NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

~~June~~ September 30, 2024

Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations

Organization and General

Crown PropTech Acquisitions (the “Company” or “Crown”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on September 24, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2024, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through ~~June~~September 30, 2024, relates to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) described below, and since the closing of the IPO, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the IPO.

The Company’s sponsors are Crown PropTech Sponsor, LLC (“Crown PropTech Sponsor”), a Delaware limited liability company and CIIG Management III LLC (“CIIG”), a Delaware limited liability company, (each, a “Sponsor” and together, the “Sponsors”).

Change in Management, Sponsor and Board of Directors

On January 17, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) appointed Mr. Gavin Cuneo and Mr. Michael Minnick as co-CEOs of the Company, effective immediately.

Additionally, in connection with this appointment, each of Mr. Cuneo and Mr. Minnick entered into an Indemnity Agreement and a Letter Agreement with the Company on the same terms as the Indemnity Agreements and Letter Agreements entered into by the directors and officers of the Company at the time of the Company’s IPO. In addition, CIIG Management III LLC (“CIIG”) entered into the Letter Agreement. CIIG also entered into that certain joinder agreement to the Registration Rights Agreement as described in further detail below.

On January 17, 2023, CIIG entered into a Securities Assignment Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”), by and among Crown PropTech Sponsor, LLC (“Crown PropTech Sponsor”), CIIG and Richard Chera, whereby Crown PropTech Sponsor sold, transferred and assigned 5,662,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Company and 250,667 private placement warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares of the Company to CIIG. In connection with entry into the Assignment Agreement, CIIG (i) entered into a Letter Agreement with the Company (the “Letter Agreement”) and (ii) entered into a joinder agreement to the Registration Rights Agreement entered into by Crown PropTech Sponsor in connection with the Company’s IPO. As a result of the above transaction CIIG became a co-sponsor to Crown.

In connection with the above transaction, Crown PropTech Sponsor entered into a letter agreement dated January 17, 2023, whereby Crown PropTech Sponsor is no longer entitled to receive any payments under the administrative services agreement, and the Company is no longer required to pay any such payments. Additionally, Crown PropTech Sponsor waived their right to receive $339,107 related to the administrative services agreement.

On February 15, 2024, Gavin Cuneo notified the Company of his decision to resign as the co-chief executive officer of the Company, effective immediately.

Michael Minnick, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, assumed the role of principal financial and accounting officer of the Company effective upon Mr. Cuneo’s resignation. Mr. Minnick has served as the Company’s Co-Chief Executive Officer since January 2023.

Notice of Delisting

On February 12, 2024, the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) determined that the Company was not in compliance with Section 802.01B and 102.06e of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (the “LCM”) because the Company failed to consummate a Business Combination within the shorter of (i) the time period specified by its constitutive documents or by contract or (ii) three years. As such, the NYSE had determined to commence proceedings to delist from the NYSE the Company’s Class A ordinary shares and Units.

Trading of the Company’s securities was suspended on February 12, 2024. The NYSE applied to the SEC to delist the Company’s securities upon completion of all applicable procedures. The Company did not appeal the staff’s determination and, accordingly, the Company’s securities were delisted from the NYSE.

Trust Account

Following the closing of the IPO on February 11, 2021, an amount of $276,000,000 from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) which is invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (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 meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its tax obligations, if any, the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the private placement units will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (a) the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and (c) the redemption of the Company’s public shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination, subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public shareholders.

As discussed in Note 11, the Company’s shareholders have agreed to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial Business Combination from May 11, 2025 to March 11, 2026.

Initial Business Combination

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination.

The Company’s Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (as defined below) (net of taxes payable) at the time of the signing an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

The Company will provide its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The shareholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations, if any).

The Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption are recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

The Company has until March 11, 2026 to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). However, if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, 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, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to applicable law and as further described in the registration statement, and then seek to dissolve and liquidate.

The Company’s Sponsors, officers and directors have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, private placement shares and public shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) 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 certificate of incorporation, and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares and private placement shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.

In the event of a liquidation of the Trust Account upon the failure of the Company to consummate its initial Business Combination by March 11, 2026, Crown PropTech Sponsor (but not CIIG) has agreed that it will indemnify the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (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 $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, if any, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) 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”). However, the Company has not asked Crown PropTech Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether Crown PropTech Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that Crown PropTech Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure that Crown PropTech Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.

Proposed Business Combination

On July 2, 2025, (i) the Company (“SPAC”), (ii) Mkango (Cayman) Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a direct wholly owned Subsidiary of Lancaster (as defined below) (“Merger Sub”), (iii) Lancaster Exploration Limited, a company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“Lancaster”, and from and after the Closing, “PubCo”), and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Mkango Resources Ltd., a company organized under the laws of British Columbia, Canada (the “Selling Shareholder”), (iv) Mkango Polska s.p. Z.o.o., a company organized under the laws of Poland and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Selling Shareholder (“MKA Poland”), (v) Mkango ServiceCo UK Limited, a company organized under the laws of England and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Selling Shareholder (“Mkango ServiceCo”), and (vi) MKA Exploration Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Selling Shareholder (“MKA BVI”, and together with Lancaster, MKA Poland and Mkango ServiceCo, the “Companies” and, each, a “Company”) entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”).

The proposed Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (collectively, the “Transactions”) are expected to be consummated after the required approval by the shareholders of SPAC and the satisfaction of certain other conditions summarized below.

Business Combination Agreement

Registration Statement

As promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of the Business Combination Agreement, Lancaster will prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-4 (the “Registration Statement”), which will include a prospectus with respect to PubCo’s securities to be issued in connection with the Business Combination Agreement and a proxy statement to be distributed to SPAC’s public shareholders in connection with SPAC’s solicitation of proxies for the vote by SPAC’s shareholders with respect to the proposed business combination and other matters to be described in the Registration Statement.

Representations and Warranties

The Business Combination Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties, in each case relating to, among other things, their ability to enter into the Business Combination Agreement and their outstanding capitalization. The representations and warranties will not survive the Closing, and the Business Combination Agreement does not provide for indemnification with respect to any of the representations and warranties of the parties thereto.

Covenants

The Business Combination Agreement contains customary covenants of the parties, including, among others, covenants requiring (i) the parties to conduct their respective businesses in the ordinary course through the Closing Date, (ii) the parties not to solicit, initiate, submit, facilitate, discuss or negotiate with third parties regarding alternative transactions and comply with certain related restrictions, (iii) the parties to prepare, and PubCo to file, the Registration Statement with the SEC and (iv) SPAC and the Companies using commercially reasonable efforts to execute financing agreements raising $25.75 million or more in aggregate gross proceeds prior to or at the Closing.

Governance

The Business Combination Agreement provides that, immediately following the Closing, the board of directors of PubCo (i) will consist of one (1) director designated in writing by SPAC, reasonably acceptable to Lancaster and qualifying as an independent director, and up to six (6) other directors designated in writing by Lancaster, after consultation with SPAC, and (ii) will be divided into three (3) classes of directors with staggered terms. The management team of PubCo immediately following the Closing will consist solely of Lancaster’s current management team.

Closing; Conditions to Closing

The Closing will occur within three (3) business days following the satisfaction or waiver of all of the closing conditions, or at such other time or in such other manner as agreed upon by SPAC and the Companies in writing.

