This report, including, without limitation, statements under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our or our management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, including with respect to our proposed business combination with Semnur (as defined below). In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may include, for example, statements about:

●

our ability to select an appropriate target business or businesses;

●

our ability to complete our initial business combination, including our proposed business combination with Semnur Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Semnur”);

●

our expectations around the performance of the prospective target business or businesses;

●

our success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers, key employees or directors following our initial business combination;

●

our officers and directors allocating their time to other businesses and potentially having conflicts of interest with our business or in approving our initial business combination;

●

our potential ability to obtain additional financing to complete our initial business combination;

●

our pool of prospective target businesses;

●

our ability to consummate an initial business combination due to the uncertainty resulting from the ongoing military action with the country of Ukraine commenced by the Russian Federation and Belarus in February 2022 and the ongoing hostilities in the Middle East, adverse changes in general economic industry and competitive conditions, or adverse changes in government regulation or prevailing market interest rates;

●

our public securities’ potential liquidity and trading;

●

the lack of a market for our securities;

●

the use of proceeds not held in the trust account or available to us from interest income on the trust account balance; or

●

the trust account not being subject to claims of third parties.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described under the heading “Risk Factors,” elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 2, 2025 and in our preliminary proxy statement/prospectus included in our registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-283019) filed with the SEC on November 6, 2024 relating to our proposed business combination with Semnur, ~~as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the SEC on April 21, 2025~~ (as may be further amended from time to time, the “Semnur Proxy Statement/Prospectus”). Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

Denali Capital Acquisition Corp.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATION

Denali Capital Acquisition Corp. (the “Company” or “Denali”) is a newly organized blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on January 5, 2022. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”).

As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from January 5, 2022 (inception) through ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, relates to the Company’s organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for and complete the initial public offering (“IPO”), identifying a target company for a business combination, and activities in connection with an initial business combination, including with respect to our proposed business combination with Semnur Pharmaceuticals, Inc (“Semnur”). The Company does not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of an initial Business Combination. The Company is generating non-operating income in the form of income from the investment of proceeds derived from the IPO. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The Company’s sponsor is Denali Capital Global Investments LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).

Financing

The registration statement for the Company’s IPO became effective on April 6, 2022. On April 11, 2022, the Company consummated the IPO of 8,250,000 units (including over-allotment of 750,000 units) (“Public Units”). Each Public Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, $0.0001 par value per share (such shares included in the Public Units, the “Public Shares”), and one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”), each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Public Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The Public Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $82,500,000, which is described in Note 3. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 510,000 units (including over-allotment of 30,000 units) (the “Private Placement Units”) to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement generating gross proceeds of $5,100,000, which is described in Note 4. Transaction costs amounted to $5,105,315, consisting of $1,650,000 of underwriting fees, $2,887,500 of deferred underwriters’ fees and $567,815 of other offering costs, and were all initially charged to shareholders’ equity.

Trust Account

Following the consummation of the IPO on April 11, 2022, a total of $84,150,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units was deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”). The net proceeds were invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company. Further, on April 12, 2023, the Company issued a press release announcing that it deposited $825,000 into the Trust Account, 50% of this amount being a loan from the Sponsor in the form of a convertible promissory note and other 50% amount was transferred directly from the remaining cash on hand balance at that time, in order to extend the period of time it has to consummate a business combination by an additional three months, from then current deadline of April 11, 2023 to July 11, 2023. On July 13, 2023, the Company issued a press release announcing that an aggregate of $825,000 has been deposited into the Company’s Trust Account in order to extend the period of time it has to consummate a business combination by an additional three months, from the then current deadline of July 11, 2023 to October 11, 2023. Furthermore, subsequently, on October 11, 2023, the Company issued another press release announcing that the Company’s shareholders extended the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination from October 11, 2023 to July 11, 2024 by electing to extend the date to consummate an initial business combination on a monthly basis for up to nine times by an additional one month each time (the “Extension”). The Sponsor (or its affiliates or permitted designees) will deposit into the Trust Account for each such one-month extension the lesser of (a) an aggregate of $50,000 or (b) $0.03 per public share that remains outstanding and is not redeemed prior to any such one-month extension, unless the closing of the Company’s initial business combination has occurred, and hence, an aggregate of $150,000 has been deposited into the Company’s Trust Account through December 31, 2023 in order to extend the period of time it has to consummate a business combination by an additional three months, from the then current deadline of October 11, 2023 to January 11, 2024. Until June 2024, there has been further deposit of an aggregate of $300,000 into the Trust Account for extension from January 11, 2024 to July 11, 2024. However, on June 4, 2024, to mitigate the risk of being deemed to have been operating as an unregistered investment company under the Investment Company Act, the Company instructed Wilmington Trust, National Association, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S. government securities or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash in an interest-bearing bank deposit account until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders, as described below. Interest on bank deposit accounts is variable and such accounts currently yield interest of approximately 3.5% per annum.

Denali Capital Acquisition Corp.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

During the shareholder’s meeting held on October 11, 2023, shareholders holding 3,712,171 public shares (after giving effect to withdrawals of redemptions) exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, approximately $40.5 million (approximately $10.92 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders. Following redemptions and through December 31, 2023, the Company had 4,537,829 public shares outstanding.

On July 10, 2024, the shareholders of the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to consider and vote upon a proposal to amend, by way of special resolution, the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company to extend (the “extension”) the date by which the Company must: (i) consummate a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses or entities; (ii) cease its operations, except for the purpose of winding up, if it fails to complete such initial business combination; and (iii) redeem 100% of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A ordinary shares”), included as part of the units sold in the Company’s IPO from July 11, 2024 to April 11, 2025, by electing to extend the date to consummate an initial business combination on a monthly basis for up to nine (9) times by an additional one month each time, unless the closing of the Company’s initial business combination has occurred, without the need for any further approval of the Company’s shareholders, provided that the Sponsor (or its affiliates or permitted designees) will deposit into the Trust Account for each such one-month extension the lesser of (a) an aggregate of $20,000 or (b) $0.02 per public share that remains outstanding and is not redeemed prior to any such one-month extension, unless the closing of the Company’s initial business combination has occurred, in exchange for a non-interest bearing promissory note payable upon consummation of an initial business combination.

In connection with the extraordinary general meeting on July 10, 2024, shareholders holding 3,785,992 public shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, approximately $43.4 million (approximately $11.47 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders. Following redemptions, the Company had 751,837 public shares outstanding.

On July 10, 2024, Company issued a convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Promissory Note 2”) in the total principal amount of up to $180,000 to Sponsor.

As of June 30, 2025, Scilex deposited aggregated total of $123,107 drawn down from the Extension Scilex Convertible Promissory Note.

