MARCH 31, 2023

Note 1 – Description of Organization and Business Operations and Liquidity

Sagaliam Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the state of Delaware on March 31, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”).

The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. 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.

~~The~~As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company ishad not ~~limited~~yet commenced any operations. All activity through March 31, 2023 relates to athe ~~particular~~Company’s ~~industry~~formation, orinitial ~~geographic~~public ~~region~~offering ~~for~~(“Initial ~~purposes~~Public ofOffering”) ~~consummating~~and search for a ~~Business~~business ~~Combination~~combination target. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until its initial business combination. The registration statement for the isCompany’s anInitial ~~early~~Public ~~stage~~Offering ~~and~~was ~~emerging~~declared ~~growth~~effective ~~company~~on ~~and~~December 20, as2021. ~~such~~On December 23, 2021, the Company isconsummated ~~subject~~the Initial toPublic ~~all~~Offering of 11,500,000 units (the ~~risks~~“Units” ~~associated~~and, with ~~early~~respect ~~stage~~to ~~and~~the Class A common stock included in the Units ~~emerging~~sold, ~~growth~~the ~~companies~~“Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $115,000,000, which is described in Note 3.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through September 30, 2022 relates to the Company’s formation, initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”) and search for a business combination target. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until its initial business combination. The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on December 20, 2021. On December 23, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 11,500,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $115,000,000, which is described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 400,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to the Company’s Sponsor, Sagaliam Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $4,000,000, which is described in Note 4.

Transaction costs amounted to $8,525,729, consisting of $4,025,000 of deferred underwriting fees, $1,150,000 for the fair value of Class A shares issued to underwriter as representative shares (see Note 6), $1,634,620 for the fair value of the Founder Shares in excess of amounts paid by anchor investors (see Note 5), and $566,109 of offering costs. The Company’s remaining cash after payment of the offering costs is held outside of the Trust Account for working capital purposes.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on December 23, 2021, an amount of $10.10 per unit or an aggregate of $116,150,000 has been placed in a trust account, (the “Trust Account”) and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of 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 franchise and income tax obligations (less up to $150,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), the proceeds from this offering 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 stockholder 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 within 12 months (or up to 18 months, as applicable) from the closing of this offering, 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 stockholders.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2023

Note 1 – Description of Organization and Business Operations and Liquidity (cont.)

The Company will provide its public stockholders 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 stockholder 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 a stockholder approval of a proposed initial business combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (initially approximately $10.10 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).

The shares of Class A common stock subject to redemption are recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity as of the Public Offering, 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 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

The Company has 12 months from the closing of the Public Offering, unless such period is extended. If the Company has executed a definitive agreement and filed a proxy statement for an initial business combination within 12 months from the closing of the Public Offering, the period of time the Company will have to consummate an initial business combination will be automatically extended by an additional four months to an aggregate of 19 months without additional cost. However, if the Company is not able to consummate an initial business combination within 12 months and the Company has not entered into a definitive agreement or filed a proxy statement for an initial business combination by such date, the Company may, by resolution of the board if requested by the sponsor, extend the time available to consummate an initial business combination for an additional three months up to two times (for a total of 18 months to complete a business combination) by paying into the trust account $1,150,000 ($0.10 per share in either case) on or prior to the date of the deadline. The Company will only be able to extend the period of time to consummate a business combination by an additional three months two times (for a total of nine months) (the “Combination Period”). However, if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes (less up to $150,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to its obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s Rights, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete an initial business combination within the Combination Period.

The Sponsor, 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, private placement shares and public shares in connection with a stockholder 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.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2023

Note 1 – Description of Organization and Business Operations and Liquidity (cont.)

The Company’s Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to 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) $10.10 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 $10.10 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, 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 this offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, the Company has not asked its Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether its Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Company’s Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure that its Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.

Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern

As of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021~~2022, the Company had $~~108,353~~19 and $~~762~~3,~~040~~116, respectively, in its operating bank accounts, and working capital ( deficit) of $~~(733~~269,~~273)~~550 and $~~737~~1,~~422~~708,304, respectively.

Until the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds in operating accounts for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until ~~December~~the ~~23,~~resolution ~~2022~~of ~~(12~~the ~~months~~Pending ~~from~~Litigation ~~Public~~in ~~Offering~~the ~~plus~~GLD ~~extension~~Partners v. ~~periods~~SAGA asMatter ~~discussed above)~~ to consummate the proposed Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate the proposed Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Additionally, the Company may not have sufficient liquidity to fund the working capital needs of the Company through one year from the issuance of these financial statements. Management has determined that the liquidity ~~condition~~ condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after December 23, 2022. The Company intends to complete the proposed Business ~~Combination~~ Combination before the mandatory liquidation date. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any Business Combination by December 23, 2022. In addition, the Company may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, the Company may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through the liquidation date of ~~December 23~~November 21, ~~2022~~2024.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations, and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the financial statement. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. They do not include all information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2021~~2022 included in the Company’s 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in the Form 10-K. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for three and nine months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2022~~2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending ~~December~~ December 31, ~~2022~~2023.

The accompanying condensed statements of operations and statements of cash flows do not include comparative information for the one-day period of March 31, 2021, as there were no income/expense or cash transactions on that date.

Emerging Growth Company

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

Further, section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such 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.

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

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the 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 did not have any cash equivalents as of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021~~2022.

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021~~2022, all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in U. S. Treasury securities. The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in other income earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair value of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information.

As of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021~~2022, the Company had $~~116~~10,~~593~~109,~~288~~893 and $~~116~~9,~~157~~843,~~019~~440, respectively in marketable securities held in the Trust Account.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Common stock subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock 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, common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable Class A common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable Class A common stock are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 11,500,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheet. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period (less a provision of $150,000 for the payment of dissolution expenses on any aggregate interest not released by the Company to pay income and franchise taxes).10

~~Immediately~~SAGALIAM ~~upon~~ACQUISITION ~~the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value~~CORP. ~~There were no adjustments to the carrying value of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.~~

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption (cont.)

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021, 11,500,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheet. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period (less a provision of $150,000 for the payment of dissolution expenses on any aggregate interest not released by the Company to pay income and franchise taxes).

Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value.

There were no adjustments to the carrying value of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023.

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A – Expenses of Offering. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs directly attributable to the issuance of an equity contract to be classified in equity are recorded as a reduction in equity. Offering costs for equity contracts that are classified as assets and liabilities are expensed immediately. The Company incurred offering costs amounting to $8,525,729 consisting of $1,150,000 of underwriting fees, $4,025,000 of deferred underwriting fees, $1,150,000 for underwriting related costs recognized for representative shares, $1,634,620 for the fair value of the Founder Shares in excess of amounts paid by anchor investors (see Note 5), and $566,109 of other offering costs.

Income Taxes

The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), 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 unaudited condensed financial statement 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. Under ASC 740-270, tax expense for interim periods should be measured using an estimated annual effective tax rate. Exceptions under ASC 740-270-30-36 and ASC 740-270-25-3 include circumstances where a reliable estimate of ordinary income or loss cannot be made. The Company believes there is not a high degree of uncertainty in estimating annual pretax earnings. Therefore, the Company has used an effective tax rate method to calculate interim income tax expense. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the unaudited condensed financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021~~2022. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

Income Taxes (cont.)

