NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2023

NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Bridgetown Holdings Limited (the “Company,” “our Company,” “we,” or “us”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on May 27, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).

The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. While the Company may pursue a Business Combination target in any business or industry, the Company has focused the search on a target with operations or prospective operations in the technology, financial services, or media sectors in Southeast Asia. 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.

All activity through June 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering that was consummated by the Company on October 20, 2020 (the “Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s search for and identification of a target for consummating a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

The Registration Statement on Form S-1 initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 23, 2020 (File No. 333-249000), as amended (the “Registration Statement”) for the Initial Public Offering was declared effective on October 15, 2020. On October 20, 2020, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 55,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares” and the warrants included in the Units sold, the “Public Warrants”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $550,000,000 (as discussed in Note 3).

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 6,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”, and together with the Public Warrants, the “warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to Bridgetown LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $9,000,000 (as discussed in Note 4).

On October 29, 2020, in connection with the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 4,499,351 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, and the sale of an additional 449,936 Private Placement Warrants, at $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total gross proceeds of $45,668,412.

Transaction costs amounted to $26,628,771, consisting of $8,174,902 of underwriting fees, net of $2,724,968 reimbursed from the underwriters (as discussed in Note 5), $17,849,805 of deferred underwriting fees (as discussed in Note 5) and $604,064 of other offering costs.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on October 20, 2020 and the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment on October 29, 2020, an amount of $594,993,510 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement (as defined in Note 4) was placed in a Trust Account (the “Trust Account”), located in the United States and was initially invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company. To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, on October 13, 2022 the Company instructed the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest bearing demand deposit account until the earlier of the consummation of the initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, as described below under “Extension of the Combination Period”.

The Company’s executive officers and directors (“Management”) has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. Nasdaq Capital Market requires that the Company’s Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing of a definitive agreement in connection with the Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.

BRIDGETOWN HOLDINGS LIMITED

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2023

The Company will provide the holders of its issued and outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company.

The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, (initially $10.00 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares. The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Shareholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 5). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the warrants.

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, only if it receives an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law approving a Business Combination, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting of the Company. If a shareholder vote is not required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company currently in effect (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transactions is required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote any Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4) and Public Shares held by it in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares, without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against a proposed Business Combination.

Extension of the Combination Period

On October 13, 2022, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting in lieu of the 2022 annual general meeting of shareholders (the “2022 Shareholders Meeting”). At the 2022 Shareholders Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved a proposal to extend the date by which the Company must consummate the Business Combination from October 20, 2022 (which was 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering) to October 20, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”)) (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”) by amending the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Charter Amendment”). The Extension Amendment Proposal was approved by the Company’s shareholders. Under Cayman Islands law, the Charter Amendment took effect upon approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal.

In connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, the holders of 44,406,317 Class A ordinary shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.08 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $447,637,640.94, in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal. In connection therewith, the Company converted the money market instruments in its Trust Account to cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company. The Company may waive this restriction in its sole discretion.

BRIDGETOWN HOLDINGS LIMITED

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2023

The Sponsor and Management have agreed to waive: (i) their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of the Company’s Business Combination and (ii) their redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares and any Public Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination by October 20, 2023 or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre- Business Combination activity.

Following the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Company has until October 20, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board of Directors), to complete its Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company has not completed 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 tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The Sponsor has agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters in the Initial Public Offering have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (as discussed in Note 5) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per-share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per Public Share or (ii) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses and other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Liquidity and Going Concern Consideration

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $146,148 in its operating bank accounts, $154,927,287 in cash held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem its ordinary shares in connection therewith and a working capital deficit of $10,266,260.

The Company intends to complete a Business Combination by October 20, 2023. However, in the absence of a completed Business Combination, the Company may require additional capital. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, suspending the pursuit of a Business Combination. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) Topic 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”), the Company has until October 20, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a 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. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raise 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 October 20, 2023.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2023. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any future periods.

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 independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

BRIDGETOWN HOLDINGS LIMITED

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2023

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

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 accompanying unaudited condensed 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 significantly from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $146,148 and $23,399 in cash held in its operating account, respectively, and did not have any cash equivalents.