From July to August, 2025, Scilex had deposited an aggregated total of $1,750 drawn down from the Extension Scilex Convertible Promissory Note to the Trust Account to extend the time the Company has to consummate an initial business combination to September 11, 2025.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The stock exchange listing rules require that the Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding any deferred underwriters’ fees and taxes payable on the interest income earned on the Trust Account). The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

Business Combination

The Company will provide the holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer in connection with the Business Combination. 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. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for 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 (initially anticipated to be $10.20 per Public Unit, plus any pro rata interest then in the Trust Account, net of taxes payable). The Public Shares subject to redemption were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”). The Company will not redeem Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 (so that it does not then become subject to the “penny stock” rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)) either prior to or upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. However, a greater net tangible asset or cash requirement may be contained in the agreement relating to the Business Combination. In shareholders’ meeting held on October 11, 2023, it was resolved to eliminate this limitation that the Company may not redeem Public Shares in an amount that would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 (the “Redemption Limitation Amendment”). If the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, including Extension (refer to Note 9), the Company will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten 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 earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s franchise and 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 liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, 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. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete the Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The founder shares are designated as Class B ordinary shares (the “founder shares”) and, except as described below, are identical to the Public Shares, and holders of founder shares have the same shareholder rights as Public Shareholders, except that (i) prior to the Company’s initial Business Combination, only holders of the founder shares have the right to vote on the appointment of directors, including in connection with the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, and holders of a majority of the founder shares may remove a member of the board of directors for any reason, (ii) the founder shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below, (iii) the Company’s initial shareholders have entered into an agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to (A) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (B) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and Public Shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide for the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares in connection with an initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination by April 11, 2025 (or as may be extended by a shareholder vote to further extend the time to consummate a business combination, as applicable), and (C) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination by April 11, 2025 (or as may be extended by a shareholder vote to further extend the time to consummate a business combination, as applicable), although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame, (iv) the founder shares will automatically convert into Public Shares concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, or earlier at the option of the holder thereof, and (v) the founder shares are entitled to registration rights. If the Company submits its initial Business Combination to its Public Shareholders for a vote, the Sponsor and each member of the Company’s management team have agreed to vote their Founder Shares and Public Shares in favor of the Company’s initial Business Combination. During an extraordinary general meeting held on October 11, 2023, a proposal was approved that Class A ordinary shares will be issued to holders of Class B ordinary shares upon the exercise of the right of a holder of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, to convert such holder’s Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis at any time and from time to time prior to the closing of an initial business combination at the election of the holder (the “Founder Share Amendment”). No such conversions have been made as of the date of this filing. Further, the Class B ordinary shares that convert into Class A ordinary shares do not possess redemption rights.

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or by a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.20 per Public Share or (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.20 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account, nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO 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 Company’s Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims.

For purposes of the Merger Agreement, Semnur’s equity value is $2,500,000,000.

Among other changes, the Amendment (i) addresses the delisting of the Company’s securities from Nasdaq and subsequent quotation on the OTC Markets, (ii) requires an extension of Denali’s combination period through December 11, 2025 (or a date mutually agreed by the parties), and (iii) extends the Outside Date for the Business Combination to September 30, 2025, subject to further extension if an Extension Amendment is in effect.

On July 22, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Merger Agreement with Semnur and Merger Sub (“Amendment No. 2”).

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern Consideration

The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the IPO had been satisfied through a payment from the Sponsor of $25,000 (see Note 5) for the founder shares and the loan under an unsecured promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) from the Sponsor of up to $400,000 (see Note 5) which was fully repaid on April 12, 2022. Subsequent to the consummation of the IPO and sale of the Private Placement Units on April 11, 2022, a total of $84,150,000 was placed in the Trust Account, and the Company had $1,515,795 of cash held outside of the Trust Account, after payment of costs related to the IPO, and available for working capital purposes. In connection with the IPO, the Company incurred $5,105,315 in transaction costs, consisting of $1,650,000 of underwriting fees, $2,887,500 of deferred underwriting fees and $567,815 of other offering costs.

As of March 31, 2025, all of the assets of $9,145,167 held in the Trust Account have been held solely in cash in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank. The Company intends to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete the Business Combination. To the extent that the Company’s share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete a 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 the Company’s growth strategies.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash of $2,736 outside of the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete the business combination, it intends to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash of $126 outside of the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete the business combination, it intends to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had a working deficit of $8,254,807. In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes the initial Business Combination, it will repay such loaned amounts without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into units of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside of the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. On April 11, 2023, the Company issued the Convertible Promissory Note (“Convertible Promissory Note 1”) in the total principal amount of up to $825,000 to the Sponsor. The Convertible Promissory Note 1 bears an interest accruing on the unpaid and outstanding total principal amount at the lowest short-term Applicable Federal Rate as in effect on the date thereof and is payable in arrears on the earlier of (i) the closing of Denali’s initial business combination and (ii) the date of the liquidation of the Company (the “Maturity Date”). Interest will be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Convertible Promissory Note 1 was issued with an initial principal balance of $412,500 (the “Initial Principal Amount”). The Sponsor has further lent loans in the aggregate amount of $430,000 on July 18, 2023, October 12, 2023 and December 29, 2023. The Sponsor has further lent an aggregate of $565,700 to the Company for the Convertible Promissory Note 1 during the year ended December 31, 2024, and additional $ 100,000 on March 21, 2025. On April 2, 2024 the Company and Sponsor agreed that, in addition to the Initial Principal Amount, the Company may request an additional aggregate amount of up to $186,800, which may be drawn down in one or more tranches at any time prior to the Maturity Date raising the total limit up to $1,200,000. On January 24, 2025, the Company and Sponsor agreed that, in addition to the Initial Principal Amount, the Company may request an additional aggregate amount of up to $591,800, which may be drawn down in one or more tranches at any time prior to the Maturity Date, raising the total limit up to $2,000,000. 

On July 10, 2024, the Company issued Convertible Promissory Note 2 in the total principal amount of up to $180,000 to Sponsor. The Convertible Promissory Note 2 was issued with an initial principal balance of $15,037, with the remaining $164,963 drawable at the Company’s request and upon the consent of the Sponsor prior to the maturity of the Convertible Promissory Note 2.

As of December 31, 2024, the outstanding amount under the Working Capital Loans in the form of the Convertible Promissory Note 1 issued to the Sponsor had exceeded the limit of $1,200,000, reaching $1,408,200, resulting in an overdrawn position. To remediate this overdrawn balance, on January 24, 2025, the Company issued a third amended and restated promissory note (the “Third Restated Note”) to amend and restate Convertible Promissory Note 1, increasing the total principal amount to $2,000,000.

As of March 31, 2025, there was an amount of $1,408,200 and $115,037 outstanding under Working Capital Loans in the form of the Convertible Promissory Note 1 and 2, respectively, issued to the Sponsor.

On July 11, 2023, the Company issued a convertible note (“FutureTech Convertible Promissory Note”) in the total principal amount of $825,000 to FutureTech Capital LLC (“FutureTech”) and 100% of such amount has been utilized to fund the required payment in order to extend the period of time to consummate a business combination. On October 11, 2023, the Company issued another convertible promissory note in the total principal amount of up to $450,000 to FutureTech. The Convertible Promissory Note was issued with an initial principal balance of $50,000, with the remaining $400,000 drawable at the Company’s request and upon the consent of FutureTech prior to the maturity of the Convertible Promissory Note. Consequently, $400,000 of such amount has been utilized to fund the required payment in order to extend the period of time to consummate a business combination from October 11, 2023 to July 11, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, there was an amount of $1,275,000 outstanding in the form of the Convertible Promissory Note issued to FutureTech. Further, the amount of $68,351 with interest at 4.80% on amount borrowed from Futuretech for the Extension was recognized as accrued interest expense – others as of March 31, 2025.