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which, among other things, imposes a 1% excise tax on the fair market value of stock repurchased by publicly traded U.S. corporations and certain U.S. subsidiaries of publicly traded non-U.S. corporations beginning in 2023, with certain exceptions and adjustments (the “Excise Tax”). For purposes of calculating the Excise Tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. Because we are a Delaware corporation and our securities trade on the New York Stock Exchange, we will likely be considered a “covered corporation” within the meaning of the Inflation Reduction Act. While not free from doubt, absent any further guidance from Congress or the U.S. Department of the Treasury, there is significant risk that the Excise Tax will apply to any redemptions of our common stock after December 31, 2022, including redemptions in connection with an initial Business Combination and any amendment to our certificate of incorporation to extend the time to consummate an initial Business Combination, unless an exemption is available. In addition, the Excise Tax may make a transaction with us less appealing to potential business combination targets, and thus, potentially hinder our ability to enter into and consummate an initial Business Combination. Further, the application of the Excise Tax in the event of a liquidation after December 31, 2022 is uncertain, and could impact the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by our stockholders in connection with our liquidation.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended ~~September~~ 30March 31, ~~2022~~2023 was -0-% and -0-% respectively

Net Loss per Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Income and ~~loses~~ loses are shared pro rata between Class A common stock subject to possible redemption and non-redeemable common stock. Non-redeemable common stock includes Founder, Private Placement, and Representative Shares as these shares do not have any redemption features. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2022~~2023, nine months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2022~~ 2023 and the period March 31, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, respectively.

The calculation of diluted loss per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the rights issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the private placement that convert into 1,487,500 ordinary shares since the conversion of the rights into ordinary ~~shares~~ shares is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021~~2022, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then shares in the earnings of of the Company. As a result, diluted net loss per ordinary share is the same as basic net loss per ordinary share for the periods presented.

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2024 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company is currently reviewing what impact, if any, adoption will have on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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

Note 3 – Initial Public Offering

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 11,500,000 Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, and one right (“Public Right”). Each Public Right will entitle the holder to receive one-eighth of one share of Class A common stock at the closing of a Business Combination.

Note 4 – Private Placement

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 400,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $4,000,000. Each Private Right consists of one share of Class A common stock (“Private Placement Share”) and one right (“Private Placement Right”). Each Private Placement Right entitles the holder to receive one-eighth of one share of Class A common stock at the closing of a Business Combination.

Founder Shares

The Company’s Sponsor, 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 Company’s initial business combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and public shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its public shares if the Company does not complete its initial business combination during the Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity 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 its initial business combination during the Combination Period. In addition, the Company’s Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to vote any Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after the Proposed Public Offering (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of the Company’s initial business combination.

On April 5, 2021, the Company issued 2,875,000 shares of Class B common stock (the “Founder Shares”) to the Sponsor for $25,000 in cash, or approximately $0.009 per share, in connection with formation. Thereafter, the Sponsor transferred a total of 225,000 Founder Shares to the Company’s officers and director nominees. The transfer of the Founder Shares to the officers and director nominees is within the scope of FASB ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date and expensed when earned. Shares granted to these individuals are forfeited if their status as officer or director is terminated for any reason prior to the date of the initial business combination, and as such, there has been no stock-based compensation expense recognized in the accompanying financial statements. The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and director nominees will collectively own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Public Offering (assuming that none of the Sponsor and the Company’s officers and director nominees purchase any Public Shares in the Public Offering and excluding the Private Placement Shares and Representative’s Shares (as defined below). All share and per-share amounts have been retroactively restated.

The initial holders of the Founder Shares have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier of (i) one year after the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination or (ii) the date on which the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A common stock for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of the Company’s shares of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing 150 days after the Company’s initial business combination, the Founder Shares will no longer be subject to such transfer restrictions.

Founder Shares

A total of ten anchor investors each purchased an allocation of units as determined by the underwriters, in the Initial Public Offering at the offering price of $10.00 per unit. Pursuant to such units, the anchor investors have not been granted any shareholder or other rights in addition to those afforded to the Company’s other public shareholders. Further, the anchor investors are not required to (i) hold any units, Class A common stock or rights they may purchase in the Initial Public Offering or thereafter for any amount of time, (ii) vote any Class A common stock they may own at the applicable time in favor of the Business Combination or (iii) refrain from exercising their right to redeem their public shares at the time of the Business Combination. The anchor investors will have the same rights to the funds held in the trust account with respect to the Class A common stock underlying the units purchased in the Initial Public Offering as the rights afforded to the Company’s other public shareholders.

