Management’s Report on Internal Controls
Over Financial Reporting
−Removed: As required by SEC rules and regulations implementing
−Removed: Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
−Removed: Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
−Removed: reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP.
−Removed: Our internal control
−Removed: over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
−Removed: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable
−Removed: detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company;
−Removed: (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded
−Removed: as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being
−Removed: made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and
−Removed: (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
−Removed: detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
−Removed: Because of its inherent limitations, internal
−Removed: control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect errors or misstatements in our financial statements.
−Removed: Also, projections of any
−Removed: evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions,
−Removed: or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
−Removed: Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal
−Removed: control over financial reporting at December 31, 2022.
−Removed: In making these assessments, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee
−Removed: of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013).
−Removed: Based on our assessments
−Removed: and those criteria, management determined that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December
−Removed: 31, 2022 due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described above.
−Removed: To respond to this material weakness, management
−Removed: has devoted, and plans to continue to devote, significant effort and resources to the remediation and improvement of our internal control
+Added: to the Business Combination, we were a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock
+Added: exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more operating businesses.
+Added: As a result, previously existing internal controls are no longer applicable or comprehensive enough as of the assessment date as our
+Added: operations prior to the Business Combination were insignificant compared to those of the consolidated entity post-Business Combination.
+Added: In addition, the design of internal controls over financial reporting for the Company following the Business Combination has required
+Added: and will continue to require significant time and resources from our management and other personnel.
+Added: As a result, our management was
+Added: unable, without incurring unreasonable effort or expense, to conduct an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as
+Added: of December 31, 2023.
+Added: Accordingly, we are excluding management’s report on internal control over financial reporting pursuant to
+Added: Section 215.02 of the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance’s Regulation S-K Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations.
+Added: Plan to Remediate
+Added: Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
+Added: We have taken certain steps,
+Added: such as recruiting additional personnel, in addition to utilizing third-party consultants and specialists, to supplement its internal
+Added: resources, to enhance its internal control environment and plans to take additional steps to remediate the material weaknesses.
+Added: we plan to complete this remediation process as quickly as possible, we cannot at this time estimate how long it will take.
+Added: assure you that the measures we have taken to date and may take in the future, will be sufficient to remediate the control deficiencies
+Added: that led to our material weakness in internal control over financial reporting or that it will prevent or avoid potential future material
+Added: If we are not able to maintain
+Added: effective internal control over financial reporting and Disclosure Controls, or if material weaknesses are discovered in future periods,
+Added: a risk that is significantly increased in light of the complexity of our business, we may be unable to accurately and timely report our
+Added: financial position, results of operations, cash flows or key operating metrics, which could result in late filings of the annual and quarterly
+Added: reports under the Exchange Act, restatements of financial statements or other corrective disclosures, an inability to access commercial
+Added: lending markets, defaults under its secured revolving credit facility and other agreements, or other material adverse effects on our business,
+Added: reputation, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
+Added: Attestation Report of Registered Public Accounting Firm
+Added: This Annual Report on Form
+Added: 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm due to the Company’s status as an
+Added: EGC and is exempted from the auditor attestation requirement of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
+Added: Changes in Internal
+Added: Control over Financial Reporting
+Added: than the material weakness and remediation efforts described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial
+Added: reporting during the fourth quarter that would have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting .
−Removed: While we have processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, we are enhancing
−Removed: our system of evaluating and implementing the accounting standards that apply to our financial statements, including through enhanced
−Removed: analyses by our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications.
−Removed: The elements of
−Removed: our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the
−Removed: intended effects.
−Removed: This Annual Report does not include an attestation
−Removed: report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to our status as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act.
−Removed: Changes in Internal Control over Financial
−Removed: Other than as discussed herein, there were no
−Removed: changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2022 that have materially affected,
−Removed: or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
+Added: on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
+Added: do not expect that our Disclosure Controls will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud.
+Added: Disclosure Controls, no matter how well
+Added: conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the Disclosure Controls are met.
+Added: the design of Disclosure Controls must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative
+Added: to their costs.
+Added: Because of the inherent limitations in all Disclosure Controls, no evaluation of Disclosure Controls can provide absolute
+Added: assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any.
+Added: The design of Disclosure Controls also is
+Added: based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed
+Added: in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

−Removed: and (ii) we renounce any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered an
−Removed: opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for any director or officer on

+Added: committee was at any time during 2023, or at any other time, one of Complete Solaria’s officers or employees, except Mr.
+Added: who served as Complete Solaria’s president until March 2023.
+Added: None of Complete Solaria’s executive officers has served as a
+Added: director or member of a compensation committee (or other committee serving an equivalent function) of any entity, one of whose executive
+Added: officers served as a director of our board of directors or member of the compensation committee.
+Added: Independence of the
+Added: Board of Directors
+Added: Nasdaq rules generally require that independent directors must comprise a majority of a
+Added: listed company’s board of directors.
