Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the

Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SECs rules and forms.

Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is

accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our chief

executive officer and chief financial officer (our Certifying Officers), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b)

under the Exchange Act.

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2022, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act.

Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud.

Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter

how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.

Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there

are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs.

Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance

that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any.

The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that

any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Financial Reporting

Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.

Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or because the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management conducted, under the supervision of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, commonly referred to as the “COSO” criteria.

Based on the assessment performed, management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2022.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the SEC for 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.

approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our officers and employees;

producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement;

reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.

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.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as indicated above, other than the payment to our sponsor of $20,000 per month, for office space, utilities and secretarial and

administrative support and reimbursement of expenses, no compensation of any kind, including finders, consulting or other similar fees, will be paid to any of our existing shareholders, officers, directors or any of their respective affiliates,

prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate the consummation of an 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.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

On May 6, 2021, our sponsor received 5,750,000 Founder Shares in exchange for the payment of $25,000 of deferred offering costs.

October 28, 2021, our sponsor surrendered and forfeited 1,437,500 Founder Shares for no consideration, following which our sponsor held 4,312,500 Founder Shares.

On November 22, 2021, we issued 690,000 Founder Shares to our sponsor with

such issue being made by way of a bonus share issue for no consideration, following which our sponsor holds an aggregate of 5,002,500 Founder Shares.

On November 26, 2021, we surrendered and forfeited 150,000 Founder Shares which Mizuho

then purchased for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000.

The number of Founder Shares outstanding was determined based on our expectation that the total size of the Public Offering would be a maximum of 20,010,000 units if the

underwriters over-allotment option was exercised in full, and therefore that such Founder Shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares after the Public Offering.

Our sponsor purchased an aggregate of 8,638,500 Private Placement Warrants, each exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at

$11.50 per share, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, or $8,638,500 in the aggregate, in a private placement that closed simultaneously with the closing of the Public Offering.

The Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A ordinary shares

issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination.

There will be no redemption rights or

liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares or Private Placement Warrants, which will expire worthless if we do not consummate a business combination within the

allotted 15-month period (or an 18-month period from the closing of the Public Offering if we have filed a proxy statement, registration statement or

similar filing for an initial business combination but have not completed the initial business combination within such 15-month period, or up to a 21-month period from

the closing of the Public Offering if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination).

If any of our officers or

directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity that falls within the line of business of any entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she may be required to present such business

combination opportunity to such entity prior to presenting such business combination opportunity to us, subject to his or her fiduciary duties under British Virgin Islands law.

Our officers and directors currently have certain relevant fiduciary

duties or contractual obligations that may take priority over their duties to us, in accordance with applicable laws.

2022, we entered into an Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement with our sponsor pursuant to which we now pay a total of $20,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services to our sponsor.

Upon completion of our

initial business combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees.

Accordingly, in the event the consummation of our initial business combination takes the maximum 15 months (or 18 months from the closing of the Public

if we have filed a proxy statement, registration statement or similar filing for an initial business combination but have not completed the initial business combination within such 15-month period, or up to 21 months from the closing of the Public Offering if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination), our sponsor will be paid a total of $280,000 (representative of the

$10,000 per month paid for the first two months under the Administrative Services Agreement and $20,000 per month for the remaining 13 months) for office space, administrative and support services and will be entitled to be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses.

Our sponsor, officers and

directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such

as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations.

Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our sponsor, officers, directors or our or their

affiliates and will determine which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed.

There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement

of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on our behalf.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of

our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required.

On October 28, 2021, our sponsor surrendered and forfeited 1,437,500 Founder Shares for no consideration, following which our sponsor held 4,312,500 Founder Shares.

On November 22, 2021, we issued 690,000 Founder Shares to our sponsor with such issue being made by way of a bonus share issue for no consideration, following which our sponsor holds an aggregate of 5,002,500 Founder Shares.

Our officers and directors currently have certain relevant fiduciary duties or contractual obligations that may take priority over their duties to us, in accordance with applicable laws.

On March 11, 2022, we entered into an Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement with our sponsor pursuant to which we now pay a total of $20,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services to our sponsor.

Upon completion of our initial business combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees.

Accordingly, in the event the consummation of our initial business combination takes the maximum 18 months (

or up to 21 months from the closing of the Public Offering if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination), our sponsor will be paid a total of $280,000 (representative of the $10,000 per month paid for the first two months under the Administrative Services Agreement and $20,000 per month for the remaining 13 months) for office space, administrative and support services and will be entitled to be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required.

If we complete an initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts.

In the event that the initial business

combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment.

Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be

convertible into warrants of the post-business combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender.

In the event that the initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment.

Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-business combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender.

The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants issued to the initial holders.

The terms of such loans

by our officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans.

We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor as we do not believe third

parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our Trust Account.

Marcum LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, and the underwriters of the offering, will not

execute agreements with us waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account.

After our initial business combination, members

of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to our shareholders, to the extent then known, in the tender offer or proxy

solicitation materials, as applicable, furnished to our shareholders.

It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of distribution of such tender offer materials or at the time of a general meeting held to consider our

initial business combination, as applicable, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive and director compensation.

On June 20, 2022, the Sponsor issued an unsecured promissory note to the Company (the “Convertible Note”), pursuant to which we may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000.

The Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering (or up to 21 months from the closing of the Public Offering if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination) or (ii) the consummation of the initial business combination.

As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were $300,000 and $0 outstanding under the Convertible Note, respectively.

We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our Trust Account.

Marcum LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, and the underwriters of the offering, will not execute agreements with us waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account.

It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of distribution of such tender offer materials or at the time of a general meeting held to consider our initial business combination, as applicable, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive and director compensation.

Registration Rights

holders of Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on November 22, 2021.

The holders of these securities are 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 our completion of the initial

business combination.

However, the registration rights agreement provides that we will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the

applicable lock-up period, which occurs (i) in the case of the Founder Shares, on the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of our initial business combination or (B) subsequent

to our initial business combination, (x) if the last sale price of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the

like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after our initial business combination, or (y) the date following the completion of our initial business combination on

which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our public shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other

property, and (ii) in the case of the Private Placement Warrants, and the respective Class A ordinary shares underlying such warrants, 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the

registration rights relating to the Founder Shares and the Private Placement Warrants held by the representative shall comply with the requirements of FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(B)-(D), namely that the representative may not exercise its demand and

piggy-back registration rights after five and seven years, respectively, from the commencement of sales of the Public Offering and may not exercise its demand right on more than one occasion.

The Company will bear the expenses

incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Administrative Services

We will reimburse our sponsor and its affiliates for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to members of our

management team in an amount not to exceed $20,000 per month in the event such space and/or services are utilized and the Company does not pay a third party directly for such services, from the date of closing of the Public Offering.
