ITEM 1. BUSINESS

In this Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”), references to the “Company” and to “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to PMV Consumer Acquisition Corp.

We are a shell company formed under the laws of of the State of Delaware on March 18, 2020., ~~We were formed~~ for the purpose of ~~entering~~effecting ~~into~~ a merger, ~~share~~capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business ~~combination~~opportunity with one or more businesses or entities (collectively, a “business opportunity”). Our efforts to identify a prospective business opportunity will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic location, although we are currently focusing our search for a business ~~opportunities~~opportunity in the consumer products industry. We intend to effectuate a business opportunity using cash, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

You should understand that an investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in this section “Risk Factors,” alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. The following is a summary of some of the risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. You should read this summary together with the more detailed description of each risk factor incorporated by reference or contained herein below.

Summary of Risk Factors

●

Our public stockholders are relying on management to locate a suitable business opportunity. We may not be successful in identifying a suitable business opportunity and, even if one is identified, no assurance can be provided that we will successfully negotiate and consummate a transaction.

●

Our executive officers and directors will allocate their time to other businesses, thereby causing conflicts of interest in their determination as to how much time to devote to our affairs. This conflict of interest could have a negative impact on our ability to identify a business opportunity and complete a transaction.

●

Certain of our executive officers and directors are now, and all of them may in the future become, affiliated with entities engaged in business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by us and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.

●

Our limited resources may make our financial condition unattractive to potential business opportunities, which may make it difficult for us to enter into a transaction.

●

We may engage in a business opportunity with one or more businesses or entities that have relationships with entities that may be affiliated with our Sponsor, executive officers and directors, which may raise potential conflicts of interest.

●

We will likely only be able to complete one business opportunity, which will cause us to be solely dependent on a single business which may have a limited number of products or services. This lack of diversification may negatively impact our operations and profitability.

●

Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and changes in the value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.

The risk factors set forth below provide more detailed disclosure of the risks relating to our operations.

We are a recently formed company with no operating history and no revenues, and you have no basis on which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective.

We are a recently formed company with no operating results. Because we lack an operating history, you have no basis upon which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objectives. We have no plans, arrangements or understandings with respect to any business opportunity and may be unable to complete a transaction. If we fail to complete a transaction, we may never generate any operating revenues.

If we elect to take advantage of the controlled company standards, we would be exempt from various corporate governance requirements.

Certain listing rules generally define a “Controlled Company” as any company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, a group or another company. Only holders of the founder shares will have the right to vote on the election of directors. More than 50% of the founder shares are held by our sponsor. Accordingly, we satisfy the definition of being a controlled company. We may in the future elect to take advantage of the controlled company standards, pursuant to which we would be exempt from various corporate governance requirements, such as the requirement to have a majority of independent directors and to have nominating/corporate governance and compensation committees comprised entirely of independent directors.

Because of our limited resources and the significant competition for business opportunities, it may be more difficult for us to complete a transaction and our warrants may expire worthless.

We expect to encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours, including private investors (which may be individuals or investment partnerships), blank check companies and other entities, domestic and international, competing for the types of business opportunities we intend to pursue. Many of these individuals and entities are well-established and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting, directly or indirectly, such business opportunities and/or operating in or providing services to various industries. Many of these competitors possess greater technical, human and other resources or more industry knowledge than we do and our financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. While we believe there are numerous business opportunities we could potentially pursue, our ability to compete for such business opportunities will be limited by our available financial resources. This inherent competitive limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing ~~the acquisition of~~ certain business opportunities.

Holders of Class A common stock (fka Class C common stock) will not be entitled to vote on any election of directors we hold.

Only holders of our founder shares will have the right to vote on the election of directors. Holders of our public shares will not be entitled to vote on the election of directors. Accordingly, you may not have any say in the management of our company.

Holders of Class B common stock will be entitled to ten (10) votes for each such share.

Holders of Class B common stock will be entitled to ten (10) votes for each such share at any annual or special meeting of stockholders or in the case of any written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting and for all purposes. Holders of our public shares will be entitled to one vote for each such share held. Accordingly, holders of founder shares may exert an outsized influence on each matter properly submitted to the stockholders on which holders of the common stock are entitled to vote.

Because we are neither limited to evaluating a business opportunity in a particular industry sector nor have we selected any specific business opportunities with which to pursue a transaction, you are unable to currently ascertain the merits or risks of any particular business opportunity.

Although we initially ~~intend~~intended to focus our search for a business opportunity in the consumer products industry, we are not limited to evaluating a business opportunity in any particular industry sector. As a result, there is no current basis to evaluate the possible merits or risks of any particular business opportunity. To the extent we complete a transaction, we may be affected by numerous risks inherent in the ~~business~~ business opportunity. For example, if we pursue a business opportunity with a financially unstable business or an entity lacking an established record of sales or earnings, we may be affected by the risks inherent in the business and operations of a financially unstable or a development stage entity. Although our officers and directors will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular business opportunity, we cannot assure you that we will properly ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors or that we will have adequate time to complete due diligence. Furthermore, some of these risks may be outside of our control and leave us with no ability to control or reduce the chances that those risks will adversely impact a business opportunity. We also cannot assure you that an investment in our securities will ultimately prove to be more favorable to you than a direct investment, if such opportunity were available, in a business opportunity.

Our success largely depends on the ability of our management team to operate and execute effectively.

Our success largely depends on the ability of our management team to effectively organize and consummate a business opportunity. Our management team is critical to the execution of our strategic direction and implementation of a business opportunity. It is difficult to predict with any certainty that we will be able to replace these individuals with persons of equivalent experience and capabilities should one or more members no longer be able to serve in their current capacity. If we are unable to find adequate replacements or to attract, retain and incentivize senior executives, other key advisors or new qualified personnel, such inability could have a material adverse effect on our ability to effect a business ~~combination~~ opportunity and final results of operations.

Past performance by our management team, our special advisors and their respective affiliates may not be indicative of future performance of an investment in us.

Information regarding performance by, or businesses associated with, our management team, our special advisors and their respective affiliates is presented for informational purposes only. Past performance by them is not a guarantee either (i) of success with respect to any business opportunity we may consummate, or (ii) that we will be able to locate a suitable business opportunity. You should not rely on the historical record of the performance of our management team, our special advisors and their respective affiliates or businesses associated with them as indicative of the future performance of an investment in us or the returns we will, or are likely to, generate going forward.

Any future involvement of our sponsor and its affiliates, members of our management and companies with which they are affiliated in governmental investigations or civil litigation unrelated to our business affairs could materially impact our ability to consummate a business opportunity.

Our sponsor and its affiliates, members of our management team and companies with which they are affiliated may become involved in governmental investigations and civil litigation relating to their business affairs unrelated to our Company in the United States or in other jurisdictions. Such matters, should they arise in the future, risk distracting them from attention to our affairs and may negatively impact our ability to attract suitable business opportunities and may ultimately impede our ability to consummate a transaction.

We may seek business opportunities in any industry our management chooses (which industries may be outside of our management’s areas of expertise).