Each anchor investor entered into separate investment agreements with the Company and the Sponsor pursuant to which each anchor investor purchased a specified number of Units for an aggregate of 990,000 Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per unit. In addition, the Sponsor sold the ten anchor investors an aggregate of 200,000 of Founder Shares at a purchase price of $0.0029 per share. Pursuant to the investment agreements, the anchor investors have agreed to (a) vote any Founder Shares held by them in favor of the Business Combination and (b) subject any Founder Shares held by them the same lock-up restrictions as the Founder Shares held by the Sponsor.

The Company estimated the fair value of the 200,000 Founder Shares attributable to the anchor investors to be worth approximately $1,635,200 or $8.176 per share. The excess of the fair value of the Founder Shares sold over the purchase price of $580 was determined to be an offering cost in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A. Accordingly, the offering cost have been allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received.

All or a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Promissory Note may be converted on the Maturity Date into units at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the Sponsor. The units would be identical to the Company’s outstanding private placement units that were issued to the Sponsor in a private placement at the time of the Company’s initial public offering. The Promissory Note contains customary events of default, including, among others, those relating to the Company’s failure to make a payment of principal when due.

Note 7 – Stockholder’s Equity

Class A Common Stock – The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. At ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, 2021, there were 515,000 Class A common stock issued and outstanding, excluding 11,500,000 Class A A common stock subject to possible redemption.

Class B Common Stock – The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. At ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, 2021, there were 2,875,000 Class B common stock issued and outstanding.

The shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at the time of its initial business combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in and related to the closing of the initial business combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon the completion of this offering (not including the Private Placement Shares and Representative’s Shares) plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial business combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial business combination or any units issued to the Sponsor, its affiliates or certain of officers and directors upon conversion of working capital loans made to the Company).

Holders of the Class A common stock and holders of the Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders, with each share of common stock entitling the holder to one vote, except as required by law or the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

Rights – Each holder of a right will automatically receive one-eighth (1/8) of one share of Class A common stock upon consummation of a Business Combination, except in cases where we are not the surviving company in a business combination or the registered holder of a certificated right fails to tender their original rights certificate, and even if the holder of such right redeemed all shares of Class A common stock held by it in connection with a Business Combination.

No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of Public Rights in order to receive its additional shares upon consummation of a Business Combination, as the consideration related thereto has been included in the unit purchase price paid for by investors in the Proposed Public Offering.

If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination in which the Company will not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of Public Rights to receive the same per share consideration the holders of shares of Class A common stock will receive in the transaction on an as-exchanged for Class A common stock basis, and each holder of a Public Right will be required to affirmatively exchange its Public Rights in order to receive the 1/8 share underlying each Public Right (without paying any additional consideration) upon consummation of a Business Combination. More specifically, the Public Rights holder will be required to indicate its election to exchange the Public Right for the underlying shares as well as to return the original rights certificates to the Company within a fixed period of time after which period the rights will expire worthless.

Pursuant to the rights agreement, a rights holder may exchange rights only for a whole number of shares of Class A common stock. This means that the Company will not issue fractional shares in connection with an exchange of rights and rights may be exchanged only in multiples of 8 rights (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like). Fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

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 Rights will not receive any such funds with respect to their Public Rights, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Public Rights, and the Public Rights will expire worthless. Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities to holders of the Public Rights upon consummation of a Business Combination. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the rights. Accordingly, the rights may expire worthless.