+Added: Based upon information requested from and provided by each proposed director concerning
+Added: his or her background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, we have determined that Messrs.
+Added: Whatley, Thiam, Gishen and Pasek, representing a majority of Complete Solaria’s proposed directors, are
+Added: “independent” as that term is defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing requirements
+Added: and rules of Nasdaq.
+Added: Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
+Added: to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, executive officers, directors, and holders of more than 10% of the Complete Solaria’s common
+Added: stock are required to file reports of their trading in Complete Solaria equity securities with the SEC.
+Added: Based solely on a review of the
+Added: copies of such reports filed with the SEC during with respect to the last fiscal year, and written representations from certain reporting
+Added: persons that no other filings were required, Complete Solaria believes that all filings required to be made by its reporting persons complied
+Added: with all applicable Section 16 filing requirements during fiscal year 2023.

+Added: received any cash compensation for services rendered to FACT.
+Added: FACT paid its sponsor or an affiliate thereof up to $10,000 per month for
+Added: office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services provided to members of our management team and other expenses
and obligations of our sponsor.
−Removed: We cannot assure you that any of the above mentioned
−Removed: conflicts will be resolved in our favor.
−Removed: In the event that we submit our initial business
−Removed: combination to our public shareholders for a vote, our initial shareholders, sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to vote any founder
−Removed: shares held by them, and they have agreed to vote any founder shares and public shares held by them in favor of our initial business combination.
−Removed: Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
−Removed: Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to
−Removed: which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the
−Removed: extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification
−Removed: against willful default, fraud or the consequences of committing a crime.
−Removed: Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association
−Removed: provide for indemnification of our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by law, including for any liability incurred
−Removed: in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, willful default or willful neglect.
−Removed: We have purchased a policy of
−Removed: directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement
−Removed: or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.
−Removed: also entered into indemnity agreements with them.
−Removed: Our officers and directors have agreed to waive
−Removed: any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the trust account, and have agreed to waive any right, title, interest
−Removed: or claim of any kind they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any services provided to us and will not seek recourse
−Removed: against the trust account for any reason whatsoever.
−Removed: Accordingly, any indemnification provided will only be able to be satisfied by us
−Removed: if (i) we have sufficient funds outside of the trust account or (ii) we consummate an initial business combination.
−Removed: Our indemnification obligations may discourage
−Removed: shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against our officers or directors for breach of their fiduciary duty.
−Removed: These provisions also may have
−Removed: the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful,
−Removed: might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders.
−Removed: Furthermore, a shareholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent
−Removed: we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against our officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
−Removed: We believe that these provisions, the insurance
−Removed: and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.
+Added: Executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates were reimbursed for any out-of-pocket
+Added: expenses incurred in connection with activities on FACT’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing
+Added: due diligence on suitable business combinations.
+Added: Complete Solaria
+Added: Complete Solaria has opted to comply with
+Added: the executive compensation disclosure rules applicable to emerging growth companies, as FACT is an emerging growth company.
+Added: down disclosure rules are those applicable to “smaller reporting companies,” as such term is defined in the rules promulgated
+Added: under the Securities Act, which require compensation disclosure for Complete Solaria’s principal executive officer and its two most
+Added: highly compensated executive officers other than the principal executive officer whose total compensation for 2023 exceeded $100,000 and

−Removed: our initial business combination.
−Removed: The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements to retain their positions with

−Removed: These loans were non-interest bearing
−Removed: and unsecured, and were repaid upon completion of the initial public offering out of the offering proceeds that had been allocated for
−Removed: the payment of offering expenses (other than underwriting commissions) not held in the trust account.
−Removed: The value of our sponsor’s
−Removed: interest in this loan transaction corresponded to the principal amount outstanding under any such loan.
−Removed: On each of April 1, 2022 and June 6, 2022, we
−Removed: issued an unsecured promissory note in the amount of up to $500,000 to our sponsor (the “Sponsor Notes”).
−Removed: On December 14,
−Removed: 2022, we issued an unsecured promissory note in the amount of up to $325,000 to Tidjane Thiam, Adam Gishen, Edward Zeng, and Abhishek
−Removed: Bhatia (collectively, the “Payees”) (such note, together with the Sponsor Notes, the “Convertible Notes”).
−Removed: proceeds of the Convertible Notes, which may be drawn down from time to time until we consummate our initial business combination, will
−Removed: be used for general working capital purposes.
−Removed: The Convertible Notes bear no interest and are payable in full upon the earlier to occur
−Removed: of (i) twenty-four (24) months from the closing of our initial public offering (or such later date as may be extended in accordance with
−Removed: the terms of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of Association) or (ii) the consummation of our business combination.
−Removed: failure to pay the principal within five business days of the date specified above or the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy
−Removed: action shall be deemed an event of default, in which case the Convertible Notes may be accelerated.