We may consider a business opportunity in any industry our management chooses. Although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in any particular business opportunity, we cannot assure you that we will adequately ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors. We also cannot assure you that an investment in our securities will not ultimately prove to be less favorable to investors in this offering than a direct investment, if an opportunity were available, in a business opportunity. In the event we elect to pursue a business opportunity outside of the areas of our management’s expertise, our management’s expertise may not be directly applicable to its evaluation or operation, and the information contained in this prospectus regarding the areas of our management’s expertise would not be relevant to an understanding of the business that we elect to pursue. As a result, our management may not be able to adequately ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors.

We may seek business opportunities with a financially unstable business or an entity lacking an established record of revenue, cash flow or earnings, which could subject us to volatile revenues, cash flows or earnings or difficulty in retaining key personnel.

To the extent we effect a transaction with a financially unstable business or an entity lacking an established record of revenues or earnings, we may be affected by numerous risks inherent in the operations of that business opportunity. These risks include volatile revenues or earnings and difficulties in obtaining and retaining key personnel. Although our officers and directors will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular business opportunity, we may not be able to properly ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors and we may not have adequate time to complete due diligence. Furthermore, some of these risks may be outside of our control and leave us with no ability to control or reduce the chances that those risks will adversely impact a business opportunity.

We are not required to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm, or another valuation or appraisal firm that commonly renders fairness opinions, and consequently, you may have no assurance from an independent source that the price we are paying in a transaction is fair to our stockholders from a financial point of view.

Unless we complete a transaction with an affiliated entity, we are not required to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm, or another valuation or appraisal firm that commonly renders fairness opinions, that the price we are paying is fair to our stockholders from a financial point of view. If no opinion is obtained, our stockholders will be relying on the judgment of our board of directors, who will determine fair market value based on standards generally accepted by the financial community.

Resources could be wasted in researching business opportunities that are not completed, which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to identify and effect a business opportunity. If we are unable to complete a transaction, our warrants may expire worthless.

We anticipate that the investigation of each specific business opportunity and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial costs for accountants, attorneys and others. If we decide not to complete a specific business opportunity, the costs incurred up to that point for the proposed transaction likely would not be recoverable. Furthermore, if we reach an agreement relating to a specific business opportunity, we may fail to complete the transaction for any number of reasons, including those beyond our control. Any such event will result in a loss to us of the related costs incurred which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to identify and effect another business opportunity.

We may reincorporate in another jurisdiction and such reincorporation may result in taxes imposed on stockholders.

We may, subject to requisite stockholder approval under the DGCL, reincorporate in another jurisdiction. The transaction may require a stockholder to recognize taxable income in the jurisdiction in which the stockholder is a tax resident or in which its members are resident if it is a tax transparent entity. We do not intend to make any cash distributions to stockholders to pay such taxes. Stockholders may be subject to withholding taxes or other taxes with respect to their ownership of us after the reincorporation.

Our ability to successfully effect a business opportunity and to be successful thereafter will be totally dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel. The loss of key personnel could negatively impact the operations and profitability of a business opportunity.

Prior to the completion of a transaction, our operations will be dependent upon a relatively small group of individuals and, in particular, our executive officers and directors. We believe that our success depends on the continued service of our officers and directors, at least until we have completed a business opportunity. In addition, our executive officers and directors are not required to commit any specified amount of time to our affairs and, accordingly, will have conflicts of interest in allocating their time among various business activities, including identifying potential business opportunities and monitoring the related due diligence. We do not have an employment agreement with, or key-man insurance on the life of, any of our directors or executive officers. The unexpected loss of the services of one or more of our directors or executive officers could have a detrimental effect on us.

The role of key personnel in a business opportunity, however, cannot presently be ascertained. Although some key personnel may remain in senior management or advisory positions following a transaction, it is equally likely that some or all may be replaced. While we intend to closely scrutinize any individuals we engage in relation to a particular business opportunity, we cannot assure you that our assessment of these individuals will prove to be correct. These individuals may be unfamiliar with the requirements of operating a company regulated by the SEC, which could cause us to have to expend time and resources helping them become familiar with such requirements. In addition, certain officers and directors may resign upon completion of a transaction. The departure of key personnel could negatively impact our operations and profitability. The role of key personnel cannot be ascertained at this time. Although we contemplate that certain members of the management team will remain post-transaction, it is possible that members of management will not wish to remain. The loss of key personnel could negatively impact the operations and profitability of our post-transaction business.

Our key personnel may negotiate employment or consulting agreements in connection with a particular business opportunity, and a particular business opportunity may be conditioned on the retention or resignation of such key personnel. These agreements may provide for them to receive compensation following a transaction and, as a result, may cause them to have conflicts of interest in determining whether a particular business opportunity is the most advantageous.

Our key personnel may be able to remain with our company post-transaction only if they are able to negotiate employment or consulting agreements. Such negotiations would take place simultaneously with the negotiation of the transaction and could provide for such individuals to receive compensation in the form of cash payments and/or our securities for services they would render to us with respect to such business opportunity. Such negotiations also could make such key personnel’s retention or resignation a condition to a transaction. The personal and financial interests of such individuals may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a business opportunity, subject to their fiduciary duties under Delaware law.

We may have a limited ability to assess a prospective business opportunity and, as a result, may identify and effect a business opportunity whose management may not have the skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company, which could, in turn, negatively impact the value of our stockholder’s investment in us.

When evaluating the desirability of effecting a business opportunity, our ability to assess management may be limited due to a lack of time, resources or information. Our assessment of the capabilities of the management team, therefore, may prove to be incorrect and such management may lack the skills, qualifications or abilities we suspected. Should management not possess the skills, qualifications or abilities necessary to manage a public company, the operations and profitability of the post-transaction business may be negatively impacted.

Our executive officers and directors are not required to, and will not, commit their full time to our affairs, which may result in a conflict of interest in allocating their time between our operations and our search for a business opportunity and their other businesses. We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of a transaction. Each of our executive officers is engaged in several other business endeavors for which they may be entitled to substantial compensation, and our executive officers are not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours per week to our affairs. Our independent directors also serve as officers and board members for other entities. If our executive officers’ and directors’ other business affairs require them to devote substantial amounts of time to such affairs in excess of their current commitment levels, it could limit their ability to devote time to our affairs which may have a negative impact on our ability to effect a business opportunity.

Our officers and directors presently have fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.

We intend to engage in the business of identifying and effecting one or more business opportunities. Each of our officers and directors presently has, and any of them in the future may have, additional fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present business opportunities to such entity. Accordingly, our officers and directors may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. These conflicts may not be resolved in our favor and a potential business opportunity may be presented to another entity prior to its presentation to us, subject to their fiduciary duties under Delaware law.

Our officers and directors may in the future become affiliated with entities engaged in business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by us, and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.

We intend to engage in the business of identifying and effecting one or more business opportunities. Each of our officers and directors presently has, and any of them in the future may have, additional fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present business opportunities to such entities. Accordingly, they may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. These conflicts may not be resolved in our favor and a potential target business may be presented to other entities prior to its presentation to us, subject to our officers’ and directors’ fiduciary duties under Delaware law.

