−Removed: Acquisition Corp.
−Removed: I (the “Company” or “Plum”) is a blank check company, incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted
−Removed: company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business
−Removed: combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to throughout this Report as our initial business combination.
−Removed: Burns, Kanishka Roy and Mike Dinsdale established Plum with the mission of creating a platform, built by operators for operators, to
−Removed: enable great private companies to become outstanding public companies and listed stocks.
−Removed: We believe there is an opportunity to create
−Removed: replicable infrastructure to launch multiple SPACs, featuring different members of our large extended team over time.
−Removed: We seek to establish
−Removed: ourselves as the first-stop SPAC platform for high-quality companies in the US and Europe that can benefit from our large 48-person extended
−Removed: team, our decades of operational experience leading technology companies, our direct access to Fortune-500 company partnerships,
−Removed: help with internationalization, and our proprietary Accelerating Through the Bell operational playbook that helps companies
−Removed: list and grow in the public markets.
−Removed: Our platform is also aligned with the incentives and outcome of investors as we are funding all
−Removed: our risk capital internally as a sign of confidence and commitment to a successful outcome.
−Removed: have founded, led, advised, and invested in companies that have invented entire sectors, scaled to become market leaders, and delivered
−Removed: exceptional returns for investors.
−Removed: Through these experiences, we have developed a deep respect for leaders of rapidly scaling technology
−Removed: As a result, we are motivated by a passion for working to maximize the value of their exemplary private companies as they
−Removed: transition to the public markets.
−Removed: believe the broad and diversified experience of our founders equips us to add significant value to our partner company.
−Removed: is no longer part of the management team, Mr.
−Removed: Roy is a technology and finance veteran with over 20 years of experience as a technology
−Removed: investment banker, public company executive, and growth investor.
−Removed: At Morgan Stanley, Mr.

−Removed: Roy was Global CFO at SmartNews, a high-growth
−Removed: multibillion dollar private AI company with over 20 million monthly active users.
−Removed: Dinsdale has defined the “modern
−Removed: unicorn” CFO for over 20 years, with strategic expertise in building high growth international companies in Consumer and B2B SaaS.
−Removed: Most recently, Mr.
−Removed: Dinsdale was the CFO for Gusto, a leader in SMB payroll and human resources software.
−Removed: Prior to that, Mr.
−Removed: was CFO of two generational, market-leading software companies in DoorDash and DocuSign.
−Removed: believe that the combined experience of our team and our differentiated long-term strategy positions us as an optimal partner for companies
−Removed: seeking to access the public markets.
−Removed: Plum is focused on investments that relate directly to the experience of its team.
−Removed: We seek to partner
−Removed: with a scaled, high-quality company that leverages platform models in the enterprise software, SMB software and infrastructure, or disruptive
−Removed: marketplace models in verticals where we have extensive expertise, such as business automation, health and wellbeing, fintech and insuretech.
−Removed: will seek to identify businesses with distinct Machine Learning and AI-driven advantages to create new markets and disrupt

−Removed: We intend to focus on investment opportunities with sustainable and

−Removed: Business Combination (the “Business Combination”)
−Removed: previously reported, on November 27, 2023, Plum Acquisition Corp.
−Removed: I, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“Plum”),
−Removed: Plum SPAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Plum (“Merger Sub”), and Veea Inc., a Delaware
−Removed: corporation (“Veea”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”).
−Removed: in 2014, Veea offers edge-to-cloud computing with its VeeaHub smart computing hub products that can replace or complement Wi-Fi Access
−Removed: Points (APs), IoT gateways, routers, basic firewalls, network attached storage, and other types of hubs and appliances at user premises.
−Removed: to its terms and conditions, the Business Combination Agreement provides that (a) on the day of the closing of the transactions contemplated
−Removed: by the Business Combination (the “Closing”), Plum will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by transferring by way of
−Removed: continuation from a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws
−Removed: of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”), and (b) following the Domestication, Merger Sub will merge with and
−Removed: into Veea, with Veea surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Plum (the “Merger”).
−Removed: Business Combination Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties thereto with respect to, among other
−Removed: corporate organization;
−Removed: authorization to enter into the Business Combination Agreement;
−Removed: capitalization;
−Removed: financial statements;
−Removed: undisclosed liabilities;
−Removed: compliance with laws;
−Removed: material contracts;
−Removed: company benefit plans;
−Removed: labor matters;
−Removed: intellectual property, data privacy and security;
−Removed: environmental matters;
−Removed: absence of changes;
−Removed: with affiliates;
−Removed: consents and requisite governmental approvals;
−Removed: and related party transactions.
−Removed: accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each
−Removed: outstanding share of Veea’s common stock (the “Veea Common Stock”) and each outstanding share of Veea’s Series
−Removed: A preferred stock and Series A-1 preferred stock (the “Veea Preferred Stock”) on an as-converted to Veea Common Stock basis,
−Removed: but excluding Dissenting Shares, New Financing Securities (each as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and treasury shares
−Removed: (such outstanding Veea Common Stock and Veea Preferred Stock, the “Existing Veea Shares”), will be cancelled and extinguished
−Removed: and converted into the right to receive the number of shares of Plum’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “New
−Removed: Plum Common Shares”), determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement based on a pre-money equity value of Veea
−Removed: of $180,000,000, including Veea’s in-the-money, vested convertible securities on a net exercise basis, and a price of $10.00 per
−Removed: New Plum Common Share.
−Removed: Business Combination Agreement also provides holders of Existing Veea Shares with a contingent right to receive up to 4.5 million additional
−Removed: New Plum Common Shares (the “Earnout Shares”), subject to the following contingencies:
−Removed: of the Earnout Shares if, at any time during the ten years following the Closing (the “Earnout
−Removed: Period”), the VWAP of the New Plum Common Shares is greater than or equal to $12.50
−Removed: per share for any twenty trading days within any thirty trading day period;
−Removed: of the Earnout Shares if, at any time during the Earnout Period, the VWAP of the New Plum
−Removed: Common Shares is greater than or equal to $15.00 per share for any twenty trading days within
−Removed: any thirty trading day period.
−Removed: Extraordinary
−Removed: General Meeting
−Removed: October 23, 2023, Plum held an Extraordinary General Meeting of its Shareholders to amend Plum’s amended and restated memorandum
−Removed: and articles of association (the “Articles”) (i) to extend the date (the “Termination Date”) by which Plum has
−Removed: to consummate a business combination (the “Articles Extension”) to December 18, 2023 (the “Articles Extension Date”)
−Removed: and (ii) to allow Plum, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate a business combination
−Removed: on a monthly basis for up to six times by an additional one month each time after December 18, 2023 (or such shorter period as necessary
−Removed: to comply with applicable listing requirements), by resolution of the Company’s board of directors, if requested by the Sponsor,
−Removed: and upon five days advance notice prior to the applicable termination date, until June 18, 2024, or a total of up to nine months after
−Removed: September 18, 2023, unless the closing of a business combination shall have occurred prior thereto (the “Extension Amendment Proposal.”)
−Removed: will seek to acquire an asset with the most promising potential for returns and enhance those returns with concerted support from our
−Removed: team of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (“DEI”) experts.
−Removed: We believe there is a powerful, positive correlation between DEI
−Removed: efforts and value creation.
−Removed: For example, a 2018 report by McKinsey examined trends in the impact of diversity on financial performance
−Removed: and found that “[t]he statistically significant correlation between a more diverse leadership team and financial outperformance…continues
−Removed: to hold true… The penalty for bottom-quartile for diversity persists… Not only were [these companies] not leading, they
−Removed: were lagging.” As such, we are committed to leveraging our team and networks to help our future partner company hire diverse candidates
−Removed: for their management team and board and to help further develop an inclusive and equitable workplace.
−Removed: also are undertaking a “2 and 20 pledge.” Our Sponsor intends to donate interests in our Sponsor equivalent to an aggregate
−Removed: of 105,000 founder shares to DEI related causes following the consummation of our initial business combination.
−Removed: We also commit to filling
−Removed: at least 20% of our board seats with candidates who bring gender, racial and/or ethnic diversity.
−Removed: We currently exceed this threshold
−Removed: with 60% diverse board members.