Termination

The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated and the Transactions may be abandoned at any time prior to the effective time of the Merger, as follows:

●

by mutual written consent of SPAC and Lancaster;

●

by either Lancaster or SPAC if the Closing has not occurred by March 11, 2026 (and no material breach of the Business Combination Agreement by the party seeking to terminate primarily caused or resulted in the failure of the Transactions to be consummated by such time);

●

by either Lancaster or SPAC if any governmental authority has enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced, or entered any governmental order which has become final and nonappealable and has the effect of making consummation of the Transactions illegal or otherwise preventing or prohibiting consummation of the Transactions;

●

by either the Lancaster or SPAC if the SPAC shareholders do not approve the Transactions;

●

by SPAC if the Selling Shareholder does not approve the Transactions;

●

by SPAC if the Companies fail to deliver either of the Technical Report Summary or Lancaster’s 2024 and 2023 audited financial statements on or before August 31, 2025;

●

by SPAC if: (i) any Company or any of their subsidiaries enters into bankruptcy, receivership, administration, restructuring, corporate rescue or other similar proceedings or (ii) a liquidator, administrator, restructuring officer, or similar person is appointed on behalf of a Company;

●

by either the Companies or SPAC upon a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement on the part of the other in the Business Combination Agreement or in any other agreements relating to the Transactions and such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days following receipt of a written notice of such breach; or

●

by written notice from Lancaster to SPAC if the closing of a convertible note transaction between Lancaster and CIIG Management III LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an existing sponsor of SPAC (“CIIG III”), which is conditioned on the public filing of the Registration Statement, is not consummated in accordance with the terms of the convertible note.

If the Business Combination Agreement is terminated, the Business Combination Agreement will become void and have no effect, without any liability on the part of any party thereto or its respective affiliates, officers, directors, or shareholders, other than liability of the Companies or SPAC, as the case may be, for fraud or for any willful and material breach of the Business Combination Agreement occurring prior to such termination.

Shareholder Support Agreement

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, the Selling Shareholder, SPAC, and the Companies entered into a Shareholder Support Agreement (the “Shareholder Support Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Selling Shareholder agreed to, among other things:

vote all shares in the Companies held directly or indirectly by the Selling Shareholder in favor of the Business Combination Agreement, the Transactions, and any related actions, and against any other transaction or proposal intended, or that would reasonably be expected, to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Transactions in any material respect or result in the failure to satisfy any closing condition set forth in the Business Combination Agreement;

take all actions reasonably necessary to consummate the Transactions; and

not transfer any shares in any Company held directly or indirectly by the Selling Shareholder, subject to certain exceptions.

The Selling Shareholder also agreed not to commence, join in, facilitate, assist, or encourage any claim against SPAC, Merger Sub, PubCo, the Companies, or any of their respective successors or directors challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, any provision of the Shareholder Support Agreement or alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty in connection with the evaluation, negotiation, or entry into the Business Combination Agreement or any other agreement in connection with the Transactions.

This Shareholder Support Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (a) the Expiration Time (as defined in the Shareholder Support Agreement) and (b) the mutual written agreement of SPAC, the Companies, and the Selling Shareholder.

Sponsor Support Agreement

CIIG III, the Companies, SPAC, and certain investors in SPAC named therein have executed a Sponsor Support Agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, CIIG III and certain other investors in SPAC have agreed to:

vote all of their shares of SPAC’s Founder Shares in favor of the Business Combination Agreement, the Transactions, and any related actions, and against any other transaction or proposal that would reasonably be expected, to impede, interfere with, materially delay, postpone or adversely affect the Transactions in any material respect or result in the failure to satisfy any closing conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement;

take all actions reasonably necessary to consummate the Transactions, and

not transfer or redeem any shares of SPAC’s Founder Shares or SPAC warrants held by them prior to Closing, subject to certain exceptions.

CIIG III also agreed to waive certain rights under SPAC’s organizational documents related to the adjustment of the Initial Conversion Ratio (as defined in the Sponsor Support Agreement) in connection with the Transactions. Additionally, CIIG III committed to not demand redemption of its Founder Shares or commence any claims against SPAC or the Companies related to the negotiation or execution of the Business Combination Agreement.

A portion of the PubCo Ordinary Shares issued to CIIG III with respect to the SPAC Founder Shares held by CIIG III may be placed into escrow at Closing based on the amount of Available Gross SPAC Cash (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement). Such shares are subject to release upon achieving certain share price thresholds during the Sponsor Earnout Period (as defined in the Sponsor Support Agreement). In the event of a change of control during the Sponsor Earnout Period, the vesting requirements will be deemed satisfied, and any remaining CIIG III escrow shares will be released.

This Sponsor Support Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the earliest of the valid termination of the Business Combination Agreement or mutual written agreement of the parties, provided that such termination does not relieve liability for pre-termination breaches.

Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement

In connection and concurrently with the Closing, PubCo, CIIG III, Crown PropTech Sponsor, LLC (together with CIIG III, the “Sponsors”), SPAC, and certain shareholders of the SPAC and the Company (such SPAC and Company shareholders, together with the Sponsors, the “Holders”) will enter into a Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, PubCo will grant the Holders certain registration rights with respect to their securities.

Effective upon the Closing, PubCo will file a registration statement with the SEC within 15 business days to register the resale of all Holders’ Registrable Securities on a continuous basis and will use its reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable. Holders will also be entitled to customary demand and piggyback registration rights, subject to certain limitations.

The Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement also imposes transfer restrictions on 80% of each Holder’s securities (the “Lock-Up Shares”) during the Lock-Up Period (as defined below), subject to certain adjustments. The “Lock-Up Period” is defined as the following:

Sponsors and SPAC shareholders:

●

33% released three months after the Closing Date.

●

33% released six months after the Closing Date.

●

34% released nine months after the Closing Date.

Company shareholders:

●

33% released twelve months after the Closing Date.

●

33% released eighteen months after the Closing Date.

●

34% released twenty-four months after the Closing Date.

Exceptions to the lock-up include transfers to immediate family members, affiliates, or entities controlled by the Holder, among other specified permitted transferees (provided these transferees agree to be bound by the same lock-up restrictions).

Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement

In connection and concurrently with the Closing, PubCo, SPAC, and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Warrant Agent”) will enter into an assignment, assumption and amendment agreement to the existing warrant agreement, dated February 8, 2021, between SPAC and Warrant Agent to provide holders of the SPAC’s warrants with warrants to purchase Pubco ordinary shares.

Shareholder Meetings

February 9, 2023

On February 9, 2023, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to amend and restate the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial Business Combination from February 11, 2023 to February 11, 2024 (the “2023 Extension Proposal”).

Beginning on January 31, 2023, and continuing until the Company’s February 9, 2023 extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (“Extraordinary General Meeting”), the Company and CIIG entered into certain non-redemption agreements and assignments of economic interests (the “Non-Redemption Agreements”) with certain investors (the “Non-Redeeming Investors”). The Non-Redemption Agreements provide for the assignment of economic interest of an aggregate of 1,500,000 Class B ordinary shares held by CIIG to the Non-Redeeming Investors in exchange for such Non-Redeeming Investors agreeing to hold and not redeem an aggregate of 4,000,000 Class A ordinary shares at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreements, CIIG has agreed to transfer to such Non-Redeeming Investors an aggregate of 1,500,000 Class A ordinary shares upon conversion of the Class B ordinary shares in connection with the consummation of an initial Business Combination.

