Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated on January 15, 2021, in Delaware and formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to throughout this Annual Report as our “initial business combination”. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) and the private placement of the Private Units (as defined below), the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial business combination (pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements we may enter into following the consummation of the Initial Public Offering 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 of the foregoing.

The issuance of additional shares in connection with an initial business combination:

Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant debt, it could result in:

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our initial business combination plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our initial business combination will be successful.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. Our only activities for the period from January 15, 2021 (inception), through June 30, 2024, were organizational activities, after IPO related to identifying a target company for a business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents held after the Initial Public Offering. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we had net loss of $154,867, which consisted of operating costs of $270,890, income tax provision of $27,686 and change in warrant liability of $(4,782), offset by interest income on investments held in the trust account of $148.491. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we had had net profit of $322,616, which consists of interest income on investments held in the trust account of $249,996 and change in warrant liability of $9,961, offset by operating costs of $(118,762), and income tax provision of $56,103. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On August 2, 2021, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 units (the “Units”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock (“Public Share”), one right (“Public Right”) and one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each Public Right entitles the holder to receive one-twentieth of one share of common stock at the closing of our initial business combination. Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase three-fourths of one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 714,400 units (the “Private Units”), at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit ($7,144,000 in the aggregate). Each Private Unit consists of one share of common stock (“Private Share”), one right (“Private Right”) and one warrant (“Private Warrant”). Each Private Right entitles the holder to receive one-twentieth of one share of common stock at the closing of our initial business combination. Each Private Warrant entitles the holder to purchase three-fourths of one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share.

The proceeds from the Private Units were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering to be held in the Trust Account. If we do not complete our initial business combination within 12 months (or up to 18 months if our time to complete a business combination is extended), the proceeds of the sale of the Private Units will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Units and all underlying securities will be worthless. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to the rights and warrants included in the Private Units.

On August 6, 2021, in connection with the underwriters’ exercise in full of their option to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, we consummated the sale of an additional 3,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $30,000,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the exercise of the over-allotment option, we consummated the sale of an additional 82,500 Private Units, at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, in a private placement to our Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $825,000.

We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the private placement, including the funds held in the trust account, in connection with our initial business combination and to pay our expenses relating thereto, including deferred underwriting commissions payable to the underwriters in an amount equal to 3.5% ($8,050,000) of the total gross proceeds raised in the Initial Public Offering upon consummation of our initial business combination. To the extent that our capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to affect our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account as well as any other net proceeds not expended will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations, for strategic acquisitions and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders’ fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our initial business combination if the funds available to us outside of the trust account were insufficient to cover such expenses.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash of $247 and a working capital deficit of $6,726,996. Accumulated deficit balances were $14,298,150 and $13,992,478 as of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant transaction costs in pursuit of the consummation of a Business Combination. The Company may need to obtain additional financing either to complete its Business Combination or because it becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of public shares upon consummation of its Business Combination, in which case, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.

Management has determined that if the Company is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs or to complete a Business Combination by September 2, 2024 (or January 2, 2025, if it fully exercises its option to extend the date to consummate a business combination), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to IMAQ to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of IMAQ’s remaining stockholders and their board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to IMAQ’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law Management has determined that the mandatory liquidation, if a Business Combination not occur, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after September 2, 2024 (or January 2, 2025, if it exercises its option to extend the date to consummate a business combination). Management plans to continue to draw down the funds on its promissory notes, repayable promptly on demand and, in any event, no later than the date on which the Company terminates or consummates an initial business combination. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a business combination will be successful.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Amended Combination Period (January 2, 2025), the Company’s board of directors would proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a Business Combination will be successful within the Amended Combination Period. As a result, management has determined that such an additional condition also raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2024. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non- financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, the Private Units and any units that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans or extension loans (and any securities underlying the Private Units or units issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans or extension loans)) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on the effective date of the IPO. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of an initial Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, $ 2,445,000 were outstanding under all the promissory notes.