−Removed: We believe that our DEI strategy, along with our 2 and 20 pledge, will be highly appealing to market-leading
−Removed: companies across all sectors that prioritize attracting and retaining the best talent and standing out for thought leadership in the
−Removed: of Plum’s risk capital comes from its management team and board.
−Removed: This backing is intended to express the confidence of the team
−Removed: and align our interests with those of our investors.
−Removed: We also believe it will align us with the investors and management team of our eventual
−Removed: partner company.
−Removed: Beyond meaningful capital commitments from each member of our team, we believe that our incentive structure drives both
−Removed: alignment and productivity from our board, are eligible for a performance bonus of interests in our Sponsor that are equivalent to an
−Removed: aggregate of up to 500,000 founder shares for their contributions toward the success of Plum.
−Removed: Furthermore, we intend to align ourselves
−Removed: with our eventual partner company through lock-up or other provisions that incentivize long-term value creation and signal
−Removed: our commitment to delivering attractive returns to all stakeholders.
−Removed: We believe such flexibility on lock-up to be an important
−Removed: key to attracting high-quality growth companies.

−Removed: She is a certified public accountant (inactive) in the State of
−Removed: Business Strategy
−Removed: number of high-quality private technology companies is increasing overall, as is the number of those who are choosing to stay private
−Removed: Many of these companies avoid IPOs due to the inherent uncertainty around valuation at IPO, as well as the perception that many
−Removed: IPOs are mispriced, especially for the high growth technology companies we will target.
−Removed: In addition, the time-consuming IPO process represents
−Removed: a meaningful distraction from management’s core operational responsibilities.
−Removed: Direct listings to date have been executed only by
−Removed: well-known companies, and there is limited opportunity to raise primary capital in tandem.
−Removed: This means that direct listings are not a
−Removed: viable option for the vast majority of technology companies.
−Removed: And most other SPACs in the market today are transactional in nature, without
−Removed: a long-term platform, or the infrastructure and team to help companies after the public listing.
−Removed: status quo poses serious problems for quality high-growth companies that would attract significant investor interest if there were a
−Removed: more optimized path to public markets with a trusted and experienced partner to guide them.
−Removed: We believe that Plum fills this role.
−Removed: are a purpose-built platform to help companies list publicly and build the capacity and infrastructure needed to continue scaling in
−Removed: the public markets.
−Removed: of the individuals on the Plum team understands, through hard-earned experience, the importance of helping companies accelerate their
−Removed: vision and build massive scale without sacrificing the culture that made them successful in the first place.
−Removed: From our own experience,
−Removed: we believe both our operational approach and our company-centric worldview will be advantageous in helping us to attract a very strong
−Removed: eventual partner company.
−Removed: have developed a clear value-add playbook for public company growth and have staffed ourselves appropriately to execute on
−Removed: a variety of formalized initiatives in service of our eventual partner company.
−Removed: Most of our team of operators have chosen to work with
−Removed: Plum over other SPACs, and to invest in our risk capital, because we offer them the chance to leverage their skills and expertise for
−Removed: the benefit of our eventual partner company.
−Removed: We have formalized this value-add process through our playbook, Accelerating
−Removed: Through the Bell .
−Removed: This playbook consists of plays from tested, successful operators to help our partner company de-risk its
−Removed: listing and enhance its growth post-listing.
−Removed: believe our approach stands in stark contrast to many SPACs that rely on the stature, experience, and network of a few individuals.
−Removed: is our view that these SPACs lack sufficient depth of team members and skillsets to have a credible claim to helping companies de-risk their
−Removed: listing and maintain, or even accelerate, their growth after listing.
−Removed: believe that the value of our operator driven approach to success is highly differentiated by virtue of the size, playbook, financial
−Removed: alignment, credibility in DEI, and the diverse skillsets and backgrounds of our team.
−Removed: We further believe that our model is one that will
−Removed: be very positively received by high-performing companies for many reasons:
−Removed: and Aligned Incentives for Investors:
−Removed: We are funding all of our risk capital internally.
−Removed: We believe this indicates a high level of confidence and commitment on the part of our team.
−Removed: This investment also creates alignment between our team, IPO investors, and future PIPE investors
−Removed: because we are all focused on maximizing the long-term value of our business combination.
−Removed: Focus on Long-Term Value Creation
−Removed: for the Partner Company:
−Removed: Self-funding the entirety of our risk capital also closely aligns us with our eventual partner company’s
−Removed: Our willingness to tie our promote lock-up to company stock-price performance should also be attractive to companies.
−Removed: plan to carefully curate our IPO and PIPE investors, focusing on long-term investors with a track record of supporting high-quality
−Removed: growth companies.
−Removed: In addition, we believe that our performance bonus of interests in our Sponsor that are equivalent to an aggregate
−Removed: of up to 500,000 founder shares provides meaningful motivation to our Board of Directors to help us deliver the best possible returns
−Removed: to our shareholders.
−Removed: ● Decentralized
−Removed: and Proprietary Deal Sourcing:
−Removed: Each member of our 48-person extended team has been selected
−Removed: for their personal networks and access to Tech companies and boards in the U.S.
−Removed: The breadth and connectivity of this extended team, combined with our incentive structure,
−Removed: increases our ability to source proprietary opportunities without relying on bankers for
−Removed: deal flow, and reduces the likelihood that we will have to participate in competitive bid
−Removed: processes or “SPAC-offs”.
−Removed: ● Incremental
−Removed: Value through DEI Focus and Execution:
−Removed: Core to our thesis is evidence that there is tremendous
−Removed: value to be unlocked when both management teams and investors prioritize DEI.
−Removed: upon a diverse, world-class team for public board construction and to assist our future partner
−Removed: company on its own DEI journey, along with specific DEI strategies and initiatives that have
−Removed: worked at world-class companies such as Intel and Google.
−Removed: ● Proprietary
−Removed: Accelerating Through the Bell Operational Playbook:
−Removed: We believe our public growth playbook,
−Removed: with a focus on short-term tactical plays, medium-term growth plays, and longer-term culture-defining
−Removed: plays, will provide our eventual partner company with a strong competitive edge and make
−Removed: our SPAC an attractive partner.
−Removed: Each play is owned by a highly regarded executive with a
−Removed: proven track record of success in that specific area.
−Removed: For example, one of the individuals
−Removed: running our public investor relations strategy was instrumental in executing the Shopify
−Removed: and Zendesk IPOs, among others;
−Removed: the individual in charge of go-to-market acceleration play
−Removed: served as the sales leader during Tableau’s ramp from $800 million in revenue;
−Removed: one of the individuals in charge of the international growth play led his company’s
−Removed: entry into more than 18 countries.
−Removed: Acquisition Criteria
−Removed: do not think that there is a one-size fits-all list of criteria that we can use to evaluate companies.
−Removed: However, wise and
−Removed: flexible employment of our investment principles is the north star of our investment decision process:
−Removed: Addressable Market:
−Removed: We will seek to invest in companies that offer room for compelling, long-term
−Removed: growth in their key markets.
−Removed: Large addressable markets have been a hallmark of our previous
−Removed: successful investments.
−Removed: We believe green field or rapidly growing markets often create the
−Removed: largest absolute returns.
−Removed: ● Experienced
−Removed: and Visionary Management Team:
−Removed: Seasoned and visionary management teams are necessary for
−Removed: success in our model.
−Removed: We intend to acquire a company with forward-thinking leaders with a
−Removed: demonstrated history of success, and whose interests and vision are aligned with those of
−Removed: our team and shareholders.
−Removed: While many things must fall in place for an investment to succeed, we believe that
−Removed: growth is the primary driver of returns.
−Removed: We believe that revenue growth, not cost cutting,
−Removed: leverage, or other strategies, is the most important driver of long-term value.
−Removed: Business Model:
−Removed: We believe business models that enable reinvestment win in the long-haul.
−Removed: As such, the most investable companies must show, through compelling unit economics and business
−Removed: model, both the ability to deliver impressive cash flows and productively reinvest over the
−Removed: ● Competitive
−Removed: Real, sustainable accumulating advantages enable companies to compound value.
−Removed: businesses with strong structural advantages, including various forms of network effects,
−Removed: aggregator dynamics, and brand.
