NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Registration Rights
The holders of the (i) Founder Shares and (ii) Private Placement Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (iii) Private Placement Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of New Sponsor Notes will have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the Company’s securities held by them pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed in connection with the Public Offering. The Company will be obligated to register up to 9,225,000 Class A ordinary shares and 2,600,000 warrants. The number of Class A ordinary shares includes (i) 6,625,000 Class A ordinary shares to be issued upon conversion of the Founder Shares, (ii) 1,500,000 Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and (iii) 1,100,000 Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of New Sponsor Notes. The number of warrants includes 1,500,000 Private Placement Warrants issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and 1,100,000 Private Placement Warrants issued upon conversion of New Sponsor Notes. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggyback” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company’s completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriters earned a cash underwriting discount of two percent (2%) of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering (including the over-allotment), or $6,900,000.
The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 4,500,000 units to cover over-allotments, if any. The underwriters exercised their full over-allotment option on December 17, 2021.
Business Combination Marketing Agreement
The Company engaged Cantor and Roth as advisors in connection with the Business Combination to assist in holding meetings with the shareholders to discuss the potential Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested in purchasing securities in connection with the Business Combination, assist in obtaining shareholder approval for the Business Combination and assist with press releases and public filings in connection with the Business Combination. The Company will pay Cantor and Roth a cash fee for such services upon the consummation of the Business Combination in an amount equal to 5.0% of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering (exclusive of any applicable finders’ fees which might become payable), which will only be paid upon the completion of the Company’s Business Combination. On January 16, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with each of the advisors whereby such parties waived their entitlement to the payment of cash fees and expenses at the initial Business Combination. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, neither Cantor nor Roth has provided any services under this agreement. |