Promissory Notes – JC Unify

The January 2024 Promissory Note shall be payable promptly on demand and in any event, no later than the date on which the Company terminates or consummates an initial business combination. Such January 2024 Promissory Note is convertible into units having the same terms and conditions as the private placement units as described in the prospectus dated July 28, 2021 (Registration NO. 333-255106) (the “Prospectus”), at the price of $10.00 per unit, at the option of the Buyer. The January 2024 Promissory Note does not bear interest. As additional consideration for the Buyer making the January 2024 Promissory Note available to the Company, the Company shall issue to the Buyer (a) 100,000 new units at the closing of the Business Combination, which shall be identical in all respects to the private placement units issued at the Company’s initial public offering (the “New Units”), and (b) 847,675 shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Additional Securities”) of which (i) 250,000 of the Additional Securities shall be subject to no transfer restrictions or any other lock-up provisions, earn outs or other contingencies, and shall be registered for resale pursuant to the first registration statement filed by the Company or the surviving entity in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, or if no such registration statement is filed in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the first registration statement filed subsequent to the closing of the Business Combination, which will be filed no later than 30 days after the closing of the Business Combination and declared effective no later than 60 days after the closing of the Business Combination; and (ii) 657,675 of the Additional Securities shall be subject to the same terms and conditions applied to the insider shares described in the Prospectus. The Additional Securities and New Units shall be issued to the Buyer in conjunction with the closing of a Business Combination.

On February 27, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $530,000 (the “Promissory Note B”) to JC Unify Capital (Holdings) Limited. Pursuant to Promissory Note B, the Buyer agreed to loan to the Company an aggregate amount of up to $530,000. The Promissory Note B shall be payable promptly on demand and in any event, no later than the date on which the Company terminates or consummates an initial business combination. The Promissory Note B is convertible into units having the same terms and conditions as the private placement units as described in the Prospectus, at the price of $10.00 per unit, at the option of the Buyer. The Promissory Note B does not bear interest. The proceeds of Promissory Note B will be used by the Company to pay various expenses of the Company, including any payment to extend the period of time the Company has to consummate an initial business combination, and for working capital purposes.

On February 27, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $470,000 (the “Promissory Note C”) to JC Unify. Pursuant to Promissory Note C, the Buyer agreed to loan to the Company an aggregate amount of up to $470,000. The Promissory Note C shall be payable promptly on demand and in any event, no later than the date on which the Company terminates or consummates an initial business combination. The Promissory Note C does not bear interest and is convertible into units having the same terms and conditions as the private placement units as described in the Prospectus, at the price of $10.00 per unit, at the option of the Buyer.

On June 28, 2024, the Company entered into amendments to the January 2024 Promissory Note, Promissory Note B and Promissory Note C (the January 2024 Promissory Note, Promissory Note B and Promissory Note C are collectively referred to as the “Prior Notes”) with JC Unify Capital (Holdings) Limited (the “Amendments to the Promissory Notes”). Pursuant to the Amendments to the Promissory Notes, JC Unify Capital (Holdings) Limited has the right to convert the Prior Notes into units consisting of one share of Common Stock of the Company and one right to receive one-twentieth of one share of Common Stock of the Company (together, the “Conversion Securities”), with no fractional Conversion Securities to be issued upon conversion, and the Prior Notes to be converted immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination. The Amendments to the Promissory Notes also amended the events of default, so that the failure of the Company to issue Conversion Securities constitutes a failure to make required payments, constituting an event of default.

As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, total loans outstanding were $1,573,032 and $1,062,232, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have not identified critical accounting estimates; we have identified the following critical accounting policies:

Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock

Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. As the Public Shares are considered to be redeemable at fair value, and a redemption at fair value does not amount to a distribution different than other stockholders, redeemable and non-redeemable common stock are presented as one class of stock in calculating net loss per share. We have not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to purchase an aggregate of 17,847,675 shares in the calculation of diluted income per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events.