In addition, our sponsor and our officers and directors may sponsor or form other companies similar to ours or may pursue other business or investment ventures during the period in which we are seeking business opportunities. Any such companies, businesses or investments may present additional conflicts of interest in pursuing business opportunities. However, we do not believe that any such potential conflicts would materially affect our ability to effect a business opportunity.

Our executive officers, directors, security holders and their respective affiliates may have competitive pecuniary interests that conflict with our interests.

We have not adopted a policy that expressly prohibits our directors, executive officers, security holders or affiliates from having a direct or indirect pecuniary or financial interest in any investment to be acquired or disposed of by us or in any transaction to which we are a party or have an interest. In fact, we may effect a business opportunity with an entity that is affiliated with our sponsor, our directors or executive officers, although we do not intend to do so. Nor do we have a policy that expressly prohibits any such persons from engaging for their own account in business activities of the types conducted by us. Accordingly, such persons or entities may have a conflict between their interests and ours.

The personal and financial interests of our directors and officers may influence their motivation in timely identifying and selecting a business opportunity and completing a transaction. Consequently, our directors’ and officers’ discretion in identifying and selecting a suitable business opportunity may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether the terms, conditions and timing of a particular business opportunity are appropriate and in our stockholder’s best interest. If this were the case, it would be a breach of their fiduciary duties to us as a matter of Delaware law and we or our stockholders might have a claim against such individuals for infringing on our stockholder’s rights. However, we might not ultimately be successful in any claim we may make against them for such reason.

We may effect a business opportunity with one or more entities that have relationships with entities that may be affiliated with our sponsor, executive officers, directors or existing holders, which may raise potential conflicts of interest.

In light of the involvement of our sponsor, executive officers and directors with other entities, we may decide to effect one or more business opportunities that are affiliated with our sponsor, executive officers, directors or existing holders. Our directors also serve as officers and board members for other entities. Such entities may compete with us for business opportunities. Our sponsor, officers and directors are not currently aware of any specific business opportunities involving any entities with which they are affiliated, and there have been no substantive discussions concerning a business opportunity with any such entity or entities. Although we will not be specifically focusing on, or targeting, any transaction with any affiliated entities, we would pursue such a transaction if we determined that such affiliated entity met our criteria for a business opportunity, and such transaction was approved by a majority of our independent and disinterested directors. Despite our agreement to obtain an opinion regarding the fairness to our company from a financial point of view of a business combination with one or more businesses affiliated with our sponsor, executive officers, directors or existing holders, potential conflicts of interest still may exist and, as a result, the terms of the business opportunity may not be as advantageous to our public stockholders as they would be absent any conflicts of interest.

We may issue notes or other debt securities, or otherwise incur substantial debt, to effect a business opportunity, which may adversely affect our leverage and financial condition and thus negatively impact the value of our stockholder’s investment in us.

Although we have no current commitments to issue any notes or other debt securities, or to otherwise incur outstanding debt, we may choose to incur substantial debt to effect a business opportunity. The incurrence of debt could have a variety of negative effects, including:

➤

default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;

➤ acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant; ➤ our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand; ➤ our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is outstanding; ➤ our inability to pay dividends on our Class A common stock; ➤ using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our Class A common stock if declared, expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes; ➤ limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate; ➤ increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; and ➤ limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our strategy and other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.

As we have not yet selected any prospective business opportunity, we cannot ascertain the capital requirements for any particular transaction; however, it is likely that we will require additional financing to effect a business opportunity.

We cannot predict whether investors will find our securities less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a ~~result~~manner ofthat ~~our~~you ~~reliance~~do onnot these exemptions, the trading prices of our securities may be lower than they otherwise would be, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the trading prices of our securities may be more volatilesupport.

We cannot be certain that a court will decide that this provision is either applicable or enforceable, and if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.8

We cannot assure you that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective in the future or that a material weakness will not be discovered with respect to a prior period for which we had previously believed that our internal control over financial reporting was effective. Matters impacting our internal control over financial reporting may cause us to be unable to report our financial information on a timely basis, or may cause us to restate previously issued financial information, and thereby subject us to adverse regulatory consequences, including sanctions or investigations by the SEC, or violations of applicable stock exchange listing rules. There could also be a negative reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of investor confidence in us and the reliability of our financial statements. Confidence in the reliability of our financial statements is also likely to suffer if we report a material weakness in the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

ASC 815-40 provides for the re-measurement of the fair value of such derivatives at each balance sheet date, with a resulting non-cash gain or loss related to the change in the fair value being recognized in earnings in the statement of operations. As a result of the recurring fair value measurement, our financial statements and results of operations may fluctuate quarterly based on factors which are outside of our control.

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.12

13Any of the foregoing could have an adverse impact on our operations. However, our efforts in identifying prospective businesses opportunities will not be limited to consumer and consumer-related products and services industries. Accordingly, if we effect a business opportunity in another industry, some or all of these risks will likely not affect us and we will be subject to other risks attendant with the specific industry in which we operate, none of which can be presently ascertained.

Failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could have a material adverse effect on our business.

As a public company, we are required to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Internal control over financial reporting is complex and may be revised over time to adapt to changes in our business, or changes in applicable accounting rules. We cannot assure you that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective in the future or that a material weakness will not be discovered with respect to a prior period for which we had previously believed that our internal control over financial reporting was effective. Matters impacting our internal control over financial reporting may cause us to be unable to report our financial information on a timely basis, or may cause us to restate previously issued financial information, and thereby subject us to adverse regulatory consequences, including sanctions or investigations by the SEC, or violations of applicable stock exchange listing rules. There could also be a negative reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of investor confidence in us and the reliability of our financial statements. Confidence in the reliability of our financial statements is also likely to suffer if we report a material weakness in the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This could materially adversely affect us by, for example, leading to a decline in the price of our shares/warrants and impairing our ability to attract a business opportunity and/or consummate a transaction.

Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and changes in the value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.

On April 12, 2021, the SEC Staff expressed its view that certain terms and conditions common to SPAC warrants may require the warrants to be classified as liabilities instead of equity on the SPAC’s balance sheet. As a result of the SEC Staff Statement, we re-evaluated the accounting treatment of our warrants, and determined to classify the warrants as derivative liabilities measured at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in our statement of operations for each reporting period.

As a result, included on our balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and contained elsewhere in this report are derivative liabilities related to embedded features contained within our warrants. ASC 815-40 provides for the re-measurement of the fair value of such derivatives at each balance sheet date, with a resulting non-cash gain or loss related to the change in the fair value being recognized in earnings in the statement of operations. As a result of the recurring fair value measurement, our financial statements and results of operations may fluctuate quarterly based on factors which are outside of our control. Due to the recurring fair value measurement, we expect that we will recognize non-cash gains or losses on our warrants each reporting period and that the amount of such gains or losses could be material.

Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business, including our ability to identify a potential business opportunity and/ or negotiate and complete a transaction, and results of operations.

