TEVOGEN
BIO HOLDINGS INC.
NOTES
TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS
Tevogen
Bio Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is a clinical-stage specialty immunotherapy company harnessing
the power of CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes to develop off-the-shelf, precision T cell therapeutics for the treatment of infectious diseases
and cancers. The Company’s precision T cell technology, ExacTcell, is a set of processes and methodologies to develop, enrich,
and expand single human leukocyte antigen-restricted CTL therapies with proactively selected, precisely defined targets. The Company
has completed a Phase 1 proof-of-concept trial for the first clinical product of ExacTcell, TVGN 489, for the treatment of ambulatory,
high-risk adult COVID-19 patients, and has other product candidates in its pipeline.
On
February 14, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger dated June 28, 2023 (the “Merger
Agreement”), by and among Semper Paratus Acquisition Corporation (“Semper Paratus”), Semper Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of Semper Paratus (“Merger Sub”) SSVK Associates, LLC, (the “Sponsor”) Tevogen Bio Inc (n/k/a
Tevogen Bio Inc.) (“Tevogen Bio”), and Dr. Ryan Saadi in his capacity as seller representative, Merger Sub merged with and
into Tevogen Bio with Tevogen Bio being the surviving company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger,”
and together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”), and Semper Paratus
was renamed Tevogen Bio Holdings Inc.
In
connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), the then-outstanding shares of common stock of Tevogen
Bio, were converted into shares of the common stock of the Company at an exchange ratio of approximately 4.85 shares of Company common
stock for each share of Tevogen Bio common stock (the “Exchange Ratio”). See Note 4 for more information on the Business
Combination.
As
discussed in Note 4, the Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization under which the historical financial statements of the
Company prior to the Merger are those of Tevogen Bio. All information related to the common stock of Tevogen Bio prior to the Closing
and presented in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio.
Following
the Merger, the former equity holders and holders of convertible promissory notes of Tevogen Bio held 91.0 % of the outstanding shares
of common stock of the Company and the former shareholders, creditors, and other contractual counterparties of Semper Paratus held 9.1 %
of the Company.
NOTE
2. DEVELOPMENT-STAGE RISKS AND LIQUIDITY
The
Company has generally incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. The Company anticipates incurring additional
losses until such time, if ever, that it can generate significant sales from its product candidates currently in development. Management
believes that cash of $ 2,330,681 as of September 30, 2024, the $ 2,000,000 received for the sale of Series C Preferred Stock subsequent
to September 30, 2024, and the Loan Agreement entered into in June 2024 (as defined in Note 7), which allows the Company to draw down
term loans of $ 1,000,000 per month over thirty-six months for an initial total of $ 36,000,000 , will allow the Company to have adequate
cash and financial resources to operate for at least the next 12 months from the date of issuance of these unaudited consolidated financial
statements. The Company does not plan to initiate a clinical trial until additional funding is received.
Management
regularly evaluates different strategies to obtain funding for operations for subsequent periods. These strategies may include but are
not limited to private placements of securities, licensing and/or marketing arrangements, partnerships with other pharmaceutical or biotechnology
companies, and public offerings of securities. The Company may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms and the Company may
not be able to enter into strategic alliances or other arrangements on favorable terms. The terms of any financing may adversely affect
the holdings or the rights of the Company’s stockholders. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient funding, the Company could
be required to delay, reduce or eliminate research and development programs, product portfolio expansion, or future commercialization
efforts, which could adversely affect its business prospects.
Operations
since inception have consisted primarily of organizing the Company, securing financing, developing licensed technologies, performing
research, conducting pre-clinical studies and a clinical trial, and pursuing and completing the Business Combination. The Company is
subject to risks associated with any specialty biotechnology company that requires considerable expenditures for research and development.
The Company’s research and development projects may not be successful, products developed may not obtain necessary regulatory approval,
and any approved product may not be commercially viable. In addition, the Company operates in an environment of rapid technological change
and is largely dependent on the services of its employees and consultants.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
summary of significant accounting policies included in the Company’s annual financial statements that can be found in Exhibit 99.1
of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on April 29, 2024 (the “Form 8-K”), have not materially
changed, except as reflected in the following:
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Any reference
in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). In the opinion
of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring
nature, (which consist primarily of accruals, estimates, and assumptions that impact the consolidated financial statements) that are
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying
unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Tevogen Bio filed as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to the Form 8-K. The interim
results for the period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024,
or for any future interim periods.
Use
of Estimates
In
preparing unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts
of expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed, and the effects of
revisions are reflected in the unaudited consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary.
Significant
areas that require management’s estimates include the fair value of the common stock and convertible promissory notes prior to
the Merger, the fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and Series C Preferred Stock, fair value of the
purchase options under the Loan Agreement, stock-based compensation assumptions, the estimated useful lives of property and equipment
and accrued research and development expenses.
Freestanding
and Embedded Common Stock Purchase Options
Equity-linked
purchase options issued in connection with the Company’s debt agreements are assessed to determine whether they are freestanding
or embedded with the host instrument under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC
815”). Each type of purchase option is then assessed for equity or liability classification under ASC 815. The Company’s
embedded and freestanding purchase options were determined to be liability-classified derivative instruments and are measured at fair
value both on the date of issuance and at each subsequent balance sheet date, with changes in fair value recorded to ‘Change in