Warrant Liability

We account for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to our common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent annual period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

All of the remaining Public Shares sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with our liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the initial business combination and in connection with certain amendments to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. In accordance with SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within our control require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, all redeemable Public Shares have been classified outside of permanent equity.

We recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

Share Based Payment Arrangements

On July 7, 2021, the Sponsor entered into agreements with two independent directors to transfer 95,000 Founder Shares to each director, subject to and upon closing of our initial business combination. As such, under ASC 718, these shares are transferred subject to a performance condition and compensation expense will be recognized at the date of a business combination when earned.

On July 22, 2021, the Sponsor sold 30,000 of its Founder Shares to each of its five independent directors (the “Directors”) (or 150,000 Founder Shares in total) for cash consideration of approximately $0.004 per share. These awards are subject to ASC 718. In accordance with ASC 718, the Company recognized compensation expense in an amount equal to the number of Founders Shares sold times the grant date fair value per share less the amount initially received for the purchase of the Founders Shares. The value of the Founder Shares sold to the Directors was determined to be $787,500 as of July 22, 2021.

On September 17, 2021, the Sponsor sold 25,000 of its Founder Shares to an additional independent director (the “Additional Director”) for consideration of approximately $0.004 per share. These awards are subject to ASC 718. In accordance with ASC 718, the Company recognized compensation expense in an amount equal to the number of Founders Shares sold times the grant date fair value per share less the amount initially received for the purchase of the Founders Shares. The value of the Founder Shares sold to the Additional Director was determined to be $141,250 as of September 17, 2021.

On September 17, 2021, the Sponsor sold 75,000 of its Founder Shares to an independent consultant (the “Consultant”) for consideration of approximately $0.004 per share. These awards are subject to ASC 718. In accordance with ASC 718, the Company recognized compensation expense in an amount equal to the number of Founders Shares sold times the grant date fair value per share less the amount initially received for the purchase of the Founders Shares. The value of the Founder Shares sold to the Consultant was determined to be $423,750 as of September 17, 2021.

On January 24, 2023, the Company entered into a Loan & Transfer Agreement (“Polar Loan Agreement”) with Polar Asset Management Partners (“Polar”), whereby the Sponsor was permitted to borrow $385,541 (the “Initial Loan”) and $128,513 per month, at the Company’s discretion (each a “Monthly Loan” and collectively with the Initial Loan, the “Loan”) which will in turn be loaned by the Sponsor to the Company, to cover certain extension payments to the trust account of the Company.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to make disclosures under this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls are procedures designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer, who is also our principal financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2024. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of June 30, 2024, due to the previously reported material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the Company’s accounting for complex financial instruments and stock-based compensation. We also have a material weakness in our internal control surrounding the review of accounts payable and accrued expenses to ensure expense recognition in the proper period. As a result, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting except as described below.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We may be subject to legal proceedings, investigations and claims incidental to the conduct of our business and other contingencies from time to time. We are not currently a party to any material litigation or other legal proceedings brought against us. We are also not aware of any legal proceeding, investigation or claim, or other legal exposure that has a more than remote possibility of having a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to provide Risk Factors in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. However, in addition to the risk factors disclosed in our prospectus filed with the SEC on July 29, 2021, the Company has identified the below-listed additional risk factors. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt about our ability continue as a “going concern.”

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $247 in cash outside of the Trust Account, and a working capital deficit of $6,726,996. Further, the Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant expenses in connection with our initial business combination activities. Management’s plans to address any need for additional capital are discussed in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to consummate an initial business combination will be successful. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the trust account. In addition, if the Company is unable to complete a business combination by September 2, 2024 (or January 2, 2025, if it exercises its option to extend the date to consummate a business combination), the Company’s board of directors would proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a business combination will be successful within the Combination Period. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements contained elsewhere in this Form 10-K do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Due to the number of special purpose acquisition companies seeking targets, attractive targets may become more scarce and there is increased competition for attractive targets. This could increase the cost of our initial business combination and it could even result in our inability to find a target or to consummate an initial business combination.