−Removed: Market Opportunity:
−Removed: We seek to invest in businesses with recurring or re-occurring business
−Removed: models that provide good revenue visibility and ample data, allowing us to clearly understand
−Removed: growth drivers.
−Removed: We intend to invest in those businesses where future revenue cannot be confounded
−Removed: by significant market, technology, or regulatory risks.
−Removed: Conflicts of Interest
−Removed: evaluating a prospective target business, we expect to conduct a thorough due diligence review which will encompass, among other things,
−Removed: meetings with incumbent management and key employees, document reviews and inspection of facilities, as well as a review of financial,
−Removed: operational, legal and other information which will be made available to us.
−Removed: We will also utilize our management team’s operational
−Removed: and capital planning experience.
−Removed: are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our Sponsor, officers, or directors.
−Removed: In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our Sponsor or any of our Sponsor,
−Removed: officers, or directors, we, or a committee of independent directors, will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm
−Removed: or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions that such initial business combination is fair to our company
−Removed: from a financial point of view.
−Removed: We are not required to obtain such an opinion in any other context.
−Removed: of our management team or board of directors may directly or indirectly own our founder shares, ordinary shares and/or private placement
−Removed: warrants following the initial public offering, and, accordingly, may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular
−Removed: target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination.
−Removed: Further, each of our officers and
−Removed: directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention or resignation
−Removed: of any such officers and directors were to be included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial
−Removed: business combination.
−Removed: of our officers and directors presently has, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations
−Removed: to another entity pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to
−Removed: Accordingly, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for
−Removed: an entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual
−Removed: obligations to present such business combination opportunity to such other entity, subject to their fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands
−Removed: addition, our Sponsor and our officers, and directors may Sponsor or form other special purpose acquisition companies similar to ours
−Removed: or may pursue other business or investment ventures during the period in which we are seeking an initial business combination.
−Removed: companies, businesses or investments may present additional conflicts of interest in pursuing an initial business combination.
−Removed: we do not believe that any such potential conflicts would materially affect our ability to complete our initial business combination.
−Removed: Business Combination
−Removed: long as our securities are then listed on Nasdaq, our initial business combination must occur with one or more target businesses that
−Removed: together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the trust account (excluding the deferred underwriting
−Removed: commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the trust account) at the time of signing a definitive agreement in connection
−Removed: with our initial business combination.
−Removed: If our board of directors is not able to independently determine the fair market value of the
−Removed: target business or businesses, we will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or an independent valuation or appraisal
−Removed: firm with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria.
−Removed: While we consider it unlikely that our board will not be able to make an independent
−Removed: determination of the fair market value of a target business or businesses, it may be unable to do so if the board is less familiar or
−Removed: experienced with the target company’s business, there is a significant amount of uncertainty as to the value of the company’s
−Removed: assets or prospects, including if such company is at an early stage of development, operations or growth, or if the anticipated transaction
−Removed: involves a complex financial analysis or other specialized skills and the board determines that outside expertise would be helpful or
−Removed: necessary in conducting such analysis.
−Removed: Since any opinion, if obtained, would merely state that the fair market value of the target business
−Removed: meets the 80% of net assets threshold, unless such opinion includes material information regarding the valuation of a target business
−Removed: or the consideration to be provided, it is not anticipated that copies of such opinion would be distributed to our shareholders.
−Removed: if required under applicable law, any proxy statement that we deliver to shareholders and file with the SEC in connection with a proposed
−Removed: transaction will include such opinion.
−Removed: anticipate structuring our initial business combination so that the post-business combination company in which our public shareholders
−Removed: own shares will own or acquire 100% of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses.
−Removed: We may, however, structure
−Removed: our initial business combination such that the post-business combination company owns or acquires less than 100% of such interests or
−Removed: assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management team or shareholders or for other reasons,
−Removed: but we will only complete such business combination if the post-business combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding
−Removed: voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register
−Removed: as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act.
−Removed: Even if the post-business
−Removed: combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, our shareholders prior to the business combination
−Removed: may collectively own a minority interest in the post-business combination company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and
−Removed: us in the business combination.
−Removed: For example, we could pursue a transaction in which we issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange
−Removed: for all of the outstanding capital stock, shares or other equity interests of a target.
−Removed: In this case, we would acquire a 100% controlling
−Removed: interest in the target.
−Removed: However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of new shares, our shareholders immediately prior
−Removed: to our initial business combination could own less than a majority of our outstanding shares subsequent to our initial business combination.
−Removed: If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-business combination
−Removed: company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will be valued for purposes of the 80% of net assets
−Removed: If the business combination involves more than one target business, the 80% of net assets test will be based on the aggregate value
−Removed: of all of the target businesses.
−Removed: In addition, we have agreed not to enter into a definitive agreement regarding an initial business combination
−Removed: without the prior consent of our Sponsor.
−Removed: If our securities are not then listed on Nasdaq for whatever reason, we would no longer be
−Removed: required to meet the foregoing 80% of net asset test.
−Removed: the extent we effect our initial business combination with a company or business that may be financially unstable or in its early stages
−Removed: of development or growth, we may be affected by numerous risks inherent in such company or business.
−Removed: Although our management will endeavor
−Removed: to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, we cannot assure you that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant
−Removed: risk factors.
−Removed: time required to select and evaluate a target business and to structure and complete our initial business combination, and the costs
−Removed: associated with this process, are not currently ascertainable with any degree of certainty.
−Removed: Any costs incurred with respect to the identification
−Removed: and evaluation of a prospective target business with which our initial business combination is not ultimately completed will result in
−Removed: our incurring losses and will reduce the funds we can use to complete another business combination.
−Removed: as a Public Company
−Removed: believe our structure will make us an attractive business combination partner to target businesses.
−Removed: As an existing public company, we
−Removed: offer a target business an alternative to the traditional initial public offering through a merger or other business combination with
−Removed: In a business combination transaction with us, the owners of the target business may, for example, exchange their shares of stock
−Removed: in the target business for our Class A ordinary shares (or shares of a new holding company) or for a combination of our Class A
−Removed: ordinary shares and cash, allowing us to tailor the consideration to the specific needs of the sellers.
−Removed: We believe target businesses
−Removed: will find this method a more expeditious and cost-effective method to becoming a public company than the typical initial public offering.
−Removed: The typical initial public offering process takes a significantly longer period of time than the typical business combination transaction
−Removed: process, and there are significant expenses in the initial public offering process, including underwriting discounts and commissions,
−Removed: which may not be present to the same extent in connection with a business combination with us.
−Removed: once a proposed business combination is completed, the target business will have effectively become public, whereas an initial public
−Removed: offering is always subject to the underwriter’s ability to complete the offering, as well as general market conditions, which could
−Removed: delay or prevent the offering from occurring or have negative valuation consequences.
−Removed: Once public, we believe the target business would
−Removed: then have greater access to capital, an additional means of providing management incentives consistent with shareholders’ interests
−Removed: and the ability to use its shares as currency for acquisitions.
−Removed: Being a public company can offer further benefits by augmenting a company’s
−Removed: profile among potential new customers and vendors and aid in attracting talented employees.
−Removed: we believe that our structure and our management team’s backgrounds will make us an attractive business partner, some potential
−Removed: target businesses may view our status as a blank check company, such as our lack of an operating history and our ability to seek shareholder
−Removed: approval of any proposed initial business combination, negatively.
−Removed: funds available for a business combination of approximately $35.6 million held in the Trust Account, we offer a target business a variety
−Removed: of options such as creating a liquidity event for its owners, providing capital for the potential growth and expansion of its operations
−Removed: or strengthening its balance sheet by reducing its debt ratio.
−Removed: Because we are able to complete our initial business combination using
−Removed: our cash, debt or equity securities, or a combination of the foregoing, we have the flexibility to use the most efficient combination
−Removed: that will allow us to tailor the consideration to be paid to the target business to fit its needs and desires.
−Removed: However, we have not taken
−Removed: any steps to secure third-party financing and there can be no assurance it will be available to us.
