NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Genesis Growth Tech Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on March 17, 2021. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”). The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, the Company had not ~~commenced~~ commenced any operations. All activity for the period from March 17, 2021 (inception) through ~~June~~September 30, 2023, relates to the Company’s ~~formation~~ formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) described below, and, subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering and placed in a Trust Account (as defined below).

The Company’s sponsor is Genesis Growth Tech LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on December 8, 2021. On December 13, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 22,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $220.0 million and incurring offering costs of approximately $19.0 million, of which $12.1 million was for deferred underwriting fees for costs relating to the Initial Public Offering. The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 3,300,000 Units at the Initial Public Offering price to cover over-allotments. On December 21, 2021, the underwriters pursuant to the full exercise of the over-allotment option, purchased 3,300,000 Units. The over-allotment units were sold at the offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating additional gross proceeds to the Company of $33.0 million. The Company incurred additional offering costs of approximately $2.1 million in connection with the over-allotment, of which approximately $1.8 million was for deferred underwriting commissions (see Note 5). On January 26, 2023, Nomura Securities International, Inc. (“Nomura”) the underwriter for the initial public offering of the Company, pursuant to a letter dated as of the same date, waived its entitlement to the payment of the deferred underwriting discount then payable to Nomura in connection with the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the prior underwriting agreement between Nomura and the Company dated December 8, 2021. Other than such waiver, the letter did not waive any rights or obligations of the Company or Nomura which survive the termination of the underwriting agreement.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 8,050,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of approximately $8.1 million. In connection with the full exercise of the over-allotment option on December 21, 2021, the Sponsor purchased an additional 825,000 Private Placement Warrants at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating additional gross proceeds to the Company of $825,000 (Note 4).

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the over-allotment and the Private Placement, $253 million (or $10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering, the over-allotment and the Private Placement Warrants in the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”), located in the United States, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and will invest only in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Except with respect to interest and other income earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay taxes, if any, and up to $100,000 for dissolution costs, the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering, the over-allotment and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of an initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of the Company’s public shares if the Company does not complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below), subject to applicable law, or (iii) the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

GENESIS GROWTH TECH ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, the over-allotment and the sale of Private Placement Warrants. Although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally towards consummating a Business Combination, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest and other income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of signing a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

The Company will provide holders (the “Public Shareholders”) of its Public Shares, with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest and other income earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s income taxes, if any, divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations described herein. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, the amount in the Trust Account was approximately $1214.7914 per Public Share.

All of the Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the initial Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s memorandum and articles of association then in existence. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”), paragraph 10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Accordingly, all of the Public Shares are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet. Given that the Public Shares were issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., public warrants), the initial carrying value of Class A ordinary shares classified as temporary equity was the allocated amount of the proceeds. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either (i) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or (ii) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company will elect to recognize the changes in redemption value immediately. The change in redemption value was recognized as a one-time charge against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit. The Public Shares are redeemable and are classified as such on the balance sheet until such date that a redemption event takes place. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem its Public Shares irrespective of whether it votes for or against the proposed transaction or vote at all. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the initial shareholders (as defined below) agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 4) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Second A&R Articles”) provide that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in the Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company.

GENESIS GROWTH TECH ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s memorandum and articles of association then existing, in order to extend the period of time to consummate an initial Business Combination, the Sponsor deposited $2,530,000 into the Trust Account on December 9, 2022, for a three-month extension expiring on March 13, 2023. On February 22, 2023, the shareholders approved an amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the deadline to complete an initial Business Combination from March 13, 2023 to September 13, 2023 (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”). The Company has until 21 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or September 13, 2023 (the “Combination Period”), to consummate the initial Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest and other income earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any) and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

In connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal, shareholders elected to redeem 25,198,961 Class A ordinary shares in the Company, representing approximately 99.6% of the issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares in the Company, for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s trust account. As a result, $263,325,414 (approximately $10.45 per share) was debited from the Company’s trust account to pay such holders.

The Company’s Sponsor, executive officers, directors and director nominees (the “initial shareholders”) agreed not to propose any amendment to the Second A&R Articles (A) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of the Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination by September 13, 2023 or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Class A ordinary shares, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A ordinary shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest and other income earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its income taxes, if any, divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares.

The Sponsor, officers and directors agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the initial shareholders or members of the Company’s management team acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriter agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 5) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amount will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except for the Company’s independent registered accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

On August 31, 2023, GGAA held a second extraordinary general meeting of shareholders at which holders of 5,883,786 ordinary shares in the Company were present virtually or by proxy, representing approximately 92% of the voting power of the 6,426,039 ordinary shares issued and outstanding entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting at the close of business on August 7, 2023, which was the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting. In connection with the Second Extension Amendment Proposal, Shareholders holding an aggregate of 19,519 Class A ordinary shares of GGAA, representing approximately 0.3% of the issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares in GGAA, elected to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in GGAA’s trust account. As a result, approximately $246,605.40 (approximately $12.63 per share) was debited from the Company’s trust account to pay such holders. At this meeting shareholders of the Company also proposed and approved an additional extension proposal extending the timeline in which the Company can consummate a business combination from September 13, 2023 to December 13, 2024.

Proposed Business Combination and Termination

On August 22, 2022, the Company, and Biolog-ID, a société anonyme organized under the laws of France (“Biolog-id”), signed a memorandum of understanding (the “MoU”) with respect to the contemplated merger of the Company with and into Biolog-id (the “Biolog Merger”) with Biolog-id as the continuing company following closing of the Merger and related transactions pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement in the form attached to the MoU. Under French law, no commitment with respect to the proposed Biolog Merger could be agreed prior to Biolog-id completing the consultation process with its social and economic committee (comité social et économique) (the “Works Council”). Biolog-id completed the Works Council consultation process and on August 26, 2022, the Company and Biolog-id entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA”).