We are subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments. In particular, we will be required to comply with certain SEC and other legal requirements. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations 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, investments and results of operations. In addition, 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 identify a potential business opportunity and/or negotiate and complete a transaction, and results of operations.

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for us to complete a transaction or conduct other business activities.

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, our activities may be restricted, including:

●

restrictions on the nature of our investments; and

●

restrictions on the issuance of securities, each of which may make it difficult for us to identify a potential business opportunity and/or negotiate and complete a transaction.

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

●

registration as an investment company;

●

adoption of a specific form of corporate structure; and

●

independence, reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy and disclosure requirements and other rules and regulations.

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 in securities for purposes of Section (3)(a)(1)(A) thereof and that our activities do not include investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading “investment securities” constituting more than 40% of our total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis for purposes of Section (3)(a)(1)(C) thereof. Our business is to identify a potential business opportunity and complete a transaction.

However, we are aware of litigation against certain entities asserting that, notwithstanding the foregoing, those entities should be considered investment companies and the SEC has suggested that the extended period of investment of assets by similar such entities raise questions about their status as investment companies under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act.

A new 1% U.S. federal excise tax could be imposed on the Company in connection with redemptions.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”) was signed into federal law. The IRA provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions as defined in the Internal Revenue Code) of stock by publicly traded U.S. corporations and certain U.S. subsidiaries of publicly traded non-U.S. corporations (each, a “covered corporation”). Because our securities are publicly trading in the over-the-counter market, we may be deemed a “covered corporation” for this purpose. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of Treasury has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out, and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. The IRA applies only to repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022.

Therefore, any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022 may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent we would be subject to the excise tax would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and, (ii) the nature and amount of the equity, and (iii) the content of regulations and other guidance from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company, and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to identify a potential business opportunity and/or complete a transaction.

We filed a Form 25 with the SEC which became effective October 21, 2022, to voluntarily delist our common stock and public warrants from the NYSE and our securities are now available for limited quotation in the over-the-counter market and it is expected that any trading will be limited and sporadic.

Our delisting from the NYSE took effect on October 21, 2022; initially our shares of common stock and public warrants were trading on the NYSE and thereafter became eligible for quotation on the Pink tier of OTC Markets Group, if market makers commit to making a market in the securities. We can provide no assurance that trading in our securities will continue on the OTC Markets Group or otherwise. As a result of the delisting, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

	●	a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

	●	reduced liquidity with respect to our securities;

●

a determination that our shares of common stock are “penny stock”, which will require brokers trading in our shares of common stock to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our shares of common stock;

●

a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for our company; and

●

a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

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.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY

The Company utilizes office space and IT infrastructure that are managed by staff who are employees of an affiliated member of our Sponsor. This affiliated member of our Sponsor has developed and implemented a cybersecurity risk management program intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of critical systems and information.

Accordingly, the Company relies on the cybersecurity risk management program of the affiliated member of our Sponsor and has determined that the program is aligned with the Company’s business strategy. It shares common methodologies, reporting channels and governance processes that apply to other areas of enterprise risk, including legal, compliance, strategic, operational, and financial risk. Key elements of the cybersecurity risk management program include:

●

risk assessments designed to help identify material cybersecurity risks to our critical systems, information, products, services, and our broader enterprise information technology environment;

●

a security team principally responsible for managing our cybersecurity risk assessment processes, our security controls, and our response to cybersecurity incidents;

●

the use of external service providers, where appropriate, to assess, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security controls;

●

training and risk awareness programs for team members that include periodic and ongoing assessments to drive adoption and awareness of cybersecurity processes and controls;

●

a cybersecurity incident response plan that includes procedures for responding to cybersecurity incidents; and

●

a third-party risk management process for service providers, suppliers, and vendors.

In the last three years, the Company has not experienced any material cybersecurity incidents, and expenses incurred from cybersecurity incidents were immaterial.

The operations of the Company are dependent on technology information and communications systems. A failure of any such system, or a security breach or cyberattack related thereto, could significantly disrupt the Company’s operations. The service providers of the Company are also subject to cybersecurity threats. If the Company and/or any service provider of the Company fails to adopt, implement or adhere to adequate cybersecurity measures, or in the event of a breach of any network, information relating to the Company or the Company’s operations, as well as personal information relating to the Company’s potential partners, may be lost, damaged or corrupted, or improperly accessed, used or disclosed.

Any system failure, security breach or cyberattack on the Company and/or any service provider of the Company could cause the Company to suffer financial loss, disruption to its business, increased operating costs, liability to third parties, regulatory intervention and reputational damage, among other things, any one or all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Cybersecurity Governance

Our Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing cybersecurity threats, among other things. The Chief Technology Officer of the affiliated member of our Sponsor is available to provide our senior management and our Board of Directors reports on our cybersecurity risks and any material cybersecurity incidents.

The cybersecurity risk management team of the affiliated member of our Sponsor, in conjunction with its various information technology, internal audit, legal and compliance personnel, has primary responsibility for the overall cybersecurity risk management program.

The Chief Technology Officer of the affiliated member of our Sponsor, who has over 20 years of experience in the cybersecurity space and advanced training in the field of cybersecurity and technology, manages a team of cybersecurity professionals that has primary responsibility for any internal cybersecurity personnel and retained external cybersecurity consultants.

The information technology team also monitors the prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of cybersecurity risks and incidents through various means, which may include briefings with internal personnel, threat intelligence and other information obtained from governmental, public or private sources, including external consultants, and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in the information technology environment

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

We currently maintain our principal executive offices at 249 Royal Palm Way, Suite 503, Palm Beach, FL 33480. The cost for this space is included in the $10,000 per-month fee PMV Consumer Delaware Management Partners LLC, an affiliate of our Sponsor, charges us for general and administrative services.

Overview

We are a shell company formed under the laws of of the State of Delaware on March 18, 2020 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business opportunity with one or more businesses or entities. Our efforts to identify a prospective business opportunity will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic location, although we are currently focusing our search for a ~~business~~ business opportunity in the consumer products industry. We intend to effectuate a business opportunity using cash, our capital stock, debt or a a combination of cash, stock and debt.

The issuance of additional shares of our stock in a transaction:

●

may significantly reduce the equity interest of our stockholders;

●

may subordinate the rights of holders of shares of common stock if we issue shares of preferred stock with rights senior to those afforded to our shares of common stock;

●

will likely cause a change in control if a substantial number of our shares of common stock are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and most likely will also result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors; and

●

may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our securities.