−Removed: Our Initial Business Combination
−Removed: are not presently engaged in, and we will not engage in, any operations for an indefinite period of time following the initial public
−Removed: We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of the initial public offering and the
−Removed: private placement of the private placement warrants, the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial business combination
−Removed: (pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements we may enter into following the consummation of the initial public offering
−Removed: or otherwise), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination
−Removed: of the foregoing or other sources.
−Removed: We may seek to complete our initial business combination with a company or business that may be financially
−Removed: unstable or in its early stages of development or growth, which would subject us to the numerous risks inherent in such companies and
−Removed: our initial business combination is paid for using equity or debt, or not all of the funds released from the trust account are used for
−Removed: payment of the consideration in connection with our initial business combination or used for redemptions of our Class A ordinary
−Removed: shares, we may apply the balance of the cash released to us from the trust account for general corporate purposes, including for maintenance
−Removed: or expansion of operations of the post-business combination company, the payment of principal or interest due on indebtedness incurred
−Removed: in completing our initial business combination, to fund the purchase of other companies or for working capital.
−Removed: Additionally,
−Removed: we have not engaged or retained any agent or other representative to identify or locate any suitable acquisition candidate, to conduct
−Removed: any research or take any measures, directly or indirectly, to locate or contact a target business, other than our officers and directors.
−Removed: Accordingly, there is no current basis for investors to evaluate the possible merits or risks of the target business with which we may
−Removed: ultimately complete our initial business combination.
−Removed: Although our management will assess the risks inherent in a particular target business
−Removed: with which we may combine, we cannot assure you that this assessment will result in our identifying all risks that a target business
−Removed: may encounter.
−Removed: some of those risks may be outside of our control, meaning that we can do nothing to control or reduce the chances that those risks will
−Removed: adversely affect a target business.
−Removed: may need to obtain additional financing to complete our initial business combination, either because the transaction requires more cash
−Removed: than is available from the proceeds held in our trust account, or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public
−Removed: shares upon completion of the business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with
−Removed: such business combination.
−Removed: There are no prohibitions on our ability to issue securities or incur debt in connection with our initial
−Removed: business combination.
−Removed: We are not currently a party to any arrangement or understanding with any third party with respect to raising any
−Removed: additional funds through the sale of securities, the incurrence of debt or otherwise.
−Removed: of Target Businesses
−Removed: anticipate that target business candidates will be brought to our attention from various affiliated and unaffiliated sources, including,
−Removed: investment market participants, private equity groups, investment banking firms, consultants, accounting firms and large business enterprises.
−Removed: Target businesses may be brought to our attention by such unaffiliated sources as a result of being solicited by us through calls or
−Removed: These sources may also introduce us to target businesses in which they think we may be interested on an unsolicited basis,
−Removed: since some of these sources will have read this Report and know what types of businesses we are targeting.
−Removed: Our officers and directors,
−Removed: as well as their affiliates and other affiliated sources may also bring to our attention target business candidates that they become
−Removed: aware of through their business contacts as a result of formal or informal inquiries or discussions they may have, as well as attending
−Removed: trade shows or conventions.
−Removed: In addition, we expect to receive a number of proprietary deal flow opportunities that would not otherwise
−Removed: necessarily be available to us as a result of the business relationships of our officers and directors.
−Removed: While we do not presently anticipate
−Removed: engaging the services of professional firms or other individuals that specialize in business acquisitions on any formal basis, we may
−Removed: engage these firms or other individuals in the future, in which event we may pay a finder’s fee, consulting fee or other compensation
−Removed: to be determined in an arm’s length negotiation based on the terms of the transaction.
−Removed: We will engage a finder only to the extent
−Removed: our management determines that the use of a finder may bring opportunities to us that may not otherwise be available to us or if finders
−Removed: approach us on an unsolicited basis with a potential transaction that our management determines is in our best interest to pursue.
−Removed: of finder’s fees is customarily tied to completion of a transaction, in which case any such fee will be paid out of the funds held
−Removed: in the trust account.
−Removed: We have agreed to pay our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space,
−Removed: secretarial and administrative support and to reimburse our Sponsor for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying,
−Removed: investigating and completing an initial business combination.
−Removed: In addition, pursuant to our Administrative Services Agreement we may make
−Removed: payments or reimbursements to our Sponsor or its affiliates, for the reasonable salaries and other services provided to us prior to or
−Removed: in connection with our initial business combination by its employees, consultants and/or members, who may include our officers or directors,
−Removed: and may also pay certain fees to our Sponsor or its respective affiliates.
−Removed: Some of our officers and directors may enter into employment
−Removed: or consulting agreements with the post-business combination company following our initial business combination.
−Removed: The presence or absence
−Removed: of any such fees or arrangements will not be used as a criterion in our selection process of an acquisition candidate.
−Removed: are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our Sponsor, officers, or directors.
−Removed: In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our Sponsor or any of our Sponsor,
−Removed: officers or directors, we, or a committee of independent directors, will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm
−Removed: or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions that such initial business combination is fair to our company
−Removed: from a financial point of view.
−Removed: We are not required to obtain such an opinion in any other context.
−Removed: of our officers and directors presently has, and any of them in the future may have, additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations
−Removed: to other entities, including and other entities that are affiliates of our Sponsor, pursuant to which such officer or director is or
−Removed: will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entity.
−Removed: if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or
−Removed: she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present
−Removed: such business combination opportunity to such entity, subject to their fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law.
−Removed: See “Management—Conflicts
−Removed: of Interest.”
−Removed: of a Target Business and Structuring of Our Initial Business Combination
−Removed: evaluating a prospective target business, we expect to conduct an extensive due diligence review which may encompass, as applicable and
−Removed: among other things, meetings with incumbent management and employees, document reviews, interviews of customers and suppliers, inspection
−Removed: of facilities and a review of financial and other information about the target and its industry.
−Removed: We will also utilize our management
−Removed: team’s operational and capital planning experience.
−Removed: If we determine to move forward with a particular target, we will proceed to
−Removed: structure and negotiate the terms of the business combination transaction.
−Removed: time required to select and evaluate a target business and to structure and complete our initial business combination, and the costs
−Removed: associated with this process, are not currently ascertainable with any degree of certainty.
−Removed: Any costs incurred with respect to the identification
−Removed: and evaluation of, and negotiation with, a prospective target business with which our initial business combination is not ultimately
−Removed: completed will result in our incurring losses and will reduce the funds we can use to complete another business combination.
−Removed: will not pay any consulting fees to members of our management team, or their respective affiliates, for services rendered to or in connection
−Removed: with our initial business combination.
−Removed: In addition, we have agreed not to enter into a definitive agreement regarding an initial business
−Removed: combination without the prior consent of our Sponsor.
−Removed: of Business Diversification
−Removed: an indefinite period of time after the completion of our initial business combination, the prospects for our success may depend entirely
−Removed: on the future performance of a single business.
−Removed: Unlike other entities that have the resources to complete business combinations with
−Removed: multiple entities in one or several industries, it is probable that we will not have the resources to diversify our operations and mitigate
−Removed: the risks of being in a single line of business.
−Removed: By completing our initial business combination with only a single entity, our lack of
−Removed: diversification may:
−Removed: us to negative economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may
−Removed: have a substantial adverse impact on the particular industry in which we operate after our
−Removed: initial business combination;
−Removed: us to depend on the marketing and sale of a single product or limited number of products
−Removed: Ability to Evaluate the Target’s Management Team
−Removed: we intend to closely scrutinize the management of a prospective target business when evaluating the desirability of effecting our initial
−Removed: business combination with that business, our assessment of the target business’s management may not prove to be correct.
−Removed: the future management may not have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company.
−Removed: the future role of members of our management team, if any, in the target business cannot presently be stated with any certainty.
−Removed: determination as to whether any of the members of our management team will remain with the combined company will be made at the time
−Removed: of our initial business combination.
−Removed: While it is possible that one or more of our directors will remain associated in some capacity with
−Removed: us following our initial business combination, it is unlikely that any of them will devote their full efforts to our affairs subsequent
−Removed: to our initial business combination.
−Removed: Moreover, we cannot assure you that members of our management team will have significant experience
−Removed: or knowledge relating to the operations of the particular target business.
−Removed: cannot assure you that any of our key personnel will remain in senior management or advisory positions with the combined company.