By virtue of the Biolog-id Merger, each Company ordinary share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Biolog Merger (after giving effect to specified events) would be automatically cancelled and extinguished and exchanged for a number of ordinary shares of Biolog-id (received in the form of American Depositary Shares), as determined in accordance with the exchange ratio described in the BCA.

Effective March 6, 2023 and in accordance with Section 7.1(a) of the BCA, the Company and Biolog-id mutually agreed to terminate the BCA, pursuant to a termination agreement by and between the Company and Biolog-id (the “Termination Agreement”). Under the Termination Agreement, the Company waived and released all claims, obligations, liabilities and losses against Biolog-id and its Company Non-Party Affiliates (as defined therein), and Biolog-id waived and released all claims, obligations, liabilities and losses against the Company and its SPAC Non-Party Affiliates (as defined therein), arising or resulting from or relating to, directly or indirectly, the BCA, any other transaction documents, any of the transactions contemplated by the BCA or any other transaction documents, except for any terms, provisions, rights or obligations that expressly survive the termination of the BCA or set forth in the Termination Agreement.

Going Concern Consideration

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $4.58 million.

The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to cover certain expenses on behalf of the Company in exchange for issuance of Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4) and a loan from the Sponsor of approximately $453,000 under the Note (as defined in Note 4). Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants held outside of the Trust Account.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, members of the Company’s founding team or any of their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds under the Working Capital Loans (as defined and described in Note 4) as needed.

However, in connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that the Company’s liquidity needs, mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after ~~September~~ December 13, ~~2023~~2024. The unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, certain disclosures included in the annual financial statements have been or omitted from these financial statements as they are not required for interim financial statements under U.S. GAAP and the rules of the SEC. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. Operating results for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2023.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on June 20, 2023. The financial information as of December 31, 2022, is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on June 20, 2023.

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 auditor 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 shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

GENESIS GROWTH TECH ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 an emerging growth 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 an 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 standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make the comparison of the Company’s unaudited financial statements with those of another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that 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 unaudited 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 unaudited financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 ~~the~~and ~~Company had $689,047 in cash held in an operating bank account. As of~~ December 3130, 2022, the Company had no$0 ~~cash~~in cash held in an operating bank account.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” equal or approximate the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers consist of:

●

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

●

Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

●

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its equity-linked financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). For derivative financial instruments that are classified as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recognized at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations each reporting period.

The Company accounted for the 12,650,000 warrants included in the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering and the 8,875,000 Private Placement Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815. Such guidance provides that the warrants described above are not precluded from equity classification. Equity-classified contracts are initially measured at fair value (or allocated value). Subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized as long as the contracts continue to be classified in equity.

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1. Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting commissions and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Deferred underwriting commissions are classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ deficit. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of its control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. In connection with ~~the~~ the Extension Amendment Proposal, shareholders elected to redeem 25,198,961 Class A ordinary shares in the Company, representing approximately 99.6% of the issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares in the Company, for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s trust account. As a result, $263,325,414 (approximately $10.45 per share) was debited from the Company’s trust account to pay such holders. Accordingly, as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 101,039 and 25,300,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, respectively are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheets.

Under ASC 480-10-S99, the Company has to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying value of the security to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the security. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares is treated as a deemed dividend, which results in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

The Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected on the accompanying balance sheets are reconciled on the following table:

Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption as of September 30, 2023	$	1,152,658

Net Income (Loss) per Ordinary Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares, which assumes a business combination as the most likely outcome. Net income (loss) per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period.

Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding ordinary shares subject to forfeiture. The calculation of diluted net income (loss) does not consider the effect of the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering (including the consummation of the Over-allotment) and the private placement warrants to purchase an aggregate of 21,525,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the guidance for accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the unaudited 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. ~~There~~ There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of ~~June~~ September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. 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 considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States of America. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the period presented. There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman Islands income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s unaudited financial statements. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next 12 months.

Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, ASC Subtopic 820 “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions.” The ASU amends ASC 820 to clarify that a contractual sales restriction is not considered in measuring an equity security at fair value and to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value. The ASU applies to both holders and issuers of equity and equity-linked securities measured at fair value. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is still evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on the unaudited financial statements.

NOTE 3 - INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

On December 13, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 22,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $220.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $19.0 million, of which $12.1 million was for deferred underwriting fees for costs relating to the Initial Public Offering. On December 21, 2021, the underwriters, pursuant to the full exercise of the over-allotment option, purchased 3,300,000 Units. The over-allotment units were sold at the offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating additional gross proceeds to the Company of $33.0 million. The Company incurred additional offering costs of approximately $2.1 million in connection with the over-allotment, of which approximately $1.8 million was for deferred underwriting commissions (see Note 5).

Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 6).

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On May 26, 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.003 per share, to cover certain expenses in consideration for 7,187,500 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares”). On September 20, 2021, the Sponsor surrendered an aggregate of 1,437,500 Class B ordinary shares to the Company’s capital for no consideration, and on December 8, 2021, the Sponsor effected a share capitalization, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 6,325,000 Class B ordinary shares. In December 2021, the Sponsor transferred to Nomura Securities International, Inc. (“Nomura”), the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering, an aggregate of 474,375 Founder Shares at the Sponsor’s original purchase price of $1,500, subject to forfeiture by Nomura if the Initial Public Offering was terminated or if Nomura was not the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering. As a result, the Sponsor holds 5,850,625 Founder Shares and Nomura holds 474,375 Founder Shares. Up to 825,000 Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriter, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On December 21, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 3,300,000 Units. As a result, the 825,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

The Company determined that the excess of the fair value of the Founder Shares acquired by Nomura from the Sponsor over the price paid by Nomura should be recognized as an offering cost by the Company in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offerings.” The allocated portion of the additional offering cost associated with the Class A ordinary shares was charged to the carrying value of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

Private Placement Warrants

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 8,050,000 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of approximately $8.1 million. In connection with the full exercise of the over-allotment option on December 21, 2021, the Sponsor purchased an additional 825,000 Private Placement Warrants at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating additional gross proceeds to the Company of $800,000, and the remaining $25,000 was a receivable. This receivable amount was offset against the Note (as defined below).