In connection with the vote to approve the 2023 Extension Proposal, shareholders holding an aggregate of 23,403,515 shares of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares exercised their right to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account (as defined below).

The February 9, 2024 Non-Redemption Agreements provide for the assignment of up to 464,414 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, held by CIIG to the investors in exchange for such Investors agreeing to hold and not redeem certain public shares at the February 9, 2024 Extraordinary General Meeting.

Following the redemptions, there were 2,000,638 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding.

10August 9, 2024

On August 9, 2024, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to amend and restate the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial Business Combination from August 11, 2024 to May 11, 2025 (the “August 2024 Extension Proposal”).

In connection with the vote to approve the August 2024 Extension Proposal, shareholders holding an aggregate of 1,487,025 shares of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares exercised their right to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account (as defined below). As a result, $16,484,256 (approximately $11.09 per share) was withdrawn from the Trust Account (described below) to redeem such shares. Following the redemptions, there were 513,613 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding.

Associated with the August 9, 2024 Extraordinary General Meeting, the Company and CIIG entered into non-redemption agreements (the “August 2024 Non-Redemption Agreements”) with certain investors pursuant to which, if such investors do not redeem (or validly rescind any redemption requests on) their Class A ordinary shares of the Company (the “August 2024 Non-Redeemed Shares”) in connection with the August 9, 2024 Extraordinary General Meeting, CIIG will agree to transfer to such investors Class B ordinary shares held by CIIG immediately following the consummation of an initial Business Combination if they continue to hold such August 2024 Non-Redeemed Shares through the August 9, 2024 Extraordinary General Meeting.

The August 2024 Non-Redemption Agreements provide for the assignment of economic interest of an aggregate of 115,287 Class B ordinary shares held by CIIG to the Non-Redeeming Investors in exchange for such Non-Redeeming Investors agreeing to hold and not redeem an aggregate of 461,146 Class A ordinary shares at the August 9, 2024 Extraordinary General Meeting.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2024, the Company had cash outside the Trust Account of $425 available for working capital needs and working capital deficit of $2,~~705~~965,~~361~~964. All remaining cash held in the Trust Account is generally unavailable for the Company’s use, prior to an initial Business Combination, and is restricted for use either in a Business Combination or to redeem Class A ordinary shares. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2024, none of the amount in the Trust Account was available to be withdrawn as described above.

Through ~~June~~September 30, 2024, the Company’s ~~liquidity~~ liquidity needs were satisfied through receipt of $25,000 from the sale of the Founder Shares, the remaining net proceeds from the IPO, the sale of Private Placement Warrants, the Promissory Note (as defined below), the Working Capital Loan (as defined below) and capital ~~contributions~~ contributions from the Sponsors of $673,418.

The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. The Company lacks the financial resources it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the financial statements are issued. Although no formal agreement exists, the Sponsors are committed to extend loans as needed (see Note 6).

Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. 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 limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential merger target, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to in on commercially acceptable terms, if at all, or that its plans to consummate an initial Business Combination will be successful.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern,” management has determined that the above liquidity issues and the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution, should the Company be unable to complete a Business Combination, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has until March 11, 2026, or by the end of any extension to the Combination Period, to consummate a Business Combination. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year from the date that the financial statements are issued. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after March 11, 2026.

Risks and Uncertainties

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

Recent changes in international trade policies, tariffs and macroeconomic conditions have created and are expected to create global economic consequences. The specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and completion of a Business Combination is not determinable as of the date of these financial statements.

Note 2– Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

On October 13, 2025, the Company’s management, in consultation with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, concluded that the Company’s previously issued interim financial statements as of and for the periods ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 (the impacted period) should be restated to correct the accounting for the ~~below~~ below transactions:

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company entered into non-redemption agreements with certain investors. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, the Company reported the impact in the statement of changes in shareholders’ deficit. In accordance with the 10-K as of December 31, 2023 filed by the Company with the SEC on September 12, 2025, the Company adjusted the impact of $1,156,500 as an expense in the statement of operations for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023. For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, there was no impact to the statement of changes in shareholders’ deficit or the statement of operations for this restatement.

The transaction was determined to be a transfer of an existing equity interest between shareholders, coupled with an agreement not to redeem, the appropriate accounting is consistent with SEC Staff guidance in SAB Topic 5T (“Accounting for Expenses or Liabilities Paid by Principal Stockholder(s)”). Any value conveyed to the investor is a cost of securing financing or corporate actions, borne and funded entirely by the Sponsor, and thus would be reflected as a capital contribution to the Company, with a corresponding charge to expense in the Company’s books. No recognition of a new liability or equity instrument by the Company is warranted, as the Company is not a party to an issuance transaction and is not contractually bound to deliver shares or cash consideration to the investor.

During the ~~three~~nine month period ended ~~March~~September 3130, 2023, Crown PropTech Sponsor forgave the Company for administrative fees due Crown PropTech Sponsor. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, the Company reported this amount as a component of total other income, net on the statement of operations. In accordance with the 10-K as of December 31, 2023 filed by the Company with the SEC on September 12, 2025, the Company adjusted the impact of $339,107 as an equity contribution on the statement of changes in shareholders’ deficit for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023. For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, there was no impact to the statement of changes in shareholders’ deficit or the statement of operations for this restatement.

The Crown PropTech Sponsor’s debt forgiveness was determined to be a capital contribution by a principal ~~stockholder~~shareholder which requires recognition in the Company’s financial statements as an increase to additional paid-in capital. This treatment reflects the substance of a ~~stockholder~~shareholder capital contribution consistent with SAB Topic 5T’s guidance (“Accounting for Expenses or Liabilities Paid by Principal Stockholder(s)”).

In connection with a Securities Assignment Agreement dated January 17, 2023, the Crown PropTech Sponsor agreed to pay all expenses of the company until December 31, 2022. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, the company included these expenses as operating costs. In accordance with the 10-K as of December 31, 2023 ~~filed~~ filed by the Company with the SEC on September 12, 2025, the Company adjusted the impact of $263,040 as an equity contribution on the ~~statement~~ statement of changes in shareholders’ deficit for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023. For the three months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2023, there was no impact to the statement of changes in shareholders’ deficit or the statement of operations for this restatement.

The Securities Assignment Agreement does not give rise to a recognition or measurement event for the Company under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) with the exception of the legacy expenses of the Company that have been paid by Crown PropTech Sponsor. The legacy expenses paid on the Company’s behalf by a principal ~~stockholder~~shareholder requires recognition in the Company’s financial statements as a decrease to the relevant gain from settlement of payables and an increase to additional paid-in capital, measured based on the value of the consideration transferred to the third party at settlement. This treatment reflects the substance of a ~~stockholder~~shareholder-funded Company expense rather than a related-party exchange measured solely by stated terms and is consistent with SAB Topic 5T’s guidance and related GAAP references.

In addition to the restatements of the above items, for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, components of accumulated deficit on the statement of changes in shareholders’ ~~deficit~~ deficit were restated, resulting in no change in accumulated deficit. The restatement related to a securities assignment agreement dated ~~January~~ January 17, 2023. In the Company’s ~~June~~September 30, 2023 Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on ~~August~~March 1431, ~~2023~~2025, the company recognized $2,837,593 in accumulated deficit with an offset in the same amount. For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, there was no impact to the statement of changes in shareholders’ deficit for this restatement. Upon further review, management determined the transaction did not warrant recognition in the financial statements under SAB 5T.