As of June 30, 2025, there was an amount of $1,574,970 and $15,037 outstanding under Working Capital Loans in the form of the Convertible Promissory Note 1 and 2, respectively, issued to the Sponsor.

On July 11, 2023, the Company issued a convertible note (“FutureTech Convertible Promissory Note”) in the total principal amount of $825,000 to FutureTech Capital LLC (“FutureTech”) and 100% of such amount has been utilized to fund the required payment in order to extend the period of time to consummate a business combination.

Consequently, $400,000 of such amount has been utilized to fund the required payment in order to extend the period of time to consummate a business combination from October 11, 2023 to July 11, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, there was an amount of $1,275,000 outstanding in the form of the Convertible Promissory Note issued to FutureTech.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will not have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet its needs through the consummation of the initial Business Combination. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

In accordance with ASC Subtopic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern”, the Company has evaluated that there are certain conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through December 11, 2025 (as extended pursuant to amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company dated April 11, 2025), the date that the Company will be required to cease all operations, except for the purpose of winding up, if a Business Combination is not consummated. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Risks and Uncertainties

In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of this action, related sanctions on the world economy and the ongoing hostilities in the Middle East are not determinable as of the date of these consolidated financial statements. The specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow is also not determinable as of the date of these consolidated financial statements.

Risks and Uncertainties

On October 2, 2024, the Company received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the staff at Nasdaq notifying the Company that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “MVLS Rule”), which requires the Company to maintain a MVLS of $50.0 million, and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(3)(A) (the “Total Assets Rule” and, together with the MVLS Rule, the “Listing Rules”), which requires the Company to maintain total assets and total revenue of at least $50.0 million each for the most recently completed fiscal year or two of the three most recently completed fiscal years, for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. The Notice was only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and had no effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq Global Market at the time of the Notice.

The Notice stated that the Company had 180 calendar days, or until ~~March 31~~ June 30, 2025, to regain compliance with the Listing Rules. To regain compliance, the Company’s MVLS needed to meet or exceed $50.0 million for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the 180-day compliance period ending on ~~March~~June 3130, 2025.The ~~Notice~~ Notice further stated that in the event the Company did not regain compliance with the Listing Rules prior to the expiration of the compliance period, it will receive written notification that its securities are subject to delisting. At that time, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal the decision to a Nasdaq Hearing Panel.

On April 2, 2025, the Company received a written letter from staff at Nasdaq stating that the Company had not regained compliance with the Listing Rules, and also that the Company was not in compliance with the Public Float Rule, which requires the Company to maintain a minimum of 1,100,000 publicly held shares for continued listing. Consequently, the Staff determined that the Company’s securities would be delisted from The Nasdaq Global Markets unless the Company requested an appeal of this determination by April 9, 2025. The Company did not appeal the Staff’s delisting determination, and the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares, warrants, and units were delisted at the opening of business on April 16, 2025. Trading of the Company’s securities on the OTC markets commenced on April 17, 2025.

On April 16, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement with Semnur and Denali Merger Sub Inc., which, among other things, addresses the delisting of the Company’s securities from Nasdaq by facilitating quotation on the OTC Markets and extending the timeframe to complete a business combination through December 11, 2025.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Principles of Consolidation

Emerging Growth Company Status

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 of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly 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. The Company did not have any cash equivalents on ~~March~~June 3130, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Cash and Investment Held in Trust Account

Prior to June 4, 2024, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of 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 which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in income on Trust Account in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investment held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Since June 4, 2024, all of the assets held in the Trust Account have been held solely in cash in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank. Interest on bank deposit accounts is variable and such accounts currently yield interest of approximately 3.5% per annum.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 825, “Financial Instruments,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the consolidated balance sheet, primarily due to its short-term nature.

Warrants

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480 and FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and meet all of the requirements for equity classification under FASB ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. The Company accounts for the 8,250,000 Public Warrants (as defined in Note 3) and 510,000 Private Placement Warrants (as defined in Note 4) as equity-classified instruments.

Convertible Debt

The Company issues debt that may have conversion features.

Convertible debt – derivative treatment – When the Company issues debt with a conversion feature, the Company must first assess whether the embedded equity-linked component is clearly and closely related to its host instruments. If a component is clearly and closely related to its host instruments, then the Company has to assess whether the conversion feature meets the requirements to be treated as a derivative, as follows: a) one or more underlying, typically the price of our common stock; b) one or more notional amounts or payment provisions or both, generally the number of shares upon conversion; c) no initial net investment, which typically excludes the amount borrowed; and d) net settlement provisions, which in the case of convertible debt generally means the stock received upon conversion can be readily sold for cash. An embedded equity-linked component that meets the definition of a derivative does not have to be separated from the host instrument if the component qualifies for the scope exception for certain contracts involving an issuer’s own equity. The scope exception applies if the contract is both a) indexed to its own stock; and b) classified in shareholders’ equity in its statement of financial position.

If the conversion feature within convertible debt meets the requirements to be treated as a derivative, the Company estimates the fair value of the embedded derivative using the Black Scholes method upon the date of issuance. If the fair value of the embedded derivative is higher than the face value of the convertible debt, the excess is immediately recognized as interest expense. The derivative shall be recorded at fair value as liability and the carrying value assigned to the host contract represents the difference between the previous carrying amount of the hybrid instrument and the fair value of the derivative; therefore, there is no gain or loss from the initial recognition and measurement of an embedded derivative that is accounted for separately from its host contract.

The ASU 2020-06 “Debt with conversion and other option”, changes the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models. It requires convertible debt instruments to be accounted for under one of the following three models: embedded derivative, substantial premium, or no proceeds allocated (traditional debt) models. It eliminates the cash conversion and beneficial conversion feature models, which will likely result in more convertible debt instruments being accounted for as a single unit. The Company has adopted this ASU in January 1, 2024, as a result of these changes, companies are no longer required to separately account for embedded conversion features solely due to a beneficial conversion or cash settlement provision, unless the feature meets the definition of a derivative under ASC 815 and does not qualify for the equity scope exception.

The conversion feature in convertible promissory notes issued by the Company in for the three month ended March 31,2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024 does not qualify for the derivative treatment. These convertible promissory notes are presented as traditional debt as of March 31,2025 and December 31, 2024, in the consolidated balance sheets.

Denali Capital Acquisition Corp.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

The conversion feature in convertible promissory notes issued by the Company in for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024 does not qualify for the derivative treatment. These convertible promissory notes are presented as traditional debt as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, in the consolidated balance sheets.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with ASC 480. Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including 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, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and are subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 43,739 and 751,837 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, respectively, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into U.S. federal law. Among other provisions, the IR Act imposes a new 1% U.S. federal excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations, effective for transactions occurring on or after January 1, 2023. Since the Company is incorporated in the Cayman Islands and is neither a U.S. domestic corporation nor a U.S. domestic subsidiary of a publicly traded foreign corporation, it is exempt from the 1% U.S. federal excise tax on stock repurchases.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital or accumulated deficit if additional paid-in capital equals to zero.