Each warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

GENESIS GROWTH TECH ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.

Promissory Note - Related Party

The Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $500,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note, dated May 26, 2021, and amended on October 26, 2021, (the “Note”). This loan was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of March 31, 2022, or the completion of of the Initial Public Offering. As of the date of the Initial Public Offering, the Company had borrowed approximately $453,000 under ~~the~~ the Note. In December 2021, subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, the Company repaid $200,000 on the Note and also offset the $25,000 receivable related to the Private Placement Warrants against the Note. As a result, as of December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $228,000 outstanding on the Note, which was due upon demand. In March 2022, the Company repaid the remaining balance of the Note to the Sponsor. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, the Company had no outstanding balance under the Note.

On December 9, 2022, in connection with the extension of the deadline for the Company to complete its initial business combination to March 13, 2023, the Sponsor funded an extension payment for $2,530,000 into the Trust Account. This amount is non-interest bearing and payable on the completion of the Business Combination. The funds were deposited directly into the trust account. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the balance of the loan was $2,307,717 and $2,530,000, respectively.

Working Capital Loans

In addition, in order to finance transaction ~~costs~~ costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers ~~and~~ and directors, may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the ~~Company~~ Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account ~~released~~ released to it. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust ~~Account~~ Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of ~~June~~ September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Administrative Support Agreement

On December 8, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to reimburse the Sponsor for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to the Company in the amount of $10,000 per month through the earlier of the consummation of the initial Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation.

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement signed upon the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company’s completion of the initial Business Combination. However, the registration and shareholder rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up periods with respect to such securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriter was entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.10 per Unit, or $2.5 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering (including over-allotment). In addition, $0.55 per unit, or $13.9 million in the aggregate, will be payable to the underwriter for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. On January 26, 2023, the underwriter agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within in the Combination Period and, in such event, such amount will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares.

On January 26, 2023, Nomura Securities International, Inc. (“Nomura”) the underwriter for the initial public offering of the Company, pursuant to a letter dated as of the same date, waived its entitlement to the payment of the deferred underwriting discount then payable to Nomura in connection with the initial public offering and pursuant to the prior underwriting agreement between Nomura and the Company dated December 8, 2021. Other than such waiver, the letter did not waive any rights or obligations of the Company or Nomura which survive the termination of the underwriting agreement.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management also continues to evaluate the impact of the volatility and disruptions in the financial markets caused by, among other things, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, rising interest rates and mounting inflationary cost pressures and recessionary fears. The specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these unaudited financial statements.

Class B Ordinary shares - The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders are entitled to one vote for each Class B ordinary share. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 6,325,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding, which amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the shares surrender on September 20, 2021, and the share capitalization on on December 8, 2021, as discussed in Note 4.

Holders of the Class A ordinary shares and holders of the Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders, except as required by law or stock exchange rule; provided that only holders of the Class B ordinary shares have the right to vote on the appointment of the Company’s directors prior to the initial Business Combination.

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares (which such Class A ordinary shares delivered upon conversion will not have redemption rights or be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination) at the time of the Company’s initial Business Combination or earlier at the option of the holders thereof at a ratio such that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of (i) the total number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon completion of our Initial Public Offering, plus (ii) the total number of Class A ordinary shares issued or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding any Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, deemed issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any private placement warrants issued to the sponsor, its affiliates or any member of the Company’s management team upon conversion of working capital loans (if any).

Warrants - As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 12,650,000 Public Warrants and 8,875,000 Private Placement Warrants were outstanding.

The Public Warrants will become exercisable at $11.50 per share 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination; provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreements; provided that if the Company’s Class A ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but the Company will use its commercially reasonably efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60^th day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption, but the Company will use its commercially reasonably efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

The warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per Class A ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and in the case of any such issuance to the Company’s Sponsor or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Company’s Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below under “Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Class A Ordinary Share Equals or Exceeds $18.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

Except as described below, the Private Placement Warrants are identical to those of the warrants being sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering. The Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and they will not be redeemable by the Company. Holders of the Company’s private placement warrants have the option to exercise the Private Placement Warrants on a cashless basis.

Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Class A Ordinary Share Equals or Exceeds $18.00

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the Public Warrants for redemption (except with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

●

in whole and not in part;

●

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

●

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

●

if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

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 agreements. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will 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.

NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the unaudited financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events, other than below, that have occurred that would require adjustments to the disclosures in the accompanying unaudited financial statements.

As previously disclosed, on December 9, 2022, the Sponsor deposited $2,530,000 in cash into the trust account of the Company, to extend the date by which the Company had to complete an initial business combination pursuant to its Articles of Association, for three months from December 13, 2022 to March 13, 2023 (which date was subsequently extended until September 13, 2023). On July 19, 2023, the Company entered into an Extension Promissory Note with the Sponsor to document the repayment of the extension payment (the “Note”). The Note does not bear interest and is payable upon the earlier of demand and the liquidation of the Company. Events of default under the Note include failure to pay amounts when due and bankruptcy proceedings. The Note provides that if a business combination is not consummated, the Note will be repaid solely to the extent that the Company has funds available to it outside of the trust account established in which the proceeds of the Company’s IPO and the proceeds of the sale of the warrants issued in a private placement that occurred prior to the closing of the IPO, were deposited, and that all other amounts will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven. The Note also included provisions whereby the Sponsor waived claims to any funds in the Trust Account.

We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated on March 17, 2021 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. We intend to effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of our Initial Public Offering and the private placement of the Private Placement Warrants, the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial Business Combination (pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements we may enter into), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing or other sources.

