material assumptions, including but not limited to:

•

There would be four streams of revenue beginning in 2023 — ESS sales, ESS leasing, EV leasing and carbon credit generation and sales. ESS sales would be phased out in 2024 as noco-noco intends to focus solely on leasing ESS instead of selling ESS. EV leasing would include 2/3-wheeler vehicles and 4-wheeler trucks/vans.

•

Carbon credit generation and sales would form the single biggest revenue contributor from 2023 (51% of total revenue) to 2025 (46%), after which EV leasing would take over as the largest revenue earner starting in 2025 (43%).

•

A new revenue stream, IoT (installed in the noco-noco batteries) would kickoff in 2025 with a small revenue of $2 million but increase to $30,074 million by the year 2032, contributing a substantial 23% of total revenue.

•

EBIDTA margin would range between 21% to 58% over the 10-year period from 2023 to 2032.

•

Carbon credit prices are assumed to be $25/ton in 2023, and would increase progressively over the years to $91/ton in 2032. Carbon credit units being sold are projected based on available credits from current contracted projects, and credits from potential new projects that noco-noco expects to be initiated soon.

•

By 2032, the number of 2/3-wheeler vehicles leased out would be 1,050,596 and the number of trucks leased out will be 801,900.

•

By 2032, the quantity/capacity of ESS leased out would be 115.7Gwh.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In light of the fact that noco-noco is an early stage company with a history of financial losses, that its battery business expects to incur significant expenses and continuing losses for the foreseeable future, and other material assumptions in connection with preparation of the Projections as referenced above, the PNAC Board did not rely upon the Projections for approving the Business Combination, and considered many factors in addition to the Projections in recommending the Business Combination. Stockholders of PNAC are strongly cautioned not to place undue reliance, if any, on these Projections, and not to rely on the Projections in making any decision regarding the Business Combination. For a more comprehensive analysis of PNAC Board’s reasons for approving the Business Combination, see “PNAC Board’s Reasons for Approving the Business Combination.”

Selected Public Company Analysis

PNAC reviewed and analyzed selected historical and projected information of noco-noco and compared this information to certain historical and projected financial information of four publicly traded companies that PNAC deemed to be reasonably comparable to noco-noco (each a “Comparable Company” and collectively, the “Comparable Companies”). The criteria for selecting the Comparable Companies were mainly industry, size, stage of development, target market, and future profitability. PNAC reviewed, among other things, enterprise values of the Comparable Companies, calculated as equity values based on closing stock prices on July 1, 2022, and such other financial data and information for these Comparable Companies as of July 1, 2022.

Source: CapitalIQ; as of July 1, 2022.

PNAC estimated a range of enterprise values of noco-noco using QuantumScape as the most comparable company to noco-noco, given their similar industry, size, stage of development, target market, and future profitability. The equity value of QuantumsScape declined significantly following its NYSE debut, from $8 billion in April 2021 to $2.5 billion in July 2022, which was attributable to increased competition in the BEV industry and concerns over QuamtumScape’s production capabilities. As a company in its early stage of development and has not started significant production, noco-noco is likely to be exposed to similar challenges and risks as QuantumScape. In addition, as detailed in “— Timeline of the Business Combination”, a variety of factors arising during the negotiation further resulted in a downward departure in noco-noco’s valuation.

Interests of PNAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

When considering the PNAC Board’s recommendation to vote in favor of approving the Business Combination Proposal and the Governing Documents Proposal, PNAC stockholders should keep in mind that the PNAC Initial Stockholders, have interests in such proposals that are different from, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), those of PNAC stockholders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

•

the beneficial ownership by the Sponsors of an aggregate of 1,474,000 Founder Shares and 398,892 Private Shares, which would become worthless if PNAC does not complete a business combination

143

TABLE OF CONTENTS

within the applicable time period, as the Sponsor has waived any right to redemption with respect to these shares. The Sponsors paid an aggregate of approximately $25,000, or $0.017 per share, for the Founders Shares and $3,988,920, or $10.00 per share, for the Private Shares. Such shares of PNAC Class A Common Stock held by the Sponsors have an aggregate market value of approximately $19,777,739.5, based on the closing price of PNAC Class A Common Stock on the Record Date, resulting in a theoretical gain of $15,763,819.5 (or $8.42 per share);

confidentiality or other similar agreement or a business combination agreement or claims of any third party for services rendered or products sold to PNAC, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account; and

•

At any time at or before the Business Combination, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding PNAC or its securities, the Sponsors, noco-noco, and/or PNAC’s or noco-noco’s directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may purchase PNAC Public Shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the Business Combination Proposal or the Governing Documents Proposal, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire PNAC Public Shares or vote their PNAC Public Shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal or the Governing Documents Proposal. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record or beneficial holder of PNAC Common Stock, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights.

If the Sponsors, noco-noco, and/or PNAC’s or noco-noco’s directors, officers, advisors, or respective affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from PNAC Public Stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, then such selling shareholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The Sponsors, noco-noco, and/or PNAC’s or noco-noco’s directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may also purchase PNAC Public Shares from institutional and other investors who indicate an intention to redeem PNAC Common Stock, or, if the price per share of PNAC Common Stock falls below $10.00 per share, then such parties may seek to enforce their redemption rights. The above-described activity could be especially prevalent in and around the time of Closing. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to (a) increase the likelihood that: (i) the Business Combination Proposal is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of PNAC Common Stock entitled to vote, who attend, in person or by proxy, and vote thereupon at the Special Meeting; (ii) the Governing Documents Proposal is approved by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the issued and outstanding shares of PNAC Common Stock entitled to vote, who attend, in person or by proxy, and vote thereupon at the Special Meeting; and (iii) PubCo’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) being at least $5,000,001 after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the

146

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Transaction Financing; and (b) otherwise limit the number of PNAC Public Shares electing to redeem. The Sponsors, noco-noco and/or PNAC’s or noco-noco’s directors, officers, advisors, or respective affiliates may also purchase shares from institutional and other investors for investment purposes.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the PNAC Common Stock. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a lower-than-market price and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he, she, or they own, either at or before the Business Combination.

If such transactions are executed, then the Business Combination could be completed in circumstances where such consummation could not have otherwise occurred. Share purchases by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over approving the proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved.

As of the date of this proxy/prospectus, the Sponsors, PNAC’s directors, officers and advisors, and their affiliates, have not made any purchases of shares and/or warrants from investors, or have agreed to any agreements or transactions with any investors or others to provide such investors or others with incentives to acquire PNAC Public Shares or vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal or Governing Documents Proposal. If the Sponsors or their affiliates enter into any such purchases, agreements or transactions:

•

any such purchases of securities would be made at a price no higher than the redemption price;

•

In addition to the above, please see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to PNAC and the Business Combination” and “Information Related to PNAC — Conflicts of Interest” for additional information on interests of PNAC’s directors and officers.

Certain Engagements in Connection with the Business Combination and Related Transactions

On October 25, 2022, PNAC engaged Prime Number Capital LLC (“PNCPS”) and WestPark Capital, Inc. (“WestPark”), the representatives of the underwriters for PNAC IPO, acted as the financial advisors to PNAC in connection with its initial business combination. Pursuant to their engagement letter, PNCPS and WestPark have agreed, if requested by and in consultation with PNAC, among others, to assist PNAC in the transaction structing and negotiation of a definitive purchase agreement with respect to a business combination, hold meetings with PNAC stockholders to discussion business combination and the target’s attributes, introduce PNAC to potential investors in connection with a business combination, assist PNAC with relevant financial analysis, presentations, press releases. PNCPS and Westpark will not receive any additional compensation for services rendered under this engagement except the deferred underwriting fee in the mount of $2,257,500 as provided in a certain underwriting agreement dated May 12, 2022 among PNAC, PNCPS and WestPark, with each of PNCPS and WestPark receiving $1,128,750 in deferred

147

TABLE OF CONTENTS

underwriting fee. PNAC also agrees to reimburse PNCPS and WestPark up to $20,000 for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the performance of their services thereunder.

On October 25, 2022, PNAC and PNCPS entered into a separate engagement whereby PNCPS would, among others, use its reasonable efforts in identifying and introducing potential targets, valuate potential business combination and assess the proposed structure for business combination and assist in managing the process and other related services. In exchange for its services, PNAC has agreed to pay or cause the surviving entity to pay a service fee equal to 0.5% of the total value of all cash, securities, or other property paid or transferred at the closing by or to PNAC, the target and/or their shareholders with respect to a business combination. On January 31, 2023, PNAC and PNCPS amended the original engagement to set forth PNCPS’s compensation thereunder in connection with the initial business Combination, which includes $500,000 in cash and 609,756 newly issued PubCo Ordinary Shares, payable at the Closing. In addition, PNAC also agrees to reimburse PNCPS up to $5,000 for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in rendering their services.

In the aggregate, excluding any out-of-pocket expense reimbursements, PNCPS and WestPark shall receive a total of $2,757,500 in fees and 609,756 PubCo Ordinary Shares in stock, including a total of $1,628,750 in fees and 609,756 PubCo Ordinary Shares in stock to PNCPS, and a total of $1,128,750 in fees to WestPark, contigent and payable upon the consummation of the Business Combination. In considering the recommendation of PNAC Board to vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Governing Documents Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal, PNAC stockholders should keep in mind that PNCPS, WestPark and entities affiliated with these advisors have interests in such proposals that are different from, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), those of PNAC stockholders generally, including those discussed above.

In addition, on April 30, 2023, PNAC entered into a Placement Agent Agreement with PNCPS, pursuant to which PNCPS shall act as the placement agent for the solicitation and placecement of securities of PNAC, in exchange for a placement fee of 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds received by PNAC from the sales of such securities.

PNCPS and WestPark have not sent, and do not anticipate sending, any notice about ceasing involvement with the Business Combination. In addition, neither has waived the deferred underwriting fee from PNAC’s IPO.

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

•

noco-noco’s operations prior to the Business Combination will comprise the ongoing operations of PubCo;

•

noco-noco’s existing senior management team will comprise all or majority of the senior management team of PubCo; and

•

noco-noco’s shareholders, or the Sellers, are expected to have a majority of the voting power of PubCo.

THE GOVERNING DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL

General

As a condition precedent to the Share Exchange Closing, the Existing PNAC Charter will effectively be replaced by the Amended PubCo Charter given that holders of PNAC Common Stock will, effective as of the consummation of the Merger Closing (and assuming such holders do not redeem their shares of PNAC Common Stock) hold PubCo Ordinary Shares subject to the Amended PubCo Charter.

PNAC stockholders are asked to consider and vote upon and to approve by the affirmative vote of four separate proposals (collectively, the “Governing Documents Proposal”) in connection with the replacement of the Existing PNAC Charter with the Amended PubCo Charter. Each of the Business Combination Proposal and the Governing Documents Proposal are cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. If any one of these proposals is not approved by PNAC stockholders, the Business Combination shall not be consummated.

The Amended PubCo Charter differ materially from the Existing PNAC Charter. The following table sets forth a summary of the material changes proposed between the Existing PNAC Charter and the Amended PubCo Charter that are included in the Governing Documents Proposal. This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the Amended PubCo Charter, attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B. PNAC stockholders are encouraged to read the Amended PubCo Charter in their entirety for a more complete description of their terms.

Additionally, we encourage shareholders to carefully review the information set out under the “Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights” section of this proxy statement/prospectus.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

THE GOVERNING DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL A
(AUTHORIZED SHARE CAPITAL)

Overview

Governing Documents Proposal A — to approve in all respects that upon the Merger Effective Time (as defined in the Certificate of Merger), the effective change in authorized share capital from (i) the authorized share capital of PNAC immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (as defined in the Certificate of Merger) of 20,500,000 shares, consisting of (a) 20,100,000 shares of PNAC Common Stock, including (i) 20,000,000 shares of PNAC Class A Common Stock, and (ii) 100,000 shares of PNAC Class B Common Stock, and (b) 400,000 shares of PNAC Preferred Stock, to (ii) the authorized share capital of PubCo of $50,000 divided into 500,000,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares of a par value of $0.0001 each.

Assuming the Business Combination Proposal is approved, PNAC stockholders are also being asked to approve Governing Documents Proposal A, which is, in the judgment of PNAC’s board of directors, necessary to adequately address the needs of PubCo after the Business Combination.

If Governing Documents Proposal A is approved, the authorized share capital will be effectively changed as set forth above.

This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the Amended PubCo Charter, copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B. All PNAC stockholders are encouraged to read the Amended PubCo Charter in their entirety for a more complete description of their terms.

Reasons for the Change

The purpose of this proposal is to provide for an authorized share capital structure of PubCo that will enable it to have available for issuance a number of authorized shares of ordinary shares sufficient to support its growth and to provide flexibility for future corporate needs.

Votes Required for Approval

The approval of the Governing Documents Proposal A will require the affirmative votes of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of PNAC Common Stock entitled to vote, who attend, in person or by proxy, and vote thereupon at the Special Meeting.

An abstention or broker non-vote will be counted towards the quorum requirement but will not count as a vote cast at the Special Meeting.

Recommendation of PNAC Board of Directors

THE PNAC BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE PNAC STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE GOVERNING DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL A.

Governing Documents Proposal B — to approve in all respects the effective change in the share capital structure from (i) a multi- class share structure of PNAC immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (as defined in the Certificate of Merger), comprising PNAC Class A Common Stock, PNAC Class B Common Stock and PNAC Preferred Stock, to (ii) a single-class share structure of PubCo, comprising solely PubCo Ordinary Shares, which change will be effected given that holders of the PNAC Common Stock will, effective as of the Merger Closing (and assuming such holders do not redeem their shares of PNAC Common Stock), hold PubCo Ordinary Shares.

Assuming the Business Combination Proposal is approved, PNAC stockholders are also being asked to approve Governing Documents Proposal B, which is, in the judgment of PNAC Board, necessary to adequately address the needs of PubCo after the Business Combination.

If Governing Documents Proposal B is approved, the share structure will be effectively changed as set forth above.

Reasons for the Change

The purpose of this proposal is to provide for a share structure of PubCo that will enable holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares to have equal voting power to the number of shares held in PubCo.

Votes Required for Approval

The approval of the Governing Documents Proposal B will require the affirmative votes of the holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of PNAC Common Stock entitled to vote, who attend, in person or by proxy, and vote thereupon at the Special Meeting.

An abstention or broker non-vote will be counted towards the quorum requirement but will not count as a vote cast at the Special Meeting.

Recommendation of PNAC Board of Directors

THE PNAC BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE PNAC STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE GOVERNING DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL B.

THE GOVERNING DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL C
(DIRECTOR APPOINTMENT)

Overview

Governing Documents Proposal C — to approve in all respects the effective change in director appointment from (i) (a) election of directors by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon, subject to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock to vote separately by class or series to elect one or more directors, (b) a board classified into three classes (as nearly equal in number as possible) with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to PNAC’s first annual meeting of stockholders) serving a three-year term, and (c) the number of directors of PNAC, other than those who may be elected by the holders of one or more series of the Preferred Stock voting separately by class or series, being fixed from time to time exclusively by the board of PNAC pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the directors, to (ii) (a) election of Directors by Ordinary Resolution (as defined in the Amended PubCo Charter) or by the Directors, (b) a non-classified board with each Director serving a term expiring at the next following annual general meeting of the PubCo unless re-appointed or removed pursuant to the Amended PubCo Charter, and (c) the total number of Directors of PubCo being at least three and the maximum number of Directors being unlimited, subject to PubCo’s increase or reduction of the limits on the number of Directors by Ordinary Resolution (as defined in the Amended PubCo Charter).

Assuming the Business Combination Proposal is approved, PNAC stockholders are also being asked to approve Governing Documents Proposal C, which is, in the judgment of PNAC Board, necessary to adequately address the needs of PubCo after the Business Combination.

If Governing Documents Proposal C is approved, the director appointment rights will be effectively changed as set forth above.

Reasons for the Change

The purpose of this proposal is to provide for director appointment rights in respect of the PubCo Board such that PubCo Directors can be elected in a manner suitable for its operations and its status as a publicly traded company.

Votes Required for Approval

The approval of the Governing Documents Proposal C will require the affirmative votes of the holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of PNAC Common Stock entitled to vote, who attend, in person or by proxy, and vote thereupon at the Special Meeting.

An abstention or broker non-vote will be counted towards the quorum requirement but will not count as a vote cast at the Special Meeting.

THE GOVERNING DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL D
(OTHER PROVISIONS INCLUDING STATUS AS A BLANK CHECK COMPANY)

Overview

Governing Documents Proposal D — to authorize all other changes arising from or in connection with the effective substitution of PNAC’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws in effect immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (as defined in the Certificate of Merger) by the Amended PubCo Charter as the governing documents applicable to the holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares, including the removal of certain provisions relating to PNAC’s status as a blank check company that will not be applicable following consummation of the Business Combination.

Assuming the Business Combination Proposal is approved, PNAC stockholders are also being asked to approve Governing Documents Proposal D, which is, in the judgment of PNAC Board, necessary to adequately address the needs of PubCo after the Business Combination.

The Amended PubCo Charter will not contain provisions related to a blank check company (including those related to operation of the Trust Account, winding up of PNAC’s operations should PNAC not complete a business combination by a specified date, and other such blank check-specific provisions as are present in the Existing PNAC Charter) because following the consummation of the Business Combination, PubCo will not be a blank check company.

Approval of each of the four separate proposals constituting the Governing Documents Proposal, assuming approval of the Business Combination Proposal, will result, upon the closing of the Business Combination, in the complete replacement of the Existing PNAC Charter with the Amended PubCo Charter. While certain material changes between the Existing PNAC Charter and the Amended PubCo Charter have been unbundled into distinct Governing Documents Proposals or otherwise identified in this Governing Documents Proposal D, there are other differences between the Existing PNAC Charter and Amended PubCo Charter that will be approved (subject to the approval of the aforementioned related proposals and consummation of the Business Combination) if PNAC stockholders approve this Governing Documents Proposal D. Accordingly, we encourage PNAC stockholders to carefully review the terms of the Amended PubCo Charter, attached hereto as Annex B, as well as the information provided in the “Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights” section of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Reasons for the Change

The PubCo board of directors believes that the elimination of certain provisions related to PNAC’s status as a blank check company is desirable because these provisions will serve no purpose following the Business Combination. For example, the Amended PubCo Charter do not include the requirement to dissolve PubCo upon failure to consummate a business combination in accordance with its terms, and allows PubCo to continue as a corporate entity following the Business Combination. In addition, certain other provisions in PNAC’s current certificate require that proceeds from PNAC’s initial public offering be held in the Trust Account until a business combination or liquidation of PNAC has occurred. These provisions cease to apply once the Business Combination is consummated and are therefore not included in the Amended PubCo Charter.

Votes Required for Approval

The approval of the Governing Documents Proposal D will require the affirmative votes of the holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of PNAC Common Stock entitled to vote, who attend, in person or by proxy, and vote thereupon at the Special Meeting.

An abstention or broker non-vote will be counted towards the quorum requirement but will not count as a vote cast at the Special Meeting.

THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

General

PNAC stockholders are being asked to adopt the Adjournment Proposal.

The Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, shall allow PNAC Board to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary. In no event shall PNAC solicit proxies to adjourn the Special Meeting or consummate the Business Combination beyond the date by which it may properly do so under the PNAC Charter and the DGCL. The purpose of the adjournment proposal is to provide more time to meet the requirements that are necessary to consummate the Business Combination. See the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of PNAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination.”

Consequences If the Adjournment Proposal Is Not Approved

If the Adjournment Proposal is presented to the meeting and is not approved by the shareholders, PNAC’s Board may not be able to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates. In such event, the Business Combination would not be completed.

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be proposed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that the adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates to be determined by the chairman of the Special Meeting, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies is hereby confirmed, ratified and approved in all respects.”

Votes Required for Approval

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal will require the consent of the meeting, which means a simple majority of the votes which are cast by those shareholders of PNAC who are present, in person or by proxy, and vote thereupon at the Special Meeting.

An abstention or broker non-vote will be counted towards the quorum requirement but will not count as a vote cast at the Special Meeting.

MATERIAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a discussion of U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of PNAC Common Stock that either (i) participate in the Business Combination, including of owning and disposing of PNAC Common Stock or (ii) elect to have their PNAC Public Shares redeemed for cash. This discussion addresses only those holders of PNAC Common Stock that hold their PNAC Common Stock as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to holders in light of their particular circumstances or status including:

•

the PNAC Initial Stockholders;

•

financial institutions or financial services entities;

•

broker-dealers;

•

taxpayers that are subject to the mark-to-market accounting rules;

•

tax-exempt entities, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts or other tax-deferred accounts;

•

governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

•

insurance companies;

•

regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;

•

U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;

•

persons that own (directly, indirectly, by attribution, or constructively) own five percent or more of our voting shares or five percent or more of the total value of any class of our shares;

•

persons that acquired our ordinary shares pursuant to an exercise of employee share options, in connection with employee share incentive plans or otherwise as compensation;

•

persons that hold our ordinary shares as part of a straddle, constructive sale, hedging, conversion or other integrated or similar transaction; or

•

persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar; or

•

controlled foreign corporations or passive foreign investment companies.

This discussion is based on the Code, its legislative history, proposed, temporary and final Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code, and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, all as of the date hereof. All of the foregoing is subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and could affect the tax considerations described herein. This discussion does not address U.S. federal taxes other than those pertaining to U.S. federal income taxation (such as estate or gift taxes, the alternative minimum tax or the Medicare tax on investment income), nor does it address any aspects of U.S. state or local or non-U.S. taxation.

We have not and do not intend to seek any rulings from the IRS regarding the Business Combination or an exercise of redemption rights. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not take positions inconsistent with the considerations discussed below or that any such positions would not be sustained by a court.

This discussion does not consider the tax treatment of partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons who hold our ordinary shares through such entities. If a partnership (or any entity or arrangement so characterized for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our ordinary shares, the tax treatment of such partnership and a person treated as a partner of such partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding any of our ordinary shares and persons that are treated as partners of such partnerships should consult their tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination and an exercise of redemption rights to them.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

EACH HOLDER SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH HOLDER OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AND AN EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS.

As used herein, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of PNAC Common Stock or PubCo Ordinary Shares following the Closing (as the case may be) who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•

an individual citizen or resident of the United States,

•

a corporation (or other entity that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is created or organized (or treated as created or organized) in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia,

•

an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source, or

•

a trust if (i) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) it has a valid election in place to be treated as a U.S. person.

Effects of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination will depend primarily upon whether the Business Combination qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code.

Under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, a reorganization is a “mere change in identity, form, or place of organization of one corporation, however effected” (an “F Reorganization”), and under Section 368(a)(2)(D) of the Code, a reorganization is when “a target corporation is acquired by the subsidiary of a parent” (a “forward triangular merger”). Pursuant to the Business Combination, Merger Sub will merge with and into PNAC, and PNAC becomes a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo. Immediately after the Merger, PubCo will, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, own the same assets and be subject to the same liabilities as PNAC immediately prior to the Merger, and will have the same shareholders as PNAC did immediately prior to the Merger.

Messina Madrid Law PA has delivered an opinion that the Business Combination will qualify as an F Reorganization. Such opinion is filed as Exhibit 8.1 to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part and is based on customary assumptions, representations and covenants. If any of the assumptions, representations or covenants on which the opinion is based is or becomes incorrect, incomplete, inaccurate or is otherwise not complied with, the validity of the opinion described above may be adversely affected and the tax consequences of the Business Combination could differ from those described herein. An opinion of counsel is not binding on the IRS or any court, and there can be no certainty that the IRS will not challenge the conclusions reflected in the opinion or that a court would not sustain such a challenge.

Assuming that the Business Combination qualifies as an F Reorganization, U.S. Holders of PNAC Common Stock (or PubCo Ordinary Shares following the Merger Closing) will generally not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes on the Business Combination. The remaining discussion under this section assumes that the Business Combination qualifies as an F Reorganization.

All holders considering exercising redemption rights with respect to their ordinary shares are urged to consult with their tax advisors with respect to the potential tax consequences to them of the Business Combination and an exercise of redemption rights.

Basis and Holding Period Considerations

Assuming that the Business Combination qualifies as an F Reorganization: (i) the tax basis of a PubCo Ordinary Share received by a U.S. Holder in the Business Combination will equal the U.S. Holder’s tax basis

160

TABLE OF CONTENTS

in the PNAC Share surrendered in exchange therefor, and (ii) the holding period for a share of PubCo Ordinary Share received by a U.S. Holder will include such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the PNAC share surrendered in exchange therefor. However, it is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the PNAC Common Stock may prevent the holding period of the PubCo Ordinary Shares from commencing prior to the termination of such rights.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations of Owning PubCo Ordinary Shares

Taxation of Dividends and Other Distributions on PubCo Ordinary Shares

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, if PubCo makes a distribution of cash or other property to a U.S. Holder of PubCo Ordinary Shares, such distributions will generally be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent the distribution is paid out of PubCo’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Such dividends will be taxable to a corporate U.S. holder at regular rates and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to domestic corporations in respect of dividends received from other domestic corporations.

Distributions in excess of such earnings and profits will generally be applied against and reduce the U.S. Holder’s basis in its PubCo Ordinary Shares (but not below zero) and, to the extent in excess of such basis, will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such PubCo Ordinary Shares. Because PubCo does not expect to determine its earnings and profits on the basis of U.S. federal income tax principles, any distribution paid by PubCo will generally be reported as a dividend.

With respect to non-corporate U.S. Holders, dividends will generally be taxed at preferential long-term capital gains rates only if (i) PubCo Ordinary Shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States or (ii) PubCo is eligible for the benefits of an applicable income tax treaty, in each case provided that PubCo is not treated as a PFIC in the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or in any previous year and certain other requirements are met. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to PubCo Ordinary Shares.

Taxation on the Disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, upon a sale or other taxable disposition of PubCo Ordinary Shares, a U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss. The amount of gain or loss recognized will generally be equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received in such disposition and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such ordinary shares.

Under tax law currently in effect, long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders are generally subject to U.S. federal income tax at a reduced rate of tax. Capital gain or loss will constitute long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the ordinary shares exceeds one year. However, it is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the PNAC Common Stock may prevent the holding period of the PubCo Ordinary Shares from commencing prior to the termination of such rights. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to various limitations.

PFIC Considerations

Definition of a PFIC

A foreign (i.e., non-U.S.) corporation will be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes if at least 75% of its gross income in a taxable year of the foreign corporation, including its pro rata share of the gross income of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, is passive income. Alternatively, a foreign corporation will be a PFIC if at least 50% of its assets in a taxable year of the foreign corporation, ordinarily determined based on fair market value and averaged quarterly over the year, including its pro rata share of the assets of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, are held for the production of, or produce, passive income. Passive income generally

161

TABLE OF CONTENTS

includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than certain rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of passive assets.

Pursuant to a start-up exception, a corporation will not be a PFIC for the first taxable year the corporation has gross income, if (1) no predecessor of the foreign corporation was a PFIC; (2) the corporation satisfies the IRS that it will not be a PFIC for either of the first two taxable years following the start-up year; and (3) the corporation is not in fact a PFIC for either of those years.

PFIC Status of PNAC and PubCo

Although a foreign corporation’s PFIC determination will be made annually, a determination that PNAC or PubCo is a PFIC will generally continue to apply to subsequent years in which a U.S. Holder continues to hold shares in such entity (including a successor entity), whether or not such entity is a PFIC in those subsequent years. Because, following the Business Combination, PubCo will be treated as the successor to PNAC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, any PubCo Ordinary Shares received in exchange for PNAC Common Stock in the Business Combination may, in the absence of certain elections described below, be treated as stock of a PFIC if PNAC was treated as a PFIC during the holding period of a U.S. Holder.

Based on the anticipated timing of the Business Combination, the anticipated assets and income of the combined company and the application of the start-up exception, PNAC or its successor PubCo (as the case may be) are not currently expected to be treated as a PFIC for the current taxable year ending on December 31, 2022 (the “Current Taxable Year”) or the foreseeable future. However, as further discussed below, the facts on which any determination of PFIC status are based may not be known until the close of each taxable year in question, and, in the case of the Current Taxable Year, until as late as the close of two subsequent taxable years. Additionally, there is uncertainty regarding the application of the start-up exception.

Although PNAC or PubCo (as the case may be) will likely meet the PFIC income or asset tests for the Current Taxable Year, the start-up exception is expected to apply to prevent such entity from being treated as a PFIC for the Current Taxable Year provided that the combined company does not meet either test in the two years subsequent to the Current Taxable Year. Based on the anticipated timing of the Business Combination and the anticipated assets and income of the combined company, PubCo is not expected to meet either test for the year following the Current Taxable Year or the foreseeable future. However, the timing of the Business Combination is not certain. If the Business Combination is completed later than expected, it is possible that PubCo is treated as a PFIC for the taxable year following the Current Taxable Year, in which case the start-up exception will not apply. Additionally, if the Business Combination is completed in the Current Taxable Year, it is possible that the Service takes the position that the start-up exception does not apply to the Current Taxable Year based on the view, consistent with a 2002 Field Service Advisory, that PNAC was a PFIC for the taxable year ending December 31, 2022, despite the fact that PNAC (PubCo’s predecessor) had no gross income in such taxable year. Moreover, because PFIC status is an annual factual determination, PubCo may become a PFIC in future if the composition of its income or assets, or the market price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares, were to change, regardless of whether the Business Combination is completed within the expected timing or the start-up exception applies. Accordingly, there can be no assurance with respect to the PFIC status of PNAC or PubCo for the Current Taxable Year or any future taxable year.

Application of PFIC Rules to Ordinary Shares

If (i) PNAC or PubCo is determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder and (ii) the U.S. Holder did not make a timely and effective QEF election for PNAC’s or PubCo’s (as the case may be) first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held ordinary shares (whether PNAC Ordinary Shares or PubCo Ordinary Shares) (such taxable year as it relates to each U.S. Holder, the “First PFIC Holding Year”), a QEF election along with a purging election, or a “mark-to-market” election, each as described below under “QEF Election, Mark-to-Market Election and Purging Election,” then such holder will generally be subject to special rules (the “Default PFIC Regime”) with respect to:

162

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its PubCo Ordinary Shares; and

•

any “excess distribution” made to the U.S. Holder (generally, any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a taxable year of the U.S. Holder that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of its ordinary shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter, such U.S. Holder’s holding period for such ordinary shares).

Under the Default PFIC Regime:

•

the U.S. Holder’s gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for its PubCo Ordinary Shares (taking into account the relevant holding period of the PNAC Common Stock exchanged therefor);

•

the amount of gain allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the U.S. Holder recognized the gain or received the excess distribution, or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holding period before the first day of the first taxable year in which PNAC was or PubCo is a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income;

•

the amount of gain allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in such U.S. Holder’s holding period will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. Holder; and

•

an additional tax equal to the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the U.S. Holder in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of such U.S. Holder.

ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE EFFECTS OF THE PFIC RULES ON THE REDEMPTION OF PNAC COMMON STOCK OR ON THE OWNERSHIP OR DISPOSITION OF PUBCO ORDINARY SHARES, INCLUDING THE IMPACT OF ANY PROPOSED OR FINAL TREASURY REGULATIONS.

QEF Election, Mark-to-Market Election and Purging Election

In general, if PNAC or PubCo is determined to be a PFIC, a U.S. Holder may avoid the Default PFIC Regime with respect to its ordinary shares by making a timely and effective “qualified electing fund” election under Section 1295 of the Code (a “QEF Election”) for such holder’s First PFIC Holding Year. In order to comply with the requirements of a QEF election with respect to PubCo Ordinary Shares, a U.S. Holder must receive certain information from PubCo. Because PubCo does not intend to provide such information, however, the QEF Election will not be available to U.S. Holders with respect to PubCo Ordinary Shares. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to any QEF Election previously made with respect to PNAC Common Stock.

Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns (or is deemed to own) shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable shares, the U.S. Holder may make a mark-to-market election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. If the U.S. Holder makes a valid mark-to-market election for such holder’s First PFIC Holding Year, such holder will generally not be subject to the Default PFIC Regime in respect to its ordinary shares as long as such shares continue to be treated as marketable shares. Instead, the U.S. Holder will generally include as ordinary income for each year in its holding period that PubCo or PNAC is treated as a PFIC the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its ordinary shares at the end of its taxable year over the adjusted basis in its ordinary shares. The U.S. Holder also will be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its PubCo Ordinary Shares over the fair market value of its ordinary shares at the end of its taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in its ordinary shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts, and any further gain recognized on a sale or other taxable disposition of the ordinary shares in a taxable year in which PNAC or PubCo is treated as a PFIC will be treated as ordinary income. Special tax rules may also apply if a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election for a taxable year after such holder’s First PFIC Holding Year.

163

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The mark-to-market election is available only for stock that is regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Nasdaq. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a mark-to-market election in respect of PNAC Common Stock or PubCo Ordinary Shares under their particular circumstances.

PubCo Ordinary Shares treated as stock of a PFIC under the Default PFIC Regime (including PubCo Ordinary Shares received in exchange for PNAC Common Stock that were so treated at the time of the Business Combination) will continue to be treated as stock of a PFIC, including in taxable years in which PubCo ceases to be a PFIC, unless the applicable U.S. Holder makes a “purging election” with respect to such shares. Under one type of purging election, the U.S. Holder will be deemed to have sold such shares at their fair market value on the last day of the last year in which PNAC or PubCo, as applicable, is treated as a PFIC, and any gain recognized on such deemed sale will be treated as an excess distribution, as described above. As a result of this election, the U.S. Holder will have additional basis (to the extent of any gain recognized in the deemed sale) and, solely for purposes of the PFIC rules, a new holding period in such holder’s PubCo Ordinary Shares. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the purging elections rules to their particular circumstances.

If PubCo is a PFIC and, at any time, has a foreign subsidiary that is classified as a PFIC, U.S. Holders would generally be deemed to own a portion of the shares of such lower-tier PFIC, and generally could incur liability for the deferred tax and interest charge described above if PubCo receives a distribution from, or disposes of all or part of PubCo’s interest in, the lower-tier PFIC or the U.S. Holders otherwise were deemed to have disposed of an interest in the lower-tier PFIC. A mark-to-market election generally would not technically be available with respect to such lower-tier PFIC. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax issues raised by lower-tier PFICs.

A U.S. Holder that owns (or is deemed to own) shares in a PFIC during any taxable year of the U.S. Holder, may have to file an IRS Form 8621(whether or not a QEF or market-to-market election is made) with such U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax return and provide such other information as may be required by the U.S. Treasury Department. The rules dealing with PFICs and with the QEF and mark-to-market elections are very complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. Accordingly, U.S. Holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares should consult their own tax advisors concerning the application of the PFIC rules to PubCo Ordinary Shares under their particular circumstances.

