NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note
1 - Description of Organization and Business Operations
BYTE
Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on January 8,
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 (“Business Combination”). While the Company may pursue an initial
business combination target in any business or industry, it intends to focus its search for targets in the Israeli technology industry,
including those engaged in cybersecurity, automotive technology, fintech, enterprise software, cloud computing, semiconductors, medical
technology, AI and robotics and that offer a differentiated technology platform and products. The Company is an early stage and emerging
growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
As
of March 31, 2022, the Company had not yet commenced operations. All activity for the period from January 8, 2021 (inception) through
March 31, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) and
since the closing of the initial public offering, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate
any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income
in the form of interest and other income on investments of the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected
December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The
Company’s sponsor is Byte Holdings LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (the “Sponsor”). The registration
statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on March 17, 2021. On March 23, 2021, the Company consummated
its Initial Public Offering of 30,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in
the Units, the “Public Shares”), at $ 10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 300.0 million, and incurring underwriting
fees and other offering costs of approximately $ 17.2 million, inclusive of approximately $ 10.5 million in deferred underwriting commissions
(see Note 6). The underwriter was granted a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering
to purchase up to 4,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at $ 10.00 per Unit. On April 7, 2021, the underwriter
exercised the over-allotment option in part and purchased an additional 2,369,251 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”), generating
gross proceeds of $ 23,692,510 .
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 1,030,000
Units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $ 10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total gross proceeds of
$ 10.3 million (see Note 4).
Upon
the closing of the Initial Public Offering, sale of the Over-Allotment Units and closing of the Private Placement, $323.7 million ($10.00
per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, the Over-Allotment Units and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement
was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and will be invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set
forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (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 certain conditions
of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination
and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders, as described below. In addition, the
Company transferred an excess amount of $900,000 into the Trust Account upon closing of the Initial Public Offering, of which approximately
$474,000 remained in the Trust Account after closing of the sale of the Over-Allotment Units.
The
Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering
and the sale of the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward
completing a Business Combination. The Company must complete its initial Business Combination with one or more target businesses that
together have a fair market value equal to at least 80 % of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the amount of any deferred
underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into a Business Combination. The Company will
only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50 % or more of the issued and outstanding
voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required
to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully
effect a Business Combination.
5
The
Company will provide its shareholders of the Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) 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 shareholder meeting
called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder
approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to
redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount held in the Trust Account (at $ 10.00 per share), calculated as of two
business days prior to the completion of a Business Combination, including any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust
Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion
of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. The Class A ordinary shares were recorded at redemption value
and classified as temporary equity in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”).
If
the Company seeks shareholder approval, the Company will complete a Business Combination only if it receives an ordinary resolution under
Cayman Islands law approving a Business Combination, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who vote at
a general meeting of the Company. If a shareholder vote is not required under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements and
the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated
Memorandum and Articles of Association, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement
with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination,
the Sponsor agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), the Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Units
(the “Private Placement Shares”) and any Public Shares purchased in or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving
a Business Combination and to waive its redemption rights with respect to any such shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve
a Business Combination. However, in no event will the Company redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible
assets to be less than $ 5,000,001 . In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its Public Shares and the related
Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to
redeem its Public Shares, without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against a proposed Business Combination.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the
tender offer rules, the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a Public Shareholder,
together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder 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 Public Shares without the Company’s prior written
consent.
The
Sponsor agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with
the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association
(i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete
a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’
rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem
their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment and (iii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust
Account with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination.
The
Company will have until 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or March 23, 2023 (the “Combination Period”)
to complete a Business Combination. 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 no more than 10 business
days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding 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 (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses),
divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights
as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible
following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve
and liquidate, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements
of other applicable law.
The
Sponsor agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares if the Company fails to
complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Initial
Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete
a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission
(see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period
and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption
of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for
distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($ 10.00 ).
6
The
Sponsor agreed that it will 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 by a prospective target business with which the Company has 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
(1) $10.00 per Public Share and (2) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of
the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of trust assets, less taxes payable. This 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 monies
held in the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public
Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible
to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have
to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s
independent public accountants), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements
with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
Note
2 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q
and Article 8 of Regulation S-X and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, which
include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. Operating
results for the three ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2022.