As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the ordinary shares reflected in the consolidated balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

	Shares			Amount
Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption – December 31, 2023		4,537,829		$	50,477,963

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

The Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per redeemable and non-redeemable ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable shares during the period, excluding ordinary shares subject to forfeiture. Weighted average shares were reduced for the effect of an aggregate of 93,750 founder shares that were forfeited during the three months ended June 30, 2022, due to the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option. In order to determine the net income attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income allocable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares and the undistributed income is calculated using the total net loss less dividends paid. The Company then allocated the undistributed income based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable shares.

Subsequent measurement adjustments recorded pursuant to ASC 480-10-S99-3A related to redeemable shares are treated in the same manner as dividends on redeemable shares. Class A ordinary shares are redeemable at a price determined by the Trust Account held by the Company. This redemption price is not considered a redemption at fair value. Accordingly, the adjustments to the carrying amount are reflected in the Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) using the two-class method. The Company has elected to apply the two-class method by treating the entire periodic adjustment to the carrying amount of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption like a dividend.

Based on the above, any remeasurement of the redemption value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption is considered to be dividends paid to the Public Shareholders. Warrants issued are contingently exercisable (i.e., on the later of 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the IPO). Further, Convertible Promissory Notes are also contingently exercisable upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination. For EPS purpose, the warrants and notes are anti-dilutive since they would generally not be reflected in basic or diluted EPS until the contingency is resolved. For the three months and six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have any other dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted income per ordinary share is the same as basic earnings per ordinary share for the ~~periods~~ periods presented.

The net (loss)/ income per share presented in the consolidated statements of operations is based on the following:

	Three months ended March 31, 2025			Three months ended March 31, 2024

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statements recognition and measurement of a tax position 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. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31,2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.19

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of June 30,2025 and December 31, 2024. 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 determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction and the location of all members of management, sponsors, directors, any employees, or assets to the extent employed is the United States.

The Company may be subject to potential examination by federal and state taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next 12 months.

There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2025 and 2024.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued a final standard on improvements to income tax disclosures. The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, applies to all entities subject to income taxes. For public business entities (PBEs), the new requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. For entities other than public business entities (non-PBEs), the requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company had adopt the ASU 2023-09 on January 1, 2025, and the adoption does not have material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures” (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires disaggregated disclosure of certain costs and expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion, in each relevant expense caption. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption and retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance; however, the Company does not expect a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

On April 11, 2022, the Company consummated the IPO of 8,250,000 Public Units, inclusive of 750,000 Public Units issued pursuant to the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option. The Public Units were sold at a purchase price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $82,500,000. Each Public Unit consists of one Public Share and one Public Warrant. Each Public Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Public Share at a price of $11.50 per share.

The warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the IPO and will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation (see Note 7).

NOTE 4 – PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated a private placement and the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 510,000 Private Placement Units (including 30,000 Private Placement Units pursuant to the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $5,100,000. Each whole Private Placement Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share (“Private Placement Shares”) and one warrant (“Private Placement Warrants”). Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Certain of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units were added to the net proceeds from the IPO held in the Trust Account.

If the Company does not complete a Business Combination by ~~June~~September 11, 2025 (or as may be extended by a shareholder vote to further extend the time to consummate a business combination, as applicable)(refer to Note 1), the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Units and all underlying securities will expire worthless. The Private Placement Units will not be transferable, assignable, or saleable until 30 days after the completion of an initial Business Combination, subject to certain exceptions.

NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On February 3, 2022, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,156,250 founder shares to the Sponsor in exchange for a payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor for deferred offering costs. In March 2022, the Sponsor transferred 20,000 founder shares to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company and 110,000 founder shares to certain members of the Company’s board of directors. On May 23, 2022, 93,750 founder shares were forfeited by the Sponsor as the underwriters did not exercise their over-allotment option on the remaining 375,000 Public Units (see Note 6), resulting in the Sponsor holding a balance of 1,932,500 founder shares.

The founder shares are identical to the Class A ordinary shares included in the units sold in the IPO, except that the founder shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of the Company’s initial Business Combination (see Note 7). Also, the Sponsor and each member of the Company’s management team have entered into an agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and Public Shares held by them.

The Sponsor and the Company’s directors and executive officers have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their founder shares until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of an initial Business Combination and (B) subsequent to the Company’s initial Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after an initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their Public Shares for cash, securities or other property. Any permitted transferees would be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Sponsor and the Company’s directors and executive officers with respect to any founder shares.

20The sale of the founder shares to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and to certain members of the Company’s board of directors is in the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The fair value of the 130,000 shares granted to the Company’s directors and executive officers was $1,005,964 or $7.74 per share. The founder shares were granted subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination). Compensation expense related to the founder shares is recognized only when the performance condition is of probable occurrence under the applicable accounting literature in this circumstance. As of June 30, 2025, the Company determined that a Business Combination is not considered probable until it occurs and, therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized. Stock-based compensation would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable (i.e., upon consummation of a Business Combination) in an amount equal to the number of founder shares times the fair value per share at the grant date (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the purchase of the founder shares.

On August 30, 2024, Scilex paid the Cash Consideration under the SIPA, and on September 3, 2024, the Sponsor transferred 500,000 Class B Ordinary Shares to Scilex. The Company accounted for the SIPA in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5T (“SAB Topic 5T”). The Company determined the SIPA represents a transfer of economic value that benefit to the Company as the SIPA is executed on the closing of the Merger that was contemplates by the Merger Agreement. According to SAB Topic 5T, if the Sponsor is settling an obligation or expense on behalf of the Company through a transfer of shares or other consideration, the fair value of the shares transferred less the consideration received would be recognized as an expense by the Company.

The Company estimated the fair value of the Company’s 500,000 Class B ordinary shares on September 3, 2024 transferred to Scilex by the Sponsor, which was less than the $2,000,000 Cash Consideration plus the fair value of 300,000 Scilex Shares. The Company determined that the 500,000 Class B ordinary shares were sold at premium and no expense should be recorded.

Working Capital Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors, may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans. If the Company completes a Business Combination, it would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. In the event that a Business Combination does not close the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside of the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used for such repayment.