The issuance of additional shares in a business combination:

●

may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in our Initial Public Offering, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in the Class B ordinary shares resulted in the issuance of Class A ordinary shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B ordinary shares;

●

may subordinate the rights of holders of Class A ordinary shares if preference shares are issued with rights senior to those afforded our Class A ordinary shares;

●

could cause a change in control if a substantial number of our Class A ordinary shares are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors;

●

may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the share ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us;

●

may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our units, Class A ordinary shares and/or warrants; and

●

may not result in adjustment to the exercise price of our warrants.

1920

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

●

default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an initial business combination 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 is payable on demand;

●

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

●

our inability to pay dividends on our Class A ordinary shares;

●

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 ordinary shares 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 indicated in the accompanying unaudited financial statements, as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $3.38 million. Further, we expect to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our initial business combination. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our initial business combination will be successful.

The extension provided additional time for the Company and Biolog-id to consummate the Biolog-id business combination. The extension was the first of up to two three-month extensions permitted under the Company’s governing documents.21

OnTermination ~~February 22, 2023, we held an extraordinary general meeting~~ of ~~shareholders~~Previously ~~(the~~Planned ~~“EGM”), at which our public shareholders approved a proposal to amend our amended and~~Merger restated memorandum and articles of association, by way of special resolution, in the form of the second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Second A&R Articles”), to extend the date by which we have to consummate a business combination from March 13, 2023 (which deadline was previously extended from December 13, 2022) to September 13, 2023 (the “Extension Period”). The Company currently expects to hold another extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to seek approval from our public shareholders to further extend the date by which we have to consummate a business combination, provided that no definitive plans regarding a further extension have been agreed to by the Board of Directors, and any further extension may not be approved by shareholders.Agreement

20The Plan of Merger had contemplated that the Company and NextTrip would engage in a series of transactions pursuant to which, among other transactions, Merger Sub would merge with and into NextTrip, with NextTrip continuing as the surviving entity upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Plan of Merger, and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company

Proposed Business Combination with NextTrip Holdings, Inc.

On May 22, 2023, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with GGAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Florida corporation and newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Eyal Perez, solely in his capacity as the representative from and after the effective time of the Merger (as defined below) (the “Effective Time”) for the shareholders of Genesis (other than the NextTrip Shareholders (as defined below)) (the “Purchaser Representative”), NextTrip Holdings, Inc., a Florida corporation (“NextTrip”), and William Kerby, solely in his capacity as the representative from and after the Effective Time for the NextTrip Shareholders (the “Seller Representative”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (i) upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Closing”), Merger Sub will merge with and into NextTrip (the “Merger” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”), with NextTrip continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Genesis. In the Merger, (i) all shares of NextTrip capital stock (together, “NextTrip Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (as defined below); and (ii) each outstanding NextTrip security convertible into NextTrip Stock, if not exercised or converted prior to the Effective Time, will be cancelled, retired and terminated and cease to represent a right to acquire, be exchanged for or convert into NextTrip Stock or Merger Consideration (as defined below).

The Merger Agreement also provides that, prior to the Effective Time, Genesis shall convert out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware so as to re-domicile as and become a Delaware corporation (the “Conversion”). At the Closing, Genesis will change its name to “NextTrip, Inc.”

Results of Operations

Our entire activity since inception up to ~~June~~September 30, 2023, was in preparation for our formation and our Initial Public Offering, and, subsequent to our Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest.

For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, we had net loss of approximately $~~164~~309,000, which consisted of general and administrative expenses of $~~149~~295,000 and $30,000 in general and administrative expenses for related party, relating to the December 8, 2021 agreement entered into with the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to reimburse the Sponsor for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to the Company in the amount of $10,000 per month through the earlier of the consummation of the initial Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation, offset by income from investments held in the Trust Account of approximately $15,000.

For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, we had a net ~~loss~~ income of approximately $854,~~000~~700, which consisted of ~~general~~income ~~and~~from ~~administrative~~investments ~~expenses~~held in the Trust Account of approximately $~~392~~1,136,000, ~~and~~offset ~~$30,000~~by in general and administrative expenses ~~for~~of ~~related~~approximately ~~party~~$1,102,000 ~~offset~~and byapproximately ~~income~~$30,000 ~~from investments held~~ in ~~the~~general ~~Trust~~and ~~Account~~administrative ofexpenses ~~approximately~~for ~~$336,000~~related party.

For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, we had net income of approximately $~~1.2 million~~879,000, which consisted of income from investments held in the Trust Account of approximately $1~~.6 million~~, 647,000, offset by general and administrative expenses of approximately $~~383~~678,000 and $6090,000 in general and administrative expenses for related party, relating to the December 8, 2021 agreement entered into with the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to reimburse the Sponsor for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to the Company in the amount of $10,000 per month through the earlier of the consummation of the initial Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation.

For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, we had a net loss of approximately $~~291~~287,000, which consisted of general and administrative expenses of approximately $~~584~~1,~~000~~686,000 and $6090,000 in general and administrative expenses for related party, offset by income from investments held in the Trust Account of approximately $~~353~~1,489,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, we have ~~cash of~~ $~~689,047~~0 cash and a working capital deficit of $4,~~543~~867,~~036~~784. On June 20, 2023, the Company was transferred the $1,057,397 due from related party as of June 30, 2023, in full and the amount owed to the Company was transferred into a bank account owned by the Company.

2122

For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, we had net cash used in operating activities of $~~511~~978,~~548~~312, compared to $~~575~~855,~~787~~718 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, which for the 2023 period was mainly due to $1,~~631~~646,~~313~~715 of paid-in-kind interest income on investments held in the trust account and $1878,~~188,191~~845 of net income and $210,442 for other operating activities for the 2022 period was mainly due to $~~291~~286,~~415~~674 of net loss, offset by paid-in-kind interest income on investments held in the trust account of ~~$352,959. We had net cash provided by investing activities~~ of $~~264~~1,~~526~~489,~~009~~289 ~~for~~And ~~the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to~~ $~~0 for the six months ended June 30~~920,245 ~~2022, which for the 2023 period was mainly due to $263,325,414 of cash withdrawn from the trust account~~ in ~~connection~~other ~~with~~operating ~~redemptions. We had $263,325,414 of net cash used in financing~~ activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $228,077 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, which for the 2023 period was solely due to the redemption of ordinary shares and for the 2022 period was solely due to repayment of note payable to related party.