−Removed: determination as to whether any of our key personnel will remain with the combined company will be made at the time of our initial business
−Removed: a business combination, we may seek to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent management of the target business.
−Removed: cannot assure you that we will have the ability to recruit additional managers, or that additional managers will have the requisite skills,
−Removed: knowledge or experience necessary to enhance the incumbent management.
−Removed: May Not Have the Ability to Approve Our Initial Business Combination
−Removed: may conduct redemptions without a shareholder vote pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC subject to the provisions of our amended
−Removed: and restated memorandum and articles of association.
−Removed: However, we will seek shareholder approval if it is required by applicable law or
−Removed: stock exchange listing requirement, or we may decide to seek shareholder approval for business or other reasons.
−Removed: Nasdaq’s listing rules, shareholder approval would typically be required for our initial business combination if, for example:
−Removed: issue ordinary shares that will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of our ordinary
−Removed: shares then-outstanding;
−Removed: of our directors, officers or substantial shareholders (as defined by Nasdaq rules) has a
−Removed: 5% or greater interest (or such persons collectively have a 10% or greater interest), directly
−Removed: or indirectly, in the target business or assets to be acquired or otherwise and the present
−Removed: or potential issuance of common stock could result in an increase in outstanding common shares
−Removed: or voting power of 5% or more;
−Removed: issuance or potential issuance of ordinary shares will result in our undergoing a change
−Removed: decision as to whether we will seek shareholder approval of a proposed business combination in those instances in which shareholder approval
−Removed: is not required by law will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on business and reasons, which include a variety
−Removed: of factors, including, but not limited to:
−Removed: timing of the transaction, including in the event we determine shareholder approval would
−Removed: require additional time and there is either not enough time to seek shareholder approval
−Removed: or doing so would place the company at a disadvantage in the transaction or result in other
−Removed: additional burdens on the company;
−Removed: expected cost of holding a shareholder vote;
−Removed: risk that the shareholders would fail to approve the proposed business combination;
−Removed: time and budget constraints of the company;
−Removed: legal complexities of a proposed business combination that would be time-consuming and burdensome
−Removed: to present to shareholders.
−Removed: Purchases and Other Transactions with Respect to Our Securities
−Removed: we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business
−Removed: combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our Sponsor, directors, executive officers, or their affiliates may purchase public shares
−Removed: or warrants in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of our initial business
−Removed: Additionally, at any time at or prior to our initial business combination, subject to applicable securities laws (including
−Removed: with respect to material nonpublic information), our Sponsor, directors, executive officers, or their affiliates may enter into transactions
−Removed: with investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares, vote their public shares in favor of our initial
−Removed: business combination or not redeem their public shares.
−Removed: However, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such
−Removed: transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions.
−Removed: None of the funds in the trust account will be
−Removed: used to purchase public shares or warrants in such transactions.
−Removed: If they engage in such transactions, they will be restricted from making
−Removed: any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller or if such
−Removed: purchases are prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act.
−Removed: the event that our Sponsor, directors, officers, or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public
−Removed: shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights or submitted a proxy to vote against our initial business combination,
−Removed: such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares and any proxy to vote against our
−Removed: initial business combination.
−Removed: We do not currently anticipate that such purchases, if any, would constitute a tender offer subject to
−Removed: the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act or a going-private transaction subject to the going-private rules under the Exchange Act;
−Removed: however, if the purchasers determine at the time of any such purchases that the purchases are subject to such rules, the purchasers will
−Removed: be required to comply with such rules.
−Removed: purpose of any such transaction could be to (i) vote in favor of the business combination and thereby increase the likelihood of
−Removed: obtaining shareholder approval of the business combination, (ii) reduce the number of public warrants outstanding or vote such warrants
−Removed: on any matters submitted to the warrant holders for approval in connection with our initial business combination or (iii) satisfy
−Removed: a closing condition in an agreement with a target that requires us to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash at the closing
−Removed: of our initial business combination, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met.
−Removed: Any such purchases of our securities
−Removed: may result in the completion of our initial business combination that may not otherwise have been possible.
−Removed: addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our Class A ordinary shares or public warrants may be reduced
−Removed: and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, which may make it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation,
−Removed: listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.
−Removed: Sponsor, officers, directors, and/or their affiliates anticipate that they may identify the shareholders with whom our Sponsor, officers,
−Removed: directors, or their affiliates may pursue privately negotiated transactions by either the shareholders contacting us directly or by our
−Removed: receipt of redemption requests submitted by shareholders (in the case of Class A ordinary shares) following our mailing of tender
−Removed: offer or proxy materials in connection with our initial business combination.
−Removed: To the extent that our Sponsor, officers, directors, or
−Removed: their affiliates enter into a private transaction, they would identify and contact only potential selling or redeeming shareholders who
−Removed: have expressed their election to redeem their shares for a pro rata share of the trust account or vote against our initial business combination,
−Removed: whether or not such shareholder has already submitted a proxy with respect to our initial business combination but only if such shares
−Removed: have not already been voted at the shareholder meeting related to our initial business combination.
−Removed: Our Sponsor, executive officers,
−Removed: directors, or their affiliates will select which shareholders to purchase shares from based on the negotiated price and number of shares
−Removed: and any other factors that they may deem relevant and will be restricted from purchasing shares if such purchases do not comply with
−Removed: Regulation M under the Exchange Act and the other federal securities laws.
−Removed: Sponsor, officers, directors, and/or their affiliates will be restricted from making purchases of shares if the purchases would violate
−Removed: Section 9(a)(2) or Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act.
−Removed: We expect any such purchases would be reported by such person pursuant
−Removed: to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements.
−Removed: Rights for Public Shareholders upon Completion of Our Initial Business Combination
−Removed: will provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Class A ordinary shares upon the completion
−Removed: of our initial business combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in
−Removed: the trust account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial business combination, including interest
−Removed: earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, if any, divided by the number of then-outstanding
−Removed: public shares, subject to the limitations described herein.
−Removed: The amount in the trust account is initially anticipated to be $10.00 per
−Removed: public share.
−Removed: The redemption rights will include the requirement that a beneficial holder must identify itself in order to validly redeem
−Removed: There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of our initial business combination with respect to our warrants.
−Removed: Further, we will not proceed with redeeming our public shares, even if a public shareholder has properly elected to redeem its shares,
−Removed: if a business combination does not close.
−Removed: Our Sponsor and each member of our management team have entered into an agreement with us,
−Removed: pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and public shares held by them
−Removed: in connection with (i) the completion of our initial business combination and (ii) a shareholder vote to approve an amendment
−Removed: to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation
−Removed: to provide holders of our Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business
−Removed: combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the combination period
−Removed: or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares.
−Removed: of Conducting Redemptions
−Removed: will provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Class A ordinary shares upon the completion
−Removed: of our initial business combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the business combination
−Removed: or (ii) by means of a tender offer.
−Removed: The decision as to whether we will seek shareholder approval of a proposed business combination
−Removed: or conduct a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing
−Removed: of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would require us to seek shareholder approval under applicable law or stock
−Removed: exchange listing requirement or whether we were deemed to be a foreign private issuer (which would require a tender offer rather than
−Removed: seeking shareholder approval under SEC rules).
−Removed: Asset acquisitions and share purchases would not typically require shareholder approval
−Removed: while direct mergers with our company where we do not survive and any transactions where we issue more than 20% of our issued and outstanding
−Removed: ordinary shares or seek to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association would typically require shareholder
−Removed: We currently intend to conduct redemptions in connection with a shareholder vote unless shareholder approval is not required
−Removed: by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement or we choose to conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the
−Removed: SEC for business or other reasons.
−Removed: So long as we obtain and maintain a listing for our securities on Nasdaq, we will be required to comply
−Removed: with the Nasdaq rules.
−Removed: we held a shareholder vote to approve our initial business combination, we will, pursuant to our amended and restated memorandum and
−Removed: articles of association:
−Removed: the redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the
−Removed: Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies, and not pursuant to the tender
−Removed: proxy materials with the SEC.
−Removed: the event we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, we will distribute proxy materials and, in connection therewith,
−Removed: provide our public shareholders with the redemption rights described above upon completion of the initial business combination.