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

●

default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after a transaction are insufficient to pay our debt obligations;

●

acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we have made all principal and interest payments when due if the debt security contains covenants that required the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves and we breach any such covenant without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;

●

our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand; and

●

our inability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain additional financing while such security is outstanding.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities through December 31, ~~2023~~2024, were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the IPO, described below, and searching for a business opportunity for which to complete transaction. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a transaction. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held. 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 year ended December 31, 2024, we had a net loss of $156,380, which consists of interest income of $55,916, offset by general and administrative expenses of $176,864, franchise tax expense of $5,286 and provision for income taxes of $30,146.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, we had a net loss of $108,141, which consists of the change in the fair value of derivative warrant liabilities of $146,020, interest income of $51,915, offset by general and administrative expenses of $256,691, franchise tax expense of $13,200 and provision for income taxes of $36,185.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, we had a net income of $8,622,353, which consists of the change in the fair value of derivative warrant liabilities of $9,388,845, forgiveness of debt of $309,312, loss on Class B shares transferred into Trust of $990,000 and interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account of $1,161,232, offset by general and administrative expenses of $1,031,318, franchise tax expense of $30,526 and provision for income taxes of $185,192.19

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On September 24, 2020, we consummated the IPO of 17,500,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $175,000,000. Following the IPO, a total of $175,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. As of December 31, 2022, the Trust Account was fully redeemed. Prior to the full redemption of the Trust Account, interest income on the balance in the Trust Account had been used by us to pay taxes. Through December 31, 2022, $723,496 of interest earned was withdrawn to pay taxes for the Company and $175,546,898 of the Trust Account was redeemed in connection with the redemptions of the Class A convertible IPO shares.

To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete a transaction, the remaining cash will be used as working capital to finance operations, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

As of December 31, ~~2023~~2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,~~072~~113,~~630~~786. We intend to use these funds primarily to identify and evaluate potential business opportunities, perform ~~business~~ business due diligence on prospective business opportunities, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations associated with prospective business opportunities, review corporate documents and material agreements related to business opportunities, and structure, ~~negotiate~~ negotiate and complete a transaction.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, cash provided by operating activities was $41,156. Net loss of $156,380 was affected by a net increase of changes in operating assets and liabilities of $197,536.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $76,527. Net loss of $108,141 was affected by a change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities of $146,020, and a net increase of changes in operating assets and liabilities of $177,634.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $1,129,259. Net income of $8,622,353 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,161,232, a change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities of $9,388,845, loss on Class B shares transferred into Trust of $990,000, forgiveness of debt of $309,312 and net increase of changes in operating assets and liabilities of $117,777.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a business opportunity, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a transaction, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a transaction does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital to repay such loaned amounts. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants identical to the Private Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a business opportunity, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a transaction are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to a transaction. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing to complete a transaction, in which case we may issue additional equity securities or incur debt in connection with such transaction. In addition, following a transaction, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, ~~2023~~2024.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. We began incurring these fees on September 24, 2020 and will continue to incur these fees monthly for the foreseeable future.

1720

On August 22, 2022, UBS agreed to waive its entitlement to the deferred underwriting commission of $4,593,750 to which it became entitled upon completion of the Company’s Initial Public Offering, subject to the consummation of a transaction. Thereafter, on December 27, 2022, in accordance with the provisions of its charter, the Company announced the completion of the redemption of its outstanding shares of Class A convertible common stock subject to redemption (the “Class A IPO Shares”), which resulted in the forfeiture of the remaining $1,531,250 of deferred underwriting fees. Following the completion of the redemption of the Class A IPO Shares, the IPO Trust Account was terminated in complete liquidation of the assets held in trust, and the relevant provisions of the Company’s charter, including with respect to any business combination and the IPO Trust Account, were extinguished and are of no further legal force and effect. As a result, the Company derecognized the entire deferred ~~underwriting~~ underwriting fee payable of $6,125,000 and recorded $5,815,688 of the forgiveness of the deferred underwriting fee allocated to Public Shares to accumulated earnings (deficit) and the remaining balance of $309,312 was as a gain from extinguishment of liability allocated to warrant liabilities. As of December 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023, the deferred underwriting fee payable is $0.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of the 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 identified the following critical accounting policies and estimates:

Warrant Liability

We account for the warrants issued in connection with our IPO in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815 under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, we classify the warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the warrants to fair value at each reporting period. The Company’s accounting policy and estimate surrounding the warrant liability is deemed to be critical since it is an equity linked instrument, and the accounting pronouncement that determines the initial classification at ~~issuance~~ issuance is considered a complex topic. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any ~~change~~ change in fair value is recognized in our statements of operations. Any changes in the value could have a significant impact on the results of of operations.

1821

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Through December 31, ~~2023~~2024, our efforts were limited to organizational activities, activities relating to our initial public offering and, since the initial public offering, the search for a business opportunity for which to consummate a transaction. We have engaged in limited operations and have not generated any revenues. We have not engaged in any hedging activities since our inception on March 18, 2020. We do not expect to engage in any hedging activities with respect to the market risk to which we are exposed.

As of December 31, ~~2023~~2024, we were not subject to to any market or interest rate risk. The Company’s cash was invested in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there was no associated material ~~exposure~~ exposure to interest rate risk.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Co-Principal Executive Officers and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of December 31, ~~2023~~2024, as required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our principal executive officers and principal financial and accounting officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon their evaluation, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.

Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

As required by SEC rules and regulations implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company,

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

1922

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect errors or misstatements in our financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at December 31, ~~2023~~2024. In making these assessments, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013). Based on our assessments and those criteria, management determined that we did maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, ~~2023~~2024.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to our status as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act.

Remediation of a Material weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As described in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, we identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting related to the Company’s interpretation and accounting for the extinguishment of a significant contingent obligation in 2022.

During 2023 we remediated this material weakness by enhancing and improving the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, including (i) on-boarded additional qualified personnel with the requisite experience and training to supplement existing accounting professionals; (ii) expanded and improved the review process for complex transactions and related accounting standards; and (iii) enhanced access to accounting literature.

Based upon the successful execution of the remediation plan above and the testing and evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we have concluded that the material weakness referred to above has been remediated and no longer existed as of December 31, 2023.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, ~~other than the remediation described above,~~ during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Executive Compensation

No executive officer has received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. PMV Consumer Delaware Management Partners LLC, an affiliate of our Sponsor, is due an aggregate fee of $10,000 per month for providing us with office space and certain office and secretarial services. However, this arrangement is solely for our benefit and is not intended to provide our officers or directors compensation in lieu of a salary.

Other than the $10,000 per month administrative fee, the payment of consulting, success or finder fees to our Sponsor, officers, directors, initial stockholders or their affiliates in connection with the consummation of a transaction and the repayment of loans that may be made by our Sponsor to us, no compensation or fees of any kind, including finder’s, consulting fees and other similar fees, will be paid to our Sponsor, initial stockholders, special advisors, members of our management team or their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection with the consummation of a transaction (regardless of the type of transaction that it is). However, they will receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with activities on our behalf, such as identifying potential business opportunities, performing business due diligence on suitable business opportunities and transactions as well as traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations related to prospective business opportunities to examine their operations. There is no limit on the amount of out-of-pocket expenses reimbursable by us.

After the completion of a transaction, members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the company with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to stockholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation materials furnished to our stockholders. However, the amount of such compensation may not be known at the time of the stockholder meeting, if any, held to consider a transaction, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business, if any, to determine executive and director compensation. In this event, such compensation will be publicly disclosed at the time of its determination in a Current Report on Form 8-K or a periodic report, as required by the SEC.