Cash Held in Trust Account

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the trust balance was held entirely in cash. However, during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company invested its trust balance in the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury Department”) and equivalent securities. The Company classifies its Treasury Department and equivalent securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 320 “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.” Held-to-maturity securities are those securities that the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.

Warrant Liabilities

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

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a liability at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The Public Warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available are valued using a Monte Carlo Simulation. The Private Placement Warrants are valued using a Modified Black Scholes Model.

BRIDGETOWN HOLDINGS LIMITED

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2023

The warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies its warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ deficit. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheets.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period.

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Class A ordinary shares reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Gross proceeds	$	594,993,510

Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption – June 30, 2023	$	154,927,287

Offering Costs

Offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the Initial Public Offering that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to warrant liabilities were expensed as incurred in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations. Offering costs associated with the Class A ordinary shares issued were initially charged to temporary equity and then accreted to ordinary shares subject to redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounted to $26,628,771, of which $26,024,707 was charged to shareholders’ deficit upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering and $604,064 was expensed to the statements of operations.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the 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. Management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

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

Net (Loss) Income Per Ordinary Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net (loss) income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of ordinary share outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares are excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

The calculation of diluted (loss) income per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the Private Placement since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The warrants are exercisable to purchase 11,480,947 Class A ordinary shares in the aggregate. For the respective periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net (loss) income per ordinary share is the same as basic net (loss) income per ordinary shares for the periods presented.

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per ordinary share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,										For the Six Months Ended June 30,

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities that qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximate the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature, except for the warrant liabilities (as discussed in Note 8).

BRIDGETOWN HOLDINGS LIMITED

JUNE 30, 2023

Fair Value Measurements

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

●

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

●

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

●

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

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 815. 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 accompanying unaudited condensed 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 accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU Topic 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. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 has on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company has not adopted this guidance as of June 30, 2023.

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 accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements.

NOTE 3 — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 59,499,351 Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, inclusive of 4,499,351 Units sold to the underwriters on October 29, 2020, upon the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one Public Share and one-third of one Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (as discussed in Note 7).

NOTE 4 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

In July 2020, the Sponsor purchased 2,875,000 Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. On July 20, 2020, the Company declared a share dividend of one share for each Class B ordinary share in issue, on September 22, 2020, the Company effected a share dividend of 1.5 shares for each Class B ordinary share in issue, and on October 13, 2020, the Company effected a share dividend of 0.1 shares for each Class B ordinary share in issue, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 15,812,500 Founder Shares. On September 22, 2020, the Sponsor transferred 1,819,875 Founder Shares to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, 575,000 Founder Shares to an affiliate of the Sponsor and 5,000 Founder Shares to each of the Company’s independent directors and a senior advisor. All share and per-share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the share transactions.

The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 2,062,500 shares that were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the number of Founder Shares would equal 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the Initial Public Offering. As a result of the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option on October 29, 2020, and the forfeiture of the remaining over-allotment option, a total of 1,124,838 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture and 937,662 Founder Shares were forfeited, resulting in an aggregate of 14,874,838 Founder Shares issued and outstanding.

The Sponsor has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (i) one year after the completion of the Company’s Business Combination or (ii) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share consolidations, share capitalizations, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Company’s Business Combination or (y) the date following the completion of a Business Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

Private Placement

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $9,000,000. On October 29, 2020, in connection with the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option, the Company sold an additional 449,936 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $674,902 (together with the sale of Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor, the “Private Placement”). Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (as discussed in Note 7). A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

Advances from Related Party

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Sponsor paid for certain offering and other operating costs on behalf of the Company in connection with the Initial Public Offering amounting to $2,818,398 and $2,218,938, respectively. The advances are non-interest bearing and due on demand.

Due to Related Party

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, a related party paid for costs on behalf of the Company amounting to $400,000. The advances are non-interest bearing and due on demand.

Promissory Notes — Related Party

On July 9, 2020, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor (the “First Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company could borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. The First Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2020 or (ii) the completion of the Initial Public Offering. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was $300,000 outstanding under the First Promissory Note, which is currently due on demand.