21The 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 units of the post-business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit. On April 11, 2023, the Company issued the Convertible Promissory Note in the total principal amount of up to $825,000 to the Sponsor. The Convertible Promissory Note bears an interest accruing on the unpaid and outstanding total principal amount at the lowest short-term Applicable Federal Rate as in effect on the date thereof and is payable in arrears on the Maturity Date. Interest will be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Convertible Promissory Note was issued with an initial principal balance of $412,500. The Sponsor has further lent loans in the aggregate amount of $430,000 on July 18, 2023, October 12, 2023 and December 29, 2023. On December 29, 2023 the Company and Sponsor agreed that, in addition to the Initial Principal Amount, the Company may request an additional aggregate amount of up to $157,500, which may be drawn down in one or more tranches at any time prior to the Maturity Date, raising the total limit up to $1,000,000. On April 2, 2024, the Company and Sponsor agreed that, in addition to the Initial Principal Amount, the Company may request an additional aggregate amount of up to $186,800, which may be drawn down in one or more tranches at any time prior to the Maturity Date raising the total limit up to $1,200,000. On January 24, 2025, the Company and Sponsor agreed that, in addition to the Initial Principal Amount, the Company may request an additional aggregate amount of up to $591,800, which may be drawn down in one or more tranches at any time prior to the Maturity Date, raising the total limit up to $2,000,000. The Sponsor further lent an aggregate of $565,700 to the Company against the Convertible Promissory Note during the year ended December 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, there was an amount of $1,574,970 outstanding under Working Capital Loans in the form of the Convertible Promissory Note issued to Sponsor. Further, an amount of $110,237 with interest at 4.86% on the amount borrowed from the Sponsor was recognized as accrued interest expense – related party as of June 30, 2025.

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Registration Rights

The holders of the founder shares, Private Placement Shares and Private Placement Warrants, including any of those issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and any Private Placement Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement signed on April 6, 2022. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed after the completion of the initial Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company will bear the costs and expenses of filing any such registration statements.

The Merger Agreement contemplates that, at or prior to the closing of the business combination between the Company and Semnur (the “Closing”), Denali, Scilex, the Sponsor and certain shareholders of Denali will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement, which, among other things, will govern the registration of certain New Semnur Common Shares for resale and be effective as of the Closing.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters received a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Public Unit, or $1,650,000 in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the IPO. In addition, the underwriters will be entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Public Unit, or $2,887,500 in the aggregate, which is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters 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 November 20, 2023, the Company’s Underwriters entered into an Underwriter Letter Agreement, pursuant to which the Company’s Underwriters have agreed to receive 30%, or $866,250, of the aggregate $2,887,500 deferred underwriting commission owed to them upon the closing of the Company’s initial business combination in the form of 86,625 shares of shares of common stock of the combined company. Under the terms of the Underwriter Letter Agreement, the shares of common stock of the combined company will be issued at the Closing and the remaining aggregate $2,021,250 of deferred underwriting compensation owed will remain payable at the Closing in cash under the original terms of the underwriting agreement.

NOTE 7 – SHAREHOLDER’S DEFICIT

Preference shares – The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of March 31,2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no preference shares issued and outstanding.

Class A Ordinary Shares – The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of March 31,2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 510,000 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, excluding 751,837 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, respectively.

Class B Ordinary Shares – The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of March 31,2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 2,062,500 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding. On May 23, 2022, 93,750 Class B ordinary shares were forfeited as the underwriters did not exercise the over-allotment option on the remaining 375,000 Public Units.

Prior to the Company’s initial Business Combination, only holders of Class B ordinary shares will have the right to vote on the appointment of directors and holders of a majority of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares may remove a member of the board of directors for any reason. In addition, in a vote to continue the Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands (which requires the approval of at least two-thirds of the votes of all ordinary shares voted at a general meeting), holders of founder shares will have ten votes for every founder share and holders of Class A ordinary shares will have one vote for every Class A ordinary share and, as a result, the Company’s initial shareholders will be able to approve any such proposal without the vote of any other shareholder.

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares on the consummation of the initial Business Combination 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, approximately 20% of the sum of (i) the total number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon completion of the IPO, 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 (after giving effect to any redemptions of Class A ordinary shares by Public Shareholders), 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 Units issued to the Sponsor, its affiliates or any member of the Company’s management team upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans. Any conversion of Class B ordinary shares described herein will take effect as a compulsory redemption of Class B ordinary shares and an issuance of Class A ordinary shares as a matter of Cayman Islands law. In no event will the Class B ordinary shares convert into Class A ordinary shares at a rate of less than one-to-one. During a shareholders’ extraordinary general meeting held on October 11, 2023, a proposal was approved that Class A ordinary shares will be issued to holders of Class B ordinary shares upon the exercise of the right of a holder of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, to convert such holder’s Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis at any time and from time to time prior to the closing of an initial business combination at the election of the holder (the “Founder Share Amendment”).

Warrants

All warrants (Public Warrants and Private Warrants) will become exercisable at $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, on the later of 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the IPO; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of 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 under the circumstances specified in the warrant agreement). The warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. On the exercise of any warrant, the warrant exercise price will be paid directly to the Company and not placed in the Trust Account.

23In 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 an initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares held by the 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 an initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of an initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of Class A ordinary shares during the 20-trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates an initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, 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 or the Newly Issued Price and the $16.50 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 165% of the higher of the Market Value or the Newly Issued Price.

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 an initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares held by the 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 an initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of an initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of Class A ordinary shares during the 20-trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates an initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, 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 or the Newly Issued Price and the $16.50 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 165% of the higher of the Market Value or the Newly Issued Price.

The Company has not registered the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants at this time. However, the Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, it 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, and it will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days following the initial Business Combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed. Notwithstanding the above, if the 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, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but the Company will be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

Redemption of Warrants

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding 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, which is referred to as the 30-day redemption period; and

●

if, and only if, the last reported sale price of ordinary shares equals or exceeds $16.50 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

The Company will not redeem the warrants unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those ordinary shares is available throughout the 30-day redemption period, except if the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

If the Company calls the warrants for redemption as described above, its management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis,” the Company’s management will consider, among other factors, the cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on the Company’s shareholders of issuing the maximum number of ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Company’s warrants. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the volume weighted average price of the Class A ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants.

NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

Level 1:

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

Level 2:

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

Level 3:

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

The following tables present information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2025 ~~and~~ and December 31, 2024, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

NOTE 9 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company has adopted the guidance in ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, in the accompanying financial statements using the retrospective method of adoption.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer (“CODM”), who reviews the operating results for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company only has one operating and reportable segment.

When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews several key metrics, which include the following:

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2025			Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
	Three months ended June 30, 2025			Three months ended June 30, 2024			Six months ended June 30, 2025			Six months ended June 30, 2024

Interest expense		(2628,~~974~~345	)		(2123,~~303~~059	)		(55,319	)		(44,362	)
Interest earned on investment held in Trust Account		7818,~~971~~080			~~653~~640,~~885~~157			97,051			1,294,042

The key measures of segment profit or loss reviewed by our CODM are interest earned on investment in Trust Account and formation and operating expenses. The CODM reviews interest earned on investment in Trust Account to measure and monitor shareholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the trust agreement. Within formation and operating costs, the CODM specifically reviews professional service fee in connection with the business combination, which are a significant segment expense, and include legal fees, and advisory fees, as these represent significant costs affecting the Company’s consummation of the Business Combination. Other formation and operating costs, including accounting expenses, printing expenses, and regulatory filing fees, are reviewed in aggregate to ensure alignment with budget and contractual obligations. These expenses are monitored to manage and forecast cash available to complete a business combination within the required period.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on January 5, 2022 (inception), for the purpose of effecting an initial business combination. While we will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic region in our identification and acquisition of a target company, we intend to focus on technology, consumer and hospitality and will not complete our initial business combination with a target that is headquartered in China (including Hong Kong and Macau) or conducts a majority of its business in China (including Hong Kong and Macau). We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of our IPO and the sale of units in the Private Placement to the sponsor, additional shares, debt or a combination of cash, equity and debt.