Since our formation, we have not granted any stock options or stock appreciation rights or any other awards under long-term incentive plans to any of our executive officers or directors.

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock by:

●

each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding shares of common stock;

●

each of our officers and directors; and

●

all of our officers and directors as a group.

Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock beneficially owned by them. The following table does not reflect record or beneficial ownership of the warrants included in the units offered in the IPO or the Private Warrants as they are not exercisable within 60 days of the date hereof.

PMV Consumer Delaware Management Partners, LLC		100,000	⁽²⁾		100	%
All directors and executive officers as a group (nine individuals)		100,000	⁽³⁾		100	%

PMVC Delaware Management Partners, LLC is managed by a management board consisting of Marc Gabelli, Robert LaPenta, Jr., Nathan G. Miller, P. Kasper Jakobsen and Gabelli Investment Partners International LLC, with authority to approve actions of our Sponsor. Each management board member has one vote, and the approval of three of the five board members is required for approval of an action of the Sponsor. Under the so-called “rule of three”, if voting and dispositive decisions regarding an entity’s securities are made by three or more individuals, and a voting or dispositive decision requires the approval of a majority of those individuals, then none of the individuals is deemed a beneficial owner of the entity’s securities. Based on the foregoing, no individual management board member exercises voting or dipositive control over any of the securities held by our Sponsor, even those in which he directly owns a pecuniary interest. Accordingly, none of them will be deemed to have or share beneficial ownership of such securities.
(3)	Certain of our officers and directors, including all of our executive officers, and entities associated with them, hold equity interests in our Sponsor.

Equity Compensation Plans

As of December 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023, we had no compensation plans (including individual compensation arrangements) under which equity securities of the registrant were authorized for issuance.

Audit-related services consist of fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to performance of the audit or review of of our financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees.” These services include attest services that are not ~~required~~ required by statute or regulation and consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards. We did not pay Withum for audit-related fees for the year ended December 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023.

Tax Fees. As of December 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023, we paid Withum $76,~~360~~240 and $57,~~080~~360, respectively, for tax planning and tax advice.

All Other Fees. We did not pay Withum for other services for the year ended December 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023.

Pre-Approval Policy

Our audit committee was formed in connection with the effectiveness of our registration statement for our initial public offering. As a result, the audit committee did not pre-approve all of the foregoing services, although any services rendered prior to the formation of our audit committee were approved by our board of directors. Since the formation of our audit committee, and on a going-forward basis, the audit committee has and will pre-approve all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed for us by our auditors, including the fees and terms thereof (subject to the de minimis exceptions for non-audit services described in the Exchange Act, which are approved by the audit committee prior to the completion of the audit).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholder and the Board of Directors of

PMV Consumer Acquisition Corp:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of PMV Consumer Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) as of December 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023, the related statements of operations, changes in stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ WithumSmith+Brown, PC

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

PMV CONSUMER ACQUISITION CORP. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, ~~2023~~2024

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

PMV Consumer Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on March 18, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business ~~combination~~opportunity with one or more businesses or entities.

Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of identifying a potential business opportunity and consummating a transaction, the Company intends to focus its search on business opportunities in the consumer products industry. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of December 31, ~~2023~~2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through December 31, ~~2023~~2024, relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”) and simultaneous private sale of warrants (“Private Warrants”), which is described below, and identifying a potential business opportunity. It is unlikely that the Company will generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a transaction, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income.

The Company initially had until September 21, 2022 to complete a business combination (the “Combination Period”). On September 21, 2022, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Meeting”). The purpose of the Meeting was to approve the following amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation; to extend the date by which the Company had to consummate a business combination for one year, from September 21, 2022 to September 21, 2023, conditioned on the deposit of 200,000 shares of Class B convertible common stock (to be converted into Class C common stock) into the Company’s Trust ~~account~~Account (the “Trust Account”), to increase authorized stock from 86,000,000 to 120,000,000 shares, of which 100,000,000 shall be shares of common stock, consisting of 45,000,000 shares of Class A ~~common~~convertible common stock, 10,000,000 shares of Class B convertible common stock, 25,000,000 shares of Class C common stock and 20,000,000 shares of Special common stock, and 20,000,000 shall be shares of preferred stock; to permit the Company’s board of directors to create Special common stock in one or more series and to fix for each series the voting powers, designations, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof; to provide for (i) the right of a holder of Class A convertible common stock to convert into Class C common stock on a one-for-one basis, (ii) the right of the Company to redeem Class A convertible common stock in exchange for a pro rata share of the net cash (and not stock) held in the Company’s Trust Account, unless the holder elects to receive Class C common stock issued on a one-for-one basis, plus a pro rata share of any stock held in the Trust Account, and (iii) upon such redemption the extinguishment of the legal force and effect of the business combination and Trust Account provisions contained in paragraphs A through I of Article Sixth of the charter; to (i) eliminate the Class B convertible common stock anti-dilution provisions that require adjustment to maintain the specified 20% class ownership, and (ii) provide for the right of a holder of Class B convertible common stock to convert into Class C common stock on a one-for-one basis. All such amendments were approved at the Meeting. On September 27, 2022, the Sponsor (the “Sponsor”) contributed to the Company for purposes of making a deposit into the Company’s Trust Account of an aggregate of 200,000 shares of Class B convertible common stock (to be converted into Class C common stock) to extend the date by which the Company had to consummate a business combination for one year, from September 21, 2022 to September 21, 2023.

At the Meeting, in connection with the extension, stockholders holding 15,453,391 shares of Class A convertible common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, $154,874,303 (approximately $10.02 per share), which included $340,393 of interest earned on the Trust Account which was not previously used to pay the Company’s tax obligation, was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders. Following these redemptions, the Company had 2,046,609 shares of Class A convertible common stock outstanding and the aggregate amount remaining in the Trust Account at the time was $20,511,170.

On October 17, 2022, the Sponsor elected to convert 3,000,000 shares of its Class B convertible common stock into 3,000,000 shares of Class A convertible common stock. Following the conversion, the Sponsor owned 1,175,000 shares of Class B convertible common stock, and the Company had 5,046,609 shares of Class A convertible common stock outstanding.

On October 24, 2022, the Company’s Class A convertible common stock, redeemable warrants and units (consisting of one share of Class A convertible common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant) (collectively, the “Securities”) commenced trading on the OTC Pink; the Company previously announced its intention to voluntarily delist the Securities from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), and that the last day of trading on the NYSE would be October 21, 2022.

On December 14, 2022, any unseparated units of the Company (consisting of one share of Class A convertible common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant) terminated trading and were subsequently separated.

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (CONT.)