The impact of the restatement on the Company’s financial statements is reflected in the following tables:

Note 3 — Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. Operating results for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2024.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on September 12, 2025.

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

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had $425 and $652 of cash and no cash equivalents as of ~~June~~September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Investments Held in Trust Account

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, ~~the~~ the Trust Account had $225,~~047~~737,~~210~~671 and $45,065,840 held in marketable securities, respectively. Such securities are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of the reporting period. Dividends earned on these securities are included in trust dividend income in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information. During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2024, the Company withdrew $016,484,256 and $2340,~~724~~209,~~846~~102 , respectively, of principal and interest income from the Trust Account in connection with redemptions. During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2023, the Company withdrew $0 and $238,305,063, respectively, of principal and interest income from the Trust Account in connection with redemptions. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company withdrew $238,305,063 of principal and dividend income from the Trust Account in connection with redemptions.

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. At ~~June~~September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has not experienced losses on ~~this~~ this account.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 2,000,638 and 4,196,485, respectively, shares of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheets.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected on the balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Net Income (Loss) per Ordinary Shares

The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as redeemable Class A ordinary shares and non-redeemable Class B ordinary shares. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Private and public warrants to purchase 14,213,333 Class A ordinary shares at $11.50 per share were issued on February 11, 2021. No warrants were exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The calculation of diluted income (loss) per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) IPO, (ii) exercise of over-allotment, and (iii) Private Placement since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share is the same as basic net income (loss) per ordinary share for the periods.

Share Based Compensation

The Company complies with ASC 718 Compensation—Stock Compensation regarding Founder Shares acquired by directors and independent advisors of the Company at prices below fair value. The acquired shares vested upon granting of the shares. The Founder Shares owned by the director (1) may not be sold or transferred, until one year after the consummation of a Business Combination, (2) are not entitled to redemption from the funds held in the Trust Account, or any liquidating distributions. If the Company does not consummate a Business Combination during the Combination Period, the Company will liquidate and the shares will become worthless.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheets.

Derivative Warrant Liabilities

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants and working capital loan options, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815-15. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

The Company accounts for its 14,213,333 ordinary share warrants issued in connection with its IPO (9,200,000) and Private Placement (5,013,333) as derivative warrant liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statements of operations.

Working Capital Loans Option

On November 30, 2021, Richard Chera, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and director agreed to loan the Company up to $1,500,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the Company (“Working Capital Loan”). At December 31, 2022, at the option of Richard Chera, the outstanding principal of $666,000 may be converted into that number of warrants equal to the outstanding principal of the note divided by $1.50 (444,000 warrants). The option (“Working Capital Loan Option”) to convert the Working Capital Loan into warrants qualified as an embedded derivative under ASC 815 and was required to be reported at fair value. On May 31, 2023, Richard Chera agreed to waive the right to convert the amounts due under the Working Capital Loan into warrants. At ~~June~~September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Working Capital Loan Option no longer existed. In accordance with ASC Topic 470, “Liabilities” the Company has determined the waiver of the right to convert is a debt modification. Given the warrants had no significant value at the time of the debt modification, there is no effect on the Company’s financial statements for the debt modification.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statements recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the period presented.

Recent Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07), which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses among other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s management has determined the adoption of ASU 2023-07 does not have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which requires disclosure of incremental income tax information within the rate reconciliation and expanded disclosures of income taxes paid, among other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s management has determined the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will not have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.

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

Securities Assignment Agreement (Restated)

On January 17, 2023, pursuant to the Securities Assignment Agreement, CIIG, acquired an aggregate of 5,662,000 Class B ordinary shares and 250,667 Private Placement Warrants of the Company from Crown PropTech Sponsor in a private transaction.

As the transaction is between the Crown PropTech Sponsor and CIIG, the transaction does not involve the Company issuing, repurchasing, or modifying its own equity or warrants. As such, there was no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In association with the Securities Assignment Agreement, the prior Sponsor agreed to pay certain operating expenses of the Company. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5T, the Company recognized an equity contribution on the statement of changes in shareholders’ deficit of $263,040 for the value of the operating expenses paid by the Crown PropTech Sponsor.

Non-Redemption Agreements (Restated)

Beginning on January 31, 2023, and continuing until the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Company and CIIG entered into the Non-Redemption Agreements with the Non-Redeeming Investors. The Non-Redemption Agreements provide for the assignment of economic interest of an aggregate of 1,500,000 Class B ordinary shares held by CIIG to the Non-Redeeming Investors in exchange for such Non-Redeeming Investors agreeing to hold and not redeem an aggregate of 4,000,000 Class A ordinary shares at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreements, CIIG has agreed to transfer to such Non-Redeeming Investors an aggregate of 1,500,000 Class A ordinary shares upon conversion of the Class B ordinary shares in connection with the consummation of an initial Business Combination. The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of the 1,500,000 Class B ordinary shares attributable to the Non-Redeeming Investors to be $1,156,500 or $0.77 per share.

In February 2024, the Company and CIIG entered into the Non-Redemption Agreements with Non-Redeeming Investors. The Non-Redemption Agreements provide for the assignment of economic interest of an aggregate of 464,414 Class B ordinary shares held by CIIG to the Non-Redeeming Investors in exchange for such Non-Redeeming Investors agreeing to hold and not redeem an aggregate of 1,857,655 Class A ordinary shares at the February 2024 Extraordinary General Meeting. Pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreements, CIIG has agreed to transfer to such Non-Redeeming Investors an aggregate of 464,414 Class A ordinary shares upon conversion of the Class B ordinary shares in connection with the consummation of an initial Business Combination. The aggregate fair value of the 464,414 Class B ordinary shares attributable to the Non-Redeeming Investors amounted to $375,981 or $0.81 per share.

Beginning on August 8, 2024, and continuing until the August 9, 2024 Extraordinary General Meeting, the Company and CIIG entered into the Non-Redemption Agreements with the Non-Redeeming Investors. The Non-Redemption Agreements provide for the assignment of economic interest of an aggregate of 115,287 Class B ordinary shares held by CIIG to the Non-Redeeming Investors in exchange for such Non-Redeeming Investors agreeing to hold and not redeem an aggregate of 461,146 Class A ordinary shares at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreements, CIIG has agreed to transfer to such Non-Redeeming Investors an aggregate of 115,287 Class A ordinary shares upon conversion of the Class B ordinary shares in connection with the consummation of an initial Business Combination. The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of the 115,287 Class B ordinary shares attributable to the Non-Redeeming Investors to be $75,341 or $0.65 per share.

Each Non-Redeeming Investor acquired from the Sponsors an indirect economic interest in the Founder Shares. The value of the Non-Redemption Agreements is reported as a component of shareholders’ deficit. The excess of the fair value of the Founder Shares was determined to be non-redemption agreement expense in accordance with SAB Topic 5T.

Note 4 — Initial Public Offering

Pursuant to the IPO, the Company sold 27,600,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, and one-third of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share.

Note 5 — Private Placement Warrants

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, Crown PropTech Sponsor and certain funds and accounts managed by subsidiaries of BlackRock, Inc. (collectively, the “Anchor Investor”) purchased an aggregate of 5,013,333 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant ($7,520,000 in the aggregate), each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the purchase price of the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the IPO to be held in the Trust Account.