THE RULES DEALING WITH PFICS ARE VERY COMPLEX AND ARE IMPACTED BY VARIOUS FACTORS IN ADDITION TO THOSE DESCRIBED ABOVE. ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE PFIC RULES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WHETHER A QEF ELECTION, A MARK-TO-MARKET ELECTION OR ANY OTHER ELECTION IS AVAILABLE AND THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF ANY SUCH ELECTION, AND THE IMPACT OF ANY PROPOSED OR FINAL PFIC TREASURY REGULATIONS.

Effects to U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed above, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder of ordinary shares that exercises its redemption rights to receive cash in exchange for all or a portion of its ordinary shares will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of such shares redeemed under Section 302 of the Code or is treated as a distribution under Section 301 of the Code, as well as on whether such holder has made a timely QEF Election or mark-to-market election (each as discussed above).

It is expected that a redeeming U.S. Holder will generally be treated as selling its ordinary shares. The redemption of ordinary shares will generally qualify as a sale of the ordinary shares that are redeemed if such redemption (i) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the redeeming U.S. Holder, (ii) results in a “complete termination” of such U.S. Holder’s interest or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to such U.S. Holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

For purposes of such tests, a U.S. Holder takes into account not only ordinary shares actually owned by such U.S. Holder, but also ordinary shares that are constructively owned by such U.S. Holder. A redeeming

164

TABLE OF CONTENTS

U.S. Holder may constructively own, in addition to ordinary shares owned directly, ordinary shares owned by certain related individuals and entities in which such U.S. Holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. Holder, as well as any ordinary shares such U.S. Holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include shares which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the warrants.

The redemption of ordinary shares will generally be “substantially disproportionate” with respect to a redeeming U.S. Holder if the percentage of the respective entity’s outstanding voting shares that such U.S. Holder actually or constructively owns immediately after the redemption is less than 80% of the percentage of the respective entity’s outstanding voting shares that such U.S. Holder actually or constructively owned immediately before the redemption. Prior to the Business Combination, the ordinary shares may not be treated as voting shares for this purpose and, consequently, this substantially disproportionate test may not be applicable. There will be a complete termination of such U.S. Holder’s interest if either (i) all of the ordinary shares actually or constructively owned by such U.S. Holder are redeemed or (ii) all of the ordinary shares actually owned by such U.S. Holder are redeemed and such U.S. Holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of ordinary shares owned by certain family members and such U.S. Holder does not constructively own any other ordinary shares. The redemption of ordinary shares will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if it results in a “meaningful reduction” of such U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in the respective entity. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in such U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest will depend on the particular facts and circumstances applicable to it. The IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority shareholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.”

If none of the above tests is satisfied, a redemption will be treated as a distribution under Section 301 of the Code with respect to ordinary shares, and the tax effects will be as described for distributions on PubCo Ordinary Shares under “— Taxation of Dividends and Other Distributions on PubCo Ordinary Shares” above. After the application of those rules, any remaining tax basis a U.S. Holder has in the redeemed ordinary shares will be added to the adjusted tax basis in such holder’s remaining ordinary shares. If there are no remaining ordinary shares, a U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisors as to the allocation of any remaining basis.

Certain U.S. Holders may be subject to special reporting requirements with respect to a redemption of ordinary shares, and such holders should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to their reporting requirements.

ALL U.S. HOLDERS CONSIDERING EXERCISING REDEMPTION RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THEIR ORDINARY SHARES ARE URGED TO CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF AN EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE POTENTIAL TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION.

Cayman Islands Tax Considerations

The following summary contains a description of certain Cayman Islands income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of ordinary shares, but it does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase ordinary shares. The summary is based upon the tax laws of Cayman Islands and regulations thereunder as of the date hereof, which are subject to change.

Prospective investors should consult their professional advisors on the possible tax consequences of buying, holding or selling any shares under the laws of their country of citizenship, residence or domicile.

The following is a discussion on certain Cayman Islands income tax consequences of an investment in the PNAC Common Stock and PubCo Ordinary Shares. The discussion is a general summary of present law, which is subject to prospective and retroactive change. It is not intended as tax advice, does not consider any investor’s particular circumstances, and does not consider tax consequences other than those arising under Cayman Islands law.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Under Existing Cayman Islands Laws:

Payments of dividends and capital in respect of PNAC Securities and PubCo Ordinary Shares will not be subject to taxation in the Cayman Islands and no withholding will be required on the payment of interest and principal or a dividend or capital to any holder of PNAC Common Stock or PubCo Ordinary Shares, as the case may be, nor will gains derived from the disposal of the PNAC Common Stock or PubCo Ordinary Shares be subject to Cayman Islands income or corporation tax. The Cayman Islands currently have no income, corporation or capital gains tax and no estate duty, inheritance tax or gift tax.

No stamp duty is payable in respect of the issue of PNAC securities or PubCo Ordinary Shares or on an instrument of transfer in respect of a PNAC security or a PubCo Ordinary Share.

PubCo has been incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as exempted companies with limited liability and, as such, is in the process of obtaining undertakings from the Governor in Cabinet of the Cayman Islands in the following form:

The Tax Concessions Law

Undertaking as to Tax Concessions

In accordance with Section 6 of the Tax Concessions Law the following undertaking is hereby given to PubCo (the “Company”):

(a)

That no Law which is hereafter enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations shall apply to the Company or its operations; and

(b)

In addition, that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax shall be payable

(i) on or in respect of the shares debentures or other obligations of the Company; or

(ii)

by way of the withholding in whole or part of any relevant payment as defined in the Tax Concessions Law.

Once the undertaking as to tax concession is obtained, the concessions shall be for a period of TWENTY years from the date as specified in the undertaking certificate.

The Cayman Islands currently levy no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains or appreciations and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to PubCo levied by the Government of the Cayman Islands save certain stamp duties which may be applicable, from time to time, on certain instruments executed in or brought within the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands.

The Cayman Islands enacted the International Tax Co-operation (Economic Substance) Act (2021 Revision) together with the Guidance Notes published by the Cayman Islands Tax Information Authority from time to time. The Company is required to comply with the economic substance requirements from July 1, 2019 and make an annual report in the Cayman Islands as to whether or not it is carrying on any relevant activities and if it is, it must satisfy an economic substance test.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Introduction

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022, present the combination of financial information of noco-noco Pte. Ltd. (“noco-noco”) and Prime Number Acquisition I Corp (“PNAC”) after giving effect on the Business Combination Transactions and related adjustments described in the accompanying notes, and have been prepared in accordance with Artcle 11 of Regulation S-X.

noco-noco Pte. Ltd. is a platform-solution provider of decarbonization offerings, aim to truly solve urgent environmental crises through the comprehensive decarbonization of all forms of transportation.

Prime Number Acquisition I Corp. (“PNAC”) is a newly organized blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on February 25, 2021. The Company was formed 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”).

Description of the Business Combination

On December 29, 2022, the board of directors of Prime Number Acquisition I Corp., a Delaware corporation (“PNAC”), has unanimously approved the Business Combination Agreement, by and among Prime Number Holding Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“PubCo”), PNAC, Prime Number Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub”), Prime Number New Sub Pte. Ltd., a Singapore private company limited by shares and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“New SubCo”), noco-noco Pte. Ltd., a Singapore private company limited by shares (“noco-noco”), and certain shareholders of noco-noco collectively holding a controlling interest (together with other shareholders of noco-noco subsequently joining the transactions, the “Sellers”), pursuant to which PNAC is proposing to enter into a business combination with noco-noco involving a merger and a share exchange, among which: (i) Merger Sub shall merger with and into PNAC, with PNAC as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Merger”), (ii) New SubCo shall acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of noco-noco from the Sellers, and in exchange, PubCo shall issue to the Sellers the ordinary shares of PubCo, with noco-noco becoming a subsidiary of New SubCo and an indirect subsidiary of PubCo (the “Share Exchange”, and together with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”). Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, each of PNAC and noco-noco would become a subsidiary of PubCo, and PNAC stockholders and the Sellers would receive ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of PubCo (“PubCo Ordinary Shares”) as consideration and become the shareholders of PubCo.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 give pro forma effect to the Business Combination consummated on December 31, 2022 treated as a reverse recapitalization for accounting purposes and the Private Placement as if they had been consummated as of January 1, 2022.

The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information has been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in U.S. dollars. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on the historical financial statements of noco-noco and PNAC for the year ended December 31, 2022 (see Note 5 for the detail breakdown of the unaudited condensed statement of operations between January 1, 2022, and June 30, 2022 and between July 1, 2022, and December 31, 2022), giving effect to the transaction as if it occurred on January 1, 2022 and reflecting the pro forma adjustments expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the assumptions below:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Business Combination and has been prepared for informational purposes only.

The historical financial statements for Subco and PNAC have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Sellers will hold the majority ownership interest. Under the no redemption scenario, PNAC initial and public stockholders, and Transaction Financing Investors will hold 6.98% ownership interest compared to the 93.02% ownership interest of The Sellers. Under the maximum redemption scenario, PNAC initial and public stockholders, and Transaction Financing Investors will hold 2.54% ownership interest compared to the 97.46% ownership interest of The Sellers.

Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of the combined company will represent a continuation of the consolidated financial statements of PNAC with the acquisition being treated as the equivalent of PNAC issuing shares for the net assets of Subco, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of PNAC and Subco will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

PNAC and Subco did not have any historical relationship prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for year ended December 31, 2022 are based on the historical financial statements of PNAC and Subco, and the pro forma information reflects a PubCo per share price of $10.34 in the Trust Account based on the estimated redemption price of $10.34 per share as of December 31, 2022. The accounting adjustments for the Business Combination consist of those necessary to account for the Business Combination.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

•

Subco’s unaudited balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, and the related notes for the period ended December 31, 2022, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

•

PNAC’s audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, and the related notes for the year ended December 31, 2022 included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

•

Subco’s unaudited statement of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

•

PNAC’s audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, and the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings, or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination.

Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments. The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Business Combination are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that PNAC believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited condensed pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments and it is possible the difference may be material. PNAC believes that these assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Business Combination based on

172

TABLE OF CONTENTS

information available to management at the time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Transactions taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the combined company. They should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of PNAC and Subco.

Note 2 — Accounting Policies

Based on an initial analysis in preparation for the Business Combination, management did not identify any differences between the two entities’ accounting policies that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not assume any differences in accounting policies.

Note 3 — Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Financial Position

Pro forma adjustments to the attached condensed combined financial statements include the following:

Represents the redemption of 1,517,701 shares as of date of proxy statement/prospectus

TABLE OF CONTENTS

INFORMATION RELATED TO PNAC

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to the “Company,” “PNAC,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to PNAC prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

Introduction

PNAC is a blank check company incorporated on February 25, 2021, as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to throughout this proxy statement/prospectus as our initial Business Combination. Based on its business activities, PNAC is a “shell company” as defined under the Exchange Act, because it has no operations and nominal assets consisting almost entirely of cash.

Initial Public Offering

The registration statement for PNAC IPO became effective on May 12, 2022. On May 17, 2022, PNAC consummated the PNAC of 6,450,000 PNAC Units which included 450,000 PNAC Units issued upon the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. The PNAC Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, with each PNAC Unit consists of one share of PNAC Class A Common Stock, one half of one PNAC Warrant, and one PNAC Right, generating gross proceeds of $64,500,000. Simultaneously with the PNAC IPO, PNAC completed the private sale of 398,892 PNAC Private Shares to the Sponsors at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, generating gross proceeds of $3,988,920.

Upon the closing of the PNAC IPO and the private placement on May 17, 2022, the proceeds of $65,790,000 (or $10.20 per public share) in the aggregate from the IPO and the private placement were placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) with Wilmington Trust, N.A. acting as trustee and will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. These funds will not be released until the earlier of the completion of the initial business combination or the liquidation due to PNAC’s failure to complete a business combination by May 17, 2023 (or November 17, 2023, if extended) (such date is referred as the “Final Redemption Date”). The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of PNAC’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the PNAC Public Stockholders. In addition, interest income earned on the funds in the Trust Account may be released to PNAC to pay its income or other tax obligations. With these exceptions, expenses incurred by PNAC may be paid prior to a business combination only from the net proceeds of the IPO and private placement not held in the Trust Account.

May 15, 2023 Special Stockholder Meeting and Subsequent Monthly Extensions

On May 15, 2023, PNAC held a special meeting of stockholders where PNAC stockholders approved the proposal to amend the PNAC’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to allow PNAC until May 17, 2023 to consummate an initial business combination, and to elect to extend the period to consummate an initial business combination up to six times, each by an additional one-month period, for a total of up to six months to November 17, 2023, by depositing to PNAC’s Trust Account $125,000 for each one-month extension (each a “Monthly Extension”). On May 17, 2023, PNAC filed a certificate of amendment to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, effective on the same date, to effectuate the proposal. In connection with the votes to approve the proposal, 1,537,701 PNAC Public Shares were tendered for redemption on May 13, 2023, and were cancelled on May 22, 2023. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, a total of 4,912,299 PNAC Public Shares are issued and outstanding.

As of the date hereof, three payments, each in the amount of $125,000 (each, a “Monthly Extension Payment”) respectively on May 17, 2023, June 14, 2023 and July 14, 2023, were deposited into the Trust Account for the PNAC Public Stockholders for three Monthly Extensions, as a result of which, PNAC currently has until August 17, 2023 to consummate the Business Combination.

178

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In connection with the Monthly Extension Payments, the Company issued three unsecured promissory notes, each in the amount of $125,000 (the “noco-noco Notes”) to noco-noco. The noco-noco Notes are non-interest bearing and payable (subject to the waiver against trust provisions) on the earlier of (i) consummation of the Company’s initial business combination and (ii) the date of the liquidation of the Company. The principal balance may be prepaid at any time, at the election of the Company. The holder of the noco-noco Notes has the right, but not the obligation, to convert the noco-noco Notes, in whole or in part, respectively, into private placement shares (the “Working Capital Shares”) of the Company, by providing the Company with written notice of its intention to convert the Note at least two business days prior to the closing of the Company’s initial business combination. The number of Working Capital Shares to be received by the holder in connection with such conversion shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to the holder, by (y) $10.00.

Effecting Our Business Combination

Fair Market Value of noco-noco’s Business

Pursuant to Nasdaq listing rules, the initial business combination must occur with one or more target businesses having an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80% of the value of the funds in the Trust Account (excluding any deferred underwriting discounts and commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account), which PNAC refers to as the 80% test, at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for its initial Business Combination. If PNAC is no longer listed on Nasdaq, it will not be required to satisfy the 80% test. PNAC will only complete a business combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

Voting Restrictions in Connection with Special Meeting

The PNAC Initial Stockholders have agreed (A) to vote their PNAC Founder Shares, PNAC Private Shares, and any PNAC Public Shares they may own in favor of any proposed business combination, (B) not to propose, or vote in favor of, prior to and unrelated to an initial business combination, an amendment to the Existing PNAC Charter that would affect the substance or timing of PNAC’s redemption obligation to redeem all PNAC Public Shares if PNAC cannot complete an initial business combination by the Final Redemption Date, unless PNAC provides Public Stockholders an opportunity to redeem their PNAC Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment, (C) not to redeem any PNAC Common Stock they own into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection with a stockholder vote to approve PNAC’s proposed initial business combination or sell any shares to PNAC in any tender offer in connection with its proposed initial business combination, and (D) that the PNAC Founder Shares and PNAC Private Shares shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated.

Redemption Rights for PNAC Public Stockholders upon Completion of the Business Combination

PNAC Public Stockholders may redeem all or a portion of their PNAC Public Shares upon consummation of the Business Combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days before the closing of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable), if any, divided by the number of then issued and outstanding PNAC Public Shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The amount in the Trust Account is initially anticipated to be $10.20 per share. The per share amount we will distribute to investors who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions PNAC will pay to the underwriters of PNAC IPO. The redemption rights will include the requirement that a beneficial holder must identify itself in order to validly redeem its shares. Further, PNAC will not proceed with redeeming our PNAC Public Shares, even if a PNAC Public Stockholder has properly elected to redeem its PNAC Public Shares, if the Business Combination does not close. See the section titled “Special Meeting of PNAC stockholders — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your shares for cash.

179

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Limitations on Redemption Rights

The Existing PNAC Charter provides that in no event will PNAC redeem its PNAC Public Shares in an amount that would cause the net tangible assets of it or the entity that succeeds PNAC as a public company to be less than $5,000,001 either before or upon closing of an initial business combination (so that it does not then become subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules). In the event the aggregate cash consideration it would be required to pay for all PNAC Common Stock that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to PubCo, we will not complete the Business Combination or redeem any shares, and all PNAC Public Shares submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof.

Redemption of PNAC Public Shares and Liquidation if No Business Combination

The Existing PNAC Charter provides that PNAC will have only until the Final Redemption Date to consummate an initial business combination. If we have not consummated an initial business combination by the Final Redemption Date, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the PNAC Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes or for working capital purposes (less up to 50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding PNAC Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

PNAC Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any PNAC Founder Shares and PNAC Private Shares held by them if we fail to complete our business combination by the Final Redemption Date. However, if any of PNAC Initial Stockholders acquire PNAC Public Shares after the PNAC IPO, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such PNAC Public Shares if we fail to complete our business combination by the Final Redemption Date.

We expect that all costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts remaining held outside the Trust Account plus up to $50,000 of funds from the Trust Account available to us to pay dissolution expenses, although we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose.

For illustrative purposes, as of July 13, 2023, the Record Date, this would have amounted to approximately $10.60 per less any owed but unpaid taxes on the funds in the Trust Account. There are currently no owed but unpaid income taxes on the funds in the Trust Account. However, the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of PNAC’s creditors, if any, which would have priority over the claims of PNAC stockholders. Therefore, the per share distribution from the Trust Account in such a situation may be less than originally expected due to such claims. It is expected that the funds to be distributed to PNAC stockholders electing to redeem their shares shall be distributed promptly after the consummation of the Business Combination.

Although we will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest and claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of our public stockholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account including but not limited to fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, our management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a

180

TABLE OF CONTENTS

waiver if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative. Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver.

In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. Our Sponsors have agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.20 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of 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 our indemnity of the underwriters of this offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, then our sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims We have not independently verified whether our sponsors have sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that our Sponsors’ only assets are securities of our company. We have not asked our Sponsors to reserve for such indemnification obligations. Therefore, we cannot assure you that our sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for our initial business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.20 per public share. In such event, we may not be able to complete our initial business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your PNAC Public Shares. None of our officers will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. The pro rata portion of our Trust Account distributed to our public stockholders upon the redemption of our PNAC Public Shares in the event we do not complete our business combination by the Final Redemption Date may be considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law. If the corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution.

Furthermore, if the pro rata portion of our Trust Account distributed to our public stockholders upon the redemption of our PNAC Public Shares in the event we do not complete our Business Combination within the Combination Period, is not considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law and such redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful, then pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, the statute of limitations for claims of creditors could then be six years after the unlawful redemption distribution, instead of three years, as in the case of a liquidating distribution. If we are unable to complete our business combination by the Final Redemption Date, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the PNAC Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes or for working capital purposes (less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding PNAC Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of

181

TABLE OF CONTENTS

creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Accordingly, it is our intention to redeem our PNAC Public Shares as soon as reasonably possible following our 18th month and, therefore, we do not intend to comply with those procedures. As such, our stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of our stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of such date.

See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to PNAC and the Business Combination.”

Employees

Members of our management team are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters but they will devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs and intend to continue doing so until we have completed our initial business combination. The amount of time that our officers or any other members of our management team devotes in any time period may vary based on whether a target business has been selected for our initial business combination and the current stage of the business combination process.

Number and Terms of Officers and Directors

Our board consists of five directors. Our board of directors is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual meeting of stockholders) serving a three-year term. The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting of Mr. H David Sherman, the chairman of audit committee, will expire at our first annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting of Ms. Qinyu Wang and Mr. Chris Dunn, the two other independent directors, will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the third class of directors, consisting of Mr. Dongfeng Wang and Mr. David Friedman, our executive directors, will expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders. We may not hold an annual meeting of stockholders until after we consummate our initial business combination. Holders of our PNAC Public Shares will have no right to vote on the election of directors during such time. These provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation may only be amended by the vote of at least 90% of our issued and outstanding common stock entitled to vote thereon. As a result, you will not have any influence over the election of directors prior to our initial business combination.

Our officers are appointed by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Our board of directors is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our bylaws as it deems appropriate. Our bylaws provide that our officers may consist of one or more Chairmen of the Board, one or more Chief Executive Officer, a President, a Chief Financial Officer,

184

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Vice Presidents, Secretary, Treasurer, Assistant Secretary and such other offices as may be determined by the board of directors.

Director Independence

Nasdaq listing standards require that a majority of our board of directors be independent. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our board of directors has determined that Ms. Wang, Mr. Sherman, and Mr. Dunn are “independent directors” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Our audit committee is entirely composed of independent directors meeting Nasdaq’s additional requirements applicable to members of the audit committee. Our independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our board of directors will have two standing committees: an audit committee and a compensation committee. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, the rules of Nasdaq and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors, and the rules of Nasdaq require that the compensation committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors.

Audit Committee

Prior to the consummation of this offering, we have established an audit committee of the board of directors. Ms. Qinyu Wang, Mr. H. David Sherman, and Mr. Chris Dunn serve as members of our audit committee, with Mr. Sherman serving as the Chairman of the audit committee. Under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have at least three members of the audit committee, all of whom must be independent, subject to certain phase-in provisions. Each such person meets the independent director standard under Nasdaq listing standards and under Rule 10-A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act.

Each member of the audit committee is financially literate and our board of directors has determined that Mr. Sherman qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules.

We have adopted an audit committee charter, which details the principal functions of the audit committee, including:

•

the appointment, compensation, retention, replacement, and oversight of the work of the independent auditors and any other independent registered public accounting firm engaged by us;

•

pre-approving all audit and permitted non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors or any other registered public accounting firm engaged by us, and establishing pre-approval policies and procedures;

•

reviewing and discussing with the independent auditors all relationships the auditors have with us in order to evaluate their continued independence;

•

setting clear hiring policies for employees or former employees of the independent auditors;

•

setting clear policies for audit partner rotation in compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

•

obtaining and reviewing a report, at least annually, from the independent auditors describing (i) the independent auditor’s internal quality-control procedures and (ii) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the audit firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities within the preceding five years respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm and any steps taken to deal with such issues;

•

reviewing and approving any related party transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC prior to us entering into such transaction; and

185

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

reviewing with management, the independent auditors, and our legal advisors, as appropriate, any legal, regulatory or compliance matters, including any correspondence with regulators or government agencies and any employee complaints or published reports that raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies and any significant changes in accounting standards or rules promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC or other regulatory authorities.

Compensation Committee

Prior to the consummation of this offering, we have established a compensation committee of the board of directors. Ms. Qinyu Wang, Mr. H. David Sherman, and Mr. Chris Dunn serve as members of our compensation committee, with Ms. Qinyu Wang serving as the chairwoman of the compensation committee. Under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have at least two members of the compensation committee, all of whom must be independent, subject to certain phase-in provisions. Each such person meets the independent director standard under Nasdaq listing standards applicable to members of the compensation committee.

We have adopted a compensation committee charter, which details the principal functions of the compensation committee, including:

•

reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation;

•

reviewing and approving on an annual basis the compensation of all of our other officers;

•

reviewing on an annual basis our executive compensation policies and plans;

•

implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;

•

assisting management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;

•

approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our officers and employees;

•

if required, producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and

•

reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as indicated above, other than reimbursement of expenses, no compensation of any kind, including finders, consulting or other similar fees, will be paid to any of our existing stockholders, officers, directors or any of their respective affiliates, prior to, or for any services they render in order to complete the consummation of a business combination although we may consider cash or other compensation to officers or advisors we may hire subsequent to this offering to be paid either prior to or in connection with our initial business combination. Accordingly, it is likely that prior to the consummation of an initial business combination, the compensation committee will only be responsible for the review and recommendation of any compensation arrangements to be entered into in connection with such initial business combination.

The charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC.

Director Nominations

We do not have a standing nominating committee. In accordance with Rule 5605(e)(2) of the Nasdaq Rules, a majority of the independent directors may recommend a director nominee for selection by the

186

TABLE OF CONTENTS

board of directors. The board of directors believes that the independent directors can satisfactorily carry out the responsibility of properly selecting or approving director nominees without the formation of a standing nominating committee. As there is no standing nominating committee, we do not have a nominating committee charter in place.

The board of directors will also consider director candidates recommended for nomination by our stockholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for election at the next annual meeting of stockholders (or, if applicable, a special meeting of stockholders). Our stockholders that wish to nominate a director for election to our board of directors should follow the procedures set forth in our bylaws.

We have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, our board of directors considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of our stockholders.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of our officers currently serves, and in the past year have not served, as a member of the compensation committee of any entity that has one or more officers serving on our board of directors.

Code of Ethics

Prior to the consummation of this offering, we have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees. You will be able to review these documents by accessing our public filings at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, a copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided without charge upon request from us. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics in a Current Report on Form 8-K. See the section of this prospectus entitled “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

Conflicts of Interest

Although we do not believe any conflict currently exists between us and our Sponsors, directors and officers (the “founders”), affiliates of our founders may compete with us for acquisition opportunities. If such entities decide to pursue an opportunity, we may be precluded from procuring such opportunity. In addition, investment ideas generated within our founders may be suitable for both of us and for an affiliate of founders and may be directed to such entity rather than to us. Neither our founders nor members of our management team who are also employed by or affiliated with our founders will have any obligation to present us with any opportunity for a potential business combination of which they become aware, unless presented to such member specifically in his or her capacity as an officer or director of the company. Our founders and/or our management team, in their capacities as employees or affiliates of our founders or in their other endeavors, may be required to present potential business combinations to future founders’ affiliates or third parties, before they present such opportunities to us.

Each of our officers and directors presently has, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present business combination opportunities to such entity. Accordingly, in the future, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such opportunity to such entity. We do not believe, however, that any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of our officers arising in the future would materially undermine our ability to complete our business combination. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation contain provisions waiving the corporate opportunities doctrine on an ongoing basis, providing that we renounce any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for us, our Sponsors and their affiliates, about which a director of PNAC and/or officer of PNAC who is director, officer or member of the Sponsors or their affiliate acquires knowledge. We are not aware of any such corporate opportunities not

187

TABLE OF CONTENTS

being offered to us and does not believe that waiver of the corporate opportunities doctrine has created any conflicts of interest, has affected our search for an acquisition target, or will materially affect our ability to complete a Business Combination.

Our officer or director may become an officer or director of any other special purpose acquisition company with a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, even before we enter into a definitive agreement regarding our initial Business Combination or we have failed to complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.

When considering the PNAC Board’s recommendation to vote in favor of approving the Business Combination Proposal and the Governing Documents Proposal, PNAC stockholders should keep in mind that the Sponsors and PNAC’s directors and executive officers, have interests in such proposals that are different from, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), those of PNAC stockholders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

•

Stock on the Record Date, resulting in a theoretical gain of $3,610,575.8 (or $8.07 per share). Additionally, Mr. Cheong has a pre-exisitng business relationship with 3DOM Alliance in BINEX RTO, as a result of which, he was introduced to the opportunity to consummate the Business Combination with noco-noco. Mr. Cheong is not entitled to additional compensation or economic interests from PNAC or noco-noco for such introduction or for the completion of the Business Combination, see “Background of the Business Combination — Timeline of the Business Combination on page 127 for more details;

•

189

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Stockholders would lose their entire investment. As a result, the PNAC Initial Stockholders may have a conflict of interest in determining whether noco-noco is an appropriate business with which to effectuate a business combination and/or in evaluating the terms of the Business Combination;

•

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that our officers and directors will be indemnified by us to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law, as it now exists or may in the future be amended. In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages to us or our stockholders for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors, unless they violated their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized unlawful payments of dividends, unlawful stock purchases or unlawful redemptions, or derived an improper personal benefit from their actions as directors.

We have entered into agreements with our officers and directors to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Our bylaws also will permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director or employee for any

190

TABLE OF CONTENTS

liability arising out of his or her actions, regardless of whether Delaware law would permit such indemnification. We have purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.

These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

We believe that these provisions, the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.

Legal Proceedings

Except as set forth below, to the knowledge of our management team, there is no material litigation, arbitration or governmental proceeding currently pending or contemplated against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such, or against any of our property.

On March 16, 2023, the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“HKEX”) announced a disciplinary action (the “Action”) against Dongfeng Wang, PNAI’s Chairman and CEO, and Luyi Li, an individual not affiliated or related to us or any of our directors or officers. In connection with Mr. Wang’s service as Chairman and Executive Director of Forgame Holdings Limited (“Forgame”) between January 2017 to September 2019, the Listing Committee of HKEX found that, inter alia, Mr. Wang, along with Ms. Li, who served in various roles as Executive Director, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairwoman between April 2019 to December 2019, failed to exercise his reasonable skill, care and diligence to safeguard Forgame’s interest in breach of HKEX Listing Rule 3.08, in connection with their oversight and approval of certain corporate loan transactions for Forgame’s certain internet micro-credit businesses between January 2017 to September 2019. In connection with the Action, Mr. Wang was required to participate in 15 hours of trainings on regulatory and legal topics and HKEX Listing Rule compliance by the end of this year. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Mr. Wang is in the process of completing the requisite trainings.

Properties

Our executive office is located at c/o 1129 Northern Blvd., Suite 404, Manhasset, New York, 11030 and our telephone number is +1 (347) 329-1575. Starting the effectiveness of the PNAC IPO, we have agreed to pay Sponsor A a monthly fee of an aggregate of $10,000 for office space, administrative and shared personnel support services. This arrangement will terminate upon the earlier of (a) completion of a Business Combination or (b) twelve months after the completion of the IPO on May 17, 2024. We consider our current office space, combined with the other office space otherwise available to our executive officers, adequate for our current operations.

Competition

In identifying, evaluating and selecting a target business for the Business Combination, we encountered intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours, including other blank check companies, private equity groups and leveraged buyout funds, and operating businesses seeking strategic acquisitions. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Moreover, many of these competitors possess greater financial, technical, human and other resources than us. Our ability to acquire larger target businesses is limited by our available financial resources. This inherent limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of a target business. Furthermore, our obligation to pay cash in connection with our public shareholders who exercise their redemption rights may reduce the resources available to us for the Business Combination.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Periodic Reporting and Financial Information

PNAC Class A Common Stock are registered under the Exchange Act, and we have reporting obligations, including the requirement that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC. In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, our annual reports will contain financial statements audited and reported on by our independent registered public accounting firm.

We will be required to evaluate our internal control procedures for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Only in the event we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer and no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, will we be required to have our internal control procedures audited. A target company may not be in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding adequacy of their internal controls. The development of the internal controls of any such entity to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may increase the time and costs necessary to complete any such acquisition.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors do find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also 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 words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th, and (ii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” shall have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION OF PNAC

The following discussion and analysis of PNAC’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with PNAC’s audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes to those statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition to historical consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. PNAC’s actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those factors set forth in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements”, which you should review for a discussion of some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis and elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Overview

Prime Number Acquisition I Corp. (“we”, “the Company” or “PNAC”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on February 25, 2021 formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (collective, our “initial business combination”).

We expect to continue to incur significant costs towards the Closing of the Business Combination (defined below). We cannot assure you that our plans to complete the Business Combination will be successful.

On May 17, 2022, we consummated the initial public offering (the “PNAC IPO”) of 6,450,000 units, each consisting of one PNAC Class A Common Stock, one-half of one PNAC Warrant, and one PNAC Right. Simultaneously with the closing of the PNAC IPO, we consummated the private placement (the “Private Placement”) of 398,892 PNAC Private Shares. Following the closings of the PNAC IPO and the Private Placement on May 17, 2022, a total of $65,790,000 (or $10.20 per share) was placed in the Trust Account.

On June 30, 2022, we announced that holders of PNAC Units may elect to separately trade PNAC Class A Common Stock, PNAC Warrants and PNAC Rights included in the PNAC Units, commencing on or about July 6, 2022.

The PNAC Class A Common Stock, PNAC Warrants and PNAC Rights are traded on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbols “PNAC”, “PNACW”, and “PNACR” respectively. PNAC Units not separated are traded on Nasdaq under the symbol “PNACU”.

Recent Development

Entry into Business Combination Agreement

On December 29, 2022, we, Prime Number Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation established for the purpose to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of a newly incorporated exempted Cayman Islands company (“PubCo”) prior to the Business Combination (as defined below), NOCO-NOCO PTE. LTD. (“noco-noco”) and certain shareholders of noco-noco collectively holding a controlling interest (together with other shareholders of noco-noco subsequently joining the transactions, the “Sellers”) entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the definitions assigned to such terms in the Business Combination Agreement.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, among other things, in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the “DGCL”), Merger Sub will merge with and into PNAC (the “Merger”), with PNAC surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo. The Merger will become effective at such time on the date of the closing of the Merger (the “Merger Closing”) as the certificate of merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such other time specified in the certificates of merger (the “Merger Effective Time”). In addition, a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo to be incorporated in Singapore (“New SubCo”) shall acquire the issued and

outstanding shares of noco-noco from the Sellers; in exchange, PubCo shall issue to the shareholders of noco-noco the shares of PubCo (the “Share Exchange”, and together with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”), with noco-noco becoming a subsidiary of New SubCo. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, PNAC will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo and noco-noco will be a subsidiary of PubCo with PubCo indirectly holding all or controlling equity interest in noco-noco, and the stockholders of PNAC and the Sellers would receive shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of PubCo (“PubCo Ordinary Shares”) as consideration and become the shareholders of PubCo. Following the Merger Effective Time, PubCo will change its name to “noco-noco Inc.” PubCo and New SubCo joined as parties to the Business Combination Agreement on February 2, 2023 by executing and delivering signatures to the Business Combination Agreement pursuant to Sections 13.18 and 13.19 of the Business Combination Agreement.

We currently have until August 17, 2023 to consummate our Business Combination. However, if we anticipate that we may not be able to consummate our Business Combination by August 17, 2023, we may, but are not obligated to, extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination for up to four times by an additional one-month period each time and may have until November 17, 2023 to consummate our Business Combination.

Agreements with Advisors

On October 25, 2022, we engaged Prime Number Capital LLC (“PNCPS”) and WestPark Capital, LLC (“WestPark”), the representatives of the underwriters for our IPO, to act as the financial advisors to us in connection with our initial business combination. Pursuant to their engagement letter, PNCPS and WestPark have agreed, if requested by and in consultation with us, among others, to assist us in the transaction structuring and negotiation of a definitive purchase agreement with respect to an initial business combination, hold meetings with our stockholders to discussion an initial business combination and the target’s attributes, introduce us to potential investors in connection with an initial business combination, assist us with relevant financial analysis, presentations, and press releases.