In recent years, the number of special purpose acquisition companies seeking targets has increased. Many potential targets for special purpose acquisition companies have already entered into an initial business combination, and there are still many special purpose acquisition companies preparing for an initial public offering, as well as many such companies currently in registration. As a result, at times, fewer attractive targets may be available to consummate an initial business combination.

In addition, because there are more special purpose acquisition companies seeking to enter into an initial business combination with available targets, the competition for available targets with attractive fundamentals or business models may increase, which could cause targets companies to demand improved financial terms. Attractive deals could also become more scarce for other reasons, such as high redemption rates, economic or industry sector downturns, geopolitical tensions, or increases in the cost of additional capital needed to close business combinations or operate targets post-business combination. Together, this could increase the cost of, delay or otherwise complicate or frustrate our ability to find and consummate an initial business combination, and may result in our inability to consummate an initial business combination on terms favorable to our shareholders altogether.

We may not be able to complete the Business Combination since such initial business combination may be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations and review by a U.S. government entity such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”), or ultimately prohibited.

The Sponsor, Content Creation Media LLC, is a Delaware limited liability company, is controlled by Shibasish Sarkar, an individual who resides in and is a citizen of India. We are therefore likely considered a “foreign person” under the regulations administered by CFIUS and will continue to be considered as such in the future for so long as the Sponsor has the ability to exercise control over us for purposes of CFIUS’s regulations. While we believe that the nature of IMAQ’s business, and the nature of the businesses of Reliance should not make the transaction subject to U.S. foreign regulations or review by a U.S. government entity, it is possible that the Business Combination may be subject to CFIUS review, the scope of which was expanded by the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (“FIRRMA”), to include certain non-passive, non-controlling investments in sensitive U.S. businesses and certain acquisitions of real estate even with no underlying U.S. business. FIRRMA, and subsequent implementing regulations that are now in force, also subjects certain categories of investments to mandatory filings. If the Business Combination falls within CFIUS’s jurisdiction, we may determine that we are required to make a mandatory filing or that we will submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed with the Business Combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the Business Combination. CFIUS may decide to block or delay the Business Combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to the Business Combination or order us to divest all or a portion of a U.S. business of the combined company without first obtaining CFIUS clearance, which may limit the attractiveness of or prevent us from consummating the Business Combination.

Moreover, the process of government review, whether by the CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy and we have limited time to complete the Business Combination. If we fail to consummate an initial business combination prior to July 2, 2025 (unless otherwise extended) because the review exceeds such timeframe or because our initial business combination is ultimately prohibited by CFIUS or another U.S. government entity, we may be required to liquidate. If we liquidate, our public stockholders may only receive their pro rata share of the funds in the trust account, and our warrants and rights will expire worthless. This will also cause you to lose the investment opportunity in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.

There are no assurances that we will be able to complete an initial business combination.

The Company can provide no assurances that an agreement for an initial business combination will be signed or if signed that it will be consummated by September 2, 2024 (or January 2, 2025, if it exercises its option to extend the date to consummate a business combination). Our ability to consummate an initial business combination is dependent on a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. If the Extension is approved and implemented and the Company enters into a business combination agreement, the Company expects to seek stockholder approval of an initial business combination. We will be required to offer public stockholders redemption rights again in connection with any stockholder vote to approve an initial business combination. Even if an initial business combination is approved by our stockholders, it is possible that redemptions will leave us with insufficient cash to consummate a business combination on commercially acceptable terms, or at all.

If we are deemed to be an “investment company” for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we would be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities would be severely restricted. As a result, in such circumstances, unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we may abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead liquidate the Company.