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a business combination will be successful.

Recent Developments

2728

On April 2, 2025, the Company received a written letter from the staff at Nasdaq stating that the Company had not regained compliance with the Listing Rules, and also that the Company was not in compliance with the Public Float Rule, which requires the Company to maintain a minimum of 1,100,000 publicly held shares for continued listing. Consequently, the Staff determined that the Company’s securities would be delisted from The Nasdaq Global Markets unless the Company requested an appeal of this determination by April 9, 2025. The Company did not appeal the Staff’s delisting determination, and the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares, warrants, and units were delisted at the opening of business on April 16, 2025. Trading of the Company’s securities on the OTC markets commenced on April 17, 2025.

On January 25, 2023, we entered into the Longevity Merger Agreement, by and among Longevity, Holdco, Denali Merger Sub, Longevity Merger Sub, and the Seller Representative.

On March 29, 2023, Holdco filed a Form S-4 with the SEC to register shares of its common stock that will be issued in connection with the business combination contemplated by the Longevity Merger Agreement, as amended by Amendments Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 thereto, filed with the SEC on May 31, 2023, July 13, 2023, September 1, 2023, October 20, 2023, November 21, 2023 and December 6, 2023 respectively. On December 14, 2023, HoldCo filed a notice of effectiveness. On January 9, 2024, our shareholders held a Business Combination Meeting and voted in favor of approving the Longevity Business Combination.

As a result of the Termination Agreement, the Longevity Merger Agreement will be of no further force and effect (other than certain customary limited provisions that survive the termination pursuant to the terms of the Longevity Merger Agreement) and ancillary agreements entered into in connection with the Longevity Merger Agreement will also automatically terminate in accordance with their respective terms. As a result of the termination of the Longevity Merger Agreement, Holdco filed the Registration Withdrawal Request on Form RW on August 9, 2024, to withdraw its registration statement on Form S-4, as amended, initially filed with the SEC on March 29, 2023.  

On July 2, 2024, the Company issued a press release to announce that it entered into a letter of intent with Semnur Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Semnur”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Scilex Holding Company (“Scilex”), for a potential business combination.

On July 10, 2024, the shareholders of the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Shareholder Meeting”) to consider and vote upon a proposal to amend, by way of special resolution, the Articles to extend the date by which the Company must: (i) consummate a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses or entities (an “initial business combination”); (ii) cease its operations, except for the purpose of winding up, if it fails to complete such initial business combination; and (iii) redeem 100% of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A ordinary shares”), included as part of the units sold in the Company’s IPO that was consummated on April 11, 2022, from July 11, 2024 to April 11, 2025, by electing to extend the date to consummate an initial business combination on a monthly basis for up to nine (9) times by an additional one month each time, unless the closing of the Company’s initial business combination has occurred, without the need for any further approval of the Company’s shareholders, provided that the sponsor (or its affiliates or permitted designees) will deposit into the Trust Account for each such one-month extension the lesser of (a) an aggregate of $20,000 or (b) $0.02 per public share that remains outstanding and is not redeemed prior to any such one-month extension, unless the closing of the Company’s initial business combination has occurred, in exchange for a non-interest bearing promissory note payable upon consummation of an initial business combination.

In connection with the Shareholder Meeting, shareholders holding 3,785,992 public shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, approximately $43.4 million (approximately $11.47 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders. Following redemptions, the Company had 751,837 public shares outstanding.

On July 10, 2024, the Company issued a convertible promissory note in the total principal amount of up to $180,000 to the sponsor (the “Sponsor Extension Convertible Promissory Note”). The Sponsor Extension Convertible Promissory Note was issued with an initial principal balance of $15,037, with the remaining $164,963 drawable at the Company’s request and upon the consent of the sponsor prior to the maturity of the Sponsor Extension Convertible Promissory Note. The Sponsor Extension Convertible Promissory Note matures upon the earlier of (i) the effective date of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination and (ii) the date of the liquidation of the Company.

On August 30, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Semnur and Denali Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”).

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the total consideration to be paid at Closing by the Company to Semnur’s equityholders will be an amount equal to the quotient of (a) $2,500,000,000 divided by (b) $10.00, and will be payable in shares of common stock of New Semnur (the “New Semnur Common Shares”). In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, following the Domestication and at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”): (i) each share of common stock of Semnur issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically converted into the right to receive, without interest, a number of New Semnur Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement); (ii) each share of preferred stock of Semnur issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically converted into the right to receive, without interest, (a) one share of Series A preferred stock of New Semnur (the “New Semnur Preferred Share”) and (b) one-tenth of one New Semnur Common Share, and (iii) subject to the Company’s receipt of the Option Exchange Approval (as defined in the Merger Agreement), each option to purchase a share of Semnur common stock that is then outstanding shall be converted into the right to receive an option to purchase a number of New Semnur Common Shares as determined by the Exchange Ratio upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are in effect with respect to such option immediately prior to the Effective Time, with the exercise price thereof adjusted by the Exchange Ratio. For purposes of the Merger Agreement, Semnur’s equity value is $2,500,000,000.

29On April 16, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement with Semnur and Denali Merger Sub Inc. to update certain terms of their previously announced Business Combination. Among other changes, the Amendment (i) addresses the delisting of the Company’s securities from Nasdaq and subsequent quotation on the OTC Markets, (ii) requires an extension of Denali’s combination period through December 11, 2025 (or a date mutually agreed by the parties), and (iii) extends the Outside Date for the Business Combination to September 30, 2025, subject to further extension if an Extension Amendment is in effect.

The Merger Agreement contemplates the execution of various additional agreements and instruments, on or before the closing of the Merger, including, among others, the following:

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the sponsor and each of the Company’s directors and executive officers entered into a sponsor support agreement with the Company and Semnur (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), pursuant to which the sponsor and each of Company’s directors and executive officers has agreed to, among other things: (i) vote in favor of the Parent Shareholder Approval Matters (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and in favor of any proposal in respect of an Extension Amendment (as such terms are defined in the Merger Agreement); (ii) vote against (or otherwise withhold written consent of, as applicable) any “Business Combination” (as such term is defined in Denali’s organizational documents) or any proposal relating thereto (in each case, other than as contemplated by the Merger Agreement); (iii) vote against (or otherwise withhold written consent of, as applicable) any merger agreement or merger, consolidation, combination, sale of substantial assets, reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of or by the Company (other than the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby); (iv) vote against (or otherwise withhold written consent of, as applicable) any change in the business, management or board of directors of the Company (other than in connection with the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby); and (v) vote against (or otherwise withhold written consent of, as applicable) any proposal, action or agreement that would (a) impede, frustrate, prevent or nullify any provision of the Sponsor Support Agreement or the Merger Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) result in a breach in any respect of any covenant, representation, warranty or any other obligation or agreement of Denali or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement, (c) result in any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII of the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled or (d) change in any manner the dividend policy or capitalization of, including the voting rights of any class of capital stock of, the Company. Under the terms of the Sponsor Support Agreement, the sponsor also agreed to certain standstill provisions with respect to the ordinary shares and other equity securities of the Company held by the sponsor.