The Company made the payment of annual listing fee of $70,000 in full on April 24, 2023. On April 25, 2023, the Staff notified the Company via a second letter that the matter is closed. The Company expects its common stock will continue to be listed and trading on Nasdaq.

Issuance of Working Capital Note

On April 23, 2023, DBG Global Limited, a member of Sponsor A, agreed to loan the Company up to $24,000 to be used for a portion of the working capital. This loan is non-interest bearing, unsecured and is due at the earlier of (1) the date on which the Company consummates its initial business combination or (2) the date on which the Company liquidates. As of March 31, 2023, a total of $24,000 was drawn by the Company and no balance has been repaid as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Special Stockholder Meeting and First Extension

Under our then effective amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter”), we would have until May 17, 2023 to complete an initial business combination, which may be extended up to two times by an additional three-month period each time until November 17, 2023. On May 15, 2023, we held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the stockholders of the Company approved the proposal to amend our Charter to (i) allow the Company until May 17, 2023 to consummate an initial business combination, and to (ii) elect to extend the period to consummate an initial business combination up to six times, each by an additional one-month period, for a total of up to six months to November 17, 2023 (“Extended Termination Date”), by depositing to the Company’s Trust Account the amount lesser of (i) $125,000 for each one-month extension or (ii) $0.045 for each Public Share for each one-month extension (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”). Upon the stockholders’ approval, on May 17, 2023, we filed a certificate of amendment to the Charter which became effective upon filing on the same date, pursuant to which, we may elect to extend the period to consummate an initial business combination up to six times, each by an additional one-month period (each, a “Monthly Extension”), for a total of up to six months to November 17, 2023, by depositing to the Trust Account $125,000 for each one-month extension.

In connection with the votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, 1,537,701 Public Shares of the Company were redeemed and cancelled resulting in a total of 4,912,299 Public Shares, or 6,923,691 Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Noco-noco Notes

In connection with the Monthly Extension Payments, the Company issued three unsecured promissory notes, each in the amount of $125,000 (the “noco-noco Notes”) to noco-noco. The noco-noco Notes are non-interest bearing and payable (subject to the waiver against trust provisions) on the earlier of (i) consummation of the Company’s initial business combination and (ii) the date of the liquidation of the Company. The principal balance may be prepaid at any time, at the election of the Company. The holder of the noco-noco Notes has the right, but not the obligation, to convert the noco-noco Notes, in whole or in part, respectively, into private placement shares (the “Working Capital Shares”) of the Company, by providing the Company with written notice of its intention to convert the noco-noco Notes at least two business days prior to the closing of the Company’s initial business combination. The number of Working Capital Shares to be received by the holder in connection with such conversion shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to the holder, by (y) $10.00.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date except the preparation and completion of the IPO and search for target candidate following the consummation of the

195

TABLE OF CONTENTS

IPO. Our only activities from inception through March 31, 2023 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the IPO, described below. We do not expect to generate any operating revenue until after the completion of our initial business combination. We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held after the IPO. We expect that we will 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 in connection with searching for, and completing, an initial business combination.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had a net income of $230,529, which consisted of general and administrative expenses of $324,659, franchise tax of $16,600, income tax of $140,023, and deferred income tax of $1,429, offset by unrealized gain on investments held in the Trust Account of $42,081, and interest earned on the investments held in the Trust Account of $671,159. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had a net loss of $9,952, all of which consisted of formation and operating costs.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, we had a net income of $141,931, which consisted of general and administrative expenses of $588,973, franchise tax of $47,980, income tax of $112,446 and deferred income taxes provision of $37,190, offset by unrealized gain on investments held in Trust Account of $215,965, and interest earned on the investments held in the Trust Account of $712,555. For the period from February 25, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, we had a net loss of $1,357, all of which consisted of formation and operating costs.

Liquidity and Going Concern

On May 17, 2022, we consummated the IPO of 6,450,000 Public Units at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $64,500,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we consummated the Private Placement of 398,892 shares (including 349,032 shares to sponsor A, and 49,860 shares to sponsor B) at a price of $10.00 per share generating gross proceeds of $3,988,920. Following the closings of the IPO and the Private Placement on May 17, 2022, a total of $65,790,000 (or $10.20 per share) was placed in the Trust Account.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had cash of $99,790 and a working capital deficit of $54,837 (excluding investments held in trust account, deferred underwriting fee payable, deferred income tax liability and taxes payable). The Company’s liquidity needs up to the closing of the IPO on May 17, 2022 had been satisfied through proceeds from notes payable and advances from related party and from the issuance of common stock.

As of March 31, 2023, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $67,431,759 consisting of securities held in money market funds that invests in United States government treasury bills, bonds or notes with a maturity of 185 days or less. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. Through March 31, 2023, we did not withdraw any interest earned on the Trust Account to pay our taxes. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, to acquire a target business and to pay our expenses relating thereto. To the extent that our capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect an initial business combination, the remaining funds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations, for strategic acquisitions and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders’ fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our initial business combination if the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such expenses.

We have until August 17, 2023 to consummate an initial business combination (or until November 17, 2023, if extended). It is uncertain that we will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If an initial business combination is not consummated by this date or, if extended, by the Extended Termination Date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution.

obligated to, provide the Company with working capital. The Company’s management plans to continue its efforts to complete an initial business combination within the Combination Period after the closing of the IPO.

If the estimated costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to its initial business combination. Moreover, the Company may need to obtain additional financing either to complete its initial business combination or because it becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of public shares upon consummation of its initial business combination, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such initial business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Company would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our initial business combination.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern,” management has determined that mandatory liquidation, should an initial business combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance of the financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities that would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2023. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

As of March 31, 2023, we do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.

On October 25, 2022, we engaged PNCPS and WestPark, the representatives of the underwriters for our IPO, to act as the financial advisors to us in connection with its initial business combination. Pursuant to their engagement letter, PNCPS and WestPark have agreed, if requested by and in consultation with us, among others, to assist us in the transaction structing and negotiation of a definitive purchase agreement with respect to a business combination, hold meetings with us stockholders to discussion business combination and the target’s attributes, introduce us to potential investors in connection with a business combination, assist us with relevant financial analysis, presentations, press releases. PNCPS and Westpark will not receive any additional compensation for services rendered under this engagement except the deferred underwriting fee in the amount of $2,257,500 as provided in a certain underwriting agreement dated May 12, 2022 among us, PNCPS and Westpark. We also agree to reimburse PNCPS and WestPark up to $20,000 for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the performance of their services thereunder.

On October 25, 2022, we and PNCPS entered into a separate engagement whereby PNCPS would, among others, use its reasonable efforts in identifying and introducing potential targets, valuate potential business combination and assess the proposed structure for business combination and assist in managing the process and other related services. In exchange for its services, we have agreed to pay or cause the surviving entity to pay a service fee equal to 0.5% of the total value of all cash, securities, or other property paid or transferred at the closing by or to us, the target and/or their shareholders with respect to a business combination. On January 31, 2023, we and PNCPS amended the original engagement to set forth PNCPS’s compensation thereunder in connection with the Business Combination, which includes $500,000 in cash and 609,756 newly issued PubCo Ordinary Shares, payable at the Closing. We also agree to reimburse PNCPS up to $5,000 for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in rendering their services.

197

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Pursuant to these arrangements, we are obligated to pay the Representatives the deferred underwriting compensation equal to 3.5% of the IPO Proceeds. The deferred underwriting compensation will become payable to the Representatives from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete an initial business combination. In addition, in connection with and upon the closing of the Business Combination, we will pay or cause the surviving entity of the Business Combination to pay PNCPS $500,000 in cash and issue 609,756 in new PubCo Ordinary Shares.

The holders of the founder shares, the Private Placement Shares, and any common stock that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and any underlying securities) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement entered into in connection with the IPO. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our completion of our initial business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The interim financial information provided is unaudited, but includes all adjustments which management considers necessary for the fair presentation of the results for these periods. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 340-10-S99-1, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs — SEC Materials” (“ASC 340-10-S99”) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consisting principally of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses that are directly related to the IPO and charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO.

Warrants

We account for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, whether they meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock 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 quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of equity at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as liabilities 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. We determined that upon further review of the proposed form of warrant agreement, management

198

TABLE OF CONTENTS

concluded that the warrants included in the units issued in the IPO pursuant to the warrant agreement qualify for equity accounting treatment.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock 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, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The PNAC Public Shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2022, shares of Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value of $10.34 per share as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our balance sheet. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital or accumulated deficit if additional paid in capital equals to zero.

Net Income (Loss) per Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the redeemable common stock and non-redeemable common stock and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net loss less any dividends paid. The Company then allocated the undistributed income (loss) ratably based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable common stock. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the common stock subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public stockholders.

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 the Company and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. 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 statement.

Global Carbon-Free Leasing Market

Overview of Lithium-ion Battery

Lithium-ion battery is a type of a rechargeable battery achieving its charging and discharging process through the move back and forth of lithium-ion in electrolyte between the cathode and anode. Based on applications, lithium-ion batteries mainly include EV battery and ESS battery. In 2021, the total demand for EV battery accounted for the largest segment among types of lithium-ion batteries, with the global installed capacity of EV battery being 293.7GWh. With increasing consumer acceptance of EVs and additional regulatory support for EV sales, the global EV battery installed capacity is expected to reach 1,898.1GWh by 2026, with a projected CAGR of 39.6% between 2022 and 2026. On the other hand, the newly installed capacity of global ESS battery was 53.5GWh in 2021. Similar to EV battery, the demand for ESS battery is also expected to increase exponentially in the coming years. The newly installed capacity of ESS battery is expected to reach 682.6GWh in 2026, with an estimated CAGR of 58.5% between 2022 and 2026.

The main components of a lithium-ion battery include cathode, anode, separator, and other materials. The separator, as an essential component of lithium-ion batteries, prevents electrical short-circuits and provides a pathway for lithium ions to move between the cathode and anode. Advanced separators can provide lithium-ion batteries with competitive advantages such as higher energy density as compared to LFP (lithium iron phosphate) batteries, and longer battery lifespan. With higher energy density, LMFP (lithium manganese iron phosphate) batteries allow car manufacturers to install smaller volume/weight batteries per vehicle to meet the range requirements. Meanwhile, with longer battery lifespan, LMFP batteries can be reused for secondary purposes. For example, EV batteries can be redeployed and installed in ESS systems, which have lower requirements on battery capacities and performances. Both factors contribute to the reduction of global carbon emission.

Overview of Carbon-free Leasing Programs

Carbon-free leasing is a type of leasing program in which the lessee, the person or organization, rent instead of purchase lithium-ion battery to reduce the carbon emission. Carbon-free leasing mainly consists of carbon-free EV leasing, carbon-free EV battery leasing and carbon-free ESS battery leasing programs.

Carbon-free EV leasing program: Carbon-free EV leasing programs are a smart and efficient way for commercial fleet management companies and individual customers to stay ahead of the curve and support their bottom line while contributing to a greener future. With the integration of IoT (internet of things) technology, customers will have access to real-time data and insights about their vehicle’s performance, usage patterns, and charging status. This information can be used to optimize the driving experience, reduce operational costs, and enhance overall vehicle efficiency. In addition, companies and individuals can save on upfront costs and maintenance expenses, as well as benefit from tax incentives and reduced fuel costs by leasing EVs. Furthermore, the use of EVs can help enhance corporate image and promote sustainability of business operations, leading to increasing brand loyalty and customer satisfaction.

Carbon-free EV battery leasing program: There are numerous benefits to the carbon-free EV battery leasing program. The program allows companies or individuals to purchase EVs without having to make large upfront investments in the battery. It also allows the lessor to manage the battery and provide regular maintenance, which can increase the overall lifespan of the battery. Similar to IoT-embedded EVs, with the installation of IoT-enabled battery management systems, lessees such as fleet management companies and individual customers are able to visualize and control battery performance and usage, ultimately provide better user experiences. Meanwhile, the program benefits the society by making the EV more accessible for many people by reducing the total cost of ownership, ultimately increase EV ownerships and reduce carbon emissions.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Carbon-free ESS battery leasing program: Carbon-free ESS battery leasing program is a program in which the lessee pays for the rental fee of lithium-ion batteries installed in the energy storage system. The carbon-free ESS battery leasing program helps to extend the life of these batteries and reduces the amount of electronic waste generated, providing a sustainable solution for the disposal of used batteries. The program also helps to reduce carbon emissions in the production of additional ESS batteries and provides a clean energy storage solution for the grid. Overall, the Carbon-free ESS battery leasing program provides numerous benefits for both customers and society, making it a smart and sustainable solution for energy storage.

Industry Value Chain Analysis

The carbon-free leasing industry is composed of several key participants, including battery manufacturers, system integrators, battery charging and swapping solution providers, battery leasing and recycling companies, EV manufacturers, fleet management companies, as well as ESS producers and operators. Battery manufacturers produce the batteries using raw materials such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel. While, ESS integrators create complete ESS for use in EVs and renewable energy stations.

Customers in the carbon-free leasing industry, which may include EV manufacturers, fleet management companies, battery charging and swapping solution providers, and renewable energy station operators, rely on carbon-free leasing companies to provide them with batteries or EVs, allowing them to avoid the expenses on R&D and allow them to focus on their core operations.

Carbon-free leasing and recycling companies act as intermediaries and initiators between EV manufacturers, ESS integrators, and customers by offering a comprehensive solution. On the leasing side, carbon-free leasing and recycling companies cater to various customer needs, including the leasing of EVs, EV batteries, and ESS batteries as well as the maintenance and monitoring of the batteries, vehicles, and ESSs using IoT technology. The ability to provide various services allow carbon-free leasing and recycling companies to better serve its customers by optimize the customer experience, reduce operational costs, and improve overall efficiency. On the recycling side, the companies are accountable for ensuring appropriate recycling of the batteries at the end of their life cycle, which contributes to a dependable and sustainable supply of EVs, ESSs, and batteries, thus reduces the environmental impact by lowering the demand for raw materials.

Market Size of Global Carbon-free Leasing Industry

The EV battery can be classified into two categories based on the number of wheels where it is installed: electric two-wheeler (E2W) battery and electric four-wheeler (E4W) battery. Due to disruptions in worldwide supply chains, the cost of lithium-ion batteries has increased, causing a slight decline in the global E2W market size by sales volume in 2022. However, as the global supply chain stabilizes, the market size is expected to grow from 21.7 million units in 2021 to 52.9 million units in 2026, with a CAGR of 19.6%.

With the rising cost of research and development expenses for battery technology due to intense competition, more E2W manufacturers will opt to source their in-vehicle lithium-ion batteries from external battery leasing companies.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

overall risks of energy storage projects, thus accelerating the shift towards zero-emission targets. Looking forward, driven by the further penetration of ESS and promotion of cascade use of lithium-ion batteries, the market of carbon-free leasing services is anticipated to grow rapidly in the world.

Battery Recycling Brings Additional Source of Revenue to Carbon-free Leasing Companies

Carbon-free battery leasing companies are looking to recycle used batteries to prolong the lifespan of lithium-ion batteries, reduce the environmental impact of battery production and disposal, while also providing a new source of revenue. Through cascade use and battery recycling, the utilization rate of lithium-ion batteries can be significantly increased. When the lithium-ion batteries cannot meet the power demand of EVs after extensive usage, the removed lithium-ion batteries can be reused in ESS. The battery cost is the main component of the initial cost of an ESS. Therefore, reducing the costs of energy storage batteries will be the key to promote the application of ESS, and the cascade use of EV batteries is expected to be an important approach. Looking forward, ESS users will gradually take the used EV batteries as an important source of energy storage batteries.

Meanwhile, the continuous upgrades and innovations of lithium-ion battery technologies will further stimulate the cascade use and recycling of lithium-ion batteries. Some leading carbon-free battery leasing companies master the advanced battery technologies and can provide carbon-free batteries with longer lifespan, higher energy density and better heat resistance. Such superior battery performance enables cascade use and battery recycling as it maximizes the battery utilization, which will bring additional source of revenue and broaden the application scenarios of carbon-free batteries.

Global Carbon Credit Trading Market

Overview of Carbon Credit Trading

Carbon credit trading is the buying and selling of the right referring as the carbon credit for a company or entity to emit a certain amount of carbon dioxide which is hard to eliminate. If a company goes beyond the defined limits of carbon emission regulated by the governments, it has to purchase credits to meet the emission requirements. The carbon credits are mainly generated from environmental protection projects that identify carbon credit generating from crops and trees and implement best management practices to generate credits. For instance, planting trees for forestry is currently the main carbon sink used in Australia. Environmental protection projects involving planting trees to establish new and permanent forest cover can earn carbon credits for carbon dioxide equivalent stored in the project trees as they grow, which can be traded in the carbon marketplaces.

204

TABLE OF CONTENTS

According to the purpose of the transaction, the carbon credit trading market can be classified in compliance and voluntary carbon credit trading markets. Compliance carbon credit trading market is created as a result of national or regional regulatory requirement. Voluntary carbon credit trading markets refer to the issuance, buying and selling of carbon credits on a voluntary basis.

Industry Value Chain Analysis

The upstream of the carbon credit trading market mainly comprises carbon credit providers such as environmental protection project developers, carbon credit contract landowners and governments who set up the projects developing and issuing carbon credits. The midstream of the carbon credit trading market are carbon credit transactors including brokers and traders who purchase large amounts of credits directly from the suppliers, bundle those credits into portfolios and sell to the end buyers with a certain commission. The downstream of the carbon credit trading market are primarily the greenhouse emitters including electricity, gas and other utility companies who need carbon credits to meet regulatory emission requirements.

Market Size of Global Carbon Credit Trading Industry

The carbon credit trading is a cost-effective solution to mitigate or reduce climate change and global warming, which also creates financial incentives for countries and companies to develop emission-reducing technologies to help reduce carbon levels in the atmosphere. Driven by the strict carbon emission regulation and policies issued by the governments in the world to realize the goal of carbon neutrality, the demand of carbon credit has increased significantly. It is expected that the market size of carbon credit trading industry by transaction amount will surge from $851.0 billion in 2021 to $6,730.1 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 51.2%.

Market Drivers and Trends of Global Carbon Credit Trading Industry

Government Regulation Boosting Globalization of Carbon Credit Trading

Regarding to the stricter government regulations on carbon market, more countries are suffering from surging carbon credit unit prices due to the local limitation of decarbonization measures, renewable energy deployment, land availability and other related regional restrictions. For example, Australia has applied the ACCUs to meet with the goal of reducing Australia’s net greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050 in the “Climate Change Bill 2022.” As one ACCU represents one ton of carbon dioxide equivalent greenhouse gas that is not released into the atmosphere, individual and corporations have high demand on ACCUs to offset remaining carbon emissions, thus soaring the ACCU prices to a new record by increasing over 200% in 2021. Owing to the “Article 6 of the Paris Agreement” which allows countries to voluntarily cooperate with each other to achieve emission reduction targets set out in their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), those countries are able to purchase carbon credits from other countries to offset the remaining carbon emissions of their own in order to achieve the national climate target, thus activating the carbon credit trading globalization. As a market surging in demand, Australia has launched the “Indo-Pacific Carbon

205

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Offsets Scheme” to help neighbor countries like pacific island countries Fiji and Papua New Guinea generate credits for a fast-growing Australian carbon market. Another country engaging in the globalization of carbon credit trading in APAC area is Singapore. The Singapore government is actively promoting bilateral carbon market cooperation agreements with other countries to build a bilateral government framework for the cross-border transfer of carbon emissions. So far, Singapore has signed carbon market cooperation memoranda with Vietnam, Colombia, Morocco, Peru, Papua New Guinea and other countries. Therefore, with the implementation of relevant government regulations into actual carbon credit trading operation, it will help to promote more countries to establish carbon credit trading markets with countries like Australia and Singapore, boosting the associated market development.

Increasing Demand for Carbon Offsetting

Carbon credit market participants can generally be divided into two groups: compliance participants, who are governed by carbon emission policies, and voluntary participants, including private companies, individuals, governments, and NGOs who choose to offset their carbon emissions. Government policies and regulations play an important role in the implementation of carbon offsets, while voluntary participation reflects a growing social consciousness. The number of voluntary carbon participants has greatly increased due to the increasing focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investments. More businesses are establishing their own carbon reduction initiatives for more sustainable and environmentally friendly operations. However, these firms may struggle to find ways to offset their carbon emissions and achieve their ESG goals. Meanwhile, carbon abatement solution providers serve as a bridge between these companies and transferable carbon credit CO2 sequestrators, offering carbon emitting companies with a temporary legal alternative while increase revenue for CO2 sequestrators. As a result, carbon credit trading industry has thrived in recent years with growing demand for carbon offsetting.

Entry Barriers of Global Carbon Credit Trading Industry

Capital Investment Barrier

As an important medium for carbon trading markets to operate in accordance with standards and systems, high initial investment is an important pillar for carbon trading companies requiring long-term sustainability. Carbon credit trading companies with sufficient capital strength to generate carbon credits through a significant initial capital investment to build the necessary infrastructure and comply with regulations. However, new entrants with insufficient capital will face considerable resistance when entering the market, thus forming the high initial investment barrier.

Market Volatility Barrier

The price of carbon credits is a significant market indicator, which can be highly volatile and difficult to predict, thus make it challenging for companies to plan and budget for their participation in the carbon trading market. The dominant players in the industry are able to form partnerships with related companies both up and down the industry chain to hedge price fluctuations. New market entrants lack comparable capabilities and thus are less competitive.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Tremendous market potentials for lithium-ion batteries

Globally, there is an accelerating transition of transportation from internal combustion engine vehicles, or ICE vehicles, to BEVs, driving demand for clean, highly reliable and long-life batteries and BEVs incorporating such batteries. The growing BEV market in Asia Pacific is one of the major factors that is contributing to the surging demand for lithium-ion batteries. Asia Pacific as a global manufacturing hub has also contributed to the increased adoption of facilities and equipment that are powered by lithium-ion batteries. Moreover, the region has the largest population in the world, leading to expected high volume sales of consumer electronics, such as mobiles, laptops, and appliance, that utilize lithium-ion batteries. In addition, reliance on fossil-fuel based power generation is decreasing due to the increasing installation of renewable power plants. Lithium-ion batteries are also increasingly utilized for providing backup power supply for commercial buildings, data centers, and institutions.

With increasing consumer acceptance of BEVs and additional regulatory support for BEV sales, the global EV battery installed capacity is expected to reach 1,898.1GWh by 2026, with a projected CAGR of 39.6% between 2022 and 2026, according to Frost & Sullivan. In addition, the newly installed capacity of global ESS battery was 53.5GWh in 2021. Similar to EV battery, the demand for ESS battery is also expected to increase exponentially in the coming years. According to Frost & Sullivan, the newly installed capacity of ESS battery is expected to reach 682.6GWh in 2026, with an estimated CAGR of 58.5% between 2022 and 2026.

The approaching deadlines for carbon emission reduction goal bring opportunities for the carbon credits market

Demand for carbon credits has been rising as the carbon reduction target deadlines are approaching. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (UNIPCC) has set 2030 as the deadline for carbon emissions to be halved, and 2050 as the deadline for nations to achieve zero carbon. Likewise, Australia has set the goal of reducing its net greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050. PNG has set the target of 50% reduction in emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2050. In order to achieve these targets, carbon credits are an essential part of the comprehensive global carbon abatement solution. According to Frost & Sullivan, the market size of carbon credit trading industry by transaction amount will surge from $851.0 billion in 2021 to $6,730.1 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 51.2%

While it is critical to promote the electrification of transportation and the use of clean energies, the relevant policies and measures have been implementing slowly. As a result, programs to limit or prevent carbon emissions have gained much attention worldwide and of certain critical international institutions, such as the United Nations. Meanwhile, as more indicators of global warming have emerged, governments are stepping up to require clean energy regulatory bodies to assess carbon sequestration programs, receive program applications, and issue carbon credits based on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) rules.

For more details of the market opportunities, entry barriers and market size, see “Industry Overview Relating to noco-noco’s Business.”

We anticipate taking advantage of the global transition to clean energy transportation and the global carbon emission reduction goal to enjoy the opportunities brought by these markets with great potential.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe the following competitive strengths have contributed to our maturity and will help drive our growth in the future.

State-of-the-art Technologies Enables Highly Reliable and Longer-lasting Battery Products

We license in a series of state-of-the-art patents and technologies from 3DOM Alliance, our majority shareholder, with respect to, among others, battery cascade use, battery management system, battery cell and pack model, and battery units. For details of our licensing-in arrangement with 3DOM Alliance, see “— Relationship with 3DOM Alliance.” These technologies enable us to produce batteries that, as compared to conventional batteries, are designed to have a longer lifespan and higher reliability, and be more resistant

209

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to high operating temperature and thermal runaways. For example, due to the higher porosity and uniformly spaced 3-dimensional structure of the pores of our separators, ionic conductivity becomes more efficient, thus reducing the formation of dendrites, which are the major source of battery unsafe risks, such as fire, quick deterioration, and poor resilience to high temperatures. Further, with the high porosity, our separators are much more wettable than conventional separators. This enables the use of high-viscosity, low-volatility electrolytes in our batteries, increasing their resistance to fire or degradation from heat and high temperatures. Thus, our batteries can also avoid the rapid deterioration resulting from intense heat conditions, which cause problems to conventional batteries with low-viscosity electrolytes.

In addition, our unique position with 3DOM Alliance as the exclusive licensee of its patents and technologies allows us to take full advantage of the technological advancement that 3DOM Alliance has developed or licensed in through various cooperation and collaboration arrangements with leading universities and professors for our battery products. For example, Professor Kiyoshi Kanamura, a leading Japanese authority in battery research and the chief technology officer of 3DOM Alliance, licensed the exclusive right of his patent “secondary battery separator and lithium secondary battery using the separator” to 3DOM Alliance in October 2011. This critical patent enables 3DOM Alliance to develop, and us to use, manufacture, and lease, our highly-reliable and long-life batteries. 3DOM Alliance also received technical support from a well-known university in Japan for its R&D of highly-reliable and long-life battery separators, supplementing 3DOM Alliance’s R&D capabilities. The cooperation with and support received from leading universities and professors is a recognition of 3DOM Alliance’s R&D capabilities in the battery industry, which enables us to produce highly-reliable and long-life batteries to better serve our clients’ interests.

For more details regarding the technologies that are applied to our battery products, see “— Our Pipeline Products and Services.”

Unique Own-and-Lease Business Model Makes Our Battery Products Cost-effective

We operate a unique own-and-lease business model where we manufacture upon our clients’ requests, through OEMs, our battery products, including batteries, BEVs and ESS, and lease them to our clients, primarily consisting of commercial transportation companies, renewable energy plants and other power plants requiring grid stabilization and backup power in Asia. Traditionally, it would cost tremendous upfront capital expenditure and operation expenses for companies to purchase the battery products. However, under our own-and-lease business model, our clients only need to lease our battery products without having to purchase them, enabling our clients’ operation of BEVs and renewable energy plants more affordable. In addition, due to the advanced technology licensed-in from 3DOM Alliance, our batteries generally have a lifespan doubling that of conventional batteries, which indicates our batteries generally have approximately 30% to 35% lower price per cycle as compared to conventional batteries. Based on an internal evaluation, our X-SEPA battery with a 1C rate was tested over 4,500 cycles, and by applying the square root law to the test results, was found to be able to continue for 6,000 cycles before decreasing to a state of health (“SOH”) of 60%. A similar battery using a conventional separator, however, can last only 2,800 cycles before decreasing to an SOH of 60%. Evaluations in March 2023 produced more impressive results, with the life of our X-SEPA battery achieving 6,400 cycles at a higher SOH of 70%. Recent evaluations in April 2023 showed that our X-SEPA battery equipped with high temperature-resistant electrolyte was found theoretically possible to achieve approximately 9,000 cycles before decreasing to an SOH of 60%. The longer lifespan of our batteries also entitles our batteries to have two useful lives — our batteries can be used in BEVs for e-motorbikes, e-vans, e-buses, and e-trucks in their first life cycle (typically for lease up to eight years), and then in ESS for renewable power plants and other power plants requiring grid stabilization and backup power in their second life cycle (typically for lease up to ten years). This cascade usage model, with the long-term instalment of lease payments, is expected to help us attract clients whose operation is capital intensive.

As high capital expenditure is a major deterrence to the electrification of the transportation industry and also the transformation from fossil fuel power to renewable power, we believe our own-and-lease business model is essential to accelerate the transitioning from ICE vehicles to BEVs and the universal use of ESS to support and optimize renewable power generation.

For more details of our own-and-lease business model, see “— Our Decarbonization Solutions — Own-and-Lease of Battery Products.”

Strategic Cooperation and Partnerships with Market Players

We have entered into a series of MOUs with well-known automakers and OEM partners to establish strategic business partnerships, with the ultimate goal of deploying our batteries in certain of their forthcoming battery powered EVs. For example, we have entered into an MOU with a global, leading automobile manufacturer based in China, to jointly develop commercial BEVs equipped with our batteries; an MOU with EV Dynamics (Holdings) Ltd (“EV Dynamics”) to carry out a carbon-free bus leasing business to EV Dynamics’ existing and new clients; and an LOI with B-ON K.K. (“B-ON”) to employ our battery cells for its 3- and 4-wheeled electric light commercial vehicles. We believe the successful joint development of battery technologies as well as the incorporation of our batteries into well-known automakers’ vehicles will enormously expand our business and operations as well as enhance our brand name.

In addition, we intend to cooperate with an e-waste recycling service provider to collect our used batteries to synergize with our carbon abatement solution business. For more details regarding our strategic partnerships with market players, see “— Partnerships.”

Carbon Abatement and Credit Generation Capability Add Value to Our Leasing Business

We assist our clients, primarily landowners of forests, mangrove, bushland or land of similar kinds, to reduce their carbon emissions or absorb carbon, and earn carbon credits generated from the carbon abatement projects. Specifically, we plan methodologies of reducing and/or removing carbon emissions while creating revenue by operating a general carbon credit account, procuring carbon credits through submission to regulators, and securing subsequent buyers for sales of carbon credits, leveraging our information technology, science and mapping capabilities. We typically form a joint venture or partnership with our clients to carry out the carbon abatement projects. When certain requirements and criteria of carbon emissions are met, our clients can apply for carbon credits from government-introduced regulators. These carbon credits can be sold back to these regulators, or on the secondary market through our network of clients, revenue generated from which is shared according to a pre-agreed ratio between our landowner clients and us. For details of our carbon abatement solutions and carbon credit sales, see “— Our Decarbonization Solutions — Carbon Abatement Solutions and Carbon Credit Sales.”

In addition, leveraging our carbon credits generation capability, we are able to cross-sell the carbon credits generated through our carbon abatement projects to our battery product clients, who are keen to reduce their carbon emissions generated during their operations. As these clients are typically under pressure to decarbonize their business operations, our cross-selling of carbon credits in addition to our leasing business we believe will increase our competitiveness and generate synergies among our product and service offerings. In particular, with our carbon credit generation capability, we are able to provide leasing services and carbon credit sales in a bundle, on the one hand, helping our battery product clients to offset the carbon emissions generated by their operations, and on the other hand, improving our clients’ stickiness and generating additional profits. The synergies between our two business segments earn us both preference by our clients and strategic cooperation opportunities. For example, B-ON entered into an LOI with us, intending to cooperate on commercial car lease with available carbon credits. As zero carbon has become a global goal and international tradability of carbon credits has become available and popular, we believe we are well positioned to potentially reap substantial returns from the synergies and cross-selling between our battery business and carbon credits business.

Our Growth Strategies

To achieve our mission and grow our business, we plan to pursue the following strategies.

Cooperate with Market Players to Customize X-SEPA Separators

We plan to establish a collaboration business model with automakers and battery manufacturers to produce high-tech separators, the “X-SEPA,” leveraging on the new separator technology licensed from 3DOM Alliance. For details regarding the advanced technologies of X-SEPA separators, see “— Our Pipeline Products and Services — X-SEPA Separator.” X-SEPA separators have the unique feature of consisting of multiple layers with different porosity joined together as one. This multi-layer technology is expected to enable production of durable high torque batteries and fast charging batteries, solving the two pressing challenges that other battery manufacturers face today. In addition, as the size and density of pores of the XEPA separator can be pre-calculated and calibrated in the manufacturing process, we are able to customize separators with particular features that satisfy the specific performance characteristics required by our clients. The unique methodology by which “X-SEPA” is manufactured will enable us to produce battery products with particular specifications to cater to our clients’ different and evolving needs. Capitalizing on the advanced X-SEPA separator technology, we plan to (i) partner with automakers and battery manufacturers to improve our productivity to customize battery products to accommodate our clients from a wide array of industries and (ii) spread this advanced technology in the automobile and battery industries to solve the pain points of end users and make us an industry leader.

According to Grand View Research, the Asia market accounted for over 40.0% of the global lithium-ion battery market in 2021, and transportation vehicles in Asia, including 2-, 3- and 4-wheelers, are facing increasing regulatory pressures to decarbonize, there is great market potentials for clean, highly reliable and long-life batteries and BEVs. To seize the market opportunities, we plan to commence our operations in selected countries in Asia, including Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia. We expect to enter into joint ventures with local partners in those selected countries to operate our battery product leasing business, with a view to reducing upfront risk capital and complying with local regulations with the assistance of local partners. For example, we plan to partner with EV Dynamics to lease e-buses incorporating our batteries in the Philippines to gradually replace their popular means of public transportation, Jeepneys, for mass transportation, as a national solution to reduce carbon emissions in the Philippines.

In the future, as our battery business grows, we also plan to expand our business of carbon abatement solutions and carbon credit sales into selected countries in Asia, including Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand, to achieve synergies with our battery business. We are currently actively searching for and talking to local partners in these countries that share similar goals for decarbonization and carbon credit solutions.

Provide Efficient and Affordable BEVs to Commercial Transportation Companies

Currently, there is an accelerating transition from ICE vehicles to BEVs in the transportation sector in the Asia. Therefore, there is a high demand for commercial transportation companies to replace their existing ICE vehicles with BEVs. However, commercial transportation companies require intensive upfront investment and cash flow for their daily operations. In addition, they are under great pressure to reduce their carbon emissions to comply with local regulations. To benefit from this transition and the potential market demand, we plan to lease efficient and affordable BEVs to these commercial transportation companies so that they can transition to clean transportation and achieve their carbon emission reduction goals successfully. Initially, we will target, among others, logistics companies which offer transportation as a service, last-mile e-motorbike/bicycle-sharing companies, as well as companies which operate their in-house transportation system for internal needs. As our licensed-in advanced technology can be used to produce longer-lasting batteries with higher reliability, which will in essence result in cost-effective and durable BEVs, together with our unique own-and-lease business model, we believe we are able to outperform our

212

TABLE OF CONTENTS

competitors to attract a large number of commercial transportation companies. In addition, as the transition to clean transportation foresees a huge market and the deadlines for global zero-carbon goals have been approaching, we expect to capture the huge opportunities in the commercial transportation sector by providing efficient and affordable BEVs to achieve economies of scale.