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”), our activities may be restricted, including:

In addition, we may have imposed upon us burdensome requirements, including:

In order not to be regulated as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, unless we can qualify for an exclusion, we must ensure that we are engaged primarily in a business other than investing, reinvesting or trading of securities and that our activities do not include investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading “investment securities” constituting more than 40% of our assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. Our business is to identify and complete an initial business combination and thereafter to operate the post-transaction business or assets for the long term. We do not plan to buy businesses or assets with a view to resale or profit from their resale. We do not plan to buy unrelated businesses or assets or to be a passive investor.

We do not believe that our current and anticipated principal activities subject us to the Investment Company Act. To this end, the proceeds held in the Trust Account may only be held as cash, or invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Pursuant to the trust agreement, the trustee is not permitted to invest in other securities or assets. By restricting the investment of the proceeds to these instruments or by holding the proceeds as cash, and by having a business plan targeted at acquiring and growing businesses for the long term (rather than on buying and selling businesses in the manner of a merchant bank or private equity fund), we intend to avoid being deemed an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act. If we do not invest the proceeds as discussed above, we may be deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act.

However, even if we invest the proceeds in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, we may be deemed to be an investment company. Additionally, in the adopting release for final rules issued on January 24, 2024 by the SEC (the “2024 SPAC Rules”), the SEC provided guidance that a SPAC’s potential status as an “investment company” depends on a variety of factors, such as a SPAC’s duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities and “is a question of facts and circumstances” requiring individualized analysis. The longer that the funds in the Trust Account are held in short-term U.S. government securities or in money market funds invested exclusively in such securities, the greater the risk that we may be considered an unregistered investment company, in which case we may be required to liquidate.

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, our activities would be severely restricted. In addition, we would be subject to burdensome compliance requirements. If we are deemed to be an investment company and subject to registration under, compliance with and regulation under the Investment Company Act, we would be subject to additional regulatory burdens and expenses for which we have not allotted funds. As a result, unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we may abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead liquidate the Company. Were we to liquidate, our warrants would expire worthless, and our securityholders would lose the investment opportunity associated with an investment in the combined company, including any potential price appreciation of our securities.

Changes to laws or regulations or in how such laws or regulations are interpreted or applied, or a failure to comply with any laws, regulations, interpretations or applications may adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination.

We are subject to laws and regulations, and interpretations and applications of such laws and regulations, of national, regional, state and local governments and applicable non-U.S. jurisdictions. In particular, we are required to comply with certain SEC and potentially other legal and regulatory requirements, and our consummation of an initial business combination may be contingent upon our ability to comply with certain laws, regulations, interpretations and applications and any post-business combination company may be subject to additional laws, regulations, interpretations and applications. Compliance with, and monitoring of, the foregoing may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time, and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete an initial business combination. A failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination.

The 2024 SPAC Rules, among other items, impose additional disclosure requirements in initial public offerings by SPACs and business combination transactions involving SPACs and private operating companies; amend the financial statement requirements applicable to business combination transactions involving such companies; update and expand guidance regarding the general use of projections in SEC filings, as well as when projections are disclosed in connection with proposed business combination transactions; increase the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and could impact the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The 2024 SPAC Rules may materially adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete, and the costs associated with, our initial business combination, and results of operations.

To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we have instructed Continental, the trustee, to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest bearing demand deposit account until the earlier of the consummation of an initial business combination or our liquidation. Following the liquidation of investments in the Trust Account, we receive reduced interest, if any, on the funds held in the Trust Account, which reduces the dollar amount our public shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.

The funds in the Trust Account are held only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. However, the longer that the funds in the Trust Account are held in short-term U.S. government securities or in money market funds invested exclusively in such securities, the greater the risk that we may be considered an unregistered investment company, in which case we may be required to liquidate. To mitigate the risk of us being deemed to be an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act) and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, we instructed Continental, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in an interest bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of the consummation of our Initial Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company. Following such liquidation, we receive reduced interest on the funds held in the Trust Account. However, interest previously earned on the funds held in the Trust Account still may be released to us to pay our taxes, if any, and certain other expenses as permitted. As a result, our decision to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in an interest bearing demand deposit at a bank reduces the dollar amount our Public Shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.