−Removed: Prior to the Company’s first
−Removed: payment of all or any portion of the principal balance of the Convertible Notes in cash, our sponsor and the Payees, as applicable, have
−Removed: the option to convert all, but not less than all, of the principal balance of the Convertible Notes into private placement warrants (the
−Removed: “Conversion Warrants”), each warrant exercisable for one ordinary share of the Company at an exercise price of $1.50 per share.
−Removed: The terms of the Conversion Warrants would be identical to the warrants issued by the Company to the sponsor in a private placement that
−Removed: was consummated in connection with our initial public offering.
−Removed: Our sponsor and the Payees shall be entitled to certain registration rights
−Removed: relating to the Conversion Warrants.
−Removed: The Convertible Notes were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section
−Removed: 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
−Removed: In addition, on February 28, 2023, we issued an
−Removed: additional unsecured promissory note in the amount of up to $2,100,000 to our sponsor, as described under “Item 7.
−Removed: Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Recent Developments—Promissory Note.” The proceeds
−Removed: of such promissory note, $1,600,000 of which was drawn down immediately, $400,000 of which may be drawn down, with
−Removed: the mutual consent of us and our sponsor, if we wish to extend the date by which we will consummate a business combination beyond June
−Removed: 2, 2023, and $100,000 of which may be drawn down on an as-needed basis at the discretion of our sponsor, will be used for general working
−Removed: capital purposes.
−Removed: Such promissory note bears no interest and is payable in full upon the consummation of our business combination.
−Removed: to pay the principal within five business days of the date specified above or the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy
−Removed: action shall be deemed an event of default, in which case the promissory note may be accelerated.
−Removed: The promissory note shall be forgiven
−Removed: by our sponsor if we are unable to consummate a business combination within the time frame specified in our amended and restated memorandum
−Removed: and articles of association (as amended from time to time), except to the extent of any funds held outside of the trust account established
−Removed: in connection with our initial public offering.
−Removed: The issuance of the promissory note was made pursuant to the exemption from registration
−Removed: contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
−Removed: In order to fund working capital deficiencies
−Removed: or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or
−Removed: certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us additional funds as may be required on a non-interest basis.
−Removed: If we complete an initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts.
−Removed: In the event that the initial business combination
−Removed: 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
−Removed: from our trust account would be used for such repayment.
−Removed: Up to $675,000 of such loans may be convertible into private placement warrants
−Removed: of the post business combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender.
−Removed: Such warrants would be identical
−Removed: to the private placement warrants described above.
−Removed: Prior to the completion of our initial business combination, we do not expect to seek
−Removed: 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
−Removed: funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account.
−Removed: Any of the foregoing payments to our sponsor,
−Removed: repayments of loans from our sponsor or repayments of working capital loans prior to our initial business combination will be made using
−Removed: funds held outside the trust account.
−Removed: After our initial business combination, members
−Removed: of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company with any and all
−Removed: amounts being fully disclosed to our shareholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation or tender offer materials, as applicable,
−Removed: furnished to our shareholders.
−Removed: It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of distribution of such tender
−Removed: offer materials or at the time of a general meeting held to consider our initial business combination, as applicable, as it will be up
−Removed: to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive and director compensation.
−Removed: We have entered into a registration rights agreement
−Removed: with respect to the founder shares and private placement warrants, which is described under the heading “Item 12.
−Removed: Security Ownership
−Removed: of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters—Registration Rights.”
−Removed: Policy for Approval of Related Party Transactions
−Removed: The audit committee of our board of directors
−Removed: has adopted a policy setting forth the policies and procedures for its review and approval or ratification of “related party transactions.”
−Removed: A “related party transaction” is any consummated or proposed transaction or series of transactions:
−Removed: (i) in which the company
−Removed: was or is to be a participant;
−Removed: (ii) the amount of which exceeds (or is reasonably expected to exceed) the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of
−Removed: the average of the company’s total assets at year end for the prior two completed fiscal years in the aggregate over the duration
−Removed: of the transaction (without regard to profit or loss);
−Removed: and (iii) in which a “related party” had, has or will have a direct
−Removed: or indirect material interest.
−Removed: “Related parties” under this policy will include:
−Removed: (i) our directors, nominees for director
−Removed: (ii) any record or beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities;
−Removed: (iii) any immediate family member
−Removed: of any of the foregoing if the foregoing person is a natural person;
−Removed: and (iv) any other person who maybe a “related person”
−Removed: pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act.
−Removed: Pursuant to the policy, the audit committee will consider (i) the relevant
−Removed: facts and circumstances of each related party transaction, including if the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be
−Removed: obtained in arm’s-length dealings with an unrelated third party, (ii) the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction,
−Removed: (iii) whether the transaction contravenes our code of ethics or other policies, (iv) whether the audit committee believes the relationship
−Removed: underlying the transaction to be in the best interests of the company and its shareholders and (v) the effect that the transaction may
−Removed: have on a director’s status as an independent member of the board and on his or her eligibility to serve on the board’s committees.