Our Decarbonization Solutions

Own-and-Lease of Battery Products

We operate a unique own-and-lease business model where we manufacture, upon our clients’ requests, our battery products through OEMs, including batteries, BEVs and ESS, and lease them to our clients, primarily consisting of commercial transportation companies, renewable energy plants and other power plants requiring grid stabilization and backup power in Asia. Traditionally, it would cost tremendous upfront capital expenditure and operation expenses for companies to purchase the battery products. However, under our own-and-lease business model, our clients only need to lease our battery products without having to purchase them, enabling operation of BEVs and renewable energy plants more affordable. Alternatively, our clients are also able to place orders to customize their battery products with specific specifications using the licensed-in X-SEPA separator technology. See “— Our Pipeline Products and Services — X-SEPA Separator.” We expect to generate revenue from our leasing business of battery products since the third quarter of 2023.

Leasing of Batteries and BEVs

We plan to partner with automakers and manufacturers to conduct our leasing business of batteries and BEVs. We plan to cooperate with automakers as OEMs to produce BEV bodies upon orders placed by our clients to satisfy their demand. We also plan to engage battery manufacturers as OEMs for the mass manufacturing of our highly reliable and long-life batteries, which will be applied to our BEVs. Our BEVs are expected to be leased to our clients at a cost-effective rate to attract more clients and achieve our competitiveness among our competitors. These BEVs may include e-buses, e-vans, e-trucks, e-motorbikes, and last-mile delivery vehicles. We expect to focus our operations in the Southeast Asia and South Asia, including Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, India, and Singapore. In addition, we plan to leverage our in-house battery management system (“BMS”) integrated with data process and mesh networking technologies to optimize energy usage of our battery products and to develop intelligent batteries.

Leasing of ESS

We plan to lease our ESS incorporating our highly reliable and long-life batteries to power producers, including renewable energy plants and other power plants requiring grid stabilization and backup power. We also expect to provide key technological solutions to help resolve battery-related issues in our clients’ energy storage process. With our highly reliable and long-life batteries and systems that can monitor battery conditions and allocate batteries for primary or secondary use, we believe our clients will be able to lower the costs of their energy storage solutions. In addition, we plan to explore together with our clients on opportunities to apply our batteries to a broader coverage of energy storage, including developing battery systems for the electrification of commercial vessels, and using battery tankers to transport energy from offshore farms to onshore ones.

Carbon Abatement Solutions and Carbon Credit Sales

We provide our carbon abatement solutions to help our clients reduce their excessive carbon emissions and generate carbon credits. Specifically, we plan methodologies of reducing and/or removing carbon emissions while creating revenue by operating a general carbon credit account, procuring carbon credits through submission to regulators, and securing subsequent buyers for sales of carbon credits, leveraging our information technology, science and mapping capabilities. We typically form a joint venture or a partnership

213

TABLE OF CONTENTS

with our landowner clients to carry out the carbon abatement projects. See “— Our Decarbonization Solutions — Carbon Abatement Solutions and Carbon Credit Sales — Key Terms of Carbon Abatement Project Agreements” for more details regarding the arrangements of our carbon abatement projects.

We undertake extensive geography survey mapping to create an overlay of the potential target areas, and identify existing and new activities in land, vegetation, crops and others to analyze their carbon abatement potentials. By using carbon-based feasibility studies, geo-fencing and land analysis, we map the farming enterprise and calculate the current emissions. For example, we conduct on-ground site measurements combined with satellite mapping to mark the area that can be covered under subsequent applications, and assess the current status of the vegetation and carbon capture and prepare a roadmap for future development of the area to further enhance the carbon absorption potential. Thus, we can project the reduction in emissions based on each modeled, recommended change from the initial farm carbon deficit to increase value for the project by creating new registerable carbon credits. Initial set up costs, including mapping and feasibility study costs, are disbursed by the landowners. Subsequently, we prepare an application for each carbon abatement project with the relevant government regulators, which identifies the specific land and provides extensive mapping data. Upon the submission of the application, the regulators will determine the value of the carbon abatement projects based on the application material and allocate a certain amount of carbon credits based on the mapping, type, volume and lifetime of the land.

Our carbon abatement projects primarily include carbon farming projects, deforestation avoidance projects, and rural afforestation projects. Carbon farming projects use farming in a way that reduces greenhouse gas emissions or captures and holds carbon in vegetation and soils. We provide consultancy and assistance to landowners while working cohesively to set up and commence carbon farming activities to reduce carbon emission and earn carbon credits. For deforestation avoidance projects, we work with landowners to promote agricultural planning and production that avoids tree-clearing, advocating stronger biodiversity to protect rural habitat. In parallel, we campaign for a halt to deforestation across the Asia-Pacific. A reforestation and afforestation project involves planting trees in agricultural areas. In doing so, the project helps to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas entering the atmosphere, as carbon stock remains stored in the trees while they grow.

We also execute for our clients the sales of their carbon credits generated during the process of carbon abatement projects. When certain requirements and criteria of carbon emissions are met, our clients can apply for carbon credits from government-introduced regulators. These criteria include definitive action plans to re-afforest the land tracts, conversion of methane generated from livestock in the farms into an alternative energy sources, and implementing a consisting clearing and pruning of grassland farms to avoid savannah burning from dry grass, to name a few. The carbon credits can be sold back to the regulators, or on the secondary market through our network of clients, revenue generated from which is shared according to a pre-agreed ratio between our landowner clients and us. We sell the carbon credits to companies in need of carbon offsets through our active marketing efforts. We also cross-sell these carbon credits to our battery product clients, in addition to leasing them our battery products.

Our business of carbon abatement solutions and carbon credit sales currently primarily operates in Australia and PNG, and expects to expand into Indonesia, the Philippines, and Fiji in the future. According to the relevant laws and regulations in Australia and PNG, no specific license is required to conduct the business

Australia

In Australia, we offer carbon abatement projects using a variety of agricultural methods that sequester atmospheric carbon in soil, crop vegetation, and biomass. Our solutions include storing carbon in their soils, planting native trees and shrubs, managing stock to allow native forest to regrow, beef herd improvement, and reducing nitrous oxide emissions from irrigated crops. With these carbon-neutral effects, we can assist these landowners to set up ERF projects and apply for ACCUs. The ACCUs can be used by landowners to offset their carbon emissions, are tradable in the secondary markets, and can be sold back to the CER, the authority that administers the ERF which supplies ACCUs.

214

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ERF Projects

We submit for individual carbon project on the ERF government portal for approvals of issuance of an ERF carbon contract or credits. We are entitled to conduct carbon abatement projects on the sites within Australia and PNG and can claim carbon credits for emission abatement achieved by such projects.

Carbon credits are issued upon acceptance of the carbon abatement project by the CER. We are responsible for facilitating the processes of auditable reports, carbon project registrations, carbon abatement contracts and other display information required for the issuance, marketing, auditing, and accounting of carbon credits through the Australian National Registry of Emissions Units for auction or re-sale in the carbon market.

We can sell the carbon credits to third parties via auction or direct sales in the carbon market. We can use the Carbon Market Institute Carbon Marketplace for auction of the carbon credits, or sell the carbon credits directly to third parties through our worldwide network that are under pressure to reduce carbon emission for direct sales. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we had contracted and submitted six carbon abatement projects to the CER, totaling 91,520 million hectares and are estimated to produce around 1.37 million ACCUs.

PNG

The carbon market in PNG operates differently to that of the Australia as a result of minimal regulatory frameworks in place. There are voluntary carbon schemes and governmental schemes in PNG, which are agreements negotiated directly with landowners with little governmental intervention.

Following the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference of Parties in Glasgow (COP 26), Australia, Fiji and PNG have collaborated to generate high-integrity carbon offsets in the Indo-Pacific market by virtue of the Indo-Pacific Carbon Offsets Scheme. See “— Government Regulations.”

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we have contracted to deliver over 30 carbon abatement projects in PNG, totaling 5.3 million hectares and are estimated to produce around 159 million tons PNG carbon credits. In addition, as of the same date, we had successfully submitted 11 of these carbon abatement projects, totaling 4.3 million hectares and producing around 128 million carbon credits.

Key Terms of Carbon Abatement Project Agreement

We typically form a joint venture or a partnership with our landowner clients to carry out the carbon abatement projects in Australia and PNG, the key terms of which are set out below:

Purpose of the joint venture or partnership. The parties form a joint venture or a partnership to combine expertise, management and property resources to support reduction of emissions and produce additional revenue for our clients through the issue of carbon credits for sale on the domestic and international markets.

Service term and renewal. The agreement typically remains in full force and effect from its date up to 2030 (the “Initial Term”). Upon the expiration of the Initial Term, the agreement shall be automatically renewed each time for a successive five-year period until 2050, subject to either party’s prior written notice of termination before the expiration of the Initial Term or any renewed term.

Our services. We provide geo-survey services and map all carbon sequestration capabilities of our clients for the purposes of identifying all carbon abatement capabilities of any existing pastured land, vegetation, crops, mangrove, forests or grasslands that may exist on land provided by the clients and to be managed by us. In particular, our services include carbon-based feasibility studies, geo-fencing and analysis of the land for the identification of carbon emissions and submission of contracts and other governmental documents for the issue of carbon credits.

Regulatory submission and approval. As the carbon abatement manager and registration agent, we manage the regulatory submission process as well as domestic and international sales and marketing of the carbon credits derived from the carbon abatement projects. In particular, we provide and operate an online portal with the CER, and provide access to government audits and carbon credit certificate issues on

215

TABLE OF CONTENTS

account. The government typically issues a valid carbon credit certificate upon an approved carbon project contract within 90 days of submission.

Sales of carbon. We sell the carbon credits to third party companies via auction or direct sales in domestic markets, or in international markets through our commercial relationships abroad.

Distribution of carbon credit sales revenue. The net proceeds, after deduction of operating expenses and disbursements, are split between the parties at a pre-agreed percentage. Typically, 20% to 60% of the net proceeds will be distributed to us with the rest 40% to 80% distributed to our clients and project officers (if any) as a whole.

Payment schedule. Our landowners clients and we agree to a guaranteed base price set for an initial term. We arrange to make payments within three working days of the initial deposit made by the government or from international exchange market or direct sales buyers. When profits generated from the carbon abatement projects exceed the base price by a pre-agreed percentage, our clients will receive additional payment.

Exclusivity. Due to the specialized nature of the carbon abatement industry and the longevity of our participation in the project, the agreement is entered into on an exclusive basis.

Confidentiality. Neither party is entitled to disclose any confidential information relating to the other party’s business to any person or entity without the express written consent of the affected party, except as required by law.

Termination. Either party may terminate the agreements by prior written notice to the other party at least 30 days before (but in no case more than 60 days before) the expiration of the Initial Term or any renewed term. At any time, the agreement may also be terminated by mutual written consent of the parties. When the agreement expires or terminates, all parties’ obligations under the agreement with respect to the operation and administration of the joint venture shall be immediately terminated.

Our Pipeline Products and Services

Our primary pipeline products include (i) X-SEPA separator and (ii) lithium manganese iron phosphate (LMFP) cathode.

X-SEPA Separator

Our batteries equipped with X-SEPA separator, developed by 3DOM Alliance after eight years of research and development, is more reliable and longer-lasting compared with conventional batteries, due to our X-SEPA separator’s high and uniformed porosity, high liquid absorption, and high heat resistance. Below is the illustrative picture of the structure of our batteries using X-SEPA separators:

216

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our X-SEPA separator has the unique advantage of high and uniform porosity, which is the key to high ionic conductivity, resulting in long battery lifespan and the avoidance of dendrite formation, which is the main cause of fire and explosions and fast battery deterioration. X-SEPA separator is capable of having more than 70% porosity, compared to around 40% porosity for conventional separators. Conventional separators are made through a uniaxial stretching method, which can only produce irregularly shaped and randomly distributed pores by tearing. In our case, we are able to produce, through 3DOM Alliance, pores that are uniformed and with high density through unique manufacturing process using polyimide precursor with beads and put through a process of drying and detachment, imidization and thermal removal of the beads, hence creating pores that are regular in shape and evenly distributed. Below is the illustrative picture showing the different production methods between a general-purpose PP separator and our X-SEPA separator:

The unique methodology of producing X-SEPA separators enables us to offer customized separators with pre-specified pore sizes and density, which helps achieve desired battery performance parameters. Furthermore, through a 3-layer die configuration, we are now able to offer separators with 3 layers with the middle layer being of low porosity and the two outer layers of high porosity. The middle layer can provide strength to the overall separator, whilst the outer layers of high porosity can increase the lifespan and make possible high C charge/discharge rates for the battery without causing damage and deterioration. Below is the illustrative picture of the structure of our X-SEPA separators:

In addition, X-SEPA separator has a high wettability due to its high and uniform porosity. This enables us to use high viscosity electrolytes, which are non-volatile and can prevent explosion. Such electrolytes, which have up to 30 times more viscosity than conventional electrolytes, are also less prone to evaporation at high temperatures, and thus can enhance battery performance. A 25mAh nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) battery, with non-volatile electrolyte and using X-SEPA separator, can last 600 cycles to the point when capacity retention drops to 60% at a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius and at 0.5C charge/discharge rate. A similar battery without X-SEPA separator can last only 370 cycles in the same condition. X-SEPA separator is hence

217

TABLE OF CONTENTS

essential for producing batteries which can withstand very high operating temperature conditions without fast deterioration of battery function.

Furthermore, our batteries, with the X-SEPA separator fitted in, are found to be high heat resistant, have high reliability in adnormal confitions and a near doubling of lifespan of other batteries. Capacity retention of our battery with X-SEPA separator only falls to 60% after 7,300 cycles, at an operating temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a 1C rate, whereas a battery without X-SEPA separator drops to 60% retention after 3,300 cycles in the same condition. If the operating temperature goes up to 45 degrees Celsius, our battery falls to 60% retention after 3,600 cycles whilst the other can last only 1,450 cycles. Nail penetration testing on the battery cell with a conventional separator had resulted in thermal runaway and venting, corresponding to European Council for Automotive R&D (“EUCAR”) hazard level 4, while testing on the battery cell equipped with our X-SEPA separator did not result in thermal runaway and produced no smoke or flame, corresponding to EUCAR hazard level 2.

The high uniform porosity of X-SEPA separator also makes it highly suitable for lithium-metal anode, solid-electrolyte batteries. A lithium-metal anode battery sample was developed and tested in July 2020, with successful achievement of 200 cycles for 400Wh/kg energy density. We expect the mass production of single layer separator to begin in the third quarter of 2023, and 3-layer samples have been provided for client testing since February 2023. Mass manufacturing of 3-layer separator is targeted to commence in the fourth quarter of 2024. The manufacturing of X-SEPA separators is expected to be carried out by 3DOM Alliance and OEMs.

Below is a diagram showing the differences between conventional batteries and our batteries using X-SEPA separators:

Lithium Manganese Iron Phosphate (LMFP) Cathode

Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries are increasingly used in place of nickel cobalt aluminum (NCA) and nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) batteries which are more expensive, but LFP batteries have the disadvantage of lower energy density. In 2014, 3DOM Alliance developed a battery using a cathode fabricated with lithium-manganese-iron-phosphate (LMFP), which has more energy density and cost less, as compared with LFP batteries. Our LMFP batteries developed by 3DOM Alliance have about 30% higher energy density than LFP batteries and a lifespan of about 6,000 cycles compared to 3,000 cycles for third party LFP batteries. Although the average cost of our LMFP batteries is higher than that of the LFP batteries, due to the much longer lifespan, cost of our LMFP batteries per cycle is about 35% lower. We expect to commence commercialization of the LMFP cathode in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Relationship with 3DOM Alliance

3DOM Alliance is our majority shareholder which engages in the R&D of various battery technologies. The history of 3DOM Alliance can be traced back to 2011 when the patent of “secondary battery separator

218

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and lithium secondary battery using the separator” was granted by Japan Patent Office to Professor Kiyoshi Kanamura, and subsequently licensed exclusively to 3DOM Technology Inc., the predecessor of 3DOM Alliance. During 2015 to 2017, 3DOM Alliance was among the list of technology innovation projects and enjoyed a series of governmental and university support. In 2018, 3DOM Alliance began making samples of solid-state batteries, and later in the following year, delivered the first supply of batteries using its proprietary battery technology to a BEV maker. In 2019, 3DOM Alliance also began the development of application for ESS. In 2020, 3DOM Alliance installed a small-scale production line for its separator X-SEPA, producing lithium-metal anode battery samples for testing.

We entered into an exclusive, irrevocable license-in agreement with 3DOM Alliance, on November 22, 2022, enabling us to manufacture our battery products with 3DOM Alliance’s cutting-edge technologies. Pursuant to our agreement, 3DOM Alliance granted us certain of its proprietary and licensed-in patents and other intellectual properties, as well as confidential know-how and other information, relating to, among others, battery cascade use, battery management system, battery cell and pack module, leasing with carbon credit, business model task distribution equipment, battery unit, electronic equipment control equipment communication terminals and electronic equipment, degradation-based billing prediction, and degradation-based billing forecasting (“3DOM IP Rights”).

Government Regulations

Singapore

Regulations on Environmental Protection and Resource Sustainability

The import, storage, usage, dealing and disposal of batteries in Singapore are regulated under several legislation in Singapore, including but not limited to the Environmental Protection and Management Act 1999 of Singapore (the “EPMA”) and the Environmental Public Health Act 1987 of Singapore (the “EPHA”), both of which and their respective subsidiary legislation are administered by the National Environmental Agency of Singapore (the “NEA”).

Under the EPMA, the importation of certain specified hazardous substances requires a license prior to doing so. The storage, use of and dealing with such hazardous substances must also be carried out in a manner that protects the health and safety of all persons as well as the environment. While our batteries do not contain any hazardous substances that are regulated under the licensing regime under the EPMA, we will continue to monitor for any manufacturing changes and battery developments in the future and will apply for such licensing as may be required.

Further, the disposal of obsolete and/or spent batteries and other constituent chemical waste products (collectively, “Battery Waste”) are regulated under the EPMA, the EPHA and the Resource Sustainability Act 2019 of Singapore (the “RSA”). Under the EPMA, we are not permitted to discharge or cause to be discharged Battery Waste and other polluting matters into any drain or land without the written permission of the NEA. In addition under the EPHA, we must store Battery Waste in a proper and efficient manner so as not to create a nuisance or to cause any risk, harm or injury to persons or is likely to pollute the environment, and must dispose of Battery Waste at authorized disposal facilities. The RSA also specifically provides that Battery Waste must be disposed via a waste collector or e-waste recycler that are each licensed under the EPHA.

Regulations on Workplace Safety and Health

The Workplace Safety and Health Act 2006 of Singapore (the “WSHA”) and its subsidiary legislation regulates the safety, health and welfare of persons at work in workplaces. It applies to all workplaces in Singapore (save for certain exemptions), and generally requires employers, occupiers and other stakeholders to uphold certain safety, health and welfare standards.

Under the WSHA, we are obliged to take reasonably practicable measures to ensure the safety and health of our employees, contractors, and direct or indirect subcontractors at work, including but not limited to maintaining facilities and arrangements for their welfare at work, adequate safety measures for machinery and equipment, and ensuring that such persons are not exposed to hazards in the processing, storage, transport and/or disposal of things at the occupied premises. We are required to maintain safety and health management systems, as well as continual monitoring for compliance. Additionally, we are required to take reasonably practicable measures to ensure that any access and/or egress points to the premises occupied by us (such as storage facilities), and all machinery, equipment or substance kept at the premises, are safe and pose no risks to the health of all persons within those premises.

Regulations on Fire Safety

The Fire Safety Act 1993 of Singapore (the “FSA”) regulates the arrangements for fire safety, fire hazards and fire prevention in premises located in Singapore. Because some of our batteries contain lithium compounds and other flammable materials, we may be required under the FSA to obtain a licence for the importation and/or transport of our batteries, as well as the storage of the batteries at storage facilities. Waste products generated from the Property that are deemed as flammable material must also be disposed in accordance with the storage license granted by the relevant authorities. We will apply for such license, if required, at a later time when such batteries are imported and/or transported in Singapore.

Australia

The Australian Federal Government established the CER by virtue of the Clean Energy Regulator Act 2011 and Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Act 2011. The CER is the regulatory authority responsible for the determination of rules in relation to carbon abatement, administration of the ERF and engaging in government purchasing of emissions reduction. The carbon abatement project is solely governed by the Australian Federal Government.

The ERF was established by virtue of the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Act 2011 and the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Rule 2015. The CER administers the ERF by way of funding registered ACCUs. Registered proprietors of land and registered proponents are able to create value by exploiting existing land, reducing their carbon emissions or removing and storing carbon in vegetation and/or soil.

Eligible projects may earn one ACCU for every ton of emissions reduced, avoided, removed or stored.

The CER is the primary market for ACCU sales. Carbon credits can be sold to government contracts or via secondary market, which includes private speculation, private carbon commitments or to other proponents for their respective projects. There is currently no exchange for carbon credits to be traded. Australia is introducing the Australian Carbon Exchange (“ACE”) which will facilitate the purchase, sale and settlement of ACCUs. Whether the ACE will integrate with international markets is yet to be determined.

ACCUs are purchased and sold via the Australian National Registry of Emission Units (“ANREU”) with each unit being recorded on the registry. The ANREU is governed by the Australian National Registry of Emissions Units Act 2011 and the Australian National Registry of Emissions Units Regulations 2011. The registry monitors credits owned, transferred for income, cancelled or relinquished. Each registered proponent under the CER is required to be registered with the ANREU. Upon a successful application to the CER, the credits will be issued to the registered proponents registry account and be available for trading.

Australia is a party to the Indo-Pacific Carbon Offsets Scheme, which allows for credits obtained via carbon abatement projects to be openly traded between companies in the private sector.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PNG

The current state of the laws and regulations regarding carbon credits and a carbon market in PNG is in a development phase and as such, lawmakers are having difficulties with forming the appropriate regulatory bodies and framework to ensure compliance with the Paris Agreement and its own constitution. The current regulation being Climate Change (Management) (Carbon Market) Regulation 2022 covers the rights to the carbon stored in PNG’s forests.

PNG currently has no compliant carbon market established. Given the developmental phase of the carbon market industry in PNG, there is a lack of legislation, policy framework and administrative agreements to participate domestically and internationally. PNG has created development authorization bodies to facilitate climate issues, inclusive of a carbon market. Currently, there is a moratorium on voluntary carbon contracts in PNG, due to further regulations being developed. Once the regulations are finalized, the voluntary carbon market will resume.

PNG is a party to the Indo-Pacific Carbon Offsets Scheme, which allows for credits obtained via carbon abatement projects to be openly traded between companies in the private sector.

We currently do not have any customers as we have yet to commercialize our leasing services and other services. Our business primarily targets commercial transportation companies as well as renewable power plants and other power plants requiring grid-stabilization and backup power, that have environmental concerns, sustainability goals, and zero-emission mission. Based on our esimates of the market conditions and our operation status, we expect to commence our leasing business in the third quarter of 2023.

Current clients of our carbon abatement solutions business are primarily landowners in Australia and PNG.

Competition

Battery and Energy Storage Industry

The battery and energy storage industry is highly competitive, and new regulatory requirements for vehicle emissions, technological advances, and shifting customer demands are causing the industry to evolve towards zero-emission solutions. We believe that the primary competitive factors in the market include, but are not limited to:

•

total cost of ownership (“TCO”);

222

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

safety, reliability and quality;

•

gravimetric and volumetric energy density;

•

product performance and uptime;

•

charging characteristics;

•

technological innovation;

•

comprehensive solution from a single provider;

•

ease of integration; and

•

service options.

Similar to traditional OEMs in the passenger vehicle market, incumbent commercial transportation OEMs are burdened with legacy systems and the need to generate sufficient return on existing infrastructure, which has created a reluctance to embrace new zero-emission drivetrain technology. This reluctance creates opportunity for us and has allowed us to gain a significant head start against our competition. We believe the global push for lower emissions combined with vast technological improvements in fuel cell and battery-electric powertrain technologies have awakened well-established battery technology companies and vehicle manufacturers to begin investing in zero-emission transportation. We expect an accelerating transition from ICE vehicle to BEVs in the commercial transportation sector in the next three years.

Our key competitors are leading battery technology companies. Our batteries have various advantageous features, including heat resistance, higher energy density, high charge rates, high discharge rates, long lifespan and improved reliability, which are suited for different needs and operating conditions and we believe will increase our market shares. For more details, see “— Our Competitive Strengths” and “— Sales and Marketing.”

Carbon Abatement Solutions and Carbon Credit Market

In addition, we are also generating and providing carbon credits to companies who are under the pressure to decarbonize their business operations, such as logistics companies. See “— Carbon Abatement Solutions and Carbon Credit Sales” and “— Our Industry and Market Opportunity — The approaching deadlines for carbon emission reduction goal bring opportunities for the carbon credits market” for more details.

Ltd. and BINEX Inc. on December 20, 2022. By signing this MOU, we aim to provide carbon credits and leasing services along with carbon credits for the decarbonization of Kyushu Sanko buses operating in Kyushu region of Japan. We intend to conduct a proof of conduct on a fuel cell bus in 2025. The MOU will expire on December 19, 2023 and can be renewed by written agreement, unless earlier terminated (i) by the non-defaulting party upon the violation of the MOU without timely correction or (ii) by either party in the event of the commencement of insolvency proceedings against the other party.

Suppliers and Manufacturing

Our suppliers consist primarily of (i) raw battery material suppliers and (ii) OEMs that manufacture separators, battery cells and packs, and BEVs. We are in the process of establishing business relationships

224

TABLE OF CONTENTS

with several OEM automakers and vendors of battery materials. In addition to purchasing products from our suppliers, we plan to establish collaborative partnerships with them, particular those OEMs. We also plan to work closely with suppliers to jointly develop advanced battery materials to create battery cells.

Sales and Marketing

Equipped with the licensed-in technology and deep understanding of the Southeast Asia and South Asia markets, we take an insight-driven, strategic approach to our go-to-market strategy. Sales activities will be generally carried out by our full-time employees in our business development department. We are also establishing strategic partnerships with various automakers to have our batteries incorporated into their vehicles in order to capture more attention in the market.

We customize different marketing strategies for different customer types or regions, based on factors that are peculiar to their specific requirements for batteries. For example, we develop and market batteries with high viscosity electrolyte, in order to supply batteries that are highly reliable and enduring in regions where high operating temperature is an issue. For applications requiring high torque batteries, such as drones and sports cars, we adopt the X-SEPA multi-layer separators to develop high C discharge rate batteries that will not deteriorate. For the ESS market, we strategically focus on developing long-life batteries that can last up to 6,000 cycles to reduce our clients’ costs. With respect to our business of carbon abatement solutions and carbon credit sales, we secure contracts with more landowners by offering a higher percentage share of the revenue generated from carbon credit sales. In addition, we also demonstrate expertise, industry knowledge, high standards of integrity and strong relationship with the regulators.

The head of our business development team works in close consultation with our chief product officer and chief strategy officer to develop effective strategies to market our products and services to potential customers and collaborative or joint venture partners. In particular, we place a high priority on our decarbonization life cycle assessment, which we believe will help us to win more market share of the BEV and ESS market globally in the long run. Our chief operation officer is also working with the business development team to ensure that marketing and communications efforts and programs undertaken are consistent and provide meaningful assistance.

We plan to have an effective after-sales service policy in place once we begin our battery leasing business. We plan to bear the maintenance and repair costs of our batteries and our leased BEVs and ESS. To avoid disruption to our clients’ operations caused by the defects of our batteries, a spare inventory is maintained in order to replace the malfunctioning BEVs or ESS quickly.

Research and Development

We do not operate or have any R&D department. Our success depends in part on the innovative and advanced technologies generated by 3DOM Alliance’s R&D department.

The primary areas of focus for 3 DOM Alliance’s R&D include, but are not limited to, X-SEPA multi-layer separators for high torque batteries, large lithium-ion battery prototypes, next-generation lithium metal anode, solid electrolyte rechargeable batteries, and phosphoric acid fuel cells (PAFC). 3DOM Alliance undertakes significant testing and validation of the battery products before supplying to us in order to meet our internal quality control standards and the demands of our clients.

Employees

As of June 30, 2022, we had eight employees based primarily in Singapore, all of which were full-time employees. A majority of our employees are engaged in business development, operations, finance, and administration. None of our employees is either represented by a labor union or subject to a collective bargaining agreement. We enter into non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality agreements or service agreement or employment agreement that contains non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality clauses with our employees.

Environmental Matters

We recognize that large-scale global adoption of lithium-ion batteries will require cost-effective recycling processes. Accordingly, we focus on the use of the X-SEPA battery separator, which can double

225

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the lifespan of traditional batteries, so that our battery packs can have a “second life” as refurbished batteries or for use in stationary storage application.

We also are forming a collaboration with TES B for the e-waste recycling, repurposing and reusing of our lithium-ion batteries. TES B is the first battery recycling facility in Southeast Asia which has the daily capacity to recycle up to 14 tons or the equivalent of 280,000 lithium-ion smartphone batteries.

In addition, our carbon abatement solutions business can help us reduce the carbon emission we generated in the process of our operations. We will use the carbon credit we earn during our carbon abatement projects to offset our own carbon emission. We believe our technologies, collaboration with waste recycling leaders, as well as our carbon abatement solutions business will help us contribute more to making a better environment.

Data Services and Protection

Data Services

Our own-and-lease business model provides an opportunity for us to accumulate a tremendous amount of raw data. We plan to build a data infrastructure by storing, managing and analyzing our data assets. This data infrastructure is expected to produce meaningful data on battery usage and behavior for the purpose of developing increasingly efficient batteries, as well as process data for intelligent and optimized transportation. We plan to utilize our smart battery infrastructure to provide data services along with our leasing services.

Data Protection

We have established data access rights for each department and data file, and have appointed a management personnel to control such data access rights. While we have yet to establish a data protection policy, an information security committee have been set up to look into the following:

•

the establishment of information management rules and guidelines, such as manner of classification of confidential information, establishment of confidential information storage locations, and documentation of intangible assets;

•

establishing and strengthening information security infrastructure; and

•

providing information security education for company personnel.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in additional legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. We are currently involved in a civil litigation in Singapore relating to an alleged breach of a share swap agreement, pursuant to which, subject to certain condition precedents by the claimant, we would engage in a share swap (the “Share Swap”) with the claimant where we will hold 24% of the claimant’s total equity interests and the claimant would hold 8% (the “Minority Interests”) of our total equity interests. In the litigation, the claimant alleges that we have substantially breached the contract by not performing the Share Swap, and demands, inter alia, that the court orders specific performance of the Share Swap. As the share swap agreement has lapsed with the claimant failing to satisfy certain condition precedents to complete the Share Swap as provided thereunder, we believe the litigation lacks merit and we have submitted an application to strike out the claim. In any case, given that the litigation only concerns the Minority Interests, our management is of the view that the outcome of the litigation would not materially affect our business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we are currently not a party to any legal proceedings the outcome of which, if determined adversely to us, would individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Company Information

We were incorporated under the laws of Singapore on July 25, 2019. Our principal executive offices are located at 4 Shenton Way, #04-06 SGX Centre II, Singapore 068807, with a total area of 2,432 square feet. The lease will expire on September 14, 2024. Our phone number is (65) 6970 9643 and our contact email address is contactus@noco-noco.com. There is no established public trading market for our ordinary shares.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF NOCO-NOCO

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the “Selected Historical Financial Data of noco-noco” and the historical unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business and related financing, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, such as those set forth under the “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” sections and elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are a pre-commercialization stage company with no revenue to date. We have incurred net loss of $1.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and have incurred net loss of $1.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. We have an accumulated deficit of $3.5 million as of December 31, 2022, and an accumulated deficit of $2.4 million as of June 30, 2022.

Key Factors Affecting Our Business

As a pre-commercialization stage company, we believe that our performance and future success depend on several factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose significant risks and challenges, including those discussed below and in the section titled “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Continued Development and Upgrade of Our Battery Products

We license in a series of state-of-the-art patents and know-how technologies from 3DOM Alliance, our majority shareholder, with respect to, among others, battery cascade use, battery management system, battery cell and pack model, and battery units. For details of our licensing-in arrangement with 3DOM Alliance, see “noco-noco’s Business — Relationship with 3DOM Alliance.” These licensed-in technologies enable us to produce batteries that we believe, as compared to conventional batteries, are designed to have a longer lifespan and higher reliability, and be more resistant to high operating temperature and thermal runaways. Therefore, our ability to produce state-of-the-art battery products and achieve profitability in our leasing services depends, in part, on the continued innovation of the technologies licensed-in from 3DOM Alliance.

Partnering with Industry-Leading Automakers and Manufacturers

We have entered into several MOUs with our strategic partners, including well-known automakers and battery manufacturers, for potential business collaborations and formation of strategic joint ventures. See “noco-noco’s Business — Partnerships.” We believe that our battery products will experience swift market adoption due to our strategic partnerships with these automakers and manufacturers. We plan to collaborate with other automakers and OEMs to expedite such adoption and increase market acceptance of our battery products over time.

Ability to procure new contracts with landowners

The key factor driving the demand for carbon credits is the global push towards decarbonization, driven by governmental and supra national bodies, such as the United Nations. As more and more nations start to adopt or even accelerate the setting of standards for compliance towards zero carbon emissions, the demand for carbon credits is anticipated to surge. Carbon credit prices have been in an uptrend since 2007 and, aside from minor short-term fluctuations, are likely to continue the long-term uptrend. This will mean higher earnings from our carbon credit sales. Therefore, our ability to procure and sign new contracts with landowners to increase credits generations is highly dependent on our reputation and expertise in this industry. As such, our business is subject to adverse events which may cause damage, whether real or perceived, to our reputation. For more information, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to noco-noco’s Business and Industry.”

Competition

The battery and BEV market is fast-growing, competitive and driven by the innovation of both large companies and emerging entrants like us. We acknowledge that the existing market players and other emerging entrants may have greater resources to invest in advancing their technologies, access to more potential customers, or strategic relationships with OEMs (or other third parties) that may give them a competitive edge. We further acknowledge that these disparities, where they exist, have the potential to harm our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Capital Needs

We have incurred net loss and negative cash flows from operations for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Assuming we experience no significant delays in the commercialization of our business, we believe that our cash resources are sufficient to fund our marketing activities and manufacturing of battery products through OEMs. For more information, see “— Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Government Regulatory and Compliance

There are government regulations pertaining to battery safety, transportation of batteries, use of batteries in vehicles, product liabilities and disposal of hazardous materials. We will ultimately have to comply with these regulations to lease our battery products. In addition, changes in national or global regulations may affect the demand for credits or our ability to generate credits. Hence, we are constantly keeping abreast of current or potential changes in regulations, and where possible, engage with the regulators in order to understand or anticipate potential headwinds that may affect our business. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to noco-noco’s Business and Industry” for the risks that may affect our business, and “— Government Regulations” for details of the regulations that are applicable to our business operations.