Nasdaq has delisted our securities from trading on Nasdaq, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

On July 30, 2024, the Company received a notice (“Delisting Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Staff of Nasdaq, which stated that, unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) by August 6, 2024 for additional time to complete a business combination, trading of the Company’s securities on The Nasdaq Capital Market would be suspended at the opening of business on August 8, 2024, due to the Company’s non-compliance with Nasdaq IM-5101-2, which requires that a special purpose acquisition company complete one or more business combinations within 36 months of the effectiveness of its IPO registration statement.

On August 8, 2024, trading in the Company’s securities was suspended on Nasdaq. The securities are now quoted over the counter under the same symbols.

The delisting of our securities by Nasdaq could adversely affect the trading market for our securities, as price quotations may not be as readily obtainable, which would likely have a material adverse effect on the market price of our securities and the Company’s ability to raise additional  capital.

Moreover, we can provide no assurance that trading in our securities will continue over the counter or otherwise. As a result of the delisting, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

Currently our securities are not eligible for proprietary broker-dealer quotations. All quotes will reflect unsolicited customer orders and, as a result, we expect any trading to involve a higher risk of wider spreads, increased volatility, and price dislocations and a general illiquid trading environment. Proprietary broker-dealer quotations may not commence until an initial review by a broker-dealer under the SEC’s Rule 15c2-11 which would enable brokers to publish competing quotes and provide continuous market making. No assurance can be provided that a liquid trading market will develop even if market makers begin proprietary quotations and thus we expect investors will experience difficulty in trading our securities.

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” Because they have been delisted, our securities would not be covered securities and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities. This state level regulation introduces additional compliance requirements for brokers to consider making markets in our securities and will further negatively impact any trading liquidity in our securities.

The Company may be affected by the Excise Tax included in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”), which, among other things, imposes a 1% excise tax on any publicly traded domestic corporation that repurchases its stock after December 31, 2022 (the “Excise Tax”). The Excise Tax is imposed on the fair market value of the repurchased stock, with certain exceptions. Because we are a Delaware corporation and our securities are trading on Nasdaq, we will be a “covered corporation” within the meaning of the IR Act. While not free from doubt, absent any further guidance from the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”), which has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the Excise Tax, the Excise Tax may apply to any redemptions of our common stock after December 31, 2022, including redemptions in connection with an initial business combination, extension vote or otherwise, unless an exemption is available. The Excise Tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holders. Generally, issuances of securities by us in connection with an initial business combination transaction (including any PIPE transaction at the time of an initial business combination), as well as any other issuances of securities not in connection with our initial business combination, would be expected to reduce the amount of the Excise Tax in connection with redemptions occurring in the same calendar year, but the number of securities redeemed may exceed the number of securities issued.

Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the Excise Tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the business combination, extension vote or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a business combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a business combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a business combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. Consequently, the Excise Tax may make a transaction with us less appealing to potential business combination targets. Finally, based on recently issued interim guidance from the Internal Revenue Service and Treasury in Notice 2023-2, subject to certain exceptions, the Excise Tax should not apply in the event of our liquidation.

Payment of the Excise Tax if the Company is subject to the Excise Tax.

We will not be permitted to use the proceeds placed in the Trust Account and the interest earned thereon to pay any Excise Taxes imposed under the IR Act on the any future redemptions or stock buybacks by the Company.

We have not asked our Sponsor to reserve for any excise tax imposed under the IR Act, nor have we independently verified whether our Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy any such excise tax payment, and we believe that our Sponsor’s only material assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, we cannot assure you that our Sponsor would be able to satisfy any excise tax payments.
