The Private Units were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the transactions did not involve a public offering. The Sponsor purchased the Private Units pursuant to a Private Placement Unit Purchase Agreement, dated May 1, 2023, by and between the Company and the Sponsor (the “Private Units Purchase Agreement”). Each Private Unit consists of one ordinary share, and one private placement right granting the holder thereof the right to receive two-tenth (2/10) of an ordinary share upon the consummation of an initial business combination. The terms of the Private Units and the securities comprising the Private Units are described in more detail in the Issuer’s Final Prospectus dated May 1, 2023 as filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) on May 4, 2023 (the “Final Prospectus”).

 

 

The equity securities of the Issuer owned by the Reporting Persons have been acquired for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons may make further acquisitions of the Issuer’s securities from time to time and, subject to certain restrictions, may dispose of any or all of such securities held by the Reporting Persons at any time depending on an ongoing evaluation of the investment in such securities, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities and other factors. However, as further described in Item 6 below, the Reporting Persons agreed to certain lock-up restrictions regarding the securities of the Issuer held by them.

 

Except for the foregoing, the Reporting Persons do not have any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) and (c) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed herein. The Reporting Persons have acquired the shares reported herein for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the Issuer’s ordinary shares, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons and their representatives may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate, including, without limitation, engaging in communications with members of the Issuer’s board of directors, members of the Issuer’s management and/or other stockholders of the Issuer from time to time with respect to potential business combination opportunities and operational, strategic, financial or governance matters, or otherwise work with management and the Issuer’s board of directors to identify, evaluate, structure, negotiate, execute or otherwise facilitate a business combination, purchasing additional ordinary shares, and/or rights, selling some or all of its ordinary shares, and/or rights , engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the ordinary shares, including swaps and other derivative instruments, or changing its intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4.

The purpose of any such purchases of rights could be to reduce the number of rights outstanding or to vote such securities on any matters submitted to the holders of such securities for approval in connection with the Issuer’s initial business combination. Any such purchases of the Issuer’s securities may result in the completion of the initial business combination that may not otherwise have been possible.

 

With respect to paragraph (b) of Item 4, the Issuer is a newly organized blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.