In connection with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the sponsor and Scilex entered into a Sponsor Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Sponsor Interest Purchase Agreement”) dated August 30, 2024 (the “Signing Date”). Pursuant to the Sponsor Interest Purchase Agreement, Scilex agreed to purchase 500,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Purchased Interests”), of the Company that are currently held by the sponsor. The aggregate consideration for the purchase and sale of the Purchased Interests is as follows: (i) $2,000,000 (the “Cash Consideration”) and (ii) 300,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Scilex (the “Scilex Shares”). Pursuant to the Sponsor Interest Purchase Agreement, Scilex has paid the Cash Consideration on the Signing Date and has agreed to issue the Scilex Shares to the sponsor contingent upon and following the occurrence of the Effective Time. The Purchased Interests will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into one New Semnur Common Share at the effective time of the Domestication pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement contemplates that, at or prior to the closing of the Merger, the Company and Scilex will enter into an amended and restated registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), which, among other things, will govern the registration of certain New Semnur Common Shares for resale and be effective as of the closing of the Merger.  

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into a Stockholder Agreement with Scilex (the “Stockholder Agreement”). Pursuant to the Stockholder Agreement, from and after the Effective Time, and for so long as Scilex beneficially owns any New Semnur Preferred Shares, among other things, (i) Scilex shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate each director to be nominated, elected or appointed to the Board of Directors of New Semnur (“New Semnur Board”) (each, a “Stockholder Designee” and collectively, the “Stockholder Designees”), regardless of (i) whether such Stockholder Designee is to be elected to the New Semnur Board at a meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors (or by consent in lieu of meeting) or appointed by the New Semnur Board in order to fill any vacancy created by the departure of any director or increase in the authorized number of members of the New Semnur Board, or (ii) the size of the New Semnur Board, and New Semnur will be required to take all actions reasonably necessary, and not otherwise prohibited by applicable law, to cause each Stockholder Designee to be so nominated, elected or appointed to the New Semnur Board as more fully described in the Stockholder Agreement. Scilex shall also have the right to designate a replacement director for any Stockholder Designee that has been removed from the New Semnur Board and the right to appoint a representative of Scilex to attend all meetings of the committees of the New Semnur Board. The Stockholder Agreement also provides that New Semnur will be prohibited from taking certain actions without the consent of Scilex. Such actions include, among other things, amendments to the certificate of designations designating the New Semnur Preferred Shares, increases or decreases in the size of the New Semnur Board, the incurrence of certain amounts of indebtedness and the payment of dividends on New Semnur Common Shares. In addition, the Stockholder Agreement provides that New Semnur will be prohibited from taking certain actions without the consent of Oramed (but only until the date on which all payments under the Oramed Note and all other obligations under the Oramed Note have been paid in full in cash (such date, the “Release Date”)). The actions that require Oramed’s consent include, among other things, (i) amending certain agreements, including the Stockholder Agreement, the Merger Agreement, New Semnur’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, Semnur’s 2024 Stock Option Plan, the Stockholder Support Agreement and the Debt Exchange Agreement, in each case that adversely affect the rights of capital stock held by Scilex in New Semnur, (ii) approval of the issuance of capital stock of New Semnur that would result in Scilex holding less than 55% of the outstanding shares or voting power of New Semnur, (iii) forming any subsidiary that is not wholly owned and controlled by New Semnur, (iv) permitting any option grants to Scilex Insiders (as defined therein) pursuant to Semnur’s 2024 Stock Option Plan prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement to be exercisable and (v) permitting certain compensation payments to Scilex Insiders (as defined therein).

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~ 31June 30, 2025, the sponsor lent an aggregate of $~~100~~166,~~000~~770 to the Company resulting in the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Promissory Note and the Sponsor Extension Convertible Promissory Note being increased to $1,~~523~~590,~~237~~007.

Our only activities from January 5, 2022 (inception) through ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for and complete the IPO, and, subsequent to the IPO, identifying a target company for a business combination and activities in connection with the proposed business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination. We are generating non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held after the IPO. We have incurred and will continue to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with searching for, and completing, a business combination.

For the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, we had a net loss of $~~194~~385,~~603~~ 122 which primarily consists of formation and operating expenses of $~~246~~374,~~600~~857 and interest expense of $2628,~~974~~345 being partially offset by income earned on investment held in the Trust Account of $7818,~~971~~080.

For the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2024, we ~~had~~ had a net income of $~~264~~448,~~330~~912 which primarily consists of income earned on investment held in the Trust Account of $~~653~~640,~~885~~157 partially offset by formation and operating expenses of $~~368~~168,~~252~~186 and interest expense of $2123,~~303~~059.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had a net loss of $579,725 which primarily consists of formation and operating expenses of $621,457 and interest expense of $55,319 being partially offset by income earned on investment held in the Trust Account of $97,051.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we had a net income of $713,242 which primarily consists of income earned on investment held in the Trust Account of $1,294,042 partially offset by formation and operating expenses of $536,438 and interest expense of $44,362.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $~~114~~183,~~131~~512, primarily due to a net loss of $~~194~~579,~~603~~725 for the period and the changes in current assets and liabilities of $~~159~~493,~~443~~264, primarily due to increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses of $~~132~~451,~~468~~962, increase in accrued interest expense – related party of $1735,~~209~~682 and increase in accrued interest expense – others of $919,~~766~~638. In addition, net cash used in operating activities includes non-cash adjustments to reconcile net loss from income on the Trust Account of $7897,~~971~~051.

For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2024, net ~~cash~~ cash used in operating activities was $~~374~~488,~~151~~664, primarily due to a net income of $~~264~~713,~~330~~242 for the period and the changes in current assets and liabilities of $1592,~~404~~136, primarily due to prepaid expenses of $59(37,~~423,~~306) and accounts payable and accrued expenses of $5385,~~524~~079, accrued interest expense – related party of $1124,~~430~~617 and accrued interest expense – others of $919,~~873~~746. In addition, net cash used in operating activities includes adjustments to reconcile net ~~income~~loss from income on the Trust Account of $~~653~~1,~~885~~294,042.   

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net cash provided by investing activities was $8,617,553 primarily due to cash withdraw from trust account in connection with redemption of ordinary share.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~ 31June 30, 2025, net cash used ~~provided~~in by financing activities was $~~100~~8,~~000~~450,783 primarily due to cash paid for redemption of ordinary share amounted to $8,617,553, offset by the proceeds from issuance of promissory note to related party of $~~100~~166,~~000~~770.

For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~ 31June 30, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was $~~170~~285,700 primarily due to proceeds from issuance of promissory note to related party of $285,700.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the IPO were satisfied through a payment from the sponsor and the loan under an unsecured promissory note from the sponsor of up to $400,000 (the “Promissory Note”), which was repaid after the IPO.