~~Prior~~We tohad ~~the~~net ~~completion~~cash ofprovided ~~our Initial Public~~by ~~Offering,~~investing ~~our~~activities ~~liquidity~~of ~~needs were satisfied through (i)~~ $25264,~~000~~772,614 ~~paid by our Sponsor to cover certain expenses in exchange~~ for the ~~issuance of~~nine ~~the~~months ~~Founder~~ended ~~Shares~~September to30, ~~our~~2023, ~~Sponsor~~compared ~~and (ii) the receipt of a loan of up~~ to $~~500~~986,~~000~~995 ~~from~~for ~~our Sponsor under~~ the ~~Note.~~nine ~~Prior~~months ~~to the completion~~ended ofSeptember ~~our Initial Public Offering~~30, ~~we borrowed approximately $453~~2022,~~000~~ ~~under the Note,~~ which ~~was~~for ~~fully repaid in March 2022.

We had $263,794,302 of net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $131,277 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which for the 2023 period was solely due to the redemption of ordinary shares and for the 2022 period was solely due to repayment of note payable to related party.

Prior to the completion of our Initial Public Offering, our liquidity needs were satisfied through (i) $25,000 paid by our Sponsor to cover certain expenses in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares to our Sponsor and (ii) the receipt of a loan of up to $500,000 from our Sponsor under the Note. Prior to the completion of our Initial Public Offering, we borrowed approximately $453,000 under the Note, which was fully repaid in March 2022. The net proceeds from (i) the sale of the units in our Initial Public Offering, after deducting non-reimbursed offering expenses of approximately $738,000, underwriting commissions of $2,530,000, and (ii) the sale of the Private Placement Warrants for a purchase price of $8,875,000, was $258,645,000. Of that amount, $257,148,600 was initially placed in the Trust Account. In connection with the Extension EGM and as a result of the redemption of public shares by our public shareholders, approximately $1.2 million remained in the Trust Account as of September 30, 2023. The proceeds held in the Trust Account are invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations 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.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest and other income earned on the Trust Account (less taxes payable), to complete our initial Business Combination. We may withdraw interest income (if any) to pay income taxes, if any. Our annual income tax obligations will depend on the amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account. We expect the interest income earned on the amount in the Trust Account (if any) will be sufficient to pay our income taxes. To the extent that our equity or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

Prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination, we have available to us the $689,047 of proceeds held outside the Trust Account, as well as certain funds from loans from our Sponsor, its affiliates or members of our management team. We plan to primarily use these funds to work to complete and close the Merger.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds to meet the expenditures required for operating our business prior to our initial Business Combination, other than funds available from loans from our Sponsor, its affiliates or members of our management team. However, if our estimates of the costs of completing the Merger are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial Business Combination. In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with any intended initial Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds. If we complete our initial Business Combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. In the event that our initial Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. The terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. Prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our Sponsor, its affiliates or our management team as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our Trust Account.

We expect our primary liquidity requirements during that period to include approximately $300,000 for legal, accounting, due diligence, travel and other expenses associated with structuring, negotiating and documenting successful business combinations; $100,000 for legal and accounting fees related to regulatory reporting obligations; $800,000 for directors and officers insurance premiums; $120,000 for office space, administrative and support services; $100,000 for Nasdaq and other regulatory fees; and $430,000 for general working capital that will be used for miscellaneous expenses and reserves. These amounts are estimates and may differ materially from our actual expenses.

As a result of our public shareholders electing to exercise their redemption rights for approximately 99.6% of our public shares in connection with the Extension EGM, we will need to obtain additional financing to complete our initial Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. If we have not consummated our initial Business Combination by September 13, 2023, because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. The Company currently expects to hold another extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to seek approval from our public shareholders to further extend the date by which we have to consummate a business combination, provided that no definitive plans regarding a further extension have been agreed to by the Board of Directors, and any further extension may not be approved by shareholders.

2223

Based on the foregoing, we believe that we will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity from the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors to meet our needs through the consummation of a Business Combination. However, in connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” we have determined that liquidity needs, the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after September 13, 2023. The unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

The underwriter of our Initial Public Offering, Nomura, was entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.10 per Unit, or $2.5 million in the aggregate (including over-allotment), of which $2.2 million was paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and $0.3 million was paid upon the exercise of the over-allotment option. In addition, $0.55 per unit, or $13.9 million in the aggregate, was to be payable to Nomura for deferred underwriting commissions. On January 26, 2023, Nomura waived its right to receive such $13.9 million of deferred underwriting commissions.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of our unaudited financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our unaudited financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to fair value of financial instruments and accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-03, ASC Subtopic 820 “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions.” The ASU amends ASC 820 to clarify that a contractual sales restriction is not considered in measuring an equity security at fair value and to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value. The ASU applies to both holders and issuers of equity and equity-linked securities measured at fair value. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is still evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on the unaudited financial statements.

Our management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards updates, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited financial statements.

JOBS Act

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, the unaudited financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our Initial Public Offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Strategy Officer (“Management”), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) ~~under~~ under the Exchange Act, Management carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls ~~and~~ and procedures as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023. Based upon their evaluation, Management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting of the Company’s Cash accounts and Due from related party accounts from a failure to segregate bank accounts.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In light of the events described above, in the quarter ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, we implemented additional control measures to enhance the approval process in connection with our SEC ~~filings~~ filings and committed to incorporate as appropriate other training and remedial measures. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

Other than as discussed above, there were no ~~changes~~ changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, including any corrective actions ~~regarding~~ regarding significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Although we may, from time to time, be involved in litigation and claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business, we are not currently a party to any material legal proceeding. In addition, we are not aware of any material legal or governmental proceedings against us or contemplated to be brought against us.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Commission on June 20, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”), under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors”, other than as described below, and investors are encouraged to review such risk factors in the Form 10-K and below, prior to making an investment in the Company. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.