−Removed: Management will present to the audit committee each proposed related party transaction, including all relevant facts and circumstances
−Removed: relating thereto.
−Removed: Under the policy, we may consummate related party transactions only if our audit committee approves or ratifies the
−Removed: transaction in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the policy.
−Removed: The policy will not permit any director or officer to participate
−Removed: in the discussion of, or decision concerning, a related person transaction in which he or she is the related party.
−Removed: Director Independence
−Removed: The rules of the NYSE require that a majority
−Removed: of our board of directors be independent within one year of our initial public offering.
−Removed: An “independent director” is defined
−Removed: generally as a person who, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, has no material relationship with the listed company
−Removed: (either directly or as a partner, shareholder, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company).
−Removed: board of directors has determined that Nell Cady-Kruse, Noreen Doyle and William Janetschek are “independent directors” as
−Removed: defined in the NYSE listing standards and applicable SEC rules.
−Removed: Our independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only
−Removed: independent directors are present.

−Removed: statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ (deficit) equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended
−Removed: December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).
−Removed: In our opinion, the financial
−Removed: statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results
−Removed: of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles
−Removed: generally accepted in the United States of America.
−Removed: Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern
−Removed: The accompanying financial statements have been
−Removed: prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
−Removed: As more fully described in Note 1, the Company’s business plan
−Removed: is dependent on the completion of a business combination and the Company’s cash and working capital as of December 31, 2022 are
−Removed: not sufficient to complete its planned activities.
−Removed: These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue
−Removed: as a going concern.
−Removed: Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1.
−Removed: The financial statements do not
−Removed: include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

−Removed: federal securities laws and the applicable
−Removed: rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
−Removed: We conducted our audits in accordance with the
−Removed: standards of the PCAOB.
−Removed: Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
−Removed: statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
−Removed: The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged
−Removed: to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding
−Removed: of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
−Removed: internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
−Removed: Our audits included performing procedures to assess
−Removed: the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond
−Removed: to those risks.
−Removed: Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
−Removed: Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
−Removed: the overall presentation of the financial statements.
−Removed: We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

−Removed: Warrant, which is discussed in Note 5.
−Removed: Transaction costs amounted to $ 19,175,922 , consisting of $ 6,405,000 of
−Removed: underwriting fees, $ 12,075,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $ 695,922 of other offering costs.
−Removed: Of the total transaction
−Removed: cost, $ 575,278 was expensed as non-operating expenses in the consolidated statement of operations with the rest of the offering cost
−Removed: charged to shareholders’ deficit for the year ended December 31, 2021.
−Removed: The transaction costs were allocated based on the relative
−Removed: fair value basis, compared to the total offering proceeds, between the fair value of the public warrant liabilities and the Class A ordinary
−Removed: Trust Account
−Removed: Following the closing of the IPO on March 2, 2021,
−Removed: an amount of $ 345,000,000 from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants
−Removed: was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”).
−Removed: The funds in the Trust Account have, since the IPO and until the 24-month anniversary
−Removed: of the consummation of the IPO, been invested in U.S.
−Removed: government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment
−Removed: 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
−Removed: meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company.
−Removed: To mitigate the risk of
−Removed: the Company being deemed to have been operating as an unregistered investment company, prior to the 24-month anniversary of
−Removed: the consummation of the IPO, the Company instructed Continental, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S.
−Removed: government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the Trust Account and to hold all the funds in the Trust Account in cash
−Removed: in a bank deposit account.
−Removed: Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company
−Removed: to pay its tax obligations, the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the private placement units will not be released from the Trust
−Removed: Account until the earliest of (a) the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any public
−Removed: shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation,
−Removed: and (c) the redemption of the Company’s public shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination during
−Removed: the Combination Period (as defined below), subject to applicable law.
−Removed: The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject
−Removed: to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public shareholders.
−Removed: Initial Business Combination
−Removed: The Company’s management has broad discretion
−Removed: with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to
−Removed: be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination.
−Removed: The Company’s Business Combination must
−Removed: be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80 % of the balance in the Trust Account
−Removed: (net of taxes payable) at the time of the signing an agreement to enter into a Business Combination.
−Removed: However, the Company will only complete
−Removed: a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50 % or more of the outstanding voting securities
−Removed: of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment
−Removed: company under the Investment Company Act.
−Removed: There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.
−Removed: The Company will provide its public shareholders
−Removed: with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either
−Removed: (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer.
−Removed: decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer
−Removed: will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion.
−Removed: The shareholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion
−Removed: of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (initially $ 10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held
−Removed: in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations).