Working Capital Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the initial shareholders or an affiliate of the initial shareholders or certain of the Company’s directors and officers may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination is not consummated, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

On November 30, 2021, the Company entered into a convertible note with Richard Chera, its former Chief Executive Officer and director, pursuant to which Mr. Chera agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000 (the “Convertible Note”). The Convertible Note was non-interest bearing and due on the earlier of: (i) 12 months from the date thereof or (ii) the date on which the Company consummates a Business Combination. If the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, the Company may use a portion of any funds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Convertible Note; however, no proceeds from the Trust Account may be used for such repayment if the Company does not consummate the Business Combination. Up to $1,500,000 of the Convertible Note may be converted into warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of Mr. Chera (the “Conversion Right”). The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

On May 31, 2023, the Convertible Note was amended and restated (the “A&R Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,000,000 to be due on the earlier of: (i) February 11, 2024; (ii) the date on which the Company consummates a Business Combination; or (iii) the effective date of a liquidation of the Company. Additionally, due to a waiver by Mr. Chera, the A&R Note no longer provides for the Conversion Right.

On March 28, 2025, the A&R Note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,000,000 was amended to be due on the earlier of: (i) February 11, 2026; (ii) the date on which the Company consummates a Business Combination; or (iii) the effective date of a liquidation of the Company.

Note 8 — Shareholders’ Deficit

Preference Shares —The Company is authorized to issue a total of 1,000,000 preference shares at par value of $0.0001 each. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.

Class A Ordinary Shares —The Company is authorized to issue a total of 200,000,000 Class A ordinary shares at par value of $0.0001 each. At ~~June~~September 30, 2024 ~~and~~ and December 31, 2023, there were no shares issued and outstanding (excluding 2513,~~000,638~~613 and 4,196,485 shares subject to possible redemption, respectively).

Class B Ordinary Shares —The Company is authorized to issue a total of 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares at par value of $0.0001 each. At ~~June~~September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 6,900,000 Class B ordinary shares issued or outstanding.

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

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares concurrently with or immediately following the completion of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination, the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, 20% of the total number of Class A ordinary shares outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of Class A ordinary shares by public shareholders), including 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 a Business Combination, excluding any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination and any Private Placement Warrants issued to the sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans; provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.

Note 9 — Warrants

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. The Public Warrants become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination and (b) 12 months from the closing of the IPO. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A ordinary shares underlying the Public Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration. No Public Warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption is available.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of the Company’s Business Combination, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration or redemption of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60^th business day after the closing of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. 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, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

2021

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

●

in whole and not in part;

●

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

●

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

●

to each warrant holder; and

●

if, and only if, the reported closing price of the ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before we send to the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

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 Public Warrants for redemption, as described above, its management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Public Warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Public Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Public Warrants. Accordingly, the Public Warrants may expire worthless.

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 a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per Class A ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Board 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 a Business Combination, and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates a Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 and $18.00 per share redemption trigger prices will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 100% and 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, respectively.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units being sold in the IPO, except that (x) the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions, (y) the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees and (z) the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will be entitled to registration rights. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

Note 10 — Fair Value Measurements

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

●

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

●

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

●

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

2122

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s permitted investments consist of U.S. Money Market funds. Fair values of these investments are determined by Level 1 inputs utilizing quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets.

The Company’s warrant liability for the Public Warrants is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. The fair value of the Public Warrant liability is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s management believes the Private Warrants are economically equivalent to the Public Warrants. As such, the valuation of the Private Warrants is based on the valuation of the Public Warrants. The fair value of the Private Warrant liability is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy due to the Company using quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets. At ~~June~~September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was ~~insufficient~~ insufficient trading activity for the Public Warrants to be classified as Level 1 and was classified as Level 2.

The following table presents fair value information of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

May 9, 2025

On May 9, 2025, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to amend and restate the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial Business Combination from May 11, 2025 to March 11, 2026 (the “May 2025 Extension Proposal”).

In connection with the vote to approve the May 2025 Extension Proposal, shareholders holding an aggregate of 21,807 shares of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares exercised their right to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account (as defined below). As a result approximately, $0.25 million (approximately $11.47 per share) was withdrawn from the Trust Account (described below) to redeem such shares. Following the redemptions, there were 491,806 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding.

Associated with the May 9, 2025 Extraordinary General Meeting, the Company and CIIG entered into non-redemption agreements (the “May 2025 Non-Redemption Agreements”) with certain investors pursuant to which, if such investors do not redeem (or validly rescind any redemption requests on) their Class A ordinary shares of the Company (the “May 2025 Non-Redeemed Shares”) in connection with the May 9, 2025 Extraordinary General Meeting, CIIG will agree to transfer to such investors Class B ordinary shares held by CIIG immediately following the consummation of an initial Business Combination if they continue to hold such May 2025 Non-Redeemed Shares through the May 9, 2025 Extraordinary General Meeting.

The May 2025 Non-Redemption Agreements provided for the assignment of up 115,287 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, held by CIIG to the investors in exchange for such Investors agreeing to hold and not redeem certain public shares at the May 9, 2025 Extraordinary General Meeting.

Revised A&R Note

Non-Redemption Agreements

Beginning on May 6, 2025, and continuing until the May 9, 2025 Extraordinary General Meeting, the Company and CIIG entered into the Non-Redemption Agreements with the Non-Redeeming Investors.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on September 24, 2020 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”). Our sponsors are Crown PropTech Sponsor, LLC (“Crown PropTech Sponsor”), a Delaware limited liability company and CIIG Management III LLC (“CIIG”), a Delaware limited liability company, (each, a “sponsor” and together, the “sponsors”).

The registration statement for our initial public offering (the “IPO”) became effective on February 8, 2021. On February 11, 2021, we consummated the IPO of 27,600,000 units, which included the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 3,600,000 units at the IPO price to cover over-allotments (the “Units” with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares” with respect to the one-third of one redeemable warrant included in such Units the “Public Warrant”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $276.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $15.8 million, inclusive of approximately $9.66 million in deferred underwriting commissions.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 5,013,333 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant with Crown PropTech Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $7.5 million.

Upon the closing of the IPO and the Private Placement, approximately $276.0 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the IPO and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement were placed in a Trust Account (“Trust Account”), located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only 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, as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a business combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

The NYSE informed the Company that, under NYSE rules, the Company would have six months from April 17, 2023 to file the Form 10-K with the SEC. The Company can regain compliance with the NYSE listing standards at any time prior to that date by filing its Form 10-K.

On February 12, 2024, the NYSE determined that the Company was not in compliance with Section 802.01B and 102.06e of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (the “LCM”) because the Company failed to consummate a Business Combination within the shorter of (i) the time period specified by its constitutive documents or by contract or (ii) three years.

There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our outstanding warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to consummate a business combination within the Combination Period, including any extension thereto that may be approved by our shareholders.

Settlement of Payables (Restated)

For the three and ~~six~~ nine months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2023, the Company settled payables for an aggregate of $~~381,772~~0 and $759,643, respectively, due to vendors and related parties and reported these amounts in accordance with ASC Topic 405 “Liabilities”. The settlement of the payables is reported on the statements of operations and statements of changes in shareholders’ deficit with $~~381,772~~0 and $420,536, respectively, reported in the statement of operations for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023. Included in the settled payables for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2023 was $339,107 with a related party in relation to the Administrative Services Agreement. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2023, $0 and $339,107, respectively, was recognized in the statement of changes in shareholders’ deficit for the settlement of these payables. There were no settled payables for the three or ~~six~~ nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2024.