There will be risks associated with the proposed Merger with NextTrip Holdings, Inc.

There will be risks associated with the proposed Merger with NextTrip Holdings, Inc., which we will discuss more fully in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 that we expect to file in connection with effectuating our Merger with NextTrip Holdings, Inc. Any of these risks could result in a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, business or prospects.

We may be unable to complete the acquisition of NextTrip within the anticipated timeframe or at all, which could prevent us from receiving the anticipated benefits from the acquisition in the anticipated timeframe or at all.

We currently expect to complete the Merger in the fourth quarter of 2023 or first quarter of 2024, subject to customary closing conditions, including the adoption of the merger agreement by the holders of the outstanding Class A ordinary shares of the Company, and other customary conditions. As a result of such conditions, there is no assurance that the acquisition will be consummated in the anticipated timeframe or at all. Any failure to consummate the acquisition in the anticipated timeframe or at all could prevent the Company from receiving the expected benefits from the acquisition, force the Company to find another acquisition target, and result in the Company being forced to liquidate before an initial business combination can be completed.

We have expended and will continue to expend significant time and resources in connection with the acquisition of NextTrip and may incur additional indebtedness to fund the expenses associated with the acquisition.

The Company has expended and will continue to expend significant management time and resources and expenses related to the acquisition of NextTrip, many of which must be paid regardless of whether the acquisition is consummated. We also expect to incur additional indebtedness to finance the expenses associated with the acquisition.

We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act, and as such, we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to U.S. domestic issuers.

Because we qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain provisions of the securities rules and regulations in the United States that are applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, including:

●

the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K;

●

the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents, or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act;

●

the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and

●

the selective disclosure rules by issuers of material nonpublic information under Regulation FD.

Irrespective of the above, we have elected to file, and have filed, an annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K, similar to U.S. domestic reporting companies.

As a Cayman Islands exempted company and foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act, we have adopted certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. These practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if we complied fully with the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards.

As a Cayman Islands exempted company listed on the Nasdaq, we are subject to the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. However, the Nasdaq permits a foreign private issuer like us to follow the corporate governance practices of its home country. Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is our home country, may differ significantly from the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. For instance, we are not required to:

●

have a majority of the board be independent or have an audit committee be comprised of three members (although all of the members of the audit committee must be independent under the Exchange Act);

●

have a compensation committee or a nominations or corporate governance committee consisting entirely of independent directors; or

●

have regularly scheduled executive sessions with only independent directors each year.

2526

On November 9, 2022, we filed a Form 8-K with the SEC announcing the resignations of (i) Mr. Pierre Etienne Lallia and Mr. Massimo Prelz-Oltramonti as board members and (ii) Mr. Simon Baker as a board member (including his position as Co-Executive Chairman of the board) and our Chief Operating Officer and Executive Head of M&A. Mr. Lallia and Mr. Prelz-Oltramonti each served on the board’s Audit Committee with Mr. Prelz-Oltramonti also serving on the board’s Compensation Committee and Nominating Committee. The decisions of Mr. Lallia, Mr. Prelz-Oltramonti and Mr. Baker to resign as, as applicable, our director and/or executive officer, was not the result of any dispute or disagreement with us on any matter relating to our operation, policies or practices.

Following these resignations our board is comprised of three members, including one independent director—Mr. Cem Habib. Mr. Habib serves as the sole member of the Audit, Compensation and Nominating Committees and he has been designated as the Audit Committee’s financial expert.

Initially, we sought to generally comply with the general Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. However, in light of the above resignations and to ensure continued compliance with Nasdaq’s corporate governance rules, we have adopted the following home country practices in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5615(a)(3):

●

Audit Committee: As a foreign private issuer we are required to have an Audit Committee meeting the requirements of Listing Rules 5605(c)(3) and 5605(c)(2)(A)(ii). Listing Rule 5605(c)(3) requires the Audit Committee to have specified authority and responsibilities and Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A)(ii) requires each member to meet the requisite independence standards but neither requires that the Audit Committee have more than one member; however, we intend to add at least one additional Audit Committee member meeting the requisite independence standards.

●

Compensation Committee: Rule 5615(a)(3) exempts foreign private issuers from all Compensation Committee requirements, including the requirement that Compensation Committee have at least two independent directors each of whom meets the requisite independence standards; however, we intend to maintain our Compensation Committee and add an additional member meeting the requisite independence standards.

●

Majority Independent Directors: Subject to possible changes in Board composition, we are relying on the provisions of Listing Rule 5615(a)(3) to exempt us from the requirement that on or after December 13, 2022 (the one-year anniversary of our Initial Public Offering) a majority of our Board be comprised of independent directors.

We may be unable to add additional qualified directors to our board as contemplated above on a timely basis or at all. Accordingly, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would enjoy under the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards applicable to U.S. domestic issuers.

Certain special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) with small public floats, including the Company, have recently experienced extreme volatility that was seemingly unrelated to the underlying performance and prospects of the respective companies. We may experience similar volatility in the future, which may make it difficult for prospective investors to assess the value of our securities.