−Removed: we seek shareholder approval, we will complete our initial business combination only if a majority of the ordinary shares, represented
−Removed: in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon, voted at a shareholder meeting are voted in favor of the business combination.
−Removed: such case, our Sponsor and each member of our management team have agreed to vote their founder shares and public shares in favor of
−Removed: our initial business combination.
−Removed: Each public shareholder may elect to redeem their public shares irrespective of whether they vote for
−Removed: or against the proposed transaction or vote at all.
−Removed: In addition, our Sponsor and each member of our management team have entered into
−Removed: an agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and public
−Removed: shares held by them in connection with (i) the completion of a business combination and (ii) a shareholder vote to approve
−Removed: an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of
−Removed: our obligation to provide holders of our Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our
−Removed: initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the
−Removed: combination period or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares.
−Removed: we conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC, we will, pursuant to our amended and restated memorandum and articles
−Removed: of association:
−Removed: the redemptions pursuant to Rule13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act, which regulate
−Removed: issuer tender offers;
−Removed: tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing our initial business combination
−Removed: which contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial business
−Removed: combination and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange
−Removed: Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies.
−Removed: the public announcement of our initial business combination, if we elect to conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, we
−Removed: and our Sponsor will terminate any plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 to purchase Class A ordinary shares
−Removed: in the open market, in order to comply with Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act.
−Removed: the event we conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, our offer to redeem will remain open for at least 20 business days,
−Removed: in accordance with Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act, and we will not be permitted to complete our initial business combination
−Removed: until the expiration of the tender offer period.
−Removed: In addition, the tender offer will be conditioned on public shareholders not tendering
−Removed: more than the number of public shares we are permitted to redeem.
−Removed: If public shareholders tender more shares than we have offered to purchase,
−Removed: we will withdraw the tender offer and not complete such initial business combination.
−Removed: on Redemption upon Completion of Our Initial Business Combination If We Seek Shareholder Approval
−Removed: we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business
−Removed: combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that a public
−Removed: shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as
−Removed: a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect
−Removed: to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in the initial public offering, which we refer to as “Excess Shares,”
−Removed: without our prior consent.
−Removed: We believe this restriction will discourage shareholders from accumulating large blocks of shares, and subsequent
−Removed: attempts by such holders to use their ability to exercise their redemption rights against a proposed business combination as a means
−Removed: to force us or our management to purchase their shares at a significant premium to the then- current market price or on other undesirable
−Removed: Absent this provision, a public shareholder holding more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in the initial public offering
−Removed: could threaten to exercise its redemption rights if such holder’s shares are not purchased by us, our Sponsor or our management
−Removed: at a premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms.
−Removed: By limiting our shareholders’ ability to redeem no
−Removed: more than 15% of the shares sold in the initial public offering without our prior consent, we believe we will limit the ability of a
−Removed: small group of shareholders to unreasonably attempt to block our ability to complete our initial business combination, particularly in
−Removed: connection with a business combination with a target that requires as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain
−Removed: amount of cash.
−Removed: we would not be restricting our shareholders’ ability to vote all their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against our initial
−Removed: business combination.
−Removed: Share Certificates in Connection with a Tender Offer or Redemption Rights
−Removed: shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in “street name,”
−Removed: will be required to either tender their certificates (if any) to our transfer agent prior to the date set forth in the proxy solicitation
−Removed: or tender offer materials, as applicable, mailed to such holders, or to deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically using
−Removed: The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/ Withdrawal At Custodian) System, at the holder’s option, in each case up to
−Removed: two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote to approve the business combination.
−Removed: The proxy solicitation or tender offer materials,
−Removed: as applicable, that we will furnish to holders of our public shares in connection with our initial business combination will indicate
−Removed: the applicable delivery requirements, which will include the requirement that a beneficial holder must identify itself to validly redeem
−Removed: Accordingly, a public shareholder would have from the time we send out our tender offer materials until the close of the
−Removed: tender offer period, or up to two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote on the proposal to approve the business combination
−Removed: if we distribute proxy materials, as applicable, to tender its shares if it wishes to seek to exercise its redemption rights.
−Removed: relatively short period in which to exercise redemption rights, it is advisable for shareholders to use electronic delivery of their
−Removed: public shares.
−Removed: is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through
−Removed: the DWAC System.
−Removed: The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker a fee of approximately $80.00 and it would be up to the
−Removed: broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming holder.
−Removed: However, this fee would be incurred regardless of whether or not
−Removed: we require holders seeking to exercise redemption rights to tender their shares.
−Removed: The need to deliver shares is a requirement of exercising
−Removed: redemption rights regardless of the timing of when such delivery must be effectuated.
−Removed: foregoing is different from the procedures used by many blank check companies.
−Removed: In order to perfect redemption rights in connection with
−Removed: their business combinations, many blank check companies would distribute proxy materials for the shareholders’ vote on an initial
−Removed: business combination, and a holder could simply vote against a proposed business combination and check a box on the proxy card indicating
−Removed: such holder was seeking to exercise his or her redemption rights.
−Removed: After the business combination was approved, the company would contact
−Removed: such shareholder to arrange for him or her to deliver his or her certificate to verify ownership.
−Removed: As a result, the shareholder then had
−Removed: an “option window” after the completion of the business combination during which he or she could monitor the price of the
−Removed: company’s shares in the market.
−Removed: If the price rose above the redemption price, he or she could sell his or her shares in the open
−Removed: market before actually delivering his or her shares to the company for cancellation.
−Removed: As a result, the redemption rights, to which shareholders
−Removed: were aware they needed to commit before the shareholder meeting, would become “option” rights surviving past the completion
−Removed: of the business combination until the redeeming holder delivered its certificate.
−Removed: The requirement for physical or electronic delivery
−Removed: prior to the meeting ensures that a redeeming shareholder’s election to redeem is irrevocable once the business combination is
−Removed: request to redeem such shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time up to two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote
−Removed: on the proposal to approve the business combination, unless otherwise agreed to by us.
−Removed: Furthermore, if a holder of a public share delivered
−Removed: its certificate in connection with an election of redemption rights and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect
−Removed: to exercise such rights, such holder may simply request that the transfer agent return the certificate (physically or electronically).
−Removed: It is anticipated that the funds to be distributed to holders of our public shares electing to redeem their shares will be distributed
−Removed: promptly after the completion of our initial business combination.
−Removed: our initial business combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then our public shareholders who elected to exercise their
−Removed: redemption rights would not be entitled to redeem their shares for the applicable pro rata share of the trust account.
−Removed: In such case,
−Removed: we will promptly return any certificates delivered by public holders who elected to redeem their shares.
−Removed: our initial proposed business combination is not completed, we may continue to try to complete a business combination with a different
−Removed: target until the combination period.
−Removed: of Public Shares and Liquidation If No Initial Business Combination
−Removed: amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that we will have only the combination period to consummate an initial
−Removed: business combination.
−Removed: If we have not consummated an initial business combination within the combination period, we will:
−Removed: all operations except for the purpose of winding up;
−Removed: (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days
−Removed: thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit
−Removed: in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes,
−Removed: if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then-outstanding public shares, which
−Removed: redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation
−Removed: distributions, if any);
−Removed: and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining
−Removed: shareholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to our obligations
−Removed: under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
−Removed: There will be no redemption
−Removed: rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to consummate an initial business
−Removed: combination within the combination period.
−Removed: Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association will provide that, if we wind
−Removed: up for any other reason prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, we will follow the foregoing procedures with respect
−Removed: to the liquidation of the trust account as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, subject to
−Removed: applicable Cayman Islands law.
−Removed: Sponsor and each member of our management team have entered into an agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their
−Removed: rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any founder shares they hold if we fail to consummate an initial
−Removed: business combination within the combination period (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account
−Removed: with respect to any public shares they hold if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame).
−Removed: Sponsor, executive officers and directors have agreed, pursuant to a written agreement with us, that they will not propose any amendment
−Removed: to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation
−Removed: to provide holders of our Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business
−Removed: combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the combination period
−Removed: or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares, unless we provide
−Removed: our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price,
−Removed: payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the
−Removed: trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, if any, divided by the number of the then-outstanding public shares
−Removed: expect that all costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be
−Removed: funded from amounts remaining held in Company accounts outside the trust account plus up to $100,000 of funds from the trust account
−Removed: available to us to pay dissolution expenses, although we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose.