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

The transaction was determined to be a transfer of an existing equity interest between shareholders, coupled with an agreement not to redeem, the appropriate accounting is consistent with SEC Staff guidance in SAB Topic 5T (“Accounting for Expenses or Liabilities Paid by Principal ~~Stockholder~~Shareholder(s)”). Any value conveyed to the investor is a cost of securing financing or corporate actions, borne and funded entirely by the Sponsor, and thus would be reflected as a capital contribution to the Company, with a corresponding charge to expense in the Company’s books. No recognition of a new liability or equity instrument by the Company is warranted, as the Company is not a party to an issuance transaction and is not contractually bound to deliver shares or cash consideration to the investor.

During the ~~three~~nine month period ended ~~March~~September 3130, 2023, Crown PropTech Sponsor forgave the Company for administrative fees due Crown PropTech Sponsor. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, the Company reported this amount as a component of total other income, net on the statement of operations. In accordance with the 10-K as of December 31, 2023 filed by the Company with the SEC on September 12, 2025, the Company adjusted the impact of $339,107 as an equity contribution on the statement of changes in shareholders’ deficit for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023. For the three months ended September ~~June~~ 30, 2023, there was no impact to the statement of changes in shareholders’ deficit or the statement of operations for this restatement.

In connection with a Securities Assignment Agreement dated January 17, 2023, the Crown PropTech Sponsor agreed to pay all expenses of the company until December 31, 2022. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, the company included these expenses as operating costs. In accordance with the 10-K as of December 31, 2023 filed by the Company with the SEC on September 12, 2025, the Company adjusted the impact of $263,040 as an equity contribution on the statement of changes in shareholders’ deficit for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023. For the three months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2023, there was no impact to the statement of changes in shareholders’ deficit or the statement of operations for this restatement.

Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since inception have been organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering and identifying a target company for our initial business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents held in the trust account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2024, we had a net ~~income~~loss of $~~235~~161,~~525~~227 driven by ~~income~~$260,603 inof ~~our~~operating ~~trust~~costs ~~account~~and non-redemption agreement expense of $~~281~~75,~~231~~341, partially offset by ~~$45,706~~income ofin ~~operating~~our ~~costs~~trust account of $174,717.

For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, we had net income of $~~860~~950,~~209~~666 ~~(as restated)~~ driven by a change in fair value of warrant liability of $~~284~~781,~~266,~~734 and income in our trust account for ~~$511,717~~ ~~and settled payables and amounts due to related parties of~~ $~~381~~569,~~772 (as restated)~~042, partially offset by $~~317~~400,~~546~~110 of operating ~~costs~~ ~~(as restated)~~costs.

For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2024, we had a net loss of $98259,~~021~~248 driven by non-redemption agreement expense of $~~375~~451,~~981~~322 and $~~428~~688,~~256~~859 of operating costs partially offset by income in our trust account for $~~706~~880,~~216~~933.

For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, we had a net loss of $1203,~~154,310~~644 (as restated) driven by $1,~~494~~894,~~315~~425 of operating costs (as restated), non-redemption agreement expense of $1,156,500 (as restated) and a change in fair value of warrant liability of $1355,~~137~~333,~~067,~~ partially offset by income in our trust account of $2,~~213~~782,~~036~~ 078 and settled payables and amounts due to related parties of $420,536 (as restated).

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

On February 11, 2021, we consummated our IPO of 27,600,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, which included the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 3,600,000 Units at the IPO price to cover over-allotments. The Units were sold, generating gross proceeds of $276,000,000. Substantially concurrently with the closing of the IPO, we completed the private sale of 5,013,333 Private Placement Warrants to Crown PropTech Sponsor and the Anchor Investor at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $7,520,000.

Following the IPO, the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, and the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option, a total of $276,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee, and we had $1,919,091 of cash held outside of the Trust Account, after payment of costs related to the IPO, and available for working capital purposes. We incurred $16,505,915 in transaction costs, including $5,520,000 of underwriting fees, $9,660,000 of deferred underwriting fees, $795,825 of excess fair value of the Anchor Investor shares and $530,090 of other offering costs. In December 2022, the underwriters agreed to waive their right to receive any additional deferred underwriting discount.

For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2024, cash used in operating activities was $~~232~~263,~~727~~483, resulting from a net loss of $98259,~~021~~248 which was impacted by non-redemption agreement expense of $~~375~~451,~~981~~322, ~~trust~~ trust dividend income of $~~706~~880,~~216~~933 and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $~~195~~425,~~529~~376.

For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $~~772~~917,~~901~~253 (as restated), resulting from a net loss of $1203,~~154,310~~644 (as restated) which was impacted by unrealized loss on change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $1355,~~137~~333,~~067,~~ non-redemption agreement expense of $1,156,500 (as restated), trust dividend income of $2,~~213~~782,~~036~~078 and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $~~300~~556,~~878~~636 (as restated).

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had cash outside the trust account of $425 and $652 available for working capital needs and working capital deficits of $2,~~705~~940,~~361~~064 and $2,277,105, respectively. All remaining cash held in the trust account is generally unavailable for our use, prior to an initial business combination, and is restricted for use either in a business combination or to redeem ordinary shares. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2024 and December 31, ~~2022~~2023, none of the amount in the trust account was available to be withdrawn as described above.

Through ~~June~~September 30, 2024, our liquidity needs ~~were~~ were satisfied through receipt of $25,000 from the sale of the Founder Shares, the remaining net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering, the sale of Private Placement Warrants, the Promissory Note and the Convertible Note (as defined below) and capital contributions from the Sponsors of $673,418.

On November 30, 2021, we entered into a convertible note with Richard Chera, our former Chief Executive Officer and Director, pursuant to which Mr. Chera agreed to loan us up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000 (the “Convertible Note”). The Convertible Note was non-interest bearing and due on the earlier of: (i) 12 months from the date thereof or (ii) the date on which we consummate a business combination. If we do not consummate a business combination, we may use a portion of any funds held outside the trust account to repay the Convertible Note; however, no proceeds from the trust account may be used for such repayment if we do not consummate a business combination. On May 31, 2023, and effective as of January 17, 2023, the Convertible Note was amended and restated (the “A&R Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,000,000 to be due on the earlier of: (i) February 11, 2024; (ii) the date on which the Company consummates a Business Combination or (iii) the effective date of a liquidation of the Company. Additionally, due to a waiver by Mr. Chera, the A&R Note no longer provides for the Conversion Right.

3435

On March 28, 2025, and effective as of February 11, 2024, the A&R Note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,000,000 was amended to be due on the earlier of: (i) February 11, 2026; (ii) the date on which the Company consummates a Business Combination; or (iii) the effective date of a liquidation of the Company.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that the above liquidity issues and the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution, should the Company be unable to complete a Business Combination, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has until March 11, 2026, or by the end of any extension to the Combination Period, to consummate a Business Combination. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year from the date that the financial statements are issued. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after March 11, 2026.

Commitments and Contingencies

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and any ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of the working capital loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed prior to the effective date of the IPO requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggyback” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a business combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. On November 10, 2021 (but effective as of the closing of the Brivo Business Combination), and as part of the Brivo Business Combination, New Brivo, Crown PropTech Sponsor, Anchor Investor and certain other shareholders and directors and officers of Crown and Brivo entered into the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement. As part of the termination of the Business Combination, the Restated Registration Rights Agreement was automatically terminated.