On December 27, 2022, the Company announced the completion of the redemption of its outstanding shares of Class A convertible common stock subject to redemption, totaling 2,046,609 shares issued in its IPO (the “Class A IPO Shares”), in accordance with the provision of its charter. Holders representing a total of 2,042,409 shares of the Class A IPO Shares called for redemption elected to receive a pro rata share of the cash, including the interest earned thereon net of interest that may be used by the Company to pay its taxes payable (and not any stock), held in the Company’s Trust Account. The $10.10 per share pro rata amount was calculated by dividing the number of Class A IPO Shares redeemed from each such holder by the total number of outstanding Class A IPO Shares. Holders representing a total of 4,200 shares of the Class A IPO Shares called for redemption elected to receive Class C common stock issued on a one-for-one basis for the number of Class A IPO Shares redeemed from each such holder, plus each such holder’s pro rata share of the 200,000 shares of Class C common stock held in the IPO Trust Account. The pro rata share of the Class C common stock held in the Trust Account was calculated by dividing the number of Class A IPO Shares redeemed from each such holder by the total number of Class A IPO Shares redeemed from all holders of Class A IPO Shares that elected to receive stock. The amount of cash that would otherwise have been paid to holders who redeemed for cash (totaling approximately $42,424) was released from the Trust Account and transferred to the Company. The Trust Account was terminated following the release of the cash and stock to holders of Class A IPO Shares in complete liquidation of the assets held in trust. The 3,000,000 shares of Class A convertible common stock owned by the Sponsor, were not redeemed and were expressly excluded from participating in, and were not otherwise entitled to, any of the cash and stock held in the Trust Account. The Class A IPO Shares redeemed are no longer deemed to be outstanding and all rights of the holders thereof as stockholders of the Company with respect to the Class A IPO Shares so redeemed have ceased. The Class C common stock received by holders who elected to receive stock has not been listed on a securities exchange. Following the redemption, the Company has outstanding 3,000,000 shares of Class A convertible common stock, 1,175,000 shares of Class B convertible common stock, 204,200 shares of Class C common stock, 8,750,000 public warrants and 6,150,000 private placement warrants, as well as approximately $1,149,157 of cash on hand available for working capital purposes.

On February 27, 2023, the Sponsor purchased the 204,200 shares of Class C common stock from the holder thereof, which were comprised of (i) 4,200 shares of Class C common stock, which were issued on a one-for-one basis for the number of Class A convertible common stock of the Company previously redeemed from the holder (as described above), and (ii) 200,000 shares of Class C common stock, which represents the holder’s pro rata share of the Class C common stock that were held in the Trust Account (as described above), for an aggregate purchase price of $42,000.

On September 29, 2023, the Sponsor elected to to voluntarily convert all of its shares of Class A ~~Common~~convertible ~~Stock~~common stock into shares of Class C ~~Common~~common ~~Stock~~stock (the “Class C Conversion”). Following this conversion, which occurred on November 1, 2024, the Sponsor owned 1,175,000 shares of Class B ~~Common~~ ~~Stock~~convertible common stock and 3,204,200 shares of Class C Common Stock.

In light of the Class C Conversion, and in order to simplify and better reflect the purpose, capital structure, governance and organizational policies and procedures of the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) recommended, and the stockholders approved on September 29, 2023, various amendments to the Charter, as well as a reverse stock split of all outstanding shares of Class B ~~Common~~convertible ~~Stock~~common stock and Class C common ~~Common~~stock ~~Stock~~ at a ratio of 43.792-to-1 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The purpose of the Reverse Stock Split was to decrease the total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding and increase the liquidity and market price of such shares to approximately $10.00 per share. The other amendments to the Charter were as follows: (i) the elimination of any and all authorized shares of Class A ~~Common~~convertible ~~Stock~~common stock, the renaming of the Class C ~~Common~~common ~~Stock~~stock to Class A ~~Common~~common Stock (the “Reclassification”), and the elimination of any and all authorized shares of Special ~~Common~~common ~~Stock~~stock, (ii) the modification of the rights of the Class B ~~Common~~convertible common ~~Stock~~stock such that (a) the provisions permitting conversion into shares of Class C ~~Common~~common ~~Stock~~stock were deleted and (b) each holder of record shall be entitled to ten (10) votes for each share of Class B ~~Common~~convertible ~~Stock~~common stock held, (iii) the deletion of certain provisions of Article SIXTH of the Charter, including with respect to any references to a business combination and/or the Company’s IPO Trust Account, as such provisions were previously extinguished in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Charter and were therefore of no further legal force and effect, and (iv) the deletion of certain provisions of Article SIXTH of the Charter, including the requirement that the Board be divided into staggered classes for election. On November 2, 2023, the Company filed a Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, dated November 1, 2023, with the State of Delaware.

Also, the Board recommended, and the stockholders approved on September 29, 2023, an amendment to the Bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”) to provide that, subject to applicable law, any action that is required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Company at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be effected by written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting. On November 2, 2023, the Company filed the Amended and Restated Bylaws with the State of Delaware.

On March 12, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), the Reverse Stock Split was declared effective. As a result of the Reclassification and the Reverse Stock Split, approximately 26,831 shares of Class B ~~Common~~convertible ~~Stock~~common stock are in issue and outstanding and approximately 73,169 shares of Class A ~~Common~~common ~~Stock~~stock are in issue and outstanding as of the Effective Date. Accordingly, earnings per share reported for prior periods in the financial statements have been restated to reflect the retroactive effect of the reverse stock split.

Following the Effective Date, and consistent with the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement, the terms of the Company’s public and private warrants are proportionately adjusted in the same ratio as the reduction in the number of shares of outstanding Common Stock, except any fractional shares resulting from such adjustment are rounded up or down, as the case may be, to the nearest whole share. Correspondingly, the per share exercise price of such warrants is increased in direct proportion to the Reverse Stock Split ratio such that the aggregate dollar amount payable for the purchase of the shares subject to such securities remains unchanged; therefore, the 8,750,000 public warrants are exercisable into approximately 199,808 shares of Class A Common Stock and the 6,150,000 private placement warrants are exercisable into approximately 140,437 shares of Class A Common Stock, each at a price of approximately $503.61 per share. In furtherance of any prospective business opportunities, the Company may in the future seek to pursue a variety of capital raising initiatives.

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (CONT.)

On April 29, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company recommended, and the Company’s sole shareholder approved, an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) to (i) reduce the number of authorized shares of Class A common stock from 25,000,000 shares to 570,000 shares, (ii) reduce the number of authorized shares of Class B common stock from 10,000,000 shares to 230,000 shares, and (iii) reduce the number of authorized shares of preferred stock from 20,000,000 shares to 460,000 shares. The Company filed the Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on April 30, 2024.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standards at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At December 31, 2022, the Trust Account was fully liquidated. Prior to liquidation the Trust Account had been held in money market funds which primarily invested in U.S. Treasury Securities.

PMV CONSUMER ACQUISITION CORP. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, ~~2023~~2024

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company had classified all of the shares of Class A IPO common stock as temporary equity. Immediately upon the closing of the Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares of Class A IPO common stock resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit. As a result of redemptions in September and December 2022, the Class A IPO Shares are no longer deemed to be outstanding and all rights of the holders thereof as stockholders of the Company with respect to the Class A IPO Shares so redeemed have ceased.