−Removed: we were to expend all of the net proceeds of the initial public offering and the sale of the private placement warrants, other than the
−Removed: proceeds deposited in the trust account, and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the trust account, the per-share redemption
−Removed: amount received by shareholders upon our dissolution would be $10.00.
−Removed: The proceeds deposited in the trust account could, however, become
−Removed: subject to the claims of our creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of our public shareholders.
−Removed: We cannot assure
−Removed: you that the actual per-share redemption amount received by shareholders will not be less than $10.00.
−Removed: While we intend to pay
−Removed: such amounts, if any, we cannot assure you that we will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.
−Removed: we will seek to have all vendors, service providers (except our independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses
−Removed: and other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or
−Removed: to any monies held in the trust account for the benefit of our public shareholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such
−Removed: agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the trust account including,
−Removed: but not limited, to fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging
−Removed: the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the
−Removed: funds held in the trust account.
−Removed: If any third-party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the trust
−Removed: account, our management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third-party
−Removed: that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third-party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial
−Removed: to us than any alternative.
−Removed: Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third-party that refuses to execute a waiver include
−Removed: the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior
−Removed: to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider
−Removed: willing to execute a waiver.
−Removed: The representative of the underwriter will not execute an agreement with us waiving such claims to the monies
−Removed: held in the trust account.
−Removed: In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the
−Removed: future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the trust
−Removed: account for any reason.
−Removed: In order to protect the amounts held in the trust account, our Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us
−Removed: if and to the extent any claims by a third-party for services rendered or products sold to us (other than our independent registered
−Removed: public accounting firm), or a prospective target business with which we have discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce
−Removed: the amounts in the trust account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share
−Removed: held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account if less than $10.00 per public share due to reductions
−Removed: in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay our tax obligations, provided that such
−Removed: liability will not apply to any claims by a third-party or prospective target business that executed a waiver of any and all rights to
−Removed: seek access to the trust account nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the representative of the underwriter of the
−Removed: initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
−Removed: In the event that an executed waiver
−Removed: is deemed to be unenforceable against a third-party, our Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such
−Removed: third-party claims.
−Removed: However, we have not asked our Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have we independently
−Removed: verified whether our Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and we believe that our sponsor’s only assets
−Removed: are securities of our company.
−Removed: Therefore, we cannot assure you that our Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.
−Removed: officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective
−Removed: target businesses.
−Removed: the event that the proceeds in the trust account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual
−Removed: amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account if less than $10.00 per public
−Removed: share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay our
−Removed: tax obligations, and our Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification
−Removed: obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against our Sponsor
−Removed: to enforce its indemnification obligations.
−Removed: While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf
−Removed: against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their
−Removed: business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance.
−Removed: Accordingly, we cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors
−Removed: the actual value of the per-share redemption price will not be less than $10.00 per public share.
−Removed: will seek to reduce the possibility that our Sponsor will have to indemnify the trust account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring
−Removed: to have all vendors, service providers (except our independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other
−Removed: entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies
−Removed: held in the trust account.
−Removed: Our Sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriter of the initial
−Removed: public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
−Removed: We will have access to the amounts remaining
−Removed: in Company accounts outside the trust account following the initial public offering and the sale of the private placement warrants with
−Removed: which to pay any such potential claims (including costs and expenses incurred in connection with our liquidation, currently estimated
−Removed: to be no more than approximately $100,000).
−Removed: In the event that we liquidate, and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims
−Removed: and liabilities is insufficient, shareholders who received funds from our trust account could be liable for claims made by creditors,
−Removed: however such liability will not be greater than the amount of funds from our trust account received by any such shareholder.
−Removed: we file a bankruptcy or winding-up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding-up petition is filed against
−Removed: us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law, and may
−Removed: be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders.
−Removed: the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the trust account, we cannot assure you we will be able to return $10.00 per public share to
−Removed: our public shareholders.
−Removed: Additionally, if we file a bankruptcy or winding-up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding-up petition
−Removed: is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor
−Removed: and/or bankruptcy or insolvency laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.”
−Removed: a result, a bankruptcy or insolvency court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our shareholders.
−Removed: Furthermore, our board
−Removed: of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing
−Removed: itself and our company to claims of punitive damages, by paying public shareholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims
−Removed: of creditors.
−Removed: We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.
−Removed: public shareholders will be entitled to receive funds from the trust account only (i) in the event of the redemption of our public
−Removed: shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the combination period, (ii) in connection with a shareholder
−Removed: vote to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation
−Removed: to provide holders of our Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business
−Removed: combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the combination period
−Removed: or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares, or (iii) if
−Removed: they redeem their respective shares for cash upon the completion of the initial business combination.
−Removed: Public shareholders who redeem
−Removed: their Class A ordinary shares in connection with a shareholder vote described in clause (ii) in the preceding sentence shall
−Removed: not be entitled to funds from the trust account upon the subsequent completion of an initial business combination or liquidation if we
−Removed: have not consummated an initial business combination within the combination period, with respect to such Class A ordinary shares
−Removed: In no other circumstances will a shareholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account.
−Removed: we seek shareholder approval in connection with our initial business combination, a shareholder’s voting in connection with the
−Removed: business combination alone will not result in a shareholder’s redeeming its shares to us for an applicable pro rata share of the
−Removed: trust account.
−Removed: Such shareholder must have also exercised its redemption rights described above.
−Removed: These provisions of our amended and restated
−Removed: memorandum and articles of association, like all provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, may be
−Removed: amended with a shareholder vote.
−Removed: of Redemption or Purchase Prices in Connection with Our Initial Business Combination and If We Fail to Complete Our Initial Business
−Removed: following table compares the redemptions and other permitted purchases of public shares that may take place in connection with the completion
−Removed: of our initial business combination and if we have not consummated an initial business combination within the combination period:
−Removed: in Connection
−Removed: with Our Initial Business
−Removed: Permitted Purchases
−Removed: of Public Shares by Our
−Removed: if We Fail to
−Removed: Complete an Initial
−Removed: Business Combination
−Removed: Calculation of redemption
−Removed: at the time of our initial business combination may be made pursuant to a tender offer or in connection with a shareholder vote.
−Removed: The redemption price will be the same whether we conduct redemptions pursuant to a tender offer or in connection with a shareholder
−Removed: In either case, our public shareholders may redeem their public shares for cash equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit
−Removed: in the trust account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial business combination (which is initially
−Removed: anticipated to be $10.00 per public share), including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released
−Removed: to us to pay our taxes, if any, divided by the number of the then-outstanding public shares, subject to any limitations (including,
−Removed: but not limited, to cash requirements) agreed to in connection with the negotiation of terms of a proposed business combination.
−Removed: we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, our Sponsor, directors, officers, or their affiliates may purchase
−Removed: shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following completion of our initial business
−Removed: There is no limit to the prices that our Sponsor, directors, officers, or their affiliates may pay in these transactions.
−Removed: If they engage in such transactions, they will be restricted from making any such purchases when they are in possession of any material
−Removed: nonpublic information not disclosed to the seller or if such purchases are prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act.
−Removed: do not currently anticipate that such purchases, if any, would constitute a tender offer subject to the tender offer rules under
−Removed: the Exchange Act or a going- private transaction subject to the going-private rules under the Exchange Act;
−Removed: however, if the purchasers
−Removed: determine at the time of any such purchases that the purchases are subject to such rules, the purchasers will be required to comply
−Removed: with such rules.
−Removed: we have not consummated an initial business combination within the combination period, we will redeem all public shares at a per-share price,
−Removed: payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount, then on deposit in the trust account (which is initially anticipated to be $10.00
−Removed: per public share), including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our
−Removed: taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then-outstanding public
−Removed: in Connection
−Removed: with Our Initial Business
−Removed: Permitted Purchases
−Removed: of Public Shares by Our
−Removed: if We Fail to
−Removed: Complete an Initial
−Removed: Business Combination
−Removed: Impact to remaining shareholders
−Removed: redemptions in connection with our initial business combination will reduce the book value per share for our remaining shareholders,
−Removed: who will bear the burden of the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable.