The
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on April 5, 2022, which contains the audited financial statements and notes
thereto. The financial information as of December 31, 2021, is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on April 6, 2022.
Liquidity
and Going Concern
As
of March 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $ 1.5 million in its operating bank account and working capital of approximately $ 1.8
million.
The
Company’s liquidity through the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through the payment of $ 25,000 from
the Sponsor to cover certain offering costs on behalf of the Company in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares (as defined below),
the loan under the Note from the Sponsor of approximately $ 149,000 (see Note 5) to the Company, and the net proceeds from the consummation
of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. The Company fully repaid the Note on March 25, 2021. In addition, in order to
finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s officers, directors and Initial Shareholders
may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (see Note 5). To date, there were no amounts outstanding under
any Working Capital Loans.
7
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 the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution
raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying
amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after March 23, 2023. The condensed financial statements
do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Risks
and Uncertainties
Management
continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that the specific impact is not readily determinable as of
the date of the financial statements. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of this uncertainty.
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 auditor 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 shareholder 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 an emerging growth 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 an 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 condensed 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
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed
financial statements. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that
the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the condensed 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.
8
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 no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.
Investments
Held in Trust Account
The
Company’s portfolio of investments is comprised solely of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16)
of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government
securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held
in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the Company’s
investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities
and investments in money market funds are presented on the condensed 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 income from investments held in Trust Account
in the accompanying condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined
using available market information.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution,
which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $ 250,000 , and investments held in Trust Account. At March 31,
2022, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks
on such accounts.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair
Value Measurements,” equal or approximate the carrying amounts represented in the condensed balance sheets.
Fair
Value Measurements
Fair
value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs
used in measuring fair value.
The
hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements)
and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These consist of:
●
Level 1, defined as observable
inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
●
Level 2, defined as inputs
other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments
in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
●
Level 3, defined as unobservable
inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations
derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
In
some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In
those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input
that is significant to the fair value measurement.
9
Derivative
Warrant Liabilities
The
Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates
all of its financial instruments, including issued share purchase warrants and forward purchase agreements, to determine if such instruments
are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives
and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be
recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.
The
warrants issued in connection with the Company’s Initial Public Offering (the “Public Warrants”) and the Private Placement
Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement are recognized as derivative liabilities in
accordance with ASC 815. In addition, based on management’s evaluation, the tender offer provision fails the indexation criteria
as contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-25. As a result, the Company accounts for the Public Warrants as a liability. Accordingly, the
Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period.
The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized
in the Company’s condensed statements of operations. The initial estimated fair value of the warrants was measured using a Monte
Carlo simulation. The subsequent estimated fair value of the Public Warrants is based on the listed price in an active market for such
warrants while the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants continues to be measured using a Monte Carlo simulation.
Offering
Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering
Offering
costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly
related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public
Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with derivative warrant
liabilities were expensed as incurred and presented as non-operating expenses in the condensed statements of operations. Offering costs
associated with the Class A ordinary shares issued were charged against the carrying value of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible
redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company classifies deferred underwriting commissions as non-current
liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.
Class
A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The
Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Class A ordinary
shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally
redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that features 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, Class A ordinary shares is classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Public
Shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence
of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 32,369,251 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible
redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s
condensed balance sheets.
Effective
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering (including sale of the Over-Allotment Units), the Company recognized the accretion from
initial book value to redemption amount, which resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated
deficit.
10
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty
in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statement 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. The Company’s
management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. 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, 2022 or December 31, 2021. 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 considered an exempted Cayman Islands Company and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements
in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the period presented. 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 Ordinary Share
The
Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has
two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Income and losses are shared pro
rata between the two classes of shares. Net income per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net income by the weighted average
of ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period.
The
calculation of diluted net income (loss) per ordinary shares does not consider the effect of the Public Warrants and the Private
Placement Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 16,699,626 ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted income per share, because
their exercise is contingent upon future events and their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. As
a result, diluted net income (loss) per share is the same as basic net income (loss) per share for the three months ended March 31,
2022 and for the period from January 8, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2021. Accretion associated with the redeemable
Class A ordinary shares is excluded from net income per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

following table reflects presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net income per

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect
on the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements.