Dividends

The Company has not paid any cash dividends on the common stock to date and does not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the completion of the initial Business Combination.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on March 31, 2021. We were formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, or the initial business combination. We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

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

Results of Operations

Our entire activity since inception up to ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2022~~2023, was related to our formation and Initial Public Offering. Since the Initial ~~Public~~ Public Offering, our activity has been limited to the search for a prospective initial business combination target. We will not generate ~~any~~ any operating revenues until the consummation of our initial business combination. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the ~~nine~~three months from ~~January~~Jan 1, ~~2022~~2023 through ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2022~~2023, we had a net loss of $1546,~~135~~238,~~115,~~ which consists of $1640,~~777,588~~550 in ~~formation and~~ operating costs and $~~642~~94,~~473~~312 in interest earned onfrom marketable securities held in trust account. For the three months January 1, 2022 to March 31, 2022 we had a net loss of $538,360.

For the three months ended July 1, 2022 through September 30, 2022, we had a net loss of $436,449, which consists of $958,629 in operating costs and $522,180 in interest earned from marketable securities held in trust account. For the March 31, 2021 to September 30, 2021 we had a net loss of $101,818.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On December 23, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 11,500,000 units, including 1,500,000 units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Each unit consists of one share of Class A capital stock, par value $0.0001 and one right, with each right entitling the holder to receive one-eighth (1/8) of one share of Class A common stock. The units were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $115.0 million.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 400,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit in a private placement to our sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $4.0 million. In connection with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, we issued to the representative and/or its designees 115,000 representative’s shares.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the private placement, $116.15 million ($10.10 per unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds from the private placement were placed in a trust account located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. We incurred $8,525,729 in Initial Public Offering related transaction costs, including $4,025,000 of deferred underwriting fees, 1,150,000 for the fair value of shares of Class A common stock issued to underwriters as representative shares, $1,634,620 for the fair value of the founder shares in excess of amounts paid by anchor investors, and $566,109 of offering costs.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account (less deferred underwriting commissions and income taxes payable), to complete our initial business combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

As of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021~~2022, we had $~~108,353~~19 and $~~762~~3,~~040~~116, respectively, in our operating bank accounts, $~~116~~10,~~593~~109,~~288~~ 893 and $~~116~~9,~~157~~843,~~019~~440, respectively, in marketable securities held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem our common stock in connection therewith and a working capital (deficit) of ~~($733~~269,~~273)~~550 and $~~737~~1,~~422~~708,304, respectively. Until the ~~consummation~~ consummation of a business combination, we will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective ~~acquisition~~ acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target ~~business~~ business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the initial business combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete an initial business combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the trust account released to us. In the event that an initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until ~~December~~November 2321, ~~2022~~2023 (12conditioned ~~months~~upon ~~from~~the shareholder ~~Public~~vote ~~Offering~~scheduled ~~plus~~for ~~extension periods~~November as21, ~~discussed above~~2021) to consummate the proposed Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate the proposed Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Additionally, the Company may not have sufficient liquidity to fund the working capital needs of the Company through one year from the issuance of these financial statements. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after ~~December~~November 2321, ~~2022~~2024. The Company intends to complete the proposed Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any Business Combination by ~~December~~November 2321, ~~2022~~2024. In addition, the Company may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, the Company may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, ~~which~~ which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially ~~acceptable~~ acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through the liquidation date of ~~December~~November 2321, ~~2022~~2024.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2022~~2023.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than, an agreement to pay our sponsor a monthly fee of $20,000 for cash salary, office space, utilities, secretarial, and administrative support services. We began incurring these fees on May 1, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly for up to 12 months (or up to 18 months as applicable) following our completion of the Initial Public Offering.

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per unit, up to $4,025,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete the initial business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2022~~2023, all of the assets held in the Trust Account were invested in U.S. Treasury securities. Our investments held in the ~~Trust~~ Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of ~~each~~ each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in ~~other~~ other income earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account in the accompanying statement of operations. The estimated fair value of of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information.

