Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies
Registration and Shareholders Rights
The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans
(and in each case holders of their component securities, as applicable) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed simultaneously with the offering (October 13, 2021), requiring the Company to
register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to our Class A ordinary shares). The holders of the majority 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 “piggy-back” registration rights with respect
to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a 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.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriter is entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $7,780,500 in the aggregate, and a discretionary deferred
fee of $2,000,000. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the
event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Effective as of September 1, 2023, the underwriters from the Initial Public Offering resigned and withdrew from their role
in the Business Combination and thereby waived their entitlement to the deferred underwriting commissions in the amount of $9,780,500,
which was recorded as a gain on settlement of underwriter fees on the statement of shareholders’ deficit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 for $9,223,757, which represents the original amount recorded to accumulated deficit, and the remaining balance representing the original amount recorded to the condensed statements of operations of $556,743 was recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Softbank and Sponsor Investors Investment
A fund managed by SB Management Limited, a 100% directly owned subsidiary of SoftBank and certain members of our sponsor, in the aggregate, have purchased $100.0 million of units (or 10,000,000 units) and $7.7 million of units (or 770,000
units), respectively, in the Initial Public Offering, and we agreed to direct the underwriter to sell Softbank and the sponsor investors such number of units, which number of units in the aggregate equals approximately 37.5% of the total number of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding. Such number of units, together with Class B
ordinary shares held by our initial shareholders, equals approximately 57.5% of the total number of Class A ordinary shares and
Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding. The underwriter is entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.35 per unit for every
unit purchased by Softbank, the payment of which has been deferred and will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination. The underwriter did
not receive any underwritten discount for any unit purchased by the sponsor investors. Softbank and the sponsor investors entered into a letter agreement with us pursuant to which they would agree (a) to vote all of their public shares
purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of our initial Business Combination on terms substantially identical to those agreed to by the initial shareholders with respect to the initial shareholders’ voting arrangement and
(b) not transfer, assign or sell any of their units and the underlying securities for a period of 60 days from the date of the
Initial Public Offering.
As Softbank has purchased such units in this offering, if they vote them in favor of our initial Business Combination, it
is possible that no votes from other public shareholders would be required to approve our initial Business Combination, depending on the number of shares that are present at the meeting to approve such transaction.