−Removed: The Class A ordinary shares subject to
−Removed: redemption are recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO, in accordance with
−Removed: Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case,
−Removed: the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $ 5,000,001 either
−Removed: immediately prior to or upon consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of
−Removed: the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.
−Removed: On February 28, 2023, the Company’s shareholders
−Removed: approved an amendment to its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which the Company must
−Removed: complete a Business Combination from March 2, 2023 to June 2, 2023, and to thereafter further extend such period up to three times by
−Removed: an additional one month each time (up to September 2, 2023) (such period, as may be extended, the “Combination Period”).
−Removed: if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will redeem 100 % of the outstanding
−Removed: public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust
−Removed: Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company, divided by the number
−Removed: of then outstanding public shares, subject to applicable law and as further described in the registration statement, and then seek to
−Removed: dissolve and liquidate.
−Removed: The Company’s Sponsor, officers and directors
−Removed: have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private placement shares and public shares in connection
−Removed: with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and public
−Removed: shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation,
−Removed: and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares and private placement
−Removed: shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.
−Removed: The Company’s Sponsor has agreed that it
−Removed: 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,
−Removed: or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement
−Removed: or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $ 10.00 per public share
−Removed: and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less
−Removed: than $ 10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not
−Removed: 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
−Removed: the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the
−Removed: underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
−Removed: However, the Company has not asked its Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently
−Removed: verified whether its Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Company’s Sponsor’s
−Removed: only assets are securities of the Company.
−Removed: Therefore, the Company cannot assure that its Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.
−Removed: As of December 31, 2022, the Company had cash outside the Trust Account
−Removed: of $ 72,923 available for working capital needs.
−Removed: All remaining cash held in the Trust Account is generally unavailable for the Company’s
−Removed: use prior to an initial Business Combination and is restricted for use either in a Business Combination or to redeem ordinary shares.
−Removed: The Company may elect to withdraw from the interest income earned on the trust account to pay the Company’s tax obligations.
−Removed: of December 31, 2022, the Company had interest income earned on the trust account of $ 4,821,632 .
−Removed: The Company may raise additional capital through
−Removed: loans or additional investments from the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of its directors and officers.
−Removed: may, but is not obligated to, lend the Company funds, from time to time in whatever amounts it deems reasonable in its sole discretion,
−Removed: to meet the Company’s working capital needs.
−Removed: There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing,
−Removed: Moreover, the Company may need to obtain additional financing either to complete its Business Combination or because the Company
−Removed: becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of its public shares upon consummation of its Business Combination, in which case the
−Removed: Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.
−Removed: Subject to compliance with applicable
−Removed: securities laws, the Company would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of its Business Combination.
−Removed: If the Company is unable to raise additional capital,
−Removed: it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing
−Removed: operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction and reducing overhead expenses.
−Removed: The Company cannot provide any assurance
−Removed: that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
−Removed: Going Concern
−Removed: In connection with the Company’s
−Removed: assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern,” pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the
−Removed: Company has until the end of the Combination Period to consummate a Business Combination.
−Removed: If a Business Combination is not
−Removed: consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company.
−Removed: Although the Company
−Removed: intends to consummate a Business Combination during the Combination Period, it is uncertain that the Company will be able to do so.
−Removed: This, as well as its liquidity condition, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
−Removed: No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate at the
−Removed: end of the Combination Period.
−Removed: Risks and Uncertainties
−Removed: Management is currently evaluating the
−Removed: impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia-Ukraine war and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus and war
−Removed: could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target
−Removed: company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements.
−Removed: The consolidated financial
−Removed: statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
−Removed: Consideration of IR Act Excise Tax
−Removed: On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act
−Removed: of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law.
−Removed: The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S.
−Removed: federal 1 % excise
−Removed: tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly-traded U.S.
−Removed: domestic corporations and certain U.S.
−Removed: domestic subsidiaries of publicly-traded
−Removed: foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023.
−Removed: The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its
−Removed: shareholders from which shares are repurchased.
−Removed: The amount of the excise tax is generally 1 % of the fair market value of the shares repurchased
−Removed: at the time of the repurchase.
−Removed: However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the
−Removed: fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year.
−Removed: certain exceptions apply to the excise tax.
−Removed: Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority
−Removed: to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.
−Removed: Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs
−Removed: after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax.
−Removed: and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise
−Removed: would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business
−Removed: Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE”
−Removed: or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination
−Removed: but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury.
−Removed: In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment
−Removed: of the excise tax have not been determined.
−Removed: The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business
−Removed: Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.
−Removed: Note 2 — Revision of Previously-Issued Financial Statements
−Removed: In connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements
−Removed: as of December 31, 2022, the Company identified an error in amounts reported in certain of the Company’s previously-issued financial
−Removed: statements related to accounts payable.