Note
3 - Initial Public Offering
On
March 23, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 30,000,000 Units, at $ 10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds
of $ 300.0 million, and incurring underwriting fees and other offering costs of approximately $ 17.2 million, inclusive of approximately
$ 10.5 million in deferred underwriting commissions.
On
April 7, 2021, the underwriter exercised the over-allotment option in part and purchased the Over-Allotment Units, generating gross proceeds
of $ 23,692,510 , and 532,687 Founder Shares were subsequently forfeited by the Sponsor.
Each
Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public
Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see
Note 9).
Note
4 - Private Placement
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 1,030,000 Private Placement Units at
a price of $ 10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $ 10.3 million.
The
proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust
Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the private placement warrants underlying
the Private Placement Units (the “Private Placement Warrants”) will expire worthless.
Note
5 - Related Party Transactions
Founder
Shares
On
January 22, 2021, the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $ 25,000 to cover certain offering costs of the Company in consideration for 8,625,000
of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”). The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to
1,125,000 shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment was not exercised in
full or in part, so that the number of Founder Shares would collectively represent 20 % of the Company’s issued and outstanding
shares upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering (excluding the Private Placement Shares). On April 7, 2021, the underwriter
exercised its over-allotment option in part, and 532,687 Founder Shares were subsequently forfeited by the Sponsor.
The
Sponsor agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of:
(A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination; and (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of
the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations,
recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 120 days after a Business
Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, amalgamation, share exchange, reorganization or other
similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares
for cash, securities or other property.
12
Promissory
Note - Related Party
On
January 22, 2021, the Company entered into a promissory note with the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company could have borrowed up to
an aggregate principal amount of $ 251,000 (the “Note”). The Note was non-interest bearing and payable upon the completion
of the Initial Public Offering. The Company borrowed approximately $ 149,000 under the Note and fully repaid the Note on March 25, 2021.
Related
Party Loans
In
order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain
of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working
Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes may be repaid upon completion of
a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $ 1,500,000 of the notes may be converted upon completion
of a Business Combination into private placement-equivalent units at a price of $ 10.00 per unit. Such units would be identical to the
Private Placement Units. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside
the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital
Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements
exist with respect to such loans. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital
Loans.
Administrative
Services Agreement
The
Company entered into an agreement that provides that, commencing on effective date of the Initial Public Offering, the Company agreed
to pay the Sponsor $ 10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services. Upon completion of
a Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. During the three months ended March 31,
2022 and 2021 the Company incurred $ 30,000 and $ 10,000 of such fees, reported as general and administrative expenses - related party
in the accompanying condensed statements of operations, respectively. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were $ 0 and $ 10,000
of such expenses unpaid in accounts payable on the condensed balance sheets, respectively.
Note
6 - Commitments and Contingencies
Registration
and Shareholder Rights
The
holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Units (including the underlying securities) and securities that may be issued upon conversion
of the Working Capital Loans were entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed upon the effective
date of the Initial Public Offering requiring the Company to register a sale of any of the securities held by them, including any other
securities of the Company acquired by them prior to the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The holders
of these securities were entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities.
In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent
to the completion of a Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration
statements.
Underwriting
Agreement
The
Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 4,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments at the Initial
Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On April 7, 2021, the underwriter exercised the over-allotment
option in part and purchased the Over-Allotment Units, generating gross proceeds of $ 23,692,510 .
The
underwriters received a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $6.5 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the
Initial Public Offering and sale of Over-Allotment Units. In addition, the underwriters were entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per
Unit, or $11.3 million in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust
Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

8 - Shareholders’ Deficit
Preference
Shares - The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. The Company’s
board of directors will be authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating,
optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series.
The board of directors will be able to, without shareholder approval, issue preferred shares with voting and other rights that could
adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the ordinary shares and could have anti-takeover effects. At March
31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.
Class
A Ordinary Shares - The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share.
Holders of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021,
there were 1,030,000 Class A ordinary shares issued or outstanding, excluding 32,369,251 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible
redemption, which have been classified as temporary equity (see Note 7).
Class
B Ordinary Shares - The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share.