On December 15, 2021 an additional unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor (the “Second Promissory Note”) of $500,000 was signed. The Second Promissory Note is due on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Company consummates a Business Combination or (ii) the date that the winding up of the Company is effective. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was $500,000 and $500,000, respectively, outstanding under the Second Promissory Note.

On February 8, 2022, the Company signed an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor of $500,000 (the “Third Promissory Note”, together with the First Promissory Note and the Second Promissory Note, the “Promissory Notes”). The Third Promissory Note carries no interest and is due on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Company consummates a Business Combination or (ii) the date that the winding up of the Company is effective. The Sponsor has waived rights to the Trust Account under all of the Promissory Notes. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was $500,000 and $500,000, respectively, outstanding under the Third Promissory Note.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was $1,300,000 and $1,300,000, respectively, outstanding under the Promissory Notes.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company may repay the Working Capital Loans. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans may be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post- Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Risks and Uncertainties

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

In February 2022, Russia 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 Russia. The invasion of Ukraine may result in market volatility that could adversely affect share price and the search for a target company. Further, the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy are not determinable as of the date of the accompanying unaudited condensed 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 the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements.

Registration Rights

Pursuant to a registration and shareholders rights agreement entered into on October 15, 2020, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of any Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of any Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement that was executed in connection with the Initial Public Offering requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to the Class A ordinary shares). The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidated damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities.

In addition, FWD Life Insurance Public Company Limited and FWD Life Insurance Company Limited (together, the “FWD Parties”), affiliates of the Sponsor, purchased an aggregate of $50,000,000 of the Units in the Initial Public Offering. Upon such purchase, as affiliates of the Sponsor, the FWD Parties became affiliates (as defined in the Securities Act) of the Company following the Initial Public Offering and the securities the FWD Parties acquired are control securities under Rule 144 and may not be resold unless pursuant to an effective registration statement or exemption from registration under the Securities Act.

Underwriting Agreement

Pursuant to the underwriting agreement, dated October 15, 2020, by and among the Company, UBS Securities LLC and BTIG, LLC (together, the “Representatives” and the agreement, the “Underwriting Agreement”), the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.30 per Unit, or $17,849,805 in the aggregate. A portion of such amount, not to exceed 25% of the total amount of the deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account, may be re-allocated or paid to affiliated or unaffiliated third parties that assist the Company in consummating a Business Combination. The election to re-allocate or make any such payments to affiliated or unaffiliated third parties will be solely at the discretion of the Management, and such unaffiliated third parties will be selected by Management in their sole and absolute discretion. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement. The Company may, in its sole discretion, pay up to an additional 1.25% in the aggregate of deferred underwriting commissions to one or more of the underwriters based on the underwriters’ performance during the Business Combination process. Additionally, at the closing of the Business Combination, the Company (in its sole discretion) may pay a customary financial consulting fee to the Sponsor and/or affiliates of the Sponsor in the event such party or parties provide the Company with specific target company, industry, financial or market expertise, as well as insights, relationships, services or resources that the Company believes are necessary in order to assess, negotiate and consummate the Business Combination.

In connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option on October 29, 2020, the underwriters paid the Company an aggregate of $2,724,968 to reimburse certain of the Company’s expenses and fees in connection with the Initial Public Offering. Such fee represented an amount equal to 0.5% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, after deducting the greater of $50 million and 35% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering to the extent received from Units purchased by the Sponsor or its affiliates and certain investors identified by the Sponsor to the underwriters.

The FWD Parties, affiliates of the Sponsor, purchased an aggregate of $50,000,000 of the Units in the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters did not receive any upfront cash underwriting commissions on such Units.

On June 29, 2023, each of the Representatives notified us that it would not act in any capacity in connection with the MoneyHero Business Combination and agreed to waive any entitlement to the deferred underwriting compensation with respect to the MoneyHero Business Combination to be paid pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement. The deferred fees pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement were earned in full upon completion of the Initial Public Offering, however, payment was conditioned upon the closing of the MoneyHero Business Combination. Each of the Representatives provided a waiver to receive such fees from us. We accepted each waiver as neither of the Representatives has participated in any aspect of the MoneyHero Business Combination.

Consulting Agreement

On April 12, 2021, the Company entered into a consulting agreement for advisory services for $10,000 per month. For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred and paid $30,000 and $60,000 for these services, respectively.