−Removed: The Company incorrectly recorded intercompany operating bank transfers as payables whereas Legal
−Removed: and Professional Services was the accompanying debit in each transaction recorded.
−Removed: As a result, management determined that accounts payable
−Removed: and operational costs as of June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 were overstated by $ 205,869 .
−Removed: The following tables contain the revised financial information for
−Removed: the affected periods previously reported.
−Removed: The revisions do not have an impact on the Company’s cash position and investments held
−Removed: in the Trust Account established in connection with the Initial Public Offering.
−Removed: The Company has not amended its previously filed Quarterly
−Removed: Reports on Form 10-Q for the two quarterly periods in 2022.
−Removed: The financial information that has been previously filed or otherwise reported
−Removed: for these affected periods are superseded by the information below in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
−Removed: The impact of the revision on the Company’s financial statements
−Removed: is reflected in the following tables:

−Removed: Note 3 — Significant Accounting Policies
−Removed: Basis of Presentation
−Removed: The accompanying financial statements are presented
−Removed: in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules
−Removed: and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
−Removed: Principles of Consolidation
−Removed: The accompanying consolidated financial
−Removed: statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary.
−Removed: All significant intercompany balances and transactions
−Removed: have been eliminated in consolidation.
−Removed: Emerging Growth Company
−Removed: The Company is an “emerging growth company,”
−Removed: as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”),
−Removed: and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that
−Removed: are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements
−Removed: of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and
−Removed: proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder
−Removed: approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
−Removed: Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth
−Removed: companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that
−Removed: have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange
−Removed: Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards.
−Removed: The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to
−Removed: opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election
−Removed: to opt out is irrevocable.
−Removed: The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard
−Removed: is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company,
−Removed: can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.
−Removed: This may make comparison of the
−Removed: Company’s consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an
−Removed: emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences
−Removed: in accounting standards used.
−Removed: Use of Estimates
−Removed: The preparation of the consolidated financial statements
−Removed: in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
−Removed: and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts
−Removed: of expenses during the reporting period.
−Removed: Actual results could differ from those estimates.
−Removed: Estimates made in preparing these consolidated financial statements
−Removed: include, among other things, the fair value measurement of the Private Warrant liabilities.
−Removed: Cash and Cash Equivalents
−Removed: The Company considers all short-term investments
−Removed: with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
−Removed: The Company did not have any cash equivalents
−Removed: as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.
−Removed: Investments Held in Trust Account
−Removed: At December 31, 2022, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in a money market fund with a maturity of 180 days or less.
−Removed: At December 31, 2021, the assets held in the Trust Account
−Removed: were held in cash and U.S.
−Removed: Treasury securities.
−Removed: The Company classifies its United States Treasury securities as held-to-maturity in
−Removed: accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 320, “Investments—Debt and Equity Securities.” Held-to-maturity securities
−Removed: are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity.
−Removed: Held-to-maturity treasury securities
−Removed: are recorded at amortized cost and adjusted for the amortization or remeasurement of premiums or discounts.
−Removed: As of December 31, 2022, investment in the
−Removed: Company’s Trust Account consisted of $ 349,927,313 in a money market fund with a maturity of 180 days or less.
−Removed: Following the
−Removed: maturity of the U.S.
−Removed: Treasury Securities on December 1, 2022, the Company immediately reinvested the entirety of the Trust Account
−Removed: into a money market fund.
−Removed: The money market fund is disclosed at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet.
−Removed: As of December 31,
−Removed: 2021, investment in the Company’s Trust Account consisted of $ 484 in cash and $ 345,105,197 in U.S.
−Removed: All of the U.S.
−Removed: Treasury Securities (the “T-bills”) matured on March 3, 2022 and the Company purchased new
−Removed: The Company considers all investments with original maturities of more than three months but less than one year to be
−Removed: short-term investments.
−Removed: The carrying value approximates the fair value due to its short-term maturity.
−Removed: The carrying value, excluding
−Removed: gross unrealized holding losses and fair value of held to maturity securities on December 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:
−Removed: Money Market Funds
−Removed: $ 349,927,313
−Removed: Treasury Securities
−Removed: $ 345,105,681
−Removed: $ 345,099,616
−Removed: A decline in the market value of held-to-maturity securities below
−Removed: cost that is deemed to be other than temporary results in an impairment that reduces the carrying costs to such securities’ fair
−Removed: The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established.
−Removed: To determine whether an impairment
−Removed: is other than temporary, the Company considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery
−Removed: and considers whether evidence indicating the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary.
−Removed: Evidence considered
−Removed: in this assessment includes the reasons for the impairment, the severity and the duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent
−Removed: to year-end, forecasted performance of the investee, and the general market condition in the geographic area or industry the
−Removed: investee operates in.
−Removed: Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted
−Removed: over the life of the related held-to-maturity security as an adjustment to yield using the effective-interest method.