As of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2022~~2023, we had $~~116~~10,~~593~~109,~~288~~891.92 in marketable securities held in the Trust Account.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Common stock subject to ~~mandatory~~ mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock 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 our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. Our common stock feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. We recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable class A common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable class A common stock are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

In GLD Partners LP and Sponsor Member LLC vs Sagaliam Acquisition Corp, Case No. 1:99-mc-09999 filed on 7 Nov 23 (US District Court for the District of Delaware) claims are asserted that the transaction with VIRO and BGEN disenfranchises GLD of its voting rights.

The Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit and believes that it has no basis in fact or law. In a 13D submitted by GLD Sponsor Member, LLC on April 25, 2023 it is disclosed that GLD Sponsor Member entered into an Insider Letter on December 20, 2022 including the provision to: “vote any shares of Common Stock owned by it in favor of any proposed Business Combination”. The extension proxy is a necessary precondition to the Business Combination Agreement, and is thus included in the parameters of the voting agreement included in the Insider Letter.

In Supraeon Investments Inc. vs Sagaliam Acquisition Corp, Case No. filed on 15 Sep 23 (Superior Court of the State of Delaware) claims are asserted that the Company owes a $1,000,000 termination fee in connection with the previously proposed AEC acquisition. GLD is the controlling entity of Supraeon.

The Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit, and believes that it has no basis in fact or law. In an 8-K submitted by the Company on March 1, 2023 it was noted that “Sagaliam contends that it has no obligation to pay a termination fee.” It is the belief of the Company that there is no termination fee owed, and as a result of conflicts amongst multiple entities controlled by GLD, if a termination fee were to be owed, it would be owed by GLD.

Mr. Barry Kostiner, our Chief Executive Officer and one of our Directors, is a named defendant in an ongoing legal proceeding which is described below.

In Re Argon Credit, LLC, et al., Debtors, Case No. 16-39654 (U.S. Bankruptcy Court Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division).

On December 16, 2016, Argon Credit, LLC and Argon X, LLC (collectively the “Debtors”) filed petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code. On January 11, 2017, Debtors’ bankruptcy cases were converted to chapter 7 cases. On December 14, 2018, the chapter 7 trustee filed an adversary proceeding as case number 18-ap-00948 (the “Bankruptcy Complaint”) against multiple defendants, including Barry Kostiner, asserting claims for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty. As to Mr. Kostiner, the Bankruptcy Complaint alleged that, while an employee of the Debtor, he aided and abetted the former CEO of Argon Credit, Raviv Wolfe, in breaching his fiduciary duties to Argon Credit, by, among other things, knowingly participating in a scheme to funnel assets away from the Debtors and their creditors, double pledging Argon Credit’s assets, and knowingly submitting false or misleading financial reports to the Debtors’ secured lender to conceal the transfer of Argon Credit’s assets. On July 11, 2019, Mr. Kostiner, appearing through counsel, filed an answer denying all allegations against him set forth in the Bankruptcy Complaint.

On August 12, 2021, the trustee filed a Motion for the Entry of an Order Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 Approving Settlement with Mr. Kostiner. Under the terms of the proposed settlement, Mr. Kostiner would pay the trustee $35,000 in exchange for dismissal with prejudice from the suit and the exchange of mutual releases (the “Proposed Settlement”). The trustee and Mr. Kostiner each concluded that the Proposed Settlement was in their respective best interests in light of, among other things, the contested nature of the Bankruptcy Complaint, the costs that both parties would incur in connection with the litigation of same, the uncertain likelihood of recovery following protracted litigation and Mr. Kostiner’s financial condition. On September 3, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order approving the settlement, and on November 18, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order granting the motion to voluntarily dismiss the proceeding against Mr. Kostiner.

Fund Recovery Services, LLC v. RBC Capital Markets, LLC, et al., Case No. 1:20-cv-5730 (U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division.