−Removed: the permitted purchases described above are made, there would be no impact to our remaining shareholders because the purchase price
−Removed: would not be paid by us.
−Removed: redemption of our public shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination will reduce the book value per share for
−Removed: the shares held by our Sponsor, who will be our only remaining shareholder after such redemptions.
−Removed: identifying, evaluating and selecting a target business for our initial business combination, we may encounter intense competition from
−Removed: other entities having a business objective similar to ours, including other blank check companies, private equity groups and leveraged
−Removed: buyout funds, public companies, operating businesses seeking strategic acquisitions.
−Removed: Many of these entities are well established and
−Removed: have extensive experience identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates.
−Removed: Moreover, many of these competitors
−Removed: possess greater financial, technical, human and other resources than us.
−Removed: Our ability to acquire larger target businesses will be limited
−Removed: by our available financial resources.
−Removed: This inherent limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of a target business.
−Removed: Furthermore, our obligation to pay cash in connection with our public shareholders who exercise their redemption rights may reduce the
−Removed: resources available to us for our initial business combination and our outstanding warrants, and the future dilution they potentially
−Removed: represent, may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses.
−Removed: Either of these factors may place us at a competitive disadvantage
−Removed: in successfully negotiating an initial business combination.
−Removed: currently maintain our executive offices at 2021 Fillmore St.
−Removed: #2089, San Francisco, California
−Removed: The cost for our use of this space is included in the $10,000 per month fee we accrue
−Removed: to our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor for office space, unless waived by our Sponsor,
−Removed: administrative and support services.
−Removed: We consider our current office space adequate for our
−Removed: current operations.
−Removed: currently have two executive officers.
−Removed: These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters, but
−Removed: they intend to devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed our initial business combination.
−Removed: The amount of time they will devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for our initial
−Removed: business combination and the stage of the business combination process we are in.
−Removed: We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior
−Removed: to the completion of our initial business combination.
+Added: We were originally incorporated
+Added: under the name “Plum Acquisition Corp.
+Added: I.” as a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company and
+Added: formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination
+Added: with one or more businesses.
+Added: As discussed in this Annual Report, we completed the Business Combination on September 13, 2024 and changed
+Added: our name to “Veea Inc.”
+Added: We are dedicated to simplifying
+Added: the journey towards creating a world in which virtually everyone and everything is intelligently connected , while bringing applications
+Added: and AI to the edge of the network.
+Added: Most service providers, equipment suppliers, system integrators and even hyperscalers have adopted
+Added: or advocated for similar solutions to various degrees either independently or in collaboration with the Company.
+Added: However, to our knowledge,
+Added: we are the first to market with patented technologies that a) bring virtualized data center capabilities to the far edge of the network,
+Added: commonly referred to as the Device Edge, where all wired and wireless devices connect to the network (the “Edge”), b) spawns
+Added: hyperconvergence of computing, multiaccess communications and storage, (“Edge Computing”) c) provides for Cloud-managed applications
+Added: at the Edge (“Hybrid Edge-Cloud Computing”), d) enables machine learning with AI training, inferencing, and Agentic AI at
+Added: the Edge (“Edge AI”) including AI-driven cybersecurity for heterogenous networks.
+Added: Such networks have given rise through
+Added: any combination of our developed devices and third-party devices, with CPUs, GPUs, TPUs, DPUs and/or NPUs, that run on the Veea Edge Platform’s
+Added: software stack (“VeeaWare”).
+Added: Veea has developed several generations
+Added: of highly integrated all-in-one devices that incorporate a Linux server, with a virtualized software environment, supporting our patented
+Added: secured docker containers, together with a Wi-Fi Access Point (AP) with a mesh router, a firewall, an IoT gateway, NVMe data storage and
+Added: 4G/5G modules referred to as the “VeeaHub” product.
+Added: With an extensive patent portfolio of 125 granted patents and 25 pending
+Added: patent applications that cover 26 patent families, our end-to-end Hybrid Edge-Cloud Computing platform represents a new product category
+Added: that has the potential for wide scale customer adoption in large segments of consumer and enterprise markets.
+Added: Veea Edge Platform’s products,
+Added: applications, and services with a distributed computing architecture, offered as a Platform-as-a-Service (“ ePaaS ”)
+Added: capability, empowering companies to capitalize on the transformative potential of Edge AI, where most of the data from smartphones, tablets,
+Added: laptops, cameras, sensors, and other devices is generated, with data privacy and sovereignty, reliability, low latency for real-time decisions,
+Added: bandwidth efficiency, scalability, and reduced costs compared to alternatives.
+Added: VeeaHub products, about the size
+Added: of a typical Wi-Fi Access Point (AP), are offered in variety of form factors with different capabilities for indoor and outdoor coverage
+Added: and are both locally- and cloud-managed.
+Added: Veea Edge Platform architecture and business model, VeeaHub Ò
+Added: and third-party devices on Veea Edge Platform with Hybrid Edge-Cloud Computing and AI-enabled applications and services, to a certain
+Added: degree is similar to Android OS platform architecture and business model for Android devices.
+Added: The VeeaEdge Platform Ô
+Added: offers an alternative to cloud computing by enabling the formation of highly secure, but easily accessible, private clouds and networks
+Added: across one or multiple user(s) or enterprise location(s) across the globe.
+Added: The benefits include optimal latency, lower data transport
+Added: costs, data privacy, security and ownership, Edge AI, as well as “always-on” availability for mission critical applications,
+Added: and contextual awareness for people, devices and things connected to the Internet.
+Added: Our products and services have
+Added: been deployed across multiple countries and industries;
+Added: however, we are focused on high-growth market segments such as fixed-line or 5G-based
+Added: fixed wireless broadband access, and subscription-based managed Wi-Fi for unserved / underserved communities.
+Added: In both cases, broadband
+Added: or Internet connectivity services are offered with a variety of Edge applications and value-added services, including advanced AI-driven
+Added: cybersecurity, through Mobile Network Operators (“MNOs”), Multiple System Operators (MSOs), Internet Service Providers (“ISPs”)
+Added: and other types of Managed Service Providers (“MSPs”).
+Added: The industrial applications include climate smart buildings, smart
+Added: farming with precision agriculture, smart warehouses and smart retail as cloud-managed converged private networks.
+Added: Gartner recognized the innovativeness
+Added: and capabilities of the platform by naming Private Veea a Leading Smart Edge Platform in 2023 and Cool Vendor in Edge Computing in 2021.
+Added: Market Reports World in its research report published in October 2023 named Private Veea as one of the top 10 Edge AI solution providers
+Added: alongside of IBM, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (“ AWS ”) and others.
+Added: Private Veea was founded in 2014
+Added: by Allen Salmasi, our Chief Executive Officer and a pioneering wireless technology leader.
+Added: Salmasi helped to drive industry transformation
+Added: through his contributions to the development of CDMA/TDMA-based OmniTRACS, the largest mobile satellite messaging and position reporting
+Added: system with integrated IoT solutions during the 1980s and 1990s;
+Added: CDMA-based 2G/3G technologies and products at Qualcomm in 1990s;
+Added: 4G technologies and products at NextWave during the 2000s, and hyper-converged edge computing and communications during the 2010s;
+Added: beyond with Veea.
+Added: Salmasi has assembled a talented and experienced management and engineering team that includes former senior executives
+Added: of leading technology, telecom, SaaS, and wireless companies that possess a deep understanding of wireless technologies, networking edge
+Added: and cloud computing.

+Added: we're connecting businesses to outcomes, ideas to reality, and complexity
+Added: to simplicity.
+Added: Our platform creates intelligent connectivity, transforming intricate technological landscapes into streamlined environments
+Added: that anyone can leverage.
+Added: We are focused on markets - Fixed-line
+Added: or 5G-based Fixed Wireless Broadband Access, Unserved / Underserved Communities, Climate Smart Buildings, Converged Private Networks,
+Added: and Smart Retail – that we believe offer high potential for growth and can benefit from our products and services offerings in a
+Added: way that transforms their businesses and business models in a secure, cost-effective, and meaningful manner.