−Removed: Such amortization
−Removed: and remeasurement are included in the “interest income” line item in the statements of operations.
−Removed: Interest income is recognized
−Removed: Convertible Promissory Notes—Related Party
−Removed: The Company accounts for its convertible promissory notes under ASC
−Removed: 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”).
−Removed: Under ASC 815-15-25, the election can be at the inception of a financial
−Removed: instrument to account for the instrument under the fair value option under ASC 825.
−Removed: The Company has made such election for its convertible
−Removed: promissory notes.
−Removed: Using the fair value option, the convertible promissory notes are required to be recorded at their initial fair value
−Removed: on the date of issuance, each drawdown date, and each balance sheet date thereafter.
−Removed: Differences between the face value of the note and
−Removed: fair value at each drawdown date are recognized as either an expense in the consolidated statements of operations (if issued at a premium)
−Removed: or as a capital contribution (if issued at a discount).
−Removed: Changes in the estimated fair value of the notes are recognized as non-cash gains
−Removed: or losses in the consolidated statements of operations.
−Removed: Changes in the estimated fair value of the note are recognized as non-cash change
−Removed: in the fair value of the convertible promissory notes in the consolidated statements of operations.
−Removed: Concentration of Credit Risk
−Removed: Financial instruments that potentially subject
−Removed: the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal
−Removed: Depository Insurance Coverage of $ 250,000 .
−Removed: At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company has not experienced losses on this account.
−Removed: Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
−Removed: The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible
−Removed: redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A ordinary shares
−Removed: subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value.
−Removed: Conditionally redeemable
−Removed: ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject
−Removed: to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity.
−Removed: At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ deficit.
−Removed: The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain
−Removed: redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events.
−Removed: Accordingly, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 34,500,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented
−Removed: at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s consolidated balance
−Removed: sheets, respectively.
−Removed: Net Income Per Ordinary Share
−Removed: The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class
−Removed: A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares.
−Removed: Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares.
−Removed: The 14,891,667 potential
−Removed: ordinary shares for outstanding warrants to purchase the Company’s shares were excluded from diluted earnings per share for the
−Removed: years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 because the warrants are contingently exercisable, and the contingencies have not yet been met.
−Removed: As a result, diluted net income per ordinary share is the same as basic net income per ordinary share for the periods presented.
−Removed: below presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net income per share for each class
−Removed: of ordinary share:
−Removed: For the Years Ended
−Removed: Basic and diluted net income per share:
−Removed: Allocation of net income
−Removed: Weighted average shares outstanding
−Removed: Basic and diluted net income per share
−Removed: Offering Costs
−Removed: The Company complies with the requirements
−Removed: of the ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A - “Expenses of Offering”.
−Removed: Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to
−Removed: the Public Offering and that were charged to temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO.
−Removed: Accordingly, on December 31, 2022,
−Removed: offering costs totaling $ 19,175,922 have been charged to temporary equity (consisting of $ 6,405,000 of underwriting fees,
−Removed: $ 12,075,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $ 695,922 of other offering costs).
−Removed: Of the total transaction cost,
−Removed: $ 575,278 was recorded as a non-operating expense in the consolidated statements of operations, with the rest of the offering
−Removed: cost charged to temporary equity.
−Removed: The transaction costs were allocated based on the relative fair value basis, compared to the total
−Removed: offering proceeds, between the fair value of the public warrant liabilities and the Class A ordinary shares.
−Removed: As of October 25, 2022,
−Removed: and November 2, 2022, respectively, J.P.
−Removed: Morgan Securities LLC and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.
−Removed: have waived their portions of the
−Removed: deferred underwriting fee which is reflected in the consolidated statement of operations and the consolidated statement of changes
−Removed: in shareholders’ deficit as a reduction of transaction costs incurred in connection with IPO.
−Removed: Therefore, the deferred underwriting fee was
−Removed: reduced by $ 9,056,250 , of which $ 271,687 is shown in the consolidated statement of operations as a reduction of transaction
−Removed: costs incurred in connection with the IPO and $ 8,784,563 is charged to additional paid-in capital in the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ deficit.
−Removed: As a result of the reductions, the outstanding deferred underwriting fee payable was reduced to
−Removed: $ 3,018,750 .
−Removed: Fair Value of Financial Instruments
−Removed: The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which
−Removed: qualify as financial instruments under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements
−Removed: and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the consolidated balance sheets.
−Removed: Derivative Warrant Liabilities
−Removed: The Company does not use derivative instruments
−Removed: to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.
−Removed: The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including
−Removed: issued share purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives,
−Removed: pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815-15.
−Removed: The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded

−Removed: the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration or redemption of the
−Removed: warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement.
−Removed: If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares
−Removed: issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant
−Removed: holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to
−Removed: maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9)
−Removed: of the Securities Act or another exemption.