Basis of Presentation

Our financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP in U.S. dollars. For more information about our basis of presentation, refer to Note 3 to our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and audited financial statements as of and for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and demand deposit with banks, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use, and which have original maturities of three months or less when purchased.

Inventories

Inventories, consisting of finished goods, are primarily accounted for using the first-in-first-out method of accounting. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost consists

228

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of the price purchase stock and we estimate the net realizable value of inventories based on an assessment of expected sales prices. Demand levels and pricing competition could change from time to time. If such factors result in an adverse effect on our products, we might be required to reduce the value of its inventories.

Deposit, Upfront Payment and Other Receivables

Security deposits paid for office lease are accounted for as deposit. Amounts paid in advance for future expenses are accounted for as prepaid expenses. Goods and service tax refunds and collection of proceed from sales of batteries to business partner are accounted for as other receivables.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for additions, major renewals and betterments are capitalized and expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related capitalized assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

			Useful lives
Office equipment					5 years

Other Current Liabilities

Other current liabilities are liabilities for goods and services provided to us prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. They are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Leases

We have entered into operating lease agreements primarily for office. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. For all classes of underlying assets, we elect not to recognize right of use assets or lease liabilities when a lease has a lease term of 12 months or less at the commencement date and does not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that we are reasonably certain to exercise. Operating lease assets and liabilities are included on our balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the present value of the future lease payments at the lease commencement date. The interest rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments is our incremental borrowing rate, because the interest rate implicit in most of our leases is not readily determinable. Our incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, and in economic environments where the leased asset is located. Operating lease assets also include any prepaid lease payments and lease incentives. Our lease terms include periods under options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. We generally use the base, non-cancellable, lease term when determining the lease assets and liabilities. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This standard requires a financial asset (or group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. This standard became effective to us on January 1, 2023. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12), which simplifies the accounting

229

TABLE OF CONTENTS

for income taxes. This guidance became effective for entities for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2021 and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

We do not expect any other recently issued accounting standards to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows when they become effective.

Components of Results of Operations

We are an early-stage growth company in the pre-commercialization stage of development. We have not generated any revenue from sales to customers, and our historical results may not be indicative of our future results for reasons that may be difficult to anticipate. Our ability in the future to generate revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend largely on the successful development of our battery products as well as the commercialization of our own-and-lease business model and our carbon abatement solution business. Accordingly, the drivers of our future financial results, as well as the components of such results, may not be comparable to our historical results of operations.

Operating expenses

Our operating expenses consist of research and development (“R&D”) cost, and selling, general and administrative expenses. Our R&D expenses are primarily attributable to our engagement of a system integrator to carry out R&D work for residential energy storage systems. Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of directors’ remuneration, payroll and related cost, expenses incurred for depreciation of office equipment, and costs incurred for outside contractor and professional service fees, audit and compliance expenses, legal, accounting and other advisory services. For the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we incurred total operating expenses of $1.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively. For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we incurred total operating expenses of $1.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

We are rapidly expanding our personnel headcount, in anticipation of planning for and supporting our growth and operating as a public company. Accordingly, we expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to increase significantly in the near term and for the foreseeable future. Upon commencement of commercial operations, we also expect to incur customer and sales support and advertising expenses.

Other income/(expense)

Other income/(expense) comprises of (i) other income, including a one-off sale of batteries to a business partner and COVID-19 government grant, (ii) other expense, including costs incurred from the one-off sale of batteries, and (iii) foreign exchange gain. For the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we generated total other income of $35,046 and $8,365, respectively. For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we generated total other income of $11,828 and $50,435, respectively.

Comparison of Six Months Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

Operating expenses. Total operating expenses increased by 94.7% to $1.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022 from $0.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to (i) an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $578,503, which was primarily attributable to an increase in payroll and related cost associated with the hiring of new employees.

Other income/(expense). Total other income increased by 319% to $35,046 for the six months ended December 31, 2022 from $8,365 for the six months ended December 31, 2021. Such increase was primarily because (i) we received more goverrment working labour relief of $26,987, and (ii) exchanges gains of S$8,315.

Comparison of Years Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

Operating expenses. Total operating expenses increased by 50.7% to $1.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2022 from $0.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to (i) an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $233,941, which was primarily attributable to an increase in payroll and related cost associated with the hiring of new employees and partially offset by a decrease in professional fees and a decrease in directors’ remuneration, and (ii) an increase in R&D cost of $132,464 which was due to the progressive development of a prototype of a residential energy storage system.

Other income/(expense). Total other income decreased by 76.5% to $11,828 for the year ended June 30, 2022 from $50,435 for the year ended June 30, 2021. Such decrease was primarily because (i) we generated other income from a one-off sales of batteries to a business partner of $17,046, and (ii) we received a COVID-19 related rental waiver of $33,249, both of which were recognized for the year ended June 30, 2021 but not for the year ended June 30, 2022, and partially offset by (iii) other expense of $14,999 which consisted of the costs incurred from the one-off sale of batteries.

Net loss. As a result of the foregoing, our net loss increased by 91.5% to $1.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022 from $0.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021. Our net loss increased by 60.3% to $1.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2022 from $0.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, our principal sources of liquidity have been financing transactions with investors and loans from our majority shareholder that have provided us with the necessary funds to support our business

231

TABLE OF CONTENTS

activities. As of December 31, 2022, we had raised approximately $1.5 million of funding through the issuance of ordinary shares. On August 1, 2020, we issued a promissory note with 3DOM Alliance (the “Note”). The Note provides for borrowings upon our request, on one or more occasions, up to an aggregate of principal amount of S$8.0 million ($5.8 million). No interest shall accrue to any loans under the Note. As of July 13, 2023, we had drawn down an aggregate amount of S$4.47 million ($3.36 million ). See “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions — noco-noco and PubCo Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Promissory Note.”

On November 22, 2022, we entered into an exclusive, irrevocable license-in agreement with 3DOM Alliance, pursuant to which we are obligated to pay a one-off, refundable upfront payment of $30 million licensing fee to 3DOM Alliance. In addition, we shall pay quarterly royalties equal to three percent (3%) of the gross profit generated using each of 3DOM IP Rights granted to us, including its proprietary and licensed-in patents and other intellectual property, as well as confidential yet critical know-how and other information. Such upfront payment shall be credited against any royalties under the agreement such that the amount of the upfront payment shall be deducted from the royalties when due and payable. In the event that the upfront payment has any remaining amount after the last deduction from the royalties at the end of a five-year period from the last instalment of the upfront payment, the remaining unutilized amount shall be refunded to us at our request. Pursuant to a supplemental agreement to the license-in agreement dated May 10, 2023 (the “Supplemental Agreement”), the upfront payment shall be payable over a series of instalments after the consummation of the Business Combination, in such amounts and pursuant to such repayment schedule as may be agreed between 3DOM Alliance and us. Both parties shall negotiate the installment plan in good faith, taking into consideration our working capital needs as well as our liquidity and available capital resources after the consummation of the Business Combination. As a result, we do not expect that the $30 million upfront payment will have a material impact on our liquidity and capital resources before or after the consummation of the Business Combination. As of the date of the proxy/registration statement, we had not paid any upfront payments to 3DOM Alliance yet. See “noco-noco’s Business — Relationship with 3DOM Alliance” and “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions — noco-noco and Pubco Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Licence-in Agreement.”

As of December 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $21,449. As of June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $81,626. Our cash and cash equivalents are primarily denominated in Singapore dollars as well as in local currencies of our Priority Markets. We have yet to generate any revenue from our business operations, and we have not achieved profitable operations or positive cash flows from our operations since inception. Our accumulated deficit aggregated $3.5 million as of December 31, 2022 and we expect to incur substantial losses in future periods. As an early-stage growth company in the pre-commercialization stage of development, the net loss we have incurred since inception are consistent with our strategy and budget.

We plan to finance our operations with a combination of proceeds from the Business Combination, capital from investors and shareholders, and if required in the future, loans from financial institutions, as well as anticipated future revenue from our service offerings. Our ability to successfully develop our products, commence commercial operations and expand our business will depend on many factors, including our working capital needs, the availability of equity and/or debt financing and, over time, our ability to generate positive cash flows from operations. We believe that our cash on hand following the Business Combination will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this filing.

As a result of the capital-intensive nature of our business, we expect to sustain substantial operating expenses, without generating sufficient revenues, to cover expenditures for a number of years. Over time, we expect that we will need to raise additional funds through a variety of possible methods, including, but not limited to, entry into joint ventures or other strategic arrangements, the issuance of equity, equity-related or debt securities or through obtaining credit from financial institutions. These funds are expected to finance our principal sources of liquidity and ongoing operating expenses. If we were to require additional funding or otherwise determined it was beneficial to seek additional sources of financing or enter into other arrangements as described above, we believe that our debt-free balance sheet would enable us to access financing on reasonable terms. However, there can be no assurance that such additional capital would be available on attractive terms, if at all, when needed, which could be dilutive to stockholders. We may be forced

232

to decrease our level of investment in product development or scale back our operations. Furthermore, the cost of debt could be higher than anticipated. There can also be no assurance that positive cash flow from operations can be achieved or sustained. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to noco-noco’s Business and Industry — We may need to raise additional funds and these funds may not be available to us when we need them. If we cannot raise additional funds when we need them, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be negatively affected.”

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements

As of December 31, 2022, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC, that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenue, or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to investors.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily include credit risk and foreign currency risk.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the potential financial loss to us resulting from the failure of a customer or a counterparty to settle our financial and contractual obligations, as and when they fall due. As we do not hold any collateral, the maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amounts of trade and other receivables (exclude upfront payments) and cash and bank deposits presented on the consolidated balance sheets. We have no other financial assets which carry significant exposure to credit risk.

Foreign Currency Risk

We operate in several countries and regions, which exposes us to the effects of fluctuations in currency exchange rates as we report our financials and key operational metrics in US dollars. We earn revenue denominated in, and generally incur expenses for employee compensation and other operating expenses in, local currencies. Fluctuations in the exchange rates among the various currencies that we use could cause fluctuations in our operational and financial results.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Prior to the closing of the Business Combination, we have been and will be a private company with limited numbers of accounting personnel and other resources with which to address our internal controls and procedures. In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we and our auditors, an independent registered public accounting firm, identified one material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. As defined in the standards established by the PCAOB, a “material weakness” is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A “significant deficiency” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, that is less severe than a material weakness yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the company’s financial reporting.

Board of Directors

Except as provided in the Amended PubCo Charter, a director may vote in respect of any contract or transaction in which he/she is interested provided that the nature of the interest of any director in any such contract or transaction is disclosed at or prior to its consideration and any vote thereon, and such director may be counted in the quorum at any meeting of directors at which any such contract or transaction is considered. A director who is interested in a contract or proposed contract with us must declare the nature of his interest at a meeting of the directors. None of our non-employee director has a service contract with us that provides for benefits upon termination of service.

Duties of Directors

Under the laws of the Cayman Islands, our directors owe certain fiduciary duties to us, including a duty of loyalty, a duty to act honestly, and a duty to act in good faith in what they consider to be in our best interests. Our directors must also exercise their powers only for a proper purpose. Our directors also have a duty to exercise the skills they actually possess and such care and diligence that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.

In fulfilling their duty of care to us, our directors must ensure compliance with our memorandum and articles of association as may be amended from time to time. Our company has a right to seek damages against any director who breaches a duty owed to us.

240

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the requirements for an “independent director” within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing rules. Mr. Heizo Takenaka will be the chairperson of the nominating and corporate committee. As a controlled company and foreign private issuer, we have elected to not have our nominating and corporate committee consist of entirely independent directors.

The nominating and corporate committee will assist our board of directors in evaluating nominees to our board of directors and its committees. In addition, the nominating and corporate committee will be responsible for, among other things:

•

reviewing annually with our board of directors the characteristics such as knowledge, skills, qualifications, experience and diversity of directors;

•

overseeing director training and development programs; and

•

advising our board of directors periodically with regards to significant developments in the law and practice of corporate governance as well as compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and making recommendations to our board of directors on all matters of corporate governance and on any remedial action to be taken.

Controlled Company Status

We are a controlled company because 3DOM Alliance, our majority shareholder, holds more than 50% of our voting power, and we expect we will continue to be a controlled company upon completion of this offering. For so long as we remain a controlled company, we are not required to comply with the following permitted to elect to rely, and may rely, on certain exemptions from the obligation to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including:

•

our board of directors is not required to be comprised of a majority of independent directors.

•

our board of directors is not subject to the compensation committee requirement; and

•

we are not subject to the requirements that director nominees be selected either by the independent directors or a nomination committee comprised solely of independent directors.

As a result, if we take advantage of these exemptions, you will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements. We intend to take advantage of these controlled company exemptions. As a result, you may not be provided with the benefits of certain corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq applicable to U.S. domestic public companies. See “Risk Factors — Because we are a “controlled company” as defined in the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules, you may not have protections of certain corporate governance requirements which otherwise are required by Nasdaq’s rules.”

Foreign Private Issuer Status

We are an exempted company limited by shares incorporated in 2022 under the laws of the Cayman Islands. After the consummation of the Business Combination, we will report under the Exchange Act as a non-U.S. company with foreign private issuer status. Under Rule 405 of the Securities Act, the determination of foreign private issuer status is made annually on the last business day of an issuer’s most recently completed second fiscal quarter and, accordingly, the next determination will be made with respect to us on December 31, 2023. For so long as we qualify as a foreign private issuer, we will be exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including:

•

the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K with the SEC;

•

the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents, or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act;

•

the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of our share ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and

241

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

the selective disclosure rules by issuers of material nonpublic information under Regulation Fair Disclosure, or Regulation FD, which regulates selective disclosure of material non-public information by issuers.

We will be required to file an annual report on Form 20-F within four months of the end of each fiscal year. In addition, we intend to publish its results on a semi-annual basis through press releases, distributed pursuant to the rules and regulations of Nasdaq. Press releases relating to financial results and material events will also be furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K. However, the information we are required to file with or furnish to the SEC will be less extensive and less timely compared to that required to be filed with the SEC by U.S. domestic issuers. Accordingly, after the Business Combination, our shareholders will receive less or different information about us than a shareholder of a U.S. domestic public company would receive.

We are a non-U.S. company with foreign private issuer status, and, after the consummation of the Business Combination, will be listed on Nasdaq. Nasdaq market rules permit a foreign private issuer like us to follow the corporate governance practices of our home country. Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is our home country, may differ significantly from Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. Among other things, we are not required to have:

•

a majority of our board of directors consist of independent directors;

•

a compensation committee consisting of independent directors;

•

a nominating committee consisting of independent directors;

•

regularly scheduled executive sessions with only independent directors each year;

•

an annual meeting of shareholders no later than one year after the end of the company’s fiscal-year end; and

•

Shareholder approval prior to an issuance of securities in connection with: (i) the acquisition of the stock or asset of another company; (ii) equity-based compensation of officers, directors, employees or consultants; (iii) a change of control other than by way of mergers and consolidations, or arrangeements or reconstructions; and (iv) transactions other than public offerings, mergers ad consolidations, or arrangements or reconstructions;

We intend to rely on our home country Cayman Islands practices in lieu of the requirements under Rules 5600 Series, Rule 5250(b)(3) and Rule 5250(d), except Rule 5625, Rule 5605(c)(2)(A)(ii) and Rule 5605(c)(3) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC Rules. As a result, you may not be provided with the benefits of certain corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq applicable to U.S. domestic public companies. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to PubCo and Ownership of PubCo’s Shares — PubCo is a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands and will qualify as a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act, and as such PubCo is exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States domestic public companies.”

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We will, prior to or concurrently with the listing of PubCo’s Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq, adopt a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees. We seek to conduct business ethically, honestly, and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets out the principles designed to guide our business practices with integrity, respect and dedication. The code applies to all directors, officers, employees and extended workforce, including our directors and executive officers. We expect our suppliers, contractors, consultants, and other business partners to follow the principles set forth in its code when providing goods and services to us or acting on our behalf.

Employment Agreements and Indemnification Agreements

We will enter into an employment agreement with each of our executive officers. The employment of the executive officers under these employment agreements is for an indefinite period, but may be terminated by us for cause at any time without advance notice or for any other reason by giving prior written notice

242

TABLE OF CONTENTS

or by paying certain compensation, and the executive officer may terminate his or her employment at any time by giving us prior written notice. The employment agreements with the executive officers also include confidentiality and non-disclosure restrictions and non-competition and non-solicitation restrictions that apply during employment and for certain periods following termination of employment.

We will enter into indemnification agreements with each of our directors. Under these agreements, we may agree to indemnify our director against certain liabilities and expenses incurred by such persons in connection with claims made by reason of their being a director of us.

Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers

For the year ended June 30, 2023, noco-noco paid an aggregate of approximately S$0.2 million in cash compensation and benefits in kind to noco-noco’s executive officers as a group. In Singapore, noco-noco is required by the applicable laws and regulations to make contributions, as employers, to the Central Provident Fund for executive officers who are employed by noco-noco as prescribed under the Central Provident Fund Act. The contribution rates vary, depending on the age of the executive officers, and whether such executive officer is a Singapore citizen or permanent resident (contributions are not required or permitted in respect of a foreigner on a work pass). Save as aforesaid, noco-noco’s executive officers do not receive pension, retirement or other similar benefits, and noco-noco has not set aside or accrued any amount to provide cash benefits to its executive officers. noco-noco paid an aggregate of S$45,000 in cash compensation to its independent directors for the year ended June 30, 2023. noco-noco is not a party to any agreements with its executive officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.

Share Incentive Plan

2023 Equity Incentive Plan

In February 2023, our board of directors adopted and our shareholders approved the noco-noco Inc. 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “PubCo Incentive Plan”). As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, under the PubCo 2023 Plan, dividend equivalents, options, restricted shares, restricted share units, share appreciation rights or other rights or benefits to purchase 6,961,159 noco-noco Ordinary Shares were outstanding (assuming no redemptions of PNAC public shares).

The following summarizes the material terms of the PubCo Incentive Plan:

•

Shares Subject to the PubCo Incentive Plan. Under the terms of the Shareholders’ Agreement, the maximum number of PubCo Ordinary Shares that may be issued under the PubCo Incentive Plan from time to time is five percent (5%) of the fully diluted share capital of PubCo as of the date of determination. The maximum aggregate number of PubCo Ordinary Shares which may be subject to awards under the PubCo Incentive Plan initially shall be an aggregate number equal to 6,961,159 (assuming no redemptions of PNAC public shares). The aggregate number of PubCo Ordinary Shares reserved for awards under the PubCo Incentive Plan will automatically increase on July 1 of each year, for a period of not more than ten (10) years, commencing on July 1 of the year following the year in which the effective date occurs and ending on (and including) July 1, 2033, in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the total number of PubCo Ordinary Shares outstanding on June 30 of the preceding calendar year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, our board may act prior to July 1 of a given year to provide that there will be no July 1 increase for such year or that the increase for such year will be a lesser number of PubCo Ordinary Shares than provided in the PubCo Incentive Plan.

•

Plan Administration. Our board of directors itself or any committee delegated by our board of directors will administer the PubCo Incentive Plan. The administrator, among other things, determines the participants to receive awards, when and how awards will be granted, the type of award to be granted, the number of awards to be granted, and the other terms and conditions of each award.

•

Capitalization Adjustment. In the event that the number of outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares is changed by a share dividend, recapitalization, share split, reverse share split, subdivision, combination, reclassification or other change in our capital structure affecting PubCo Ordinary Shares without consideration, then in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits

243

TABLE OF CONTENTS

intended to be made available under the PubCo Incentive Plan: (a) the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares reserved for issuance under this Plan, (b) the applicable price per PubCo Ordinary Share and number of PubCo Ordinary Shares subject to outstanding awards will be proportionately adjusted, subject to any required action by the our board of directors or our shareholders and compliance with applicable law; provided, however, that fractions of a PubCo Ordinary Share will not be issued but will either be paid in cash at the fair market value of such fraction of a PubCo Ordinary Share or will be rounded down to the nearest whole PubCo Ordinary Share, as determined by the administrator.

•

Types of Awards. The PubCo Incentive Plan permits the grants of dividend equivalents, options, restricted shares, restricted share units, and share appreciation rights.

•

Eligibility. Our employees, directors and consultants or any of our subsidiaries and affiliates are eligible to participate in the PubCo Incentive Plan, except that pursuant to any applicable laws, grants to non-employees are prohibited.

•

Award Agreements. Awards granted under the PubCo Incentive Plan are evidenced by award agreements confirming the grant of awards.

•

Conditions of Awards. The administrator determines the provisions, terms and conditions of each dividend equivalent, option, restricted share, restricted share unit, and share appreciation right granted under the PubCo 2023 Plan, including but not limited to the term, timing of grant, and the vesting schedule of the awards.

•

Transferability. The awards and all rights thereunder are exercisable only by the participants and are not assignable or transferable, unless otherwise permitted in the award agreement.

•

Termination of Employment. Except as may otherwise be provided by the administrator in an award agreement, a grantee’s rights in all dividend equivalent rights shall automatically terminate upon the grantee’s termination of employment (or cessation of service relationship) with us and our subsidiaries for any reason.

•

Term; Amendment. Unless suspended or terminated earlier, the PubCo Incentive Plan has a term of ten years from the date it was adopted by our board of directors (or, if earlier, the date it was approved by our shareholders). Our board of directors has the authority to, at any time; (i) terminate or amend the PubCo Incentive Plan in any respect, including without limitation amendment of any form of award agreement or other instrument to be executed pursuant to PubCo Incentive Plan, provided that any amendment or termination that has a material and adverse effect on the rights of grantees shall require their consents; and, (ii) terminate any and all outstanding options or share appreciation rights upon a winding up or liquidation of our company, followed by the payment of creditors and the distribution of any remaining funds to the our shareholders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information regarding the expected beneficial ownership of PubCo Ordinary Shares immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination by:

•

each person who is expected to beneficially own 5.0% or more of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares;

•

each executive officer and director nominee of PubCo; and

•

all of those executive officers and director nominees of PubCo as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to, or the power to receive the economic benefit of ownership of, the securities. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares that the person has the right to acquire within 60 days are included, including through the exercise of any option or other right or the conversion of any other security. However, these shares are not included in the computation of the percentage ownership of any other person including transferees of any potential minority investment in or secondary share transfers involving less than 2.5% of the voting power and economic interest of noco-noco prior to the Closing as permitted under the Business Combination Agreement.

The expected beneficial ownership of shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination assumes two scenarios:

•

a “no redemption” scenario where no PNAC Public Stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their PNAC Public Shares; and

•

a “maximum redemption” scenario where all PNAC Public Stockholders exercise their redemption rights in respect of 4,912,299 PNAC Public Shares for their pro rata shares of the funds in the Trust Account at a redemption price of $10.60 per share.

Based on the foregoing assumptions, we estimate that there would be 135,698,188 PubCo Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination in the “no redemption” scenario, and 130,785,889 PubCo Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination in the “maximum redemption” scenario. If the actual facts are different from the foregoing assumptions, ownership figures in the combined company and the columns under Post-Business Combination in the table that follows will be different.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

PNAC Relationships and Related Party Transactions

Promissory Note — Related Party

On March 19, 2021, Sponsor A agreed to loan PNAC up to an aggregate amount of $400,000 to be used, in part, for transaction costs incurred in connection with IPO. The note was unsecured, interest-free and due at the earlier of August 31, 2022 or closing of the IPO. The Sponsor A loaned $350,000 under such note which was fully repaid by PNAC upon the closing of the IPO on May 17, 2022 and the note was retired accordingly.

Related Party Loans

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, Sponsors, directors, officers or their affiliates of PNAC may, but are not obligated to, loan PNAC funds as may be required. If PNAC completes an initial Business Combination, it would repay such loaned amounts (the “Working Capital Loans”). In the event that the initial business combination does not close, PNAC may use a portion of the working capital held outside the U.S. based Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Certain amount of such loans may be convertible into working capital shares at $10.00 per share at the option of the lender. The working capital shares would be identical to the shares sold in the Private Placement. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

PNAC Founder Shares

On April 7, 2021, Sponsor A and Sponsor B acquired 1,357,000 and 80,500 shares of PNAC Class B Common Stock, respectively. On May 28, 2021, Sponsor A and Sponsor B surrendered 271,400 and 16,100 shares of PNAC Class B Common Stock, respectively, without consideration. On December 22, 2021, PNAC effected a 1.5 for 1 stock split of Class B common stock resulting the Sponsors holding 1,725,000 shares of PNAC Class B common Stock. On December 28, 2021, the Sponsors converted their shares of PNAC Class B Common Stock into 1,725,000 shares of PNAC Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis (up to 225,000 shares of which are subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part). As a result, Sponsor A owns 1,628,400 shares of PNAC Class A Common Stock for an aggregate consideration of $23,600 and Sponsor B owns 96,600 shares of PNAC Class A Common Stock for an aggregate consideration of $1,400, or PNAC Founder Shares, for an aggregate consideration of $25,000, or approximately $0.01 per share. As a result of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option on May 17, 2022, 112,500 PNAC Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture. On June 3, 2022, the Sponsors executed cancellation notices to the transfer agent to forfeit the remaining 112,500 PNAC Founder Shares for no consideration.

The holders of PNAC Founder Shares have agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their PNAC Founder Shares until, with respect to 50% of the PNAC Founder Shares, the earlier of six months after the consummation of a business combination and the date on which the closing price of the PNAC Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing after a business combination and, with respect to the remaining 50% of the insider shares, until the six months after the consummation of a Business Combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to a business combination, PNAC completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the PNAC stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

247

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PNAC Private Shares

Simultaneously with the IPO, PNAC completed the private sale of 398,892 shares of PNAC Class A Common Stock, or PNAC Private Shares, to the Sponsors, including 349,032 shares to Sponsor A and 49,860 shares to Sponsor B, at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, generating gross proceeds of $3,988,920 (including $3,490,320 from Sponsor A and $498,600 from Sponsor B). The Sponsors have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their PNAC Private Shares until the closing of an initial business combination.

Administrative Services Agreement

PNAC has agreed, commencing on the effective date of the prospectus, to pay Sponsor A up to $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and shared personnel support services. However, pursuant to the terms of such agreement, PNAC may delay payment of such monthly fee upon a determination by the audit committee that there are insufficient funds held outside the trust to pay actual or anticipated expenses in connection with the initial business combination. Any such unpaid amount will accrue without interest and be due and payable no later than the date of the consummation of the initial business combination. This arrangement will terminate upon the earlier of (a) completion of a business combination or (b) twelve months after the completion of the initial public offering. The Company incurred $106,129 and $76,129, respectively, in fees for office space, administrative and shared personnel support services at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

noco-noco and PubCo Relationships and Related Party Transactions

Promissory Note

On August 1, 2020, noco-noco issued a promissory note with 3DOM Alliance (the “Note”). The Note provides for borrowings upon the request of noco-noco, on one or more occasions, up to the principal amount of S$1.0 million ($0.7 million). The principal amount was extended to S$3.0 million ($2.2 million) on January 23, 2023, and further extended to S$8.0 million ($5.8 million) on February 6, 2023. No interest shall accrue to any loans under the Note. There are no payment schedules under the Note; however, the Note must be repaid upon 3DOM Alliance’s request or certain events of default. As of July 13, 2023, we had drawn down an aggregate amount of S$4.47 million ($3.36 million).

Issuance of Shares pursuant to Debt-to-Equity Swaps

On October 22, 2021, noco-noco allotted and issued 15,478 new ordinary shares in its capital, at $100 per share, to 3DOM Alliance, pursuant to a debt-to-equity swap which both parties agreed to convert noco-noco’s debt of $1.5 million owed to 3DOM Alliance into new ordinary shares in the capital of noco-noco.

On July 15, 2022, noco-noco allotted and issued another 759 new ordinary shares in its capital, at the issue price of $1,041.22, to 3DOM Alliance, pursuant to another debt-to-equity swap which both parties agreed to convert noco-noco’s debt of $0.8 million owed to 3DOM Alliance into new ordinary shares in the capital of noco-noco.

2021 License-in Agreement

On August 18, 2021, noco-noco entered into an exclusive, irrevocable license-in agreement (“the 2021 license-in agreement”) with 3DOM Alliance. Pursuant to the agreement, 3DOM Alliance granted a license to certain of its proprietary patents, trademarks and other intellectual properties to noco-noco, in return for royalties of the sum equal to 1.5% of noco-noco’s revenue. The 2021 license-in agreement was amended once on August 29, 2022 and was terminated on November 22, 2022.

License-in Agreement

On November 22, 2022, noco-noco entered into a new exclusive, irrevocable license-in agreement with 3DOM Alliance. Pursuant to such agreement, 3DOM Alliance granted noco-noco the exclusive rights to utilize certain of its proprietary and licensed-in patents and other intellectual property, as well as confidential yet critical know-how and other information for a perpetual term, in return for quarterly royalties equal to

TABLE OF CONTENTS

three percent (3%) of the gross profit generated using each of 3DOM IP Rights. In addition, noco-noco is obligated to pay a one-off, refundable upfront payment of $30 million licensing fee to 3DOM Alliance. Such upfront payment shall be credited against any royalties under the agreement such that the amount of the upfront payment shall be deducted from the royalties when due and payable. In the event that the upfront payment has any remaining amount after the last deduction from the royalties at the end of a five-year period from the last instalment of the upfront payment, the remaining unutilized amount shall be refunded to us at our request. Pursuant to a supplemental agreement to the license-in agreement dated May 10, 2023 (the “Supplemental Agreement”), the upfront payment shall be payable over a series of instalments after the consummation of the Business Combination, in such amounts and pursuant to such repayment schedule as may be agreed between 3DOM Alliance and us. Both parties shall negotiate the instalment plan in good faith, taking into consideration our working capital needs as well as our liquidity and available capital resources after the consummation of the Business Combination. As of the date of the proxy/registration statement, we had not paid any upfront payments to 3DOM Alliance yet. See “noco-noco’s Business — Relationship with 3DOM Alliance” for more details.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DESCRIPTION OF PUBCO SECURITIES

The following description of the material terms of the securities of PubCo following the closing of the Business Combination includes a summary of specified provisions of the Amended PubCo Charter that will be in effect upon closing of the Business Combination. This description is qualified by reference to the Amended PubCo Charter as will be in effect upon consummation of the Business Combination, substantially in the form attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B and incorporated in this proxy statement/prospectus by reference. In this section, the terms “we,” “our” or “us” refer to PubCo following the closing of the Business Combination, and all capitalized terms used in this section are as defined in the Amended PubCo Charter, unless elsewhere defined herein.

PubCo is a Cayman Islands exempted company and its affairs are governed by the Amended PubCo Charter, the Cayman Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands.

PubCo is authorized to issue 500,000,000 ordinary shares, $0.0001 par value each.

PubCo currently has only one class of issued ordinary shares, which have identical rights in all respects and rank equally with one another.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there is [one] PubCo Ordinary Share issued and outstanding.

New Ordinary Shares

General

Holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. None of the holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares have different voting rights from the other holders after the completion of this offering.

Holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares will not have any conversion, pre-emptive or other subscription rights under the Amended PubCo Charter and there will be no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to the PubCo Ordinary Shares.

Dividends

Subject to the foregoing, the payment of cash dividends in the future, if any, will be at the discretion of PubCo’s board of directors and will depend upon such factors as earnings levels, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, PubCo’s overall financial condition, available distributable reserves and any other factors deemed relevant by PubCo’s board of directors. Under Cayman Islands law, a Cayman Islands company may pay a dividend out of either profits (including retained earnings) or share premium, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in PubCo being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of its business.

Even if PubCo’s board of directors decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon PubCo’s future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that PubCo’s board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, PubCo is a holding company and depends on the receipt of dividends and other distributions from its subsidiaries to pay dividends on PubCo Ordinary Shares. When making recommendations on the timing, amount and form of future dividends, if any, PubCo’s board of directors will consider, among other things:

•

PubCo’s results of operations and cash flow;

•

PubCo’s expected financial performance and working capital needs;

•

PubCo’s future prospects;

•

PubCo’s capital expenditures and other investment plans;

•

other investment and growth plans;

250

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

dividend yields of comparable companies globally;

•

restrictions on payment of dividend that may be imposed on us by financing arrangements; and

•

the general economic and business conditions and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors and statutory restrictions on the payment of dividends.

Liquidation

On a winding-up or other return of capital, subject to any special rights attaching to any other class of shares, holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares will be entitled to participate in any surplus assets in proportion to their shareholdings.

Transfers of Shares

Subject to the restrictions contained in the Amended PubCo Charter and the rules or regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange (as defined in the Amended PubCo Charter) or any relevant securities laws, any PubCo shareholders may transfer all or any of his or her PubCo Ordinary Shares by an instrument of transfer in writing and in the usual or common form or in a form prescribed by the Designated Stock Exchange or in any other form approved by the PubCo directors.

The PubCo directors have absolute discretion to decline to register any transfer of PubCo Ordinary Shares which are not fully paid up, or on which PubCo has a lien, and shall upon making any decision to decline to register any transfer of PubCo Ordinary Shares assign an appropriate reason therefor. If PubCo directors refuse to register a transfer of any PubCo Ordinary Shares, they shall within three months after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged with PubCo send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of the refusal. The PubCo directors may also, but are not required to, decline to register any transfer of a PubCo Ordinary Share unless:

•

the instrument of transfer is lodged with PubCo, accompanied by the certificate (if any) for the shares to which it relates and such other evidence as the board may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;

•

the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of shares;

•

the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required;

•

in the case of a transfer to joint holders, the number of joint holders to whom the share is to be transferred does not exceed four;

•

the shares transferred are fully paid up and free of any lien in favor of the PubCo; and

•

any applicable fee of such maximum sum as the designated stock exchanges may determine to be payable, or such lesser sum as the board may from time to time require, related to the transfer is paid to PubCo.

Calls on Shares and Forfeiture of Shares

PubCo’s board of directors may, subject to the terms of allotment, make calls upon shareholders for any amounts unpaid on their PubCo Ordinary Shares. Any PubCo Ordinary Shares that have been called upon and remain unpaid are, after a notice period, subject to forfeiture.

Redemption and Repurchase of Shares

Subject to the provisions of the Cayman Companies Act, and to any rights for the time being conferred on the shareholders holding a particular class of shares, and, where applicable, the rules and regulations of the designated stock exchange, and/or other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under applicable law, PubCo may, by its directors, issue shares that are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at the option of the shareholder holding such redeeming shares or PubCo. The redemption of such shares will be effected in such manner and upon such other terms as PubCo’s directors, determine before the issue of the shares. PubCo may also, with the consent by special resolution of the shareholders holding shares of a

251

TABLE OF CONTENTS

particular class, vary the rights attaching to that class of shares so as to provide that those shares are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at the option of the PubCo on the terms and in the manner which the directors determine at the time of such variation. Subject to compliance with the Cayman Companies Act, PubCo may also purchase its own shares (including any redeemable shares) on such terms and in such manner as the directors may determine and agree with the relevant shareholder(s).

Special Considerations for Exempted Companies

PubCo is an exempted company with limited liability under the Cayman Companies Act. The Cayman Companies Act distinguishes between ordinary resident companies and exempted companies. Any company that is registered in the Cayman Islands but conducts business mainly outside of the Cayman Islands may apply to be registered as an exempted company. The requirements for an exempted company are essentially the same as for an ordinary company except for the exemptions and privileges listed below:

•

an exempted company does not have to file an annual return of its shareholders with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands;

•

an exempted company’s register of members is not open to inspection;

•

an exempted company does not have to hold an annual general meeting;

•

an exempted company may issue shares with no par value;

•

an exempted company may obtain an undertaking against the imposition of any future taxation (such undertakings are usually given for 20 years in the first instance);

•

an exempted company may register by way of continuation in another jurisdiction and be deregistered in the Cayman Islands;

•

an exempted company may register as a limited duration company; and

•

an exempted company may register as a segregated portfolio company.

“Limited liability” means that the liability of each shareholder is limited to the amount unpaid by the shareholder on the shares of the company (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstances in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).

Differences in Company Law

Cayman Islands companies are governed by the Cayman Companies Act. The Cayman Companies Act is derived, to a large extent, from the older Companies Acts of England and Wales but does not follow recent United Kingdom statutory enactments, and accordingly there are significant differences between the Cayman Companies Act and the current Companies Act of the UK. In addition, the Cayman Companies Act differs from laws applicable to United States corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of the material differences between the provisions of the Cayman Companies Act applicable to us and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders.

Mergers and Similar Arrangements

The Cayman Companies Act permits mergers and consolidations between Cayman Islands companies and between Cayman Islands companies and non-Cayman Islands companies provided that the laws of the foreign jurisdiction permit such merger or consolidation. For these purposes, (a) “merger” means the merging of two or more constituent companies and the vesting of their undertaking, property and liabilities in one of such companies as the surviving company, and (b) a “consolidation” means the combination of two or more constituent companies into a new consolidated company and the vesting of the undertaking, property and liabilities of such companies to the consolidated company. In order to effect such a merger or consolidation, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation, which must then be authorized by (a) a special resolution of the shareholders of each constituent company, and (b) such other authorization, if any, as may be specified in such constituent company’s articles of association. The plan must be filed with the Registrar of Companies together with a

252

TABLE OF CONTENTS

declaration as to the solvency of the consolidated or surviving company, a list of the assets and liabilities of each constituent company and an undertaking that a copy of the certificate of merger or consolidation will be given to the shareholders and creditors of each constituent company and that notification of the merger or consolidation will be published in the Cayman Islands Gazette. Court approval is not required for a merger or consolidation which is affected in compliance with these statutory procedures.

A merger between a Cayman parent company and its Cayman subsidiary or subsidiaries does not require authorization by a resolution of shareholders. For this purpose, a subsidiary is a company of which at least 90% of the issued shares entitled to vote are owned by the parent company.

The consent of each holder of a fixed or floating security interest of a constituent company is required unless this requirement is waived by a court in the Cayman Islands.

Except in certain limited circumstances, a dissenting shareholder of a Cayman Islands constituent company is entitled to payment of the fair value of his or her shares upon dissenting from a merger or consolidation. The exercise of such dissenter rights will preclude the exercise by the dissenting shareholder of any other rights to which he or she might otherwise be entitled by virtue of holding shares, except for the right to seek relief on the grounds that the merger or consolidation is void or unlawful.

In addition, there are statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction and amalgamation of companies, provided that the arrangement is approved by seventy-five percent (75%) in value of the shareholders or class of shareholders or creditors, as the case may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting, or meetings, convened for that purpose. The convening of the meetings and subsequently the arrangement must be sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. While a dissenting shareholder has the right to express to the court the view that the transaction ought not to be approved, the court can be expected to approve the arrangement if it determines that:

•

the statutory provisions as to the required majority vote have been met;

•

the shareholders have been fairly represented at the meeting in question and the statutory majority are acting bona fide without coercion of the minority to promote interests adverse to those of the class;

•

the arrangement is such that may be reasonably approved by an intelligent and honest man of that class acting in respect of his interest; and

•

the arrangement is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provision of the Cayman Companies Act.

Squeeze-out Provisions

When a takeover offer is made and accepted by holders of 90% of the shares affected within four months, the offeror may, within a two-month period commencing on the expiration of such four-month period, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares on the terms of the offer. An objection can be made to the Cayman Islands courts, but this is unlikely to succeed unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith or collusion.

If an arrangement and reconstruction is thus approved, or if a takeover offer is made and accepted, a dissenting shareholder would have no rights comparable to appraisal rights, which would otherwise ordinarily be available to dissenting shareholders of Delaware corporations, providing rights to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of the shares.

Further, transactions similar to a merger, reconstruction and/or an amalgamation may in some circumstances be achieved through means other than these statutory provisions, such as a share capital exchange, asset acquisition or control, or through contractual arrangements of an operating business.

Shareholders Suits

Derivative actions have been brought in the Cayman Islands courts, and the Cayman Islands courts have confirmed the availability for such actions. In principle, we will normally be the proper plaintiff to sue for a wrong done to us as a company and as a general rule, a derivative action may not be brought by a

253

TABLE OF CONTENTS

minority shareholder. However, based on English law authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority in the Cayman Islands, the Cayman Islands courts can be expected to follow and apply the common law principles (namely the rule in Foss v. Harbottle and the exceptions thereto) so that a non-controlling shareholder may be permitted to commence a class action against or derivative actions in the name of the company to challenge:

•

an act which is illegal or ultra vires with respect to the company and is therefore incapable of ratification by the shareholders;

•

an act which, although not ultra vires, requires authorization by a qualified (or special) majority (that is, more than a simple majority) which has not been obtained; and

•

an act which constitutes a “fraud on the minority” where the wrongdoers are themselves in control of the company.

Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of Liability

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime, or against the indemnified person’s own fraud or dishonesty. The Amended PubCo Charter provide to the extent permitted by law, PubCo shall indemnify each existing or former secretary, director (including alternate director), and any of PubCo other officers (including an investment adviser or an administrator or liquidator) and their personal representatives against:

•

all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by the existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer in or about the conduct of our business or affairs or in the execution or discharge of the existing or former director’s (including alternate director’s), secretary’s or officer’s duties, powers, authorities or discretions; and

•

without limitation to paragraph (a) above, all costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by the existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceedings (whether threatened, pending or completed) concerning us or our affairs in any court or tribunal, whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere.

No such existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer, however, shall be indemnified in respect of any matter arising out of his own actual fraud, willful default or willful neglect.

To the extent permitted by law, PubCo may make a payment, or agree to make a payment, whether by way of advance, loan or otherwise, for any legal costs incurred by an existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or any of officers of PubCo in respect of any matter identified in above on condition that the director (including alternate director), secretary or officer must repay the amount paid by PubCo to the extent that it is ultimately found not liable to indemnify the director (including alternate director), the secretary or that officer for those legal costs.

This standard of conduct is generally the same as permitted under the DGCL for a Delaware corporation.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to PubCo’s directors, officers, secretaries or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, PubCo has been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Directors’ Fiduciary Duties

Under Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders. This duty has two components: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself or herself of, and

254

TABLE OF CONTENTS

disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. A director must not use his or her corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits self-dealing by a director and mandates that the best interest of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling shareholder and not shared by the shareholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should such evidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fair value to the corporation.

As a matter of Cayman Islands law, a director owes three types of duties to the company: (i) statutory duties, (ii) fiduciary duties, and (iii) common law duties. The Cayman Companies Act imposes a number of statutory duties on a director. A Cayman Islands director’s fiduciary duties are not codified, however the courts of the Cayman Islands have held that a director owes the following fiduciary duties (a) a duty to act in what the director bona fide considers to be in the best interests of the company, (b) a duty to exercise their powers for the purposes they were conferred, (c) a duty to avoid fettering his or her discretion in the future and (d) a duty to avoid conflicts of interest and of duty. The common law duties owed by a director are those to act with skill, care and diligence that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same functions as are carried out by that director in relation to the company and, also, to act with the skill, care and diligence in keeping with a standard of care commensurate with any particular skill they have which enables them to meet a higher standard than a director without those skills. In fulfilling their duty of care to us, the directors must ensure compliance with the company’s articles. PubCo has the right to seek damages where certain duties owed by any of PubCo’s directors are breached.

General Meetings of Shareholders

PubCo may, but shall not (unless required by the Designated Stock Exchange Rules) be obligated to, hold an annual general meeting at such time and place as the board of directors of PubCo will determine. At least 21 clear days’ notice shall be given for of an annual general meeting and at least 14 clear days’ notice shall be given for any other general meeting. The board of directors of PubCo may call extraordinary general meetings, and must convene an extraordinary general meeting upon the requisition of one or more shareholders who together hold at least ten per cent of the rights to vote at such general Meeting. One or more shareholders holding not less than one-third of the PubCo Ordinary Shares carrying the right to vote at such general meeting present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote will be a quorum for all purposes.

Shareholder Action by Written Consent

Under the DGCL, a corporation may eliminate the right of shareholders to act by written consent by amendment to its certificate of incorporation. The Amended PubCo Charter provide that, subject to satisfaction of the requirements therein, shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a written resolution signed by or on behalf of not less than a simple majority of shareholders (in the case of an ordinary resolution) or by all shareholders (in the case of special resolution) who would have been entitled to vote on such matter at a general meeting without a meeting being held.

Shareholder Proposals

Under the DGCL, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with the notice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governing documents, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings.

The Cayman Companies Act provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting, and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company’s articles of association. The Amended PubCo Charter permit one or more shareholders who together hold at least ten per cent of the rights to vote at such general meeting to requisition a general meeting.

255

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Matters Requiring Shareholder Approval

A special resolution, requiring not less than a two-thirds votes (or a unanimous written resolution), is required to:

•

amend the Amended PubCo Charter;

•

register PubCo by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands, or such other jurisdiction in which it is, for the time being, incorporated, registered or existing;

•

validate any prior or future act of the PubCo’s directors which would otherwise be in breach of their duties;

•

release any existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or other officer of PubCo from liability for any loss or damage or right to compensation which may arise out of or in connection with the execution or discharge of the duties, powers, authorities or discretions of his/her office;

•

issue redeemable shares and to purchase own shares;

•

merge or consolidate with one or more constituent companies;

•

reduce PubCo’s share capital in any manner authorized by law;

•

vary the rights attaching to a class of shares of PubCo;

•

change PubCo’s name or amend the PubCo’s memorandum of association; or

•

wind-up PubCo voluntarily.

Cumulative Voting

Under the DGCL, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation specifically provides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholder to cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director. As permitted under Cayman Islands law, the Amended PubCo Charter do not provide for cumulative voting. As a result, PubCo’s shareholders are not afforded any less protections or rights on this issue than shareholders of a Delaware corporation.

Appointment and Removal of Directors

Under the DGCL, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under the Amended PubCo Charter, PubCo’s board may comprise not less than three directors (provided however, may be increased or reduced by Ordinary Resolution) and the maximum number of directors shall be unlimited unless fixed by ordinary resolution. First directors shall be appointed in writing by the subscriber or subscribers to the Amended PubCo Charter, or a majority of them, and thereafter, directors may be appointed and removed by PubCo’s shareholders by ordinary resolution or by the directors. The removal of a director by ordinary resolution may be for any reason and need not be for cause. A director will also cease to be a director if he or she (i) is prohibited by the law of the Cayman Islands from acting as a director; (ii) is made bankrupt or makes an arrangement or composition with his/her creditors generally; (iii) resigns his/her office by notice to the Company; (iv) becomes physically or mentally incapable of acting as a director, in the opinion of a registered medical practitioner by whom he/she is being treated; (v) is made subject to any law relating to mental health or incompetence, whether by court order or otherwise; (vi) is absent from meetings of Directors for a continuous period of six months, without the consent of the other directors; or (vii) is removed from office pursuant to any other provision of the Amended PubCo Charter.

Transactions with Interested Shareholders

The DGCL contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware corporations whereby, unless the corporation has specifically elected not to be governed by such statute under its certificate of

256

TABLE OF CONTENTS

incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain business combinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholder generally is a person or a group who or which owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect of limiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a two-tiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if, among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either a business combination or the transaction which resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware corporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.

Cayman Islands law has no comparable statute. As a result, PubCo cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delaware business combination statute. However, although Cayman Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, it does provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and for a proper corporate purpose and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on the minority shareholders.

Dissolution; Winding Up

Under the DGCL, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding 100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of the corporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority voting requirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board.

Under Cayman Islands law, a company may be wound up by either an order of the courts of the Cayman Islands or by a special resolution of its members or, if the company is unable to pay its debts as they fall due, by an ordinary resolution of its members. The court has authority to order winding up in a number of specified circumstances including where it is, in the opinion of the court, just and equitable to do so.

Under the Amended PubCo Charter, if the Company is wound up, the shareholders may, subject to the provisions of the Amended PubCo Charter and any other sanction required by the Cayman Companies Act, pass a special resolutions allowing the liquidator of PubCo’s company to divide in specie among the PubCo’s shareholders the whole or any part of the assets of PubCo and/or vest the whole or any part of the assets in trustees for the benefit of PubCo’s shareholders and those liable to contribute to the winding up.

Variation of Rights of Shares

Under the DGCL, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise.

Under the Amended PubCo Charter, if PubCo’s share capital is divided into different classes (unless the terms on which a class of shares was issued state otherwise) the rights attached to any such class may, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class, only be varied with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the issued shares of the relevant class, or with the sanction of special resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of such class.

Amendment of Governing Documents

Under the DGCL, a corporation’s governing documents may be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the matter, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise.

As permitted by Cayman Islands law, the Amended PubCo Charter may only be amended by a special resolution of the shareholders.

257

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Rights of Non-Resident or Foreign Shareholders

There are no limitations imposed by the Amended PubCo Charter on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on PubCo’s shares. In addition, there are no provisions in the Amended PubCo Charter governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.

Directors’ Power to Issue Shares

Subject to applicable law, PubCo’s board of directors is empowered to issue or allot shares or grant options and warrants with or without preferred, deferred, or other rights or restrictions. No share may be issued at a discount except in accordance with the provisions of the Cayman Companies Act.

Directors’ Voting Rights

The Amended PubCo Charter provide that its directors may vote on resolutions relating to any contract or proposed contract or arrangement in which he/she is interested (and count as part of the quorum at any meetings where any such contract or proposed contract or arrangement is being considered) provided that such director discloses any material interest in accordance with the terms of the Amended PubCo Charter. This would include, for example, the right to vote on his/her own compensation arrangements (and that of any other director) and any arrangements in respect of such director borrowing money from the Company. The Amended PubCo Charter also permit the directors to exercise all of the powers of PubCo to borrow money and to mortgage or charge its undertaking, property and assets both present and future and uncalled capital, or any part thereof, and to issue debentures and other securities. These provisions may be varied by a shareholders’ special resolution to make corresponding amendments to the Amended PubCo Charter.

The above is also subject to the PubCo directors’ ongoing adherence to their fiduciary duties (including to act in the best interests of the company).

Inspection of Books and Records

Under the DGCL, any shareholder of a corporation may for any proper purpose inspect or make copies of the corporation’s stock ledger, list of shareholders and other books and records.

Holders of PubCo’s shares have no general right under Cayman Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of PubCo’s register of members or PubCo’s corporate records (other than the Amended PubCo Charter, its register of mortgages and charges, and any special resolutions passed by its shareholders).

Changes in Capital

Subject to the Cayman Companies Act, PubCo may from time to time by ordinary resolution:

•

increase its share capital by new shares of the amount fixed by that ordinary resolution and with the attached rights, priorities and privileges set out in that ordinary resolution;

•

consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into shares of larger amount than its existing shares;

•

convert all or any of its paid up shares into stock, and reconvert that stock into paid up shares of any denomination;

•

sub-divide its shares or any of them into shares of an amount smaller than that fixed by Amended PubCo Charter, so, however, that in the sub-division, the proportion between the amount paid and the amount, if any, unpaid on each reduced share shall be the same as it was in case of the share from which the reduced share is derived; and

•

cancel any shares that, at the date of the passing of the ordinary resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the share so canceled, or, in the case of shares without nominal par value, diminish the number of shares into which its capital is divided.

258

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PubCo may by special resolution reduce its share capital in any manner permitted by law.

Warrants

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, each PNAC Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination shall be assumed by PubCo and converted into a PubCo Warrant. Each PubCo Warrant will continue to have and be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such PNAC Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination (including any repurchase rights and cashless exercise provisions).

Enforceability of Civil Liability under Cayman Islands Law

There is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands would (i) recognize, or enforce against PubCo, judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any State; and (ii) entertain original actions brought in each respective jurisdiction against PubCo or PubCo directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any State. In those circumstances, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will in certain circumstances recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without re-examination or retrial of matters adjudicated upon, provide that such judgment (i) is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction; (ii) imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given; (iii) is final; (iv) is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty; (v) was not obtained by fraud; and (vi) is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands. Subject to the above limitations, in appropriate circumstances, a Cayman Islands court may give effect in the Cayman Islands to other kinds of final foreign judgments such as declaratory orders, orders for performance of contracts and injunctions.

Anti-Money Laundering — Cayman Islands

In order to comply with legislation or regulations aimed at the prevention of money laundering, PubCo is required to adopt and maintain anti-money laundering procedures and may require subscribers to provide evidence to verify their identity and source of funds. Where permitted, and subject to certain conditions, PubCo may also delegate the maintenance of PubCo’s anti-money laundering procedures (including the acquisition of due diligence information) to a suitable person.

PubCo reserves the right to request such information as is necessary to verify the identity of a subscriber. In some cases, the directors may be satisfied that no further information is required since an exemption applies under the Anti-Money Laundering Regulations (Revised) of the Cayman Islands, as amended and revised from time to time (the “Regulations”). Depending on the circumstances of each application, a detailed verification of identity might not be required where:

•

the subscriber makes the payment for their investment from an account held in the subscriber’s name at a recognized financial institution; or

•

the subscriber is regulated by a recognized regulatory authority and is based or incorporated in, or formed under the law of, a recognized jurisdiction; or

•

the application is made through an intermediary which is regulated by a recognized regulatory authority and is based in or incorporated in, or formed under the law of a recognized jurisdiction and an assurance is provided in relation to the procedures undertaken on the underlying investors.

For the purposes of these exceptions, recognition of a financial institution, regulatory authority, or jurisdiction will be determined in accordance with the Regulations by reference to those jurisdictions recognized by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority as having equivalent anti-money laundering regulations.

In the event of delay or failure on the part of the subscriber in producing any information required for verification purposes, PubCo may refuse to accept the application, in which case any funds received will be returned without interest to the account from which they were originally debited.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PubCo also reserves the right to refuse to make any redemption payment to a shareholder if PubCo directors or officers suspect or are advised that the payment of redemption proceeds to such shareholder might result in a breach of applicable anti-money laundering or other laws or regulations by any person in any relevant jurisdiction, or if such refusal is considered necessary or appropriate to ensure our compliance with any such laws or regulations in any applicable jurisdiction.

If any person in the Cayman Islands knows or suspects or has reasonable grounds for knowing or suspecting that another person is engaged in criminal conduct or money laundering or is involved with terrorism or terrorist financing and property and the information for that knowledge or suspicion came to their attention in the course of business in the regulated sector, or other trade, profession, business or employment, the person will be required to report such knowledge or suspicion to (i) a nominated officer (appointed in accordance with the Proceeds of Crime Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands) or the Financial Reporting Authority of the Cayman Islands, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act (Revised), if the disclosure relates to criminal conduct or money laundering; or (ii) to a police constable or a nominated officer (pursuant to the Terrorism Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands) or the Financial Reporting Authority, pursuant to the Terrorism Act (Revised), if the disclosure relates to involvement with terrorism or terrorist financing and property. Such a report shall not be treated as a breach of confidence or of any restriction upon the disclosure of information imposed by any enactment or otherwise.

Data Protection — Cayman Islands

PubCo has certain duties under the Data Protection Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands and any regulations, codes of practice, or orders promulgated pursuant thereto (the “DPA”) based on internationally accepted principles of data privacy.

Privacy Notice

Introduction

This privacy notice puts PubCo’s shareholders on notice that through your investment in the Company you will provide us with certain personal information which constitutes personal data within the meaning of the DPA (“personal data”). In the following discussion, the “company” refers to us and PubCo’s affiliates and/or delegates, except where the context requires otherwise.

PubCo is committed to processing personal data in accordance with the DPA. In our use of personal data, PubCo will be characterized under the DPA as a “data controller,” whilst certain of PubCo’s service providers, affiliates, and delegates may act as “data processors” under the DPA.

How PubCo May Use a Shareholder’s Personal Data

By virtue of your investment in PubCo, PubCo and certain of PubCo’s service providers may collect, record, store, transfer, and otherwise process personal data by which individuals may be directly or indirectly identified.

Your personal data will be processed fairly and for lawful purposes, including (a) where the processing is necessary for PubCo to perform a contract to which you are a party or for taking pre-contractual steps at your request, (b) where the processing is necessary for compliance with any legal, tax, or regulatory obligation to which PubCo is subject to, or (c) where the processing is for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by PubCo or by a service provider to whom the data are disclosed. As a data controller, PubCo will only use your personal data for the purposes for which PubCo collected it. PubCo will contact you if PubCo needs to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose.

Why PubCo May Transfer Your Personal Data

PubCo anticipates that PubCo will share your personal data with PubCo’s service providers for the purposes set out in this privacy notice. PubCo may also share relevant personal data where it is lawful to do so and necessary to comply with PubCo’s contractual obligations or your instructions or where it is

necessary or desirable to do so in connection with any regulatory reporting obligations. In exceptional circumstances, PubCo will share your personal data with regulatory, prosecuting, and other governmental agencies or departments, and parties to litigation (whether pending or threatened), in any country or territory including to any other person where we have a public or legal duty to do so (e.g. to assist with detecting and preventing fraud, tax evasion, and financial crime or compliance with a court order).

Your personal data shall not be held by PubCo for longer than necessary with regard to the purposes of the data processing.

PubCo will not sell your personal data. Any transfer of personal data outside of the Cayman Islands shall be in accordance with the requirements of the DPA. Where necessary, PubCo will ensure that separate and appropriate legal agreements are put in place with the recipient of that data.

PubCo will only transfer personal data in accordance with the requirements of the DPA, and will apply appropriate technical and organizational information security measures designed to protect against unauthorized or unlawful processing of the personal data and against the accidental loss, destruction, or damage to the personal data.

Who this Affects

If you are a natural person, this will affect you directly. If you are a corporate investor (including, for these purposes, legal arrangements such as trusts or exempted limited partnerships) that provides us with personal data on individuals connected to you for any reason in relation to your investment into the company, this will be relevant for those individuals and you should inform such individuals of the content of this privacy notice.

What Are Your Rights

You have certain rights under the DPA, including (a) the right to be informed as to how PubCo collects and uses your personal data (and this privacy notice fulfils PubCo’s obligation in this respect), (b) the right to obtain a copy of your personal data, (c) the right to require us to stop direct marketing, (d) the right to have inaccurate or incomplete personal data corrected, (e) the right to withdraw your consent and require us to stop processing or restrict the processing, or not begin the processing of your personal data, (f) the right to be notified of a data breach (unless the breach is unlikely to be prejudicial), (g) the right to obtain information as to any countries or territories outside the Cayman Islands to which PubCo, whether directly or indirectly, transfers, intends to transfer, or wishes to transfer your personal data, general measures PubCo takes to ensure the security of personal data, and any information available to us as to the source of your personal data, (h) the right to complain to the Office of the Ombudsman of the Cayman Islands, and (i) the right to require us to delete your personal data in some limited circumstances.

If you consider that your personal data has not been handled correctly, or you are not satisfied with PubCo’s responses to any requests you have made regarding the use of your personal data, you have the right to complain to the Cayman Islands’ Ombudsman. The Ombudsman can be contacted by calling +1 (345) 946-6283 or by email at info@ombudsman.ky.

Cayman Islands Economic Substance

The Cayman Islands, together with several other non-European Union jurisdictions, have recently introduced legislation aimed at addressing concerns raised by the Council of the European Union as to offshore structures engaged in certain activities which attract profits without real economic activity. With effect from January 1, 2019, the International Tax Co-operation (Economic Substance) Act (Revised) (the “Substance Act”) came into force in the Cayman Islands introducing certain economic substance requirements for in-scope Cayman Islands entities which are engaged in certain “relevant activities,” which in the case of exempted companies incorporated before January 1, 2019, applies in respect of financial years commencing July 1, 2019, onwards. However, it is anticipated that our Company may remain out of scope of the legislation or else be subject to more limited substance requirements.

COMPARISON OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS

This section describes the material differences between the rights of PNAC stockholders before the consummation of the Business Combination, and the rights of PubCo shareholders after the Business Combination. These differences in shareholder rights result from the differences between the respective governing documents of PNAC and PubCo.

This section does not include a complete description of all differences among such rights, nor does it include a complete description of such rights. Furthermore, the identification of some of the differences of these rights as material is not intended to indicate that other differences that may be equally important do not exist. PNAC stockholders are urged to carefully read the relevant provisions of the Amended PubCo Charter that will be in effect as of consummation of the Business Combination (which form is included as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus) to be compared against the Existing PNAC Charter. References in this section to the Amended PubCo Charter are references thereto as they will be in effect upon consummation of the Business Combination. However, the Amended PubCo Charter may be amended at any time prior to consummation of the Business Combination by mutual agreement of PNAC and noco-noco or after the consummation of the Business Combination by amendment by means of a special resolution of PubCo’s shareholders and otherwise in accordance with their terms. If the Amended PubCo Charter are amended, the below summary may cease to accurately reflect the Amended PubCo Charter as so amended.

	Authorized Share Capital
	PNAC authorized share capital consists of (a) 20,100,000 shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”), including (i) 20,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Class A Common Stock”), and (ii) 100,000 shares of Class B Common Stock (the “Class B Common Stock”), and (b) 400,000 shares of preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”), each with a par value of $0.0001 per share.			PubCo authorized share capital is $50,000 divided into 500,000,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares of a par value of $0.0001 each.
	Power to Issue Shares
	PNAC has a multi-class share structure comprising PNAC Class A Common Stock, PNAC Class B Common Stock and PNAC Preferred Stock. PNAC Board is hereby expressly authorized to provide out of the unissued shares of the Preferred Stock for one or more series of Preferred Stock and to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series and to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional, special and other rights, if any, of each such series and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board providing for the issuance of such series and included in a certificate of designation (a “Preferred Stock Designation”) filed pursuant to the DGCL, and the Board is hereby expressly vested with the authority to the full extent provided by law, now or hereafter, to adopt any such resolution or resolutions.			PubCo has a single-class share structure comprising PubCo Ordinary Shares. Subject to the Amended PubCo Charter, all shares for the time being unissued shall be under the control of the PubCo’s board of directors who may issue, allot and dispose of the same to such persons, in such manner, on such terms and having such rights and being subject to such restrictions as they may from time to time determine and grant options with respect to such shares and issue warrants or similar instruments with respect thereto, and for such purposes, the PubCo’s board of directors may reserve an appropriate number of shares for the time being unissued.

Dividends may be declared and paid out of any funds of PubCo lawfully available for distribution.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, PubCo will have, based on the assumptions set out elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, up to 141,584,716 PubCo Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding assuming no redemption by PNAC Public Stockholders. All of the PubCo Ordinary Shares (i) issued to the PNAC stockholders in connection with the Merger other than those issued to PNAC Initial Stockholders and (ii) issued to the Sellers in connection with the Share Exchange other than those issued to noco-noco’s affiliates will be freely transferable by persons without restriction or further registration under the Securities ActSales of substantial amounts of the PubCo Ordinary Shares in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices of the PubCo Ordinary Shares. Prior to the Business Combination, there has been no public market for PubCo Ordinary Shares. PubCo has applied for listing of the PubCo Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq, but there can be no assurance that a regular trading market will develop in the PubCo Ordinary Shares.

Lock-up Agreements

Prior to the Merger Effective Time, the Sellers and the PNAC Initial Stockholders will enter into lock-up agreements with the PNAC and PubCo (the “Lock-up Agreement”). As a result of these lock-up provisions, additional securities of PubCo will be eligible for resale as follows.

Pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreement, PubCo Ordinary Shares held by such holders are categorized as (i) “Group I Lock-up Shares”, referring to the 50% of the total number of PubCo Ordinary Shares that such Seller will receive in connection with the Share Exchange, or 50% of the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares such Holder will receive in converting their PNAC Founder Shares in connection with the Merger, (ii) “Group II Lock-up Shares”, referring to the remaining 50% of the total number of PubCo Ordinary Shares that such Seller will receive in connection with the Share Exchange, or 50% of the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares such Holder will receive in converting its PNAC Founder Shares in connection with the Merger; and (iii) “Group III Lock-up Shares”, referring to the total number of PubCo Ordinary Shares that such Holder will receive in converting its PNAC Private Shares in connection with the Merger. The Group I Lock-Up Shares, Group-II Lock-up Shares, Group-III Lock-up Shares shall be collectively referred as “Lock-up Shares”.

Registration Rights

As provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, PubCo must upon the demand of the registration rights holders, use reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective as soon as practicable thereafter, a

268

TABLE OF CONTENTS

registration statement for a “shelf” registration on Form F-1 (“Form F-1 Shelf”) covering the resale of all registrable securities held by the holders of registration rights on a delayed or continuous basis. Following the filing of the Form F-1 Shelf, PubCo has agreed to use reasonable efforts to convert the Form F-1 Shelf to a shelf registration on Form F-3, and/or to file and cause to become effective a shelf registration on Form F-3, as soon as practicable and in any event after PubCo is eligible to use Form F-3. A majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), may, subject to certain limitations described in the Registration Rights Agreement, make demand for an underwritten offering of all or any portion of their registrable securities pursuant to the shelf, up to certain number of times depending on the type of registrable securities that such holder holds; provided that PubCo will not be required to effectuate (i) with respect to any Tranche A Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), more than an aggregate of one (1) registration pursuant to a demand registration, (ii) with respect to any Tranche B Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), more than an aggregate of one (1) registration pursuant to a demand registration, (iii) with respect to any Tranche C Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), more than an aggregate of one (1) registration pursuant to a demand registration, and (iv) with respect to any Tranche D Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), more than an aggregate of one (1) registration pursuant to a demand registration; provided, however, that a registration shall not be counted for such purposes unless a Form F-1 or any similar long-form registration statement that may be available at such time has become effective and all of the registrable securities requested by the requesting holders to be registered on behalf of the requesting holders in such Form F-1 registration have been sold, in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement. In addition, holders of registrable securities have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed after the expiration of any lock-up to which such securities are subject pursuant to any Lock-Up Agreement, with certain customary exceptions. PubCo will bear all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Rule 144

Pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), a person who has beneficially owned restricted PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities; provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of PubCo’s affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) PubCo is subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and has filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months (or such shorter period as it was required to file reports) preceding the sale.

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Warrants for at least six months but who are PubCo’s affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:

•

one percent (1%) of the total number of PubCo Ordinary Shares then issued and outstanding; or

•

the average weekly reported trading volume of the PubCo Ordinary Shares during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

Sales by PubCo’s affiliates under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about PubCo.

Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies

Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:

•

the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;

•

the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

269

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials); and

•

at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed Form 20-F type information with the SEC, which is expected to be filed promptly after consummation of the Business Combination, reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

Service of Process

PubCo is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability. PubCo was incorporated in the Cayman Islands in order to enjoy the following benefits:

•

political and economic stability;

•

an effective judicial system;

•

a favorable tax system;

•

the absence of exchange control or currency restrictions; and

•

the availability of professional and support services.

However, certain disadvantages accompany incorporation in the Cayman Islands. These disadvantages include:

•

the Cayman Islands has a less exhaustive body of securities laws as compared to the United States and these securities laws provide significantly less protection to investors; and

•

Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States.

The PubCo’s memorandum and articles of association do not contain provisions requiring that disputes, including those arising under the securities laws of the United States, between PubCo, PubCo’s officers, directors and shareholders, be arbitrated.

All of the directors and executive officers of PubCo, and certain of the experts named in this proxy statement/prospectus are residents of non-United States jurisdictions and all or a substantial portion of the assets of such persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons with respect to matters arising under the Securities Act or to enforce against them, in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of United States courts, liabilities predicated upon the United States federal securities laws.

PubCo will appoint [•] as its agent upon whom process may be served in any action brought against it under the securities laws of the United States after the consummation of the Business Transactions.

Enforcement of Civil Liabilities in Cayman Islands

PubCo has been advised by its Cayman Islands legal counsel, Ogier, that there is uncertainty as to whether courts of the Cayman Islands would (i) recognize or enforce judgement of courts of the United States against PubCo or PubCo’s directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States; or (ii) entertain original actions brought in each respective jurisdiction against PubCo or PubCo’s directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States. Ogier has informed PubCo that there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will in certain circumstances recognize and enforce a foreign judgment, without any re-examination or re-litigation of matters adjudicated upon, provided such judgment: (a) is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction; (b) imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given; (c) is final; (d) is not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, (e) was not obtained by fraud; and (f) is not of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands.

Enforcement of Civil Liabilities in Singapore

noco-noco is incorporated in Singapore. It is possible that the courts in Singapore may not (i) recognize and enforce judgments of courts in the United States, based upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state or territory of the United States or (ii) enter judgments in original actions brought in the Singapore courts based solely on the civil liability provisions of these securities laws.

272

TABLE OF CONTENTS

An in personam final and conclusive judgment in the federal or state courts of the United States under which a fixed or ascertainable sum of money is payable may generally be enforced as a debt in the Singapore courts under the common law as long as it is established that the Singapore courts have jurisdiction over the judgment debtor. Additionally, the court where the judgment was obtained must have had international jurisdiction over the party sought to be bound in the local proceedings. However, the Singapore courts are unlikely to enforce a foreign judgment if, amongst others, (a) the foreign judgment is inconsistent with a prior local judgment on the same subject matter that is binding on the same parties; (b) the enforcement of the foreign judgment would contravene the public policy of Singapore; (c) the proceedings in which the foreign judgment was obtained were contrary to principles of natural justice; (d) the foreign judgment was obtained by fraud; or (e) the enforcement of the foreign judgment amounts to the direct or indirect enforcement of a foreign penal, revenue or other public law.

In particular, the Singapore courts may potentially not allow the enforcement of any foreign judgment for a sum payable in respect of taxes, fines, penalties or other similar charges, including the judgments of courts in the United States based upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state or territory of the United States. In respect of civil liability provisions of the United States federal and state securities law which permit punitive damages against us and our directors or executive officers, we are unaware of any decision by the Singapore courts which has considered the specific issue of whether a judgment of a United States court based on such civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state or territory of the United States is enforceable in Singapore.

Enforcement of Civil Liabilities in PRC

Some of PNAC’s directors and officers, and some of the members and affiliates of PNAC’s Sponsors are citizens or residents of PRC. There is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the PRC would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against such individuals or entities affiliated with PNAC or the Sponsors that are predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state in the United States, and entertain original actions brought in the PRC against PNAC, the Sponsors or such individuals or entities that are predicated upon the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state in the United States.

The recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedure Law. PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments under certain circumstances in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedure Law. In addition, under PRC law, a foreign judgment that does not otherwise violate basic legal principles, state sovereignty, safety or social public interest of the PRC may be recognized and enforced by a PRC court, based either on bilateral treaties or international conventions contracted by China and the country where the judgment is made or on reciprocity between jurisdictions. As there currently exists no bilateral treaty, international convention or other form of reciprocity between China and the United States governing the recognition of judgments, including those predicated upon the liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws, it is uncertain whether a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the U.S.

Under the PRC Civil Procedures Law, foreign shareholders may originate actions based on PRC law against PNAC, the Sponsors or such individuals or entities affilitated with PNAC or the Sponsors in the PRC, if they can establish sufficient nexus to the PRC for a PRC court to have jurisdiction, and meet other procedural requirements, including, among others, the plaintiff must have a direct interest in the case, and there must be a concrete claim, a factual basis and a cause for the suit. However, it will be difficult for foreign shareholders to establish sufficient nexus to the PRC by virtue only of being PNAC Stockholders or PubCo Shareholders.

Enforcement of Civil Liabilities in Hong Kong

In addition, PNAC’s CEO and Chairman and certain members or affiliates of the PNAC’s Sponsors are citizens or residents of Hong Kong. Foreign judgments of United States courts will not be directly enforced in Hong Kong as there are currently no treaties or other arrangements providing for reciprocal enforcement of foreign judgments between Hong Kong and the United States. However, the common law permits an action to be brought upon a foreign judgment. That is to say, a foreign judgment itself may form the basis of a cause of action since the judgment may be regarded as creating a debt between the parties to

273

TABLE OF CONTENTS

it. In a common law action for enforcement of a foreign judgment in Hong Kong, the enforcement is subject to various conditions, including but not limited to, the judgment is for a definite sum of money in a civil matter and not in respect of taxes, fines, penalties, or similar charges, the judgment is a final and conclusive and has not been stayed or satisfied in full, the judgment is from a competent court, the judgment was not obtained by fraud, misrepresentation or mistake nor obtained in proceedings which contravenes the rules of natural justice and the enforcement of the judgment is not contrary to public policy in Hong Kong, Hong Kong courts may accept such judgment obtained from a United States court as a debt due under the rules of common law. However, a separate legal action for debt must be commenced in Hong Kong in order to recover such debt from the judgment debtor.

PNAC is being represented by Robinson & Cole LLP with respect to certain legal matters as to United States federal securities and New York State law, and is being represented by Messina Madrid Law PA with respect to certain United States tax law matters.

NOCO-NOCO PTE. LTD.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022
(Amounts expressed in US dollars (“$”) except for numbers of shares)

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The Company incorporated as a Singapore corporation on July 25, 2019 under the name 3DOM (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. The Company is wholly owned by 3DOM Alliance Inc., a Company incorporated in Japan and the ultimate controlling shareholder is Mr. Masataka Matsumara.

On November 9, 2022, the Company changed its name from 3DOM (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. to noco-noco Pte. Ltd.

noco-noco Pte. Ltd. (“we”, “our”, “us” or collectively known as the “Company”) is a platform-solution provider of decarbonization offerings, aiming to truly solve urgent environmental crises through the comprehensive decarbonization of all forms of transportation.

NOTE 2 — LIQUIDITY

As of December 31, 2022 and June 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $3,506,393 and $2,351,743 respectively. The Company incurred net loss of $1,154,650 and $602,828 for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The cash used in operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, was $1,341,532 and $284,800, respectively.

The Company’s liquidity is based on its ability to generate cash from operating activities, obtain capital financing from equity interest investors and borrow funds on favorable economic terms to fund its general operations and capital expansion needs. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to successfully execute its business plan, which includes increasing revenue while controlling operating cost and expenses to generate positive operating cash flows and obtaining funds from outside sources of financing to generate positive financing cash flows. As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s balance of cash and cash equivalents was $214,449. In addition, up to February 6, 2023, the immediate holding Company, 3DOM Alliance Inc, has extended the Promissory Note for the Company with a principal amount up to $6,022,258 (S$8,000,000) and the Company has received financing of $2,243,291 (S$2,980,000) from 3DOM Alliance Inc. Moreover, 3DOM Alliance Inc will not demand for payment on the amounts owing by the Company for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of the financial statements.

Based on cash flows projection from operating and financing activities and existing balance of cash and cash equivalents, management is of the opinion that the Company has sufficient funds for sustainable operations and it will be able to meet its payment obligations from operations and debt related commitments for the next twelve months from the issuance of the financial statements. Moreover, the management can adjust the pace of its operation expansion and control the operating expenses of the Company. Based on the above considerations, the Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities during the normal course of operations.

NOTE 3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

Our financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in U.S. dollars. We have made all the adjustments that we believe are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial statements.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and

F-6

TABLE OF CONTENTS

liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis we review our estimates and assumptions. The estimates were based on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but we do not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position or results of operations

Fiscal Year End

The Company operates on a fiscal year basis with the fiscal year ending on June 30.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Deposit, upfront payments and other receivables

Security deposits paid for office lease are accounted for as deposit. Amounts paid in advance for future expenses are accounted for as prepaid expenses. Goods and Service Tax (“GST”) refunds and collection of proceed from sales of batteries to business partner are accounted for as other receivables.

Property and equipment

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related capitalized assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

			Useful lives
Office equipment			5 years

Other current liabilities

Other current liabilities are liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. They are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Leases

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Share Split

On April 27, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a one-for-twenty shares split of our ordinary shares (“Share Split”). There was no net effect on the total stockholders’ equity, and the par value per share of our ordinary shares remains unchanged at $-0- per share after the Share Split. All references made to share or per share amounts in the accompanying financial statements and applicable disclosures have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effects of the Share Split.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that an entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company does not disaggregate its revenue streams as the economic factors underlying the contracts are similar and provide no significant distinction. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (I) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606 at contract inception, the Company reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations the Company must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company recognizes as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

Comprehensive Income or Loss

ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. For the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company established that there are items that represented components of comprehensive income and, therefore, has included a statement of operations and comprehensive loss in the financial statements.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts, 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 including the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely-than-not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

FASB ASC 740 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’s practice is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Measurement of Fair Value

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that could be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets are marked to bid prices and financial liabilities are marked to offer prices. Fair value measurements do not include transaction costs. A fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is defined in the following three categories:

Level 1: applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3: applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

At December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the Company has no financial assets or liabilities subject to recurring fair value measurements.

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, upfront payments, other receivables, other payables and related payables. Management estimates that the carrying amounts of financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of amounts with immediate holding company is not practicable to estimate due to the related party nature of the underlying transactions.

Net Loss Per Share

The Company has adopted ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” (“EPS”) which requires presentation of basic EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

For the six months ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, the ordinary shares were included in the computation of diluted net loss per share.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss)

Unrealized gains and losses related to foreign currency translation are accumulated in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” (“AOCI”). These changes are also reported in “Other comprehensive income (loss)” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates, which is the Singapore dollars. The financial statements are presented in United States dollars ($), which is the Company’s presentation currency.

Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are remeasured using the current exchange rate for monetary accounts and historical exchange rates for nonmonetary accounts, with exchange differences on remeasurement included in comprehensive income in our Statements of Comprehensive Income.

exchange rates prevailing during the period for revenues and expenses, and (iii) historical exchange rates for equity. Any translation adjustments resulting from this process are shown separately as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within shareholders’ deficit in Balance Sheets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This standard requires a financial asset (or group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. This standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. This guidance will be effective for entities for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2021 and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

We do not expect any other recently issued accounting standards to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows when they become effective.

As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $2,351,743 and $1,274,920 respectively.

The cash used in operating activities for the financial year ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, was $805,177 and $723,307, respectively.

The Company’s liquidity is based on its ability to generate cash from operating activities, obtain capital financing from equity interest investors and borrow funds on favorable economic terms to fund its general operations and capital expansion needs. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to successfully execute its business plan, which includes increasing revenue while controlling operating cost and expenses to generate positive operating cash flows and obtaining funds from outside sources of financing to generate positive financing cash flows. As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s balance of cash and cash equivalents was $81,626. In addition, up to February 6, 2023, the immediate holding Company, 3DOM Alliance Inc, has extended the Promissory Note for the Company with a principal amount up to $6,022,258 (S$8,000,000) and the Company has received financing of $2,243,291 (S$2,980,000) from 3DOM Alliance Inc.

NOTE 7 — LEASES

As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company has operating lease agreement for its office premises. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components of its leases as a single lease component. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Generally, the implicit rate of interest (“discount rate”) in arrangements is not readily determinable and the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is a hypothetical rate based on its understanding of what its credit rating would be. The operating lease ROU asset includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives.

PRIME NUMBER ACQUISITION I CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations

Prime Number Acquisition I Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on February 25, 2021. The Company was formed 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 “initial business combination”). The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, it is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. Activities before May 17, 2022 are related to the formation and IPO, while the activities after May 17, 2022 are mainly focused on searching and identifying the Initial business combination target. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of an initial business combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The Company’s sponsors are Prime Number Acquisition LLC (“Sponsor A”) and Glorious Capital LLC (“Sponsor B”) (collectively the “Sponsors”), both are Delaware limited liability companies.

The registration statement for the Company’s IPO became effective on May 12, 2022. On May 17, 2022, the Company consummated the initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 6,450,000 units (the “Public Units”) which included 450,000 units issued upon the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. The Public Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, with each Public Unit consists of one share (the “Public Shares”) of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Class A common stock”), one half of one warrant, and one right, generating gross proceeds of $64,500,000. Simultaneously with the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of 398,892 shares of the Class A common stock (the “Private Shares”) to the Company’s Sponsors, including 349,032 shares to Sponsor A and 49,860 shares to Sponsor B, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Share, generating gross proceeds of $3,988,920 (including $3,490,320 from Sponsor A and $498,600 from Sponsor B), which is described in Note 4.

Upon the closing of the IPO and the private placement on May 17, 2022, the proceeds of $65,790,000 (or $10.20 per Public Unit) in the aggregate from the IPO and the private placement were placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account” as defined in Note 5) with Wilmington Trust, N.A. acting as trustee and will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. These funds will not be released until the earlier of the completion of the initial business combination or the liquidation due to the Company’s failure to complete an initial business combination within the applicable period of time. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s holders of its outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”). In addition, interest income earned on the funds in the Trust Account may be released to the Company to pay its income or other tax obligations. With these exceptions, expenses incurred by the Company may be paid prior to an Initial business combination only from the net proceeds of the IPO and private placement not held in the Trust Account.

Pursuant to Nasdaq listing rules, the Company’s initial business combination must occur with one or more target businesses having an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80% of the value of the funds in the Trust Account (excluding any deferred underwriting discounts and commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account), which the Company refers to as the 80% test, at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for its initial business combination, although the Company may structure an initial business combination with one or more target businesses whose fair market value significantly exceeds 80% of the Trust Account balance. If the Company is no longer listed on Nasdaq, it will not be required to satisfy the 80% test. The Company will only complete an initial business combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the

F-35

TABLE OF CONTENTS

target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of an initial business combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the initial business combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of an initial business combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.20 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company) to pay its franchise and income tax obligations.

If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing an initial business combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with an initial business combination, the Company’s Sponsors and any of the Company’s officers or directors that may hold Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) (the “Initial Stockholders”) have agreed (a) to vote their Founder Shares, the Private Shares, and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of approving an initial business combination and (b) not to convert any shares (including the Founder Shares) in connection with a stockholder vote to approve, or sell the shares to the Company in any tender offer in connection with, a proposed initial business combination.

The Company’s Initial Stockholders have agreed (A) to vote their Founder Shares, Private Shares and any Public Shares they own in favor of any proposed initial business combination, (B) not to propose, or vote in favor of, prior to and unrelated to an initial business combination, an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s redemption obligation to redeem all public shares if the Company cannot complete an initial business combination within the Combination Period (as defined below), unless the Company provides Public Stockholders an opportunity to redeem their public shares in conjunction with any such amendment, (C) not to redeem any shares, including Founder Shares, Private Shares and any Public Shares they own into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection with a stockholder vote to approve the Company’s proposed initial business combination or sell any shares to the Company in any tender offer in connection with its proposed initial business combination, and (D) that the Founder Shares and Private Shares shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if an initial business combination is not consummated.

If the Company seeks stockholder approval of an initial business combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold the IPO.

The Initial Stockholders and underwriters have agreed (a) to waive their redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares, Private Shares, and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of an initial business combination and (b) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete an initial business combination, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Under the Company’s then effective Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company would have until May 17, 2023 (or November 17, 2023 if the Company extends the period of time to consummate an initial business combination) to consummate an initial business combination. On May 15, 2023, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the stockholders of the Company approved the proposal to amend the Company’s then effective Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to (i) allow the Company until May 17, 2023 to consummate an initial business combination, and to (ii) elect to extend the period to consummate an initial business combination up to six times, each by an additional one-month period, for a total of up to six months to November 17, 2023 (“Extended Termination Date”), by depositing to the Company’s Trust Account the amount lesser of (i) $125,000 for each one-month extension or (ii) $0.045 for each Public Share for each one-month extension (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”). Upon the stockholders’ approval, on May 17, 2023, the Company filed a certificate of amendment (the “Charter”) to the then effective Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation which became effective upon filing on the same date, pursuant to which, the Company may elect to extend the period to consummate an initial business combination up to six times, each by an additional one-month period (each, a “Monthly Extension”), for a total of up to six months to November 17, 2023, by depositing to the Trust Account $125,000 for each one-month extension.

In connection with the votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, 1,537,701 Public Shares of the Company were tendered for redemption. As of May 22, 2023, all such Public Shares are in the process of redemption by our transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC, which shall result in a total of 4,912,299 Public Shares, or 6,923,691 Class A Common Stock remaining after the consummation of such process.

On May 17, 2023, an aggregate of $125,000 was deposited into the Trust Account for the public stockholders, resulting in an extension of the period of time we have to consummate the initial business combination by one month from May 17, 2023 to June 17, 2023 (the “First Monthly Extension”).

Under the Company’s Charter effective on May 17, 2023 and after the Extension, the Company would now have until June 17, 2023 (or November 17, 2023 if the Company extends the period of time to consummate an initial business combination) to consummate an initial business combination (the “Combination Period”).

If the Company is unable to complete an initial business combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and less interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Private Shares if the Company fails to complete an initial business combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Stockholders acquire Public Shares in or after the IPO, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete an initial business combination within the Combination Period. The Underwriters (as defined in Note 5) have agreed to waive their rights to their Deferred Underwriting Commissions (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete an initial business combination within in the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than $10.20.

agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.20 per Public Share or (ii) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of 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 our indemnity of the Underwriters of this IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, then the Sponsors will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims.

On December 29, 2022, the Company, Prime Number Merger Sub Inc. ( “Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation, NOCO-NOCO PTE. LTD (“noco-noco”), a Singapore private company limited by shares, and certain shareholders of noco-noco (“Sellers”) entered into the Business Combination Agreement (“the Business Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which, (i) the Company shall merge with and into Merger Sub, with the Company being the surviving company and a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo, a Cayman Islands company to be formed pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and (ii) following the merger, New SubCo, a Singapore private company to be formed pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Sellers, in exchange for PubCo to issue to the Sellers PubCo Ordinary Shares. Collectively, all the transactions provided in the Business Combination Agreement shall be referred as the Business Combination.

On February 2, 2023, Prime Number Holding Limited, formed as the PubCo on December 28, 2022, and Prime Number New Sub Pte. Ltd., formed as New SubCo on January 25, 2023, joined as parties to the Business Combination Agreement.

On May 17, 2023, the registration statement on Form F-4 was submitted to the SEC regarding the proposed Business Combination between the Company and noco-noco.

Going Concern

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had cash of $99,790 and a working capital deficit of $54,837 (excluding investments held in trust account, deferred underwriting fee payable, deferred income tax liability and taxes payable). The Company’s liquidity needs up to the closing of the IPO on May 17, 2022 had been satisfied through proceeds from notes payable and advances from a related party and from the issuance of common stock.

On May 15, 2023, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to allow an extension to November 17, 2023 on a month-by-month basis. On May 17, 2023, the Company deposited $125,000 into the Trust Account to extend time to consummate the business combination by one month to June 17, 2023. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate an initial business combination by this time. If an initial business combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an initial business combination, the Company’s Sponsors or an affiliate of the Sponsors or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company with working capital. The Company’s management plans to continue its efforts to complete an initial business combination within the Combination Period.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern,” management has

F-38

TABLE OF CONTENTS

determined that mandatory liquidation, should an initial business combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance of the financial statements.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s future financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, there has not been a significant impact as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the future outcome of this uncertainty.

Additionally, as a result of the military action commenced in February 2022 by the Russian Federation and Belarus in the country of Ukraine and related economic sanctions, the Company’s ability to consummate an initial business combination, or the operations of a target business with which the Company ultimately consummates an initial business combination, may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, the Company’s ability to consummate a transaction may be dependent on the ability to raise equity and debt financing which may be impacted by these events, including as a result of increased market volatility, or decreased market liquidity in third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy and the specific impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and/or ability to consummate an initial business combination are not yet determinable. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded domestic (i.e., U.S.) corporations and certain domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. The IR Act applies only to repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022.

Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with an initial business combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with an initial business combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the initial business combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of an initial business combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with an initial business combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with an initial business combination but issued within the same taxable year of an initial business combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined; however, the Company will not use the funds held in the Trust Account or any additional amounts deposited into the Trust Account, as well as any interest earned thereon, to pay the excise tax, if any. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete an initial business combination and in the Company’s ability to complete an initial business combination.

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the

F-39

TABLE OF CONTENTS

rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered for a fair presentation have been included.

These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2022, which are included in Form 10-K filed on April 3, 2023.

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”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

In preparing these financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, the Company’s management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported 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 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 and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had $99,790 and $278,295 in cash as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and none in cash equivalents for both periods.

Investments Held in Trust Account

As of March 31, 2023, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in cash and U.S. Treasury securities. The Company classifies its U.S. Treasury securities as trading securities in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 320,

F-40

TABLE OF CONTENTS

“Investments — Debt and Equity Securities.” Trading securities are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in gain on investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying statement of operations. The estimated fair values of all assets held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information and classified as Level 1 measurements.

Offering Costs Associated with the IPO

The Company complies with the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”) Topic 340-10-S99-1, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs — SEC Materials” (“ASC 340-10-S99”) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering”. Deferred offering costs were $4,117,889 consisting principally of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses that are directly related to the IPO and charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO.

Upon completion of the IPO, offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the IPO based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to the warrants and rights were charged to equity. Offering costs allocated to the common stocks were charged against the carrying value of common stocks subject to possible redemption upon the completion of the IPO.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the unaudited condensed financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC 740 -270-25-2 requires that an annual effective tax rate be determined and such annual effective rate applied to year to date income in interim periods under ASC 740-270-30-5. The Company’s effective tax rate was 36.61% and 0.00% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 primarily due to the non-deductible transaction costs.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position 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. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.

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 March 31, 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.

The Company has identified the United States as its only “major” tax jurisdiction.

The Company may be subject to potential examination by federal and state taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

forfeiture by the Initial Stockholders. Weighted average shares were reduced for the effect of the forfeiture of 112,500 Founder Shares as a result of the Underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option on May 17, 2022. On June 3, 2022, the Sponsors executed cancellation notices to the transfer agent to forfeit the remaining 112,500 shares for no consideration. The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share and related weighted average of the shares does not consider the effect of the warrants and rights issued in connection with the (i) IPO, and (ii) the private placement since the exercise of the warrants and rights are contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The warrants are exercisable to purchase 3,225,000 shares of Class A Common Stock in the aggregate, and the rights are exercisable to convert 806,250 shares of Class A Common Stock in the aggregate. At March 31, 2023, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into shares of common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted income (loss) per share is the same as basic loss per share for the period presented.

The net income (loss) per share presented in the statements of operations is based on the following:

	Three Months Ended March 31,

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 825, “Financial Instruments,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common 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 quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding. The Company determined that upon further review of the warrant agreement, the Public Warrants issued pursuant to the warrant agreement qualify for equity accounting treatment.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, common stock subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value of $10.45 and $10.34 per share as temporary equity, respectively, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of shares of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital or accumulated deficit if additional paid in capital equals to zero.

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 the Company and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. 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.

Note 3 — Initial Public Offering

Pursuant to the IPO on May 17, 2022, the Company sold 6,450,000 Public Units which included 450,000 units issued upon the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Each Public Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”), each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, and one right (the “Public Rights”), each one Public Right entitling the holder thereof to exchange for one-eighth (1/8) of one Class A Common Stock upon the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. Because the Warrants may only be exercised for whole numbers of shares, only an even number of Warrants may be exercised. The Warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination or 12 months from the closing of the IPO, and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Each Right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-eighth (1/8) of one share of Class A common stock at the closing of an initial business combination. The Company will not issue fractional shares in connection with an exchange of Rights. Fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL. As a result, the holder of the Rights must hold Rights in multiples of eight (8) in order to receive shares of Class A common stock for all of their rights upon closing of an initial business combination.

All of the 6,450,000 Public Shares sold as part of the Public Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the initial business combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or in connection with the Company’s liquidation. In accordance with the SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity.

The Company’s redeemable Class A common stock is subject to SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to recognize the changes immediately. The accretion or remeasurement is treated as a deemed dividend (i.e., a reduction to retained earnings, or in absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in capital).

As of March 31, 2023, the shares of Class A common stock reflected on the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table.

Note 4 — Private Placement

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company sold an aggregate of 398,892 Private Shares, including 349,032 shares to Sponsor A and 49,860 shares to Sponsor B, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Share, generating gross proceeds of $3,988,920 (including $3,490,320 from Sponsor A and $498,600 from Sponsor B). The net proceeds from the Private Shares were added to the proceeds from the IPO to be held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete an initial business combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Shares will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Share will expire worthless.

Note 5 — Related Party Transactions

Promissory Note — Related Party

On March 19, 2021, Sponsor A agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate amount of $400,000 to be used, in part, for transaction costs incurred in connection with IPO (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note is unsecured, interest-free and due at the earlier of August 31, 2022 or closing of the IPO. The Company repaid the $350,000 outstanding balance upon the closing of the IPO on May 17, 2022.

Related Party Loans

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, the Initial Stockholders or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If the Company completes an initial business combination, it would repay such loaned amounts (the “Working Capital Loans”). In the event that the initial business combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the U.S. based Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Certain amount of such loans may be convertible into working capital shares at $10.00 per share at the option of the lender. The working capital shares would be identical to the shares sold in the private placement. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Founder Shares

On April 7, 2021, Sponsor A and Sponsor B acquired 1,357,000 shares and 80,500 shares of Class B common stock, respectively. On May 28, 2021, Sponsor A and Sponsor B surrendered 271,400 and 16,100 shares of Class B common stock, respectively, without consideration. On December 22, 2021, the Company effected a 1.5 for 1 stock split of Class B common stock resulting the Sponsors holding 1,725,000 shares of Class B common stock. On December 28, 2021, the Sponsors converted their shares of Class B common stock into 1,725,000 shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis (up to 225,000 shares of which are subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part). As a result, Sponsor A owns 1,628,400 shares of Class A common stock for an aggregate consideration of $23,600 and Sponsor B owns 96,600 shares of Class A common stock for an aggregate consideration of $1,400 (collectively “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate consideration of $25,000, or approximately $0.01 per share. As a result of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option on May 17, 2022, 112,500 Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture. On June 3, 2022, the Sponsors executed cancellation notices to the transfer agent to forfeit the remaining 112,500 shares for no consideration.

Shares, until the six months after the consummation of an initial business combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to an initial business combination, the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company has agreed, commencing on May 12, 2022, to pay Sponsor A up to $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and shared personnel support services. However, pursuant to the terms of such agreement, the Company may delay payment of such monthly fee upon a determination by the audit committee that there are insufficient funds held outside the trust to pay actual or anticipated expenses in connection with the initial business combination. Any such unpaid amount will accrue without interest and be due and payable no later than the date of the consummation of the initial business combination. This arrangement will terminate upon the earlier of (a) completion of an initial business combination or (b) twelve months after the completion of the IPO. The Company incurred $106,129 and $76,129, respectively, in fees for these services, of which $106,129 and $76,129 were included in accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheets at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Shares and working capital shares issuable upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of this offering, requiring us to register such securities for resale. The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form 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 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. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company has granted Prime Number Capital, LLC and WestPark Capital, Inc. (collectively referred to as the “Underwriters”), a 45-day option from the date of the prospectus to purchase up to 900,000 Public Units (one share of Class A common stock, one-half (1/2) of one redeemable Warrant, and one Right) (“Over-allotment Units”) to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On May 17, 2022, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Underwriters partially exercised its over-allotment option to purchase 450,000 Over-allotment Units, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $4,500,000.

The Underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of 2.0% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $1,290,000. In addition, the underwriters will be entitled to a deferred fee of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $2,257,500 (the “Deferred Underwriting Commissions”), which will be paid upon the closing of an initial business combination from the amounts held in the Trust Account, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Note 7 — Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 400,000 shares (reduced from 1,000,000 shares subsequent to IPO on May 10, 2022) of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share and 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 March 31, 2023, there was no preferred stock issued or outstanding.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

into 1,725,000 shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. As a result of the Underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option on May 17, 2022, 112,500 Founder Shares were forfeited on May 23, 2022. As of March 31, 2023, there were 2,011,392 shares of common stock issued and outstanding (excluding 6,450,000 shares subject to possible redemption), so that the Initial Stockholders own approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding shares after the IPO.

Class B Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 100,000 shares (reduced from 2,000,000 shares subsequent to IPO on May 10, 2022) of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. On December 22, 2021, the Company effected a 1.5 for 1 stock split of our Class B common stock so that the Sponsors owned an aggregate of 1,725,000 shares of Class B common stock. On December 28, 2021, the Sponsors converted their shares of Class B common stock into 1,725,000 shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis (up to 225,000 shares of which are subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised). As of March 31, 2023, there was no Class B common stock issued or outstanding.

Rights — Each holder of a right (the “Rights”) will receive one-eighth (1/8) of one share of Class A common stock upon consummation of an initial business combination, even if the holder of such Right redeemed all shares held by it in connection with an initial business combination. No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion of the rights. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of rights in order to receive its additional shares upon consummation of an initial business combination, as the consideration related thereto has been included in the unit purchase price paid for by investors in the IPO. If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for an initial business combination in which the Company will not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of rights to receive the same per share consideration the holders of the common stock will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into common stock basis and each holder of a Right will be required to affirmatively covert its Rights in order to receive 1/8 share underlying each Right (without paying additional consideration). The shares issuable upon conversion of the Rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of the Company).

If the Company is unable to complete an initial business combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Rights will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Rights, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Rights, and the Rights will expire worthless. Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities to the holders of the Rights upon consummation of an initial business combination. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Rights. Accordingly, the Rights may expire worthless.

Warrants — Each redeemable warrant (the “Warrant”) entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described in this prospectus. The Warrants will become exercisable on the later of the completion of an initial business combination and 12 months from the closing of the IPO. However, no Public Warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the issuance of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating to such common stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the issuance of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective within 90 days from the closing of the Company’s initial business combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise Warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. If an exemption from registration is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis. The Warrants will expire five years from the closing of the Company’s initial business combination at 5:00 p.m., New York City time or earlier redemption.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the Company’s initial business combination (net of redemption), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s Class A common stock 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 Price”) 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 Market Price, and the $16.50 per share redemption trigger price described below will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the greater of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

The Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants at any time while the Warrants are exercisable:

•

in whole and not in part;

•

at a price of $0.01 per Warrant;

•

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, which the Company refers to as the 30-day redemption period;

•

if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $16.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) 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 to the warrant holders.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the whole warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants.

Except as described above, no warrants will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue common stock unless at the time a holder seeks to exercise such warrant, a prospectus relating to the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is current and the common stock have been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the warrants. Under the terms of the warrant agreement, the Company has agreed to use its best efforts to meet these conditions and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants. However, the Company cannot assure that it will be able to do so and, if the Company does not maintain a current prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, holders will be unable to exercise their warrants and the Company will not be required to settle any such warrant exercise. If the prospectus relating to the Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is not current or if the common stock is not qualified or exempt from qualification in the jurisdictions in which the holders of the warrants reside, the Company will not be required to net cash settle or cash settle the warrant exercise, the warrants may have no value, the market for the warrants may be limited and the warrants may expire worthless.

Note 8 — Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of the Company’s consolidated 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 liabilities 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:

F-48

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Level 1:

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2:

Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs based on the assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following tables present information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, which indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

Note 9 — Subsequent Events

In accordance with ASC 855, “Subsequent Events,” the Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued. Based on the review as further disclosed in the footnotes, management identified the following subsequent event requiring disclosure in the financial statements.

On April 23, 2023, DBG Global Limited, a member of Sponsor A, loaned the Company up to $24,000 to be used for a portion of the working capital. This loan is non-interest bearing, unsecured and is due at the earlier of (1) the date on which the Company consummates its initial business combination or (2) the date on which the Company liquidates.

On May 15, 2023, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the stockholders of the Company approved the proposal to amend the Company’s then effective Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to (i) allow the Company until May 17, 2023 to consummate an initial business combination, and to (ii) elect to extend the period to consummate an initial business combination up to six times, each by an additional one-month period, for a total of up to six months to November 17, 2023 (“Extended Termination Date”), by depositing to the Company’s Trust Account the amount lesser of (i) $125,000 for each one-month extension or (ii) $0.045 for each Public Share for each one-month extension.

In connection with the votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, 1,537,701 Public Shares of the Company were tendered for redemption. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, all such Public Shares are in the process of redemption by our transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC, which shall result in a total of 4,912,299 Public Shares remaining after the consummation of such process.

On May 15, the Company released a press release announcing its intent to extend the deadline that it must complete its initial business combination from May 17, 2023 to June 17, 2023 and its intent to cause the Sponsor or its designee to deposit an aggregate of $125,000 into the Trust Account.

F-49

TABLE OF CONTENTS

On May 17, 2023, $125,000 was deposited into the Trust Account for the public stockholders to effectuate the First Monthly Extension. Accordingly, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note of $208,594.15 (the “noco-noco Note”) noco-noco to evidence the payments made by noco-noco for the First Monthly Extension payment and 50% of the registration fee for filing of a registration statement/proxy statement in Form F-4 with the U.S. securities and exchange commission. The noco-noco Note bears no interest and is payable in full upon the earlier to occur of (i) the consummation of an initial business combination or (ii) the date of expiry of the term of the Company, in cash or shares of the Company at $10.00 per share, at the discretion of the note holder.

Note 10 — Events Subsequent to the Date of the Form 10-Q filed on May 22, 2023

On June 14, 2023, an aggregate of $125,000 (the “Monthly Extension Payment”) was deposited by noco-noco upon request by the sponsors of the Company, into the Trust Account of the Company, as a result of which, the Company has extended the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination by one month from June 17, 2023 to July 17, 2023 (the “June Extension”). The June Extension is the second of the six one-month extensions permitted under the Existing PNAC Charter.

In connection with the Monthly Extension Payment, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note of $125,000 (the “June Extension Note”) to noco-noco. The June Extension Note is non-interest bearing and payable (subject to the waiver against trust provisions) on the earlier of (i) consummation of the Company’s initial business combination and (ii) the date of the liquidation of the Company. The principal balance may be prepaid at any time, at the election of the Company. The holder of the June Extension Note has the right, but not the obligation, to convert the Note, in whole or in part, respectively, into private placement shares (the “Working Capital Shares”) of the Company, by providing the Company with written notice of its intention to convert the Note at least two business days prior to the closing of the Company’s initial business combination. The number of Working Capital Shares to be received by the holder in connection with such conversion shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to the holder, by (y) $10.00.

On July 14, 2023, an additional Monthly Extension Payment was deposited by noco-noco upon request by the sponsors of the Company, into the Trust Account of the Company, as a result of which, the Company has extended the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination by one month from July 17, 2023 to August 17, 2023 (the “July Extension”). The July Extension is the third of the six one-month extensions permitted under the Existing PNAC Charter.

In connection with the Monthly Extension Payment, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note of $125,000 (the “July Extension Note”) to noco-noco. The terms of the July Extension Note is substantively the same with the June Extension Note, except with regard to the change of the execution date of the July Extension Note.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Prime Number Acquisition I Corp.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Prime Number Acquisition I Corp. (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022 and for the period from February 25, 2021 (inception) to December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022, and for the period from February 25, 2021 (inception) to December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has no revenue, its business plan is dependent on the completion of a financing transaction and the Company’s cash and working capital are not sufficient to complete its planned activities one year from the issuance of the financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations

Prime Number Acquisition I Corp. (the “Company”) is a newly organized blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on February 25, 2021. The Company was formed 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”). The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, it is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had not commenced any operations. Activities before May 17, 2022 are related to the formation and IPO, while the activities after May 17, 2022 are mainly focused on searching and identifying the Business Combination target. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The Company’s sponsors are Prime Number Acquisition LLC (“Sponsor A”) and Glorious Capital LLC (“Sponsor B”) (collectively the “Sponsors”), both are Delaware limited liability companies.

Upon the closing of the IPO and the private placement on May 17, 2022, the proceeds of $65,790,000 (or $10.20 per Public Unit) in the aggregate from the IPO and the private placement were placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account” as defined in Note 5) with Wilmington Trust, N.A. acting as trustee and will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. These funds will not be released until the earlier of the completion of the initial Business Combination or the liquidation due to the Company’s failure to complete a Business Combination within the applicable period of time. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s holders of its outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”). In addition, interest income earned on the funds in the Trust Account may be released to the Company to pay its income or other tax obligations. With these exceptions, expenses incurred by the Company may be paid prior to a Business Combination only from the net proceeds of the IPO and private placement not held in the Trust Account.

Pursuant to Nasdaq listing rules, the Company’s initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses having an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80% of the value of the funds in the Trust Account (excluding any deferred underwriting discounts and commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account), which the Company refers to as the 80% test, at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for its initial Business Combination, although the Company may structure a Business Combination with one or more target businesses whose fair market value significantly exceeds 80% of the Trust Account balance. If the Company is no longer listed on Nasdaq, it will not be required to satisfy the 80% test. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or

F-56

TABLE OF CONTENTS

otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.20 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company) to pay its franchise and income tax obligations.

If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsors and any of the Company’s officers or directors that may hold Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) (the “Initial Stockholders”) have agreed (a) to vote their Founder Shares, the Private Shares, and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of approving a Business Combination and (b) not to convert any shares (including the Insider Shares) in connection with a stockholder vote to approve, or sell the shares to the Company in any tender offer in connection with, a proposed Business Combination.

The Company’s Initial Stockholders have agreed (A) to vote their Founder Shares, Private Shares and any Public Shares they own in favor of any proposed Business Combination, (B) not to propose, or vote in favor of, prior to and unrelated to an initial Business Combination, an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s redemption obligation to redeem all public shares if the Company cannot complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below), unless the Company provides Public Stockholders an opportunity to redeem their public shares in conjunction with any such amendment, (C) not to redeem any shares, including Founder Shares, Private Shares and any Public Shares they own into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection with a stockholder vote to approve the Company’s proposed initial Business Combination or sell any shares to the Company in any tender offer in connection with its proposed initial Business Combination, and (D) that the Founder Shares and Private Shares shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated.

If the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold the IPO.

The Initial Stockholders and underwriters have agreed (a) to waive their redemption rights with respect to the Insider Shares, Private Shares, and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

F-57

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Company will have until May 17, 2023 (or November 17, 2023 if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a Business Combination) to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and less interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Private Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Stockholders acquire Public Shares in or after the IPO, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The Underwriters (as defined in Note 5) have agreed to waive their rights to their Deferred Underwriting Commissions (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within in the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than $10.20.

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsors have agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.20 per Public Share or (ii) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of 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 our indemnity of the Underwriters of this IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, then the Sponsors will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims.

On December 29, 2022, the Company, Prime Number Merger Sub Inc. ( “Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation, NOCO-NOCO PTE. LTD (“noco-noco”), a Singapore private company limited by shares, and certain shareholders of noco-noco (“Sellers”) entered into the Business Combination Agreement (“the Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, (i) the Company shall merge with and into Merger Sub, with the Company being the surviving company and a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo, a Cayman Islands company to be formed pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and (ii) following the merger, New SubCo, a Singapore private company to be formed pursuant to the Merger Agreement, will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Sellers, in exchange for PubCo to issue to the Sellers PubCo Ordinary Shares.

Going Concern

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had cash of $278,295 and a working capital of $313,675 (excluding investments held in trust account, deferred underwriting fee payable, deferred income tax liability and taxes payable). The Company’s liquidity needs up to the closing of the IPO on May 17, 2022 had been satisfied through proceeds from notes payable and advances from a related party and from the issuance of common stock.

The Company has 12 months from the closing of the IPO to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution.

F-58

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company with working capital. The Company’s management plans to continue its efforts to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

If the estimated costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to its Business Combination. Moreover, the Company may need to obtain additional financing either to complete its Business Combination or because it becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of public shares upon consummation of its Business Combination, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Company would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern,” management has determined that mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance of the financial statements.

Risks and Uncertainties

Additionally, as a result of the military action commenced in February 2022 by the Russian Federation and Belarus in the country of Ukraine and related economic sanctions, the Company’s ability to consummate a Business Combination, or the operations of a target business with which the Company ultimately consummates a Business Combination, may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, the Company’s ability to consummate a transaction may be dependent on the ability to raise equity and debt financing which may be impacted by these events, including as a result of increased market volatility, or decreased market liquidity in third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy and the specific impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and/or ability to consummate a Business Combination are not yet determinable. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances

F-59

TABLE OF CONTENTS

in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had $278,295 and $125,303 in cash as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and none in cash equivalents for both periods.

Investments Held in Trust Account

As of December 31, 2022, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in cash and U.S. Treasury securities. The Company classifies its U.S. Treasury securities as trading securities in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 320, “Investments — Debt and Equity Securities.” Trading securities are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in gain on investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying statement of operations. The estimated fair values of all assets held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information and classified as Level 1 measurements.

Deferred Offering Costs

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “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. ASC 740 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 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. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

The Company has identified the United States as its only “major” tax jurisdiction.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding shares of common stock subject to forfeiture by the Initial Stockholders. Weighted average shares were reduced for the effect of the forfeiture of

F-61

TABLE OF CONTENTS

112,500 Founder Shares as a result of the Underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option on May 17, 2022. On June 3, 2022, the Sponsors executed cancellation notices to the transfer agent to forfeit the remaining 112,500 shares for no consideration. The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share and related weighted average of the shares does not consider the effect of the warrants and rights issued in connection with the (i) IPO, and (ii) the private placement since the exercise of the warrants and rights are contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The warrants are exercisable to purchase 3,225,000 shares of Class A Common Stock in the aggregate, and the rights are exercisable to convert 806,250 shares of Class A Common Stock in the aggregate. At December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into shares of common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted income (loss) per share is the same as basic loss per share for the period presented.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2022, common stock subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value of $10.34 per share as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of shares of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital or accumulated deficit if additional paid in capital equals to zero.

Note 3 — Initial Public Offering

Pursuant to the IPO on May 17, 2022, the Company sold 6,450,000 Public Units which included 450,000 units issued upon the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Each Public Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”), each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, and one right (the “Public Rights”), each one Public Right entitling the holder thereof to exchange for one-eighth (1/8) of one Class A Common Stock upon the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination. Because the Warrants may only be exercised for whole numbers of shares, only an even number of Warrants may be exercised. The Warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the IPO, and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Each Right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-eighth (1/8) of one share of Class A common stock at the closing of a Business Combination. The Company will not issue fractional shares in connection with an exchange of Rights. Fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL. As a result, the holder of the Rights must hold Rights in multiples of eight (8) in order to receive shares of Class A common stock for all of their rights upon closing of a Business Combination.

All of the 6,450,000 Public Shares sold as part of the Public Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or in connection with the Company’s liquidation. In accordance with the SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity.

As of December 31, 2022, the shares of Class A common stock reflected on the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table.

	As of December 31, 2022
Gross proceeds		$	64,500,000

Note 4 — Private Placement

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company sold an aggregate of 398,892 Private Shares, including 349,032 shares to Sponsor A and 49,860 shares to Sponsor B, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Share, generating gross proceeds of $3,988,920 (including $3,490,320 from Sponsor A and $498,600 from Sponsor B). The net proceeds from the Private Shares were added to the proceeds from the IPO to be held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Shares will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Share will expire worthless.

Note 5 — Related Party Transactions

Promissory Note — Related Party

Related Party Loans

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the Initial Stockholders or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If the Company completes an initial Business Combination, it would repay such loaned amounts (the “Working Capital Loans”). In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the U.S. based Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Certain amount of such loans may be convertible into working capital shares at $10.00 per share at the option of the lender. The working capital shares would be identical to the shares sold in the private placement. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Founder Shares

The Initial Stockholders have agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until, with respect to 50% of the Founder Shares, the earlier of six months after the consummation of a Business Combination and the date on which the closing price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing after a Business Combination and, with respect to the remaining 50% of the insider shares, until the six months after the consummation of a Business Combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to a Business Combination, the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company has agreed, commencing on May 12, 2022, to pay Sponsor A up to $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and shared personnel support services. However, pursuant to the terms of such agreement, the Company may delay payment of such monthly fee upon a determination by the audit committee that there are insufficient funds held outside the trust to pay actual or anticipated expenses in connection with the initial Business Combination. Any such unpaid amount will accrue without interest and be due and payable no later than the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination. This arrangement will terminate upon the earlier of (a) completion of a Business Combination or (b) twelve months after the completion of the IPO. The Company incurred $76,129 and $0, respectively, in fees for these services, of which $76,129 and $0 were included in accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheets at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Shares and working capital shares issuable upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of this offering, requiring us to register such securities for resale. The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form 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 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. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of 2.0% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $1,290,000. In addition, the underwriters will be entitled to a deferred fee of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $2,257,500 (the “Deferred Underwriting Commissions”), which will be paid upon the closing of a Business Combination from the amounts held in the Trust Account, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Note 7 — Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 400,000 shares (reduced from 1,000,000 shares subsequent to IPO on May 10, 2022) of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share and 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 December 31, 2022, there was no preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Class A Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares (reduced from 50,000,000 shares subsequent to IPO on May 10, 2022) of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. On December 28, 2021, the Sponsors converted their shares of Class B common stock into 1,725,000 shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. As a result of the Underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option on May 17, 2022, 112,500 Founder Shares were forfeited on May 23, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, there were 2,011,392 shares of common stock issued and outstanding (excluding 6,450,000 shares subject to possible redemption), so that the Initial Stockholders own approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding shares after the IPO.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Class B Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 100,000 shares (reduced from 2,000,000 shares subsequent to IPO on May 10, 2022) of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. On December 22, 2021, the Company effected a 1.5 for 1 stock split of our Class B common stock so that the Sponsors owned an aggregate of 1,725,000 shares of Class B common stock. On December 28, 2021, the Sponsors converted their shares of Class B common stock into 1,725,000 shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis (up to 225,000 shares of which are subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised). As of December 31, 2022, there was no Class B common stock issued or outstanding.

Rights — Each holder of a right (the “Rights”) will receive one-eighth (1/8) of one share of Class A common stock upon consummation of a Business Combination, even if the holder of such Right redeemed all shares held by it in connection with a Business Combination. No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion of the rights. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of rights in order to receive its additional shares upon consummation of a Business Combination, as the consideration related thereto has been included in the unit purchase price paid for by investors in the IPO. If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination in which the Company will not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of rights to receive the same per share consideration the holders of the common stock will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into common stock basis and each holder of a Right will be required to affirmatively covert its Rights in order to receive 1/8 share underlying each Right (without paying additional consideration). The shares issuable upon conversion of the Rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of the Company).

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Rights will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Rights, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Rights, and the Rights will expire worthless. Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities to the holders of the Rights upon consummation of a Business Combination. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Rights. Accordingly, the Rights may expire worthless.

Warrants — Each redeemable warrant (the “Warrant”) entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described in this prospectus. The Warrants will become exercisable on the later of the completion of an initial Business Combination and 12 months from the closing of the IPO. However, no Public Warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the issuance of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating to such common stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the issuance of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective within 90 days from the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise Warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. If an exemption from registration is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis. The Warrants will expire five years from the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination at 5:00 p.m., New York City time or earlier redemption.

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to our founders or their affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares held by founders 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 Company’s initial Business Combination (net of redemption), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s Class A common stock 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 Price”) 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 Market Price, and the $16.50 per

The Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants at any time while the Warrants are exercisable:

in whole and not in part;

•

at a price of $0.01 per Warrant;

A reconciliation of the Company’s statutory income tax rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate is as follows:

	For the Year ended December 31, 2022		For the period from February 25, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021
Income at U.S. statutory rate		21.00%		21.00%
State taxes, net of federal benefit		0.00%		0.00%
Transaction costs		30.42%		0.00%
True up in deferred tax asset balance		(0.10)%		0.00%
Change in valuation allowance		0.00%		0.00%
		51.32%		21.00%

As of December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryovers available to offset future taxable income.

In assessing the realization of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all of the information available, management believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax assets and has therefore established a full valuation allowance. The change in the valuation allowance was $0 for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The provisions for U.S. federal and state income taxes were $149,636 (including deferred income tax provision of $37,190) and $0 for the year ended December 31, 2022 and for the period from February 25, 2021 (inception) to December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company’s tax returns for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 remain open and subject to examination.

to consummate an initial business combination, and to (ii) elect to extend the period to consummate an initial business combination up to six times, each by an additional one-month period (each a “Monthly Extension”), for a total of up to six months to November 17, 2023 (“Extended Termination Date”), by depositing to the Company’s Trust Account the amount lesser of (i) $125,000 for each one-month extension or (ii) $0.045 for each Public Share for each one-month extension (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”).

On May 17, 2023, $125,000 was deposited into the Trust Account for the public stockholders to effectuate the first Monthly Extension. Accordingly, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note of $208,594.15 (the “noco-noco Note”) noco-noco to evidence the payments made by noco-noco for the first Monthly Extension payment and 50% of the registration fee for filing of a registration statement/proxy statement in Form F-4 with the U.S. securities and exchange commission. The noco-noco Note bears no interest and is payable in full upon the earlier to occur of (i) the consummation of an initial business combination or (ii) the date of expiry of the term of the Company, in cash or shares of the Company at $10.00 per share, at the discretion of the note holder.

On June 14, 2023, an additional aggregate of $125,000 was deposited by noco-noco upon request by the sponsors of the Company, into the trust account of the Company, as a result of which, the Company has extended the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination by one month from June 17, 2023 to July 17, 2023. This is the second of the six Monthly Extension permitted under the Existing PNAC Charter.

In connection with the Monthly Extension Payment, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note of $125,000 (the “June noco-noco Note”) to noco-noco. The June noco-noco Note is non-interest bearing and payable (subject to the waiver against trust provisions) on the earlier of (i) consummation of the Company’s initial business combination and (ii) the date of the liquidation of the Company. The principal balance may be prepaid at any time, at the election of the Company. The holder of the June noco-noco Note has the right, but not the obligation, to convert the Note, in whole or in part, respectively, into private placement shares (the “Working Capital Shares”) of the Company, by providing the Company with written notice of its intention to convert the Note at least two business days prior to the closing of the Company’s initial business combination. The number of Working Capital Shares to be received by the holder in connection with such conversion shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to the holder, by (y) $10.00.

On July 14, 2023, an additional aggregate of $125,000 was deposited by noco-noco upon request by the sponsors of the Company, into the trust account of the Company, as a result of which, the Company has extended the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination by one month from July 17, 2023 to August 17, 2023. This is the third of the six Monthly Extension permitted under the Existing PNAC Charter.

In connection with the Monthly Extension Payment, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note of $125,000 (the “July noco-noco Note”) to noco-noco. The terms of the July noco-noco Note is substantively the same with the June noco-noco Note, except with regard to the change of the execution date of the July noco-noco Note.

(a) Acquiror Units. Each Acquiror Unit outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall be automatically detached and the holder thereof shall be deemed to hold one share of Class A common stock of Acquiror, one-half of Acquiror Public Warrant, and one Acquiror Right in accordance with the terms of the applicable Acquiror Unit, which underlying Acquiror Securities shall be converted in accordance with the applicable terms of this Section 2.4 below.

To the extent required by Section 262 of the Delaware Act, each certificate formerly representing Acquiror Common Stock owned by holders thereof who have validly elected to dissent from the Merger pursuant to Section 262 of the Delaware Act shall thereafter only represent the right to receive fair value for their Acquiror Common Stock in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Delaware Act, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the Delaware Act, shares of Acquiror Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time and that are held by holders thereof who shall have neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal or dissenters’ rights for such Acquiror Common Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware Act, and otherwise complied with all of the provisions of the Delaware Act relevant to the exercise and perfection of appraisal rights, shall not be converted into, and such holders shall have no right to receive, the applicable per share Merger consideration unless and until such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its right to appraisal and payment under the Delaware Act.

(d) Cancellation of Capital Stock Owned by Acquiror. If there are any shares of capital stock of Acquiror that are owned by Acquiror as treasury shares immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, such shares shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or payment therefor.

(h) Cancellation of Shares of Merger Sub. All of the shares of Merger Sub Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall be automatically converted into an equal number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(i) Transfers of Ownership. If any certificate representing securities of Acquiror is to be issued in a name other than that in which the certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition of the issuance thereof that the certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange will have paid to Acquiror or any agent designated by it any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate for securities of Acquiror in any name other than that of the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of PubCo or any agent designated by it that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(j) Surrender of Acquiror Certificates. PubCo Securities issued upon the surrender of Acquiror Securities in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such securities,

(k) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Acquiror Certificates.

The Company’s registered office will be situated at the office of Ogier Global (Cayman) Limited, 89 Nexus Way, Camana Bay, Grand Cayman, KY1-9009, Cayman Islands or at such other place in the Cayman Islands as the directors may at any time decide.

The Company’s objects are unrestricted. As provided by section 7(4) of the Companies Act (Revised), the Company has full power and authority to carry out any object not prohibited by any law of the Cayman Islands.

The Company has unrestricted corporate capacity. Without limitation to the foregoing, as provided by section 27(2) of the Companies Act (Revised), the Company has and is capable of exercising all the functions of a natural person of full capacity irrespective of any question of corporate benefit.

Despite this, the Company may effect and conclude contracts in the Cayman Islands and exercise in the Cayman Islands any of its powers necessary for the carrying on of its business outside the Cayman Islands.

The Company is a company limited by shares and accordingly the liability of each member is limited to the amount (if any) unpaid on that member’s shares.

and unless the condition of issue expressly declares otherwise, every issue of shares (whether declared to be ordinary, preference or otherwise) is subject to this power; or

to alter any of those rights, privileges, conditions, limitations or restrictions.

B-5

TABLE OF CONTENTS

issue prices for each class of Shares that the Member holds bears to the total issue prices for all classes of Shares that the Member holds).

(c)

It shall be subject to the provisions of the Act and these Articles applicable to share premiums.

2.20

Nothing in Article 2.19 prevents an allotment of Shares as Fully Paid Up bonus shares in respect of a Treasury Share and Shares allotted as Fully Paid Up bonus shares in respect of a Treasury Share shall be treated as Treasury Shares.

2.21

Treasury Shares may be disposed of by the Company in accordance with the Act and otherwise on such terms and conditions as the Directors determine.

2.22

Share certificates

Issue of share certificates

3.1

A Member shall only be entitled to a share certificate if the Directors resolve that share certificates shall be issued. Share certificates representing Shares, if any, shall be in such form as the Directors may determine. If the Directors resolve that share certificates shall be issued, upon being entered in the register of Members as the holder of a Share, the Directors may issue to any Member:

(a)

without payment, one certificate for all the Shares of each class held by that Member (and, upon transferring a part of the Member’s holding of Shares of any class, to a certificate for the balance of that holding); and

(b)

upon payment of such reasonable sum as the Directors may determine for every certificate after the first, several certificates each for one or more of that Member’s Shares.

3.2

Every certificate shall specify the number, class and distinguishing numbers (if any) of the Shares to which it relates and whether they are Fully Paid Up or Partly Paid Up. A certificate may be executed under seal or executed in such other manner as the Directors determine.

3.3

Every certificate shall bear legends required under the applicable laws, including the U.S. Securities Act.

3.4

The Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate for Shares held jointly by several persons and delivery of a certificate for a Share to one joint holder shall be a sufficient delivery to all of them.

Renewal of lost or damaged share certificates

3.5

If a share certificate is defaced, worn-out, lost or destroyed, it may be renewed on such terms (if any) as to:

(a)

evidence;

(b)

indemnity;

(c)

payment of the expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in investigating the evidence; and

(d)

payment of a reasonable fee, if any for issuing a replacement share certificate,

as the Directors may determine, and (in the case of defacement or wearing-out) on delivery to the Company of the old certificate.

Lien on Shares

Nature and scope of lien

4.1

The Company has a first and paramount lien on all Shares (whether Fully Paid Up or not) registered in the name of a Member (whether solely or jointly with others). The lien is for all monies payable to the Company by the Member or the Member’s estate:

(a)

either alone or jointly with any other person, whether or not that other person is a Member; and

(b)

whether or not those monies are presently payable.

4.2

At any time the Board may declare any Share to be wholly or partly exempt from the provisions of this Article.

B-8

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Company may sell Shares to satisfy lien

4.3

The Company may sell any Shares over which it has a lien if all of the following conditions are met:

(a)

the sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable;

(b)

the Company gives notice to the Member holding the Share (or to the person entitled to it in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of that Member) demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied with the Shares may be sold; and

(c)

that sum is not paid within fourteen Clear Days after that notice is deemed to be given under these Articles,

and Shares to which this Article 4.3 applies shall be referred to as Lien Default Shares.

4.4

The Lien Default Shares may be sold in such manner as the Board determines.

4.5

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Directors shall incur no personal liability to the Member concerned in respect of the sale.

Authority to execute instrument of transfer

4.6

To give effect to a sale, the Directors may authorise any person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Lien Default Shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser.

4.7

The title of the transferee of the Lien Default Shares shall not be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in respect of the sale.

Consequences of sale of Shares to satisfy lien

4.8

On a sale pursuant to the preceding Articles:

(a)

the name of the Member concerned shall be removed from the register of Members as the holder of those Lien Default Shares; and

(b)

that person shall deliver to the Company for cancellation the certificate (if any) for those Lien Default Shares.

4.9

Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 4.8, such person shall remain liable to the Company for all monies which, at the date of sale, were presently payable by such person to the Company in respect of those Lien Default Shares. That person shall also be liable to pay interest on those monies from the date of sale until payment at the rate at which interest was payable before that sale or, failing that, at the Default Rate. The Board may waive payment wholly or in part or enforce payment without any allowance for the value of the Lien Default Shares at the time of sale or for any consideration received on their disposal.

Application of proceeds of sale

4.10

The net proceeds of the sale, after payment of the costs, shall be applied in payment of so much of the sum for which the lien exists as is presently payable. Any residue shall be paid to the person whose Lien Default Shares have been sold:

(a)

if no certificate for the Lien Default Shares was issued, at the date of the sale; or

(b)

if a certificate for the Lien Default Shares was issued, upon surrender to the Company of that certificate for cancellation

but, in either case, subject to the Company retaining a like lien for all sums not presently payable as existed on the Lien Default Shares before the sale.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

12.20

No revocation by a Member of the appointment of a proxy made in accordance with Article 12.19 will affect the validity of any acts carried out by the relevant proxy before the Directors of the Company had actual notice of the revocation.

How and when proxy is to be delivered

12.21

Subject to the following Articles, the Directors may, in the notice convening any meeting or adjourned meeting, or in an instrument of proxy sent out by the Company, specify the manner by which the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited and the place and the time (being not later than the time appointed for the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting to which the proxy relates) at which the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited. In the absence of any such direction from the Directors in the notice convening any meeting or adjourned meeting or in an instrument of proxy sent out by the Company, the form of appointment of a proxy and any authority under which it is signed (or a copy of the authority certified notarially or in any other way approved by the Directors) must be delivered so that it is received by the Company before the time for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the person named in the form of appointment of proxy proposes to vote. They must be delivered in either of the following ways:

(a)

In the case of an instrument in writing, it must be left at or sent by post:

(i)

to the registered office of the Company; or

(ii)

to such other place specified in the notice convening the meeting or in any form of appointment of proxy sent out by the Company in relation to the meeting.

(b)

If, pursuant to the notice provisions, a notice may be given to the Company in an Electronic Record, an Electronic Record of an appointment of a proxy must be sent to the address specified pursuant to those provisions unless another address for that purpose is specified:

(i)

in the notice convening the meeting; or

(ii)

in any form of appointment of a proxy sent out by the Company in relation to the meeting; or

(iii)

in any invitation to appoint a proxy issued by the Company in relation to the meeting.

(c)

Notwithstanding Article 12.21(a) and Article 12.21(b), the chairman of the Company may, in any event at his/her discretion, direct that an instrument of proxy shall be deemed to have been duly deposited.

12.22

Where a poll is taken:

(a)

if it is taken more than seven Clear Days after it is demanded, the form of appointment of a proxy and any accompanying authority (or an Electronic Record of the same) must be delivered in accordance with Article 12.21 before the time appointed for the taking of the poll;

(b)

if it to be taken within seven Clear Days after it was demanded, the form of appointment of a proxy and any accompanying authority (or an Electronic Record of the same) must be delivered in accordance with Article 12.21 before the time appointed for the taking of the poll.

12.23

If the form of appointment of proxy is not delivered on time, it is invalid.

12.24

When two or more valid but differing appointments of proxy are delivered or received in respect of the same Share for use at the same meeting and in respect of the same matter, the one which is last validly delivered or received (regardless of its date or of the date of its execution) shall be treated as replacing and revoking the other or others as regards that Share. lf the Company is unable to determine which appointment was last validly delivered or received, none of them shall be treated as valid in respect of that Share.

12.25

The Board may at the expense of the Company send forms of appointment of proxy to the Members by post (that is to say, pre-paying and posting a letter), or by Electronic communication or otherwise

(with or without provision for their return by pre-paid post) for use at any General Meeting or at any separate meeting of the holders of any class of Shares, either blank or nominating as proxy in the alternative any one or more of the Directors or any other person. lf for the purpose of any meeting invitations to appoint as proxy a person or one of a number of persons specified in the invitations are issued at the Company’s expense, they shall be issued to all (and not to some only) of the Members entitled to be sent notice of the meeting and to vote at it. The accidental omission to send such a form of appointment or to give such an invitation to, or the non-receipt of such form of appointment by, any Member entitled to attend and vote at a meeting shall not invalidate the proceedings at that meeting

Voting by proxy

12.26

A proxy shall have the same voting rights at a meeting or adjourned meeting as the Member would have had except to the extent that the instrument appointing such person limits those rights. Notwithstanding the appointment of a proxy, a Member may attend and vote at a meeting or adjourned meeting. If a Member votes on any resolution a vote by such Member’s proxy on the same resolution, unless in respect of different Shares, shall be invalid.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Record dates

22.1

Except to the extent of any conflicting rights attached to Shares, the resolution declaring a dividend on Shares of any class, whether it be an Ordinary Resolution of the Members or a Director’s resolution, may specify that the dividend is payable or distributable to the persons registered as the holders of those Shares at the close of business on a particular date, notwithstanding that the date may be a date prior to that on which the resolution is passed.

22.2

If the resolution does so specify, the dividend shall be payable or distributable to the persons registered as the holders of those Shares at the close of business on the specified date in accordance with their respective holdings so registered, but without prejudice to the rights inter se in respect of the dividend of transferors and transferees of any of those Shares.

22.3

The provisions of this Article apply, mutatis mutandis, to bonuses, capitalisation issues, distributions of realised capital profits or offers or grants made by the Company to the Members.

Dividends

Source of dividends

23.1

Dividends may be declared and paid out of any funds of the Company lawfully available for distribution.

23.2

Subject to the requirements of the Act regarding the application of a company’s Share premium account and with the sanction of an Ordinary Resolution, dividends may also be declared and paid out of any share premium account.

Declaration of dividends by Members

23.3

Subject to the provisions of the Act, the Company may by Ordinary Resolution declare dividends in accordance with the respective rights of the Members but no dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by the Directors.

Payment of interim dividends and declaration of final dividends by Directors

23.4

The Directors may declare and pay interim dividends or recommend final dividends in accordance with the respective rights of the Members if it appears to them that they are justified by the financial position of the Company and that such dividends may lawfully be paid.

23.5

Subject to the provisions of the Act, in relation to the distinction between interim dividends and final dividends, the following applies:

(a)

Upon determination to pay a dividend or dividends described as interim by the Directors in the dividend resolution, no debt shall be created by the declaration until such time as payment is made.

(b)

Upon declaration of a dividend or dividends described as final by the Directors in the dividend resolution, a debt shall be created immediately following the declaration, the due date to be the date the dividend is stated to be payable in the resolution.

If the resolution fails to specify whether a dividend is final or interim, it shall be assumed to be interim.

23.6

In relation to Shares carrying differing rights to dividends or rights to dividends at a fixed rate, the following applies:

(a)

If the share capital is divided into different classes, the Directors may pay dividends on Shares which confer deferred or non-preferred rights with regard to dividends as well as on Shares which confer preferential rights with regard to dividends but no dividend shall be paid on Shares carrying deferred or non-preferred rights if, at the time of payment, any preferential dividend is in arrears.

B-33

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(b)

The Directors may also pay, at intervals settled by them, any dividend payable at a fixed rate if it appears to them that there are sufficient funds of the Company lawfully available for distribution to justify the payment.

(c)

If the Directors act in good faith, they shall not incur any liability to the Members holding Shares conferring preferred rights for any loss those Members may suffer by the lawful payment of the dividend on any Shares having deferred or non-preferred rights.

Apportionment of dividends

23.7

Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to Shares all dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts Paid Up on the Shares on which the dividend is paid. All dividends shall be apportioned and paid proportionately to the amount Paid Up on the Shares during the time or part of the time in respect of which the dividend is paid. But if a Share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for dividend as from a particular date, that Share shall rank for dividend accordingly.

Right of set off

23.8

The Directors may deduct from a dividend or any other amount payable to a person in respect of a Share any amount due by that person to the Company on a call or otherwise in relation to a Share.

Power to pay other than in cash

23.9

If the Directors so determine, any resolution declaring a dividend may direct that it shall be satisfied wholly or partly by the distribution of assets. If a difficulty arises in relation to the distribution, the Directors may settle that difficulty in any way they consider appropriate. For example, they may do any one or more of the following:

(a)

issue fractional Shares;

(b)

fix the value of assets for distribution and make cash payments to some Members on the footing of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of Members; and

(c)

vest some assets in trustees.

How payments may be made

23.10

A dividend or other monies payable on or in respect of a Share may be paid in any of the following ways:

if the Member holding that Share or other person entitled to that Share nominates a bank account for that purpose — by wire transfer to that bank account; or

(b)

by cheque or warrant sent by post to the registered address of the Member holding that Share or other person entitled to that Share.

23.11

For the purposes of Article 23.10(a), the nomination may be in writing or in an Electronic Record and the bank account nominated may be the bank account of another person. For the purposes of Article 23.10(b), subject to any applicable law or regulation, the cheque or warrant shall be made to the order of the Member holding that Share or other person entitled to the Share or to his nominee, whether nominated in writing or in an Electronic Record, and payment of the cheque or warrant shall be a good discharge to the Company.

23.12

If two or more persons are registered as the holders of the Share or are jointly entitled to it by reason of the death or bankruptcy of the registered holder (Joint Holders), a dividend (or other amount) payable on or in respect of that Share may be paid as follows:

(a)

to the registered address of the Joint Holder of the Share who is named first on the register of Members or to the registered address of the deceased or bankrupt holder, as the case may be; or

B-34

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(b)

to the address or bank account of another person nominated by the Joint Holders, whether that nomination is in writing or in an Electronic Record.

Any Joint Holder of a Share may give a valid receipt for a dividend (or other amount) payable in respect of that Share.

Dividends or other monies not to bear interest in absence of special rights

23.14

Unless provided for by the rights attached to a Share, no dividend or other monies payable by the Company in respect of a Share shall bear interest.

Dividends unable to be paid or unclaimed

23.15

If a dividend cannot be paid to a Member or remains unclaimed within six weeks after it was declared or both, the Directors may pay it into a separate account in the Company’s name. If a dividend is paid into a separate account, the Company shall not be constituted trustee in respect of that account and the dividend shall remain a debt due to the Member.

23.16

A dividend that remains unclaimed for a period of six years after it became due for payment shall be forfeited to, and shall cease to remain owing by, the Company.

Capitalisation of profits

Capitalisation of profits or of any share premium account or capital redemption reserve;

24.1

The Directors may resolve to capitalise:

(a)

any part of the Company’s profits not required for paying any preferential dividend (whether or not those profits are available for distribution); or

(b)

any sum standing to the credit of the Company’s share premium account or capital redemption reserve, if any.

24.2

The amount resolved to be capitalised must be appropriated to the Members who would have been entitled to it had it been distributed by way of dividend and in the same proportions. The benefit to each Member so entitled must be given in either or both of the following ways::

(a)

by paying up the amounts unpaid on that Member’s Shares;

(b)

by issuing Fully Paid Up Shares, debentures or other securities of the Company to that Member or as that Member directs. The Directors may resolve that any Shares issued to the Member in respect of Partly Paid Up Shares (Original Shares) rank for dividend only to the extent that the Original Shares rank for dividend while those Original Shares remain Partly Paid Up.

Applying an amount for the benefit of Members

24.3

The amount capitalised must be applied to the benefit of Members in the proportions to which the Members would have been entitled to dividends if the amount capitalised had been distributed as a dividend.

24.4

Subject to the Act, if a fraction of a Share, a debenture or other security is allocated to a Member, the Directors may issue a fractional certificate to that Member or pay such person the cash equivalent of the fraction.

Indemnity

27.1

To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify each existing or former Director (including alternate Director), Secretary and other Officer of the Company (including an investment adviser or an administrator or liquidator) and their personal representatives against:

all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by the existing or former Director (including alternate Director), Secretary or Officer in or about the conduct of the Company’s business or affairs or in the execution or discharge of the existing or former Director’s (including alternate Director’s), Secretary’s or Officer’s duties, powers, authorities or discretions; and

without limitation to paragraph (a), all costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by the existing or former Director (including alternate Director), Secretary or Officer in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceedings (whether threatened, pending or completed) concerning the Company or its affairs in any court or tribunal, whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere.

Such indemnity only applies if the Directors are of the view that, in the absence of fraud, wilful default or wilful neglect, an existing or former Director (including alternate Director), Secretary or Officer acted honestly and in good faith with a view to what the person believes is in the best interests of the Company and, in the case of criminal proceedings, such person had no reasonable cause to believe that their conduct was unlawful. No such existing or former Director (including alternate Director), Secretary or Officer, however, shall be indemnified in respect of any matter arising out of his/her own actual fraud, wilful default or wilful neglect.

Release

27.3

To the extent permitted by Act, the Company may by Special Resolution release any existing or former Director (including alternate Director), Secretary or other Officer of the Company from liability for any loss or damage or right to compensation which may arise out of or in connection with the execution or discharge of the duties, powers, authorities or discretions of his/her office; but there may be no release from liability arising out of or in connection with that person’s own actual fraud, wilful default or wilful neglect.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The laws of the Cayman Islands do not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful default, willful neglect, civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. The Amended PubCo Charter shall provide that every director and officer (but not including the company’s auditors) and the personal representatives of the same (each an “Indemnified Person”) shall be indemnified and secured harmless out of the assets and funds of our company against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by such Indemnified Person, other than by reason of such Indemnified Person’s own dishonesty, willful default or fraud as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, in or about the conduct of our business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of his duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Person in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning our company or our affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere.

We also plan to enter into indemnification agreements with our directors under law, pursuant to which we will agree to indemnify each such person and hold him harmless against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts payable under settlement agreements in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding to which he has been made a party or in which he became involved by reason of the fact that he is or was our director or officer. Except with respect to expenses to be reimbursed by us in the event that the indemnified person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of the action, suit or proceeding, our obligations under the indemnification agreements will be subject to certain customary restrictions and exceptions.

In addition, we maintain, and are obligated to establish and maintain for at least six years, standard and tail policies of insurance under which coverage is provided to our directors and officers against loss rising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, and to us with respect to payments which may be made by us to such directors and officers pursuant to the above indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is theretofore unenforceable.

Item 22. Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

ii.

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

iii.

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

II-4

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4)

To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act need not be furnished, provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and shall be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

•

Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

•

Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

•

The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

•

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus shall contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

The registrant undertakes that every prospectus: (i) that is filed pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, shall be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and shall not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be

deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
