Results of Operations

For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had a net income of $5,200,430 and $8,894,300 which consists of formation costs and operating costs of $200,818 and $1,446,676, interest income of $1,653,462 and $1,855,035 on investments held in our Trust Account (as defined below), income related to the change in fair value of the warrant liability of $3,747,786 and $8,184,302, and income from settlement of deferred underwriters fee payable of $0 and $301,639 respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and for the period from January 18, 2021 (date of inception) through September 30, 2021, we had a net income of $3,178,568 and $2,522,310, which consists of formation costs and operating costs of $224,746 and $1,021,868, interest income of $3,341 and $4,205, and income related to the change in the fair value of the warrant liability of $3,399,973 and $3,539,973, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On May 20, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering in which we sold 25,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit generating gross proceeds of $250,000,000 before underwriting fees and expenses. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 7,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant to our Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $7,000,000. On June 30, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option, and on July 2, 2021, the underwriters purchased 1,551,482 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”) at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $15,514,820. Simultaneously with the sale of the Over-Allotment Units, the Company completed a private placement with the Sponsor for an additional 310,297 warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant (the “Additional Private Placement Warrants”), generating gross proceeds of $310,297.

Transaction costs of the Initial Public Offering amounted to $15,137,827 consisting of underwriting fees of $5,310,293 and deferred underwriting fees of $9,293,019 and $534,515 of other costs. $514,236 of the total underwriting costs were expensed in connection with the warrant liability and the balance was charged to equity. On July 2, 2021, 549,630 Class B ordinary shares were forfeited for no consideration as a result of a partial exercise of the over-allotment option.

As of September 30, 2022, we have available to us $128,313 of cash held outside of the trust account on our balance sheet and working capital deficit of $1,218,347. We will use these funds primarily to and evaluate target businesses, perform business, legal, and accounting due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a business combination. The interest income earn on the investments in the Trust Account are unavailable to fund operating expenses.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Company’s Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be repaid upon consummation of a business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of notes may be converted upon consummation of a business combination into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants will be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. In the event that a business combination does not close, 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. $150,000 and $0 was borrowed under the facility as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

On August 30, 2022, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $250,000 to be used for expenses of the Company pursuant to a promissory note (the “August 2022 Promissory Note”) . This loan is non-interest bearing and is to be forgiven upon the consummation of the Business Combination. If the loan is not forgiven, the unpaid principal balance on such loan will be payable by MariaDB. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are $150,000 in loan amounts outstanding under the August 2022 Promissory Note.

On September 14, 2022, Mangomill and the Sponsor signed an intra-group loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) whereby the Sponsor shall make available to Mangomill a loan facility in an aggregate amount of EUR263,063.50 to be advanced upon Mangomill’s written request at any time between the date of the Loan Agreement and the time and date on which the cross-border merger of MariaDB Corporation Ab with and into Mangomill becomes effective (the “Effective Time”). The Note is non-interest bearing and is payable on the Sponsor’s written demand to Mangomill, or in absence of such prior demand, all outstanding principal will be due and payable to the Sponsor on the Effective Time. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no amounts were borrowed under the facility.

The issuance of the Loan Agreement was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

The Company expects to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that if the Company is unsuccessful in consummating an initial business combination within the prescribed period of time from the closing of the IPO, the requirement that the Company cease all operations, redeem the public shares and thereafter liquidate and dissolve raises substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern. The balance sheet does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management has determined that the Company has funds that are sufficient to fund the working capital needs of the Company until the consummation of an initial business combination or the winding up of the Company as stipulated in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum of association. The accompanying financial statement has been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or entered into any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

At September 30, 2022, we did not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.

The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting fee of 2% of gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $5,000,000. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to aggregate deferred underwriting commissions of $8,750,000 consisting of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering. With the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, the underwriters were paid a cash underwriting fee of 2% of gross proceeds, or $310,297, and were entitled to an additional deferred underwriting commission of $9,293,019. The deferred underwriters’ fee was placed in the Trust Account and will be paid in cash upon the closing of a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement by and between the Company, Goldman Sachs (Asia) L.L.C. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC. In May 2022, the underwriters terminated their co-placement agreement with the Company and agreed to forfeit the deferred underwriters’ fee they were entitled to.

On January 10, 2022, the Company and MariaDB engaged J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Angel Pond Capital LLC, an affiliate of the Sponsor, as joint placement agents for proposed private placements in connection with the Proposed Business Combination (as defined in Note 10). The Company and MariaDB agreed to pay $2 million placement agent fees contingent upon the closing of the Proposed Business Combination. The Company had not incurred nor paid any such fees as of September 30, 2022. The agreement associated with this engagement expired on January 31, 2022. In May 2022, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC also agreed to forfeit any placement agent fees they were entitled to upon the closing of the Proposed Business Combination.