On April 11, 2022, we consummated the IPO of 8,250,000 Units, inclusive of 750,000 Units issued pursuant to the partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $82,500,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we consummated the sale of 510,000 Private Placement Units, inclusive of 30,000 Private Placement Units sold to the sponsor pursuant to the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option. Each whole Private Placement Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one warrant, each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The Private Placement Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $5,100,000.

Following the closing of the IPO and sale of the Private Placement Units on April 11, 2022, a total of $84,150,000 was placed in the Trust Account, and we had $1,515,795 of cash held outside of the Trust Account, after payment of costs related to the IPO, and available for working capital purposes. In connection ~~with~~ with the IPO, we incurred $5,105,315 in transaction costs, consisting of $1,650,000 of underwriting fees, $2,887,500 of deferred underwriting fees and $567,815 of other offering costs. As of ~~December~~June 3130, ~~2024~~2025, we had investment held in the Trust Account of $9548,~~021,005~~318. We intend to to use substantially all of the remaining funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete our business combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete a 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.

As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, we had cash of $~~2,736~~126 outside of the Trust Account. If we do not complete the proposed business combination, we intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a business combination.

For finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the sponsor or an affiliate of the sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If we complete the initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts, or at the lender’s discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into units of the post business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. In the event that the initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside of the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. On April 11, 2023, we issued a convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Promissory Note”) in the total principal amount of up to $825,000 to the sponsor. The Convertible Promissory Note bears an interest accruing on the unpaid and outstanding total principal amount at the lowest short-term Applicable Federal Rate as in effect on the date thereof and is payable in arrears on the maturity date. Interest will be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Convertible Promissory Note was issued with an initial principal balance of $412,500 (the “Initial Principal Balance”). The sponsor has further lent loans in the aggregate amount of $430,000 on July 18, 2023, October 12, 2023 and December 29, 2023. The sponsor further lent an aggregate of $~~565~~166,~~700~~770 to the Company against the Convertible Promissory Note during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2025. As of ~~December~~June 3130, ~~2024~~2025, ~~there~~ there was an amount of $1,~~408~~574,~~200~~970 outstanding under Working Capital Loans in the form of the Convertible Promissory Note issued to the sponsor. Further, an amount of $74110,~~555~~237 with interest at 4.86% on the amount borrowed from the sponsor was recognized as accrued interest ~~expense~~ expense – related party as of ~~December~~June 3130, ~~2024~~2025. On April 2, 2024, the Company and the sponsor agreed that, in addition to the Initial ~~Principal~~ Principal Amount, the Company may request an additional aggregate amount of up to $186,800, which may be drawn down in one or more tranches at any time prior to the maturity date raising the total limit up to $1,200,000. On January 24, 2025, we amended and restated the Convertible Promissory Note to increase the total principal amount to $2,000,000. For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, the Company ~~has~~ has drawn down a total of $~~100~~166,~~000~~770 of the additional aggregate amount available.

On July 10, 2024, the Company issued a promissory note (the “Sponsor Extension Convertible Promissory Note”) in the total principal amount of up to $180,000 to the sponsor. The Sponsor Extension Convertible Promissory Note was issued with an initial principal balance of $15,037, with the remaining $164,963 drawable at the Company’s request and upon the consent of the sponsor prior to the maturity of the Sponsor Extension Convertible Promissory Note.

On July 11, 2023, the Company issued a convertible promissory note in the total principal amount of $825,000 to FutureTech Capital LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“FutureTech”) (the “FutureTech Convertible Promissory Note”), and 100% of such amount has been utilized to fund the required payment in order to extend the period of time to consummate a business combination. On October 11, 2023, the Company issued another convertible promissory note in the total principal amount of up to $450,000 to FutureTech (the “Second FutureTech Convertible Promissory Note”). The Second FutureTech Convertible Promissory Note was issued with an initial principal balance of $50,000, with the remaining $400,000 drawable at the Company’s request and upon the consent of FutureTech prior to the maturity of the Second FutureTech Convertible Promissory Note. Consequently, $400,000 of such amount has been utilized to fund the required payment in order to extend the period of time to consummate a business combination from October 11, 2023 to July 11, 2024. As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2025, there was an amount of $1,275,000 outstanding in the form of the Convertible Promissory Note issued to FutureTech. Further, the amount of $6878,~~351~~224 with interest at 4.80% on amount borrowed from Futuretech for the Extension was recognized as accrued interest expense – others as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2025.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that we will not have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet our needs through the consummation of the initial business combination. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern”, the Company has evaluated that there are certain conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through December 11, 2025 (as extended pursuant to amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company dated April 11, 2025), the date that the Company will be required to cease all operations, except for the purpose of winding up, if a business combination is not consummated. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

If our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a business combination 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. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2025 and December 31, 2024. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Other Contractual Obligations

Registration Rights

The holders of our founder shares, Private Placement Shares and Private Placement Warrants, including any of those issued upon conversion of any Working Capital Loans (and any Private Placement Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants that may be issued upon conversion of any Working Capital Loans) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement signed on April 6, 2022. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed after the completion of our initial business combination and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. We will bear the costs and expenses of filing any such registration statements.

The Merger Agreement contemplates that, at or prior to the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), Denali, Scilex, the Sponsor and certain shareholders of Denali will enter into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “A&R Registration Rights Agreement”), which, among other things, will govern the registration of certain shares of New Semnur Common Stock for resale and be effective as of the Closing.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters received a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $1,650,000 in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the IPO. In addition, the underwriters will be entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $2,887,500 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. On November 20, 2023, the Company entered into a Deferred Discount Agreement with the underwriters and Holdco, pursuant to which the representatives of the IPO agreed to receive $866,250 of the aggregate $2,887,500 deferred fee owed to them upon the closing of the Business Combination in the form of 86,625 shares of the combined company’s common stock (the “Common Stock Consideration”). Upon the terms of the Deferred Discount Agreement, the Common Stock Consideration will be issued at the closing of the Business Combination and the remaining $2,021,250 of the aggregate deferred fee owed will remain payable at the closing of the Business Combination. The Deferred Discount Agreement will terminate in the event that the Company does not consummate the Business Combination.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Management does not believe that the Company has any critical accounting estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued a final standard on improvements to income tax disclosures. The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, applies to all entities subject to income taxes. For public business entities (PBEs), the new requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. For entities other than public business entities (non-PBEs), the requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We adopted ASU 2023-09 on January 1, 2025, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires disaggregated disclosure of certain costs and expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion, in each relevant expense caption. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption and retrospective application is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of this guidance; however, we do not expect a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Until June 4, 2024, the net proceeds of our IPO and the Private Placement held in the Trust Account were invested in U.S. government securities 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. However, on June 4, 2024, to mitigate the risk of being deemed to have been operating as an unregistered investment company under the Investment Company Act, the Company instructed Wilmington Trust, National Association, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S. government securities or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash in an interest-bearing bank deposit account. Interest on bank deposit accounts is variable and such accounts currently yield interest of approximately 3.5% per annum. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
