−Removed: preceding calendar year, or (ii) such lesser number of shares of Common Stock as determined by the Committee.
−Removed: The maximum number of shares
−Removed: of Common Stock available for issuance pursuant to incentive stock options granted under the 2024 Plan is the same as the total number
−Removed: of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2024 Plan.

−Removed: and unissued shares of Common Stock, or treasury shares of Common Stock, or a combination of the foregoing.

−Removed: incentive stock options.
−Removed: An option granted under the 2024 Plan is exercisable only to the extent that it is vested.
−Removed: Each option becomes
−Removed: vested and exercisable at such times and under such conditions as the Committee may approve consistent with the terms of the 2024 Plan.
−Removed: No option may be exercisable more than ten years after the option grant date, or five years after the option grant date in the case of
−Removed: an incentive stock option granted to a “ten percent stockholder” (as defined in the 2024 Plan);
−Removed: provided that, to the extent
−Removed: deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee to reflect differences in local law, tax policy, or custom with respect to any option
−Removed: granted to a grantee who is a foreign national or is a natural person who is employed outside of the United States, such option may terminate,
−Removed: and all rights to purchase shares of Common Stock thereunder may cease, upon the expiration of a period longer than ten (10)
−Removed: years from the date of grant of such option as the Committee shall determine.
−Removed: The Committee may include in the option agreement provisions
−Removed: specifying the period during which an option may be exercised following termination of the grantee’s service.

−Removed: of each option is determined by the Committee, provided that the per share exercise price will be equal to or greater than 100% of the
−Removed: fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the grant date (other than as permitted for substitute awards).
−Removed: If we were to grant incentive

−Removed: Common Stock, or a combination of the two.
−Removed: The amount that the recipient receives upon exercise of the SAR generally equals the excess
−Removed: of the fair market value of shares of Common Stock on the date of exercise over the fair market value of shares of Common Stock on the
−Removed: SARs become exercisable in accordance with terms determined by the Committee.
−Removed: SARs may be granted in tandem with an option
−Removed: grant or independently from an option grant.
−Removed: The term of a SAR cannot exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant.

−Removed: The Committee may determine that all or part
−Removed: of a SAR may be transferred to certain family members of the grantee by gift or other transfers deemed not to be for value.
−Removed: so long as the Common Stock remains listed on Nasdaq, the fair market value of the Common Stock on an award’s grant date, or on
−Removed: any other date for which fair market value is required to be established under the 2024 Plan, is the closing price of the Common Stock
−Removed: as reported on Nasdaq on such date.
−Removed: If there is no such reported closing price on such date, the fair market value of the Common Stock
−Removed: will be the closing price of the Common Stock as reported on such market on the next preceding date on which any sale of Common Stock
−Removed: will have been reported.
−Removed: the Common Stock ceases to be listed on Nasdaq and is listed on another established national or regional stock exchange, or traded on
−Removed: another established securities market, fair market value will similarly be determined by reference to the closing price of the Common
−Removed: Stock on the applicable date as reported on such other stock exchange or established securities market.
−Removed: the Common Stock ceases to be listed on Nasdaq or another established national or regional stock exchange, or traded on another established
−Removed: securities market, the Committee will determine the fair market value of the Common Stock by the reasonable application of a reasonable
−Removed: valuation method in a manner consistent with Section 409A of the Code.

−Removed: the form of cash, shares of common stock, other securities or other property), stock split, extraordinary dividend, recapitalization,
−Removed: change in control, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of shares of common
−Removed: stock or other securities or similar transaction), we may not, without obtaining stockholder approval, (a) amend the terms of outstanding
−Removed: options or SARs to reduce the exercise price of such outstanding options or SARs, (b) cancel outstanding options or SARs in exchange
−Removed: for, or in substitution of, options or SARs with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original options or SARs,
−Removed: or (c) cancel outstanding options or SARs with an exercise price above the current price of Common Stock in exchange for cash or other
−Removed: securities, in each case, unless such action is (i) subject to and approved by our stockholders, or (ii) would not be deemed to be a

−Removed: 2024 Plan authorizes the Committee to grant restricted stock, restricted stock units, and deferred stock units.