Derivative Warrant Liabilities

The Company accounts 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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) 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 the Company’s own 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 quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements’ carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

Net ~~Income (~~Loss) ~~Per~~per Common Share

Net ~~income (~~loss) per common share is computed by dividing net ~~income (~~loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The Company has not considered the effect of warrants to purchase 340,245 shares of Class A common stock, since the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and average market price of the Company’s Class A common stock for the years ended December 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023, was below the Warrants’ $503.61 exercise price. As a result, diluted ~~income~~loss per common share is the same as basic ~~income~~loss per common share for the periods presented.

~~The~~As of December 31, 2024, the Company has ~~three~~two classes of shares that participate in earnings, which are referred to as Class A ~~convertible~~ common stock ~~and Class A common stock~~ (fka Class C common stock) and Class B convertible common stock (the “Founder Shares”).

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage of $250,000. Any loss incurred, or a lack of access to such funds, could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Excluding the warrant liability, the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Reclassification

The related party payables and accrued expenses have been reclassified for the prior year on the current year balance sheet for presentation purposes. No changes to the total assets, liabilities, or stockholder’s equity has been made.

NOTE 3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On March 20, 2020, the Sponsor purchased 3,593,750 shares of Class B convertible common stock (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate price of $25,000, or approximately $0.007 per share.

On August 3, 2020, the Company effected a 1.4-for-1 forward stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of Class B convertible common stock, resulting in an aggregate of 5,031,250 Founder Shares being outstanding, of which an aggregate of up to 656,250 shares were subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part so that the Sponsor would own, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering.

On November 5, 2020, the over-allotment option expired and was not exercised. Consequently 656,250 Founder Shares were forfeited. Following the forfeiture, the sponsor owned 4,375,000 shares of Class B convertible common stock.

On September 27, 2022, the Company’s Sponsor contributed to the Company an aggregate of 200,000 shares of Class B convertible common stock. Following the contribution, the Sponsor owned 4,175,000 shares of Class B convertible common stock.

On October 17, 2022, the Sponsor elected to convert 3,000,000 shares of Class B convertible common stock into 3,000,000 shares of Class A convertible common stock. Following the conversion, the Sponsor owned 1,175,000 shares of Class B convertible common stock.

The Class B convertible common stock is identical to the Class A ~~convertible~~ common stock except that (i) each share of Class B convertible common stock shall be entitled to ten (10) votes at any annual or special meeting of stockholders or in the case of any written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting and for all purposes, and (ii) the Class B convertible common stock has the exclusive right to elect, replace and remove the directors of the Company. Holders of Class B convertible common stock may also elect to convert their shares of Class B convertible common stock into an equal number of shares of Class A common stock, subject to adjustment as provided above, at any time.

On February 27, 2023, the Sponsor purchased 204,200 shares of Class C common stock from a Holder, which were comprised of (i) 4,200 shares of Class C common stock, which were issued on a one-for-one basis for the number of shares of Class A convertible common stock of the Company previously redeemed from the Holder, and (ii) 200,000 shares of Class C common stock, which represent the Holder’s pro rata share of the Class C common stock that were held in the Trust Account, for an aggregate purchase price of $42,000.

On November 1, 2023, the Sponsor voluntarily elected to convert all of its shares of Class A convertible common Stock into shares of Class C common stock (the “Class C Conversion”), which upon completion the Class C common stock was renamed Class A common stock.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters were entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $6,125,000.

On August 22, 2022, UBS agreed to waive its entitlement to the deferred underwriting commission of $4,593,750 to which it became entitled upon completion of the Company’s Initial Public Offering, subject to the consummation of the Transaction. On December 27, 2022, the Company announced the completion of the redemption of its outstanding shares of Class A common stock subject to redemption, totaling 2,046,609 shares issued in its IPO, in accordance with the provision of its charter, which resulted in the forfeiture of the remaining $1,531,250 of the deferred underwriting fee. As a result, and for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company derecognized the entire deferred underwriting fee payable of $6,125,000 and recorded $5,815,688 of the forgiveness of the deferred underwriting fee allocated to Public Shares to the carrying value of the shares of Class A common stock and the remaining balance of $309,312 as a gain from extinguishment of liability allocated to warrant liabilities.

Risks and Uncertainties

United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the ~~recent escalation of the~~ Israel-Hamas conflict. In response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance to Ukraine and to Israel, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Israel and its neighboring states and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply ~~chain~~ chain interruptions and increased cyber-attacks against U.S. companies. Additionally, any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the ~~global~~ global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets.

Any of the above mentioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the ongoing Russian ~~invasion~~conflict of with Ukraine, ~~the~~ ~~escalation of~~ the Israel-Hamas conflict and subsequent sanctions or related actions, could adversely affect the Company’s search ~~for~~ for a business opportunity and any target business with which the Company may ultimately consummate a business opportunity.

Warrants — Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. No warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to such shares of common stock.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:

●

in whole and not in part;

●

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

●

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption;

●

if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like and subject to adjustment as described below) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and

●

If, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the warrants.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement.

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. The Company liquidated the funds held in the Trust Account; holders of warrants did not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor did they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

The Private Warrants will be identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Warrants will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchaser or its permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

The income tax provision for the years ended December 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023, consists of the following:

Federal	~~2023~~2024			~~2022~~2023

As of December 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023, the Company did not have any U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryovers (“NOLs”) available to offset future taxable income.

In assessing the realization of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all of the information available, management determined that a full valuation allowance was required.

A reconciliation of the income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023, is as follows:

	As of December 31, 2023			As of December 31, 2022
	As of December 31, 2024			As of December 31, 2023
Statutory federal income tax rate		21.0	%		21.0	%
State taxes, net of federal tax benefit		5(3.54	)%		05.05	%
Permanent book/tax differences		42(12.62	)%		~~(20~~42.86	)%
Change in valuation allowance		(7428.97	)%		1(74.9	)%
Effective income tax rate		(523.83	)%		2(5.18	)%

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in various state and local jurisdictions and is subject to examination by the various taxing authorities.

NOTE 7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1:

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2:

Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following tables present information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023, and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

Description	December 31, 2024		Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Other Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Liabilities:
Derivative Warrant Liabilities – Public Warrants	$	1,750	$	—	$	1,750	$	—

Derivative Warrant Liabilities – Private Placement Warrants	$	61,500	$	—	$	61,500	$	—

The fair value of the Company’s Public Warrants at December 31, 2024 and 2023, is based on observable inputs. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the measurement of the Private Warrants is classified as Level 2 due to the use of an observable market quote for a similar asset.

The fair value of the Company’s Public Warrants at December 31, 2023 and 2022, is based on observable inputs. The fair value of the Private Warrants prior to their transfer to Level 2 in Q4 2022 was based on a Monte Carlo simulation model, with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations. As of December 31, 2022 and subsequent measurements, the measurement of the Private Warrants are classified as Level 2 due to the use of the closing price of the Public Warrants, an observable market quote for a similar asset in an active market.