Underwriting Agreement

A deferred underwriting discount of $0.35 per Unit, or $9,660,000 in the aggregate, was payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete an initial business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. In December 2022, the underwriters agreed to waive their right to receive any additional deferred underwriting discount and as a result, the Company de-recognized the related deferred underwriting discount. The Company considers the deferred underwriting discount an offering cost. Offering costs are charged to shareholders’ equity or statement of operations based on the relative value of the Public Warrants to the proceeds received from the Units sold upon the completion of the IPO. Upon the waiver of the deferred underwriting discount, a portion of the deferred underwriting discount was recorded to the statement of operations and to shareholders’ equity. For the year ended December 31, 2022, in relation to the waiver of the deferred underwriting discount, the Company recognized other income of $479,780 for offering costs related to warrant issuance and an increase in additional paid-in capital of $9,180,220.

Advisory Service Agreements

We may enlist various entities as capital market advisors to assist in the identification and consummation of an initial business combination. Fees for such services will be payable only upon consummation of an initial business combination by us.

As discussed above, on June 1, 2025, the Company engaged Jett Capital as financial advisor to advise the Company on their proposed Business Combination with Lancaster Exploration Limited, Mkango Polska S.P.Z.O.O., MKA BVI, and Mkango ServiceCo UK Limited. Except for $100,000 due upon execution of the agreement, fees for such services will be payable only upon consummation of an initial business combination by us.

3536

Administrative Support Agreement

We previously entered into an administrative agreement to pay Crown PropTech Sponsor or an affiliate thereof a total of up to $15,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services provided to members of our management team (the “Administrative Support Payments”). Pursuant to a subsequent letter agreement, Crown PropTech Sponsor is no longer entitled to receive any Administrative Support Payments and we are no longer required to pay any such payments. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we have not made any payments pursuant to the administrative agreement and do not expect to incur any related expenses in the near future. As the waiver of the Administrative Support Payments is with a related party, the Company recognized $339,107 in the statement of changes in shareholders’ deficit for the settlement of these transactions.

Attorney Fees

We incurred legal fees in connection with the proposed Brivo Business Combination, none of which were payable until consummation of the proposed Brivo Business Combination. As of December 31, 2023, we fully paid a settled amount in legal fees associated with the Brivo Business Combination.

A&R Note

On November 30, 2021, we entered into a convertible promissory note with Richard Chera, our former Chief Executive Officer and Director, pursuant to which Mr. Chera agreed to loan us up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000. On May 31, 2023, the promissory note was amended and restated in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,000,000. On March 28, 2025, the A&R Note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,000,000 was amended to be due on the earlier of: (i) February 11, 2026; (ii) the date on which the Company consummates a Business Combination; or (iii) the effective date of a liquidation of the Company. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Contractual Obligation

We do not have any long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or long-term liabilities other than described above.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Significant Accounting Policies

Non-Redemption Agreements

The Non-Redemption Agreements provide for the assignment of economic interest of ~~an aggregate of 1,500,000~~ Class B ordinary shares held by CIIG to the Non-Redeeming Investors in exchange for such Non-Redeeming Investors agreeing to hold and not redeem ~~an aggregate of 4,000,000~~ Class A ordinary shares at the Extraordinary General ~~Meeting~~Meetings. Pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreements, CIIG has agreed to transfer to such Non-Redeeming Investors an ~~aggregate of 1,500,000~~ Class A ordinary shares upon conversion of the Class B ordinary shares in connection with the consummation of an initial Business Combination. The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of the 1Class B ordinary shares attributable to the Non-Redeeming Investors to be $75,~~500~~341 (or $0.65 per share) and $451,~~000~~322 (or $0.78 per share) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company estimated the aggregate fair value of the Class B ordinary shares attributable to the Non-Redeeming Investors to be $0 (or $0.00 per share) and $1,156,500 or ($0.77 per share), respectively.

We utilized a model to determine the fair value of the Non-Redemption Agreements using observable and unobservable assumptions about current and anticipated events. Significant assumptions include the probability and timing of consummating a business combination. Significant variations in these assumptions could have a material impact to the financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2024, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

JOBS Act

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

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

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2024. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective, due solely to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the Company’s accounting for complex financial instruments and review procedures around key reconciliations including accruals and payables. As a result, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.

Management has identified a material weakness in internal controls related to the accounting for complex financial instruments and review procedures around key reconciliations including accruals and payables. While we have processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, we plan to continue to enhance our system of evaluating and implementing the accounting standards that apply to our financial statements, including through enhanced analyses by our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

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

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2024, covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the search for a potential target business. We are not currently aware of any such proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K ~~filed~~for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on September 12, 2025 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for quarter ended March 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on October 21, 2025. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or future results. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.

The Company’s securities have been delisted from the New York Stock Exchange.

On February 12, 2024, the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) issued a press release stating that it had determined that the Company was not in compliance with Section 802.01B and 102.06e of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (the “LCM”) because the Company failed to consummate a business combination within the shorter of (i) the time period specified by its constitutive documents or by contract or (ii) three years. As such, the NYSE had determined to commence proceedings to delist from the NYSE the Company’s Class A ordinary shares and units. Trading of the Company’s securities was suspended effective as of approximately 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on February 12, 2024 and the NYSE filed a Form 25 on February 27, 2024.

We and the holders of our securities could be materially adversely impacted due to our securities being delisted from NYSE due to non-compliance with the above rules. In particular:

● the price of our securities will likely decrease as a result of the loss of market efficiencies associated with NYSE;

● holders may be unable to sell or purchase our securities when they wish to do so;

● we may become subject to shareholder litigation;

● we may lose the interest of institutional investors in our securities;

● we may lose media and analyst coverage; and

● we would likely lose any active trading market for our securities, as our securities may then only be traded on one of the over-the-counter markets, if at all.

Due to the Company not timely filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2024 and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company is not current in its SEC reporting obligations, which may result in any investment in our securities involving a greater degree of risk.

The Company filed a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 with the SEC on November 14, 2023 (the “Form 12b-25”) reporting that it required additional time to complete the Form 10-Q. Additionally, the Company filed a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 with the SEC on April 3, 2024 reporting that it acquired additional time to complete the Form 10-K. Although the Company has dedicated significant resources to the completion of finalizing its financial statements and related disclosures for inclusion in the Form 10-Q and Form 10-K, the Company was unable to file the Form 10-Q prior to the extension periods provided by the respective Notifications of Late Filing. Additional time is needed by the Company to complete its review of the financial statements included in the Form 10-Q and Form 10-K in order to ensure a complete, accurate Form 10-Q and Form 10-K. The Company is working diligently to ensure accurate disclosures are made in the Form 10-Q and Form 10-K and is working to file both reports as promptly as practicable.

As a result of the Company not being current in its SEC reporting obligations, investors need to evaluate certain decisions with respect to our securities in light of a lack of current financial information. Accordingly, any investment in our securities could involve a greater degree of risk, and such lack of current public information may have an adverse impact on investor confidence.

Changes to laws or regulations or in how such laws or regulations are interpreted or applied, or a failure to comply with any laws, regulations, may adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination and results of operations.