On September 25, 2020, Fund Recovery Services, LLC (“Fund”), as assignee of Princeton Alterative Income Fund, L.P. (“PAIF”) filed a complaint in the above-referenced action asserting a variety of claims against 37 defendants, including Mr. Kostiner. On May 15, 2021, Fund filed an amended complaint against 34 of the defendants, including Mr. Kostiner (the “Amended Complaint”). The claims against Mr. Kostiner in the Amended Complaint include: (i) violation of 18 U.S.C. 1962(2) by the conduct and participation in a RICO enterprise through a pattern of racketeering activity; (ii) violation of 18 U.S.C. 1962(d) by conspiracy to engage in a pattern of racketeering activity; (iii) fraud/intentional misrepresentation; (iv) aiding and abetting fraud/intentional misrepresentation; (v) fraudulent concealment; (vi) aiding and abetting fraudulent concealment; (vii) fraudulent/intentional inducement; (viii) conversion; (ix) aiding and abetting conversion; (x) civil conspiracy; and (xi) tortious interference with contractual relations. The Amended Complaint seeks damages of approximately $240 million jointly and severally against all defendants, together with treble and punitive damages, among other relief.

The Amended Complaint, as it pertains to Mr. Kostiner, covers much of the same conduct that is the subject of the Bankruptcy Complaint described above and stems from a transaction that Argon Credit entered into with Spartan Specialty Finance, LLC (“Spartan”). Argon, a consumer finance platform that made high-interest, unsecured loans to credit-impaired borrowers, financed its loans through a revolving credit facility provided by PAIF. Mr. Kostiner was the sole member of Spartan and was also, for a period of time, the Vice President of Capital Markets at Argon. Argon and Spartan entered into an agreement whereby Spartan agreed to purchase a portfolio of loans from Argon. Spartan financed the acquisition by obtaining a loan from Hamilton Funding (“Hamilton”). The Amended Complaint alleges that PAIF had a perfected security interest in the loans that Argon improperly sold to Spartan (which were financed by Hamilton Funding), and that defendants, including Mr. Kostiner, engaged in a scheme to induce PAIF to initially lend funds, later to increase its credit line, and ultimately convert and deprive PAIF of its property by numerous acts of fraud.

On July 1, 2021, defendants, including Mr. Kostiner, filed a consolidated motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint in its entirety against them, based on the following arguments: (a) the RICO claims (Counts (1)-(2)) are time-barred; (b) Fund lacks standing to bring Counts 1-11; (c) Fund is collaterally estopped from litigating the issues that are the subject of the Amended Complaint; (d) the allegations in the Amended Complaint fail to satisfy the requirements of Rules 8 and 9(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure; (e) the Amended Complaint failed to allege a duty sufficient to support its allegations in Counts 1-7; (f) Fund failed to adequately plead the elements of a valid RICO claim; and (g) Fund failed to adequately plead the elements of any of its state law claims (Counts 3-13). By Memorandum and Order dated January 17, 2022, the Court found that the Amended Complaint failed to adequately plead the elements of count one (violation of 18 U.S.C. 1962(2) by the conduct and participation in a RICO enterprise through a pattern of racketeering activity) and count two (violation of 18 U.S.C. 1962(d) by conspiracy to engage in a pattern of racketeering activity). The Court accordingly granted Defendants’ motion to dismiss those claims, and based on the dismissal of those claims, granted the motion to dismiss the remaining claims based on state law, counts three through six, for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. The Order provides that Plaintiff has until February 8, 2022, to file a motion for leave to amend with a proposed amended complaint that adequately states a claim over which the Court has subject matter jurisdiction, otherwise the Court will issue a final judgment in accordance with its Order.

On February 22, 2022, PAIF filed a Revised Second Amended Complaint (“RSA Complaint”) against 25 defendants, including Mr. Kostiner. The RSA Complaint incorporates information from witness statements and journal entries from alleged Argon insiders. The claims against Mr. Kostiner in the RSA Complaint include: (i) fraud/intentional misrepresentation; (ii) aiding and abetting fraud/intentional misrepresentation; (iii) fraudulent concealment; (iv) aiding and abetting fraudulent concealment; (v) fraudulent/intentional inducement; (vi) conversion; (vii) aiding and abetting conversion; (viii) civil conspiracy; and (ix) tortious interference with contractual relations. The Amended Complaint seeks damages of approximately $240 million jointly and severally against all defendants, together with treble and punitive damages, among other relief.