On March 17, 2022, the Company engaged Angel Pond Capital LLC as placement agent for proposed private placements in connection with the Proposed Business Combination. The Company has agreed to pay certain placement agent fees in connection with the engagement. The agreement associated with this engagement was terminated on June 21, 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The Company has identified the following as its critical accounting policies:

22

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

Basic income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income applicable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Consistent with FASB 480, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, as well as their pro rata share of undistributed trust earnings consistent with the two-class method, have been excluded from the calculation of income per ordinary share for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and for the period from January 18, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021. Such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of trust earnings. Diluted income per share includes the incremental number of ordinary shares to be issued to settle warrants, as calculated using the treasury method. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and for the period from January 18, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2021, the Company did not have any dilutive warrants, securities or other contracts that could potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares. As a result, diluted income per ordinary share is the same as basic income per ordinary share for all periods presented.

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share:

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:

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

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

23

Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption

The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” 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 events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at September 30, 2022, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

Through September 30, 2022, our efforts have been limited to organizational activities, activities relating to our Public Offering and since the Public Offering, the search for a target business with which to consummate an Initial Business Combination. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues. We have not engaged in any hedging activities since our inception on January 18, 2021. We do not expect to engage in any hedging activities with respect to the market risk to which we are exposed.

The net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units held in the Trust Account have been invested in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2022, due to the restatement of our May 20, 2021 balance sheet and the financial statements as of and for the period ended June 30, 2021 (the “restatements”) related to the classification of redeemable Class A Shares, which, constitutes a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

Regarding the restatement of the Company’s balance sheet included on our Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on May 26, 2021 and our Form 10-Q filed on August 6, 2021, certain redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. We had previously classified a portion of the Class A common stock in permanent equity. We restated our financial statements to classify all Class A common stock as temporary equity and any related impact, as the threshold in its charter would not change the nature of the underlying shares as redeemable and thus would be required to be disclosed outside of permanent equity. We have determined that the misstatement of the balance sheet as of May 20, 2021, and the financial statements as of and for the period ended June 30, 2021 was material based on quantitative criteria.

24

It is noted that the non-cash adjustments to the financial statements do not impact the amounts previously reported for our cash and cash equivalents or total assets. In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our audited annual financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than the implementation of the remediation activities regarding the restatement of our May 20, 2021 balance sheet and the restatement of our financial statements as of and for the period ended June 30, 2021, during the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Management has enhanced our processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements. Our updated processes include providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among 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.

None.

Except as set forth below, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our final prospectus dated February 4, 2021 filed with the SEC, except we may disclose charges 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.

Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and 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 enacted by national, regional and local governments. In particular, we will be required to comply with certain SEC and other legal requirements. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, investments and results of operations. The recent inauguration of a new administration in the U.S. could result in significant changes to regulatory policy and the promulgation of new laws and regulations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination, and results of operations. It is possible that we will become subject to different or heightened rules or requirements promulgated by the SEC or other regulators, and we may become subject to heightened or increased scrutiny by the SEC.

On March 30, 2022, the SEC proposed rules relating to, among other items, enhancing disclosures in business combination transactions involving SPACs and private operating companies; amending the financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; enhancing disclosure with regards to the use of projections in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination transactions; expanding the scope of potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. These rules, if adopted, whether in the form proposed or in revised form, may materially adversely affect our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination, may increase the costs and time related thereto.

25

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

On April 12, 2021, the Acting Director of the Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the SEC together issued a statement regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (the “SEC Statement”). Specifically, the SEC Statement focused on certain settlement terms and provisions related to certain tender offers following a business combination, which terms are similar to those contained in the warrant agreement governing our warrants.

As a result, included on our balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 contained elsewhere in this report are derivative liabilities related to embedded features contained within our warrants. Accounting Standards Codification 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”) provides for the remeasurement of the fair value of such derivatives at each balance sheet date, with a resulting non-cash gain or loss related to the change in the fair value being recognized in earnings in the statements of operations. As a result of the recurring fair value measurement, our financial statements and results of operations may fluctuate quarterly based on factors which are outside of our control. Due to the recurring fair value measurement, we expect that we will recognize non-cash gains or losses on our warrants each reporting period and that the amount of such gains or losses could be material.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On May 20, 2021, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 7,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant to the Sponsor generating gross proceeds to the Company of $7,000,000. On July 2, 2021, simultaneously with the sale of the Over-Allotment Units, the Company completed a private placement with the Sponsor for an additional 310,297 warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $310,297.Each whole Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share for $11.50 per share. This purchase took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the completion of our Initial Public Offering. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Units was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. On July 2, 2021, 549,630 Class B ordinary shares were forfeited for no consideration as a result of a partial exercise of the over-allotment option.

Use of Proceeds from the Public Offering

On May 20, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 25,000,000 Units. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, and one-third of one redeemable Warrant of the Company, with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share for $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $250,000,000.

The securities sold in the Public Offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-253990). The SEC declared the registration statement effective on May 12, 2021.

Of the gross proceeds received from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants, $250,000,000 was placed in a Trust Account. We paid a total of $5,000,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions and $534,515 for other costs and expenses related to the Initial Public

Offering. In addition, the underwriters agreed to defer $8,750,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions.