−Removed: Notwithstanding the above, if the Company’s Class A ordinary shares are at the time
−Removed: of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security”
−Removed: under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants
−Removed: to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects,
−Removed: it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, it will
−Removed: use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is
−Removed: not available.
−Removed: In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering each such warrant for that number of Class A
−Removed: ordinary shares equal to the lesser of (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A ordinary
−Removed: shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) less the exercise price
−Removed: of the warrants by (y) the fair market value and (B) 0.361.
−Removed: The “fair market value” as used in this paragraph shall mean
−Removed: the volume weighted average price of the Class A ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date
−Removed: on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent.
−Removed: The exercise price and number of shares issuable
−Removed: upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend or recapitalization,
−Removed: reorganization, merger or consolidation.
−Removed: In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked
−Removed: securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective
−Removed: 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
−Removed: faith by the Company’s board of directors and in the case of any such issuance to the Company’s Sponsors or their affiliates,
−Removed: without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Company’s initial shareholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior
−Removed: to such issuance (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than
−Removed: 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the
−Removed: completion of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume-weighted average trading price of the Company’s
−Removed: Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates
−Removed: its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the
−Removed: 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
−Removed: the $10.00 and $18.00 per share redemption trigger prices described below under “Redemption of warrants when the price per Class
−Removed: A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00” and “Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or
−Removed: exceeds $18.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 100% and 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly
−Removed: Issued Price, respectively.
−Removed: Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Class A
−Removed: Ordinary Share Equals or Exceeds $18.00
−Removed: Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company
−Removed: may redeem the outstanding warrants (except with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):
−Removed: ● in whole and not in part;
−Removed: ● at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
−Removed: ● upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant
−Removed: ● if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period
−Removed: ending three business days before the Company sends to the notice of redemption to the warrant holders (the “Reference Value”)
−Removed: equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and
−Removed: Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Class A
−Removed: Ordinary Share Equals or Exceeds $10.00
−Removed: Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company
−Removed: may redeem the outstanding warrants:
−Removed: ● in whole and not in part;
−Removed: ● at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise
−Removed: their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined by reference to an agreed table based
−Removed: on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of the Class A ordinary shares;
−Removed: ● if, and only if, the Reference Value equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations,
−Removed: reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like);
−Removed: ● if the Reference Value is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations,
−Removed: recapitalizations and the like) the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the
−Removed: outstanding public warrants, as described above.
−Removed: Note 10 — Fair Value Measurements
−Removed: Fair value is defined as the price that would
−Removed: be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
−Removed: GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.
−Removed: The hierarchy gives
−Removed: the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the
−Removed: lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
−Removed: These tiers include:
−Removed: ● Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;
−Removed: ● Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted
−Removed: prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active;
−Removed: ● Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own
−Removed: assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers
−Removed: are unobservable.
−Removed: The following table presents information about
−Removed: the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2022 and 2021 and indicates
−Removed: the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:
−Removed: Quoted Prices In
−Removed: Investments held in trust account- U.S.

−Removed: Convertible Note – December 14, 2022
−Removed: Total Warrant liabilities
−Removed: For the year ended December 31, 2022, as a result
−Removed: of the recent decline in trading volume within the period, the public warrants were transferred to and are currently classified as Level
−Removed: 2 securities.

−Removed: Warrant liabilities – Private warrants
−Removed: Total Warrant liabilities
−Removed: The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation
−Removed: model for the initial valuation of the Public Warrants.
−Removed: The subsequent measurement of the Public Warrants as of December 31, 2022 and
−Removed: 2021, is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market.
−Removed: The Company utilizes a binomial lattice
−Removed: simulation model to value the private placement warrants and the convertible promissory notes at each reporting period, with changes
−Removed: in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
−Removed: The estimated fair value of the warrant liability is
−Removed: determined using Level 3 inputs.
−Removed: Inherent in a binomial options pricing model are assumptions related to expected share-price
−Removed: volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield.
−Removed: The Company estimates the volatility of its ordinary shares
−Removed: based on historical volatility that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants.
−Removed: The risk-free interest rate is based on the
−Removed: Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants.
−Removed: expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term.
−Removed: The dividend rate is based on the
−Removed: historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain at zero.
−Removed: The aforementioned warrant liabilities are not
−Removed: subject to qualified hedge accounting.
−Removed: Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are
−Removed: recognized at the end of the reporting period in which a change in valuation technique or methodology occurs.
−Removed: The value of the
−Removed: securities transferred from a Level 2 measurement to a Level 1 measurement during the year ended December 31, 2022 was
−Removed: $ 348,810,523 .
−Removed: There was a transfer of $ 1,725,000 from Level 1 to Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy for Public Warrants during the
−Removed: year ended December 31, 2022.

−Removed: Agreement contemplated no such prong (y)).