Concentrations
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company
maintains deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced
any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant risk on its cash.
Segment
Reporting
Operating
segments are defined as components of an entity for which discrete financial information is both available and regularly reviewed by
its chief operating decision maker or decision-making group. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one segment.

NOTES
TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Warrants
As
the result of the Merger, the Company accounts for its warrants originally sold as part of Semper Paratus’s initial public offering
(the “IPO”) in accordance with ASC 815 and ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”).
The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments and meet the definition of a liability pursuant
to ASC 480 and meet all of the conditions for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the
Company’s own shares of common stock, among other conditions. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment,
is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as
a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria
for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance
sheet date thereafter until settlement. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash loss on the
consolidated statements of operations. Under these standards, the Company’s private placement warrants sold at the time of the
IPO do not meet the criteria for equity classification and must be recorded as liabilities while the public warrants sold in connection
with the IPO do meet the criteria for equity classification and must be recorded as equity.
Fair
Value Measurements
Certain
assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or
paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants on the measurement date. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs
and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements,
the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following
levels:
Level
1
Unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level
2
Observable
inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar, but not identical, assets or liabilities in active markets;
quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable
or can be corroborated by observable market data;
Level
3
Unobservable
inputs in which there is little or no market data available and which require the Company to develop its own assumptions that market
participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
Financial
instruments recognized at historical amounts in the balance sheets consist of accounts payable and notes payable. The Company believes
that the carrying value of accounts payable and notes payable approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The
Company’s recurring fair value measurements consist of the convertible promissory notes prior to the Merger, for which the Company
elected the fair value option to reduce accounting complexity and private warrants after the Merger. Such fair value measurements are
Level 3 inputs. The following table provides a roll-forward of the aggregate fair values of the Company’s convertible promissory
notes.

The
Company used the probability weighted expected return method valuation methodology to determine the fair value of the convertible promissory
notes prior to the Merger. Significant assumptions and ranges used in determining the fair value of convertible promissory notes prior
to the Merger included volatility ( 80 %), discount rate ( 35 % - 36 %), and probability of a future liquidity event ( 85 % - 95 %). The Company
used its stock price on the Closing Date to determine the fair value for the conversion derecognition of the convertible promissory notes
on the Closing Date.
There
were no transfers between levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