We are subject to laws and regulations, and interpretations and applications of such laws and regulations, of national, regional, state and local governments and applicable non-U.S. jurisdictions. In particular, we are required to comply with certain SEC and potentially other legal and regulatory requirements, and our consummation of an initial business combination may be contingent upon our ability to comply with certain laws, regulations, interpretations and applications and any post-business combination company may be subject to additional laws, regulations, interpretations and applications. Compliance with, and monitoring of, the foregoing may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time, and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete an initial business combination. A failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination.

On January 24, 2024, the SEC issued final rules (the “2024 SPAC Rules”), which became effective on July 1, 2024, that formally adopted some of the SEC’s proposed rules for SPACs that were released on March 30, 2022. The 2024 SPAC Rules, among other items, impose additional disclosure requirements in business combination transactions involving SPACs and private operating companies; amend the financial statement requirements applicable to business combination transactions involving such companies; update and expand guidance regarding the general use of projections in SEC filings, as well as when projections are disclosed in connection with proposed business combination transactions; increase the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and could impact the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The 2024 SPAC Rules may materially adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete, and the costs associated with, our initial business combination, and results of operations.

In the adopting release for the 2024 SPAC Rules, the SEC provided guidance that a SPAC’s potential status as an “investment company” depends on a variety of factors, such as a SPAC’s duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities and “is a question of facts and circumstances” requiring individualized analysis. If our facts and circumstances change over time, we will update our disclosure in future filings with the SEC to reflect how those changes impact the risk that we may be considered to be operating as an unregistered investment company.

If we were deemed to be an unregistered investment company and subject to compliance with and regulation under the Investment Company Act, we would be subject to additional regulatory burdens and expenses for which we have not allotted funds. Unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we would either register as an investment company or wind-down and abandon our efforts to complete a business combination and instead liquidate the trust account. As a result, our public shareholders may only receive their pro rata portion of the funds in the trust account that are available for distribution to public shareholders and would be unable to realize the potential benefits of an initial business combination, including the possible appreciation of the combined company’s securities, and our warrants would expire worthless.

Members of our management team and our board may have been, and may in the future be, involved in civil disputes or governmental investigations unrelated to our business.

Members of our management team and our board have been (and intend to be) involved in a wide variety of businesses. Such involvement has, and may lead to, media coverage and public awareness. As a result, members of our management team and our board may have been, and may in the future be, involved in civil disputes or governmental investigations unrelated to our business. Any such claims or investigations may be detrimental to our reputation and could negatively affect our ability to identify and complete an initial business combination and may have an adverse effect on the price of our securities.

Economic substance legislation of the Cayman Islands may adversely impact us or our operations.

The Cayman Islands, together with several other non-European Union jurisdictions, have introduced legislation aimed at addressing concerns raised by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD) Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) initiative as to offshore structures engaged in certain activities which attract profits without real economic activity. The International Tax Co-operation (Economic Substance) Act, (As Revised) (the “Economic Substance Act”) contains economic substance requirements for in-scope Cayman Islands entities which are engaged in certain “relevant activities”. As we are a Cayman Islands company, our compliance obligations will include filing an annual notification, which need to state whether we are carrying out any relevant activities and if so, whether we have satisfied economic substance tests to the extent required under the Economic Substance Act. If the Cayman Islands Tax Information Authority determines that the Company or any of its Cayman Islands subsidiaries has failed to meet the requirements imposed by the Economic Substance Act the Company may face significant financial penalties, restriction on the regulation of its business activities and/or may be struck off as a registered entity in the Cayman Islands.

As it is still a relatively new regime, it is anticipated that the Economic Substance Act and associated guidance will evolve and may be subject to further clarification and amendments. We may need to allocate additional resources to keep updated with these development, and may have to make changes to our operations in order to comply with all requirements under the Economic Substance Act. Failure to satisfy these requirements may subject us to penalties under the Economic Substance Act.

Anti-money laundering legislation, regulations and guidance and sanctions legislation may require us to adopt and maintain costly compliance procedures and may adversely impact us or our financial results.

In order to comply with legislation, regulations and guidance aimed at the prevention of money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing, and sanctions legislation the Company may be required to adopt and maintain anti-money laundering procedures, and may require subscribers and their beneficial owners, controllers or authorized persons (where applicable) (“Related Persons”) to provide evidence to verify their identity. Where permitted, and subject to certain conditions, the Company may also rely on, or delegate to, a suitable person the maintenance of our anti-money laundering procedures (including the acquisition of due diligence information).

The Company reserves the right to request such information as is necessary to verify the identity of a subscriber or their Related Persons. In the event of delay or failure on the part of the subscriber in producing any information required for verification purposes, we may refuse to accept the application, in which case any funds received will be returned without interest to the account from which they were originally debited.

The Company also reserves the right to refuse to make any redemption payment to a shareholder if directors or officers suspect or are advised that the payment of redemption proceeds to such shareholder might result in a breach of applicable anti-money laundering, sanctions or other laws or regulations by any person in any relevant jurisdiction, or if such refusal is considered necessary or appropriate to ensure compliance with any such laws or regulations in any applicable jurisdiction.

If any person in the Cayman Islands knows or suspects, or has reasonable grounds for knowing or suspecting that another person is engaged in criminal conduct or money laundering, or is involved with terrorism or terrorist financing and property, and the information for that knowledge or suspicion came to their attention in the course of business in the regulated sector, or other trade, profession, business or employment, the person will be required to report such knowledge or suspicion to (i) the Financial Reporting Authority of the Cayman Islands (“FRA”), pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands, if the disclosure relates to criminal conduct or money laundering, or (ii) a police officer of the rank of constable or higher, or the FRA, pursuant to the Terrorism Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands, if the disclosure relates to involvement with terrorism or terrorist financing and property.

We may be a passive foreign investment company, or “PFIC” or a controlled foreign corporation, or “CFC,” which could result in adverse United States federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder of our Class A ordinary shares or warrants, the U.S. Holder may be subject to adverse United States federal income tax consequences and may be subject to additional reporting requirements. Our PFIC status with respect to a U.S. Holder for our current and subsequent taxable years may depend on whether our business combination is completed during our current taxable year, and the timing and structure of the business combination, the details of which currently are unknown. Accordingly, there can be no assurances with respect to our status as a PFIC with respect to a U.S. Holder for our current taxable year or any subsequent taxable year. Our actual PFIC status for any taxable year, moreover, will not be determinable until after the end of such taxable year. In addition, if we are treated as a CFC for any taxable year, any U.S. Holder that owns 10% or more (by vote or value) of the equity of the Company for United States federal income tax purposes would be subject to the United States federal income tax rules regarding CFCs rather than the rules regarding PFICs, which also may subject such U.S. Holder to adverse United States federal income tax consequences and reporting requirements. Our CFC status with respect to a U.S. Holder for our current and subsequent taxable years may depend on whether our business combination is completed during our current taxable year, and the timing and the structure of the business combination, the details of which are currently unknown.

If we determine we are a PFIC for any taxable year (of which there can be no assurance), we will endeavor to provide to a U.S. Holder such information as the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) may require, including a PFIC annual information statement, in order to enable the U.S. Holder to make and maintain a “qualified electing fund” election, but there can be no assurance that we will timely provide such required information, and such election would be unavailable with respect to our warrants in all cases. We urge U.S. Holders to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible application of the PFIC and CFC rules.
