NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder Shares
On February 2, 2021, in consideration for the payment of certain of the Company’s offering costs, the Company applied $25,000 of outstanding advances from the Sponsor towards the issuance of 7,187,000 shares of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares. On August 20, 2021 and September 9, 2021, the Sponsor effected a surrender of 1,287,000 Class B ordinary shares and 150,000 Class B ordinary
shares, respectively, to the Company for no consideration, resulting in a decrease in the total number of Class B ordinary shares
outstanding from 7,187,000 to 5,750,000.
All shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the share surrender. The initial shareholders agreed to forfeit up to 750,000 Founder Shares to the extent the over-allotment was not exercised in full by the underwriter. In May 2021, our sponsor transferred 30,000 founder shares to each of our independent directors at the same price originally paid for such shares. On October 13, 2021, the underwriter
exercised the full over-allotment option.
The Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination or (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange
or similar transaction that results in the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the last sale price of the Company’s Class A ordinary
shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the
like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading
day period commencing at least 150 days after the Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up.
Promissory Note — Related Party
Related Party Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the sponsor, an affiliate of the sponsor, or the Company’s
officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be repaid upon consummation
of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of notes may be converted upon
consummation of a Business Combination into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants will be identical to the Private
Placement Warrants. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to
repay the Working Capital Loans.
On May 3, 2022, the Company entered into a promissory note with the Sponsor pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate amount of $1,050,000 which the Company drew down in full on May 5, 2022. This note is non-interest bearing and is due on the earlier of the day by which the Company must complete a
Business Combination, and the effective date of a Business Combination. On December, 29, 2023, the Company and the Sponsor amended and
restated the promissory note, agreeing to amend the principal amount of the loan of up to $2,487,000. On March 19,
2024, the Company and the Sponsor further amended and restated the First Restated Note, agreeing to amend the principal amount of the loan of up to $3,050,000,
which was fully drawn as of such date. The outstanding balance under
this loan amounted to $2,439,000 as of December 31, 2023 and $1,050,000 as of December 31, 2022. Management determined that there was an embedded conversion feature related to the note that would require bifurcation and be classified as a liability. However, based on a third-party valuation,
the amount was determined to be de minimis.