MoneyHero Business Combination Agreement

On May 25, 2023, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “MoneyHero Business Combination Agreement”), by and among the Company, MoneyHero Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“PubCo”), Gemini Merger Sub 1 Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub 1”), Gemini Merger Sub 2 Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub 2”) and CompareAsia Group Capital Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“CGCL”, collectively with PubCo, Merger Sub 1 and Merger Sub 2, the “MoneyHero Group”).

The MoneyHero Business Combination Agreement and the MoneyHero Business Combination (as defined below) have been approved by the Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the special committee established by the Board of Directors (the “Bridgetown Special Committee”). The Company formed the Bridgetown Special Committee, consisting of all of the members of the Board of Directors other than Daniel Wong, to evaluate and make recommendations to the full Board of Directors with respect to the MoneyHero Business Combination with CGCL. Mr. Wong is not a member of the Bridgetown Special Committee, was not permitted to attend any sessions of the Bridgetown Special Committee, and has recused himself from discussions of the Board of Directors about the MoneyHero Business Combination and voting on matters related to the MoneyHero Business Combination. Houlihan Capital, LLC, the independent financial advisor to the Bridgetown Special Committee, delivered a fairness opinion in which Houlihan Capital LLC opined that the MoneyHero Business Combination, based on and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications set forth in such opinion, is fair to the unaffiliated shareholders of the Company, from a financial point of view.

The Business Combination

The MoneyHero Business Combination Agreement provides for, among other things, the following transactions: (i) the Company will merge with and into Merger Sub 1, with Merger Sub 1 being the surviving entity and remaining a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Initial Merger”); and (ii) following the Initial Merger, Merger Sub 2 will merge with and into CGCL, with CGCL being the surviving entity and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Acquisition Merger”, collectively with the Initial Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the MoneyHero Business Combination Agreement, the “MoneyHero Business Combination”).

The MoneyHero Business Combination is expected to close in the third or fourth quarter of 2023, following the receipt of the required approval by the Company’s shareholders and CGCL’s shareholders and the fulfillment of other customary closing conditions.

Business Combination Consideration

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the MoneyHero Business Combination Agreement, (a) at the effective time of the Initial Merger (the “Initial Merger Effective Time”), (i) each Class A ordinary share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time (other than any Class A ordinary shares redeemed (if any) pursuant to Acquiror Share Redemptions (as defined in the MoneyHero Business Combination Agreement)) will be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for one PubCo Class A Ordinary Share (as defined in the MoneyHero Business Combination Agreement); (ii) each Acquiror Warrant (as defined in the MoneyHero Business Combination Agreement) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time will be assumed by PubCo and converted into a PubCo warrant to purchase one PubCo Class A Ordinary Share as determined in accordance with the MoneyHero Business Combination Agreement and pursuant to the Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement (as defined below); (iii) each Class B ordinary share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time will be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for one Class B ordinary share of PubCo; (iv) the outstanding portion of any Working Capital Loans (as defined in the MoneyHero Business Combination Agreement) equal to or less than $5,000,000 (subject to such increases as may be agreed in writing between the Company and CGCL) outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time shall be capitalized and converted into the right to receive such number of newly issued PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares as determined in accordance with the MoneyHero Business Combination Agreement and pursuant to the Working Capital Loan Capitalization Agreement (as defined below); and (v) each issued and outstanding share of Merger Sub 1 will continue existing and constitute the only issued and outstanding share in the capital of Merger Sub 1 (as the surviving company in the Initial Merger); and (b) at the effective time of the Acquisition Merger (the “Acquisition Effective Time”), (i) each ordinary share (including, for the avoidance of doubt, each Class A ordinary share of CGCL issued in the Company Preference Share Conversion (as defined in the MoneyHero Business Combination Agreement)) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Acquisition Effective Time will automatically be cancelled and converted into such number of newly issued PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares as determined in accordance with the MoneyHero Business Combination Agreement; (ii) each Company Option (as defined in the MoneyHero Business Combination Agreement) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Acquisition Effective Time will be assumed by PubCo and converted into an option in respect of such number of newly issued PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares as determined in accordance with the MoneyHero Business Combination Agreement; (iii) each Company Warrant (as defined in the MoneyHero Business Combination Agreement) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Acquisition Effective Time will be assumed by PubCo and converted into a PubCo warrant to purchase such number of newly issued PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares as determined in accordance with the MoneyHero Business Combination Agreement and pursuant to the PubCo Class A Acquisition Warrant Instrument, PubCo Class C-1 Acquisition Warrant Instrument or PubCo Class C-2 Acquisition Warrant Instrument (each as defined in the MoneyHero Business Combination Agreement), as applicable; (iv) the unexercised portion of the Existing Call Option (as defined in the MoneyHero Business Combination Agreement) will be assumed by PubCo and converted into an option to purchase certain loan notes of PubCo and certain newly issued PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of the PubCo Call Option Agreement (as defined below); and (v) each issued and outstanding share of Merger Sub 2 will automatically be converted into one Surviving Company Ordinary Share (as defined in the MoneyHero Business Combination Agreement) and accordingly, PubCo shall be the holder of all Surviving Company Ordinary Shares.