The
Company’s nonrecurring fair value measurements consist of Series A Preferred Stock. Such fair value measurements are Level 3 inputs.
The Company determined the fair value of Series A Preferred Stock using a Monte Carlo Simulation (“MCS”). Key inputs utilized
in the MCS to estimate fair value of Series A Preferred Stock included a range of volatility between 75 % to 85 %, a holding period to
a deemed liquidation event, as defined in the Series A Preferred Stock agreement, ranging from 0.5 to 10.0 years, and a risk-free interest
rate between 4.3 % and 5.3 %. The difference between the cash received of $ 2,000,000 upon issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock and
its estimated fair value was recognized as general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations during the
three months ended March 31, 2024.
The
Company used a MCS valuation methodology to determine the fair value of the freestanding $ 14,000,000 purchase option and remaining embedded
$ 33,000,000 purchase option associated with the Loan Agreement as of September 30, 2024. The MCS methodology simulates the Company’s
future stock price to estimate if and when the Trailing VWAP (as defined below) will reach $ 10.00 per share, and discounts the resulting
payoff back to each valuation date using a present value factor. Significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of these
options include volatility of 78.6 % and discount rate of 3.9 %.
Net
Loss Per Share
The
Company computes basic net loss per share by dividing net loss by the weighted-average common stock outstanding during the period. The
Company determined that each outstanding share of preferred stock and restricted common stock would participate in earnings available
to common stockholders but would not participate in losses. The Company computes diluted net loss per share by dividing the net loss
by the sum of the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding during the period, plus the potential dilutive effects, if any,
of potentially dilutive securities.
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
In
August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and
Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815 -40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s
Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting
models available for convertible debt instruments. ASU 2020-06 also eliminates the treasury stock method to calculate diluted earnings
per share for convertible instruments and requires the use of the if-converted method. Effective January 1, 2024, the Company adopted
ASU 2020-06 and that adoption did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In
November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU

interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, and
contain other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods

NOTE
4. BUSINESS COMBINATION
On
the Closing Date, the Company completed the Business Combination described in Note 1. The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization
under GAAP because Tevogen Bio was determined to be the accounting acquirer based upon the terms of the Merger and other factors, including
that following the Merger, former Tevogen Bio (i) equityholders and holders of convertible promissory notes owned approximately 91.0 %
of the Company, (ii) directors constituted the majority (six of seven) of the directors of the Company, and (iii) management held all
key positions of management of the Company. Accordingly, the Merger was treated as the equivalent of Tevogen Bio issuing stock to acquire
the net assets of Semper Paratus. As a result of the Merger, the net liabilities of Semper Paratus were recorded at their acquisition-date
fair value in the consolidated financial statements and the reported operating results prior to the Merger are those of Tevogen Bio.
Immediately after the Merger, there were 164,614,418 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding.
The
following table shows the net liabilities acquired in the Merger:

the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Former
holders of Tevogen Bio common stock and the Sponsor are eligible to receive up to an aggregate of 24,500,000 shares of common stock (“Earnout
Shares”) if the volume-weighted average price (the “VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock reaches specified threshold
levels during the three-year period commencing on the Closing Date. Refer to Note 5, Earnout Shares, for further details of the earnout
arrangement.
In
connection with the Merger, the Company issued Series B Preferred Stock to the Sponsor in return for the Sponsor assuming $ 3,613,000
of liabilities and obligations (“Assumed Liabilities”) of Semper Paratus and Tevogen Bio. The issuance date fair value of
the Series B Preferred Stock was recorded to Merger transaction costs within the consolidated statements of operations. All of the issued
Series B Preferred Stock was repurchased by the Company during the three months ended June 30, 2024 in exchange for the Sponsor being
released from their obligation to repay the Assumed Liabilities. See Note 9 for additional information.
NOTE
5. EARNOUT SHARES
Following
the Closing, former holders of Tevogen Bio common stock may receive up to 20,000,000 Earnout Shares in tranches of 6,666,667 , 6,666,667 ,
and 6,666,666 shares of common stock per tranche, respectively. The first, second, and third tranches are issuable if the VWAP per share
of the Company’s common stock is greater or equal to $ 15.00 , $ 17.50 , and $ 20.00 , respectively, over any twenty trading days within
any thirty consecutive day trading period during the three-year period after the Closing.
The
Sponsor received the right to Earnout Shares with the same terms above, except that each of the Sponsor’s three earnout tranches
are for 1,500,000 shares of common stock, for an aggregate of 4,500,000 shares of common stock across the entire Sponsor earnout. The
Earnout Shares are a form of dividend for holders of Tevogen Bio common stock, and the Earnout Shares earnable by the Sponsor are treated
as contingent consideration in a reverse recapitalization. In accordance with ASC 815, the Earnout Shares were considered to be indexed
to the Company’s common stock and are classified within permanent equity.