−Removed: paid on restricted stock will be reinvested in shares of Common Stock, which may or may not be subject to the same vesting conditions
−Removed: and restrictions as applicable to such shares of restricted stock, or (b) any dividend payments or distributions declared or paid on
−Removed: shares of restricted stock will only be made or paid upon satisfaction of the vesting conditions and restrictions applicable to such
−Removed: shares of restricted stock.
−Removed: Dividend payments or distributions declared or paid on shares of restricted stock which vest or are earned
−Removed: based on the achievement of performance goals do not vest unless such performance goals for such shares of restricted stock are achieved,
−Removed: and if such performance goals are not achieved, the grantee of such shares of restricted stock promptly forfeits and, to the extent already
−Removed: paid or distributed, repay to us such dividend payments or distributions.
−Removed: Grantees of restricted stock units and deferred stock units
−Removed: have no voting or dividend rights or other rights associated with share ownership, although the Committee may award dividend equivalent

−Removed: or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional shares of Common Stock or awards which may thereafter accrue additional dividend equivalent
−Removed: rights (with or without being subject to forfeiture or a repayment obligation) and may be payable in cash, shares of Common Stock, or
−Removed: a combination of the two.
−Removed: Dividend equivalent rights granted as a component of another award may (a) provide that such dividend equivalent
−Removed: right will be settled upon exercise, settlement, or payment of, or lase of restriction on, such other award and that such dividend equivalent
−Removed: will expire or be forfeited or annulled under the same conditions as such award or (b) contain terms and conditions which are different
−Removed: from the terms and conditions of such other award, provided that dividend equivalent rights credited pursuant to a dividend equivalent
−Removed: right granted as a component of another award which vests or is earned based on the achievement of performance goals will not vest unless
−Removed: such performance goals for such underlying award are achieved, and if such performance goals are not achieved, the grantee of such dividend

−Removed: BIO HOLDINGS INC.
−Removed: TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
−Removed: Initial Shareholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete
−Removed: a Business Combination within the Combination Period.
−Removed: However, if the Initial Shareholders should acquire Public Shares in or after the
−Removed: IPO, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails
−Removed: to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.
−Removed: The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to its deferred
−Removed: underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within

−Removed: In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of

−Removed: extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the
−Removed: Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account.
−Removed: This liability will not
−Removed: apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any
−Removed: monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain

−Removed: Moreover, in the
−Removed: event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent
−Removed: of any liability for such third-party claims.
−Removed: The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify
−Removed: the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except the Company’s independent
−Removed: registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements
−Removed: waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
−Removed: Business Combination

−Removed: (“Merger Sub”), the Sponsor, in its capacity as purchaser representative, Tevogen Bio, and Ryan Saadi, in his capacity as
−Removed: seller representative (as may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among
−Removed: other things, the parties will affect the merger of Merger Sub with and into Tevogen Bio, with Tevogen Bio continuing as the surviving
−Removed: entity (the “Merger”), as a result of which all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Tevogen Bio shall be exchanged
−Removed: for shares of Class A common stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of the Company (the “Share
−Removed: Exchange”) subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, with Tevogen Bio surviving the Share Exchange as a wholly
−Removed: owned subsidiary of the Company (the Share Exchange and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, together, the “Transaction”).
−Removed: On September 14, 2023, the Company filed a registration
−Removed: statement on Form S-4 with the SEC relating to the Transaction with Tevogen, and on February 14, 2024, the Company consummated the Transaction.
−Removed: See Note 10 for more information.
−Removed: and Uncertainties
−Removed: February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine.
−Removed: As a result of this action,
−Removed: various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus.
−Removed: the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy are not determinable as of the date of these financial statements

−Removed: to the Company from a Series A Preferred Stock financing in February 2024 and $ 1,200,000 in connection with the Series A-1
−Removed: Preferred Stock financing thereafter (see Note 10) is not sufficient to sustain planned operations for 12 months from the issuance
−Removed: date of these financial statements.
−Removed: As a result, the Company has concluded that substantial doubt exists about its ability to continue
−Removed: as a going concern for one year from the date that these financial statements are issued.
−Removed: The accompanying financial statements have
−Removed: been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course
−Removed: The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset
−Removed: amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
−Removed: Management is currently evaluating different strategies to obtain the additional
−Removed: funding for future operations for subsequent years.
−Removed: These strategies may include but are not limited to private placements of equity and/or
−Removed: debt, licensing and/or marketing arrangements, and public offerings of equity and/or debt securities.
−Removed: The Company may not be able to obtain
−Removed: financing on acceptable terms, or at all, and the Company may not be able to enter into strategic alliances or other arrangements on favorable
−Removed: terms, or at all.