Holders of the Class B ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were
8,625,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding, of which an aggregate of up to 1,125,000 shares were subject to forfeiture
to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part so that the number of Founder Shares
will equal 20 % of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the Initial Public Offering (excluding the Private
Placement Shares). On April 7, 2021, the underwriter exercised its over-allotment in part, and 532,687 Class B ordinary shares were subsequently
forfeited.
Only
holders of the Class B ordinary shares will have the right to vote on the election of directors prior to the Business Combination. Holders
of Class A ordinary shares and holders of Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all other matters submitted
to a vote of the Company’s shareholders except as otherwise required by law.
The
Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares concurrently with or immediately following the completion
of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked
securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination, the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon
conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, 20 % of the total number of Class A ordinary shares outstanding after such
conversion (excluding the private placement shares underlying the private placement units and after giving effect to any redemptions
of Class A ordinary shares by public shareholders), including the total number of Class A ordinary shares issued, or deemed issued or
issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection
with or in relation to the consummation of a Business Combination, excluding any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities
exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination and any
private placement-equivalent units issued to the Sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans; provided that
such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.

Note
9 - Warrants
As
of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 16,184,626 and 515,000 Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants, respectively,
outstanding.
Public
Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only
whole warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination. The Public
Warrants will expire five years from the completion of a Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The
Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation
to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A ordinary
shares underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its
obligations with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue a Class A ordinary
share upon exercise of a warrant unless the Class A ordinary share issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified
or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants.
The
Company is registering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants in the registration statement of which this
prospectus forms a part because the warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of its initial business combination,
which may be within one year of this offering. However, because the warrants will be exercisable until their expiration date of up to
five years after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, in order to comply with the requirements of Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act following the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination, under the terms of the
warrant agreement, the Company agreed that, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of
its initial business combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the registration
statement of which this prospectus forms a part or a new registration statement covering the registration under the Securities Act of
the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and thereafter will use its best efforts to cause the same to become
effective within 60 business days following its initial business combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the Class
A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the
warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective
by the 60th business day after the closing of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration
statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants
on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. In addition, if the
Class A ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy
the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require
holders of the Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9)
of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company elects to do so, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a
registration statement, but it will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent
an exemption is not available.
15
Redemption
of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00:
Once
the warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the outstanding warrants for redemption (except as described with respect to the
Private Placement Warrants):
●
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 to each warrant holder; and
●
if, and only if, the closing
price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations,
reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days
before the Company sends to the notice of redemption to the warrant holders (the “Reference Value”).
If
and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register
or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
Redemption
of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00:
Once
the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:
●
in whole and not in part;
●
at a price of $0.10 per
Public Warrant;
●
upon not less than 30 days’
prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder;
●
if, and only if, the Reference
Value equals or exceeds $10.00 per Public Share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending three
trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and
● if the Reference Value is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above.
If
the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, as described above, its management will have the option to require any holder that
wishes to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise
price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including
in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except
as described below, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below its exercise price. Additionally,
in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants. 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 Public Warrants will not receive
any of such funds with respect to their Public Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held
outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Public Warrants. Accordingly, the Public Warrants may expire worthless.
16
In
addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection
with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $ 9.20 per Class A ordinary share (with
such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of
any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates,
as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent
more than 60 % of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of a Business Combination, and (z) the volume
weighted average trading price of the Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the
day on which the Company consummates a Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $ 9.20 per share, then
the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115 % of the higher of the Market Value and the
Newly Issued Price, and the $ 18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180 % of the
higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
The
Private Placement Warrants will be identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units being sold in the Initial Public Offering, except
that (x) the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants
will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited
exceptions, (y) the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable so long as they are held
by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees and (z) the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable
upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will be entitled to registration rights. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by
someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company
and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

Transfers
to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period. The estimated fair value of the Public Warrants was
transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 1 measurement in May 2021, when the Public Warrants were separately listed and traded
in an active market. The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level
2 measurement in May 2021, as the key inputs to the valuation model became directly or indirectly observable from the Public Warrants
listed price.
The
initial estimated fair value of the warrants was measured using a Monte Carlo simulation. The subsequent estimated fair value of the
Public Warrants is based on the listed price in an active market for such warrants while the fair value of the Private Placement
Warrants continues to be measured using a Monte Carlo simulation, with level 2 inputs. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and