7. DEBT
Loan
Agreement
In
June 2024, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with The Patel Family, LLP (the “Lender”),
a related party of the Company, providing for an unsecured line of credit facility (the “Facility”) for term loans of up
to an initial total of $ 36,000,000 . Under the Facility, the Company may draw up to $ 1,000,000 in term loans per calendar month over a
draw period of 36 months. Each term loan draw will have a maturity date of 48 months and will accrue interest at the lower of (i) daily
SOFR plus 2.00 % and (ii) 7.00 %. Interest accrues quarterly and is payable on the three-month anniversary of the draw date. Interest is
payable in shares of common stock at an effective price of $ 1.50 per share. Principal may be prepaid at any time without penalty, and
repayments or prepayments may be made in cash or common stock at the Company’s election. Payments of principal in common stock
would be made at an effective price of the greater of $ 1.50 per share and the ten-day trailing volume weighted average price per share
of the common stock (the “Trailing VWAP”) as of the trading day prior to payment. As an inducement to enter into the Loan
Agreement, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to the Lender during June 2024. As of September 30, 2024, the Company
has drawn $ 1,000,000 from the Facility with a remaining $ 33,000,000 available for future financing over the remaining 33 months.
The
Loan Agreement includes a purchase option whereby the Lender has the option to purchase up to $ 14,000,000 of shares of common stock at
a purchase price equal to 70 % of the Trailing VWAP per share (the “$ 14 million Purchase Option”). The $ 14 million Purchase
Option only becomes exercisable once Trailing VWAP reaches $ 10.00 per share. The $ 14 million Purchase Option was determined to be a freestanding
derivative liability under ASC 815 and is carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded to change in fair value of written
call option derivatives liabilities within the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows.
The
Loan Agreement also includes a purchase option (the “Additional Amount Purchase Option”) that is identical to the $ 14 million
Purchase Option, except that the option is exercisable for an amount up to the then-remaining undrawn term loan amount under the Loan
Agreement at the time Trailing VWAP reaches $ 10.00 per share. The Additional Amount Purchase Option was determined to be an embedded
derivative within the written loan commitment that requires bifurcation under ASC 815, and thus is carried at fair value with changes
in fair value recorded to change in fair value of written call option derivatives liabilities within the consolidated statements of operations
and consolidated statements of cash flows.
The
$ 14 million Purchase Option and the Additional Amount Purchase Option are recorded to written call option derivative liabilities within
the consolidated balance sheet.
The
Loan Agreement is a written loan commitment that is not eligible for the fair value option under ASC 825, Financial Instruments .
However, management intends to elect the fair value option for future draws under this commitment, and therefore has expensed all issuance
costs associated with the Loan Agreement, which are comprised of the fair value of the 1,000,000 shares of common stock issued to the
Lender as well as the issuance date fair value of the $ 14 million Purchase Option and Additional Amount Purchase Option.
Notes
Payable
As
a result of the Merger, the Company assumed notes payable held by Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (“Polar”) for which the
proceeds were to be used for working capital purposes by Semper Paratus with an outstanding balance of $ 1,651,000 on the Closing Date
and remain outstanding at September 30, 2024. The notes payable do not accrue interest. The outstanding balance of the notes was required
to be repaid in full within five business days of the Merger, and the Company is therefore in default of its obligations at September
30, 2024. The notes’ default provisions do not require the Company to transfer any shares or pay any amounts to Polar. In May 2024,
the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of common stock as loan consideration to Polar.

8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In
connection with the Closing, the Company adopted the Tevogen Bio Holdings Inc. 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”)
and no longer grants awards pursuant to the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”). Each restricted stock unit (“RSU”)
award granted under the 2020 Plan that was outstanding and unvested as of the Closing Date was automatically canceled and converted into
an award under the 2024 Plan with respect to the common stock of the Company (the “Rollover RSUs”). Such Rollover RSUs remain
subject to the same terms and conditions as set forth under the applicable award agreement prior to the Closing.
In
addition to covering the Rollover RSUs, under the 2024 Plan, the Company is authorized to grant awards up to an aggregate 40,000,000
shares of common stock. The 2024 Plan provides for the grant of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock
units, and other equity-based awards. As of September 30, 2024, awards for 19,760,196 shares remained available to be granted under the
2024 Plan.
The
Company has issued RSUs that are subject to either service-based vesting conditions or service-based and performance-based vesting conditions.
Compensation expense for service-based RSUs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. Compensation
expense for service-based and performance-based RSUs (“Performance-Based RSUs”) are recognized when the performance condition,
which is based on a liquidity event condition being satisfied, is deemed probable of achievement.
On
the Closing Date, the Company issued an aggregate of 19,348,954 RSUs under the 2024 Plan to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer,
Dr. Ryan Saadi (the “Special RSU Award”). Such RSUs immediately converted into shares of restricted common stock (“Restricted
Stock”), the restrictions on which lapse in four equal annual installments beginning on February 14, 2031 (“Vesting Period”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Special RSU Award, Dr. Saadi will be entitled to vote the Restricted Stock, but the shares may not be sold,
assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered, subject to forfeit. Dr. Saadi will automatically forfeit all unvested
Restricted Stock in the event he departs the Company. The fair value per share for the Special RSU Award was determined to be $ 4.51 per
share, equivalent to the Company’s stock price on the Closing Date, resulting in a total grant date fair value of $ 87,263,783 .
In accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), the Company will recognize compensation
expense on a straight-line basis from the Closing Date until the completion of the Vesting Period.