Our Class A ordinary shares and units recently experienced extreme volatility that was seemingly unrelated to our financial results and prospects. On July 13, 2023, the trading price of our Class A ordinary shares, traded between $12.00 and $48.99 per share and the trading price of our units traded between $13.00 and $37.00 per unit, for reasons unknown. The trading prices of certain other SPACs with small public floats also experienced extreme volatility and significant increases in trading values for seemingly unknown reasons. The trading price of our securities is likely to continue to be volatile, and our securities have been, and may continue to be, subject to rapid and substantial price volatility. Such volatility, including any stock-run up, has, and in the future, may be, unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance, financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our securities. There have been recent instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines, particularly among companies with relatively smaller public floats, and we expect that such instances may continue and/or increase in the future. Contributing to this risk of volatility are a number of factors. First, our securities are likely to be more sporadically and thinly traded than that of larger, more established companies. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of securities by our securityholders may disproportionately influence the price of those securities in either direction, which may cause the price of our securities to deviate, potentially significantly, from a price that better reflects the underlying performance of our business. The price of our securities could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our securities are sold in the market without commensurate demand as compared to a seasoned issuer that could better absorb those sales without an adverse impact on its security price. Second, we are a speculative investment due to our status as a SPAC and our business plan to complete a business combination. Third, we have an extremely small float, with only 88,502 outstanding Class A ordinary shares (when not including shares which are part of units) and only 12,537 outstanding units. As a result, orders to purchase or sell even small numbers of our Series A ordinary shares or units may have an extreme effect on the price of our securities, due to the small number of shares available for purchase and sale, and may result in extreme volatility which is unrelated to the underlying performance and prospects of the Company. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their securities on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a larger, more established company that has a relatively large public float.

2627

Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our securities. Such volatility, including any stock run-ups, may be unrelated or disproportionate to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our shares.

Furthermore, the stock market in general, and the market for SPACs in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance or prospects of those companies. Broad market and industry factors, as well as general economic, political and market conditions such as recessions, or changes in inflation or interest rates, may seriously affect the market price of our securities, regardless of our actual operating performance or prospects. These fluctuations may be even more pronounced in the trading market for our securities as we approach the closing date of a potential business combination, and as a result of our extremely limited public float as discussed above. As a result of this volatility, investors may experience losses on their investment in our securities. No assurance can be given that an active market in our securities will develop or be sustained. If an active market does not develop, holders of our securities may be unable to readily sell the securities they hold or may not be able to sell their securities at all. The price of our securities may decline in the future and any investment in the Company may be lost.

Our securities are currently subject to a trading halt with the Nasdaq Global Market and Nasdaq has provided us notice that it plans to delist our securities from Nasdaq.

On July 13, 2023, the Nasdaq Global Market initiated a trading halt on our Series A ordinary shares, units and warrants in connection with the request by Nasdaq for additional information regarding our public float and compliance with certain other of Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements (the “Trading Halt”).

We originally qualified for listing on the Nasdaq Global Market under Nasdaq that qualified for listing under Nasdaq Rule 5406, which provides for alternative initial listing requirements for companies whose business plan is to complete one or more acquisitions. In connection therewith, we are required to meet certain continued listing requirements under Nasdaq Rule 5452. Rule 5452 requires SPACs to meet certain requirements, and including that until a company has consummated its business combination, Nasdaq will initiate suspension and delisting procedures if: over 30 consecutive trading days the SPAC’s average market value of listed securities is below $50 million or if the average market value of publicly held shares is below $40 million. We are also required pursuant to Rule 5452 to maintain (a) at least 300 public stockholders (if a component of a unit is a warrant, at least 100 holders); (b) at least 1,200 total stockholders and average monthly trading volume of 100,000 shares (for the most recent 12 months); or (c) at least 600,000 publicly held shares.

On July 14, 2023, we received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that our securities (units, ordinary shares and warrants) will be suspended from The Nasdaq Global Market on July 25, 2023, due to the Company’s non-compliance with Listing Rule 5452. Pursuant to the July 14, 2023, notice, Nasdaq advised the Company that for the 30 consecutive trading days ending June 27, 2023, the Company’s average market value of listed securities has been below $50 million and the average market value of publicly held securities for its Class A ordinary shares has been below $40 million, and as a result, Nasdaq has determined to delist the Company’s securities.

Additionally, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5452(a)(2)(C), SPACs are required to hold at least 600,000 in publicly held shares. According to the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, Nasdaq calculated the publicly held shares as 101,039. Nasdaq advised that this deficiency serves as an additional and separate basis for delisting.

2728

Furthermore, as previously disclosed, on May 23, 2023, Nasdaq notified the Company that it did not comply with Listing Rule 5250(c), due to its failure to timely file its Form 10-Q ~~for~~ for the period ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023. The Company’s failure to timely file its periodic report also serves as an additional and separate basis for delisting; provided that such Form 10-Q has now been filed.

Accordingly, and pursuant to Listing Rule 5815(a)(1)(B)(ii)(c), unless the Company requests an appeal of this determination, trading of the Company’s listed securities will be suspended from The Nasdaq Global Market on July 25, 2023, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market.

The Company may appeal Nasdaq’s determination to a Hearings Panel, pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series. Requests for a hearing are required to be submitted electronically through the Nasdaq Listing Center, and must be received no later than 4:00 Eastern Time on July 21, 2023. The Company is currently determining whether or not to appeal Nasdaq’s determination. In the event the Company does not appeal Nasdaq’s determination, the Company expects that its securities (units, ordinary shares and warrants) will be eligible to be quoted on the OTC Markets.

It is currently unclear whether the Trading Halt will be lifted by Nasdaq prior to the delisting of the Company’s securities from Nasdaq and/or prior to any determination by a Hearings Panel, in the event the Company determines to appeal such determination to a Hearings Panel.

Delisting from Nasdaq will likely make trading our securities more difficult for investors, potentially leading to declines in our trading prices and liquidity. Without a Nasdaq listing, security holders may have a difficult time getting a quote for the sale or purchase of our securities, the sale or purchase of our securities would likely be made more difficult and the trading volume and liquidity of our securities could decline. Delisting from Nasdaq could also result in negative publicity, result in the termination of our pending Merger and/or make it more difficult for us to find an alternative business combination, or to complete such Merger or alternative business combination. If our securities are delisted by Nasdaq, our securities may be eligible to trade on an over-the-counter quotation system, such as the OTCQB Market, where an investor may find it more difficult to sell our securities or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our securities. In the event our securities are delisted from Nasdaq, we may not be able to list our securities on another national securities exchange or obtain quotation on an over-the counter quotation system. As a result of the above, we may be forced to abandon our business, liquidate and wind up.