With effect from the Initial Merger Effective Time and on all matters subject to a vote of the shareholders of PubCo, holders of PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares will be entitled to one vote per share and holders of the PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares will be entitled to ten votes per share. Each PubCo Class B Ordinary Share (x) is convertible into one PubCo Class A Ordinary Share at any time at the option of the holder thereof, and (y) will automatically and immediately convert into one PubCo Class A Ordinary Share upon, among others and subject to certain limitations, the sale, transfer or other disposal by the holder thereof to any other person that is not an affiliate of such holder, in each case of the foregoing (x) and (y), subject to the terms and conditions of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of PubCo to be adopted and become effective at the Initial Merger Effective Time (the “PubCo Charter”, a form of which is attached to the MoneyHero Business Combination Agreement as an exhibit).

Immediately after the Acquisition Effective Time and without any action on the part of any holder of PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares, PubCo will redesignate each PubCo Class A Ordinary Share that was exchanged from the Class A ordinary shares of CGCL issued in the Company Preference Share Conversion pursuant to the MoneyHero Business Combination Agreement into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable convertible preferred share of PubCo, par value US$0.0001 per share, having the rights, preferences and restrictions set forth in the PubCo Charter, including in Articles 17 to 24 and Article 89 thereof.

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding.

Class A Ordinary Shares

The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 15,093,034 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption which are presented as temporary equity. In connection with the 2022 Shareholders Meeting and the Extension Amendment Proposal, shareholders holding 44,406,317 Class A ordinary shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account. The Company paid cash in the aggregate amount of $447,637,640.94, or approximately $10.08 per share to such redeeming shareholders.

Unless otherwise provided in a Business Combination, the Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which Class B ordinary shares shall convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, 20% of the sum of all ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the Business Combination and any private placement-equivalent warrants issued to the Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of any loans made to the Company).

NOTE 7 — WARRANTS

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

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

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the Company’s Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file, and within 60 business days following the Business Combination to have declared effective, a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Existing Warrant Agreement. No warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to such Class A ordinary shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective within a specified period following the consummation of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall has failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis.

Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A ordinary shares are, at the time of any exercise of a warrant, not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but will use its best efforts to qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

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

●

in whole and not in part;

●

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

●

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and

●

if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share consolidations, share capitalizations, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date the Company sends to the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

BRIDGETOWN HOLDINGS LIMITED

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2023

If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may not exercise its redemption right if the issuance of shares upon exercise of the warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or the Company is unable to effect such registration or qualification.

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

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per Class A ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of a Business Combination on the date of the consummation of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of its Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

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

NOTE 8 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, all assets in the Trust Account were held in cash.

The following table presents information about the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

Description	Level		June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Liabilities:
Warrant Liabilities – Public Warrants		1	$	4,958,279	$	2,379,974
Warrant Liabilities – Private Placement Warrants		3	$	1,805,982	$	773,992

The warrants were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities on the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheets. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations.

BRIDGETOWN HOLDINGS LIMITED

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2023

The measurement of the Public Warrants at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market.

Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the Private Placement Warrant liability for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate. The Company estimates the volatility of its ordinary shares based on historical volatility of select peer companies that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the Treasury Department zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero. A significant increase or decrease in volatility alone could cause a significant increase or decrease in ending fair value.

The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was estimated at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 to be $0.28 and $0.12, respectively, using the modified Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions:

	June 30, 2023			December 31, 2022
Risk-free interest rate		4.06	%		3.98	%
Time to expiration, in Years		5.28			5.75
Expected volatility		22.8	%		8.5	%
Exercise price	$	11.50		$	11.50
Share Price	$	10.27		$	9.91

The following table presents the changes in the fair value of Private Placement Warrant liability:

	Private Placement
Fair value as of December 31, 2022	$	773,992
Change in valuation inputs or other assumptions		1,031,990
Fair value as of June 30, 2023	$	1,805,982

	Private Placement
Fair value as of December 31, 2021	$	5,869,442
Change in valuation inputs or other assumptions		(4,192,459	)
Fair value as of June 30, 2022	$	1,676,983

There were no transfers in or out of Level 3 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Report including, without limitation, statements in this section regarding our financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of Management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. When used in this Report, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our Management, identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of Management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our Management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in our filings with the SEC. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Report under “Item 1. Financial Statements”.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on May 27, 2020 formed for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination. While we may pursue a Business Combination target in any business or industry, we are focusing our search on a target with operations or prospective operations in the technology, financial services, or media sectors in Southeast Asia. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares and debt.

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

Extension of our Combination Period

On October 13, 2022, we held the 2022 Shareholders Meeting and approved, among other things, the Extension Amendment Proposal, which extended the date by which we must consummate a business combination from October 20, 2022 (which was 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering) to October 20, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board of Directors). In connection with the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal, shareholders holding 44,406,317 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account. We paid cash in the aggregate amount of $447,637,641, or approximately $10.08 per share to such redeeming shareholders.

MoneyHero Business Combination

On May 25, 2023, we entered into the MoneyHero Business Combination Agreement. The MoneyHero Business Combination Agreement provides for, among other things, a business combination involving the Company and the MoneyHero Group. The MoneyHero Business Combination is expected to close in the third or fourth quarter of 2023, following the receipt of the required approval by our shareholders and CGCL’s shareholders and the fulfillment of other customary closing conditions.

For a full description of the MoneyHero Business Combination Agreement and the proposed MoneyHero Business Combination, including the ancillary agreements entered into in connection therewith, please see “Item 1. Financial Statements”.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. Our only activities from inception through June 30, 2023 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, to search for and identify a target company for consummating a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. We expect that we will incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with searching for, and completing, a Business Combination.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we had a net loss of $3,608,493, which consisted of change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $2,231,643 and formation and operating cost of $2,774,441, offset by the interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account of $1,397,591.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had a net loss of $6,374,858, which consisted of change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $3,610,295 and formation and operating cost of $5,328,857, offset by the interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account of $2,564,294.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net income of $8,467,120, which consisted of change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $8,018,748 and interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $915,418, offset by the formation and operating cost of $467,046.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had a net income of $17,247,421, which consisted of change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $17,083,985 and interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $981,685, offset by the formation and operating cost of $818,249.

Factors That May Adversely Affect Our Results of Operations

Our results of operations and our ability to complete a Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including resurgences and the emergence of new variants, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in Ukraine. We cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete a Business Combination.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern Consideration

On October 20, 2020, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 55,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $550,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant generating gross proceeds of $9,000,000.

On October 29, 2020, we issued an additional 4,499,351 Units for total gross proceeds of $44,993,510 in connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option. Simultaneously with the partial closing of the over-allotment option, we also consummated the sale of an additional 449,936 Private Placement Warrants at $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $674,902.

Following the Initial Public Offering, the partial exercise of the over-allotment option and the Private Placement, a total of $594,993,510 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $26,628,771 in transaction costs, including $8,174,902 of underwriting fees net of $2,724,968 reimbursed from the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering, $17,849,805 of deferred underwriting fees and $604,064 of other offering costs.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $477,251. Net loss of $6,374,858 was affected by change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $3,610,295, and interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $2,564,294. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $4,851,606 of cash from operating activities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $319,687. Net income of $17,247,421 was affected by change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $17,083,985, and interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $981,685. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $498,562 of cash from operating activities.

As of June 30, 2023, we had cash held in the Trust Account of $154,927,287. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, which interest shall be net of taxes payable and excluding deferred underwriting commissions, to complete our Business Combination. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete a Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

As of June 30, 2023, we had cash of $146,148. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

On October 13, 2022, we instructed Continental to liquidate the investments held in the trust account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at Morgan Stanley, with Continental continuing to act as trustee, until the earlier of the consummation of our Business Combination or our liquidation. As a result, following the liquidation of investments in the Trust Account, the remaining proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement are no longer invested in U.S. government securities or money market funds.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a 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 Working Capital Loans as may be required. If we complete a business combination, we may repay such Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. In the event that a business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants, at a price of $1.50 per warrant, at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

On July 9, 2020, the First Promissory Note was signed. Pursuant to the First Promissory Note, we could borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. The First Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2020 or (ii) the completion of the Initial Public Offering. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was $300,000 outstanding under the First Promissory Note, which is currently due on demand.

On December 15, 2021, the Second Promissory Note was signed. The Second Promissory Note is due on the earlier of (i) the date on which we consummate a Business Combination or (ii) the date that our winding up is effective. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was $500,000 and $500,000, respectively, outstanding under the Second Promissory Note.

On February 8, 2022, we signed the Third Promissory Note. The Third Promissory Note carries no interest and is due on the earlier of (i) the date on we consummate a Business Combination or (ii) the date that our winding is effective. The Sponsor has waived rights to the Trust Account under all of the Promissory Notes. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was $500,000 and $500,000, respectively, outstanding under the Third Promissory Note.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was $1,300,000 and $1,300,000, respectively, outstanding under the Promissory Notes, respectively.

Going Concern

We intend to complete a Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period. However, in the absence of a completed Business Combination, we may require additional capital. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASU 2014-15, we have until October 20, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that we will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, we will be required to liquidate and subsequently dissolve. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after the end of the Combination Period.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2023. 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 purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

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

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.30 per Unit, or $17,849,805. A portion of such amount, not to exceed 25% of the total amount of the deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account, may be re-allocated or paid to affiliated or unaffiliated third parties that assist in consummating a Business Combination. The election to re-allocate or make any such payments to affiliated or unaffiliated third parties will be solely at the discretion of Management, and such unaffiliated third parties will be selected by Management in their sole and absolute discretion. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. We may, in our sole discretion, pay up to an additional 1.25% in the aggregate of deferred underwriting commissions to one or more of the underwriters based on the underwriters’ performance during the Business Combination process.

On June 29, 2023, each of the Representatives notified the Company that it would not act in any capacity in connection with the MoneyHero Business Combination and agreed to waive any entitlement to the deferred underwriting compensation with respect to the MoneyHero Business Combination to be paid pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement. The deferred fees pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement were earned in full upon completion of the Initial Public Offering, however, payment was conditioned upon the closing of the MoneyHero Business Combination. Each of the Representatives provided a waiver to receive such fees from the Company. The Company accepted each waiver as neither of the Representatives has participated in any aspect of the MoneyHero Business Combination.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements and related disclosures contained in “Item 1. Financial Statements” in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

Warrant Liabilities

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

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Class A Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that features redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Our Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of our condensed balance sheets.

Net (Loss) Income per Ordinary Share

Net (loss) income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of ordinary share outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares are excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASB issued 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. We are currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 has on our 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 our condensed financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

Under the supervision and with the participation of Management, including our Certifying Officer, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2023 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

To the knowledge of Management, there is no litigation currently pending or contemplated against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such or against any of our property.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

As a smaller reporting company under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to include risk factors in this Report. However, as of the date of this Report, other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors previously disclosed in our (i) Registration Statement, (ii) Annual Reports on Forms 10-K and 10-K/A for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020, December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on December 21, 2021, March 28, 2022 and March 30, 2023, respectively, (iii) Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q and Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2021, March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on December 21, 2021, May 12, 2022, August 12, 2022, November 9, 2022 and May 10, 2023, respectively, and (iv) Proxy Statement of Schedule 14A, as filed with the SEC on September 29, 2022. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risks could arise that may also affect our business or ability to consummate a Business Combination. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

For risks related to the MoneyHero Group and the MoneyHero Business Combination, please refer to the MoneyHero Registration Statement when it becomes available on www.sec.gov.

Market conditions, economic uncertainty or downturns could adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and our ability to consummate a Business Combination.

In recent years, the United States and other markets have experienced cyclical or episodic downturns, and worldwide economic conditions remain uncertain, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions, the Ukraine-Russia conflict, instability in the U.S. and global banking systems, rising fuel prices, increasing interest rates or foreign exchange rates and high inflation and the possibility of a recession. A significant downturn in economic conditions may make it more difficult for us to consummate a Business Combination.

We cannot predict the timing, strength, or duration of any future economic slowdown or any subsequent recovery generally, or in any industry. If the conditions in the general economy and the markets in which we operate worsen from present levels, our business, financial condition, operating results and our ability to consummate a Business Combination could be adversely affected.

If our initial Business Combination involves a company organized under the laws of a state of the United States, it is possible a 1% U.S. federal excise tax will be imposed on us in connection with redemptions of our common stock after or in connection with such initial Business Combination.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 became law in the United States, which, among other things, imposes a 1% excise tax on the fair market value of certain repurchases (including certain redemptions) of stock by publicly traded domestic (i.e., United States) corporations (and certain non-U.S. corporations treated as “surrogate foreign corporations”). The excise tax will apply to stock repurchases occurring in 2023 and beyond. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares of stock repurchased at the time of the repurchase. The Treasury Department has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out, and prevent the abuse or avoidance of, the excise tax; however, only limited guidance has been issued to date.

As an entity incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company, the 1% excise tax is not expected to apply to redemptions of our Class A ordinary shares (absent any regulations and other additional guidance that may be issued in the future with retroactive effect).

However, in connection with an initial Business Combination involving a company organized under the laws of the United States, it is possible that we domesticate and continue as a Delaware corporation prior to certain redemptions and, because our securities are trading on exchange, it is possible that we will be subject to the excise tax with respect to any subsequent redemptions, including redemptions in connection with the initial Business Combination, that are treated as repurchases for this purpose (other than, pursuant to recently issued guidance from the Treasury Department, redemptions in complete liquidation of the company). In all cases, the extent of the excise tax that may be incurred will depend on a number of factors, including the fair market value of our stock redeemed, the extent such redemptions could be treated as dividends and not repurchases, and the content of any regulations and other additional guidance from the Treasury Department that may be issued and applicable to the redemptions. Issuances of stock by a repurchasing corporation in a year in which such corporation repurchases stock may reduce the amount of excise tax imposed with respect to such repurchase. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not the shareholders from which stock is repurchased. The imposition of the excise tax as a result of redemptions in connection with the initial Business Combination could, however, reduce the amount of cash available to pay redemptions or reduce the cash contribution to the target business in connection with our initial Business Combination, which could cause the other shareholders of the combined company to economically bear the impact of such excise tax.

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

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

None.

Use of Proceeds

For a description of the use of proceeds generated in our Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, see Part II, Item 2 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on June 24, 2021. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our Initial Public Offering and Private Placement as described in the Registration Statement. The specific investments in our Trust Account may change from time to time.

On October 13, 2022, we instructed Continental to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at Morgan Stanley, with Continental continuing to act as trustee, until the earlier of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation. As a result, following the liquidation of investments in the Trust Account, the remaining proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement are no longer invested in U.S. government securities or money market funds.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

None.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information.

On June 29, 2023, each of the Representatives notified us that it would not act in any capacity in connection with the MoneyHero Business Combination and agreed to waive any entitlement to the deferred underwriting compensation with respect to the MoneyHero Business Combination to be paid pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement. The deferred fees pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement were earned in full upon completion of the Initial Public Offering, however, payment was conditioned upon the closing of the Business Combination. Each of the Representatives provided a waiver to receive such fees from us. We accepted each waiver as neither of the Representatives has participated in any aspect of the MoneyHero Business Combination.