NOTES
TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Liquidation
The
Series A ranks senior to common stock and Series C Preferred Stock in liquidation priority. In the event of a liquidation of the Company,
or certain deemed liquidation events, the Series A is redeemable for a price equal to the greater of the Series A Original Issue Price
plus all Series A Accruing Dividends that are unpaid through the redemption date, or such amount that would have been payable had the
Series A converted into shares of common stock immediately before the liquidation or deemed liquidation event.
Voting
The
Series A does not have any voting rights.
Redemption
The
holders of Series A are not entitled to redeem their shares outside of the liquidation of the Company or the occurrence of a deemed liquidation
event. The Company is entitled to redeem that Series A at a price equal to the Series A Original Issue Price plus any Series A Accruing
Dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, if the VWAP of the Company’s common stock exceeds $ 5.00 per share for the twenty days immediately
prior to the Company’s call election .
Conversion
The
holders of Series A have the option to convert the Series A into shares of common stock at a ratio equal to the Series A Original Issue
Price divided by the Series A Conversion Price, which is initially $ 4.00 per share and is subject to standard antidilution adjustments.
Series
A-1 Preferred Stock
On
March 27, 2024, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement with the Series A investor covering the
issuance of 600 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock for a gross purchase price of $ 6,000,000 . The terms of the Series A-1 Preferred
Stock are identical to the Series A, except that the cumulative dividends are capped at 15% per annum, and the Series A-1 Issuance Price
is defined as $ 10,000 per share . As of September 30, 2024, the investor had paid a non-refundable deposit of $ 3,000,000 towards the Series
A-1 purchase price, and no shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock were issued or outstanding.
Series
B Preferred Stock
In
connection with the Closing, the Company entered into an agreement to issue shares of Series B to the Sponsor in return for the Sponsor
assuming certain liabilities and obligations of Semper Paratus and Tevogen Bio. In March 2024, 3,613 shares of Series B were issued in
return for the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities. The issuance date fair value of the Series B was determined to be $ 3,613,000 and
was recorded within Merger transaction costs in the consolidated statements of operations. The Series B was classified as permanent equity.
On
June 15, 2024, the Company and the Sponsor entered into the Preferred Stock Repurchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company repurchased
all outstanding Series B in exchange for the release of the Sponsor from its obligations related to the Assumed Liabilities, but no cash
consideration. The repurchase was recorded as a deemed contribution from a related party and recorded to additional paid-in capital.
As of June 30, 2024, there were no shares of Series B outstanding, and on August 9, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Elimination
to eliminate the Series B. Although the Company was not legally released by the creditors, the Company has made payments towards the
Assumed Liabilities and approximately $ 2.6 million remains on the Company’s balance sheet at September 30, 2024.
Series
C Preferred Stock
On
August 21, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Series C Agreement”) with an investor, pursuant
to which the investor purchased 600 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C”) of the Company at a price of $ 10,000
per share (the “Series C Original Issue Price”), for gross proceeds of $ 6,000,000 .
The
Series C is subject to a call right providing the Company the right to call the stock at any time after the fifth anniversary of the
date of issuance. The Company also agreed that so long as the Series C is outstanding, the Company will not, without the written consent
of the holders of 50.1% of the Series C, amend, alter, or repeal any provision of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or
bylaws in a manner adverse to the Series C. Assessed under accounting guidance within ASC 480 and ASC 815, as the Series C is unregistered
and without mandatory redemption features, the Series C is classified within equity at issued face value as of September 30, 2024.

TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Dividends
The
Series C carries an annual 7.5 % cumulative dividend, compounded annually, beginning on the later of (1) September 30, 2024 and (2) the
date on which the investor has paid the entirety of the purchase price under the Series C Agreement and ending on the last business day
of the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2034 (the “Series C Accruing Dividends”). Dividends will be payable in shares
of Series C or, at the election of the Company, in cash .
Liquidation
The
Series C ranks subordinate to the Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock and ranks senior to common stock in liquidation priority. In
the event of a liquidation of the Company, or certain deemed liquidation events, the Series C is redeemable for a price equal to the
greater of the Series C Original Issue Price plus all Series C Accruing Dividends that are unpaid through the redemption date, or such
asset amount as would have been payable had the Series C converted into shares of common stock immediately before the liquidation or
deemed liquidation event.
Voting
The
Series C does not have any voting rights.
Redemption
The
holders of Series C are not entitled to redeem their shares outside of the liquidation of the Company or the occurrence of a deemed liquidation
event. The Company is entitled to redeem that Series C at a price equal to the Series C Original Issue Price plus any Series C Accruing
Dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, subject to the conversion right described below.
Conversion
The
shares of Series C will be convertible at the election of the holder, beginning six months after the date of issuance, into shares of
common stock at a conversion price equal to the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock for the 30 trading days immediately
prior to the exercise of the holder’s conversion option, subject to a floor price of $ 0.6172 .
Warrants
Upon
the Closing, 17,975,000 warrants initially issued by Semper Paratus in November 2021, comprising 17,250,000 public warrants sold in the
IPO and 725,000 warrants issued in a concurrent private placement, were assumed.
Public
Warrants
The
public warrants have an exercise price of $ 11.50 per share, became exercisable on March 15, 2024 , and will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on February 14, 2029, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective
registration statement and during any period when the Company has failed to maintain an effective registration statement covering the
shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis”
in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or another exception. The Company may redeem the public
warrants if the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending
on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the holders of public warrants. As
of September 30, 2024, there are 17,249,978 public warrants outstanding.
Private
Placement Warrants
Each
private placement warrant is identical to the public warrants, except that the private placement warrants, so long as they are held by
the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, (i) will not be redeemable by the Company and (ii) may be exercised by the holders
on a cashless basis. As of September 30, 2024, there are 725,000 private placement warrants outstanding.

NOTE
11. NET LOSS PER SHARE
The Company computes basic net loss per share by dividing net loss by the
weighted-average common stock outstanding during the period. The Company computes diluted net loss per share by dividing the net loss
by the sum of the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding during the period, plus the potential dilutive effects, if any,
of unvested shares of common stock and the convertible promissory notes on an as-converted basis. Given the Company’s net loss,
the impact of the unvested shares of common stock and the convertible promissory notes are anti-dilutive, and basic and diluted net loss
per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are the same.
The
Company excluded the following potential shares from the computation of diluted net loss per share because including them would have
had an anti-dilutive effect:

(a) As
of September 30, 2024 there were an additional 5,651,210 restricted stock units that had
vested but had not been legally settled into common stock and therefore were included in
the basic net income per share. See Note 8 for additional information.
(b) The
number of shares were determined based on the conversion upon maturity provisions in the
convertible promissory note agreements, dividing the conversion amount (principal plus accrued
interest) by three times the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock derived
from the Company’s most recently completed convertible promissory notes valuation as
of the balance sheet date.
The
above table excludes any potentially anti-dilutive shares as a result of the $ 14 million Purchase Option and the Additional Amount Purchase
Option (see Note 7). These are excluded as the number of shares issuable cannot be determined until the conditions for issuance are met
and the share prices are known upon exercise.
NOTE
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The
Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure from the balance sheet date through
November 19, 2024, the issuance date of these financial statements, and has not identified any additional items requiring disclosure
except as noted below.
Series
C Preferred Stock
On
October 25, 2024, the Company received $ 2,000,000 from the sale of shares of its Series C Preferred Stock and issued 200 shares of Series