In the event the Trading Halt is not lifted prior to the delisting of our securities from Nasdaq, security holders will have no way to publicly sell our securities, which may mean they are forced to hold such securities indefinitely, until or unless we determine to liquidate and wind-up.

Separate from the above, and as previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filings with the SEC on (a) June 30, 2023, on June 28, 2023, we received a notification letter from Nasdaq stating the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(B), as a result of the number of publicly held shares of the Company as reported on the Company’s Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2022 (i.e., 101,039 shares), having fallen below the minimum of 1,100,000 publicly held shares required for continued listing — The Nasdaq notification letter had no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s units, common stock or warrants on The Nasdaq Global Market. The Nasdaq notification letter provides the Company until August 14, 2023, to submit a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance with the Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements. If the plan is accepted, Nasdaq can grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days, or until December 25, 2023, for the Company to regain compliance. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s compliance plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Hearing Panel under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(a); and (b) June 16, 2023, on June 13, 2023, the Company received a notification letter from Nasdaq stating the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5452(b)(C), as a result of the aggregate market value of the Company’s outstanding warrants falling below the required minimum of $1,000,000 in aggregate market value on June 12, 2023 and for failing to meet the continued Nasdaq listing requirements under alternative standards — The Nasdaq notification letter had no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s units, common stock or warrants on The Nasdaq Global Market. The Nasdaq notification letter provided the Company until July 28, 2023, to submit a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance with the Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements. If the plan is accepted, Nasdaq can grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days, or until December 10, 2023, for the Company to regain compliance. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s compliance plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Hearing Panel under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(a).

The above deficiencies are separate from, and their potential compliance periods are separate from, the delisting notification received on July 14, 2023, as discussed above, which delisting notification takes priority over the June 28, 2023 and June 13, 2023 notification letters.

2829

We have identified material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. If not remediated, our failure to establish and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could result in material misstatements in our financial statements and a failure to meet our reporting and financial obligations, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and the trading price of our securities.

Maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and effective disclosure controls and procedures are necessary for us to produce reliable financial statements. As reported under “Part II” - “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, our Management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2022, due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting of the Company’s Cash accounts and Due from related party accounts from a failure to segregate bank accounts. In light of the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our unaudited interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and have restated all financial statements in Note 2 of the financial statements to the Company’s Annual report on Form 10-K which were affected by such material weaknesses.

Additionally, as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, as disclosed above, as required by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, Management carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023. Based upon their evaluation, Management ~~concluded~~ concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting of the Company’s Cash accounts and Due from related party accounts from a failure to segregate bank accounts.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis.

Maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures and effective internal control over financial reporting are necessary for us to produce reliable financial statements and the Company is committed to remediating its material weaknesses in such controls as promptly as possible. However, there can be no assurance as to when these material weaknesses will be remediated or that additional material weaknesses will not arise in the future. Any failure to remediate the material weaknesses, or the development of new material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, could result in material misstatements in our financial statements and cause us to fail to meet our reporting and financial obligations, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and the trading price of our securities, and/or result in litigation against us or our management. In addition, even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures, those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or facilitate the fair presentation of our financial statements or our periodic reports filed with the SEC.

Economic uncertainty may affect our access to capital and/or increase the costs of such capital.

Global economic conditions continue to be volatile and uncertain due to, among other things, consumer confidence in future economic conditions, fears of recession and trade wars, global conflicts, including the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the price of energy, increasing interest rates, the availability and cost of consumer credit, the availability and timing of government stimulus programs, levels of unemployment, increased inflation, and tax rates. These conditions remain unpredictable and create uncertainties about our ability to raise capital in the future. In the event required capital becomes unavailable in the future, or more costly, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

The Company did not issue or sell any unregistered equity securities during the quarter ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, and through the date of the filing of this Report.

Neither the Company, nor any affiliated purchasers, purchased any equity securities during the quarter ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, and through the date of the filing of this Report.

Use of Proceeds

On December 13, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 22,000,000 Units. On December 21, 2021, we issued an additional 3,300,000 units in connection with the over-allotment option. All Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds to us of approximately $256.8 million.

On our Initial Public Offering closing date, simultaneously with the consummation of our Initial Public Offering, we completed the private placement of 8,050,000 Private Placement Warrants at a purchase price of $1.00 per warrant to our Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to us of approximately $8.1 million. On December 21, 2021, we completed the private placement of an additional 825,000 Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor in connection with the exercise of the over-allotment option, generating gross proceeds to us of approximately $0.8 million. In total, the private placements of our Private Placement Warrants in connection with our Initial Public Offering and the over-allotment option generated gross proceeds of approximately $8.8 million to us.

From March 17, 2021 (inception) through the closing date of our Initial Public Offering, we incurred approximately $19.0 million for costs and expenses related to our Initial Public Offering. In connection with our Initial Public Offering, we paid a total of approximately $2.5 million in underwriting discounts and commissions. In addition, the underwriters agreed to defer approximately $13.9 million in underwriting discounts and commissions, which amount was to be payable upon consummation of the initial Business Combination. Subsequent to the Initial Public Offering closing date, a total of $428,000 was repaid to our Sponsor on the Note, out of the proceeds from our Initial Public Offering.

After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions (excluding the deferred portion of approximately $13.9 million, which amount will be payable upon consummation of the initial Business Combination) and offering expenses, the total net proceeds from our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were approximately $258.6 million, of which approximately $256.8 million (or $10.15 per unit sold in our Initial Public Offering) was placed in the Trust Account.

The securities sold in our Initial Public Offering were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File Nos. 333-261248 and 333-261559) (the “Registration Statement”). The SEC declared the Registration Statement effective on December 8, 2021.

No payments for our expenses were made in the offering described above directly or indirectly to (i) any of our directors, officers or their associates, (ii) any person(s) owning 10% or more of any class of our equity securities or (iii) any of our affiliates, except in connection with the repayment of outstanding loans. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our offering as described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) related to the Initial Public Offering, filed with the SEC on December 13, 2021.

Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities
