Item
2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
The
following “Use of Proceeds” information relates to the registration statement on Form S-1 (File Number 333-272230), as amended
(the “Registration Statement”) for our IPO, which was declared effective by the SEC on November 30, 2023. On December 6,
2023, we consummated our IPO of 6,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one ordinary share, $0.0001 par value
(“Ordinary Share”), and one right (“Right”) to receive one-fifth (1/5) of one Ordinary Share upon the consummation
of an initial business combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $60,000,000.
Pursuant to that certain underwriting agreement, dated December 1, 2023, we granted Spartan Capital Securities, LLC, the representative
of the underwriters, a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 900,000 Units solely to cover over-allotments, if any (the “Over-Allotment
Option”). Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the underwriters exercised the Over-Allotment Option in full, generating
total proceeds of $9,000,000.
Simultaneously
with the closing of the IPO on December 6, 2023, we consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) with Aimei Investment
Ltd. of 332,000 units (the “Private Units”), generating total proceeds of $3,320,000. The Private Units are identical to
the Units sold as part of the public Units in this offering. Additionally, Aimei Investment Ltd. agreed not to transfer, assign, or sell
any of the Private Units or underlying securities (except in limited circumstances, as described in the Registration Statement) until
the completion of our initial business combination. Aimei Investment Ltd. was granted certain demand and piggyback registration rights
in connection with the purchase of the Private Units.
On
December 6, 2023, a total of $69,690,000 of the net proceeds from the sale of Units in the IPO and the Private Placement, were
placed in the Trust Account, located in the U.S. and held as cash items or may be invested in U.S. government securities, within the
meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended
investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act,
as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a business combination or (ii) the distribution of the funds in
the Trust Account to our shareholders.
We
paid a total of $1,380,000 in underwriting discounts (excluding deferred underwriting discount of $690,000) and $550,000 for other costs
and expenses related to the IPO.
Additionally,
the underwriters are entitled to $690,000, equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds of this offering, payable to the underwriters as deferred
underwriting discounts at the closing of our initial business combination from the funds to be placed in the Trust Account. Such funds
will be released to the underwriters only upon consummation of an initial business combination, as described in the Registration Statement.
If the business combination is not consummated, such deferred discounts will be forfeited by the underwriters. The underwriters will
not be entitled to any interest accrued on the deferred underwriting discount.