By order dated September 30, 2022, the Court denied Fund’s motion to file a second amended complaint for failure to assert a viable RICO claim, and directed the Clerk to enter judgment dismissing Fund’s civil RICO claims with prejudice and dismissing the state-law claims for lack of supplemental jurisdiction.

In re Spartan Specialty Finance I SPV, LLC, Case No. 16-22881-rdd (U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York White Plains Division)

On June 29, 2016, Spartan filed a petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code. It did so in order to resolve a loan dispute that it had with Hamilton, including Hamilton’s alleged right to access cash accounts that Spartan had pledged as collateral. On May 26, 2017, the bankruptcy court approved a Stipulation and Agreement Resolving Debtor’s Motion for Use of Cash Collateral and Fixing Amount of Secured Claim, between Hamilton, Spartan, and Mr. Kostiner, in his individual capacity. Spartan’s bankruptcy petition was dismissed as part of the Court’s approval of the Settlement.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to include risk factors in this Quarterly Report. As of the date of this document, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our final prospectus dated December 20, 2021 and our form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC, except we may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

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

Unregistered Sales

On April 5, 2021, our sponsor purchased 2,875,000 shares of our class B common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, and later transferred a total of 225,000 shares of class B common stock to our officers and directors. The 2,875,000 shares of class B common stock include 375,000 shares subject to forfeiture if the underwriter’s over-allotment option was not exercised in full. As the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full, the 375,000 shares of class B common stock were not forfeited.

The initial holders of the class B common stock have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the founder shares until the earlier of (i) one year after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination or (ii) the date on which we consummate a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A common stock for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of our shares of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing 150 days after our initial business combination, the class B common stock will no longer be subject to such transfer restrictions.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, our sponsor purchased an aggregate of 400,000 private units in a private placement at a price of $10.00 per unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $4,000,000. The private placement units are identical to the units sold in the IPO, except they and the underlying securities are subject to certain transfer restrictions and entitled to certain registration rights as described in this report.

Ten “qualified institutional buyers” as that term is defined in Rule 144A of the Securities Act or “accredited investors” as that term is defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act (who are not affiliated with any member of our management team), whom we refer to as the anchor investors, have each purchased 9.9% of the units sold in the Initial Public Offering, or 990,000 units, excluding any units sold pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment opinion. As each anchor investor purchased 100% of the units allocated to it, in connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, our sponsor sold 20,000 founder shares to each anchor investor, or an aggregate of 200,000 founder shares to all ten anchor investors, at a purchase price of approximately $0.0029 per share.

Use of Proceeds from Registered Offering

On December 23, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 11,500,000 units, including 1,500,000 units issued to underwriters upon full exercise of their over-allotment option. EF Hutton, division of Benchmark Investments, LLC, acted as the representative of several underwriters for the Initial Public Offering. The securities sold in the Initial Public Offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-256473). The SEC declared the registration statement effective on December 20, 2021.

In connection with the Initial Public Offering, we incurred offering costs of approximately $8,525,729, including $1,150,000 of underwriting fees, $4,025,000 of deferred underwriting fees, $1,150,000 for the fair value of Class A shares issued to underwriter as representative shares, $1,634,620 for the fair value of the Founder Shares in excess of amounts paid by anchor investors, and $566,109 of other offering costs. Other incurred offering costs consisted principally of preparation fees related to the Initial Public Offering. A total of $116,150,000 of the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the private placement units, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account, maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee.

There has been no material change in the planned use of the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and private placement as is described in our final prospectus related to the Initial Public Offering.
